Chapter 10: Sword Forging

The process of forging a sword is roughly divided into: smelting, forging, and quenching. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Smelting is to remove impurities in the metal, if the alloy sword is used, it is necessary to adjust the metal ratio in advance, and then in the smelting process to make various metals into one.

The smelted metal solution is poured into the prepared sword model, and after the metal solution cools, it becomes a sword embryo. Forging is the process of making a sword embryo a sword weapon.

Finally, there is quenching.

The so-called quenching is to allow the formed sword to cool down quickly, so that the sword shape is completely fixed.

Lu Ming had already learned about the process of sword casting from Mixed Yuan Daojun, and at this time, through Zhang Yucheng's practice and teaching for an hour, Lu Ming had a deeper understanding of sword casting.

Recalling the theoretical knowledge of refining weapons taught by the Mixed Yuan Dao Monarch in the past, Lu Ming knew that the most difficult thing in the process of forging a sword was smelting and forging, the difficulty of smelting was the control of the fire, and the difficulty of forging was the control of strength.

If it is in the world, there is a more difficult process of forging a sword, and this process is called enlightenment. However, Lu Ming didn't need to think about enlightenment at this time.

An hour later.

"Are you ready?" , Fan Qianyan asked.

Seeing Lu Ming nodding, Fan Qianyan said, "Let's start."

At this time, there were already many refining apprentices who came to watch, and although most of them were not optimistic about Lu Ming, this did not hinder their curiosity.

After Fan Qianyan said the beginning, Lu Ming walked to the table where the metal was placed, and put all the metal on the table on the cart one by one.

"What is he doing here? Is he going to forge a sword from alloy?"

"If you don't know the metal ratio of the alloy, how can you successfully refine the alloy, and he uses such a huge amount of metal, I really can't figure out what he is going to do."

"I think he's messing around, but fortunately the metals here aren't valuable, otherwise he's doing this, I'm afraid our quota this month will be much less."

……

The onlookers gradually began to discuss, Fan Qianyan frowned, and she couldn't guess what Lu Ming wanted.

"If you can't successfully refine the sword, the metals you use will need to be compensated according to the market price," Fan Qianyan said coldly.

Lu Ming just glanced at her, and then pushed the cart towards the furnace.

Lu Ming remembered that the Mixed Yuan Daojun had said that everything in heaven and earth had a breath, even the metal mountains and stones were no exception, but compared to living beings, their breath was almost undetectable.

In the Four Ways of the Mixed Yuan Daojun, there is a way to gain insight into the breath of metal mountains and stones. It's just that this method can only be performed with the help of a magic technique.

However, among all the methods taught to Lu Ming by the Mixed Yuan Daojun, there is exactly one technique, and this technique is the supreme divine power of Buddhism, 'King Kong Angry Eyes'.

Vajra's angry eyes destroy all false illusions in the world, and penetrate all the essential truths of heaven and earth.

Although Lu Ming only had a preliminary grasp of this magical power, it was enough to only use it to gain insight into the metal aura.

The most difficult part of smelting is the control of the heat, if the flame is weak, the impurities cannot be exhausted, if it is stronger, it will damage the power of the metal.

At this time, Lu Ming relied on his insight into the changes in the aura of the metal in the furnace to control the heat, although it was a bit tricky, but it was an effective method.

Mixed Yuan Daojun looked at the various metals burning in the furnace and said, "You don't put these metals into the furnace according to a certain proportion, presumably you don't want to refine alloys."

Lu Ming nodded, "That's right, I don't have the formula for alloys in my hands, so how can I refine alloys?"

Mixed Yuan Daojun pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I already understand your thoughts, but it's a bit opportunistic to do so."

Lu Ming smiled bitterly, "If there is any other way, I will not make this decision."

Mixed Yuan Daojun nodded, "Although it is a bit tricky, it is not easy to think of this method when you have never actually touched the refining weapon."

This is Lu Ming's assessment, and the Mixed Yuan Daojun will naturally not interfere, everything needs to rely on Lu Ming himself.

Half an hour later, all kinds of metals have melted into liquids.

Fan Qianyan asked, "With so many metal solutions, how do you refine them into a sword weapon, or do you waste all the excess solutions?"

Lu Ming smiled, "The master looks at it."

Seeing Lu Ming's smile so confident, Fan Qianyan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and said secretly, "This metal solution is quite variegated, and at a glance, you can see that the various metals he uses are not completely smelted together, so this kid must not be refining alloys, but what is his purpose?" ”

Since she couldn't figure it out, Fan Qianyan simply stopped thinking deeply, but the rest of the people gradually burst into discussions.

"It's ridiculous that he thinks that he can make alloys by mixing these metal solutions together......"

"The characteristics of each metal are different, if you smelt different metals together indiscriminately, the alloy properties obtained will be even inferior to a single metal, not to mention that there are many variegated colors in the solution refined by this person, which shows that these metals are not completely smelted together."

……

Not long after the discussion gradually started, Lu Ming's subsequent actions surprised everyone again.

At this time, Lu Ming did not follow the normal process of casting the sword to cast the metal solution into the sword fan, but directly poured all the solution into a square mold.

After the solution cooled into a embryo, Lu Ming took it out and immediately began to forge it.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, but the laughter was even louder.

"Hey boy, you don't want to use a sledgehammer to make this piece of iron directly into a sword, do you?"

As soon as this person's voice fell, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Lu Ming ignored these people and brandished a sledgehammer to himself. If you look closely, you will notice that in Lu Ming's lowered eyes, a wisp of golden red will flash from time to time, and this golden red light is King Kong anger.

As the golden red light flashed again and again, the hammer in Lu Ming's hand kept falling. The huge piece of iron became smaller and smaller under Lu Ming's beating again and again, but the speed at which it shrank was extremely slow and imperceptible.

The first person to notice the abnormality of the iron was Fan Qianyan, she raised her eyes and stared, when she finally confirmed her discovery, her heart seemed to set off a storm, "He is refining metal!" ”

Refining is an extremely complicated science, no one can practice all the skills in refining to the peak of the realm, even those seven-grade refiners, often only one or two of the skills in the refining to the peak of the realm.

Forging is an extremely ordinary skill in refining, but its importance cannot be underestimated. According to the refiners who have trained forging to the pinnacle of perfection, they can feel the breath of life in metal as they forge it, so that they can refine it and turn ordinary metal into a treasure.

Although Fan Qianyan had seen the process of metal refining more than once, she never imagined that she would see this skill again in a teenager.

When Lu Ming stopped what he was doing, the huge mass had shrunk to a quarter of its original size.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Lu Ming put the iron into the furnace again to smelt, and after the iron was smelted into a metal solution again, Lu Ming poured it into the sword fan prepared in advance.

After the sword embryo was formed, Lu Ming began the second forging, and this time the forging only took a quarter of an hour.

After the sword is formed, it is the final step of sword casting, quenching.

In the world, the metal used to forge swords is all extraordinary iron, and the quenching agent used for quenching is not ordinary water. However, there was no need to worry so much at this time, I saw Lu Ming put the sword weapon into the quenching pool, and when he took out the sword weapon again, a sharp blade was already presented in front of everyone.
