Chapter 7: The First Ring and a Short Bow
However, compared to these, Chen Yi's biggest gain is his ability to control power. Although the total amount of his ability is not very strong, he has an advantage that far exceeds the strength of other aspects of his ability, and that is precision. This time the purification of the small iron beads, although limited in terms of physical strength, can not obtain better efficiency; However, in terms of quality, it is indeed improving to a visible degree.
As early as the day when Chen Yi purified the small iron beads and the heat flow ran out, Chen Yi asked his father for a pair of surgical scissors. Now that several days have passed, Chen's father finally got the surgical scissors back. This pair of scissors seems to be a bit old, and the screws are loose and spanning, and it is estimated that it is almost scrapped. It is estimated that if it weren't for this, with Chen's father's character, he wouldn't have brought it home.
Fortunately, Chen Yi's plan is to use this pair of scissors as a material, and he plans to use part of a pair of stainless steel surgical scissors to make a ring before the end of the holiday.
In Chen Yi's design, the ring is made up of seven thin wires that are wound around each other to form a ring. The interior is hollowed out, and some Latin letters are added to the outside to decorate.
The material is just ordinary stainless steel, and there is nothing too brilliant in the process, but after the seven small iron wires are wound with each other, in an extremely small space, a hollow pipe is enclosed, and this kind of more accurate control is still very laborious for Chen Yi.
The ring itself is very small, it doesn't use much steel, and a pair of scissors only uses a tenth of the material. But the pattern is very non-kung fu, and it took Chen Yi a full three days. The main reason for this is the high precision of the ring design, which brings the processing burden. However, after the ring was made, Chen Yi felt that his perception and affinity for metal had improved to varying degrees.
In addition to testing his ability and making rings, when Chen Yi's injuries were better, he started making models for the second time. This time, he wants to make the main body from the Mobile Fighter G series, the God Gundam.
The last time I chose the Unicorn Gundam, I chose it because it was the latest mech, it sold very well, and the structure was relatively square, so it was suitable for trying the basics by yourself.
This time, I chose the God Gundam, although the shape is simple, but the curved surface occupies the vast majority, which is a small challenge for polishing. Another reason is that this machine is on a model forum, and many people are scolding the finished product of the electroplating version for not working well, and he thinks of his metal control ability and plans to try it himself.
Chen Yi's plan to make this model should be relatively slow: he is going to use a large number of offset plates to adjust the scale of the model, add details, or something. Due to time constraints, it was impossible to do it at home, so he simply didn't think about so many abilities, and just used his ability to make a lot of metal supplements such as metal spouts, small rivets, and barbed wire. After the simple assembly and polishing, the rest is left to go back to school, buy the relevant materials, and then make them.
There is basically no rush to make a model. Even if Chen Yi has metal abilities, it is just a crisp cut when cutting, a file can be crisp when polishing, and more often, he has to rely on sandpaper to ink work little by little.
This kind of money-making efficiency is definitely unsatisfactory. But nothing can stop a willingness: Chen Yi likes to make models, and there is no financial pressure, he is willing to play in this way, and no one can stop him.
What, you say you use your abilities to dominate?
If there was still a little bit of youth and frivolity before, after watching the ability battle on the train, Chen Yi knew that he was just a nobody, anyway, his ability was clearly growing, so it was better to ......
Let it grow a little more.
While thinking like this, Chen Yi's subordinates kept going, and after a while, the matter on the model's side was solved. Then start packing your things, and you'll be back to school in a few days, so pack up early and plan ahead.
While cleaning up here, Chen Zuo called: "What to do?" ”
"I'm packing my things, the train the day after tomorrow." Chen Yi replied.
"At eight o'clock tonight, Wang Zheng invited guests to dinner."
Chen Zuo said this, of course Chen Yi couldn't refuse, everyone is friends, although there was a little accident, but it doesn't affect feelings, does it.
"Well, when are you coming?"
After saying the time and place, Chen Yi changed his clothes and prepared to go downstairs. Although the wound has healed in the past few days, there are still a few injections of the rabies vaccine, and Chen's father felt that his son was also a medical student, so he simply filled back the medicine behind him and let Chen Yi inject himself.
Because of this, Chen Yi doesn't have to delay going to school.
"Chen Yi, how are you, are you recovering?" Wang Zheng's banquet was not arranged at the Hyde Hotel, which they had promised at the beginning. It's not that Wang Zheng regretted it, but Chen Yi was unwilling to go to a five-star hotel to break the bank, and finally arranged it in a seafood stall with a very exquisite taste......
Therefore, such an arrangement is not expensive, and it is quite face-saving, and Wang Zheng is also very happy.
"I'm fine, a few more shots of the vaccine and it's over." Chen Yi replied simply, that thrill was thrilling. But fortunately, the problem has been solved, and there are no sequelae, but I have seen blood in a serious way.
After a few more words, the dishes came up, although the season is not right but the fat crab, the red fat shrimp, the fried fragrant mussels, and the scallops seasoned with garlic and vermicelli, steamed scallops, plus a few plates of refreshing vegetables, and local beef and sheep stir-fried vegetables, a group of people are carnivores, and they are happy to eat one.
After eating and drinking, several people began to drink some wine, Chen Yi was still unpleasant, holding a bottle of Sprite and drinking there, but Wang Zheng and Chen played them to drink in a posture - Chen Yi is also a person with a driver's license, so it's a big deal to let Chen Yi run errands.
At the banquet, Wang Zheng talked about the hunting activities that died a few days ago due to the attack of the mad wolf: "One day, those foreigners were also frightened, and they all ran away in the car. We have a subordinate relationship with the forest ranger camp, and it's not good to knock them on anything, so I'll bring back the battalion commander's short bow to you. ”
As he spoke, he took a canvas package from behind the chair and handed it to Chen Yi.
The package was about an arm's length, the width of a reader's magazine, and Chen Yi opened the zipper, revealing an antique wooden bow inside.
The meniscus is very simple, but the lines are quite smooth, and the bowstring is a yellow tendon, which is already ready.
When he took out the bow, he found that it was really a short bow, only half an arm's length, and the arrow inserted in the quiver next to it was a genuine good thing, with bird feathers stuck to the wooden shaft, and a metal arrow in front, the surface was rough, but it was still very sharp.
"This bow is used by their boss for hunting, don't get on the train, you can't pass this security check." Wang Zheng said with a smile while instructing Chen Yi on the use of this short bow.
This kind of traditional bow is very different from the modern compound bow that Chen Yi has come into contact with, and without the guidance of Wang Zheng, a genuine coach, he really can't play it.
Chen Yi happily played for a while, and then put it away.
After thanking Wang Zheng, Chen Yi accompanied everyone to drink a few laps, and when it was already dark at night, Chen Yi sent a few people home.
Two days after the meal, Chen Yi met with his friends twice before stepping on the train to school.
The short bow was kept at home, with only a model and some simple tools that he had not done, his wallet still in his arms, and a bag of food, so he simply got on the train, spent more than forty hours alone, and simply got off the train.
These days at home, Chen Yi has not considered his ability and combat effectiveness, although this knife is a purified iron alloy and the texture is also very hard, but it is too short to be a combat weapon, and he doesn't know any knife skills, just rely on two knives to control the enemy, forget it.
However, he is not without ideas, the ability used by the special service team member called Meng Zhijun, that silk thread makes Chen Yi look very hot, this ability is very suitable for yin people, and he happens to be good at fine control of metal, this kind of direction is definitely better than two knives.
He didn't use these two knives much, but the young man, after all, likes novelty, and he has cut any key pen cap and small lock. If it is easy to cut, it will be cut, and if it is large, or if it has a good texture, it will not be cut. Regardless of whether it is cut off or not, it will cause considerable metal fatigue to the knife.
Although it is still very bright on the surface, there are many tiny cracks inside, and as a result, it completely collapses when it is used, and it breaks in it with a click. If it weren't for the fact that the mad wolf happened to be stabbed in the vital point at that time, I don't know if he would have the strength to take out the second knife, or support the people around him to come and help.
Chen Yi sighed, success is also metal, defeat is also metal. Metal certainly has many advantages, but the advantages are as obvious as the disadvantages, and if nothing else, the texture alone is very nerve-wracking. Even if Chen Yi successfully found the optimal ratio of several alloys and the texture problem was solved, there were still some fundamental problems that he could not avoid.
For example, the wire he is currently planning to imitate cannot be compared to silk because of its physical properties.
As far as he knew, if the most malleable gold was pulled to the thickness of a silk, the silk would be more resistant to traction than gold, and if the object of comparison was replaced by steel and spider silk, it would be more than eight times the difference.
This is determined by the physical limits of the metal, and has nothing to do with the process or structure, and this is the simplest and most fundamental problem that cannot be solved by some simple skills.
But although that is said, what should be done still has to be done, after all, Chen Yi has already obtained such an ability, so he can't expect God to open his eyes and change it to a better one.
As for the new material, Chen Yi already has an idea, that is, medical surgical instruments.
