Volume I, Dongyi Tribe 83.The Rekindled Fire
The value of things depends on the need for it, not just on the surface, a very important thing for you, may be worthless to others, so the equality and inequality are only known to the parties, it is better to abandon these troubles, why bother to cause dust...
Jin Ouzi is out of this consideration, after all, he is also a wise man who has been famous for a long time, although it is indeed enough to make him feel painful, but the matter has come to this point, and the entanglement can only increase the troubles, and considering how to better integrate the two swords is the most important thing.
Now every step must be cautious, there is no room for mistakes, I have been preparing for so many years, and finally there is a place to use, not excited that it is fake, near the largest earth stove, looking at the craftsmen who have been busy around, Jin Ouzi suddenly dared not do it, this seems to be a feeling he has never had since he first started casting.
It took a long time for him to take a deep breath and walk into the stone house on the side, his face was full of energy, and then he closed the door without saying a word, leaving only the sound of crackling flames in the entire smelting hall.
Leaving everyone looking at each other, not knowing what to order, it seemed that Master Jin Ouzi was preparing to complete it alone, which made them full of anticipation.
The best person who knows the master here is his apprentice Master Jin Gan, but although he has the true inheritance of the master, and the smelting technique is also very powerful, he can't help, so he can only guard the door with everyone, however, this largest clay furnace has been out for too long, and if you want to achieve the best smelting temperature, it is obviously not a moment and a half, maybe it will take a day or two, plus the time of casting, three or five days are possible, the master is old, I don't know if I can bear it, thinking of this, his heart is full of worry, and he dare not persuade, I could only pray silently.
Smelting on the same battlefield, each has its own dangers, even Mu San, a layman, can see it, the temperature of the earth furnace is gradually rising, even the furnace wall is slowly turning red, his location has a scorching feeling, it is difficult to breathe, not to mention Jin Ouzi who is in the stone house, and he has been staying in it for a long time, and he has been working non-stop, the torment is not at all something that ordinary people can bear, no wonder he has such an achievement, so far, Mu San will not underestimate any craftsman.
A crisp sound of "ding" came out, and the first casting was opened from the quiet, the sound was beautiful and beautiful, full of energy, which made everyone seem to settle down, and the sense of expectation also grew, and then waited for no intention, Jin Gan arranged for everyone to leave this place first, leaving only two craftsmen to stay aside, and the others continued their work at hand.
Taking advantage of this free time, Jin Jun took Mu San to take the initiative to walk to Master Jin Gan, and solemnly introduced Mu San to the only two smelting masters in the tribe, which is a major foundation for the Jin tribe to gain a foothold in the Eastern Regions, so they have been called "Metallurgical Tribe" since ancient times, and it is also thanks to the ancestors who attach importance to inheritance that they have a resounding reputation, but they are guilty, and this pride has also become the reason for being peeped at by the Taiyun Alliance.
Master Jin Ouzi, who inherited from his father, was not the most outstanding one in the tribe when he was young, and was not even favored for a while, but he loved it, dared to go out to experience, through his own efforts, when he returned, his strength had increased greatly, and he was famous all over the world, and finally created the Longyuan Sword in the tribe's ten-year casting competition, defeated many strong people, and inherited the position of the master in the tribe, of course, this involves many secret things, most of the people in the tribe know have passed away, even Jin Jun is not very clear, let alone an outsider.
And Master Jin Gan, in fact, is not a member of the Jin tribe, it is said that Jin Ouzi rescued the slave from the outside, he has no talent at all, but he is born strong, and can endure loneliness, after the accumulation of time and ears, and later became a master, this was given the surname Jin, and the difference between him and his division is that he is not very good at creating, the needs on the battlefield are enough, but if you want to create a magic weapon, it is still a lot worse.
Maybe it's also because of Jin Gan's reasons in these aspects, which makes him not famous on the mainland, and he doesn't have a very good shot of divine soldiers, and he is not well known to the world, but this can't be said to be bad, after all, he is the apprentice of the master, and his identity is also a generation of masters, and the weapons used in smelting the army are still more than enough, so most of his energy is focused on building equipment for the tribal army, and after some things under his hands, only these dozen people are left, serious shortcomings, if you can't make overall arrangements, how to provide complete weapons for the soldiers?
Over the years, although the Jin tribe is not in a tight war, but the consumption on weekdays is just enough to maintain each other normally, and there is little hoarding, once the war comes, all this seems to be a little stretched, so Jin Gan has also been looking for a solution, and he has also done some research and improvement in peacetime, so that the Jin tribe is not weaker than other big tribes in some aspects of equipment.
Jin Jun introduced Mu San in great detail, as if he was afraid that Mu San would not know the relationship, but how could Mu San be the kind of person who acted when he saw the situation, he came here this time to improve his own weapons and equipment, and asked someone to do something, how could he not be respectful?
And by now, they had been in for a long time, and seeing that it was going to be dark outside, and the business had not yet begun, how could he not be in a hurry? Although he got four divine weapons at once, for the whole of the Wood Imperial Army, there was no essential improvement.
Finally waited until Jin Jun finished his introduction, seeing that he was still about to introduce himself, Mu San hurriedly answered and interrupted his unspoken words, not to mention his own merits, it was important to get down to business, he combined his ideas and designs with the inheritance of the cave people and Jin Gan listened, at the beginning Jin Gan did not feel that there was anything interesting, the other party's layman's method, in his opinion, is a little naïve and ridiculous, but listen carefully, it seems that it is not so simple, there are really some things that can be learned from it.
For example, this concept of integrated pouring, in his impression, is not unthought of a similar way, but in fact it may not be easy to implement, pouring abrasives is a big problem, what can withstand such a strong high temperature?
And in addition to being able to finalize the version at the beginning, the effect is not too great, because each weapon still needs to be hammered out one by one, and the result is that the weapon will still become different, for the whole, there seems to be no substantial improvement, but when Mu San talked about the original habit, with the method of hammering first and then casting, that is, first all the rough sword embryos are not separated, tempered in a unified way, and then cast in the same abrasive tool when it is almost done, so that the style is unified, and mass production can be achieved.
Sure enough, when these two concepts are combined, everything seems to become useful.
Yes, they have always adhered to the earliest way, first cast and then hammered, so they can only be built one by one, each of which has been tempered by craftsmen day and night before it is finally formed, take a long sword in use, just hammer and cast it will take one or two days, more than three or four days, and even seven or eight days, any other of these things can not be done, dare not take it lightly, everyone can only wholeheartedly, spend their own minds to do a good job, because once distracted, it may cause the sword to be too rigid and brittle, and it is easy to break, In the end, it becomes a failure, which is time-consuming and thankless.
In this case, it is conceivable how much equipment can be created by only a dozen craftsmen of the Jin tribe, and the effort consumed is immeasurable, and the young people are not very willing to do this business, so the efficiency is getting worse and worse, so it seems that it is really not that they are deliberately lazy, but in fact, they are powerless, nor are they comfortable habits, but a helpless continuation and inability to improve.
Jin Gan personally goes into battle every day, and it can only be arranged like this, the tribe is now at a critical moment, he really doesn't dare to try to change, once the experiment is unsuccessful, the output is gone, and the lives of the soldiers are even more insecure, then he will become a sinner through the ages, looking at the dozen or so craftsmen under his command are tired to vomit every day, he is really distressed, and there is nothing he can do.
Well, now that this plan is really feasible, it's not just a matter of saving, he has more time to improve the equipment and make new equipment, Mu Sanyue said that Jin Gan is more excited, this novel smelting method opens up a whole new world, and there is a great certainty that it can succeed.
Haha, Jin Gan couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, sweeping away the previous passive state, those problems that had plagued him for a long time were like dead knots, and they could finally be opened slowly, and their breathing became much brisker, but, now, it's too early to be happy, how to solve the problem of abrasives?
Looking at Jin Gan's gaze for help, Mu San really hadn't thought about this problem, and now he thought temporarily, it was even more difficult, he was not an expert in this area, and he had little contact with these things on weekdays, so he really didn't know much, the two were speechless for a while, and fell into silence at the same time.
Recall carefully, what can withstand high temperatures without deformation, and can be very good to make templates, wood animal bones These things needless to say, they must not be able to resist such a strong temperature, and the stone should be able to, but it is too difficult to make a mold with stone.
After going through all the things he could think of, Mu San still found nothing, and suddenly, the huge earthen furnace in front of him came into his mind, since it can resist the tempering of high temperatures, it is no problem to be used as an abrasive, and it is very simple to shape, and it can be well solidified by high temperature heating.
With Mu San's guidance, Jin Gan finally thought of the most common and most easily ignored soil, he couldn't wait to order someone to make the first long sword sharpener, of course, there is still a long way to go to practice, this Mu San can't help much, it's useless to be anxious, he can only wait patiently, he believes in Jin Gan's ability, will be a good solution, with this enthusiasm and serious attitude alone, the finished product will not take too long.
