"That's good, tomorrow will only be cut for one day, and my personal affairs will be almost settled during this trip, and the next thing is to collect wild fruits in the mountains. The Jiang family's series of actions should also be prepared as soon as possible! In addition, Uncle Zhensun has already sent people back to Chang'an City, sending at least dozens of carriages and waterwheels here, and he also needs the Jiang family to give enough support! ”

Before Li Zhi's words fell, Jiang Xian Ling walked over with a big smile, "Then what do you have to say, we are a family!" ”

The name of the Jiang County Order is actually only for the convenience of readers, and the Tang people call the county order Ming Mansion, for example, Zhang County Decree and Li County Decree will be called Zhang Ming Mansion and Li Ming Mansion.

"Mr. Li, it's more than half of the time now, is it not the Tang Dao transformation that will continue tomorrow night? Logging is hard work, so there's always plenty of time to rest! Jiang Han asked.

"I think I'll continue tonight, tomorrow afternoon on the mountain, there is still that ore in the furnace, and everyone's mood is also booming!" Li Zhi looked at the surrounding situation and made such a proposal.

"I think so!" Jiang County Ling was also in a high mood, "It's rare that the Jiang family's compound and guests are so high, even those mothers-in-law and women are not sleepy." Anyway, it doesn't affect the people nearby, so since the furnace has been raised, let's continue to see it later. ”

Li Zhi turned to look at the location of the old ancestor, and actually saw that she was surrounded by Jiang and other women, talking endlessly.

Tang Qi and Fang Pin have already piled up more than a dozen Chengliang Tang knives around them, it seems that the things that the thirty sergeants are equipped with will not take long to complete, and now the quality of these Tang knives is not inferior to some famous blades.

"Uncle, in this case, the Jiang family will also take out some standing things to quench it, let's pull out some more steel wires, those iron birch trees are not good with them, prepare more, and you will keep the rest."

So Li Zhi led him to be busy for a while, until an hour later, at about two o'clock in the morning, after everyone talked about it, the ancestor returned to the bedroom to rest.

At this time, Jiang Shan found that the ore in the furnace began to melt, Li Zhi immediately became nervous, and hurriedly walked forward, he planned to create his own Tang knife, so as to truly create a myth of the invincibility of Tang Dao.

It is suspected that the extraterrestrial meteorite material is rare, once it is carefully crafted, it will inevitably be harder than any material Tang knife, coupled with the extreme craftsmanship of hand-forging in ancient Tianzhu, he is convinced that its quality surpasses all existing Tang knives.

But after meeting with Jiang Shan, this person proposed another set of plans: "Mr. Li, it is true that the Tang knife has its distinct significance of the times, but as a rare material that can be passed down to future generations, its unique style is rare enough and is also the foundation of the inheritance!" To tell you the truth, since I got this meteorite, I have repeatedly designed it in my heart, and this is a fairly mature style pattern, how do you see it? I also want to build it with my own hands to relieve the itch in my heart for years! ”

As soon as Li Zhi saw the result, he was instantly attracted, it was a strange-shaped knife with a blade length of more than three feet and a wide back, a ruler-long dragon-shaped handle, and a dragon's head as the tail end.

The blade part is an asymmetrical design, and the back of the knife is three strands of dragon hanging beard, which is as thick as a finger, and it is also drained of blood grooves and has a sharp blade; On the blade side is the shape of a two-winged dragon horn, with a graceful but fierce arc.

The entire blade is slightly narrower in the middle of the traditional thick-backed wide blade, with abnormally wide and convex ends at both ends, and the front end is a snow-bright overall wide and thick blade part.

The blade is drawn in a perfect arc to pull out the extremely narrow and acute angle of the knife; Extend out the concave arc of the other side and stretch back one foot; and condensed the end of the blade with another protrusion like the tip of a knife; After the re-arc, a slight arc nearly two feet long is derived from the back of the knife, which has changed from snowy bright to purple all over; It is skillfully integrated with the three strands of dragon hanging beard, and there are small dragon hanging beards extending down in more than a dozen places at the long slight arc, and the inverted whiskers are sharp and convex like dragon teeth.

In this way, it looks like a special-shaped giant knife with terrifying lethality, and it is as wide as a finger of blood groove throughout the entire knife body, the tip of the knife, the blade, the back of the knife, the blade, and the handle of the knife can all hurt people, and the most lethal place is the tip of the knife and the blade.

With such a huge weapon, the knife holder must have considerable wrist strength and skill, and also have enough internal sustaining ability, otherwise not only will he not be able to hurt the enemy, but he will also injure himself.

And the design structure is excellent, when the enemy is used, tossing and turning, fast Lingli, body destroying the knife, the knife turns with the person, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, the practical value is extremely high, the killing power is great, and the non-ordinary weapons can be resisted.

The total length of the knife is five feet, the length of the knife is three feet eight inches, and the handle of the knife is one foot and two inches. If it is used by an extremely strong cultivator with enough skills, it is not as casual as chopping melons and vegetables to rush into the enemy group.

On the whole, although the style is a little strange, but combined with the function and arc of each part of each other, its connotation is rich, the structure is rigorous, the technique is strong, and it has a high scientific, practical and forging condensation value.

Li Zhi was immersed in it for a long time, and even the three daughters who came later did not say anything to disturb him.

After a long time, he exhaled a deep breath of turbid breath and sighed: "There is no doubt that such a behemoth that is so fierce that it can hurt people with just the sword qi should have too strong its spontaneous sword intent to devour the knife wielder. But it obviously requires a rather complicated process to build, and those with a little common sense of weapons can see at a glance that this knife is powerful and heavy, which is conducive to chopping, and it is afraid that if it is allowed to fall to the ground on its own, its own weight is enough to make the solid ground crack. With such a large and complex design, would it be extremely difficult to build? ”

Jiang Shan said with a smile: "That's natural, fortunately, I have been thinking carefully for more than a few years, and the confidence and manufacturing process have been matured, and I didn't build it before, because of the lack of better forging technology, and the lack of personal ability, forging is not sustainable, and I can't reflect the exquisite part of the design concept!" Now that you have your advanced crafts and strength, I think it's time to build it! ”

I didn't expect him to have such a persistent pursuit, this middle-aged man who looks honest and down-to-earth, and has a straightforward personality, with his domineering design, taught Li Zhi a good lesson.

Because of this calculation, I am still surprised that even a corner of the arc can make the hair disappear, and its solid and extremely craftsman-like advanced design concept has been a kind of artistic consciousness throughout.

And in the simplest calculation of a few feet of space, it cleverly avoids all asymmetrical weapons, and the actual moves are unsustainable, but deliberately highlights the sharp edge of the knife everywhere to resist the enemy, so that the wielder can have a calm change of time.

"Uncle Shan, to be honest, I am looking forward to the casting of this domineering giant knife, but I am extremely apprehensive in my heart, after all, your design is the ultimate in cold weapons, and I am seriously worried about my lack of forging experience that is higher than my own theory and practice, which makes me very uneasy!" Li Zhi told the truth.

Jiang Shan laughed, "Our advantage is that we have accumulated long-term experience and have the characteristics of the civilization model based on a large number of ancient artifacts, and the next real forging process is just a kind of imitation." With your profound fire control and forging process foundation, coupled with my experience in the furnace, and almost close my eyes and still familiar with the angle of the work to undertake the transition, slowly groping, inch by inch intensive research, even if it fails, it is a kind of harvest, isn't it? ”

Li Zhi was instantly contaminated by his pride, "Then let's try?" In my estimation, this process will be extremely long, and Uncle Shan's body bones may be supported? In the meantime, you can't afford to give up halfway! ”

"I care about these, maybe the difficulty is much smaller than we imagined, since I can remember, I have been full of curiosity and yearning for the strange magic soldiers, this kind of design drawing, in the nearly three years of actuarial implementation, there are another thirty years of exhaustive thinking, I think it is in a very mature state at present, maybe when forging, the unforgettable design concept extension, will be a particularly critical point!"

Since it has been decided, it is useless to say more, Jiang Han has changed the position of Tang Dao builders, and not many people paid attention to this matter at the beginning, but with the circulation of the knife pattern, almost everyone was shocked by Jiangshan's extremely bold design style.

So, people gradually gathered in the direction of the furnace, and Jiang Han also sent people to relight a few bonfires in time, after all, it was still cold in autumn at night.

The noise at the scene did not fall, only the two figures in front of the furnace kept shuttling.

In fact, without the existence of Li Zhi, it is impossible for Jiang Shan to put his design into practice, just take out the piece of red smelted into a honeycomb, and there are few people on the scene who can do it, although it is only the size of a basketball, the weight is more than 100 catties.

Even if Jiang Shan could hold it before, such a hot fire at a high temperature of nearly 1,000 degrees, with the current semi-primitive scientific and technological means, there is nothing that can be taken out of the furnace with the help of things.

Then it entered the stage of repeated folding and forging of the sledgehammer, Jiang Shan had already changed to the biggest sledgehammer in his hand, and Li Zhi was using two huge special tongs at the same time, and it seemed that every time he changed the angle of the blank, it was extremely difficult.

The unknown blank smelted is sponge-like, and after repeated heating, folding and forging, it can reduce the impurities and excessive carbon in the embryo and increase the elasticity and toughness of the steel.

The carbon content of the knife embryo needs to be more uniform, and the iron crystal will be more fine, and the thousands of layers of the knife embryo are the manifestation of the strong toughness of the sword.

Each return step is called covering the soil burning blade, just like painting, a special red clay is applied to the knife blank, and then the blank is placed in a melting furnace to heat it.

With the passage of time, the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit, and it was easier for Li Zhi to judge at what moment he should extract the blank that had appeared with knife traces with lightning speed, and then insert it into the secret coolant at the same speed to quench it.

The knife bar "rattles" in the coolant, and then it is taken out, and the covering soil is removed, and the pattern of ups and downs, shades and shades is formed on the knife bar.

This interesting freehand landscape-like texture is not only a kind of decoration, the thinner part of the covering soil will cool down quickly, and the temperature of the thicker part of the covering soil will drop much more slowly, so that the hardness of each part of the blade is different, and finally form a rigid and soft effect.

The ancient forging process is not all full of dramatic tension, more often it is the interweaving of hard work and boredom, seeing that the dawn is dawning, some people can not bear the sleepiness and go back to the room to rest, there is no woman at the scene, even the three of Qingqi can't stand the sleepiness and disappears.

The short moment when the blank was returned to the furnace was the time for Li Zhi and the two of them to take a break, and they immediately handed him the meat that was baking at any time, and Sima Chengzhen was in charge of the supply of wine for the night.

In his opinion, others may feel the boring forging process, but for him, it is from the forging similar to the alchemy of the casting tripod, there is a kind of careful exploration and practice of breaking through the accumulation and challenging the limits of common sense.

In this definition, capturing is the core concept of analyzing human culture and its historical dynamics, and it is also the ideal structure of Taoism's immortality religion, which is a need for science and technology.

Li Zhi took advantage of this to inject a wisp of true qi into Jiang Shan's body, and after the latter's initial surprise, he gradually became accustomed to it, and finally entered the sense of body qi to keep him energetic and vigorous.
