Chapter 159: Probability
Gold and silver are the third and first strongest of all metals in electrical conductivity. Among them, the conductivity of silver is second only to that of superconductors. When they are exposed to strong magnetic fields and strong radiation environments, they will mutate into anodized silver and anodized gold over time.
The harsh formation environment makes their numbers very scarce.
Because both gold and silver are inert metals. Anodized gold and anodized silver also inherit this property of theirs. As a result, they are mostly found in their natural environment in an elemental form. With a small hammer, they can be knocked out of ordinary gold and silver. This is especially valuable because its elemental form makes it easier to handle than other mutated metals.
Among them, anodized silver can amplify and amplify mental force waves, enhancing the brain's control of mental force waves. A 1-meter-long, 1.2-millimeter-diameter anodized silver antenna can increase the intensity of the spiritual force wave by 1.5 times. Therefore, some professions that specialize in psychic force waves usually have electrochemical silver tattoos on their body surfaces. These tattoos are their antennas.
The last time Li Mei met the Evil Heart Warlock, it was an example.
Anodized gold, on the other hand, is even more precious, as it strengthens psionic energy and enhances one's control over it. Previously, on the city wall, Shen Boyang used a psionic pistol made of electrochemical gold.
The barrel of the gun was a coil of electrochemical gold wire, and the bolt was a diamond. All the user needs to do is gather the psionic energy onto the diamond and launch it. Psionic energy strengthened by a circle of electrorified gold threads will possess a huge amount of energy, just like a laser, which can easily ignite enemies and turn them into ashes.
More broadly, it is used to infuse the sword. From the tip of the sword to the hilt. In this way, when the swordsman is using a psionic skill. to strengthen the power of your skills.
As soon as he heard that he was going to bet on the piece of electrochemical gold, the greed in Mu Feng's eyes immediately dispersed. This piece of electrochemical gold is not his, it was given to him by Feng Bolun, the descendant of the Feng family. Although Feng Bolun is seven years younger than Shen Boyang, he wants to compare with Shen Boyang no matter what.
He heard that Shen Boyang had a psionic pistol, so he spent a lot of resources of the Feng family to find this piece of electrochemical gold. Order Mu Feng to forge a weapon for him that is not weak and psionic pistol.
Before Mu Feng collected the materials needed for the all-forged sword, he never started work, and put this piece of anodized gold in a bulletproof glass case.
He was relieved that no one would dare to steal the Feng clan's things in Lakin Bayde.
"That's not going to work, the value of this piece of anodized gold. It's a hundred times more expensive than your crystal. ”
Anodized gold is one of the few materials that is more precious than ordinary gemstones, and even in Larkin Bayde, where the price of mutated metals is slightly lower, that small piece of anodized gold is still worth more than most people's property.
"But the probability of winning my bet is much lower than one percent."
Li Mu put the crystal on the edge of the gas stove. The crystal refracted the light of the flames, and the gold flashed so brightly that Mu Feng blinked.
Mu Feng took a deep breath, and he glanced at the sword embryos. The blacksmith who forged them had worked with him in a forge for several years, and he knew their craft well. If it is used, it has been purified. The calibrated content of steel, the character explodes, and they may also forge a sharp sword.
Using unknown steel collected directly from the scavengers, they quenched and crushed handfuls. You can only put it here to bet on the sword.
As soon as he thought of this, he strengthened his faith.
"I bet with you, but the sword you picked out. You must be able to cut through the nine-centimeter-diameter steel pillar to win. ”
Mu Feng added another one.
There was a look of disdain on the faces of everyone present. As the best blacksmith in the whole of Larkin Bede. Mu Feng forged the best weapon, and it could only cut off a seven-centimeter steel pillar. There is simply no way that anyone here can forge a weapon that cuts off a nine-centimeter steel pillar.
Only Zhongzhou and Yamatai have such skilled blacksmiths.
Li Mu pretended to hesitate. He knew that if he agreed without hesitation, it would make Mu Feng suspicious.
Cutting off a steel pillar with a diameter of nine centimeters is not a human being, and none of the people present have that kind of strength. However, there is a hydraulic arm in the forge that specializes in testing the longsword, which can hold the sword with up to three tons of force and slash. The strength limit of the third-level human being is about 3.5 tons. This power is enough to simulate the attacks of most third-level powerhouses.
Most of the swords collided with the steel pillars under this force, and they would break, and very few people had the confidence to test them.
But in Zhongzhou, whether the forged blade can cut through the nine-centimeter steel pillar is only a test to divide excellent blacksmiths from ordinary blacksmiths.
Li Mu is very confident in Wang Quanli's craftsmanship, and the texture of the subway track is indeed very good, if he can pass the quenching level, it will definitely not be a problem to cut off the nine-centimeter steel column.
"Yes!"
He pretended to be annoyed by the mocking expression on Mu Feng's face and nodded.
"Okay, let's get started."
Mu Feng's face was full of smiles, and in his opinion, the crystal had fallen steadily in his hand.
Li Mu stretched out his hand and took out a check book from his arms, which was a bearer check issued by Dujia Huixin Bank, and anyone who held the check could take out money from Huixin Bank. A lot of predators like to deposit their money in Huixin Bank because of this. With this, the Du family absorbed a huge amount of wealth from the marauders.
For convenience, Li Mu also exchanged all the gold coins for checks from Huixin Bank.
Tearing off six cheques of one hundred dollars from the checkbook, he handed them to the apprentice. Huixin Bank has a branch in Larkin Bayde, and the six cheques are now available for exchange.
"The extra is the tip I gave to a few blacksmiths, and if I can quench it successfully, I will also have a reward."
Li Mu raised the checkbook in his hand, looking like a local tyrant. To be honest, he's quite obsessed with this feeling of spending money.
The four blacksmiths' breathing suddenly became heavy, and even Wang Quanli's eyes flashed with a hint of longing. Five gold coins alone is already a very generous tip, which is comparable to half a month's salary. I don't know what the reward will be after successful quenching.
Li Mei was a little distressed, her concept was very frugal, but she didn't say a word, she knew how to support Li Mu, he would always have his own reasons for doing things.
Looking at the checkbook in Li Mu's hand, a hint of misfortune flashed in Mu Feng's heart, he was going to hint that those blacksmiths would do a little bit of tricks while grinding and quenching, and then give them some sweetness afterwards. In that case, he can be said to be victorious. But now, looking at the look of these blacksmiths, they will not release water anyway.
"Let's get started."
Mu Feng looked at the blacksmiths with a sneer.
The most indispensable thing in the forge is the grinding wheel, and several blacksmiths are grinding the sword embryo with the grinding wheel, and their movements are very gentle, as if they are their children in their hands.
The checkbook in Li Mu's hand gave them endless motivation.
After more than an hour, they roughly polished the blade of the long sword, and the snow-bright blade reflected the cold light in the light, and the smooth lines could be seen. None of the swords appear with inclusions that symbolize defeat.
Mu Feng's heart sank, with the craftsmanship of these blacksmiths, among the five sword embryos, there would be at least two waste products with inclusions.
"Quench!"
The onlookers were a little excited, shouting in unison, they didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, they lost the piece of anodized gold, it was not them who were unlucky. Mu Feng is snarky, greedy and greedy, and his popularity among them is not good.
The blacksmiths who were preparing to quench were also excited. The number of gas furnaces is limited, so they are not quenched together, but heated and quenched one by one.
The black-gray sword embryo, heated by the gas furnace, gradually warmed up, emitting a bright red light.
One of the basic skills of a blacksmith is to be able to judge the temperature of the sword embryo by the light of the sword embryo. The temperature of the sword embryo during quenching is a key factor in determining success or failure. Without knowing the amount of mutated metals in the sword embryo, only a rough estimate of the temperature can be made.
The blacksmith took a deep breath and pulled the blade out of the furnace. On the red-hot sword embryo, there was a burst of flames, which was the residual propane.
"Whew!"
There was a somewhat harsh sound of metal cooling, and choking oil smoke poured out of the quenching tank.
Suddenly, there was a dense cracking sound of metal in the quenching tank.
The blacksmith's face changed, and he pulled the sword embryo out of the quenching trough. The sword embryo that was originally eighty centimeters long, at this time, only more than thirty centimeters remained, and the remaining part was all broken in the quenching tank.
"Haha."
Mu Feng laughed, the pressure accumulated before was all gone, these wastes were wastes after all, and the mud couldn't support the wall.
The second blade was inserted into the furnace, and the blacksmith did not burn the blade too hot, and inserted it into the quenching tank when the blade glowed a dark red.
This time, the sword embryo did not break, but when it was pulled out, the sword body had been bent by more than thirty degrees.
Li Mu's eyes narrowed, but he didn't panic at all in his heart, even if the content of magnetized molybdenum was enough, the chance of these blacksmiths succeeding in quenching was only twenty-five percent, and the first two failures were very normal. However, the chance of failure of all five sword embryos was only 23.7 percent.
And Wang Quanli is not an ordinary blacksmith.
The third sword was inserted into the quenching trough, and with a puff of oil smoke, the sword embryo was intact. After wiping off the oil stain on the sword, a cold light suddenly flowed over the sword.
"It's a success!"
The blacksmith had a shocked look on his face, and he looked at the long sword in his hand, completely unaware that he had succeeded in forging a sharp weapon.
Li Mu took the sword embryo in his hand, because this sword embryo had been successfully quenched and was close to completion, and its information immediately popped up on the retina.
[Unnamed long sword: the sword is 86cm long, the blade length is 68cm, and the sword weighs 1.58kg. After this sword has been carefully sharpened, it is enough to cut gold and break iron]
He grabbed the hilt of his sword and slashed forward, and the long sword slashed out a lightning cold light in the air battle, the blade pressing the air and pulling out a terrible whistling.
"Yes, the center of gravity of the sword body is very handy, and it is a sharp weapon that can kill."
Li Mu sighed, this sword alone earned back all his previous investment. (To be continued.) )
