Text Chapter 131, Red Furnace
The desolate plain, no grass, if you don't get closer, you will definitely not find, in the center of the plain, there is an active volcano, hundreds of years have passed since the last eruption, in recent years, the internal movement of the volcano is violent, from time to time can hear bursts of fluctuations, many people speculate, the mobile phone is the most data-saving, ad-free site.
Many people like to explore extinct volcanoes to see if they can find something interesting, but active volcanoes, especially those that are about to erupt, are not sensitive. However, some people know that there are tigers in the mountains, and they prefer to go to the tiger mountains. This person is Liu Wei'an.
At the bottom of the volcano hundreds of meters deep, Liu Wei'an guarded a crimson furnace, not far away was boiling magma, the dark red flames illuminated the entire underground into a patch of red, the light was extinguished, and the bursting bubbles overflowed the terrible temperature.
The stove has three legs and two ears and a round mouth, the whole body is red, the shape is simple, the atmosphere is heavy, because of the flame, the small hole on the top rises black smoke, which is some impurities, volatilized.
This furnace has a great origin, called the Red Fire Furnace, and it is the first black iron-level furnace that appeared in Huangsha City, and the so-called furnace is used for refining, which is different from the furnace used for refining medicine. It caused a stir in the auction. There are two immortal industries, one is refining medicine, and the other is refining tools, and the furnace that is related to the success or failure of refining tools naturally has a lot of status.
Equipment is difficult to come by, and furnaces like this are even rarer, at present, there are less than five blacksmith shops in Huangsha City, and only three have furnaces, and the furnaces of the other two can only be called containers. And these three blacksmith shops with furnaces are only whiteboard equipment, just because the furnaces are so rare, they will be so valued.
For this furnace, the major forces are fighting very fiercely, some forces do not have blacksmiths under their hands, just for the sake of the future, and more people don't want others to get it, and others grab it, which means that the strength increases, which others don't want to see.
If it weren't for the wealth that swept away nearly half of the entire Huangsha City, Liu Wei'an would never have been able to take this red fire furnace, even so, it was difficult to fight his way out of many forces, and it took 21 million copper plates to take down this red fire furnace and become a dark horse in the auction.
When the red fire furnace was in hand, Liu Wei'an discovered that the first step had only been taken in the long march of refining weapons, and one of the insurmountable peaks was fire, and ordinary flames could not melt the blue ice iron. Blue Ice is iron-cold, and when it encounters flames, it will emit a cold aura, which greatly reduces the temperature of the flames.
Liu Wei'an was helpless, and asked the experienced old blacksmith for help, and the old blacksmith said that if you want to melt blue ice iron, you must have a special flame, ordinary wood can not reach this high temperature, only Chaoyang wood, phoenix cry blood and other cherished wood can meet this requirement, however, this kind of wood is hard to find, and the old blacksmith's shop only treasures the second-class velvet wood, but Ren Liu Wei'an said that he broke his mouth and refused to take it out to take a look, let alone sell it.
Liu Wei'an was helpless, so he went to find other old blacksmiths, and the results were the same, but in the end, he dug up a useful clue, that is, this active volcano.
"If there is a way to endure the heat of the volcano, the problem of flames can be solved." These are the words of the old blacksmith. The temperature inside the volcano is unbearable even for gold-level masters, not to mention Liu Wei'an, a person at the peak of the Bronze Stage, not even the Silver Period, obviously the old blacksmith wants Liu Wei'an to retreat from the difficulty, but there is something out of the list.
belongs to fire, so that Liu Wei'an can endure the high temperature that ordinary people can't bear, but if you just rely on Liu Wei'an, you can't go down to the bottom of the volcano, but there is a more magical than this, this is a legend-level ancient scripture, although it is only a beginner, it has already made Liu Wei'an barely able to be active at the bottom of the volcano.
After three hours of incineration, the red furnace has completely turned red, and the temperature in the furnace has reached an unimaginable level.
The old blacksmith said that although the blue ice iron is not a divine material, but because of the characteristics of coldness, the temperature below 1,000 degrees cannot make it melt, and the blue ice iron in the red furnace has begun to melt, which proves that the temperature must be higher than 1,000 degrees.
The blue ice iron that melted into liquid flowed out along a small hole, Liu Wei'an caught it with a container that had been prepared a long time ago, the blue liquid was steaming white, if you don't know, you must think it was cold, only Liu Wei'an, who was close at hand, could deeply feel how terrible the high temperature of this blue liquid was.
In addition to some impurities being volatilized, the main impurities are sent out from another hole, this is the benefit of the furnace, if there is no furnace, these jobs must be operated manually, think about how difficult it is to separate impurities at such high temperatures.
After the container was full, Liu Wei'an immediately changed the container, and after about five minutes, the blue liquid in the container began to solidify, like a piece of blue crystal, crystal clear, exuding a dream-like color, especially under the reflection of the dark red environment of the underground * volcano, a little more rose, the basket and red alternately, brilliant and colorful.
There is also an unexpected benefit of using the flames of the volcano, the flames are endless, endless, and there is no need to worry about the lack of flames, saving the effort of adding firewood. The flames of the volcano are unstable, strong and weak, when it is weak, it is nothing, if it is too strong, it will evaporate the material, however, this is a fatal problem for ordinary blacksmiths, and it becomes insignificant in Liu Wei'an, in the final analysis, because of the characteristics of blue ice iron, high temperature resistance, and can worry about the problem of vaporization at all.
In addition to changing the container, Liu Wei'an unexpectedly found that he had nothing to do, the main steps were completed by the red stove, and for others, he worked diligently, he was like a soy sauce beater. Liu Wei'an did not have the habit of wasting time, and took out the shield to depict the charm, originally with the attitude of giving it a try, but he succeeded after a try, and obtained unexpected benefits.
Perhaps due to the influence of the high temperature, Liu Wei'an's portrayal of the 'Golden Stone Talisman' was much easier than normal, and the fusion of the two formations was quite good, the kind of aura conflict that occurred at every turn seemed to be dull, except for major mistakes, the two talismans could easily and perfectly fuse.
The progress of the talisman is only one of them, and the other surprise is the effect, the defensive line of the shield has been increased by 10%, which is extremely rare, under the condition that the material remains the same, it is almost impossible to increase the strength of the shield, but at the bottom of this volcano, Liu Wei'an did it.
The days passed, Liu Wei'an refined weapons and made shields at night, slept in the morning, went to class in the afternoon, the days were tense and fulfilling, two weeks passed in a blink of an eye, after the last drop of blue liquid flowed out, the blue ice iron he dug had been refined eighty percent, and there was not much left. And the shield has also made nearly a few hundred, of which most of them are whiteboard level, and the rest are black iron equipment, the production of black iron equipment is far more difficult than the whiteboard equipment, but the environment of the volcano minimizes this degree of difficulty, Liu Wei'an can make this multi-shield out, if it is changed to other environments, it is estimated that half of the number of shields can be made.
In two weeks, Liu Wei'an also finished all the courses in the third year of high school, this speed, so that Gu Yangyue, who is used to seeing geniuses, is also amazed, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he would never believe that someone could complete the three-year course in two weeks.
In the next two days, I was doing mock questions and previous college entrance examination papers, except for the slightly unsatisfactory Chinese language, Liu Wei'an deducted a few points because of the slightly unsatisfactory font, and all the other homework was full marks, and only in the case of carelessness would he lose one or two points. Gu Yangyue finally concluded: I have nothing to teach you, the next thing is up to you, everything else is fine, only words, you still need to practice.
Gu Yangyue knew that calligraphy was not an overnight effort, but only mentioned it slightly, and after packing up the textbooks, she found that the next step was to separate, and a faint reluctance swelled up inexplicably in her heart, and she didn't want to say a few words of blessing.
"Thank you for the teacher's hard teaching, a small gift, not a tribute, don't refuse." Liu Wei'an took out a box.
"What?" Gu Yangyue herself didn't realize that her first reaction was to ask something, not to refuse.
"See for yourself." Liu Wei'an put the box in Gu Yangyue's hand.
Open the box and lay quietly on a mobile phone, the latest mobile phone nowadays, Gu Yangyue looked at the mobile phone, and suddenly blushed, because she remembered that this mobile phone was exactly the same as Liu Wei'an, a couple's mobile phone? The words that suddenly popped into her mind made her heart beat uneasily, and she hesitated for a few seconds before she made up her mind and said softly: "If you pass the exam, I will accept it, if you don't pass, I won't have the face to accept it." ”
"Then you wait for my good news." Liu Wei'an chuckled, extremely confident. Gu Yangyue looked at the man who was full of vitality, and there was a faint joy in her heart.
Coming out of Gu Yangyue's house, Liu Wei'an made a phone call to Wu Lili and told her that she was going to come to the school to register, Wu Lili didn't say a word, didn't listen to the class, slipped out of the classroom directly, and appeared in front of Liu Wei'an in less than half an hour.
Xinfeng University, covering an area of 1,000 acres, has a wide range, not so much a university, but a university town, where students come and go, driving I don't know how many industries, catering, clothing, department stores, scientific research, real estate, it can be said that any university is a cornucopia.
The huge arched door is a symbol of Xinfeng City, and Wu Lili's car has obviously been remembered by the security guards, and they put it in without asking.
There were acquaintances leading the way, and the registration went smoothly, because Wu San reported his name early in the morning, and the Academic Affairs Office just checked the name and sent the admission ticket to Liu Wei'an.
Next, it's time for the exam.
