Chapter 98, the first understanding of casting
After going offline, Liu Wei'an went to sleep at the end, and he slept in the dark, and he didn't get up until nine o'clock the next morning, and he didn't get up so late for the first time in all these years. When he woke up, he was full of energy, and the soreness and tiredness of his whole body had disappeared, and he found that the starry sky pattern of the "Dark Emperor Sutra" was lit up again, this discovery made him surprised and delighted, it turned out that he didn't need to eat power seeds to light up the pattern.
After the sacrifice of the Five Organs Temple, it will be launched.
If he hadn't gotten the "Casting Manual", he would have sold the ore at this time and exchanged it for money to buy power seeds, but now he doesn't have this kind of thought, with such a good ore, there is no need to cheapen others, how good it is to keep it for himself. However, the rest of the harvest in the cave in the past ten days can be cleaned up.
Except for the Space Ring and the bow, I bought everything else. I actually bought more than 800 gold coins, which made people sigh at the speed of robbery.
I made a thousand talisman arrows, and then went to the gambling bag shop to walk around, but unfortunately, I didn't see anything good, so I opened two bronzes and made a small profit of more than fifty gold coins. He just met the black bull who had just been resurrected, he told Liu Wei'an that Tong Xiaoxiao had broken through the bronze level and followed the convoy to escort, but Lu Yan left after breaking through, she asked the black bull to tell Liu Wei'an that she wanted to go alone and follow Liu Wei'an's side, there was no dangerous persecution, it was difficult for her to make progress, so she could only choose to leave, if one day, she could become a master, she would come back, if one day......
Saying goodbye to the black bull, Liu Wei'an's mood was a little gloomy, during this time, Lu Yan had been by his side, getting along day and night, and he was used to the existence of the other party, but Lu Yan didn't even have time to say goodbye in person and left.
"I hope you come back soon."
The person has already left, and Liu Wei'an can only be a blessing, clean up his mood, and start a big plan to strike iron, but soon he found out that he was wrong. This striking iron is definitely not as simple as taking a hammer and beating it back and forth according to the iron, and the content contained in it is simply all-encompassing and complex.
First of all, yours will be purified, otherwise, you will not be able to strike iron, but this step is now lazy, because you can directly buy the iron that has been purified by others.
But this step is not useful for Liu Wei'an, it is impossible for him to purify the blue ice iron to others, such a valuable special ore, once it is discovered, it is equivalent to an endless stream of trouble.
So, I had to do it myself.
Casting is far more complicated than you think. Beneficiation, refining, shaping, tempering, quenching, and opening, each step is enough for ordinary people to learn for a lifetime, this is still the building method of ordinary weapons, and the magic weapon also has to depict the formation pattern, inlay gems and other procedures, any step of the problem, will affect the quality of the weapon, and even success. Let's talk about mineral processing, take copper ore as a column.
Copper ore is divided into bronze, green copper, red copper, brass, red copper, and white copper. Different copper ores, different purity, mixed impurities are also different, some impurities are beneficial, but more impurities are harmful, how to select and identify, all depends on the individual, how to turn waste into treasure, all by means. Of course, it's too early to say this, Liu Wei'an is just a newcomer, what he needs most now is to know these ores,
Not only to know, but also to be familiar, this familiarity, not only the properties, composition, role of the ore, but also to make a price assessment, even people with deep pockets, can not ignore the price of the problem.
There are not a thousand kinds of ores in the world, but also eight hundred, except for some extraterrestrial meteorites and human beings have not yet discovered, if you want to know all the ores, it takes at least one to two years, if you want to be familiar, three or five years is very normal. After this step is passed, it is refined.
Refining is divided into two parts, the first is to remove the metal from the ore, this process is called rough refining, and the second is to remove the unwanted impurities in the metal, this process is called refining. After the required metal is refined, it can be plasticized.
The three things that are indispensable for refining are the furnace, the flame and the fuel, the fuel determines the flame, and the flame determines the effect of the refinement.
Shaping is not as simple as the dwarf holding a hammer in the TV, it involves a series of knowledge such as mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, design, etc., if you want to become a qualified craftsman, these things are indispensable, for example, a person has created a magic weapon, which is extremely sharp, but the design is wrong, and it was broken after a few clicks, such a magic weapon is unqualified, but it is a waste of materials and energy.
Tempering is very strict on physical strength and strength requirements, at least is to be able to wield dozens of pounds of hammer, followed by strong staying power, often build a magic weapon takes a few days and nights, if at the last moment because of physical exhaustion caused by the failure of the weapon to build, it is estimated that there is no need for others to blame, I have regretted vomiting blood.
Quenching is just a general term, in fact, after the weapon is formed, there are four fires to deal with, which are annealing, normalizing, quenching and tempering.
According to different purposes, choose different processing methods, such as heavy sword, which is naturally based on hardness, while software is soft, and guns are different, requiring both rigidity and softness, which may involve several processing methods, the complexity of which can be clearly explained in three words.
It is the simplest step, but it is the most critical step, but all the magic weapons, an indispensable feature is that they are extremely sharp, sharpening iron like clay, and the difficulty of opening such a sharp weapon can be imagined.
As for the formation pattern and inlay, it is not something that Liu Wei'an can understand at present.
After understanding these things, Liu Wei'an was a little dumbfounded, he thought very simple before learning the "Casting Manual", learn today, practice tomorrow, and plan to build weapons the day after tomorrow, according to what is written above, when he became a foundry, it is estimated that archery has been completed, at that time, what do you want to do as a foundry?
The first purpose of learning casting is naturally to make money, but a more important reason is to create arrows for yourself, to create an arrow similar to a divine weapon, which can shoot the arrows of a gold-level master with one arrow. That was the original thought in his heart.
His face changed, and after thinking for a long time, he still sighed, take your time, take one step at a time, it is difficult to improve archery at present, although it is also difficult to cast, at least it is also a road, it is better than archery being confused.
If you say where there is the most ore, it is undoubtedly a blacksmith shop, but the blacksmith shop is not an announcement toilet, you can come if you want to, if you want to visit, you can, a copper plate for ten minutes, an hour is six copper plates, this price is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
Liu Wei'an paid 60 copper plates and stayed in the blacksmith shop for 10 hours, tungsten iron, black iron, white iron, purple yang iron, ant iron, ghost eye iron, and three-color iron......
Iron ore alone, there are dozens, the dozens of kinds here are the blacksmith shops, the real iron ore is about two hundred and eighty kinds, Stone City is located in the middle of nowhere, it is very rare to be able to collect dozens of kinds, the three-color iron is only the size of a fingernail, but the price is twice as high as the blue ice iron, Liu Wei'an's eyes are straight, the ghost eye iron ore is very weird, there is a pattern like a ghost eye on it, Liu Wei'an thought that this rare iron ore should be very expensive, but he didn't expect that it is not worth a few dollars, the ghost eye iron is useless, Or rather, there is no way to use it properly.
The blacksmith shop collected all kinds of ores for about 300 minutes, and Liu Wei'an's memory became very good at some point, and he easily wrote down the colors, attributes, and characteristics of more than 300 kinds of ores. In the evening, he did not leave, but paid 1,000 copper plates and hired a blacksmith to be a teacher to explain the knowledge of ore to him.
The blacksmith is dark-faced, although greedy for money, but very credit-worthy, as long as he collects money, his attitude towards doing things is still very serious, and his eloquence is average, but he is really rich in experience, and some of them are not, and he has talked about it for more than five hours, opening a new door for Liu Wei'an, and the world of ore is so rich.
Continue to give money and ask to watch the process of blacksmith striking iron, this time, the blacksmith hesitated a little, Liu Wei'an was not in a hurry, and kept increasing the chips, and when the price reached 5000 copper plates, the blacksmith finally nodded.
Almost ten o'clock in the morning, the blacksmith completed his work, a dagger, although it is a tabula rasa, when Liu Wei'an looked at it, his eyes were very hot, this was the first time he watched the manufacture of weapons at such a close distance, it was of great significance, the value of the money, the text description of the book was too pale, far less vivid and memorable than a blacksmith with decades of experience in person.
When he walked out of the blacksmith shop, Liu Wei'an already had a preliminary understanding of the blacksmithing industry, and he would no longer be as dazed and overwhelmed as before. He didn't sleep all night, he was still in good spirits, and the blacksmith who was tired for half a night was also energetic.
"Looks like this is the person!" A few people were holding a portrait and pointing at Liu Wei'an, their eyes scrutinizing and observing.
Several people were dressed as soldiers, about thirty meters away from Liu Wei'an, although they lowered their voices, Liu Wei'an's ears were not weak, and they could hear clearly.
"Hurry up, don't let others take the lead, that's 300,000 copper plates."
Liu Wei'an had just come out of the blacksmith shop, and he was still thinking about striking iron, although he heard the voice, he didn't have time to think about it, and suddenly there was a slight sound of breaking the air from behind, his face changed, and he dodged quickly, but he was still a step late, and the severe pain spread all over his body from behind, and a sharp arrow hit the back, which was only less than two centimeters away from the back of the heart, and several soldiers obviously also saw this scene, their faces changed, and they suddenly increased their speed, and the sword was unsheathed.
For a time, the murderous atmosphere filled the streets.
