Chapter 110: Hundred Steel
"Lord Yi traveled all over the world in the past, and must have known that among the eighteen weapons of the Oriental people, the gun ranks first, and is the king of a hundred soldiers, and the spear is mainly blocked, taken, and pierced, and there are more changes such as collapse, point, piercing, splitting, ringing, picking, dialing, etc., and the practice of spearmanship is definitely the most difficult of all weapons, and it has been said: Year boxing, moon stick, long practice of guns, you will know that the practice of spear is more difficult than boxing, stick method, etc., the difficulty is not only higher, a person wants to practice peerless marksmanship, a good gun is indispensable......"
Lord Yi frowned, the song list was too far.
"But the kid observed the gun in Lord Yi's hand, hehe, the whole gun head flickered with cold light, extremely sharp, and at a glance, he knew that it was made of fine steel, but Lord Yi didn't know the truth that it was easy to break, too rigid gun head, with the strength of the Snow Clan warriors, maybe only three or five strokes would be enough to collapse, not to mention how to use so many gun skills...... Isn't there a problem with the selection of materials for such a gun?"
"Hmph! Boy, how do you know that this spear head is a matter of material selection, and not that I deliberately refined it to be extremely hard in the process of refining?" Lord Yi asked with a dark face.
"Of course, the kid can give enough evidence, otherwise, he would not have said this. Lord Yi, can you lend the head of the gun to the kid for a look?"
Lord Yi snorted and threw it over.
Qu Shan stretched out his hand to catch it, played up and down, and suddenly the strength in his hand clicked, and the steel spear head was broken from it.
The strength revealed by breaking the steel with his bare hands suddenly surprised several people, and they secretly thought that although this kid was young, his strength was not low.
Ignoring the shock of several people, Qu Shan showed the broken wound and said, "I wonder what kind of material is the silver mixed in this spear head in addition to the color of steel?"
"It was a material that I brought back from the East when I traveled in the past, and it can ......increase the hardness of steel," Yi replied, but his eyes were a little shaken.
He suddenly realized that this material increased its hardness, but at the same time made the weapon too strong, and it was indeed not suitable for the powerful Snow Clan.
Single-mindedly seeking to be sharp and fierce, only to realize at this time that it seems to have gone into a misunderstanding.
He suddenly lowered his head, frowned, and sank into deep thought.
Qu Shan nodded secretly, and it is a fine tradition to be able to reflect on mistakes in time when they find them.
After a long time, Lord Yi raised his head, his eyes were no longer proud of his previous pride, and asked, "In that case, boy, do you have a solution?" If this material is not added to ordinary steel, the hardness of the weapon will not be able to meet the requirements of the Snow Clan warriors......
Qu Shan admired in his heart, Yi Daguo was extraordinary, and he was not ashamed to ask a young man without shame.
However, this is exactly what he wants to achieve, as long as the other party asks this question, helps him solve it, and then puts forward his own request, he must be embarrassed to refuse.
"Lord Yi, have you ever heard of Hundred Steel?" Qu Shan asked.
"I've never heard of steel, what kind of steel is it?"
Qu Shan said: "Hundred steel, as the name suggests, is steel made by repeatedly folding and forging ordinary steel, and thus deforming. This kind of steel can be made of ordinary steel, and after this method of forging, the steel retains its hardness while maintaining its toughness, and it is the best choice for making various weapons. Moreover, even with the addition of this silver material used by Lord Yi, this method is still effective......"
"Oh?" said Master Yi's face, "How do you fold and forge repeatedly?"
Qu Shan smiled slightly: "Borrow Lord Yi's iron-striking utensils for use." ”
Without waiting for an answer, he walked to the iron-making furnace, pulled the bellows several times, blew the fire vigorously, and threw the piece of iron billet that Master Yi threw back into the furnace, calcined it for a while, and when the iron billet became red and had a tendency to melt, he suddenly took it out, picked up the big iron hammer next to him and smashed it violently, and smashed it into a thin piece of iron sheet.
The sheet folds the sheet in half from the middle and continues to hammer it three times until the billet has hardened a little, and then throws it back into the furnace.
After a while, he took out the hammer again.
When it was taken out of the furnace for the third time and hammered nine times, Qu Shan placed the iron billet on the table and said: " This is the nine-fold method, Lord Yi's steel has added special materials, it is already the limit to be able to fold nine times, don't underestimate these nine folding, at this time, the iron billet has contained 512 layers of iron sheet tissue, this kind of steel composed of fine and dense folding tissue, not only sharp and fierce without reducing a cent, but also the toughness has increased dozens of times, if this steel is used to make weapons, what is its power, Lord Yi should be able to guess it......"
At this time, Master Yi, Li Su and the young man who was doing miscellaneous work, the three of them had already been attracted by Qu Dan's dazzling iron-striking techniques, and they were stunned to watch Qu Shan as if performing the iron-striking process, and they didn't move for a long time.
It wasn't until Qu Shan asked that Master Yi came back to his senses, he personally moved down to the ground, moved to the front of the case of the iron billet, carefully observed the iron billet, I don't know how long it took, and suddenly sighed: "It turns out that steel can be refined like this......"
This sigh expressed the hearts of the three people in the audience.
Lord Yi's smelting technique was learned from the Eastern Holy Clan, and even the Oriental people had never mastered the steel-making technique, how could they understand it?
Qu Dan's hand had completely shocked them.
After the iron billet cooled, Master Yi took the iron billet in his hand and continued to observe, looking at the fine texture on the appearance, he had to admire the person in front of him. The other party's comprehension of the way of smelting is really not below him, no, it must be above himself! After spending more than 20 years of painstaking immersion, he is not as ignorant as a teenager of more than ten years.
After a while, Lord Yi suddenly raised his head and said: "Little brother's method of refining steel is indeed to solve the problem between the fierceness and toughness of weapons, I have traveled the world for decades, but I have never heard of it, I don't know where this method comes from?"
Qu Shan smiled and said, "Lord Yi, what do you think is the difficulty of this smelting technique?"
Master Yi frowned and thought for a moment, and replied: "Extremely difficult! Ordinary smelting masters, it is extremely difficult to hammer a piece of pig iron into the desired shape and achieve uniform texture, not to mention this method of folding nine times in a row, if you want to master the heat in it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to ascend to the sky." ”
Qu Shan nodded and said: "That's true, although the method of 100 steels is effective, it is extremely difficult to practice, and the scope of circulation is extremely narrow, and the kid also learned this method unintentionally." "I added a sentence in my heart, of course, the scope of circulation is narrow, at least in this world, you are the second to know, and the first is me.
Lord Yi nodded thoughtfully, and said, "I see." He then asked: "Even so, the little brother will not reveal such a precious smelting technique for no reason, right, could it be that he has something else to ask for someone in Yi?"
Master Yi suddenly laughed: "Aren't you afraid that after I learned this method of steelmaking, I will suddenly turn my face?"
