Chapter 30: The Little Hammer of the Cross
The chief of the big security guard bowed his head and said: "I asked Bao Ding to mend the knife before asking seven or eight barbarians, and the answers I got were all the same. It is said that the hundred households actually woke up when they subdued a snowstorm bear that suddenly went crazy on the way south, and the realm was not stable. This is also a blessing in misfortune for us, otherwise....... I really don't know how to explain to the guerrilla generals!"
The two chatted a few more words, and the chief said, "If there is anything that needs to be done for you, just say it!"
"Then please ask the chief to prepare two northland horses for me, and I will rush to Whitehorse after lunch. Wu Xing said a word, and when he saw the expression of the chief who wanted to speak and stopped, he said again: "I was just exhausted last night, and now I have recovered." Three or five barbarians is no longer a fear for me. If I encounter an army of barbarians, I will naturally take a detour. Besides, I know the terrain around Whitehorse Town, so I can't lose myself. So, there's no need to worry about kids. ”
After all, the chief of the Great Security was born in the army, and he knew that this place was still in Longxi County after all, and the military situation of the barbarian invasion across the Great Wall should have been rushed to the capital for 800 miles, and at this time, the reinforcements from the nearby counties might already be on the way, so he agreed, and left first on the grounds of inspecting the defense of the village.
Wu Xing briefly checked the injury on his left arm and found that it had improved a lot, at least it would not have much impact on his movements.
"Since this chief security officer asked you for instructions in public at that time, but later did not jump out to stop you from killing the prisoner, he was selfish, and he had already thought about making you guilty, and he also said that the merits were offset by the merits, and what the first merit and the second merit were. Now that your credit has been shared by his disciples, and Du Baozheng and Du Baozheng have both been captured, then whose credit is for retreating from the enemy, beheading, and capture, does it need to be said?
"However, in a critical situation, I still used the Eight-Star Serial Wave Fist, which ....... Will it have any negative impact on me? After all, you advised me not to go more than five stars. Wu Xing didn't dwell on the question of merit, and asked instead.
"If you've completed the first awakening of the martial star, everything makes sense. Wentian smiled and said, "You should know better about this, right?"
Wu Xing shook his head with a smile, raised his right hand, and said, "Yes, although the process is a bit dangerous, I should be the one who benefits the most, right?"
At the beginning, in order to persuade Wu Xing to give up ascending to the Star God Temple in the Penglai Realm to complete the trial, Wen Tian was rewarded with the lost Nine Star Serial Wave Fist Technique. Now, the star lit up by Wu Xing's right hand is the Nine Stars Chain!
Wu Xing's palm was upward, and a delicate small hammer appeared above the palm. The appearance of the Star Hammer is a sign of Wu Xing's initial awakening! This is also the reason why the Martial Qu Xingjun examiner wanted Wu Xing to show the Star Hammer in front of the students, and the latter was hindered by the swear between him and Wen Tian and deduced that the Star Hammer was "in an unstable state".
However, Wu Xing's small hammer is obviously different from the ordinary hammer in his imagination. The handle of the hammer is still one, and the whole is about the length of an arm, but there are two hammer faces, and the two hammer faces intersect to form a "ten" figure, one of which has a square hammer head and a semi-circular ball hammer head, while the other hammer surface has a chisel and a "crescent shovel".
Wen Tian explained: "Because your Stacking Wave Fist Technique has reached the Nine Star Chain, which belongs to the Great Perfection realm of the Exercises, there will be a large enough iron billet. Of course, the billet can only be seen by yourself, not by outsiders. In addition, since it was the first iron billet, it could only be forged with a small hammer. The sledgehammer can only be activated after you have the first piece of armor, as the sledgehammer is the piece of armor. Comparatively, a small hammer is more difficult to handle than a large hammer. ”
When Wu Xing heard this, he was anxious, and he didn't bother to look at the small hammer that he couldn't handle, and said, "You just said that the small hammer is more difficult to control than the big hammer...... Originally, the sledgehammer needed 9981 hammers to improve the quality of the iron billet by one level, from the iron billet to the 'fine iron'. How long does that little hammer have to be hammered to get a piece of 'fine iron', not to mention the higher grades of 'Hundred Steel' and 'Dark Iron'. ”
Wen Tian laughed and explained: "A small hammer is more difficult to control than a large hammer, referring to the ever-changing degree of delicacy, not pure strength. If it is a simple hammer forging, compared to a hammer of a large hammer, a small hammer can swing at least a dozen hammers in the same time. However, in addition to the size of the hammer, the mental power also has to control the iron billet, or quenching, or forging, among which the 'conversion' between the small hammer and the sledgehammer will have some variables that vary from person to person, maybe a big hammer can top a dozen small hammers, or a big hammer is only equivalent to a few small hammers. ”
"For example, the Wuqu Xingjun under the Seven Stars Chain, including the Seven Stars Chain, has only one hammer face, usually a square hammer head on one side and a semi-circular hammer head on the other side; The function of the square hammer head is to make the iron billet flat, while the semi-circular ball hammer head is mainly used for specific forging and forming, which is actually equivalent to the 'spherical iron pier' base in the blacksmith shop in order to facilitate the creation of various styles of iron. In the whole quenching and forging process, with the gradual formation of the iron billet, in fact, the center of gravity of the iron billet is also changing. Especially in the forging process, the center of gravity will change slightly under almost every hammer, so the control of the iron billet by mental power is no less than that of a small hammer. ”
"And when it comes to the eight-star chain, there can be an extra hammer head, which is the hammer head that is similar to the 'crescent shovel', and then to the nine-star chain, the fourth hammer head similar to a chisel can appear. ”
Wu Xing scratched his head, let the small hammer rotate two or three times above the palm of his hand, and wondered: "Since it is equivalent to the base of the 'spherical iron pier'....... A square hammer head and a semi-circular hammer head should be enough, right? Why do I have an extra hammer with two hammer heads in this little hammer?"
Wen Tian sneered and asked rhetorically: "How do you think different armor pieces are connected together? Strictly speaking, armor is no different from a whole set of real armor! If the armor is not connected well, it will cause the star armor to deteriorate! In serious cases, it will even lead to a degrading!"
"A square hammer head and a semi-circular hammer head can usually only be made into plate armor. If it's just fist gauntlets, arm guards, shin guards or cuirass, square hammerheads and semi-circular hammerheads will still be sufficient. However, the star armor is a martial art star monarch based on plate armor, and it is all a grade under the star envoy!"
Wentian seemed to be annoyed by Wu Xing's stupid question, and unconsciously accelerated the speed of his speech, and said eloquently: "First of all, let's talk about the 'chain mail', which is generally made of iron wire or iron ring buckle into a garment, each ring and the other four rings are buckled, shaped like a net lock, and the small iron ring is set together, forming a 'long coat' with a hood, which can effectively protect the attack of sharp weapons such as swords, guns and spears, and the main role is the defense of the bow and crossbow." But if heavy weapons such as meteor hammers and maces are smashed down, the chain mail will fail. You can get an idea of how to change the chain mail to star armor, and the crossbow, meteor hammer, and mace to star soldiers. 'Chain mail' is a type of star armor that is more commonly used among star envoys. ”
"Then let's talk about 'Fish Scale Armor'. The rope that braids the nail piece is hidden under the nail plate, which minimizes the possibility of being cut by a sharp object. The armor can be retracted, and the overlapping armor pieces are superimposed again, and the overall protection thickness can be adjusted with the bending degree at will. Under the blow of a blunt weapon from the front, the armor group is not a loose individual, but a whole like plate armor, and on the point surface, against such a sharp weapon as a bow and arrow spear, the hard and inclined armor surface can make the tip of the arrow gun pass by, and the overall protection is very high. The protective function of the fish scale armor is completely different when it is unfolded and when it is contracted. When unfolded, only four pieces of armor are superimposed, and when contracted with human activity, the thickness of the stack is as high as eight to ten pieces. In addition to the function of shrinking and superimposing to increase the thickness of the armor, under frontal hammering, it also has the advantage of plate armor. 'Fish Scale Armor' is usually the Star Armor that the Star Venerable has always chosen to create!"
"Finally, let's talk about 'Shanwenjia'. As the name suggests, the mountain armor is a nail piece shaped like the word 'mountain'. The method is very unique, it is called the 'wrong method', that is, the nail piece bites each other into a nail by biting each other. If the nail piece is made in a delicate and uniform manner, it does not even need a nail nail or a strand of silk thread to make a full armor. The star armor worn by Qin Xiaotian, a first-grade martial star back then, was exactly a set of 'Mountain Wen Armor'!"
"Now, then, you should tell me that a square hammer head and a semi-circular hammer head are enough?"
Wu Xing ignored the banter in Wen Tian's words, but looked at the small hammer in his right hand, and said thoughtfully: "If the Eight Stars are in a row, what is extra is the 'Crescent Shovel', is it a ring used to cut off the flakes of iron billets and forge them into chain mail, or is it a 'rope' used to decorate the pieces of fish scale armor.......? Among the three grades of iron billets, is it for this purpose?!"
"In this way, the 'fine iron' grade corresponds to the plate armor, and the 'dark iron' grade corresponds to the fish scale armor piece or the mountain armor piece?!"
