Chapter 399: Marnes's Shock
If you want to cast a good quality sword, you must quench this process, quenching is to improve the hardness of the material, and tempering is to reduce the brittleness of the material, of course, in order to improve the performance of some materials, you can also add normalizing and щЩш.. 1a
There are many ways to quench, the common ones are water-cooled quenching, oil-cooled quenching, and air-cooled quenching, among which oil-cooled quenching or water-cooled quenching is an indispensable process when casting weapons in ancient times.
The hardness of the water-cooled quenched sword is higher, but the toughness decreases significantly, as long as it is bent to a certain extent, or the force of the shock is too large, it may break into two.
The hardness of oil-cooled quenched swords is lower than that of water-cooled quenched swords, but its toughness is higher than that of water-cooled quenched swords.
The casting technology of the vast continent is relatively backward, and Wu Liang, who didn't want to be too amazing and temporarily incarnated as a mortal, chose to use the ancient forging technique to refine a human-level high-grade long sword.
The longsword, which burned red, sank into the solid animal oil, and bursts of sizzling sounds sounded, wisps of white smoke dispersed with the wind, and the smell of oil smoke spread in the air.
Picking up the hilt of the long sword with his left hand, Wu Liang flicked his fingers with his right hand, and a crisp sound sounded, and with a twist of the wrist, the spine of the sword was facing down, and he smashed it hard towards the forging platform, only to hear the sound of the bell.
The long sword bent and rebounded, quickly regaining its straightness, and with a twist of the wrist, the blade of the sword was facing downward, and it slashed at an iron rod used to test the weapon, and an iron rod with a diameter of about one centimeter broke in response.
"Master Wu, the quality of this long sword is at least human-level and top-grade!" Cole exclaimed.
"Hmm." Wu Liang nodded expressionlessly, and said secretly in his heart: "The quality of the oil is good, I originally only wanted to refine a human-level top-grade, but I went to get a human-grade top-grade." ”
"Master Wu, the boss is still outside, shall we go out first?" Cole asked.
"Okay." Wu Liang replied indifferently.
"Master Wu, I'll help you get it." Cole said with a smile.
"Okay." Wu Liang said with words like gold, and after speaking, he handed over the long sword in his hand.
The two of them walked out of the forge and came to the hall outside, where night had already fallen, and Marnes, the owner of the Sharp Blacksmith Shop, was sitting by an oil lamp, drinking sip after sip of wine.
"Boss, look at it, this is the long sword forged by Master Wu." Cole walked over briskly, his sword in both hands.
"Master Wu, please sit down, I'll try the long sword." Marnes said enthusiastically, holding the long sword in both hands, looking at it again and again, nodding with satisfaction from time to time, and muttering praise from time to time.
A flat blade, a smooth hilt, and an incomparably sharp blade are nothing, and as long as you have the heart and time to get them, at least eight of the ten casters can do it.
He is the owner of the sharp blacksmith shop, and he is also a second-order foundry, with his ability, he is enough to cast human-level mid-grade fighting equipment, and his eyesight is naturally extraordinary, after seeing the appearance of the long sword, he took down a human-level low-grade long sword.
Holding a long sword cast by Wu Liang in his right hand and a long sword forged by himself in his left hand, with a wave of both hands, the long sword taken down from the shelf was broken by the long sword forged by himself.
Seeing the long sword cast by Master Wu, its tenacity was not damaged in the slightest, Marnes was shocked, and took down a human-level medium-grade long sword, and the two swords struck each other, and the human-level medium-grade long sword was broken in two.
Since there was no high-grade longsword, Marnes could not continue the test, and cut off two long-sword in succession, and the blade was not damaged at all, which proved that the longsword in his hand was almost comparable to the low-grade of the earth.
"The toughness and strength of this long sword have almost reached the lower grade of the ground level, it is just a material for forging human-level weapons, but it can make the performance of the ground level weapon, if it is not for the weaker amplitude of the fighting spirit, this long sword is the lower grade of the ground level."
Surprised and amazed in his heart, Marnes said with a smile: "Master Wu, welcome to join the sharp blacksmith shop, I don't know what requirements you have for wages?" ”
Human-level low-grade equipment, half of the amplitude of the fighting spirit, human-level medium-grade equipment, one percent of the amplitude of the fighting spirit, human-level high-grade equipment, one and a half percent of the amplitude of the fighting spirit, human-level top-grade equipment, two percent of the amplitude of the fighting spirit.
Ground-level low-grade equipment, the amplitude of the fighting spirit is forty percent, the prefecture-level medium-grade equipment, the amplitude of the fighting spirit is sixty percent, the prefecture-level high-grade equipment, the amplitude of the fighting spirit is eighty percent, and the prefecture-level top-grade equipment is doubled the amplitude of the fighting spirit.
Heaven-level low-grade equipment, the amplitude of the fighting spirit is twice that of the heaven-level medium-grade equipment, the amplitude of the fighting spirit is three times, the heaven-level high-grade equipment, the amplitude of the fighting spirit is four times, and the heaven-level top-grade equipment is as high as five times the amplitude of the fighting spirit.
"It's up to you." Wu Liang said indifferently.
"A first-order caster, thirty gold coins per month, a second-order caster, three hundred gold coins per month, it stands to reason that Master Wu is a third-order caster, including food and shelter, three thousand gold coins per month, okay?" Marnes asked.
"Okay." Wu Liang replied with a smile.
"Master Wu, do you have any objections to casting a human-level high-grade long sword every day?" Marnes asked again.
"Otherwise, I will forge thirty human-grade longswords for the sharp blacksmith shop every month." Wu Liang said.
A human-level high-grade long sword every day, thirty days a month, or only thirty human-level high-grade long swords a month, seems to have the same number of casting, but in fact, there are many differences between the two.
If you forge a few long swords a day, you can get a quantity of thirty in just a few days, and the remaining twenty-four days are free time, and if you only cast one sword a day, you have to work every day.
"That's fine." Marnes pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Cole, go buy some cooked food, buy some wine, I want to have a few drinks with Master Wu." Marnes boldly took out ten gold coins and said in high spirits.
"Yes, boss." Cole nodded in agreement and walked briskly outside.
One amethyst coin is equal to one hundred gold coins, one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to ten copper coins.
"Master Wu, on the second floor of the blacksmith shop, there is still a vacant room, if you are not satisfied, I will rent you another house outside." Marnes said expectantly. Such a powerful foundry, he didn't want the other party to leave.
"I'll live upstairs from the blacksmith shop." Wu Liang said casually, a place to live temporarily, there is no need to pick and choose, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he will leave the blacksmith shop for some reason.
A few minutes later, Cole returned with food and drinks, and the three of them were talking and laughing and drinking and eating......
Hearing the sound of tinkling iron, Wu Liang turned over, washed his face with cold water, he walked into the warehouse, took some materials, and then walked into the forging room, lit a fire and forged it alone.
The task of thirty swords a month, he wanted to complete it as soon as possible.
