Chapter 6: The First Taste of Forging
The next morning
Yun Fei came to Ruth's blacksmith shop early, "Succeeded?" "It's done", Ruth touched his mustache and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Ruth pulled out a slightly worn book from a pile of scrap metal, which was very thin and in sharp contrast to Yunfei's soul cultivation books.
"This is "Forging Technique", there are many basic contents in it, and there are many things to pay attention to, you don't need to watch it, you just need to use the aura to absorb it. ”
Yun Fei did so, and a lot of words appeared in his mind, diamond is suitable for polishing weapons of one to two grades, and it is easy to obtain, and the raw materials of the first to three grades of Xuantie are suitable for...
Mo about half an hour later, Yun Fei nodded, and Ruth nodded with satisfaction, "It took me nearly an hour to digest this book, but I didn't expect you to be only half an hour, but the rapid absorption of basic theoretical knowledge does not mean that you will actually operate it." ”
Ruth suddenly had a fist-sized piece of black iron in his hand, "trying to melt the black iron into molten iron", and suddenly threw it over.
After the cultivation of the soul and the improvement of cultivation, it was only in a very short time to judge the inside of the Xuantie, which was solid and of high quality.
Trying to use his own flame to quench, the time of a cup of tea Xuantie did not change at all, if it weren't for the fact that Xuantie had a little heat and the consumption of spiritual power, Yunfei even suspected that something was wrong.
"Hahaha, I forgot to tell you, the melting point of dark iron is six thousand degrees, and the general flame is not more than one thousand degrees, and the fire attribute spirit will not exceed two thousand" Ruth looked at his apprentice and was a little proud.
"Ga, that means that with my current cultivation, I can't even melt the dark iron?" Yun Fei was a little confused, "Don't worry, there is no forging furnace here" said Ruth and pointed to the forging furnace on Yun Fei's right hand.
The role of the forging furnace is to increase the temperature of the flame, the first product corresponds to ten times the temperature, and the second product corresponds to a hundred times the temperature, and the third product is a thousand times the temperature.
It is said that there was once a strong Lingjun who offended the five-grade forging master, and as a result, the five-grade forging master, using the five-grade forging furnace, was burned alive with just ordinary flames, and no one dared to offend the forging master easily from then on.
"This is a second-grade forging furnace, for you only need to guide the flame, but don't raise the temperature too high, otherwise it will vaporize. Ruth said
Yun Fei carefully looked at the forging furnace, the overall elliptical shape, a total of three mouths about one, the largest in the middle, according to the "Forging Technique", the left and right furnaces can be operated by two people, or one person, because forging is very patient and also consumes spiritual power, so it often takes two or even more people to maintain the temperature for forging.
And the middle is naturally a place to place various forging materials, it is said that the forging furnace after the third grade will change its form freely due to the size of the material, but for the forging master below the third grade, such a large forging furnace is enough, Yun Fei put in his giant sword and found that there is still a lot of space
In just a few breaths, the originally strong and heavy dark iron turned into a pool of molten iron, "Quick, I'll help you control the fire, you hurry up and find a mold." Saying that, Ruth hurriedly took over Yunfei, and the molten iron that was about to solidify boiled again.
"What is the best choice", it is said that there are tens of thousands of types of light weapons in this continent, although there are only a hundred kinds of molds in the blacksmith shop, but it still makes Yun Fei think a little hard.
The giant sword he is currently holding is stronger than the dark iron, but it is more than a star and a half. Knives and axes? I am not good at this kind of weapon at all.
"Yes", Yun Fei only glanced at it a few times and found his target, this is it, and immediately Yun Fei took a fancy to a small dagger.
Immediately, Yunfei opened the mold and walked quickly, and when Ruth saw this, he immediately poured the boiling molten iron into it, hissing. "Yunfei, you continue to hold the flame to heat, and then use the forging hammer to polish him. With that, Ruth took the forging hammer and gave it to Yunfei.
Yun Fei looked at the hammer, the length of half an arm, the hammer head was made of unknown materials, and there was a small magic array above the hammer that emitted this burst of aura, and it was written that Lu Ye represented the identity of the hammer's owner.
Yun Fei learned from "Forging Technique" that the forging hammer is an important identity for judging the rank of the forging master, and the person who can carry the forging hammer anywhere in the empire is a status symbol no matter where he is.
The molten iron slowly solidified and became lumpy, and was stressed on both sides of the forging hammer, and after a while, the forging hammer became flattened and tapered, and the bell bell ~~ Yun Fei beat quickly and continuously, until Ruth called a stop, and Yun Fei finally stopped.
The third step of polishing is familiar to Yunfei, usually whether it is hunting or maintenance, it needs to be polished, which can keep the weapon sharp, and at the same time ensure that the weapon is not easy to rust.
After a while, the polishing was completed, and then according to Ruth's guidance, Yunfei put the weapon into a thousand-degree flame for quenching.
Halfway through, Yunfei and Ruth jointly designed the handle of the dagger, and then Yunfei meditated for a while, until he found that the dagger knife turned red again, took it out, put it in the water, and tore it. The bucket was filled with water vapor, but only a moment later, it was picked up and the final and most critical step of the forging began: polishing.
In addition to the scarcity of materials and the long time, the biggest reason is the failure of the polishing process, if the previous processes are all to make the body of the sword, then the polishing is undoubtedly to inject the soul, so once the polishing fails, it is impossible to rebuild the furnace.
Nervous, this is Yun Fei's only thought, his palms are sweating, even if he encounters a second-order spirit monkey like this, he is close to the edge of death, he has never been so nervous.
Yun Fei picked up the polishing knife and gently slashed across the blade, the outer layer and the inner layer of metal had already been separated, but Yun Fei didn't dare to be careless at all, and the high concentration also made Yun Fei a little dizzy when he was half separated.
"Relax" Ruth seemed to notice Yun Fei's abnormality, and immediately put his hand on Yun Fei's shoulder, and a cool spiritual power was input into Yun Fei's body, and the dizziness disappeared in an instant.
Yunfei was not nervous, and in one go, the outer layer and the inner layer were peeled off, and as the outer layer fell off, the inner layer appeared.
"Do you need to mix some meteoric iron?" "It's the best", Yun Fei took out a small amount of meteorite slag from Ruth's hand, sprinkled it evenly on the blade of the dagger, and used the flames to successfully let the meteorite penetrate into it.
