Chapter 22: The Sword
100 forgings!
The secret method of the Zhou family!
To put it bluntly, it's very simple.
But there are very few people who do it, because the hundred forging method has high requirements for both people and steel.
The first step is to build a mold!
In the second step, the molten iron is melted and poured into the mold.
The third step is to beat it repeatedly with a hammer.
The Zhou family's hammer is not an ordinary hammer.
The hammer of the Zhou family is demanding.
There were ten hammers in total, ranging from twenty catties to two hundred catties.
There is also a secret method for hammering.
This is also the core of the Zhou family's forging technique, if you see the Zhou family using their own hammer method to strike iron, you will be shocked.
The sound of hammers hitting iron tools is like an old piece of music, and it is very charming.
It makes people involuntarily immerse themselves in it.
The ancestors of the Zhou family only knew how to beat according to the secret method handed down by the family, but he had studied the family's hammer method, why did it have such an effect?
As a result of the final research, the family's hammer method can form a resonance after being struck together, which can effectively remove impurities from the steel.
Then there is the fusion of steel and the increase of the density of steel.
There are also different properties between the same piece of steel.
The secret method of the Zhou family can make the texture characteristics of the steel well connected and integrated.
If it's just for people to watch, even if he remembers every action, it doesn't help.
It is not fixed.
Rather, it is based on the characteristics of the material and the nodes of the material properties, which requires vision and experience.
The force of each hammer is just right.
There is something else in the seemingly random beating.
Of course, the ancestors of the Zhou family also knew what was going on, so no one had ever been able to reach the level of being a general.
Zhou Shan researched the reason for the frequency, so his hundred forging method can reach eight forging, not that he can't improve, but his physical strength can't keep up.
Ten forging is considered a stage, using a twenty-pound hammer, the next stage is a forty-pound hammer, and the next stage is a sixty-pound hammer..........
And so on!
In the end, a 200-pound hammer was used.
What was the concept of 200 catties before the great change of heaven and earth?
The weightlifting champion can also be lifted, and ordinary people want to play at will?
How can it be?
Although the hammer method of forging is the same at each stage, the texture of the material is different, so the hammer method seems to be the same, but in fact there is a huge difference.
Hundred forging!
After each forging is completed, it needs to be re-melted and added with a sufficient amount of steel to continue the forging, so how hard will the material become after forging and forging?
The hammer method is only dozens of hammers, but with the higher the number of forgings, the longer it takes to build, and if the building is interrupted in the middle, the steel will become very brittle, and this forging can only be done again.
This is also the reason why Zhou Shan can only do eight forgings.
Physical!
This is what restricts him.
In fact, there is another reason, and that is the material!
According to the words handed down by the ancestors, the cadre Mo Ye was forged from meteorites outside the sky.
Its sharpness, cutting gold and breaking iron is like cutting vegetables, and the tall boulder can also be broken with a sword.
It is also limited by the materials that after the cadre Mo Ye Shuangjian, there is no hundred forging swords, not to mention the hundred forging, and the ten forging weapons are very rare.
...................
What Zhou Shan wants to build is a knife.
Tang knife is not good!
For him, the Tang knife was a little too light, and although it was flexible, it was not suitable for him.
Even if the thick-backed knife is built, the weight is a bit light! As his strength grows, the sharpness and weight of the weapon must be required, otherwise it will not be able to break through the defense of the fierce beast at all.
After thinking about it for a long time, what he wanted to create was the style of the 'Dragon Slayer' in the online game legend.
However, the mold he made was also different from the dragon slaying knife, which was twenty centimeters longer than the dragon slaying knife.
This makes the length of the entire knife reach 1.7 meters.
Thick back!
Blade width!
Long handle!
The top seems to be broken!
This is the Dragon Slayer Knife.
According to Zhou Shan's calculations, only such a knife met his requirements.
His requirements are actually very simple, weight and sharpness!
The weight is about 200 catties.
Next to him was a bowl with a bowl of white powder.
The powder was as clear as jade, as if there was a light flickering.
The bowl of powder was ground from half of the boar's fangs, and he was going to try it in steel.
I don't know if it can be done.
But he didn't care, so what about failure?
The inspiration for adding the beast material came from some novels, but this ratio required him to experiment little by little.
Two hundred catties of steel were poured into the mold.
After a while, Zhou Shan put the steel that was still glowing red on the workbench and began to beat it.
Bite.... Bite...... Bite...... While...... While..... While........
A crisp sound began to echo throughout the Qingshan community, and everyone who heard this voice looked in a trance, as if they had returned to Qingshan Village again.
The sound of striking iron has been with them for decades, and they are in a lot of energy when they hear this sound.
Many people came to Zhou Shan's house.
Seeing Zhou Shan smashing the hammer on the steel one by one, the red iron flowers were everywhere, which made their hearts settle down inexplicably.
It's as if I'm still living in my hometown at this time.
It's just that no one has entered Zhou Shan's yard, and for many years, the people in Qingshan Village have been a little difficult to face Zhou Shan's family.
Three hours!
For three hours, unless the steel needed to be heated, Zhou Shan kept holding the hammer and never stopped.
In the past, after three hours of hammering, he had no strength in his body, and he needed to rest for two days before he could carry out the next forging when his spirit reached a full state, and it would normally take a month for a sword.
This is also a drawback of the Zhou family's secret method, which requires the consumption of essence and energy, and every forging is the same as being sick.
This time it's different!
The mutation of his body and the mutation of his mind made him not feel much tired at this time.
It seems that there is still inexhaustible strength in his body, and his spirit has not been weakened because of long-term concentration.
Two hundred catties of steel, after his forging, there are still one hundred and eighty catties left, and almost twenty catties of impurities are discharged.
If other blacksmiths knew, they would probably be speechless in surprise.
Twenty pounds of impurities forged by hand hammer?
It's incredible.
This also proves the strength of the Zhou family's forging secret method.
Not even modern machines can do this.
Keep forging it!
Melted the rest of the steel again, melted it again into twenty pounds of steel, a pinch of powder from the boar's fangs, and poured it into the mold after he was completely stirred.
Keep pounding!
Three hours passed again......
Ten pounds of impurities were discharged this time!
Keep melting the steel!
Build!
.............
By the time he finished building for the third time, it was already midnight, and he had spent most of the twelve hours of the day building.
By this time, his spirit was already exhausted.
Even the flesh has reached its limit.
Normally, at this time, Zhou Shan needs to rest for a few days to recover.
Behold!
The next day, not only was his body fully restored, but his spirit was also fully restored.
It even seems that the spiritual power has increased.
Although the perception range has only increased by a few tens of centimeters, it has indeed increased, you must know that since he woke up, except for the cell strengthening and the rebound of yesterday's revenge spiritual power, the perception power has never increased automatically.
Wrong!
Suddenly, Zhou Shan was stunned!
"One, scan the body!"
A pillar of blue light shot from the watch onto Zhou Shan's body.
After about two seconds, the light faded.
Drip!Drip......
Cell viability 100%
Strength 1330 kg!
Number of cells 1
Brain cell activity 1.5
Looking at the data on the screen, Zhou Shan fell into deep thought.
For a moment, a hint of clarity flashed in Zhou Shan's eyes.
Yesterday the mental power was used up, and the physical power was also used up......
After using up, filling, this process is the same as exercising, the body cells are squeezed dry, and then recovered, naturally, the physical strength and mental strength are all increased, the only difference from the past is that now the air contains active substances, and there is the blood and nutrients needed by the flesh and blood of the beast to replenish the cells, so this increase is beyond imagination.
Of course, this growth is his, after all, he himself has ten times the number of cells of others.
And this is the first time that he has completely used up his physical strength and mental strength, so he will feel so obvious, and I am afraid it will be a water mill in the future.
Exercise day by day, slow growth.
During the exercise, a large amount of flesh and blood of the fierce beast will be fed, so that the body will not lose money and gradually become stronger.
Now that the body is recovered, go ahead!
The activity of brain cells was added by him later, and this data can show the strength of mental strength.
The next day, spent in the build!
The third day was also spent in the build!
Day 4, keep building!
Every day, the physical strength and mental strength are all consumed before stopping, and the mental strength and physical strength are also increasing, but it is not obvious.
Ten kilograms a day!
In history, the ancestor of the Zhou family was the strongest, and he only forged ten forging weapons.
Zhou Shan's knife has reached twelve forgings.
surpassed the best results of the ancestors of the Zhou family.
It should be said that in the past, because of the material limitation, it could only reach ten forgings, but the reason why it has reached twelve forgings now is that Zhou Shan is estimated to have something to do with the powder added to the fangs of the fierce beast.
The Twelve Forgings have not yet reached their limit.
On the third day, Zhou Shan had already replaced the forty-pound hammer, otherwise the hammer would not move the blade at all.
This is different from what our ancestors recorded.
But the heavens and the earth have changed dramatically, and he has added the powder of the fangs of the fierce beast, and it is normal to have differences.
Day 5, keep building!
When all three forges are completed, no more impurities come out, and the fusion of steel textures has reached the extreme that can be achieved now.
If you continue to build it, the toughness of this steel will disappear and it will become very fragile.
It's just a feeling, but it's something that has been mastered over many years of forging.
Even in order to grasp this feeling, Zhou Shan did not forge a finished product for almost a year.
Zhou Shan carved a small sword on the knife, and under the small sword was the word 'chop'.
The small sword is the symbol of the forging of the Zhou family, and 'chopping' is the name he gave to the knife.
Only then does the final process, 'quenching', take place.
Zhou Shan's heart moved, and a water tank appeared in front of him, and the water tank was the blood of the wild boar beast.
Looking at the water tank, Zhou Shan pondered for a moment, picked up the thick-backed knife in the corner and swiped it at his wrist, and suddenly a stream of blood flowed down his wrist into the water tank.
After a while, the wound on the wrist began to contract, and in a moment the wound was only a red line.
As the cells increase in strength and multiply, the resilience becomes very terrifying.
He joined his own blood because he suddenly remembered a legend 'Weapon Psychic!'
Zhou Shan knew it was a legend, but he was willing to try, the world has become like this, what else can't happen?
Multiply....... Multiply........ Multiply.......
After the giant knife was put into the water tank, a burst of white mist suddenly burst out, and when the white mist disappeared and the giant knife cooled down, Zhou Shan took the giant knife out of the water tank.
Take a closer look at the giant knife.
The blade was dark, but there was a faint light flickering, and in such a ghostly light, a trace of red light was mixed in it.
After quenching, the giant knife has become different from just now, if the giant knife was a grass chicken just now, now it has transformed into a phoenix.
Swinging the giant knife in his hand, he slashed at the thick-backed knife next to him.
Wow.....
Barely feeling any obstruction, the thick-backed knife disconnected from the middle.
Pick up the broken thick-backed knife, and the incision is very neat, as if it has been polished.
Call!
Knife into it!
At this point, Zhou Shan breathed a sigh of relief.
