Chapter Eighty-Eight: Refining
readx;? Xue Yi's finger swiped on the silver storage ring, and the originally empty room was immediately filled with a large pile of various items. In the center of the room www.biquge.info of course, was the newly bought Ding furnace, and around it, dozens of materials were densely stacked.
After hesitating for a moment, Xue Yi patted his sleeve, and then closed the blue light and flashed, and Xiaobi jumped on his shoulder lightly.
Looking at each other, Xue Yi nodded and said, "Spiritual isolation." ”
Xiao Bi also seemed to know the importance of Xue Yi's next work, nodded solemnly, and then his body shook, and an invisible fluctuation was released by Xiao Bi, instantly enveloping the entire room. This is another way of using mental power. In the area shrouded in spiritual power, the various fluctuations in the area are completely isolated from the outside world. When making his own "device", it is inevitable that sound or light and heat will be transmitted, and Xue Yi does this to avoid some unnecessary troubles.
After doing all this, Xue Yi put his mind at ease, clapped his hands, walked to the center of the room, and carefully looked at the crimson Ding furnace about one meter high. It is said that it is a ding furnace, but in fact, it is not a closed ding furnace of an alchemist, but a semi-closed ding furnace used by an alchemist. The opening of the furnace is on the side, and the bottom is supported by four bronze feet. This furnace is used to create the shell of the "vessel".
The basic chapter of the Yanshi's Secret Codex explains a lot of methods and techniques for crafting the shell of the Crafter, which at first glance looks like a blacksmith striking iron, but is much more elaborate than that. Xue Yi's grandfather was a carpenter, but he sometimes smelted and polished some metal parts next to the railway. Xue Yi was also beaten by his grandfather when he was a child, and sometimes he even got started himself, so he was no stranger to these. In addition, in the past few days, I have sometimes gone to the alchemy workshop of the Zhou Mansion and the blacksmith shop in the town to observe and learn, so I have initially mastered some methods of alchemy.
Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling it, Xue Yi confirmed that he had entered the best state before he walked to the Ding furnace with a solemn face and pressed his palm tightly against the wall of the Ding furnace.
"Hum-" With a soft sound, a faint golden light circulated under Xue Yi's skin, especially striking in the dimly lit room. The next moment, the room suddenly brightened, and the rich light attribute combat power was entered into the Ding Furnace by Xue Yi, and was transformed into a bright flame by a small magic circle inside the Ding Furnace, and the temperature in the room rose rapidly.
The palm of the hand left the furnace, but the flame in the furnace was still jumping, and there was no sign of extinguishing. This is because an invisible connection has been established between Xue Yi and Ding Lu, and the combat power in Xue Yi's body has been continuously injected into it. This kind of furnace used by alchemists naturally does not use ordinary wood or coal as fuel, and the temperature is too low to melt some metals with high melting points. Only by using combat power as fuel, especially the combat power of the three attributes of fire, wood, and light, can the flames it transform into can meet the requirements of alchemists. However, this kind of combat power consumption is not large, and with Xue Yi constantly absorbing the combat power in the air as a supplement, it is no problem to hold on for two or three hours.
Looking at the golden-red flames in the furnace, the muscles on Xue Yi's face slowly tightened. He knew his first attempt was about to begin. Slowing down his heartbeat and concentrating, Xue Yi grabbed a piece of silver metal the size of half a palm, and threw it into the raging fire.
This is the most ordinary piece of iron essence, which is used to shape the prototype of the inner circle of the magic crystal bomb. Iron Essence isn't too expensive, but it's extremely stable, making it a good base metal for inscribed circles. Xue Yi chose to smelt it first, also with the idea of warming up.
The iron essence was thrown into the flames, and the surface immediately flowed with golden-red molten iron, but the hard core inside did not melt immediately, but stubbornly fought against the temperature of the flames. Xue Yi frowned slightly, the goal was to smelt the iron essence into a red-hot state, so that it could be shaped, otherwise the hard metal would not be able to change shape at will.
As soon as the dantian in his body shook, the combat power output was immediately increased by several percent by Xue Yi, and the temperature in the furnace rose sharply. But before Xue Yi could rejoice, the piece of iron essence quickly melted into a liquid state in the high temperature, turning into a pool of silver molten iron.
Shaking his head, Xue Yi knew that he had failed. But he didn't stop at all, and stepped forward to dial a rocker on the Ding furnace, so that the molten iron at the bottom of the Ding furnace flowed into the stone jar he had prepared long ago along the opened metal channel, and then Xue Yi grabbed a piece of iron essence again and threw it into the furnace without hesitation.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, although the whole process of making the "instrument" has long been firmly imprinted in his mind, but details such as how to delicately control the temperature of the smelted metal still have to be explored by Xue Yi himself in practice. However, Xue Yi finally found his sense after failing three times in a row, and successfully smelted the fourth piece of iron essence into a red-hot state.
With the metal tongs carefully take out the red state of the iron essence, and then on the Ding furnace again, with the "click" sound, a small iron pier will pop out from the bottom of the Ding furnace, just outside the furnace mouth, so that the heat in the furnace is fully conducted, so that the iron pier is always kept in a high heat state. Xue Yi remembered the appearance of those blacksmith shop masters, and with his left hand in the tongs, and in his right hand he held a hammer half an arm's length, and struck it on the red-hot iron essence with a "ding-ding-ding".
Come to think of it, for thousands of years, the Yanshi people who have no combat power themselves have also worked like this. Unlike alchemists, they can use battle burn to increase the temperature, and then manipulate the power to shape. They only used refined coal of high purity or some extremely precious fuel to make fires, and like ordinary human blacksmiths, they used hammers to shape the prototypes of countless magical "tools" one by one, and with their dexterous hands, they made masterpieces that shocked the entire continent. And compared with the Yanshi clansmen, he actually has an innate advantage, that is, he has combat power, and it is a light attribute combat power that is very suitable for turning into flames. Combined with the methods of the alchemist, the Yanshi can have a higher efficiency than the Yanshi people.
The "ding" sound sounded regularly, and the blacksmith slowly turned into a delicate hexagonal prism in Xue Yi's hands. Fortunately, Xiao Bi's spiritual power had blocked the entire room before, otherwise he would have made such a big move in the middle of the night, and he would have been discovered by the people of the Zhou Mansion a long time ago. Although he is his own person and will not embarrass himself, he does not want to expose some of his methods in Yanshi's art at the moment, so there is nothing wrong with hiding it for the time being.
Seeing that the iron essence in his hand had basically been formed, Xue Yi put it into the Ding furnace again, and immediately carefully raised the temperature. After the surface of the iron essence flowed again, Xue Yi took out the iron essence again, and then quickly put it into the ice water bucket on the side.
"Sss When Xue Yi took it out again, a black hexagonal iron block the size of a thumb appeared in front of Xue Yi.
This piece of iron essence is the core of the magic crystal bomb, or rather, the prototype of the core. Because it also needs Xue Yi to engrave a small magic circle on it in order to successfully drive the operation of the entire "instrument".
Without saying a word, Xue Yi seemed to be tireless, and continued to start the next step of smelting. This time, the difficulty of smelting is much smaller, and it is only necessary to half-melt the ordinary iron ingots and then flatten them into iron sheets. Then, the iron sheet was bent, welded, assembled, and then burned and quenched, and the shell of the magic crystal bomb was completed. At first glance, the hollow shell resembles a slender dragonfly, about three inches long and about finger wide. Because the iron sheet is pressed extremely thin, the weight of this iron dragonfly is very light, only a few tens of grams.
"Huh-" Xue Yi wiped his sweat, but he refused to stop for a moment. One by one, he put the materials into the furnace, shaped them into the shape he wanted, and then quenched them to finish. As the tiny parts were polished and formed, Xue Yi's movements became more and more skillful, and his speed became faster and faster. After an hour and a half, Xue Yi already had a bunch of parts waiting by him.
"Finally got the first step. Xue Yi severed the connection with the Ding furnace, extinguished the furnace fire, and immediately sat down on the ground tiredly. Although maintaining the furnace fire was not a big drain on his combat power, he still felt a great burden after a long time, no less than the fierce battle he had just experienced.
