Otherworldly Chapter 7: Divine Consciousness Refiner
Su You successfully became a craftsman in the Ten Thousand Blades Workshop.
When Bai Shan got the news, he was very happy for him, even happier than he was admitted himself, which moved Su You for a while.
Su You took the opportunity to persuade Bai Shan to move in with him. The quartermaster's dormitory was a separate house, large enough for the two of them.
Bai Shan did not refuse this time and said that he would consider it.
The next morning, Su You came to the workshop with only one studio in advance. On the first day of work, you have to behave better.
He wanted to come to Dong Yan and Lu Yanfei for advice as soon as possible, so that he could get familiar with the artifact manufacturing work as soon as possible. There was no one in the workshop, and Su You knew that he had come early. Just wander around the room alone and get acquainted with the environment.
There is also a workshop downstairs that belongs to the instrument workshop, and when Su You came back from shopping, he hadn't seen Dong Lu and the others. He chose a desk that no one looked to have used before, and tidied it up a little, and this was his desk in the future.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Su You thought that the two colleagues had finally gone to work. It was Deacon Sun who came in, Su You was stunned for a moment, and got up to greet him.
Deacon Sun greeted and said, "Su You, come with me." ”
After speaking, he didn't explain, so Su You had to follow him downstairs and came to a pottery shop in the instrument workshop.
When I came in, there were already a few people inside, Dong Yan and Lu Yanfei were impressively listed. I thought they were late for work, but it turned out to be here.
What are these people going to do, Su You recognized that Ji Shi, and Su You was very impressed with him. Ji Shi and a middle-aged man each held a piece of cloth in their hands, and Su You recognized it as a sword diagram made by him.
Deacon Sun introduced the two instrumentalists to Su You, and Su You knew that Ji's name was Ji Changfeng, and he stepped forward to say hello.
Ji Changfeng looked at Su You, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, and said gently: "Brother Su is good, young and promising, the design of this sword is gorgeous and practical, and the painting is very good, such a bold idea makes Ji also quite inspired and beneficial." Master Yang and I are eager to try it after reading it, and we haven't felt this way for many years. ”
Lu Yanfei and Dong Yan, who were standing behind Ji Changfeng, had jealous looks flashing in their eyes.
Su You said respectfully: "The kid is just talking on paper, the refining of this real sword still depends on the two masters, and the kid is watching from the side and learning from the two masters." ”
A coquettish voice sounded, "Everyone is here, but Xiuyun is late." ”
Dressed in a light green draped dress, Sun Xiuyun, who was dignified in her beauty, walked in. She knows how to dress, and this outfit immediately makes her look a little more mature.
"You already know each other, so Xiuyun won't talk nonsense anymore. Half a month later is my father's birthday, I want to refine the dragon knife on this picture first, then this knife as a birthday gift, give him a surprise, you have to keep it secret, don't let my father know. How many masters think, how long does it take to refine this knife? ”
Ji Changfeng pondered for a moment and said: "The dragon knife pattern is exquisite, the whole dragon is full of knife body, the knife is four feet and seven inches long, more than a foot longer than the ordinary knife, the width of the knife is more than four fingers, the handle is to abandon the wooden handle, but the whole fine and rigid design, the dragon head and dragon body from the knife to the knife boring through the whole, the dragon claw pokes out to both sides of the knife boring, like the dragon probing the claw, vivid. ”
“...... Although the weight of the whole knife has increased considerably, the slender handle of the knife can be held in both hands, and it can be stabbed immediately, adding to the power. With this knife as the owner of the building to celebrate his birthday, it must be suitable. We're going to do our best to build it in 10 days. ”
Sun Xiuyun heard Master Ji's praise for the design of the Coiling Dragon Knife, and smiled with a smile: "Then please ask your masters." ”
Su You was shocked, it turned out that Sun Chongyuan was the owner of the Ten Thousand Blades Commercial Building. No wonder he said that he was lucky that day, and as a landlord, he would definitely not do this kind of recruitment work often.
Then several people discussed, mainly because the two masters of Ji Yang were talking, and everyone else could only listen to it. The two masters would occasionally ask Su You a few words, which made Lu Dong and the two instrument makers even more jealous.
Start selecting the knife iron. This inner hall is very large, and there are various fine iron materials in it, and there are rows of iron shelves piled up large and small.
At this time, Ji Changfeng and Yang Zifeng walked into the material area separately, stood still, closed their eyes, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
Su You's eyes widened to see what would happen next. For a while, the two of them still stood still, and Su You, who looked curious, didn't blink his eyes.
Suddenly, Su You had a strange feeling, as if something had swept over his body, and he felt his head tighten. He looked at a piece of iron and stone not far away, with some confusion. At this moment, Yang Zifeng walked towards the iron stone, and he glanced at Su You when he picked up the iron stone.
Su You's eyes flashed with surprise. What's going on, why did he look at this piece of iron picked up by Yang Zifeng in advance? On the other side, Ji Changfeng was also holding a piece of iron with one hand. The two looked at each other and smiled silently.
Yang Zifeng's face was slightly dark, tall, strong, and effortless to carry the iron stone, and he said: "My piece of iron weighs eighty-two catties, and the refined iron content in it is the highest, and the sulfide impurities are up to half into five, and after condensation, the weight is seventy catties, which is suitable for the landlord." ”
Ji Changfeng has a white face and a short beard, and his appearance is quite handsome, he holds the stone in one hand and holds the beard in the other hand and smiles: "Ji's piece of iron weighs seventy-one catties, the purity of refined iron is higher, and the impurities in it do not exceed half of it, and after refining it into a knife, it weighs sixty-six catties." ”
The two suddenly exchanged iron materials, closed their eyes and opened their eyes again, Yang Zifeng nodded, "Brother Ji still wins, just choose the iron material in the hands of Master Ji, and the six or six Shun are good!" ”
Su You understood, it turned out that the two of them were passing the material selection competition, and in the end, Ji Changfeng won. Shockingly, a knife weighs sixty-six pounds, can it be wielded? Could it be that the strength of those who cultivate divine consciousness is also greater?
Sun Xiuyun and Deacon Sun smiled on the side and watched the two answer each other, as if they were accustomed to it, while Dong Lu and the others looked envious.
After selecting the materials, the furnace begins, followed by iron burning, knife casting, forging, plastic billet, and then quenching and sharpening processes.
Su You saw a few people gathered around the stove, he silently walked into the material area, and learned the two craftsmen to close their eyes, concentrate, and think about the surrounding iron piles. For a long time, I didn't feel anything about the iron. He was about to open his eyes, when suddenly he felt as if someone was looking at him, even with his eyes closed, and he knew very well that he was 'seeing' them looking at him, and it was a strange feeling.
Su You opened his eyes and found that everyone was really looking at him, and even the posture was the same as what he 'saw' when he closed his eyes.
Su You felt strange in his heart, glanced at a few people, and smiled awkwardly. As he walked back, he casually touched a piece of iron beside him, and the shape of this piece of iron came to his mind, and he "saw" that there were a few yellow spots sparsely distributed around the gray-black iron block.
Su You's heart was shocked. Not only did he see the inside of this piece of iron, but he also knew that the weight of this piece of iron was about forty catties.
Su You entered a mysterious state, subconsciously touched another piece of iron, the same thing happened, he unconsciously touched the iron in the material area, and 'saw' the various color clusters formed by magazines inside each piece of iron.
For about a quarter of an hour, he felt a weakness in his mind, and that 'seeing' was gone.
Su You woke up, and he rubbed his head that was a little swollen.
Su You's behavior aroused everyone's curiosity, except for Lu Yanfei and Dong Yan, who were burning the furnace, everyone else was looking at him.
Su You silently picked up a piece of steel-gray iron on the iron frame on the left, which was slightly larger than a palm and heavier. When I touched this piece of material before, I found that the crystals inside it were more closely arranged.
Although Su You was not sure what kind of metal it was, he also knew that its density was definitely higher than that of ordinary iron, and he suspected that it was chromium metal in the chemical element list. But is this whole piece of highly pure chromium naturally occurring? It should have been purified, Su You didn't know the refining method of chrome ore, and he faintly felt that it was more complicated, and the requirements for refining equipment and materials were very high, how did the people of this world do it?
Su You didn't have the leisure to get to the bottom of it, several people were already looking at him with doubts in their eyes, Su You smiled and said: "I feel that this piece of material is not bad, of course, it is not to replace the iron material selected by Master Ji, I just want to study it." ”
The fire was booming, and he began to burn the iron material of Ji Shi. Master Yang had already chosen two hammers. For nearly an hour, the iron became soft, Ji Shi took out the burned red iron from the furnace, Yang Zifeng picked up the sledgehammer with both hands, shouted violently, and smashed it into the knife blank. Clang! Clang! The sound resounded through the chamber.
Ji Changfeng made a small hammer, Yang Zifeng made a big hammer, and the two hammered alternately, and the fine iron material was slowly flattened and stretched. The iron sheet is folded and hammered back into a long flat shape, and so on. Yang Zifeng handed the sledgehammer to Lu Yanfei, and then changed hands with Ji Shi. Lu Yanfei slammed it for a while and handed it to Dong Yan, and several people alternated and took turns to fight.
The blade is tightly clamped, constantly changing the angle and position of the force, folding and forging, and the blade is under the blow of the hammer, moving closer to the shape of the coiled dragon knife designed by Su You.
On the side, Sun Xiuyun and Deacon Sun were not the slightest impatient, and they watched with relish.
Su You walked to the stove and threw the iron material suspected to be chrome metal in his hand into the furnace, at this time everyone else's thoughts were on the forging side, and no one paid attention to Su You. Sun Xiuyun looked at him in surprise and didn't speak.
The people on both sides do their own things, and they don't look at each other. The ferrochrome block was burned in the high-temperature furnace for a long time, and the chrome block burned red, and there was no tendency to soften at all, which further confirmed Su You's guess. The melting point of chromium can be more than a thousand degrees.
Su You asked the furnace maker to increase the fire and raise the temperature. After more than an hour like this, the iron chrome finally softened, and Su You excitedly pulled it out, picked up a hammer with one hand and hammered it hard. It's too much to swallow with just a few hammers, the hammer is too heavy, the chrome is too hard.
He called Dong Lu and the others who were watching to come over to help, and the two didn't want to deal with him, but under Miss Sun's gaze, they had to pick up a big hammer and hammer it hard.
Although this piece of "chrome" is smaller, it is harder than fine iron, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them hammered profusely.
They were just hammermakers, not hammersmiths, and the two of them cursed Su You in their hearts while hammering.
