Chapter 371: Dagger
As the pace deepened, scattered ores began to appear along the way, all kinds of ores, and the colors were not the same, Qin Nan worked hard to identify them, and then collected the individual types of them, ready to practice first.
This was only his first time refining weapons, and he had no experience at all, so he didn't expect to be able to succeed at one time, just practice.
Probably collected dozens of catties of ore, the next step is to find a suitable place for yourself. If you can put the stove on a mountain wall hundreds of meters high, it is good, but it is very troublesome and easy to leak.
The other refiners here are all primordial gods, but Qin Nan is the only one who brought them with his physical body, and he also has a flying martial scripture, so it is strange that he is not remembered.
Qin Nan intends to keep a low profile and keep a low profile!
Soon, he realized that instead of looking around for a suitable place to put his stove, there was a lot of room under his feet, and as the old saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest.
With Qin Nan's rotten stove, dilapidated and old, it is estimated that no one is willing to take a second look at it while it is still on the ground, let alone move it away. Sometimes the more you are still in the open, the more no one will notice, and vice versa.
Thinking of this, Qin Nan sat down in a place against the mountain wall, and more than ten meters away was a flat stone road, extending deep underground.
At this moment, there was no one around, Qin Nan took out the furnace and put it on the ground, then put hundreds of yuan stones at a time, and then threw the collected ore into the furnace, and the first refining began.
These ores picked up by Qin Nan are all of the same kind, so this is a more conservative approach. However, if you want to refine mixed materials, many metals do not grow together, and the melting point is different, so it is difficult to achieve the best effect.
Those who can refine mixed materials must be a powerful family, or a seasoned refiner, to have this qualification and master many recipes.
Although some materials are not compatible, if you put a little bit of it, you may have a different result.
After spending hundreds of yuan stones, Qin Nan's refining furnace was activated, and all kinds of mechanisms inside were put into operation, and the ore began to heat up and turn red.
Qin Nan waited in front of the furnace, not looking inside the furnace to watch the refining situation, but he didn't poke his head over to watch, but the Yuan Shen was differentiated, and it was enough to release a trace of thought.
At the same time, Qin Nan could use the Yuan Shen to directly control the various mechanisms in the refining furnace, so as to meet the various needs in the refining process.
In half an hour, all the ore is melted, and then the impurities in the ore, all kinds of sediment and debris, any impure ore must be removed by the mechanism in the furnace itself.
"So fast?"
Qin Nan waited silently, feeling that this speed was quite fast, although the cost of Yuan Shi was huge, but it had always increased the refining speed, so it didn't seem to be a loss.
However, Qin Nan didn't know at this time what kind of speed this refining furnace was fast, and if it was seen by other fellow refiners, he would probably immediately drop his jaw.
However, it is a pity that this time the refining was not successful, a large number of useful minerals were discharged by Qin Nan, but some impurities were left, all because the heat was not mastered well, it can only be said that Qin Nan's refining level is not enough.
Qin Nan was not discouraged, and while the hundreds of Yuan Stones had not yet been consumed, he started refining for the second time. The object of refining this time is still the same raw material as just now, so it can be said that it has just been graded.
Qin Nan lifted the lid and put dozens of raw materials into it, and then sat next to him and waited.
This time, Qin Nan was cautious, constantly paying attention to the changes in the refining furnace. I watched as the ore was burned red, then melted little by little, and all kinds of impurities were drained away, leaving behind all the essence.
Qin Nan saw with his own eyes that a small ball of transparent liquid was forming in the refining furnace, emitting a fire-like light, this was molten iron, which could be directly used for casting.
However, the refining furnace has its own pouring mechanism, which can be done directly with Yuan Shen control, and the shape and shape can be controlled.
In the blink of an eye, it was another few hours of hard work, Qin Nan concentrated until the last moment, and if he was not careful, the result was another failure.
Qin Nan wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, his body was slightly weak, this refiner is indeed a tiring profession, it is not easier than a fight.
Although he failed again the second time, Qin Nan was still not discouraged and silently prepared to start the third refining.
After two consecutive non-stop refining, and he is also a beginner refiner, if there is a refiner who sees Qin Nan's actions now, he will definitely be surprised by it, and praise Qin Nan's persistence and perseverance.
The third refining began, Qin Nan learned the lessons of the previous two times, and became more cautious, focusing only on the refining furnace, carefully controlling every link in the refining process.
At the end, feeling that the heat was almost over, Qin Nan finally activated the pouring mechanism of the refining furnace.
There was a "bang", and there was a noise in the stove, and the whole furnace body shook and rumbled.
After a while, Qin Nan lifted the lid and activated the throughput mechanism of the refining furnace, and a small dagger bounced out, and the first refining was successful.
Qin Nan held the dagger he had refined in his hand, its handle and blade were one, less than a foot long, about two fingers wide, and the blade was slightly curved, looking delicate and small.
Except for a few minor flaws, the whole is average.
Qin Nan smiled bitterly, but he was still a little excited in his heart.
Although it is quenched with the water in the furnace, the material, craftsmanship, shape, etc., are not good, but after all, this is his first work, and it is impossible to say that he is unexpected.
Qin Nan grabbed the dagger in his hand, held it with his backhand, and made a hand-to-hand combat action to try to see how his dagger felt.
After trying it a few times, it felt worse and worse, Qin Nan looked at the utensils he had refined in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more discouraged he became, and there was really a gap between him and the master's handwriting.
If it is taken to the auction hall of the martial arts association for auction, it is estimated that no one will buy even five yuan stones.
The artifacts refined by the refiner are also divided into grades, and the blue blood sword refined by the ancestor of the Xiao family is considered to be a mid-level lower grade. And this dagger refined by Qin Nan is estimated to be not even a low-level grade.
The more senior blacksmiths are afraid that they are all better than him, at least they are much more beautiful in appearance.
Qin Nan threw away the dagger and rubbed his hands, this time, he was going to collect some more advanced materials and refine higher-level artifacts.
After all, to identify the grade of a utensil, in addition to looking at the process and appearance, the raw material is the key. R1058
