Chapter 6: The Three Refining Forges
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
With a rhythmic sound of percussion, two pieces of iron gradually took shape, and a brand-new hammer appeared in Fang Bai's hand with freshly baked fire.
Carrying the brand-new steel hammer, Fang Bai threw aside the hammer that was already somewhat deformed.
Coupled with the new iron felt and iron tongs that have been replaced, all the forging tools of Fangbai have been successfully renewed.
"Iron for steel is also a shotgun for a gun."
Fang Bai looked at the steel hammer and was slightly excited, looking at the iron armor piece next to him, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, and he immediately became a little nervous.
"You can try."
Fang Bai thought for a moment and then said aloud.
After speaking, he immediately picked up a piece of iron armor and calcined it on the stove, and after it became red, he took it out for forging.
The soft iron changes shape under the steel hammer, and the impurities begin to be removed under the forging, and the carbon content decreases little by little, and with the two folds and forging, the dark iron gradually blooms with a touch of silver.
In the past, he had to stop forging at this time, and instead cut holes and punched holes, but this time Fang Bai didn't stop, and after completing the second folding forging, he folded it again, and he wanted to fold it for the third time!
However, a hammer fell.....
Table tennis!
There was a dull explosion that was obviously different, and the hammer in Fang Bai's hand was raised high, but it didn't fall for a long time.
"Every folding of iron is a round of forging, and every folding and forging is close to a rebirth for iron.
A piece of soft iron often only needs to be folded twice to transform into high-strength, high-toughness steel.
Because each round of forging is often more than 50 times and less than 100 times of forging, there is also a saying that 100 times are made into steel, which is why common blacksmiths often fold and forge twice.
If you think about it, are the blacksmiths you go out to see two folds and forges?
"And within our forging industry, this is also called two refining."
Fang Bai recalled his father's account when he forged the sword eleven years ago.
"The two refining is the most basic and the easiest, there is no difficulty, there is no technology, even if it is built indiscriminately, as long as it is explored for a period of time, there is no big problem with "refining into steel".
And the real difficulty starts from the third refining, and when it comes to this refining, even a wrong hammer will be fatal, and only when it reaches the third refining can it be called a forger, otherwise it is an iron-striking ...... You see, you're a piece of iron. ”
Just like what his father said about forging swords and iron bars, when he heard the sound of this hammer that seemed to meet each other, Fang Bai recalled this sentence and understood a little.
This nail piece ..... Scrapped.
"Why is it abolished, the ancient words may be mysterious and mysterious, but they can only be understood but not spoken, so I won't tell you.
But in modern terms, at least according to my experience with modern equipment over the years, you have a problem with the stress hammer.
I don't rule out that someone can straighten out the stress of the mess, but I know that I can't do it, and you can't do it, so it's a waste of iron.
Although it will not turn back into iron, it is impossible to continue to progress, and if it continues to be forged, it will even regress and become more brittle, and weakness will be born, which will be shattered when touched.
You can refer to Rupert's Tears for the principle.
If the two refining is only to give full play to the original material strength of iron to form steel, then the third refining is to improve the strength of the material again on the basis of the same material, and use technology to break through the original limit of the material.
And how to break through this limit has to return to each forging of each of the two refining in the initial two refining, each hammer is critical, and each hammer is to lay the foundation for the third refining.
Although the seventy-two hammers of our Fang family's forging method are not the strongest, they are also considered to be the best in the inheritance of the ancient and modern forging industry.
As for the lack of modern stress testing equipment and means in ancient times, how was it forged?
Sound! The sound of forging! ”
Fang Bai picked up the armor piece in front of him, shook his head slightly, and threw it into the scrap metal pile.
"What Dad said is really right, don't think about three refinements if the foundation is not solid, you can't play it if you have a inheritance, and knowing that peace will be completely different things."
"It's still not good to be ambitious, let's lay a good foundation first, the forging master industry apprenticeship for ten years, and ten years of forging can get the true inheritance.
During my apprenticeship, I could have 1,000 hammers a day, 365,000 hammers in a year, and 3,650,000 hammers in 10 years.
In that case, I'll take the 3,650,000 hammers! ”
Fang Bai suddenly found that the forging that he had no feeling seemed to be becoming interesting from this moment.
The thoughts in his heart precipitated, and he took a piece of iron armor that had been reddened, and smashed it down with a hammer.
"Bell!"
Unlike before, this time Fang Bai's ears quietly listened to every trembling sound of the iron armor, and his palm felt every vibration of the iron hammer, and he was no longer negligent.
Although he didn't hear anything or feel anything, Fang Bai knew that this was right, and there would be only benefits and no harm in the future, so he did it seriously.
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
The crisp sound of percussion echoed in the crimson deposit, and one piece after another piece of iron armor transformed into steel armor after two refinements.
One, two, three, five, ten, fifty..... Ninety-seven tablets.
The sky was completely darkened, and Fang Bai counted the number of armor pieces with the help of the firelight.
It took a day for Fang Bai to forge ninety-seven two refining armor pieces, and these ninety-seven armor pieces seemed to be exactly the same each, but if you measured them carefully, you would find that the angle of each piece was slightly different, and each piece was a little different, but the difference was not big.
And Fang Bai groped for the angle of each piece of armor, while counting, he marked the number on it, and after completing this step, Fang Bai glanced at the time.
20:09.
After reading the time, Fang Bai set an alarm clock for twelve o'clock in reality and entered the game again, hiding in the shelter and closing his eyes into the fantasy space.
In the fantasy space, a red-hot piece of iron armor, a piece of steel felt, a steel tong, and a steel hammer appeared in front of Fang Bai.
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
There is no need to wait for the nail piece to heat up, Fang Bai clamped the iron piece and directly picked up the steel hammer and smashed it down.
"Bell!"
One hammer, two hammers, three hammers.... Seventy-two hammers!
"Bell!"
After the last hammer smashed Fang Bai, he directly refreshed the physical state in his fantasy space, refreshed the state of the iron armor, and then smashed it down again.
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
One hammer, two hammers..... Seventy-two hammers.
Flushed!
Seventy-two hammers!
Refresh, Seventy-Two Hammers!
In the fantasy space, Fang Bai would be tired, but he only needed to re-fantasize about his body to recover.
In the fantasy space, Fang Bai could fantasize about any item he had scanned, including iron armor pieces, and naturally also red-hot iron armor pieces.
There is no need to wait for people and nail tablets, all Fang Bai has to do is to endure loneliness and experience the whole process with his heart.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The continuous crisp percussions echoed in the fantasy space, Fang Bai listened carefully to the sound, feeling the shock of the hammer, and continued to reciprocate.
"Ding, ding, ding."
At twelve o'clock, the alarm went off, and Fang Bai, who felt a little, withdrew from the fantasy space and went offline.
After the meal, I took out the iron floating props that had been dismantled for most of the time and began to study, while dismantling and querying the information, occasionally asking the store's customer service, or posting on the Internet, researching, learning, and recording little by little.
About two hours later, Fang Bai lay on the bed and fell asleep.
It's another fulfilling day, and at the end of the notebook are two lines of numbers.
"Remember the first day."
“98/1825。”
“86400/3650000。”
