Chapter 323: A Thousand Tempers
The bronze casting process is not complicated, but the complex is the various links, such as building molds, using clay as a model, paying attention to integrity and integrity, and it is difficult to do without half a year of practice. Another example is alloy smelting, if you want to skillfully estimate the ratio of alloy, through the observation of the color of the melted alloy, add and decrease the ratio, but also can not be completed without three years of effort, and a little carelessness will cast a soft or brittle waste sword.
The copper hammer has never taught the sword casting technique, of course, at this moment, of course, he is even more worried, this apprentice is gifted, and his intelligence is extraordinary, but for this kind of skilled work, it is not his understanding, but the real training, only by creating hundreds of swords by himself, can he form a perfect, complete and perfect sword casting process,
And even if he becomes a foundry, even if he and the bronze helmet personally take action, they dare not guarantee that there will be no mistakes and omissions.
Of course, there is no bottom in the heart of the beginner's casting technique, not to mention that the process of casting this kind of bronze sword is too complicated, there are more ups and downs, and there will be problems if you are not careful, but Jiwen is full of wisdom, and there are several solutions in a moment, so he nodded firmly and said: "Master, this bronze sword is too complicated, why don't I cast a weapon in the way you taught you to cast copper rings last time!"
The copper hammer hurriedly said: "Little ancestor, the copper ring weapon is too soft, it must not be able to compare to this bronze alloy!"
Ji Wenming rolled his eyes and said: "Then with other materials, I see that kind of black iron ingot seems to be harder and tougher than the Earth Demon Copper Crystal, it is better to cast an iron sword!"
The copper hammer sighed and said: "Iron sword? This magic gold is strong in nature, and it is difficult to shape it into a sword! Some predecessors have tried it, but once it cools, it cannot be processed deeply, so they have made rough iron rods, which are useless!"
Ji Wenming thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's the lack of firepower, I can control the fire, maybe I can make up for this loophole, and let me try!"
In the past, some people also thought of using other magic gold to cast sword weapons, but bronze is easier to shape, but black iron is difficult to shape, so gradually, everyone gave up trying and blindly used the ancient method to cast swords, but now Ji Wenming once again proposed to use iron to cast swords, which is not out of line.
What others can't do, your own apprentices may not be able to do! Copper Hammer knew that his apprentice could create miracles, and he didn't plan to win this game anyway, so he nodded and said: "Just try it, anyway, with me to help you out, even if you lose, you won't be cold!"
Ji Wenming nodded and said, "Okay, master, then I'll go up?"
Seeing the copper hammer nodding, Xi Wenming took off his coat and went on the field with his shoulders, at this moment, the three senior brothers were still repairing and processing the sword blank in their hands, making the sword body smooth and complete, and checking whether there were insect eyes caused by uneven smelting ore liquid, which were all signs of unqualified swords.
To tell the truth, it is indeed a bit risky for Ji Wenming to create a new means of casting swords, but the copper hammer has made up his mind to retreat and forge a sword with a new casting process, even if he loses, it is not unusual, he only says that he will try the product by himself, in case it is done, it is a great cause that will benefit the future generations, especially for the old-fashioned guy of the bronze helmet, that kind of shock, and properly take out the caster quota to give it to himself.
The copper hammer is also a ruthless move to put it to death and then live, but he doesn't know that Ji Wenming has already made up his mind, and he may not be proficient in swordsmanship, but he still has a few swords that he has saved privately, of course he knows the standard of good and bad,
What's more, the Ziying sword fetus that Tu Shan Nujiao gave to herself, as well as several swords of Dongyi swordsman, are all in her hands at the moment, although the process of casting long swords on the ground and underground is different, but under getting along day and night, Ji Wenming can also figure out some clues.
In addition, Ji Wenming's own strength is extraordinary, even a waste sword can exert unusual power in his hands, therefore, with the master's approval, the sword casting competition can be regarded as nine out of ten for him.
He placed the black iron ingot in the furnace and began to heat it, and after a few moments, it was scorched red by the heat of the lava flame, and he took it out with a copper gauntlet covered with animal skins and fixed it to the iron felt.
Ji Wenming's thin arm, picked up the largest giant hammer next to him, and rounded the black iron ingot, the sound was like thunder, fortunately, all the magicians present were used to such a noisy sound, only the copper helmet looked at the green forging technique of Xi Wenming, but the drop point of the hammer was slight, all of them smashed on the impurities of the iron ingot, and couldn't help but say to the copper hammer: "Is the master and nephew going to cast an iron sword? However, this kid has a lot of strength and good eyesight, but if he uses a hammer like this, I'm afraid he will hurt his arm!"
Copper Hammer smiled: "He looks thin, but his strength is really great, I have never seen how he uses a hammer, senior brother may as well * him when he is free!"
Ji Wen's way of exerting his strength comes from the martial arts of the earthly world, paying attention to the combination of waist and legs, and the body is like one, therefore, the limit force that can be achieved is huge, but the foundries in the abyssal world use different methods, they pay attention to the shoulder strap hand, wrist force, as far as the eye can see, and the hammer is caused.
These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, the martial arts method is better than the strength, and the caster's method of force is better than the durability.
At this time, with a little encouragement, he opened his mouth and pointed: "Master and nephew pay attention, the legs should be steady, the waist should be lowered, the shoulder strap hand, the wrist force, as far as the eye can see, the hammer is caused, this is the essence of my black iron casting." ”
Ji Wenming adjusted his posture when he heard this, but the head of this hammer was half the size of a person, and it was quite difficult to use the strength of his waist and legs to rotate with his arms alone.
The bronze helmet continued: "The bigger the hammer, the better, you can change to a smaller hammer to try, the most suitable hammer for yourself is the best!"
Ji Wenming nodded to the bronze helmet, threw down the No. 1 hammer in his hand, and chose the No. 2 hammer, this hammer also weighs a thousand catties, and it is easy for few people to use, but it is half lighter than the No. 1 hammer.
But Ji Wenming felt that the hammer in his hand was quite easy to use, and under the full exertion, the rhythm of forging on the black iron crystal suddenly became brisk, and under the vigorous beating of Ji Wenming, the iron ingot weighing 100 catties was suddenly knocked into an iron rod, seeing that the temperature was not enough, and the beating began to be difficult, Ji Wenming stuffed it back into the furnace again to heat.
In the eyes of the copper hammer, Ji Wenming learned the casting technique for the first time, and the only thing he has ever cast is only a copper chain, and he only needs to forge the earth demon copper crystal into a ring, and then the rings are interlocking, and now his forging method is like forging a copper chain, but the material has been replaced with black iron, for a while, the old dwarf demon wiped his sweat again, and said in his heart: "Good apprentice, casting a sword and casting a chain are not the same thing, you must not come nonsense!"
