Chapter Ninety-Eight: Smelting Ore
Lin You walked to the place where he had forged the sword weapon before. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He looked at the tool table and saw that the tools were ready.
Lin You glanced at it casually, compared to the last time he came here, the things on the tool table were much more complete.
And some of the items consumed have also been replenished.
Next to the tool table, the stove was blazing.
This should have been a fire made by the staff in advance.
Forging requires some preparation, and the people here are already ready for him.
When Lin You saw this scene, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
This also saves him some time.
Lin You opened a wooden box in the upper right corner of the workbench.
The contents of it immediately entered his eyes.
Strange metal shimmers with extraordinary light.
That's the result of his last smelting.
After opening the wooden box like this and not closing it, Lin You looked at something next to him again.
Deep black, the size of a basketball, with some potholes in the surface.
This thing looks a little mysterious in the light of the light.
Clusters of dark light rippled around it.
It almost makes people think that they are dazzled.
But when one looks at it again, one will find that it is not that he is dazzled, but that this thing is rippling with ghostly light.
Lin You stretched out his right hand and stroked the surface of this strange stone.
His fingers leaned up, and a cold sensation passed through his fingers.
Lin You held the strange stone on the palm of his right hand.
He felt the gravity of the strange stones.
When he helped the old woman hold it before, he already knew the weight of the strange stone.
Even now, when I feel it again, I still feel a little surprised.
The weight of this strange stone is far more than the same volume of lead.
"Meteorite mines?"
Lin You looked at the stone in his hand and muttered.
"However, I don't know what it is, but I still have to smelt it out and then make a judgment. ”
Standing in front of the workbench and thinking about it for a while, Lin You began to deal with it with his left hand.
He put the strange stone he had obtained from the old woman into the furnace and began to smelt it.
At this time, he was a little glad in his heart.
If it weren't for the idea that he would rather be lacking than abundant, he would have stopped the forging work directly yesterday.
So even if he got this strange stone now, it is estimated that he can only sigh and put it aside for future use.
According to the record in the sword washing technique.
After the sword is forged, it can be forged twice.
But it takes more effort each time.
Take the material in his hand, for example.
If only he had forged the sword before, and wanted to smelt the strange stone into it again.
With the volume of the strange stone, even after smelting, the size and weight of the resulting material are estimated to be no less than that of a forged longsword.
In this way, it is equivalent to replacing the material of the longsword entirely.
It takes far more effort than forging a new sword.
In terms of time alone, it will take at least a few months of diligent research.
Not to mention the other related ingredients that are needed.
However, if you give up the longsword that has already been built and forge another one, it is impossible.
Whether or not the relevant raw materials can be collected again is a trivial matter.
What really matters is that when forging a long sword, the forger's qi is smelted into the sword.
This is not just a case of qi consumption, but a connection between the forge and the sword weapon in some way.
Unless the forger destroys the forged sword in his hand, he will not be able to forge his own longsword again.
And once he destroys the sword weapon in his hand, although it will not reach the point of destroying the sword.
But the forgers themselves will also take a major hit.
Take Lin You himself.
If he forged a sword and destroyed it again.
Then his realm will fall directly to the early stage of refining and refining qi, and at the same time, the entire person's soul and body will also suffer a lot of damage.
If you want to cultivate your physique again, cultivate your sword qi, and advance to the middle stage of refining and refining qi, you don't know how long it will take.
However, he was fortunate to avoid such a situation.
Lin You looked at the ore in the fire, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Under the licking of the cyan flames, the ore did not change at all.
The sheen on its surface is getting deeper and deeper.
Lin You saw it in his eyes, as if he felt a chill transmitted from inside the ore, suppressing the flames inside the furnace.
He opened the damper to let air into the stove and increase the temperature inside the stove.
But the situation has not changed.
The flames around the ore were much stronger, but the condition of the ore was still the same.
Lin You looked at the ore, but he didn't expect that there would be an obstacle at the beginning.
If you can't even smelt, then what's the point of forging a sword.
Lin You glanced at the tool table, and when he saw the thing next to the corner, he had a plan in his heart.
It was a cylindrical cylinder.
The workshop here is of a research nature, so even the old-fashioned forging furnace used by Lin You has undergone a certain amount of transformation.
Lin You connected a gate valve of the forging furnace with a pipe and a cylinder.
After a little debugging, Lin You opened the valve of the cylinder.
As soon as the valve of the cylinder was opened, the flames inside the furnace burst out, and the temperature of the scene increased a lot.
Seeing this scene, a look of anticipation appeared in Lin You's eyes.
He opened the cylinder's valve to the maximum, and then stared intently at the ore inside the furnace.
The ore has finally changed a little.
The color of its surface has changed.
The crimson color begins to rise on the surface of the ore.
In less than five minutes, the ore had turned a red color.
Lin You looked at the time and began to wait patiently.
What he enters into the furnace is nothing else, it is oxygen.
By increasing the oxygen content inside the furnace to make the fuel fully combusted, and then increase the temperature, it has been a common method of modern smelting work.
It stands to reason that this method is not needed for this old-fashioned stove.
However, the furnace was used for experiments, and the researchers tried to improve its effectiveness as much as possible.
The ore was scorched by the flames, and strands of red light were projected from its interior, as if to become transparent, turning into a red crystal.
Lin You looked at the change in the ore, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Before, the ore that had not been calcined was completely black, but I did not expect such a big change in the calcination.
Looking at the ore, Lin You looked forward to it even more.
He took the tools and began to process the ore......
