After the world collapsed

Chapter 115 Daoist Ziyang
Marble fine stone is rich in a large amount of tin, and it is an excellent material for casting swords after being properly mixed with copper.

But on today's occasion, under this level of competition, if you still use marble essence, the chance of winning is not great.

And the time is tight, if the marble and copper are adjusted on the spot, no matter how experienced Mr. Huang Long is, it is difficult to guarantee that he will make mistakes in his busy schedule.

For a moment, the surrounding swordsmiths all took a deep breath, feeling extremely nervous.

At this time, the Gongye Court on the opposite side had already started steelmaking. This was not the first time Zhang Sheng had seen a craftsman forge a craft, but the craftsman really had no image when forging.

Rolling up his sleeves, how could he have the calmness just now, he clamped the multi-layered raw steel with iron tongs and sent it into his special kiln. As time went by, the originally black raw steel Become as dazzling as the sun in the sky.

Holding the iron tongs in his left hand, he placed the tempered steel on the iron anchor. With a shake of the other hand, a delicate flat-headed hammer appeared in his hand. He found the angle, and the flat-headed hammer in his right hand suddenly fell.

"Dang!" Zhang Sheng clearly saw that the steel in the iron tongs was flattened by the hammer.

So that's it, this is the method of forging, the texture of the weapon produced in this way will be extremely hard, no, it can be even harder.

Sure enough, with the next hammer of Gongyeting, it hit the essence stone of Xieyuan on the other side of the iron anchorage. As soon as the hammer went down, debris flew, and there were many debris under the essence stone.

Putting down the flat hammer, grabbed the fine stone fragments on the iron anchor, and sprinkled them evenly on the golden molten steel.

Seeing this scene, Heicheng's eyes brightened and he murmured: "When forging, add fine stone powder to increase its overall hardness!"

Afterwards, Gongyeting hammered and hammered again, flattening and extending the original fist-sized steel material, hammering down evenly on all four sides, and repeating it many times, the steel material has begun to take shape.

"This process seems to be called Suyan." Huo Jin, a middle-aged man from the Artifact Refining Workshop of Xianmeng, said softly while watching Gongyeting's movements, his voice was not loud but reached the ears of everyone present.

Gongyeting's side has already reached a small scale, but Mr. Huang Long's side is still in the process of adjustment. Looking at the liquid that is gradually melting in the crucible, it is obvious that there is still some time before it is completed.

Gongyeting glanced at this side and saw that Mr. Huang Long was still making little progress. He erected a piece of steel that was about to be hammered into the shape of a stick, and took out an iron clip from the Qiankun bag. The middle part is used to clamp the steel.

I saw that he stepped on the iron tongs that had clamped the end of the steel with his feet, then clamped the other end with the newly taken out iron clamps, and held the handles on both sides with both hands.

With a loud shout, he turned the handle.

Steel rotates with it.

Seeing this scene, not to mention Huo Jin, even the white-haired old man Jiang Lishan and the young man from Xianmeng couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up from their chairs, and the surrounding swordsmiths also exclaimed.

"He actually used the method of rotation to compact the steel?" Hei Cheng exclaimed immediately when he saw Gongyeting's method.

Dense steel?It seems that this can indeed increase the density of the steel, but if the technique is not skillful enough, the steel is also easy to break at this stage.

It has to be said that this Gongyeting does have the capital to make a fuss, and this move demonstrates his skill and boldness.

Mr. Huang Long naturally also noticed the movement here, but he didn't show any expression when he glanced at it. It's better to pay attention to his adjustment ratio.

The surrounding swordsmiths, whether they are on the sword mountain or from afar, were amazed by Gongyeting's extraordinary forging techniques, and even the boy with curly hair who was originally icy looked at Mr. Huang Long at this time Also full of worry.

Hei Cheng suddenly laughed and said, "It's really hard to say who will win and who will lose."

Zhang Sheng was a little puzzled, isn't the old man afraid that his old friend will be defeated?His expression was still so relaxed.

After rotating and tightening, the original smooth steel surface has formed circles of slanted patterns, and Gongyeting put it flat on the iron anchor again and continued to forge.

Such a powerful forging method, which has not yet undergone spiritual injection. Just by the loud sound of the hammer hitting the steel, one can vaguely feel that its hardness is extraordinary and far exceeds that of ordinary forged swords.

Just as everyone was sweating for Mr. Huang Long, the crowd suddenly dispersed, and an old man in a purple robe walked out.

"It's Taoist Ziyang."

Zhang Sheng immediately heard people around him talking.

Ziyang?The swordsmith of Ziyang Sword Furnace?
Xing Hai once said that day that there are two master swordsmiths on the Sword Mountain, one is the Huanglong Sword Furnace, and the other is the Ziyang Sword Furnace.

It's just that he didn't have time to visit Ziyang Jianlu for some reason, and he didn't expect to see it here.

"Huanglong boy, continue." Taoist Ziyang threw a cloth bag and threw it over without saying a word, and the curly-haired boy immediately jumped up to take it.

After opening it and handing it to Mr. Huang Long, everyone took a closer look and found a purple essence stone inside.

Mr. Huang Long looked at Taoist Ziyang in surprise.

"Don't embarrass Jianshan." After finishing speaking, Taoist Ziyang shook his Taoist robe and turned away.

Seeing this scene, Hei Cheng immediately smiled and said: "Hey, this old boy, I didn't expect to do this to him."

Then he explained to Zhang Sheng.

It turned out that Taoist Ziyang has been famous in Jianshan for a long time, and he was originally the number one swordsmith in Jianshan, but the occasional arrival of Mr. Huanglong made his No.1 name for a long time not worthy of his name.

Although Ziyang Taoist had to admit that he was indeed inferior to Mr. Huang Long who was many years younger than him in sword casting, but due to his status as an elder, he never publicly admitted this.

What made him as famous as Mr. Huang Long in Jianshan was not his sword-making method, but his unique method of making fine stones, which was precisely this purple fine stone.

This is Ziyang Taoist's uniquely developed Zishan Stone. Outsiders only know that his Zishan Stone is the best sword-casting material he has researched, and he never spread it or sold it.

Not to mention the hardness, but only in terms of appearance, the sword made of yew stone is more delicate than the sword made by Mr. Huang Long.

For this reason, Mr. Huang Long came to ask for advice many times, but all of them were rejected.This is also the reason for the deep gap between the two rumors.

What everyone didn't expect was that today's competition involved Jianshan's face, and the stingy old Taoist actually handed over the purple shirt stone to Mr. Huanglong.

The top-quality material of yew stone, coupled with Mr. Huang Long's top-level adjustment techniques, can be said to be even more powerful when casting a sword.

Gong Yeting showed a disdainful expression after seeing the purple essence stone, but his face also changed after Mr. Huang Long put the purple shirt stone into the crucible in a certain proportion.

I saw that the purple of the surface of the small amount of yew stones that fell into the crucible faded, and the fine stones below were actually light silver, and as the light silver color increased, traces of gray smoke rose from the surface.

These gray smokes are accompanied by a strange smell that makes the roots of the teeth itchy.

After sniffing his nose, Heicheng exclaimed in a low voice, "This is...lead? There is a lot of lead in purple shirt!"

"lead?"

Zhang Sheng asked with some puzzlement.

Heicheng explained: "Lead will soften the hardness of the material, but adding a small amount of lead will reduce the difficulty of processing. It is precisely because the dosage is difficult to control, so few people will do this when casting swords. If at the same time Adding a small amount of tin to it will increase the strength appropriately..."

"Tin? Where is it? Could it be the marble essence?" Zhang Sheng suddenly felt enlightened.

Heicheng nodded and smiled, indeed.

More than half of the skill of a swordsmith is on adjustment, and Mr. Huang Long is quite accomplished here. The fusion of copper, tin, and lead is simply a fantasy for ordinary swordsmiths, but for It is not difficult for him.

"Get up!" Mr. Huang Long said slowly.

Hearing this, the boy with curly hair rushed back into the sword furnace, and soon saw him holding the sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was dragging a mold made of cement in the air.

It turned out that Mr. Huang Long started the model making process before the competition.

To be precise, the standardization is already in the preparation stage, so doing so is not considered a violation.

Huo Jin, a middle-aged man from Xianmeng, wanted to say something when he saw this scene, but was quietly held down by the old man.

Mr. Huang Long continued to smelt the mixed liquid in the crucible, and the gas flame in the crucible turned from black to yellow, from yellow to white and then from white to blue, apparently it was almost eliminated by the magazine.

It is known that the stage of perfection is ready to be cast.

Mr. Huang Long pointed the crucible at the mold, which is the sword fan, and the liquid in it slowly remained until it filled the sword fan. Mr. Huang Long was relieved, put down the crucible and waited for the solution to cool.

Gongye Court also ended the repeated forging and sulonging, and the shaping of the steel can begin after the steel has cooled down a bit.

The sword-casting and forging methods on both sides are excellent, even Zhang Sheng, a layman, thinks it is very wonderful, thinking that Zhen Xiaofan might have learned such skills from Qi Sheng, he is not surprised.

It didn't take long for the two sides to start moving again.

Hours of time flew by, but the competition scene outside the Huanglong Sword Furnace seemed frozen in time. Except for the two contestants, everyone else was staring at the movements on both sides, for fear that they would miss any important event. step.

Mr. Huang Long completed a series of steps such as scraping and grinding to make the surface smooth and smooth, installing accessories, matching sword tools, and sharpening the blade.

Since a small amount of yew stone was added during the preparation, the lead contained in it made the subsequent processing process much easier.

The hardness of the material and the sharpness of the blade are of course the most important factors in judging the quality of a sword, but a good appearance is also the finishing touch.

On the other side, Gongye Court was also finishing the work. At some point, he took out a series of tools from the Qiankun bag for grinding and polishing.

Almost at the same time, Mr. Huang Long and Gong Yeting put down the sword blanks in their hands.

Then there is the moment to witness the miracle.

　These chapters are too difficult to write. I checked countless ancient and modern Chinese and foreign casting and forging materials. Yesterday I had a stomach flu.

　　I hope that friends who like it will collect it.
