Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 166 Golden Snake Sword

It is very immoral to use modern civilization to judge ancient morality.

Such things as living people sacrificing swords are of course deliberate killing in modern times.

However, in that bloody era, it has become a legend that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Ganjiang Moxie and his wife sacrificed their swords themselves.

Who to talk to?
Of course, I would definitely not learn this method of refining swords with living beings.

Under the guidance of the four master swordsmiths, Qin Luo continued to learn other things.

hard to imagine……

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the sword-making civilization in the ancient East had actually reached a peak.

Before the Industrial Revolution, throughout the era of feudal society, the level of sword casting actually fluctuated up and down.

The Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods have always been on that commanding height.

"Mohist sword."

"Mohism's sword casting is also a unique skill. Juzi of all dynasties has mastered a casting method of an unknown iron, which is extremely sharp and tough, and can blow gold and break jade."

"I have watched Juzi casting swords. They are made of nine different materials, gold, silver, copper, iron, stone, jade, bone, wood, and lava. Mix them together to create a peerless sword."

I have seen many swords, a Mohist sword, which attracted Qin Luo's attention.

Mohists, the political philosophy is universal love, not offense.

However, his attainments in weapons are unrivaled in the world.

It turned out that at that time, the Mo family had already used alloy swords.

Without sophisticated scientific instruments at hand, Qin Luo was unable to determine the specific material of this Mohist sword.

After leaving the system space, the Mohist Sword and Ying Gao have already disappeared in the long river of history and ceased to exist.

Qin Luo's mood faded for a while.

This is an inevitable regret.

Furthermore...

This kind of sword is too difficult to forge.

The collection of materials alone is an almost impossible task.

……

After looking at a few more swords, Qin Luo was shocked again when he saw the next sword.

Seven Star Sword.

This Seven Star Sword is not the existing Seven Star Sword, but the earliest version of the Seven Star Sword.

The reason why it is called this name is not related to Taoism.

But...

The material of the sword is taken from seven different meteorite irons, which have been tempered by swordsmiths for 20 years before being cast.

seven stars.

The real Seven Stars.

Qin Luo: ...

Speechless.

These swordsmiths are crazy and happy.

Do your best to complete a masterpiece.

……

Next.

Qin Luo didn't even know how many swords he had seen.

All conceivable materials have long been studied repeatedly by swordsmiths in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods in an almost exhaustive manner.

There are some materials that I have never heard of or seen before.

However, according to the four master swordsmiths, it actually exists.

This is a bit like an earth online game.

The "players" who were the first to enter the server version have almost developed what can be developed.

Players who waited until later to enter the server, in fact, many scarce resources could no longer be found.

this process……

Even Qin Luo's view of space and time in the universe had some subtle changes.

The 5000-year history of China sounds very long and ancient, right?

but……

If the timeline is pulled to a longer dimension...

If the billions of years from the birth of the earth to the present are compared to one day...

The history of the development of human civilization is just the last second at 23:59.

He was inexplicably emotional.

……

Watch a thousand swords and recognize weapons.

This is not a false word.

I don't know how long it took, and Qin Luo didn't know how many swords he had seen, but he didn't want to vomit, but was completely immersed in it, and even felt a little unfinished.

How big is the gap between the wisdom of ancient people and modern people?

It's not really that big.

The crystallization of all kinds of wisdom, whimsical ideas, combined, is... civilization.

After swimming heartily in this long river of civilization, Qin Luo began to learn how to forge swords.

The difficulty of forging a sword.

The first is the selection of materials.

The characteristics of various metals, and their different changes at different temperatures, have been studied thoroughly by swordsmiths long ago.

In the simulated environment of the system space, Qin Luo felt like he had become a material science student, forgetting to eat and sleep.

Simultaneously.

In my own mind, many wonderful ideas emerged involuntarily.

Many modern materials are also not available in ancient times.

It feels a bit like a version of a generation of gods.

such as……

In today's society, ceramic knives have been widely used. This, in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, will definitely disappear.

Qin Luo feels...

Self is like a bond.

Standing on the long river of history, on the watershed between ancient and modern times, one can see history at a glance and step into the present with one foot.

The vastness of 2000 years is rolling away under your feet.

……

I don't know how long ago.

He woke up instead.

Looking at the phone, it was still early in the morning, and Sister Cha had already fallen asleep peacefully, but hugged herself tightly like an octopus.

Qin Luo hugged her back, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help closing his eyes again.

Go to sleep peacefully.

Every time I come out of the system space, I feel as if I have lived another life.

At this time, Qin Luo was inexplicably reminded of a conversation he had with Zhang Ziqi when he was in school.

The topic is, when you earn a lot of money and become famous, what will you choose to do?
Everyone's ideals are tacky.

Including beautiful women in cars, feasting and feasting, luxury and luxury, young models in clubs and so on.

Only Lao Zhang said that when I have money in the future and don’t worry about the pressure of reality, I will go to study many, many degrees, learn everything I want to learn, and live and learn as I grow old.

It's just... very pretentious.

It was ridiculed by the crowd.

However, at that time, I was a little shocked by his state, so I remembered this trivial matter so deeply.

And now...

It is certainly impossible for him to serve the people.

Instead, it's myself...

One by one, learn the past one by one, although boring, but extremely fulfilling.

……

Early the next morning.

Under the action of the biological clock, Qin Luo woke up early.

Sister Cha was still sleeping, so she didn't bother her, and went downstairs to practice Wu Qin Xi.

After the sword casting task is completed, there will be a sword formula reward.

This made Qin Luo feel a little hopeful for a while.

I have already felt the miraculous effect of Wu Qinxi.

What the system rewards is definitely not those flamboyant fists and embroidered legs, but the real method of passing on martial arts.

It is a real kung fu that has both the effect of killing and nourishing the body.

Although in modern society, it is rarely used.

But it is always right to keep fit.

Among the five animal plays, there is the most gentle "deer play". I chose two tricks from it and taught them to my grandfather for simple practice.

According to Grandpa, it worked out great.

Greatly improved his back pain.

……

After morning exercise, he was about to have breakfast when Zhang Ziqi called.

"Old classmate, are you awake? Do you want to stay in the county today? Or do you want to go to the countryside with me?"

"I still have a job."

"You said last night that you want to inspect the Longquan sword. I happen to have a few factories over there. If you want to visit, I will arrange it for you."

Zhang Ziqi didn't mention any of this when chatting last night.

However, his heart is clear.

Not only did he send Qin Luoshu, but he also took the initiative to arrange it, revealing a kind of reliability.

"Go to the countryside."

"Hahaha, I definitely want to see it myself."

Qin Luo said with a smile.

So Zhang Ziqi immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll pick you up in half an hour. Let's go together."

After simply having breakfast, Zhang Ziqi had already arrived, got into the car together, and navigated away along the location he gave.

"This factory is the former state-owned factory. It used to be the leading sword casting enterprise in the local area, and it is still the same now. Its roots are in full swing."

"Although the scale is not so large, most of the production tasks are special tasks. They are supplied as national ritual vessels."

"I don't think I need to introduce much about the history of the Longquan Sword. All the bigwigs at the national level have actually received the Longquan Sword as a gift."

"In fact, the reason why this industry can survive in that special era is entirely due to Duke Zhou's foresight."

Qin Luo nodded slightly.

Such a factory is indeed rooted and seedling red.

However, the inheritance of the Longquan Sword has been cut off once, and this is also the truth.

All kinds of modern crafts have been re-studied in the past few decades.

It is really troublesome to sever the inheritance.

It's like doing it all over again.

The general technical ideas must have been inherited, but many details and experience have to be explored again.

After Zhang Ziqi gave Qin Luo a detailed introduction, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

The voice is very loud, and the people over there, speaking in the local dialect, should be arranged to visit and study.

The dialect here is difficult to understand, and Qin Luo can't understand it either.

but……

But I can see a little clue.

It seemed that the two had some verbal conflicts, which were not properly arranged.

After Zhang Ziqi yelled a few words on the phone, he seemed a little helpless and hung up the phone.

Turning his head to look at Qin Luo, there was a hint of apology in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Lao Qin, why don't you change to another factory. This factory has just received a strange task and is currently busy. It may be that the research and development is not going well."

"It's very angry, and I can't force it."

Zhang Ziqi is still self-aware.

Nor did they use the attitude of "a senior official crushes people to death".

Very respectful of the authority of the insider.

For this reason, I would rather let Qin Luo down.

Qin Luo smiled slightly, but there was a trace of curiosity in his eyes, and he couldn't help asking: "What is the important task? If it doesn't involve confidentiality, let's hear it."

"Maybe, I might have something in mind?"

Zhang Ziqi glanced at him, waved his hands and smiled.

"you?"

"You know shit!"

"You definitely don't know as much as I do!"

After all, he is a local.

And Qin Luo, who has never been in contact with these things, where can he know?

Faced with such doubts, Qin Luo smiled again, but still insisted: "Tell me, maybe I understand?"

"You are so fucking stubborn!"

"Okay, then I'll tell you!"

"Have you ever read a novel called "The Sword of Jade Blood"?"

He turned around and asked with a smile.

Qin Luo pursed his lips slightly, and quickly understood: "Of course. Could it be that what they want to imitate is the Golden Snake Sword?"

The Golden Snake Sword is an odd-shaped sword.

Twists and turns, all kinds of arcs.

Forging is more troublesome than ordinary swords.

Moreover, the level of trouble has increased by more than one level.

Qin Luo had visited the local sword street before, and even in these distribution centers, he had never seen any sword similar to the Golden Snake Sword.

"It's called the Golden Snake Sword."

"However, it's also called the Malay sword. You must have played through the line of fire. The one we played together before was the yellow Malay sword."

"This batch of Malay swords is planned to be used for foreign affairs, but there seems to be something wrong... I don't know exactly what the problem is."

"You definitely don't understand, so let's not mix it up. This is a special case and not universal. Let's look at a more typical one."

Zhang Ziqi looked at Qin Luo and said.

Qin Luo waved his hands.

"If I'm not mistaken, their problem should be that the curvature of the sword body is not according to the design at all, and it can't even be straight."

Ok?
Hearing this, Zhang Ziqi was slightly taken aback.

"You...who are you fooling?"

"Don't give me a book here."

The stalk of "one way" was relatively popular in the school days, and it was serious nonsense.

Qin Luo glared at him, but just said: "Why don't you call the factory manager and I'll tell him, can he speak Mandarin?"

The Golden Snake Sword is a rather atypical sword.

How special is it?
It is so special that there are almost no records about it in history, because forging is too difficult.

The most famous one is in Jin Yong's novels.

As for the aka Malay sword, Qin Luo is not sure about Malay.

But guess, it is estimated that the craftsmen here in Longquan will not be able to.

Naturally, I will.

Zhang Ziqi glanced at Qin Luo with some doubts, hesitated for a moment, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number of the factory manager over there again.

Called twice in a row, but no one answered.

Zhang Ziqi was also persistent and had a bit of tenacity. He continued to dial, and finally dialed through the third time.

"I have a friend who asks you..."

For a moment he didn't know how to describe the problem.

Qin Luo took the mobile phone in his hand, and said in a clear voice: "Hello, is it impossible to solve the problem of uneven internal stress after quenching?"

Hear this...

The factory director on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and his voice suddenly became softer: "Yes, this is the problem right now, who are you?"

"Let me go over and talk in detail later, I can't explain clearly on the phone."

"Okay, okay...haha...that's troublesome. I'll wait for you at the door, just come here."

The factory manager smiled sarcastically, and was instantly convinced.

Being able to explain the problem in one sentence shows that people understand it very well.

There's even, quite possibly, a solution.

The problem of uneven internal stress after quenching is a unique problem of the Golden Snake Sword because of its unique shape.

This situation does not exist during casting, but only after heat treatment.

The core reason is still the furnace temperature and uneven temperature.

hang up the phone……

Zhang Ziqi stared at Qin Luo dumbfounded for a moment.

"My grass!"

"It's beautiful!"

"Damn it, I pretended it for you!"

"You can?"

"Tell me about it?"

Qin Luo laughed, and said in the tone unique to his student days: "My dear son, call Dad, and Dad will tell you."

Zhang Ziqi: ...
