I did one thing to the extreme

Chapter 185 Competing with Traditional Forging Techniques

Looking at the comments, Wang Liang muttered to himself, "Why don't I join in the fun?".

Forget it!

Still don't join in the fun.

As soon as he makes a move at that time, he will directly kill him in seconds. There is no suspense, so it is not interesting. Let's forge his blood drinking mad knife honestly. Maybe the next progress bar will directly activate the skill about "knife".

He happened to be a ruthless Northwest swordsman with a blood-drinking mad knife.

Where the knife passes, no grass grows, why is there no grass grow?Because in today's society, we can only cut down the flowers and plants on the side of the road, and dare not even cut down the trees, for fear of being caught. Of course, he will not be caught, but that's not good, try to follow the rules Doing things inside will save you a lot of trouble.

Turn off Douyin, open a farming article I was chasing recently, read the latest updated chapter in a few seconds, and leave a message, "The donkeys in the production team dare not rest like you, so update me quickly", and then go to The forging workshop on the roof continued to forge knives.

a knife.

Two knives.

three knives.

After forging the tenth knife, I was actually hungry. This is easy to do. Forge a steel ring with a steel rod, activate the ring skill, and throw it on the table on the ground. The surrounding space is like a wave, swinging around.

A pot of beef stew with carrots appeared on the table.

Wang Liang said silently, "Thank you for the gift of nature", and took out a pair of disposable chopsticks from the drawer under the table. Don't ask where the chopsticks came from, it must be left over from Ying Zheng's takeaway here.

There is one more thing that Wang Liang doesn't know, that is, this pot of stewed beef with carrots is also stewed by Ying Zheng.

Looking at the empty stove.

Ying Zheng felt like he was going crazy, hey, he managed to stew a pot of beef, and said that he would eat it when he was tired from work, but he never expected that the time to go out to "find" a drink was gone, not even the pot !

At this moment, he just wanted to sing, "Where did all the beef go?".

Of course it entered Wang Liang's stomach.

After eating and drinking enough, he continued to forge the knife.

In this way, after a whole week of "liver", I felt that my arm was about to fail, and the progress bar only increased to [376/10000].

Wang Liang tried to be lazy, bought some ready-made knife embryos, burned them red, hammered them a little, reheated, quenched, let cool, polished, and installed the handles. As a result, the progress bar did not move, and he turned his previous After the forged knife is hammered a few times, quenched, let it cool, remove the burnt handle, and reinstall the handle.

The progress bar is still nothing.

After that, I racked my brains and thought of many ways. For example, first use a power hammer to hammer out some knife shapes, and then hammer it yourself. I hammered it twice for myself, but it was still useless, and the progress bar still didn't go up. Then I asked Ying Zheng to develop an exoskeleton robotic arm for himself, and use the robotic arm to assist him in forging knives. It still didn't work, and the progress bar still didn't go up.

In the end, Wang Liang found out that even a little laziness can't be stolen, and he has to "liver" himself.

no way!
For the blood-drinking mad knife in his heart, and to trigger the next inactive progress bar, Wang Liang could only go up the "liver" progress bar in a daze.

Blacksmith shop.

Su Anran looked at the newly bought second-hand power hammer and said, "Master, there is no need for manpower now, you should get familiar with the power hammer, and you won't suffer a disadvantage during the competition, otherwise people can hammer it with a power hammer just a few times, you are still here!" Hang Chi Hang Chi, relying on artificial hammers, the speed is too slow."

Xu Gang took a sip of tea and nodded silently.

Times have changed, and people need to change too.

Ten minutes later, Xu Gang looked at the knife blank in his hand, then at the second-hand power hammer in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, the speed is fast, and it saves effort. If I knew it was so easy to use, I should have Buy it early".

Just as he was talking, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the blacksmith shop, bowed with a smile, and said in broken Long Guo dialect: "Hello, Mr. Xu, my name is Murakami Tianye, from Plaster Country, I am a blacksmith, I heard that you are a master of forging Longquan swords, so I came here to ask for advice."

After speaking, he bowed again.

Xu Gang looked at the Plaster Countryman at the door, and instantly thought of his grandfather. He heard from his father that his grandfather was bayoneted to death by the Plaster Countryman.

Horse rider, please ask your grandma for a lesson.

I really want to stab you to death with a poker.

After scolding in his heart, Xu Gang said coldly: "How to ask for advice?".

"I would like to discuss traditional forging skills with Your Excellency"

People from Plaster Country are "beating" at the door, of course Xu Gang couldn't back down, and said coldly: "Where should we learn from?".

Murakami Tianye looked around and said, "This is all right."

"Xiao Ran, light another stove"

"Row"

The blacksmith shop still uses a traditional coal stove. Compared with the electric stove used by Wang Liang, the temperature is all controlled by oneself, which requires higher technical requirements. Dad, I will let you know today that your dad will always be your dad!".

During the lighting of the stove, Murakami Tianye changed his clothes, even brought an apron and gloves, obviously coming prepared.

Xu Gang was not idle either, he found two stacks of steel bars, and later he would use one of the stacks of steel bars to forge an authentic Longquan sword.

Murakami Tianye suddenly pointed to the power hammer in the shop and said, "Mr. Xu forged it by hand?".

Xu Gang didn't even think about it, he said: "Of course, a sword, only by hammering it out by yourself, can you cut iron like mud, and cut hairs and hairs."

"Been taught a lesson!"

Ten minutes later, when the flames from the furnace turned blue, the sword forging competition officially began.

Both of them chose the forging method of soft steel sandwiching hard steel, so that the sword body is flexible and not easy to break. When sharpening the sword, the inner hardness can just be exposed. There is a crack.

However, this method of clamping steel requires very high forging technology. No matter whether there is a problem in any link, such as temperature and forging, it is easy to make the soft steel and hard steel not fully fused, resulting in stratification.

After all, Xu Gang was old, and he was obviously not as strong as Murakami Tianye when he was forging and blending, but after all, he had been playing iron all his life, and he would have used skill for a long time, and there was no problem in forging and blending.

Manual forging is slow, after a while, it has to be reheated in the furnace.

Su Anran saw the master holding his back, sweating profusely, walked over, and quietly asked: "Did you twist your waist?".

"No, don't talk nonsense"

As Xu Gang spoke, he took out the sword embryo from the carbon furnace, placed it on the anvil, and continued to forge it.

"ding ding dong"

The rhythmic voice was like a magic song, which disturbed Murakami Tianye. He accidentally hammered off the knife embryo, but at the critical moment, he pinched it back with tongs.

This time he came to participate in the forging knife competition, one is to win the championship, and the other is to step on the traditional forging skills of Longguo to promote his Murakami katana sword.

It is said that the art of forging cold weapons in Plaster Country comes from Dragon Country, which he admits, but, through the efforts of the ancestors of Plaster Country, the traditional hand-forging skills have already surpassed that of Dragon Country.

In the words of Longguo, it means that the blue is better than the blue.

Now the samurai sword has become a famous sword in the world and is sought after by countless cold weapon enthusiasts. However, the people of Longguo have long abandoned this traditional skill, and at the same time abandoned the culture behind this traditional skill.

Today, he will use a samurai sword to defeat the Longquan sword, and prove to the world that the traditional forging skills of Plaster Kingdom have already surpassed that of Dragon Kingdom.

After more than two hours, the sword embryo and knife embryo were hammered into shape at the same time, and tempering began.

Su Anran saw the master leaning against the wall with his waist supported, sweating profusely, as if washed with water, she couldn't help but walked over and whispered: "Why don't we compare each other!".

Xu Gang's face darkened, and he shouted in a low voice, "Shut up."

After speaking, he took a sip of tea and began to pay attention to the temperature in the furnace, with a painful look on his face.

After a while, the two took out the sword embryo and the knife embryo almost at the same time, put them in water for quenching, most people choose oil quenching for quenching, put them into the oil, the temperature does not drop so fast, even if the temperature of the embryo is not controlled Well, it doesn't get crispy easily either.

In this way, it is stable, but the hardness is not enough, and the blade is easy to chip.

Water quenching is different, the temperature drops quickly, the hardness is high, and the blade is not easy to crack, but once the temperature of the embryo is not well controlled, it will become very brittle after being taken out, and it will break if it is slightly chopped.

Pros and cons.Sometimes, it also depends on the material, the material is different, and the quenching method selected is also different.

The sword embryo and the knife embryo were pulled out of the water almost at the same time. Su Anran stood behind the master and took a look. It was very straight without any bend.

Start the last step, sharpen the knife, sharpen the sword.

This step is the most labor-intensive, and manual grinding will take at least three or four days. In order to decide the winner as soon as possible, the two chose to use a belt machine, a knife and a sword, to grind on both sides of the belt machine, and sparks flew everywhere in an instant.

Su Anran found two bundles of bamboo mats to test the sharpness of the knives and swords, and two iron bars as thick as little fingers to test the hardness of the knives and swords.

An authentic Longquan sword will not break when it is chopped like an iron bar.

With a slight chop, the bamboo mat will be split into two halves.

In today's era full of hot weapons, it seems nothing. In ancient times, it was a sword that was hard to buy, and most people would never see it. According to the current words, it is absolutely high-tech Weapons and forging methods are top secret.

With the help of a belt sander, the grinding was very fast. It took less than half an hour to sharpen the knife and sword. The last step is to install the hilt and hilt.

What Xu Gang chose was the wooden hilt that he had made before, and he just installed it directly.

Murakami Tianye took out a piece of leather, a rope, and a small bottle of glue from his pocket, glued the leather to the handle of the knife, and then wrapped the rope round and round, and a very classic plaster katana was ready.

"Mr. Xu, I think you have no physical strength, let this gentleman test it!"
