I did one thing to the extreme

Chapter 186
"He is my apprentice!"

"It doesn't matter. I heard that the people of Longguo are the most honest. He will definitely not cheat just because you are his master."

Su Anran glanced at Murakami Tianye coldly, and said: "Our people in Longguo are not like people from some countries. On the surface, they look like dogs, and they look like that. Behind the scenes, one is more sinister than the other. cunning!".

As he spoke, he walked up to Murakami Tianye, took the samurai sword in his hand, and waved it at the arranged bamboo mat. With a sound of "噗", the bundled bamboo mat broke immediately. I have to admit that this sword is indeed good.

Whether it is in terms of sharpness or grip, it is at the top level.

The blacksmith in this plaster country still has two brushes.

Su Anran took the samurai sword again, pointed at the iron bar on the table, and slashed hard. With a "bang", the iron bar also broke in response. She turned the knife over and checked the blade, and found a slight gap.

Murakami Tianye who was standing next to him also saw it, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and became extremely gloomy, as if water was about to drip.

At this time, silence is better than sound, Su Anran didn't say a word, handed the samurai sword to Tianye Murakami, took the Longquan sword in the master's hand, turned around and slashed, there was a sound of "Sen", and when the sound of the sword sounded, the upper half of the bamboo mat fell from the sword. The incision slipped, and the cross-section was extremely smooth. Then he turned around quickly and slashed at the iron bar on the table. He heard a "thump", and the iron bar was cut in half. He picked up the sword and began to check the blade. It was intact. inch, without a gap.

Murakami Tianye stared at the Longquan sword in Su Anran's hand for a few seconds, took out five red bills from his coat pocket, put them on the table, said "this is money for materials", and turned around with the samurai sword Left the blacksmith shop.

Xu Gang, who had been standing upright, suddenly bent over, with a painful look on his face.

Su Anran quickly helped Master to sit down, frowned and said, "Wait a minute, I'll call you Doctor Liu."

"Old man! It's useless"

Looking at the short knives piled up in wooden frames, Zhang Dong stretched out his hand, touched Wang Liang's forehead, then touched his own forehead, looked at Wang Liang who was reading an online novel with a confused look, and said, "I don't even have a fever. , why do you keep hitting the knife?"

As he said that, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "You don't read too many historical web articles, and you want to travel to ancient times to become a blacksmith?".

"Can you have a little imagination, I finally traveled to ancient times, just riding a horse in order to be a bitter blacksmith?"

"Then what are you doing with so many knives?"

"You'll know then"

Wang Liang said, put away his mobile phone, returned to the workshop, and continued to forge the knife. After thousands of times of swinging the hammer, his right arm has become a "unicorn arm". In the competition, just slap him down, regardless of how fat the opponent's face is or how high his defense is, the slap will knock out all his back molars.

"jingle bells, jingle bells"

When the rhythmic metal percussion sounded again, Zhang Dong let out a breath and went downstairs.

In the following week, Wang Liang's forging speed became faster and faster, and he could forge a qualified short knife in two to ten minutes. If it didn't take time to heat the steel blank, he could be even faster.

When the progress bar practiced [Forging Knife: 620/10000], he let out a long breath, walked out of the workshop, sat on the sofa, and poured Lei Bi vigorously. It was red and very beautiful, but Wang Liang was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. This knife forging skill was the most difficult skill he had practiced so far. After a day of "hammering", he was so tired that he almost collapsed.

In the past, I had to look at my phone for a while in bed to fall asleep. Now, the quality of sleep is super good, and I can fall asleep as soon as I touch the pillow. I don’t know how I fell asleep.

Also, the appetite has become so large that it is almost catching up with Ying Zheng.

Every time he eats, it is Ying Zheng's turn to say that he should not overeat and pay attention to a balanced diet.

All the fat on my body has disappeared, and all my muscles have changed. Since I was not fat, my body shape is a bit like Bruce Lee in the movie.

On this day, Wang Liang forged ten short knives in a row. When he was resting for a while, he came across another news about the knife forging competition.

The contestants of Longguo announced their withdrawal due to a waist injury.

Subconsciously clicked on the comment area, wanting to see what the netizens said, and it really "fried the pot".

Forging knife enthusiasts: "Damn it! What's the situation, how come I was injured at a critical moment!".

Boiling Yangyang's father: "Isn't it because he was afraid of losing the game, made up a reason for being injured, and retired on purpose?".

The sea and the sky: "It's over, the lid of Ou Yezi's coffin can hardly be held down. He must have never imagined that thousands of years later, in the place where he forged the peerless sword, several foreign blacksmiths would come to show their prestige."

Blacksmith shop.

"ding ding dong"

The sound of rhythmic metal knocking continued to be heard outside the door.

A thin and lean young man was standing by the anvil, beating a red knife embryo, and leaning on a recliner opposite him was a strong old man. The old man had a cloth around his waist, and his face was exposed from time to time. A look of pain.

Master was injured and couldn't participate in the competition. Su Anran originally wanted to replace Master to participate in the competition, but he was not qualified to participate in the official competition, so he could only sign up for the preliminary competition half a year later. He wanted to break out of the preliminary competition and enter the official competition. won the championship.

It proves to the world that the traditional forging technology passed down by the Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years is not inferior to the traditional western forging technology, and even if it declines, it is better than them.

Winning the championship in this competition can also put the cold weapon he forged into the World Cold Weapon Museum for viewing by cold weapon lovers all over the world. Su Anran wants to put the Longquan sword he forged into the World Cold Weapon Museum.

Let the cold weapon lovers all over the world see that the sword of Longguo is the best.

Now he is forging a traditional Miao knife, the blade is slender like a seedling, so it is named Miao Dao. Some people say that it is the ancestor of the samurai sword in Plaster Country. Because the shape is too similar, there are still differences, Miao Dao The blade is straighter and wider, the handle is thicker and longer, and its lethality is stronger. Zeng Jin Qi Jiguang's army was equipped with Miao Dao.

Cutting people is like chopping vegetables.

This knife is also a fan's order, only the blade is polished, not sharpened.

The knife blank was hammered, tempered, and quenched. Just after the knife blank was clamped out of the oil and was about to see if it was straight, a blond Westerner walked into the blacksmith shop, looked around, and used a mouthful of extremely bad Longguo Then he said: "Hello, I am a member of the Free Country Swordsmiths Association, Jameson, I like the culture of the Dragon Kingdom very much. I heard that there was a man named Ou Yezi here thousands of years ago who forged a peerless sword. The famous sword is called Shengxie, and now the Longquan sword here is inherited from Ou Yezi, I want to see if the Longquan sword is really that strong."

Su Anran tried her best to listen to what Jameson said, frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Who told you that there is a Longquan sword here?".

"It's the master blacksmith of Plaster Country, Murakami Tianye. He said that the Longquan sword forged here is invincible in the world. Even my carefully forged 5160-layer stacked Damascus knife is no match. I brought some [-] steel and wanted to forge the Longquan sword. Try it out with your master blacksmith"

As Jameson spoke, he took out a stack of steel sheets from his handbag.

"This dog thing, Murakami Tianno!"

Su Anran cursed secretly in his heart, he had heard that the Plastering Chinese people had a strong desire for revenge, and it was true, he lost the game, refused to accept, and let Jameson come to challenge, is this to start a wheel war?

As the saying goes, if you have been injured for a hundred days, you will definitely not be able to let the master go up to the competition, but you can't be timid to fight. If you still retreat, you can afford to lose this person, but you can't afford to lose the Longquan sword.

Su Anran turned her head to look at her master, and said coldly: "My master is injured, so I'll compare with you."

Jameson looked Su Anran up and down, and said with a smile: "You are a young blacksmith, I am afraid you are not my opponent."

"Is it an opponent? You will only know after the comparison. How do you want to compare?"

"Same as Murakami Tianye, using the most traditional method, only when sharpening the knife, with the help of a belt sander, and at other times, all use human power"

Su Anran didn't speak, but nodded, and started to light another coal stove.

Ten minutes later, when the flame in the coal turned blue, he said "start", took out the mild steel and hard steel, clamped them with tongs, put them into the furnace, and started heating.

Jameson did not heat the steel sheet immediately, first stacked the mild steel and hard steel together, held it down with electric welding, welded a steel bar the size of a little finger at the end, held the other end of the steel bar, and put the welded stacked steel sheet together , into the furnace.

This method is called the stacked steel method in Longguo, also known as Baisteelmaking. The forged steel is very strong in terms of flexibility and hardness.

However, it is extremely difficult to rely on human hammering. The temperature and hammering force must be controlled very well, so that the soft steel and hard steel can be fully fused.

After the steel in the furnace was heated, Su Anran began to forge the Longquan sword by sandwiching hard steel with soft steel. Jameson put the red-hot stacked steel on the anvil, found the largest hammer, and started forging beat.

"When, when, when"

Sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of metal colliding came out of the blacksmith shop and resounded throughout the street.

Xu Gang picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and shook his head slightly. The outcome of this match had been decided, and Su Anran was still a little tender after all. When the other party mentioned the Damascus knife, he knew that this free countryman wanted to use it. For the steel stacking method, if he was more than ten years younger, he would definitely compete with him to see who is better at the steel stacking method, but unfortunately, he is old and useless.

He only hammered a Longquan sword, and his waist was seriously injured.

Ugh!
Xu Gang sighed secretly, and began to observe Su Anran's forging movements.

This kid has improved quite fast, but there is still a certain gap compared with this old blacksmith in the free country.

After more than two hours, the sword embryos were forged at the same time, put into the furnace and tempered.

After returning to the fire, Jameson chose oil quenching, and Su Anran chose water quenching.
