Starting Off With A Blacksmith Workshop

Chapter 30 Folding and Forging Completed

Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua recalled the laboratory in the school.

That metal-material tester that he had only seen once.

A metal testing machine appeared in the room just as Li Zhenhua thought of this equipment.

This time, Li Zhenhua confirmed that the equipment he had seen once could also be instantiated.

In that case, could the equipment that he had never seen before also appear?

What equipment had he not seen before? Then, Li Zhenhua thought of a large steel furnace.

However, nothing happened in the space this time, just like before.

It seemed like there was no way to materialize this equipment that he had never seen before in this virtual laboratory!

With a little regret, Li Zhenhua adjusted his thoughts.

Now that this device could materialize equipment that he had seen before, it was also a very impressive function.

In the future, it would be equivalent to having a private laboratory.

Thinking of this, Li Zhenhua immediately felt that he was really awesome.

In the laboratory, Li Zhenhua was experimenting with various functions, such as whether the materialization of the blacksmith furnace could be ignited, whether the metal testing machine could test the pulling force of the materials, and so on!

This experiment continued until the next morning. Just as Li Zhenhua was testing the ductility of a piece of metal in the room, the cry of a rooster could be heard from this room.

Hearing this crowing sound, Li Zhenhua knew that this was the rooster that often woke him up.

‘Damn, I can’t believe I can hear this chicken of plague here. It’s really haunting me!’

At this moment, Li Zhenhua also knew that he should get up, but he was still in this laboratory. How was he going to get out!

Li Zhenhua had just thought of this when he retreated from the laboratory.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the roof was still bare except for a light tube. “Eh? I’m out? That simple? But why didn’t I react when I said I was coming out?”

Li Zhenhua then wondered if he could still enter since he had come out.

“Get in!”

After thinking for a moment, the scene in front of Li Zhenhua changed again.

He was back in the virtual laboratory, and it was still the very empty room with nothing in

it.

“Okay, its great that I can now get in and out!”

The virtual laboratory was not very useful to Li Zhenhua now. He did not have any work that could be used in the laboratory.

The rooster had crowed. It was time for him to go out and work.

Get up, wash, go downstairs, work out. When you’re done with your personal business.

Li Zhenhua came to the courtyard and turned on the electric heater.

He turned on the cameras on the two fixed cameras of Guo Shugui and switched them to the camera function.

The steel that has already been folded and forged twice yesterday was stuffed into an electric heater,

Soon, the red-hot iron was taken out again and smashed on the air hammer.

Clunk, clunk, clunk.

The iron block was deformed and turned into the shape Li Zhenhua wanted.

Li Zhenhua completed one more time. When the raw materials were folded and forged,

Two people walked in from outside. Li Zhenhua didn’t even look up.

He knew that these must be his two assistants.

As expected, Guo Shugui immediately got into the mood and took out his recording equipment to face Li Zhenhua.

Liu Xiaodong also came to Li Zhenhua’s side and began his own work.

Two days passed just like that. The materials also completed the 15th folding forging under their joint efforts.

Through these 15 folds, a piece of forged steel was placed in front of Li Zhenhua.

The patterned steel had been folded fifteen times, over thirty-two thousand seven hundred layers, making it a beautiful pattern.

“Huazi, is this patterned steel? I heard that others say that it’s called Hundred Tempered Steel?

I think we’re just like that now, after fifteen rounds of folding and forging,

There are still more than 80 times before the Hundredth Refinement!”

Guo Shugui leaned on the patterned steel and carefully observed it before asking his question.

He saw that there were also patterns on the steel. These patterns were different from the Damascus leather patterns and were not as clear as that.

“Hahaha, Guoguo, don’t tell me you really think that Tempered Steel has to be folded and forged a hundred times!

Then you were really wrong. If this stir-fried steel could be folded a hundred times,

Not to mention anything else, just the metal fatigue of the material alone could make the quality of this steel extremely poor.

This Hundred Refined Steel was not meant to be folded a hundred times, but a general value.

This time we made this steel, which only happened fifteen times,

And in my experience, this is already the limit. One more fold and the steel will be useless.” When Li Zhenhua heard Guo Shugui’s words, he immediately explained the meaning of the Tempered Steel to him. It would save them the embarrassment of not knowing this when they went out later.

The two people who heard Li Zhenhua’s explanation immediately became lackeys.

“Thank you, Brother Zhenhua, for your explanation. You’re awesome,” the two of them shouted at the same time.

“Alright, don’t be like this. I’m embarrassed!” Li Zhenhua pretended to be shy and replied to the two of them.

After hearing Li Zhenhua’s words, the two of them were disgusted by Li Zhenhua’s sudden change.

A feeling of wanting to vomit but being unable to vomit came to the two of them.

“Alright, stop fooling around.

Now that we have the materials to make the knife, it’s time to make the knife.”

When Guo Shugui and Liu Xiaodong heard Li Zhenhua’s words, they also stopped playing around.

“Huazi, let’s begin then.

“The earlier we finish, the earlier we can rest,” Liu Xiaodong said to Li Zhenhua.

The iron was sent into the electric heater again, and it was soon red-hot.

Li Zhenhua took out the red-hot iron and placed it on the anvil. Liu Xiaodong was still standing at the side holding the sledgehammer.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Guo Shugui aimed the camera at Li Zhenhua one moment and at the deformed iron block the next.

Liu Xiaodong’s sledgehammer landed on the metal block, and Li Zhenhua’s small hammer hit the anvil.

Guo Shugui couldn’t help shouting, “Eighty! Eighty! Eighty! Eighty! Forty! Eighty! Eighty!…”

Liu Xiaodong was swinging his sledgehammer when he suddenly heard Guo Shugui shout.

It almost made his waist flash. Hearing this voice, he could already picture it in his mind!

Liu Xiaodong put down the sledgehammer and said to Guo Shugui, “What! What! What!”

Li Zhenhua looked at the changing style of the Spring Festival Gala skit and suddenly felt tired.

“I say, can you two be serious? We’re doing serious business here,

If the two of you want to act in a skit, can you wait until we have free time?

Your style has changed too quickly!”
