Chapter 319 The Grandfather¡¯s Successor

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is not an easy task to make four swords for the four swordsmen before the sword fight begins in front of the palace.  The first is the quantity requirement, the second is the time requirement, and finally the quality requirement. The four swords must be of equal level to demonstrate fairness.

    But in this era without standardization, in this era of complete manual work, it is good to complete four swords on time, but it is too difficult to have corresponding requirements for quality.

    The sword can be said to be an accidental acquisition by the master of the swordsmith. It cannot be copied. If you want to copy it, the quality must not be too good.  Therefore, the swordsmith who accepted this task was under great pressure. He worked day and night to make swords, and his hair almost fell out.

    But it is still difficult to fulfill all the requirements. Two swords that are similar in appearance are completely different on the inside. When they are cut against each other, there are always advantages and disadvantages, so the requirement of fairness cannot be achieved.  And fairness is the most important thing. If the four swordsmen cannot have a fair duel due to the quality of the sword, it is the swordsmith's responsibility.

    Since you can¡¯t solve this problem yourself, you can only find someone in Linzi City who can solve the problem.

    In Guan Zhong's front yard, Chunying's father was also thinking about how to forge four identical swords. He said to himself: "The temperature of the furnace, the quality of the ore, and even the strength of the beating will affect the quality of the sword. There is a condition change.  The forged swords are very different. Even if they look the same, they are completely different on the inside. How can we make four good swords of the same quality at the same time?"

    ¡°It¡¯s not difficult to make a good sword, but it¡¯s difficult to repeatedly cast a good sword. After all, mass production is impossible without standards.

    Simply put, casting cannot be standardized.

    During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many famous swords emerged, such as Yuchang, Juque, Ganjiang, Moye, Zhanlu, etc., but there was only one of these famous swords, and there was no mention of four swords of equal quality appearing at the same time.

    In an era without standardization and condition monitoring, this is even more difficult.

    All the swordsmiths were thinking hard, including Chunying. She recalled the contents of "Tai Gong Sword Record" and thought that the temperature of the furnace could be solved by making a large furnace. As long as the furnace was big enough, four swords could be made in one furnace.  There is no difference in the temperature of the flame.

    The problem is still a matter of the ore and the level of the blacksmith. How to extract iron of comparable quality?  There is a record of molten iron juice in "Tai Gong Sword Record". If all the ores are smelted into iron juice, then the iron juice will be divided into four parts, and the quality should be similar.

    Then there is the beating method. It will definitely not work with your hands, but if you use a heavy object to drop it at the same height, then you can ensure that the weight of each hammer is the same.

    In this way, the three problems of temperature, ore, and beating can be solved, and four similar swords can be made in one go.

    "Tai Gong Sword Record" begins by saying, regardless of talent, use it according to the rules.  It is to eliminate the level of the craftsman and use objective conditions to allow any craftsman to make a good sword.

    Chunying is not strong enough?  It doesn't matter, as long as the weight is pulled to a certain height and dropped, there is no need to worry about the unstable strength of the hammer.  Make sure the force of each hammer is about the same.  In "Tai Gong Sword Record", there is also a comparison of weight and height, so we only need to draw a table and let people follow it.

    "I have a way." Chunying said excitedly. She could solve a problem that all the swordsmiths in Linzi City couldn't solve. This sense of accomplishment was unprecedented.

    Seeing Chunying dancing happily, Xinfang couldn't bear to hit her, but she still reminded her: "Even if you can solve a difficult problem for everyone, you can't tell it. Don't forget your identity."

    Chunying was poured cold water on her face, but she still had a smile on her face, as if he was the only one to solve a difficult problem that the whole class couldn't solve. This sense of accomplishment is not something that can be easily eliminated.  Although she couldn't share it with everyone, she was still happy. She said to Xinfang, "I still have you. It's enough to share it with you."

    Xinfang was infected by this innocent and romantic girl, and couldn't help but smile: "You, you, you are still so optimistic even though you are trapped in a cage." He could see his tragic future with red face and gray hair at a glance.  It's a bleak ending, but Chun Ying can still enjoy the hardships. I don't know if she is stupid or strong.

    Looking at Chunying's innocent appearance, Xinfang suddenly thought that maybe he could help Chunying. During this period, she has been learning sword dance. Her body has become lighter and lighter, and she can fly over walls and fly over walls. Although she doesn't know if all dancers are like this, but  Xinfang did learn a big skill.

    "Tell me in detail how you solved the problem."

    Chunying danced and told the other party the method of batch sword making that she had learned from "Tai Gong Sword Record". Although she could not leave the backyard, it was also a kind of happiness to share it with her friends.

    "After Xinfang memorized the content, he found a silk scarf to cover his face, climbed over the wall and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.Arrive at the Sword Forging Hall.

    At this time, the masters in the sword-making hall are all thinking hard. None of these sword-making masters can think of a standardized method for making swords, and they cannot eliminate the variable factors.

    At this time, a masked woman carrying a scent suddenly broke in, startling several swordsmiths.

    "Who are you?" Although the swordsmith is not a swordsman, he can fight, and there is no shortage of weapons here.

    Xinfang was also very nervous, but she pretended to be calm and said: "I am the sword slave of the Taigong Sword Furnace. On the order of the Taigong's successor, I came here to give you guidance."

    Taigong Sword Furnace?  Taigong's successor?

    The swordsmiths, who were holding sword blanks and standing ready for battle, looked at each other in confusion. They naturally knew that Taigong must refer to Jiang Shang, Jiang Taigong, the founding king of Qi.  It's just that I haven't heard of the Taigong Sword Furnace, let alone any of the Taigong's successors.

    "What can you tell me about the puzzle?"

    "I know that you are currently struggling to make four swords of equal quality at the same time. Taigong's successor has cracked the sword-making method and specially asked me to teach it to you." This is Xinfang's way of helping Chunying. On the one hand, it can protect Chunying.  On the other hand, the pure results can be publicized.  Chunying was indeed Taigong's successor, so Xinfang didn't brag about it.

    "Please tell me." The swordsmiths put down their weapons and were willing to listen to Xin Fang's solution.

    So Xinfang went through the three steps of making a furnace of four swords, dividing the iron juice evenly, and hammering with heavy objects one by one. The swordsmith was very happy when he heard this.  The doubts disappeared immediately, the other party must be the sword slave of Taigong's descendant. Who else but Taigong's descendant could come up with such an ingenious method?

    These three steps are not complicated to put it bluntly, but it is not easy to think of this idea. Maybe the swordsmiths can't think of it even if they think about it.  After the method was proposed, all swordsmiths could understand it, which meant that there was nothing mysterious about the three steps. What stood out was a question of thinking.

    "Wonderful, wonderful!" The swordsmiths knew that there was no problem with the four swords, because the uncontrollable factors had been resolved, so they could make four swords that were almost the same, and the slight differences could be ignored.  .

    Xinfang saw that the swordsmith was easy to understand, so he immediately ducked in without giving them a chance to ask any more questions.

    But the news that Taigong¡¯s successor not only disappeared, but also became more and more exaggerated. In the end, it turned out that Taigong¡¯s successor could make a magic weapon that can cut iron as fast as clay, which seemed to blow the Taigong¡¯s successor to the sky.
