"What do you think of this?" Yang Xiaosan threw a piece of perfect salamander horn forward. Ren Lihuo caught it in a hurry, beaming with joy, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, that's great," "Can you teach me now?" "The two parties were just trading, and Yang Xiaosan was not polite to him. "Of course, Ren will do what he says. " Ren Lianhuo grinned almost to the base of his ears. After playing with the treasure he couldn't put it down, he put it into his storage ring, stretched out his hand and saluted, and said: "General, please follow me. "Current mission: Weapon refining: Seriously learn weapon refining from Ren Lihuo. Reward: Turn on the forging function Difficulty: D+ Glancing at the changes in the task bar, he followed him into a small room, which contained an anvil, a furnace, a blower, and a large iron There are hammers, quenching iron pools, etc. Yang Xiaosan was surprised and said, "Just practice like this?" " He asked out of pure curiosity, but Ren Phosphorus misunderstood and quickly explained: "The general doesn't know something. Ordinary forging weapons are forged like this, and the rumored Heart Fire Divine Refining, It is a higher-level weapon refining method that requires spiritual support, so" "Oh, then you can teach this. "Yang Xiaosan doesn't care, as long as he can complete the task. Ren Phosphorus nodded, pointed to the pile of clay on the side and said: "Ordinary weapon refining starts with mold making. To be more precise, before building a piece of equipment, you You have to know what you want to build. In this process, I usually design the manuscript first, but designing equipment is also a very complicated process and requires a certain understanding of the equipment. There is no way to teach this at once, if the general wants to achieve something. You still need to work harder on your own. " "This is inevitable, you go on. "The concept of planning first and then taking action is correct. Yang Xiaosan agreed. "The general's insight is indeed extraordinary. "Ren Lihuo was not exaggerating. He remembered that when he was learning from his master, he had scorned the design level and had gone through many twists and turns. Yang Xiaosan could accept his theory all of a sudden. It really made him look at him differently. As a person It will be much easier for a layman to learn what others say with an open mind. At first, he was worried that he would be picked on for this or that. ¡°Let¡¯s take a dagger as an example. Once you have an idea of ??what it looks like, you need to remove it. Mold out the general outline, and then build it bit by bit into the look you expect. This is the simplest forging. "Ren Phosphorous Fire paused and continued: "But our requirements for equipment must not be just about appearance. Sharpness, flexibility, strength, durability, characteristics, etc., all need to be taken into consideration during the forging process. To achieve these, you must use forging methods. " "And forging methods can be subdivided into many categories, such as material smelting, hammering methods, quenching and condensation, etc. Some can be finalized when designing equipment, while others must be more careful during the forging process. Therefore, if the general is really interested in forging, he can go to the library to read such books and accumulate more basic knowledge about materials and equipment. . It can be said that the basics of most blacksmiths are similar. The only difference lies in the skill and imagination. " "I can't tell. You're pretty good at summarizing. "Ren Lianghuo's words were very pertinent, and they really seemed to be teaching something, rather than telling Yang Xiaosan that you should do this, and then do this, and then do this again, so that he only knows what is happening but not why. " Ren Lianghuo smiled , pulled away and said: "That's pretty much what blacksmithing is. I can't teach the general anything about my lineage. I hope the general won't be offended just by saying this. " "It doesn't matter, I'm just curious anyway. What else can't be created from scratch? Now that I know how to practice, maybe I can find another way in the future, haha. Yang Xiaosan waved his hand and said: "Come on, teach me how to fix it quickly." " "OK. "Ren Lihuo squatted down, picked a piece of wood at random, took a knife, and whittled it into the prototype of a dagger, and said: "Generally when making molds, you need to leave enough room for modification for subsequent forging, so it doesn't need to be too much. Fine, just a rough mold will do. " Yang Xiaosan followed suit, but obviously, what he cut out with the phosphorus fire was called a piece of wood, and what he cut out was a wooden block. After kneading the soft mud, let the phosphorus fire sandwich the piece of pottery in the middle, knead it for a while, and then use grain After drying, the mold was formed. But what Yang Xiaosan did on the side was a bit horrible. The mold was crooked and skewed, but fortunately, it was hollow inside. "General, don't worry, no one is born with it. Yes, practice makes perfect. "Ren Phosphorus took out the prototype of the wood from the mold. "I'm not in a hurry, it's just a bit embarrassing. "Yang Xiaosan was greatly embarrassed. "Haha! The general is a straight white man, and Ren admires him for being so candid. "Ren Phosphorous Fire took the mold to the furnace and casually threw away two pieces of iron.Said: "The next step is to smelt the materials. This process is simple. Just burn them into molten iron. The key is to calculate the amount beforehand and the different boiling points of different materials to avoid wasting materials." After a while, pour the molten iron. After inserting the mold into the mold, Ren Phosphorus continued: "Then comes the cold mold. This process is also somewhat particular. Some materials need to be allowed to cool naturally, while others need to be cooled quickly. I won't go into details one by one. The general will study it on his own." The filled mold is pushed into the quenching iron pool, and the steam is billowing with a strong smell of decay. If it is not the same, pick it up, smash open the mold, and a small iron block that is exactly the same as the one just cut is formed. "The next step is forging. This is a skill that really requires hard work. It takes less than thirty or fifty years to settle down, and it is difficult to achieve anything." Ren Lihuo took the iron tongs, added fire material, stepped on the blower, and said, "But if the general just If you want to make it look good, it doesn¡¯t take much effort.¡± He burned the equipment red, put it in the anvil, picked up the big hammer, and started banging with the phosphorus fire: ¡°A good blacksmith can make the equipment during the forging process. It is difficult to make good equipment if it is done in one go and needs to be polished afterwards. Only equipment that needs to be polished in one go can become a spiritual weapon. " "What about the immortal weapon?" Yang Xiaosan stared at it carefully. The beating rhythm is fast and slow at that time, well-proportioned, and of varying severity. "Immortal weapons are all about being made from nature." Ren Lihuo grinned and said, "You don't have to ask me about the divine weapons. If I knew, I wouldn't be just a fifth-grade weapon refiner." "Ingenious?" Yang Xiaosan casually said One sentence. "Perhaps, who knows." Ren Phosphorous Fire finalized the equipment in a few clicks, then threw it into the quenching iron pool, saying: "The last step is the quenching tool, which is similar to the cold mold and varies depending on the material." "The forging process of equipment That's basically it. However, some special equipment cannot be refined in this way. For example, water-type equipment is mostly made of materials that cannot be smelted. It must be condensed or refined using the Heart Fire God. I can't teach the general about this for the time being. " Ren Phosphorus picked up the shaped dagger. The blade was as smooth as a mirror, and the edge shone with cold light. As long as the handle was plated, it could be used on the spot. Current task: Equipment refining: independently complete the forging of a piece of equipment. Reward: Turn on the forging function Difficulty: D+ Seeing the changes in the task bar, Yang Xiaosan asked directly: "Can I borrow your place?" "Of course, General, you can use it as you like." Ren Phosphorus pointed to the iron pile in the corner: " You can also use them to practice, they are all worthless things." "Thank you." Yang Xiaosan took off his shirt, revealing his muscles that have been systematically sculpted to perfection. He followed the example of a gourd and first made a crooked device. Then he turned on the fire and held the hammer as if he was eager to try. The funny action made Ren Phosphorus laugh at the side, and he did not forget to point out: "The melting point of the weapon body must also be grasped during forging. If it is burned too much, it is equivalent to a second degree of melting, which will affect the overall structure of the weapon. It can't be melted too low, otherwise it will be difficult to shape. " "Yeah." Seeing that the body of the instrument was already red, Yang Xiaosan picked it up decisively, placed it on the anvil, and then gritted his teeth. boom! There was a loud noise, and the whole room shook. Sparks flew everywhere. Unlike Ren Huo, this was a real explosion. The red-hot iron pieces were smashed into pieces and flew all over the room. The force was so strong. ! "General, you are so powerful!" Ren Phosphorus waved his hand to block the flying red star, and was speechless for a while. "Ahem!" Yang Xiaosan was greatly embarrassed. He looked at his hand and saw that the handle of the hammer had been bent by him. He originally wanted to say that it was useless for me to use even 10% of my strength, but he swallowed it back. With his current physical strength, he would not be injured by these iron fragments. Even if it splashed on him, it would only be slightly hot, and it would be immediately bounced away by the muscles without any injury. "Try to take your time. If you have any questions, you can ask me." Ren Yanhuo said a word and walked out directly. Yang Xiaosan made a new mold according to the original method, and soon it was put on the anvil. But this time, Yang Xiaosan didn't mess around, but slowly increased his strength bit by bit. He didn't try to imitate Ren Lihuo's dazzling tempering method, and modified it bit by bit according to his own ideas. Not long after, he also successfully reimbursed the second device. Many things are like this. It is natural to think about it, but it is extremely difficult to do it. This time it is not broken, but completely knocked out of its original shape by him. It is not as beautiful as when it was in its original state. But compared with alchemy, this forging is obviously much easier to get started. By the third time, he was able to keep the original shape of the device and beat it into a bumpy rectangular object with narrow sides. ?Comparing it with the one that Ren Lihuo had picked out by hand, Yang Xiaosan couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head, threw it aside, and continued to work on the next one. He was not in a hurry. He started to compare with others who have practiced their skills for decades. Is there any comparability? That¡¯s such a lofty goal. He doesn¡¯t have to do anything else. He only needs to punch the thing into shape, and then slowly grind it with a whetstone. This is not an easy task.
