Chapter 252 The First Forging
Xu Feng smiled secretly in his heart: "It seems that these dwarf children are about the same age as Tuka.
"The appearance of the dwarves is indeed not in line with human aesthetics. Even the children look like middle-aged uncles and are full of beards. It is really difficult to tell their age.
Just looking at their strength, it can be seen that these dwarves are not at the cosmic level, and are even much weaker than Tuka. It can be determined from this that they should be about the same age.
"Hundreds of ferocious beasts for junior blacksmiths?" A dwarf woman opened her mouth in shock. At this time, many people who were still blacksmithing came over. One of the middle-aged people laughed and said, "Tuka, can you It’s really good to hunt down hundreds of junior blacksmith beasts by yourself.”
"Tuka's potential is very high. He can be ranked in the top ten among his peers." Another middle-aged dwarf also nodded and said.
At this time, a strong middle-aged dwarf with dark skin, wearing only trousers and with his upper body bare, looked at Xu Feng with deep eyes, and then looked at Tuka: "Tuka, where does this dwarf behind you come from? How come I’ve never seen it?”
Xu Feng didn't care at all about the strong middle-aged man. The strength of this strong middle-aged dwarf was pretty good, and he was probably as strong as a Domain Lord-level strongman, but in front of Xu Feng, it was still far from enough.
Hearing this question, Tuka said respectfully: "Uncle Mantu, I encountered a group of cosmic beasts when I went out this time. I almost became the beasts' excrement. It was Master Huolu who came to save me. Back to the village!”
The middle-aged dwarf named Mantu placed his left fist on his right chest, leaned slightly and said: "Mantu, on behalf of Tuka, thanks you, my friend. I wonder what my friend's name is?"
Xu Feng smiled slightly and then gave his pseudonym: "Haha, brother Mantu, my name is Huo Lu!"
"Brother Huoluo, on behalf of the entire Tucson Village, I am grateful to you for saving Tuka. Come, go to my house and let me serve you the best wine!" Mantu spoke very enthusiastically.
Xu Feng shook his head and said, "No need, I just want to stay in Tucson Village for the time being. I will go to Ironforge after a while."
Hearing the word 'Ironforge', Mantu's attitude became slightly more respectful: "If there is anything wrong with you, Ironforge, you can ask someone to tell me. In Tucson Village, I, Mantu, can manage almost everything."
"Master Huolu, Uncle Mantu is a senior blacksmith in our village. Only the village chief has a slightly higher status than Uncle Mantu." Tuka said to Xu Feng.
Xu Feng also imitated the etiquette of the dwarves and put his left fist on his right chest and said: "If something happens, I will definitely go to you."
"Tuka, please take me to your residence." Xu Feng looked at Tuka.
Tuka smiled and said: "Okay, come with me."
Mantu shouted to the onlookers: "You continue to forge, don't waste time here."
A group of people continued to forge, or went back to their residences to study. Xu Feng and Tuka came to Tuka's residence, a very ordinary house.
The house has only one floor and three rooms. Usually Tuka lives in a room on the left, and the room in the middle is the living room, used for entertaining guests. The room on the right has become Xu Feng's current residence.
"Lord Huo Lu, if you have anything to do, just ask." Tuka bowed slightly to Xu Feng and said.
Xu Feng nodded and smiled: "I just have something to trouble you with. I want to read your tribe's experience in refining weapons. Of course I will pay you."
"Experiences of refining weapons?" Tuka was slightly startled. There are not all dwarves who are not good at forging. Is Master Huolu one of them? Then he responded: "Sir, the tribe's forging experience is placed in the weapon refining hall. It is open to the public. No payment is required. If you want to go, I will take you to see it!"
"Okay, then go now, I have nothing to do now."
Xu Feng followed Tuka to the largest stove-shaped building in the center of the tribe.
"Sir, this is the tribe's weapon refining hall. Although the information inside is open to the public, please do not damage it at will. After all, it is the hard work of our predecessors."
"Okay, I understand, you go and practice."
"Okay, sir, if you need any instructions, please come to me at home!"
After Xu Feng saw Tuka walking away, he made sure that there was no one around, so he quietly separated the Dark Lightning Pengying clone to hunt for the Heart of the Earth. Xu Feng entered the weapon refining hall and read the information inside.
One day later.
Xu Feng closed a book with unknown material and praised it.
"The forging method of the dwarves is indeed amazing. It does not rely on any technological means, it is just simple smelting and forging, but it can forge force weapons!"
"What's even more amazing is that adding earth patterns can actually have an effect similar to enlightening spirits, adding various effects to weapons, such as increasing sharpness, hardness, or weight!"
"It's time to try this secret method to see if it can add other secret patterns to weapons!"
Looking around, there was no one around. He was worried that others would recognize his inability to forge. After thinking about it, Xu Feng made a decision, "Let's test it in Jiang Lanjie."
Within Jiang Lan’s realm.
Xu Feng summoned Lei Shanju and took out several metals inside.
Sitting cross-legged, Xu Feng still had a set of B-grade metal smelting formulas in his mind.
"The forging method in this underground world is completely different from the outside world. It is similar to the ancient forging method on earth. The first step is to refine the ore, and the second step is to heat various metals to the point where they can be fused, and then fuse them into a weapon embryo. By beating the weapon embryo to remove impurities and increase the degree of material integration, the third step is quenching.”
Referring to this forging method, Xu Feng couldn't help but admire the ancestors of the dwarves.
Although the steps seem simple, metals in the universe have different melting points, densities, and properties. It is not easy to fuse various metals into a brand new metal.
The ancestors of the dwarf clan have long explored the properties of various metals. For example, the solubility difference between cold-grained iron and flaming crystal gold, which is also a B-grade metal, is more than 50,000 degrees. If they are fused together, they will only lose their properties. It turned into a pile of scrap metal that was not even as good as Grade A metal.
However, in a specific semi-fusion state, the hardness and toughness of C-class metal can be exerted by forging and combining with a semi-helical structure.
There are tens of thousands of metal types in the universe that Xu Feng alone knows about. However, the ancestors of the dwarf race developed millions of methods of fusion of metals without the support of high-tech civilization. They relied on the entire dwarf race to study forging and research day and night to achieve the current results.
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Feng understood why dwarves' forging knowledge was open to all dwarves. In addition to forging training, some dwarves were studying metal proportioning methods.
It turns out that the wisdom of the dwarf ancestors has long been clear that they want to develop more powerful forging technology. They cannot just rely on a certain genius or a certain group of geniuses, but need to combine countless ideas and research from the entire group to have the unique technology now. Forging technology.
"If the dwarves want to forge, they need the three laws of fire, gold and water. Isn't the fire-eyed water ape clone good at these three laws? Maybe using the fire-eyed water ape clone to forge will have unexpected effects!"
With a thought, the fire-eyed water ape clone appeared next to Xu Feng.
"First, let's refine the simplest first-order force weapon. Use B-grade metal black iron crystal and several A-grade metals. As long as it can be completely fused, it can form the most simple first-order force weapon, a forging hammer. ”
With a thought, a dwarf standard furnace and supporting tools appeared in Jianglan Realm!
When Xu Feng was scanning the tribe, he used the Wutong Sacred Tree clone to analyze the composition of the furnace and ordinary forging equipment. He found that they were only made of materials below B-level metals. With Xu Feng's current ninth-level cosmic level strength, he could easily analyze it. Completed, it can naturally be easily manifested in the Jiang Lan world.
The clone of the Fire-Eyed Water Ape did not immediately start forging weapons. Instead, he sat down calmly and recalled all the knowledge he had read in the dwarf's books.
This assignment may seem redundant, but it plays an incomparably important role.
Each step was circling in his mind. It wasn't until Xu Feng finished all the simulations and was sure that he had mastered all the details that he opened his eyes and stood up calmly.
Although it was the first time he started forging, Xu Feng felt neither sadness nor joy, and was completely immersed in an ethereal state.
He opened the furnace, took out the black iron crystals and black iron, and put them in according to the heating order and quantity in the book.
Xu Feng's mental power did not relax for a moment, and the metal activity of the two materials in the furnace was under his control at all times.
Slowly, he discovered a strange change, that is, each metal seemed to have different vitality. These energies had their own characteristics, and it was impossible for them to intersect. But under the smelting of the flames, these vitalities slowly changed slightly.
Some vitality is still as high as that of a thousand-year-old mountain, without any wavering. However, the activity of some metals is not stable and has begun to blend with each other and become a new activity.
Of course, since there are many types of metals, Xu Feng is actually just a beginner in forging. Although he senses various differences, he does not know what these different energies represent.
After a long time, when Xu Feng completed all the processes and smelted for an hour, Xu Feng felt that the activity of various materials had reached the maximum, and used specific secret techniques to wrap it with the original force of the flame attribute to maintain the maximum vitality. temperature.
Until all the materials are taken out, then the various materials are forged into a weapon embryo using a special beating method, and then put into the furnace.
Suddenly, a fiery red light came out from the gap, and the temperature on the furnace increased little by little.
Xu Feng's thoughts suddenly became highly concentrated. Although this was his first formal forging, what he forged was not a high-end weapon. But for him, it is an extremely important matter, and he is unwilling to fail no matter what.
The mental power invaded the furnace layer by layer, and slowly, he discovered the benefits of his affinity for the law of fire in this regard. After being blessed by the dwarf clan's secret method, it seems that the mental power and the law of fire attribute are particularly easy to pass through the furnace, causing minimal obstacles, and it is even much easier than adding the original gene.
The dwarves do not have spiritual masters, only warriors, so they can generally only use secret methods to add the law of fire to the genetic energy for observation.
This feature alone puts Xu Feng much ahead of the dwarves in fusing materials.
The more he understood the forging process, the more he was shocked by the dwarves' forging technology.
It is possible to forge B-grade metal into a first-order force weapon without technology. Although it is just a blank slate weapon, it is still extraordinary.
Under Xu Feng's induction, the metal and flames in the furnace were undergoing strange changes.
Various activities have quietly undergone various changes under the catalysis of the power of fire. Various metals seem to have different changes.
At this moment, wonderful changes had taken place in his body. One of his hands gently pressed on the furnace, and the scorching temperature seemed to have no effect on him at all.
After coming into contact with the furnace, his mental power absorbed all the changes inside.
As the medicinal properties and vitality of various metals are continuously stimulated, the mixed hodgepodge of metallic vitality becomes increasingly chaotic. Although Xu Feng had tried his best to figure out the principles, he still found nothing in the end.
After a long time, he finally gave up.
The knowledge about blacksmithing is extensive and profound, far beyond what he, a newbie who has only been exposed to for a short time, can distinguish. If he really wanted to fully master it, it would be impossible without more than ten years of research and experimentation.
If Tuka was still here at this moment, he would be surprised to find that when Xu Feng was forging, the number of furnace inspections was obviously much less than that of him. And this is one of the most important conditions for advanced forging in the future.
When forging low-level forging, there is naturally not so much emphasis, but if you want to forge high-level weapons, the forging process is extremely complicated. You cannot take out the furnace to check the situation. You can only rely on genetic energy to explore the situation in the furnace.
Therefore, even among the entire Tucson Village, only Tuka's uncle Mantu has the ability to forge third-level force weapons.
Finally, after two hours of forging, Xu Feng's eyes brightened slightly, and he vaguely felt that the most important step of merging into a weapon embryo was about to come.
However, at this moment, he had a feeling that the power of fire in the furnace seemed to be too weak.
This feeling was so sudden. It was a feeling that suddenly appeared when he sensed the vitality of the weapon embryo.
In just a moment, he had already made his choice.
Using the secret method of stimulating flames of the dwarves, using the power of the flames, he stretched out his hand and patted the furnace gently. The temperature of the flame suddenly doubled, and even the red color on the entire furnace seemed to become much brighter.
Xu Feng concentrated on sensing the changes in the metal, and a smile finally appeared on his lips.
