Chapter 54 Level 4 Blacksmith
“Okay, Xiaotian, these presidents are busy with everything, so we won’t waste their precious time.”
Zhenhua spoke up and started to enter today’s story. theme.
The fire on the forging bench has been lit, and the flames have raised the temperature in the whole room by several degrees.
Qiangu Qitian came to the forging table, where three selected metals were already placed.
Zhenhua led everyone to the observation room. Before leaving, Mu Xi raised her fist to cheer for Qiangu Qitian.
After meeting Qiangu Qitian on the first day, Mu Xi never had the thought of surpassing Qiangu Qitian.
She heard from her father, Mu Chen, that Qiangu Qitian had super forging talent, even surpassing Zhenhua back then.
Zhen Hua, that is a master craftsman.
Mu Xi never thought that one day she would be able to become a divine craftsman. Her biggest wish was to become an eighth-level blacksmith like her father.
When she heard that Qiangu Qitian had a high probability of becoming a divine craftsman in the future, she felt very happy about it.
Qiangu Qitian responded with a faint smile.
After everyone left, Qiangu Qi Tiancai observed the metal placed in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually solidified.
"President, are you a little cruel to your apprentice?"
So many presidents are gathered here, but the only one who can be called president is Zhenhua.
The speaker was the president of the Blacksmith Association from Gengxin City.
The association he is in charge of is also the most economically powerful association in the southern part of Douluo Continent.
Without him, there is mine.
The metal resources of the original Douluo Continent are not as rich as those of the Sun Moon Continent that was later merged.
It’s just that the exploration and mining level of the original Douluo Continent is too low.
After the Federation unified the continent, the metal resources buried underground were exploited in large quantities, and the old metal capital once again burst out with vitality.
Zhenhua said: "You can't make a weapon without cutting jade. As a disciple of Zhenhua, how could you be stumped by such a small difficulty."
Qiangu Qitian looked at it with the corner of his mouth twitching. The three pieces of metal in front of him were what Zhenhua called a "little difficulty".
According to the normal operation of the fourth-level blacksmith assessment, one should be randomly selected from ordinary metals, intermediate metals and rare metals for Thousand Forging.
The common, intermediate and rare here are the forging difficulty of the metal, not the practical value.
But what was placed in front of Qiangu Qitian was surprisingly all rare metals!
Among them, the one with relatively low forging difficulty is called Chen Yin.
The remaining two pieces, one is called Tianxing Iron and the other is called Fine Gold.
Not only are the three metals extremely difficult to forge, they also require the forger to have extremely high levels of control.
After thinking about it for a while, Qiangu Qitian decided to start with the easy ones and then the difficult ones, starting with the "simplest" Chen Yin.
While the heavy silver was being put into the furnace for heating, Qiangu Qitian took out two forging hammers from Wushuang.
The forging hammer is red in color and is only about the size of two fists, but each hammer weighs a terrifying three hundred kilograms.
The metal used to forge the hammer is called molten hematite, which is a fire-attributed metal.
It is one of the most suitable metals for fire attribute soul masters to build mechas and battle armors. It is also the first high-grade rare metal forged by Qitian in the ages.
As for why it is a fire attribute... we have to start with the forging of Qiangu Qitian that day.
When Qiangu Qitian was about to perform Thousand Forgings of rare metals for the first time, Mu Xi looked at him eagerly.
Qiangu Qitian was a little confused, so he asked: "Sister Xi, why are you looking at me like this?"
Mu Xi asked pitifully: "Little Brother Tian, can you choose to melt hematite for the first time? Thousand forgings of rare metals?”
Qiangu Qitian was puzzled, so he heard Mu Xi continue:
“I want you to help me forge my battle armor in the future. Wuhun is the radiant sun with the attribute of fire.”
...Thus, Qiangu Qitian possessed this pair of molten red iron forging hammers.
After the blood sacrifice, Qiangu Qitian became the true master of the pair of forging hammers. Not only that, he also gained a forging characteristic - echo.
When Qiangu Qitian hammers down, the concussive force of the metal will continue to rebound internally, sending out bursts of responses, achieving the terrifying effect of one hammer being equal to five hammers.
In the original work, Tang Wulin's Thousand Forged Silver Hammer also has similar characteristics and is called the Die Hammer.
When one hammer falls, it will have the effect of three hammers from an ordinary forging hammer.
Five minutes later, Qiangu Qitian took out the heavy silver from the furnace and fixed it on the forging table.
Without any prelude, he directly raised the forging hammer and smashed it down to start his performance.
Every time the hammer falls, a faint golden light will adhere to the heavy silver.
These golden lights are not the effect of Qitian's number one soul through the ages, nor are they the amplification of the golden element dragon soul, but a way of using his spiritual forging.
Now, he has been able to perfectly control his spiritual forging talent and apply it to every blow he makes, rather than the last one.
This has many benefits. It not only allows him to better grasp the rhythm of forging, but also enhances his understanding of forging.
Dang, Dang, Dang...
When the tenth hammer fell, a layer of metallic luster flashed on the heavy silver.
This is the special effect completed by forging into steel.
"It's amazing. At such a young age, he completed the Hundred Refinements with only ten hammers! Even more powerful than Zhenhua back then!"
Bo Yun was a little shocked. This was the first time in so many years that he saw Bi Zhenhua also needs outstanding young people.
The rest of the people's faces were more or less shocked, and they couldn't help but sigh, Zhenhua has accepted a good disciple.
No way, who calls someone a master craftsman?
Zhen Hua was a little dissatisfied and said: "Uncle Master, what are you talking about? The forging hammer this kid uses is better than mine, okay? I only had the reverberation effect of the four times increase."
Along the way of forging, Zhenhua has his own pride.
Even if Qiangu Qitian in the future will definitely surpass him, that is still a matter of the future.
Now, he is still number one.
Bo Yun just smiled and did not refute.
The forging is still going on. With each hammer drop, the volume of the heavy silver will shrink by one point. Metal impurities continue to seep out of the metal, and are then directly affected by the temperature of the surface of the molten hematite forging hammer. reduced to ashes.
When reaching the critical value of the metal, Qiangu Qitian chose the most reliable forging technique of three consecutive taps, allowing Chen Yin to complete the Thousand Forgings in a peaceful state.
After the success of the Thousand Forged Sinking Silver, Qiangu Qitian put the Tianxing Iron into the furnace to heat and calcine, and then came back to create the parts.
He had no intention of leaving himself any time to rest.
According to the metallic properties of Chen Yin, Qiangu Qitian made it into a movable part of the mecha's knee joint.
This is not a difficult task for Qiangu Qitian.
After completing the casting of the parts, Qiangu Qitian took out the Tianxing Iron without saying a word, and followed the same steps as before.
Then comes the adamantine...
When the last part of the jet nozzle of the mecha engine made of adamantine is completed.
Qiangu Qitian could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, feeling a big stone falling in his heart.
Level four blacksmith, done.
