Chapter 7 Speeding Up
Little did he know that Jiang Lin was like a mirror, his talent would definitely attract the attention of Master Zhao Yankui.
It's not unusual to want to take him on as a disciple.
Jiang Lin also knew that having a backer in this strange place would make everything he did easier.
But he will never take the initiative to speak, not only because he has enough confidence, but also because there seems to be no difference between taking the initiative to become a disciple and taking the initiative to accept a disciple. In fact, it is the opposite, and the difference cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
Moreover, Fire Spirits are easy to collect, so you might as well settle down and fill up the progress of Fire Spirits first.
After that, go to the tempering area and concentrate on collecting gold essence.
There is another reason, that is, fire-making proficiency is about to reach a new height. Jiang Lin wants to know how different the level 6 fire-making skills are from level 5.
Regarding future planning, Jiang Lin always adheres to an attitude of taking things slow and taking no haste.
Two days passed like this. In the evening, Jiang Lin took out the fire tongs from the stove, but did not go to the hammering area immediately.
The familiar heat flows into the body, bringing indescribable changes and a sense of comfort.
[Skill 1: Fire Level 6 (Proficiency 2000/5000)]
[Skill 1: Level 6 proficient, can perfectly control the furnace temperature within 1,500 degrees, increase the fire efficiency by 20%, and improve the quality of casting materials by 10%]
[Skill 4: Level 1 oven method, the body is the furnace, the mind is the hammer, the gold essence and the fire essence are the materials, and the golden body is tempered to be immortal. The current progress is 0.06/100 for the gold essence and 7.3/100 for the fire essence. It cannot be upgraded. 】
Jiang Lin's eyes lit up when he saw the changed information.
The changes brought about by level 6 fire-making skills are quite big. Not only does the control of the furnace fire temperature increase by as much as 500 degrees, but it also comes with two new amplification effects.
Needless to say, the fire-burning efficiency is good. In the time it took to burn ten pieces of pig iron in the past, it can now burn twelve pieces.
The most important thing is that it can improve the quality of casting materials by ten percent!
For Jiang Lin, who is determined to practice the oven method, this effect is more important than anything else!
The higher the quality of the casting, the better the effect of the oven method, and the two complement each other.
"In two days, we collected 7.3 fire essences. The speed is a bit slow." Jiang Lin frowned slightly, not satisfied with the progress.
Is it possible to control multiple furnaces at the same time to increase the speed of collecting fire essences?
There are many formal blacksmiths in the blacksmith camp now. Although the apprentices can keep up with the fire making speed, the quality is not high.
Many cracks appear after being hammered for a few times, and they have to be calcined again.
If you can control two or three stoves at the same time...
Out of caution, Jiang Lin did not go to Zhao Yankui immediately.
Instead, he waited until everyone else had finished their work for the day and only he was left in the blacksmith shop, then he turned on the three stoves and lit the fire at the same time.
Only after trying it and confirming that it was feasible would he ask Zhao Yankui for more permissions.
Make decisions before taking action, know how to stop and gain something.
But Jiang Lin didn't notice that Master Zhao Yankui, who had been holding back for two days, was watching from a corner outside the room.
Zhao Yankui was an impatient person and wanted to wait for Jiang Lin to come to him for advice so that he could accept him.
But Jiang Lin seemed to have taken the wrong medicine in the past two days, burning the fire like crazy and not hammering, which made him very uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yankui planned to have a good talk with Jiang Lin as a reason to ask for the return of the booklet.
Do you still want to make progress?
But before he could go in, he saw Jiang Lin lighting three stoves at the same time, and he suddenly became suspicious.
What is this kid going to do?
It is not difficult to ignite three stoves at the same time. The real difficulty is how to accurately control the temperature changes after burning the pig iron.
Only pig iron that has reached the optimal temperature is suitable for casting.
Jiang Lin doesn't have any psychological pressure. He can do his best. If he can't do it, he will just collect the fire essence slower. There is no loss.
Six pieces of pig iron were stuffed into the stove, and he sat a little further away, staring at the mouth of the stove with bright eyes. Zhao Yankui looked outside and looked puzzled. Was he going to start a fire?
But what kind of success can be achieved by burning three stoves at the same time?
Of course he could imagine that Jiang Lin might want to burn six pieces at the same time, but this was simply impossible.
Even if the same amount of charcoal is added to the three furnaces, the temperatures will be different due to differences in tuyere and furnace body materials.
In addition, the impurity content of each piece of pig iron is different, and the final result cannot be generalized.
If you want to control three furnaces at the same time, you must ensure absolute control of the flame temperature, and then quickly identify the changes in the pig iron burning inside.
It sounds easy to say, like an assembly line, but it is extremely difficult to actually do it.
Even Zhao Yankui himself did not dare to say that he could burn three stoves at the same time.
If it were that easy, there would be no need for so many apprentices to stay in the fire area. One blacksmith could be randomly assigned to control hundreds of furnaces.
"Doesn't this kid understand the principle of biting off more than he can chew? He is indeed talented at making fires, but he is too impatient." Zhao Yankui commented secretly, and finally made a judgment.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"This move is absolutely impossible!"
But he didn't plan to stop Jiang Lin immediately. Instead, he looked forward to him experiencing this failure.
When the time comes, if you come forward to give advice, it will be like giving help in the snow.
Jiang Lin, who was staring at the mouth of the stove, did feel some pressure, but it was much less than imagined.
"The perfect control within 1,500 degrees brought by level 6 fire-making skills can make the temperatures of the three furnaces almost exactly the same. In this way, you only need to pay attention to the changes in these pig irons."
"The higher the fire temperature, the faster the calcination speed, and some impurities can even be eliminated in the process. No wonder the quality can be improved by 10%."
"If you want six pieces of pig iron to come out of the furnace at the same time, you need to change the fire temperature in the furnace according to the amount of impurities. This will speed up the energy consumption, but the efficiency will be higher. You need to find a trade-off balance point."
While burning, Jiang Lin summed up his experience.
Not long after, his eyes narrowed and he quickly stepped forward and took out six pieces of pig iron at the same time.
The dazzling cherry red color is not shocking when six pieces are put together, but if it is made by one person using three stoves at the same time, the meaning is completely different.
Not to mention the South Blacksmith Camp, even if the four major camps in the southeast, northwest and southeast were put together, there would be no second one that could do this.
"It's not bad. It's not much worse than a single stove. Just controlling the furnace temperature separately will consume too much energy. I'm afraid it won't be able to run continuously at the end of the day. If the fire temperature is kept consistent, the energy consumption will be reduced, but the efficiency will be reduced. , it is estimated that another stove can be added.”
Looking at the six pieces of bright red pig iron, Jiang Lin took a breath.
If nothing else, at least I'm sure I can do this.
Calculating that time was almost up, he put out the fire and cleaned up without any further delay.
The burned pig iron was also returned to its original position, and only after ensuring that everything was correct did he leave the blacksmith shop.
After Jiang Lin left half a stick of incense, a burly figure flashed in.
Zhao Yankui strode to the stove and easily found a few pieces of pig iron that had not yet completely cooled down.
After pondering for a moment, he took the pieces of pig iron to the anvil and struck them one by one with a small hammer.
Every time he knocked, there was no sound. After the six pieces of pig iron were knocked all over, Zhao Yankui's silence was deafening.
Three furnaces can burn six pieces of iron at the same time, and the quality is much higher than other apprentices!
Let's not talk about how to hone his talent. At least in the art of making fire, Zhao Yankui couldn't find anyone more awesome than Jiang Lin.
evildoer!
A complete monster!
Zhao Yankui clenched his fist slightly, took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became extremely firm.
He doesn’t want the dignity and status of a bullshit master!
Jiang Lin must be his disciple, even if the King of Heaven comes, I can’t take him away!
