Chapter 11 The Real Oven Method
Zhao Yankui held his job, looked in the direction of the blacksmith shop, and suddenly asked: "Dong Songchang is back, right?"
"I went to rest after I came back, and I didn't see anyone for a whole day."
As Blacksmith Qi spoke, seeing Zhao Yankui's frown, he immediately thought of something and said in a slightly lower voice: "Master, are you worried that he will rob Jiang Lin?"
In addition to the regular tests of skills every year, the blacksmith camp also has assessments for dispatched workers.
The master master in the blacksmith camp is the target of the assessment.
How many jobs were assigned to you in a year and how well you completed them will be used to calculate the general ledger on this day.
If you perform well, you may be promoted; if you perform poorly, you may even lose your position as master master.
Zhao Yankui's work is naturally impeccable. Every time he arranges it, he can finish it on time without making any mistakes.
Otherwise, he would not be listed as a popular candidate for promotion to deputy chief craftsman in this year's regular test.
Although Dong Songchang's skills are not as good as Zhao Yankui's, he has many experts under him, many of whom were stolen from Zhao Yankui.
All in all, his completion rate of job assignments should be pretty good, and he might compete with Zhao Yankui for the promotion of deputy craftsman this year.
Even if he doesn't compete for promotion, once Dong Songchang sees a good prospect like Jiang Lin, he will never let him go.
There are Lin Yuansi's deputy craftsman brother-in-law, and many people are willing to follow Dong Songchang, thinking that if they can get involved with the nobles in the palace in the future, they will be regarded as honoring their ancestors.
Zhao Yankui's eyebrows were somewhat gloomy, and he lost his appetite for a while.
Blacksmith Qi whispered: "I don't think that kid Jiang Lin will follow him."
"Who knows, we thought we could keep those few before." Zhao Yankui looked gloomy, shook his head and said: "Forget it, don't say this, just let him go."
At this time, Jiang Lin was taking a small hammer and hitting the red-hot hammer head.
Thanks to greater accuracy, the art of hammering has been upgraded almost in the blink of an eye.
Warmth flows into the body, and the body's strength is improved again.
I couldn't tell it clearly before, but now I have upgraded two levels in a row, and my whole body looks stronger.
The muscle outlines on his arms are prominent, and he already has the look of a formal blacksmith.
[Skill 2: Tempering Lv3 (Proficiency 0/800)]
[Skill 2: Level 3 moves the weight like a wind, increasing the accuracy of the hammer drop by 60%]
After looking at the changed information, Jiang Lin found a sledgehammer nearby and tried to hit it a few times.
It was finally determined that with Level 3 tempering skills and Level 3 Lifting Weight skills, the accuracy of the hammer drop can reach at least 70-80%.
According to this result, as long as you upgrade to another level, you should be able to hit 100% of the time.
Eight hundred hammers are not many, and a formal blacksmith might be able to hammer this number in one day.
Jiang Lin was not too happy. This upgrade did not improve himself much, and he had to keep up his efforts.
He continued to hold the small hammer and kept hitting the hammer head on the anvil.
There are a total of 103 defects, distributed in various parts of the hammer body. Even if they are all hit correctly, it will still take 103 hits.
What's more, Jiang Lin's accuracy is not 100%, and the hammer head has to be calcined again after it cools down, so the time it takes to come and go is longer than expected.
After about an hour, Jiang Lin finally stopped tapping. He was sweating profusely, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. All the black spots on the hammer in his field of vision were eliminated.
【Hammer of average quality】
This is the final evaluation. It seems simple, but when you think about it carefully, it is completely different from before.
When Zhao Yankui first finished hammering, the prefix was ordinary, but now the prefix is average quality.
Looking at the shrunken hammer in front of him, Jiang Lin couldn't help but muttered: "Isn't it already high-grade?"
The Daqian Dynasty’s weapons, armor, crossbows, spears, and ordinary iron weapons were all divided into many categories.
Among them, ordinary ironware that is not popular is not of high quality.
High-quality iron weapons that have reached a certain level are divided into nine grades, upper, middle and lower. It is said that there are higher grades above, but ordinary people have no chance to see them. They are all legendary magical weapons.
The hammer in front of him was rated as of average quality. Jiang Lin was not sure whether it had reached the level of high-quality products.
After all, he had never seen high-quality ironware in the South Blacksmith Camp. Everything he saw was either ordinary or inferior.
"Try it and see the effect."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Jiang Lin said, put the handle of the hammer on, raised it high, and hit the anvil in front of him hard.
Dang——
The sound was duller than usual, like a stone hitting the pork, not crispy at all.
But when he saw the slight dent on the anvil, Jiang Lin was overjoyed.
Such a heavy anvil might not change even if it was hit with an ordinary hammer for thousands of times, but now a dent the size of a soybean was made with just one hammer.
This shows that the quality of the hammer far exceeds that of the anvil!
Maybe it’s really good!
Jiang Lin glanced at the information out of habit, but was stunned for a moment.
In addition to the improvement of tempering proficiency, the most important thing is that in the level 1 oven method, the gold essence can be collected much faster than imagined.
[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 8.77/100 for the gold essence and 9.7/100 for the fire essence. It cannot be upgraded. 】
If I remember correctly, before re-forging the hammer, the gold spirit only collected 0.18.
Based on the previous calculation of collecting 0.01 gold essence with one hammer, if I smashed more than a hundred hammers, I could only collect a little more than 1 gold essence at most.
But now, the amount of gold essence collected has reached 8.77, which is several times more than expected!
Looking at the hammer with bright metallic luster in his hand, Jiang Lin murmured to himself: "Is it because the quality of this hammer has reached the top grade? Therefore, the speed of practicing the oven method is much faster than normal."
< br>
It is not impossible. According to Zhao Yankui and others, the higher the casting quality, the more useful the oven method is.
Ordinary iron tools only have 0.01 gold essence per hammer. Jiang Lin did not personally participate in the casting. He only eliminated the remaining defects in the later stage and improved the quality of the castings, thus obtaining nearly eight times the collection amount.
No wonder ordinary blacksmiths disdain the oven method. They are not capable of casting items above grade, and of course they cannot appreciate the benefits of the oven method.
Jiang Lin slowly turned his head and looked at several other pieces of ironware that had not had time to eliminate defects, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
If the defects of these iron tools are eliminated, wouldn't it be possible to collect 100 gold essence very quickly?
