Chapter 49 Quality Improvement
In front of the stove, Jiang Lin stared at the iron pieces seriously. He did not choose to burn eight pieces together, but one piece at a time.
After coming to the South Blacksmith Camp for so long, except for the first half month, Jiang Lin has not been so "slow" in efficiency for a long time.
But no one would laugh at him, because everyone knew that Jiang Lin would join forces with Master Zhao Yankui to build a new set of iron tools for regular tests.
In Jiang Lin's field of vision, the pig iron information in the furnace was constantly changing.
[Material quality improved by one percent]
[Material quality improved by 4%]
【Material quality improved by 10%】
……
An apprentice asked in confusion: "Why does the master want to re-forge the ironware? Doesn't the original one work?"
A blacksmith replied: "The periodic test has a time limit and allows you to forge two weapons within one hour. The better the iron you use, the faster the casting speed will be, and you will be able to save more time to make corrections."
"I see." The confusion on the apprentice's face did not disappear, and he turned to ask: "Master Jiang has ready-made ironware, just use it."
The blacksmith was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "This is why we can never catch up with the master."
Any other blacksmith would have thought the same as this apprentice, using Jiang Lin's set first and then returning it after using it up.
Besides, the set of iron tools itself was made by Zhao Yankui. He was not only the master of Nan Blacksmith Camp, but also Jiang Lin's master. No one would say anything.
But Zhao Yankui didn't use it, but wanted to build it again.
The reason is simple, just because he is a master and Jiang Lin's master, he cannot use his apprentice's things.
It is said that it belongs to Jianglin alone, that is, it is cast in molten iron and cannot be changed.
Even if he loses to others in the regular test, Zhao Yankui will never break his promise.
Somewhat pedantic, but also admirable.
The blacksmith glanced at Jiang Lin again, then kicked his apprentice and said, "You kid, imitate Jiang Lin. You could burn eight pieces of iron at the same time, but now you only burn one piece for his master. Can you keep up with this?"
The apprentice is full of grievances. He has a good intention. Why did he kick me? You just envy his master!
Who could say otherwise? All the blacksmiths in the Southern Blacksmith Camp who accepted apprentices envied Zhao Yankui.
Jiang Lin, who was meticulous in front of the stove, has become the potential standard for everyone to accept apprentices. Without Zhao Yankui's supervision, they also have higher requirements for their respective apprentices.
For a time, many apprentices grimaced as they were "abused" and were miserable.
Not long after, Jiang Lin's eyes narrowed, and the quality improvement of pig iron had reached a peak of 25%.
He quickly took out the bright red pig iron from the furnace and rushed to the hammering area.
"Master, let me help you shape it first, and then I'll leave it to you later," Jiang Lin said.
Zhao Yankui didn't hesitate much, handed him the hammer and said: "Okay."
He is not afraid that Jiang Lin will do anything bad. His apprentice's forging skills are comparable to those of a formal blacksmith.
Besides, if you just get into shape, there won't be much of a problem.
With Zhao Yankui's permission, Jiang Lin picked up the hammer and started banging on the pig iron in front of him.
In the field of vision, the information about pig iron is constantly changing.
[The quality of pig iron with many impurities has been improved by one percent]
[The quality of pig iron with many impurities has been improved by 3%]
[The quality of pig iron with many impurities has been improved by 5%]
……
With the sound of clanking, this piece of pig iron was shaped into the shape of a hammer head at an extremely fast speed, and the quality was also constantly improving.
It wasn't until the quality was improved by ten percent that it finally stopped moving.
Jiang Lin looked at Zhao Yankui and said, "Master, it's okay."
"Okay, good job. Your hammering is getting better and better. The hammer is no worse than any old blacksmith." Zhao Yankui praised a few words and came over to pick up the hammer.
The hammer head that has been shaped only needs to be leveled with a small hammer to see where there are any defects.
Zhao Yankui hammered down and immediately paused.
This piece of iron... "Master, is there any problem?" Jiang Lin asked quickly.
This is the first time he has been so serious about forging iron since his fire-making skill was raised to level 7. He is not sure how much impact it has on the quality.
Zhao Yankui turned to look at him with a slight doubt in his eyes.
As soon as the weight fell, he could feel that the quality of this piece of iron was so high that it was almost unlike ordinary iron.
Is it because of Jiang Lin?
It's impossible. No matter how good the fire is, it will hardly improve the quality.
As for the process of his shaping, I personally watched it, and I can only say that it was quite satisfactory.
Could it be said that there is something inside this piece of iron?
"There's no problem, it's just that this piece of iron is so good. If it's really hammered out, it will definitely be of high quality!" Zhao Yankui smiled.
Jiang Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing went wrong.
Zhao Yankui didn't say anything more, and just used a small hammer to knock.

When it comes to making a hammer, the shaping process is the most tiring, and the subsequent leveling is a test of personal skills.
With Zhao Yankui's skill level, it is no problem.
It didn't take long for the hammer head to be initially completed.
When Jiang Lin took it back to the furnace and heated it until it was red, Zhao Yankui took it and put it in water to quench it.
There was a sizzling sound, and water vapor evaporated.
Even Blacksmith Qi and others couldn't help coming over to see the final result.
Under the spotlight, Zhao Yankui took the hammer head out of the water. The surface was black and shiny, and it was of high quality at first glance.
Blacksmith Qi suddenly pointed at the hammer head and exclaimed: "Entropy pattern! There is entropy pattern! The eighth grade!"
As soon as these words came out, the blacksmiths who had not come originally came running over.
It is already difficult to forge high-quality iron, and it is even more difficult to reach a higher grade. No one in the South Blacksmith Camp had such ability before.
Jiang Lin also took a curious look, and sure enough he found a dim line on the corner of the hammer head.
Blacksmith Qi's face was filled with excitement and he said: "Entropy patterns can only appear above the eighth grade. Master, your skills have improved again!"
Zhao Yankui stared at the hammer head, surprised and confused.
Last time I made ironware for Jiang Lin, a set of eight pieces was already very good. This time I hammered it a few times and got another eight pieces.
Did you make progress so fast?
But he couldn't think of any other reason. Before Zhao Yankui could come to his senses, he was surrounded by Blacksmith Qi and others, all congratulating him on making an eighth-grade hammer.
With the help of this hammer in this regular test, you will be able to move forward bravely and look at everything!
Jiang Lin didn't step forward to join in the fun, he just smiled softly. It seemed that the quality improvement was very effective.
He silently left the crowd and returned to the furnace to continue burning the second piece of pig iron.
Zhao Yankui glanced at him in the crowd and saw him leaving, the confusion in his eyes deepened.
Have you really made progress?
What happened next made the South Blacksmith Camp completely boiling.
Small hammer, anvil, scissors...
All kinds of iron tools necessary for a blacksmith, after passing through Zhao Yankui's hands, all reached the lower eighth grade.
There were too many congratulations, and the blacksmiths' mouths and people were a little numb.
Zhao Yankui stood blankly next to the iron tools, a little unable to believe that these were all made by him.
Blacksmith Qi looked at each piece one by one, and finally turned to Jiang Lin and shouted excitedly: "Jiang Lin, stop lighting the fire, come and see your master's set of iron tools. I have never seen this in our southern blacksmith camp in my life." Someone can use mortal iron to create a complete set of lower eight grades!”
But before he finished speaking, he exclaimed again: "Oh my God, Jiang Lin, why have you grown taller again?"
I saw the young man in front of the stove standing up. His height had reached about 1.9 meters, and he had grown stronger again!
The tempering skill has been upgraded.
