Chapter 96 The East Blacksmith Camp exploded
The previous breakthrough and the damage to the furnace left the blacksmith shop in a bit of a mess.
After everyone had a good meal, they finally recovered.
Seeing Jiang Lin remove the hammer handle, Blacksmith Qi went over and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I have nothing to do. I want to temper the iron tools again." Jiang Lin said.
Blacksmith Qi's eyelids twitched when he heard this. He had just burned down a stove, and you want to come again?
Jiang Lin saw what he meant and said with a smile: "Master Qi, don't worry, I won't use such a high temperature this time."
Ordinary stoves cannot withstand temperatures of more than 2,000 degrees Celsius. If these iron tools have to be tempered again, I am afraid that another batch of stoves will be damaged.
Blacksmith Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Actually, you don't need to think too much about Yuan Bingqi. Even if he comes here to be a master, I won't..."
"Master Qi." Jiang Lin interrupted him and said seriously and solemnly: "Since I came to the South Blacksmith Camp, there have been very few people who have been nice to me. Apart from Master, Master Wei and others, they belong to you and How many people are there, Master Tang?”
"I am not a saint, and I cannot be truly selfless. If the people close to me cannot benefit from it, no matter how good the development is, it is meaningless to me."
Blacksmith Qi had nothing to say. After a long time, he said with a look of relief on his face: "Okay, you have the final say."
This sentence can be regarded as setting the tone for the identity relationship between him and Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin smiled lightly as he watched Blacksmith Qi leave.
It is true that the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by a spring of water.
But with Zhao Yankui leaving, if South Blacksmith Camp wants to maintain stability, it needs to unite these veterans first.
As long as these people don't cause chaos, there will be no chaos in the South Blacksmith Camp.
Taking the hammer head with the wooden handle removed, Jiang Lin walked towards the stove and started a new round of calcining and tempering.
Before the foundry department assigned new jobs, he wanted to upgrade the quality of his iron tools.
The fire rose, and the hammer head burned in a flame of about 1,500 degrees.
[Material quality improved by one percent]
[Material quality improved by 4%]
【Material quality improved by 10%】
……
At the same time, Yuan Bingqi also returned to the East Blacksmith Camp.
Unlike the South Blacksmith Camp which only had one donkey cart, there were six donkey carts in the East Blacksmith Camp!
Yuan Bingqi went directly to get one, and then started moving things from the house.
Several blacksmiths and apprentices saw it when they passed by and ran over: "Master Yuan, do you want to help?"
Yuan Bingqi nodded. He had a lot of stuff, and it would probably take a long time to move it alone.
Several people helped carry the things into the car very diligently, but the more they moved, the more something felt wrong.
There are too many things on the car. In addition to iron tools, there is also a pile of casting materials.
That's all. Why do you even have bedding, clothes, and drinks?
A blacksmith couldn't help but ask: "Master Yuan, what do you want to do by moving all the things on the truck?"
"Moving."
"Moving?" The blacksmith looked around and saw that no new house had been built recently: "Where are you moving to?"
"South Blacksmith Camp." Yuan Bingqi tightened the rope tightly, tied a knot skillfully, and then cupped his hands to several people: "Thank you for your help, see you tomorrow."
After that, he led the donkey cart and left.
An apprentice was stunned and asked: "Master Yuan, what do you mean... that he is going to the South Blacksmith Camp?"
"I heard that the South Blacksmith Camp is recruiting people recently."
"But he is the master of our East Blacksmith Camp!"
Several people stood there, a little stupid. If you go out for a while, you won’t be from the East Blacksmith Camp when you come back?
They looked at each other and saw full of surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
Looking at the donkey cart that was getting further and further away, a thought came to everyone's mind. It seemed that something big was going to happen to the four blacksmith camps that had not changed in a hundred years!
A blacksmith reacted quickly and immediately turned around and ran towards other houses, shouting as he ran: "No! Master Yuan has gone to the South Blacksmith Camp!"
People came out of many houses and asked in confusion: "Who is Master Yuan? What are you doing in the South Blacksmith Camp?"
"Master Yuan Bingqi! He is joining the Southern Blacksmith Camp!" the blacksmith shouted.
Everyone was surprised when they heard it, and they suspected that they had heard it wrong.
The dignified master of the East Blacksmith Camp wants to join the South Blacksmith Camp for no reason?
There was also a blacksmith who knew that the South Blacksmith Camp was preparing to recruit people. At this moment, his mind suddenly became active, and he exchanged vague glances with other blacksmiths who had ideas.
At first they were too embarrassed to leave, thinking that it would be easy to be embarrassed if they didn't look up and see each other again.
But now that even the master master Yuan Bingqi has gone, what do ordinary blacksmiths like them have to worry about?
Some people also feel that the benefits of the South Blacksmith Camp are insufficient after all, and they do not make as much money as the East Blacksmith Camp.
But these words were immediately despised by others: "The reason why the South Blacksmith Camp has less money is because there is less work. If they really recruit a lot of people, how much less can they have than us?"
"None of this is important. What's important is that the man named Jiang Lin is appreciated by the Chief Secretary."
"I heard from people in the South Blacksmith Camp that Master Jiang Linjiang has a very close relationship with the generals from the Nanling Camp."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Really or not? If you can gain friendship with the border army, wouldn't you be able to walk sideways in the Foundry Department?"
Several masters from the East Blacksmith Camp were furious when they found out about this.
"How could this Yuan Bingqi just walk away like this? It's simply ridiculous!"
"Who knows what he is thinking, maybe the Nan Blacksmith Camp has given Tian a great benefit?"
"It's just that the Southern Blacksmith Battalion snatched the position of deputy craftsman, but now they want to snatch him! No, I have to go to the Foundry Department to find the master craftsman's opinion!"
"Go together, go together, how can we sit back and watch them act like this!"
Several masters left the blacksmith camp angrily and went straight to the foundry department.
The other blacksmiths were talking a lot, and their hearts were in turmoil for a while.
Jiang Lin didn't know that his casual words caused the Dong Blacksmith Camp to explode.
At this moment, he was re-sharpening the hammer head. With one hammer blow, a large amount of impurities were squeezed out.
[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 8%]
【Hundred Refining Level +1】
[The quality of pig iron with many impurities has been improved by 15%]
【Hundred Refining Level +1】
……
Amidst the monotonous clanking sound, the quality of the hammer head improves at an alarming rate, and the number of defects is also rapidly reduced.
After Jiang Lin quenched the hammer head, when he looked at it again, there were already two entropy patterns on the hammer, indicating that it had reached the lower seventh level.
[A hammer of average quality with a total of 95 defects]
Jiang Lin nodded secretly. It was indeed very useful to practice again.
After a slight hesitation, Jiang Lin chose to continue eliminating defects. He wanted to know what level he could achieve if these defects were eliminated.
Ding Dong——
Ding Dong——
After just a dozen hammer blows, one more entropy pattern appeared on the hammer's body, reaching the level of the sixth grade.
This shows that even if the defects are not eliminated, the casting made by Jiang Lin is already very close to the sixth grade.
And there are still nearly eighty defects left!
