Chapter 141 The upper level is equal to the middle level treasure
Blacksmith Qi lay on the ground, carefully examined the test stone, and also tried other weapons.
Turns out, the test stone was fine.
That's the thing about swords.
Blacksmith Qi stood up and looked at the sword with a strange expression: "Master Jiang, is this really the second grade?"
"It should be." Jiang Lin is not very sure. After all, there is still an entropy pattern that has not appeared, and with the sharpness +2, it is very different from the ordinary second-grade.
"If you can cut through the test stone with one sword, even a precious soldier may not be able to do it." Blacksmith Qi said.
Jiang Lin smiled, flicked the sword with his fingers, and said, "What if we upgrade it to another level?"
"Upgrade to another level?" Blacksmith Qi was stunned for a moment: "Master Jiang, what you mean is that reaching the second level is not the limit?"
"That's right." Jiang Lin nodded.
Blacksmith Qi took a breath, can this sword reach the upper level?
"Master Jiang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and continue hammering!" Blacksmith Qi said and shouted to the side: "Quickly, get the bigger test stone over here!"
The Foundry Department sent three test stones, two of which were two feet thick, and one was nearly three feet thick.
Originally, several deputy craftsmen felt that it was pointless to have such a thick test stone. Even if Jiang Lin could make a high-quality weapon, it wouldn't be able to carry it even two feet thick.
It was Zhao Yankui who argued hard and insisted on giving such a generous gift, and was complained by several assistant craftsmen for a while.
Now it seems that he was wise.
Knowing that his apprentice is a monster among monsters, he cannot be treated with common sense.
The test stone nearly three feet behind is very heavy. Other blacksmith masters are not like Jiang Lin who can easily lift a thousand kilograms of weight and run around.
Two or three people worked together to slowly move the stone over.
At the same time, Jiang Lin refurbished the sword and finally eliminated all its flaws.
The dim eighth entropy pattern became brighter, and the grade of this sword reached its peak.
"Master Jiang, give it a try!" Blacksmith Qi said with expectant eyes.
Jiang Lin nodded, walked over and slashed at the test stone with his sword.
Under the expectant gazes of many blacksmiths, the long sword easily broke through the limit of two feet. After another two inches, it almost had to cut through the largest test stone with one strike.
Blacksmith Qi came over and measured it, and then exclaimed: "Two feet and two inches! God, just in terms of sharpness, this sword is really worth the grade of a treasure weapon!"
"It's a pity that I couldn't cut open the test stone directly." Yuan Bingqi also came over, with a lot of regret in his words.
After surpassing the limit of ordinary soldiers, both treasure soldiers and spiritual soldiers have three small levels: upper, middle and lower.
From the current point of view, the sharpness of this sword has reached the level of a middle-grade treasure weapon. If it can directly cut through this heavy test stone, it will be a top-grade treasure weapon!
Yuan Bingqi felt regretful, but his heart was still filled with wonder, knowing that this was already unimaginable.
It is obviously a first-grade ordinary soldier, but it has the sharpness that is close to that of a middle-grade treasured soldier.
"Master Jiang, is it because of the monster's fangs?" Yuan Bingqi asked curiously.
"It should be." Jiang Lin nodded and said: "There are no other characteristics, it is just sharper. This may be the ancestral power of the sharp wolf fangs."
"It's not a treasure weapon..." Yuan Bingqi had a complicated expression. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange weapon in all his years of blacksmithing.
What grade should it be considered?
Jiang Lin didn't have anything to worry about. He just wanted to figure out the effects of the monster's remains and gain experience for himself.
Putting the long sword aside, a large group of blacksmiths soon picked it up as if it were a holy object and marveled at it. What's more, those who have good intentions will run out of the blacksmith shop directly and go to the foundry department to report the good news.
As for the newcomers who had just joined the South Blacksmith Camp, they were all stunned at the moment.
They knew before they came that Jiang Lin had extraordinary skills and could make middle-grade ironware.
But after arriving, I realized that middle-grade ironware was not Jiang Lin's limit, but the limit of materials!
Now that the remains of the demonic beast are melted with mortal iron, it has reached the next level. Its actual sharpness surpasses that of ordinary soldiers and reaches the "realm" of treasure soldiers.
What if we give him better materials, such as black crystal iron?
Wouldn’t it be possible to directly build treasure weapons?
There is no one in the entire Foundry Department who can build treasure weapons. All such blacksmiths have been won over by the powerful forces. Even the rare wood and high-quality materials are controlled by them and can rarely be seen outside.
Therefore, a small piece of black crystal iron can be sold for dozens of taels of silver, and a small piece of dispensable snow spirit soil can be sold for as much as three hundred taels!
As for strange wood or higher quality materials, they are even rarer to find.
Some blacksmiths also complained about this, but Daqian had no intention of taking care of it.
Perhaps it's because the military doesn't have access to such high-quality weapons. As long as ordinary blacksmiths' work is not disturbed, they will turn a blind eye.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Therefore, for these blacksmiths who changed jobs halfway, Jiang Lin's skills have left them at a loss for words.
They even doubted that this young man really wasn’t the ancestor alive?
At this time, Jiang Lin had already picked up a bone spur and looked at it carefully.
[Ordinary bone spurs can increase the penetration properties of castings (can stimulate the hidden power of blood)]
According to the experience brought by the sharp wolf fangs, the meaning of increasing sharpness should be similar to the penetration characteristics, and can only be understood literally.
Penetrate...
If the meaning is clear, then we cannot make swords and axes, but we must make spears and heavy halberds.
This thing is not troublesome. Generally speaking, you only need to build the gun head and then install the wooden shaft.
But Jiang Lin didn't plan to use a wooden pole to make the gun body, because the extraordinary power of this world is very powerful.
If you have a higher level of martial arts, one thousand eight hundred pounds is not a problem, so the integrated metal gun body is more suitable.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lin brought a large amount of pig iron and stuffed it into the furnace together with the bone spurs.
It is still a process of melting the bone spurs first and then tempering them with pig iron. It is not complicated, but it is quite time-consuming especially with the large number of materials.
On the way to the South Blacksmith Camp, Yu Maoming, Zhao Yankui, Yuan Gaohao, Qiu Weiren and others all came.
Zhao Yankui was a little excited: "Is it definitely the upper level, but does it have the power of a middle-level weapon?"
"Of course, with so many people watching, how dare you lie?" said the blacksmith who went to report the news.
Yuan Gaohao said: "If this is really the case, our Foundry Department will really come forward. No one has been able to build treasure weapons for at least two hundred years. Zhao Sijiang, by then you will really be proud of your ancestors!"
Good blacksmiths and good materials are controlled by the powerful. It is indeed not easy to build a treasure weapon. For the Foundry Department, this is a big deal.
Otherwise, Yu Maoming would not come in person.
Zhao Yankui laughed loudly. His apprentice was so proud of him that it was hard not to be happy.
Now he felt more and more that being a deputy craftsman would not be as satisfying as watching the people who were shocked by Jiang Lin in the South Blacksmith Camp every day.
Looking for further orders
