Chapter 219 The Frog in the Well
For any kind of ironware, if the two materials cannot be integrated into one, they will form delaminations, thereby increasing the probability of cracking.
No matter the flexibility or hardness, it is far inferior to a single material.
Therefore, although the steel filling method is easy to use, it is limited to pig iron and wrought iron.
The fusion of different grades of materials is rarely used by blacksmiths.
Jiang Lin's approach was naturally puzzled by the blacksmith masters, but they did not dare to comment.
Because this is the only blacksmith in the entire foundry department who can create treasure weapons!
Even if we don't talk about treasure weapons, the first-grade iron weapon is the only one.
Ding Dong——
Ding Dong——
The monotonous and familiar sound of hammering has become Jiang Lin's unique rhythm.
No one thinks there is anything wrong with this sound anymore, but they feel more and more the unique charm and rhythm in it. Even some apprentices are trying to master this special rhythm.
[The quality of pig iron with many impurities is improved by one percent]
【Hundred Refining Level +1】
[The quality of pig iron with many impurities is improved by 5%]
[The quality of pig iron with many impurities is improved by 15%]
【Hundred Refining Level +1】
……
In a series of prompts, the outline of the long knife was quickly formed, and then it was leveled with a hammer.
Both the master blacksmith and the apprentice were all looking at it intently.
Level 8 Yunjin Chengfeng not only brought various increases, but also pushed Jiang Lin's tempering skills to an almost unparalleled level.
At least in the Foundry Department, no one can compare with his tempering skills, not even Yu Maoming.
Now that Jiang Lin has proposed the elimination system for the last place, many motivated masters have taken the initiative to come to him to communicate and learn.
This is true for all masters, let alone apprentices.
Many people want to worship Jiang Lin as their teacher, but regardless of whether they value status or skills, Jiang Lin won't accept them.
I'm so busy building things every day that I don't have time to take care of my apprentices.
After a while of banging, the long knife has completed the basic tempering.
After returning to the furnace for heating, take it out for quenching.
[Perfect quenching improves the quality of castings by 15%]
Amidst the sizzling sound, Jiang Lin saw that there were still only eight entropy patterns on the long sword.
Blacksmith Qi had already come over and asked expectantly: "How is it? Is it done?"
"No." Jiang Lin took a deep breath and did not sharpen the blade. Instead, he returned to the furnace and heated the black crystal iron together.
Since it's not enough right now, let's try the amplifying effect of fusion forging.
It was a new training process, but the final result was still disappointing.
The eight entropy patterns were extremely bright, and the entire blade was glowing with bluish-white light. Even before the blade was sharpened, it was already freezing.
[A long knife of average quality, sharpness +4, holder's life recovery +3, with thunderous impact]
As expected, the sharpness and life recovery are increased, and there is also a special effect of thunder impact.
The only hope now is to cut the blade and then burn it in the furnace, but that is only a 1% chance. Jiang Lin has no hope.
Blacksmith Qi and others looked a little disappointed, but then they thought about it, this was after all a first-class long sword, the limit of ordinary soldiers.
"It is said that the remains of third-grade monsters can inspire ancestral power. I wonder what properties Master Jiang's sword has?" Blacksmith Qi asked. This is a deliberate diversion, but also genuine curiosity.
No one in the blacksmith camp has seen anyone who can personally build a treasure weapon, and no one has seen what a weapon looks like after being integrated into the remains of a third-grade monster.
Jiang Lin also wanted to try the effect of the thunderous impact, so he walked out with a knife.
The many masters and apprentices who were watching quickly moved out of the way, and under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Lin walked to the open space.
Someone has already brought in a test stone, the kind that is three feet thick.
Ever since it was known that Jiang Lin could forge first-class weapons, the test stones sent by the Foundry Department were all of this size. It was said that a few thicker ones had been prepared and could be sent at any time.
There was nothing to prepare. When the apprentices carrying the test stones stepped aside, Jiang Lin slashed them with his sword.
This weapon with a forward sharpness of +2 can almost cut through the test stone. Now that the sharpness is +4, Jiang Lin only feels that it is easier than cutting tofu.
The three-foot-thick test stone was easily split into two.
But this was not the end. At the same time, Jiang Lin felt an invisible force bursting out of the blade.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Boom——
The deafening loud noise shocked everyone, and many people subconsciously looked up.
But I saw a clear sky, where was the thunder coming from?
Immediately afterwards, someone was horrified to see that the test stone that had been split in front of Jiang Lin exploded for no reason.
A lot of broken pieces were splattered everywhere.
Even Blacksmith Qi, Yuan Bingqi and others were dumbfounded.
The knife-testing stone is notoriously hard, and it is understandable how much it will be split by a knife. After all, it is a top-notch mortal soldier integrated into the remains of a third-grade monster.
But what happened to this sudden explosion?
Jiang Lin himself was a little surprised. Is this a thunderous impact?
I originally thought it was something like sound waves, but now it seems that the sound is just a gimmick, and the invisible impact that comes with it is really scary.
Even the test stone exploded like this. If it hit a person, he would probably be seriously injured even at the eighth level of martial arts.
Blacksmith Qi picked up the gravel on the ground and looked at it, then ran over and asked excitedly: "Is this the ancestral power of the third-level monster?"
"Probably." Jiang Lin nodded.
"It's too terrifying. No wonder third-grade monsters are rare on the market. Such a good thing may have been spotted by powerful people before it is even taken out." Blacksmith Qi said.
"It's a pity that such a powerful weapon is still not a treasure." Another old master lamented.
Yuan Bingqi said: "You also said that it is so powerful, what difference does it make if it is a treasure weapon? To put it bluntly, a treasure weapon is just transformed from an entropy pattern into a magical treasure tree."
When everyone heard this, they subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the truth.
Compared with top-level ordinary soldiers, what are the advantages of Baobin?
Isn't it just that the texture has changed?
"So, the weapons crafted by Master Jiang are actually weapons without the magical treasure tree?" someone asked.
"I think that makes sense!"
At this time, Blacksmith Qi shook his head and said: "You guys, it's just your imagination. If the treasure weapon is so simple, why is the secret recipe hidden so far?"
Someone asked: "Does Master Qi know the difference between treasured soldiers and ordinary soldiers?"
"I have never seen a treasured soldier, so I don't know what the difference is." Blacksmith Qi said calmly: "But I have heard people say that there is an essential difference between a treasured soldier and an ordinary soldier. No matter how powerful the ordinary soldier is, he will always be the same. Ordinary soldiers can never become treasured soldiers.”
Blacksmith Qi turned to Jiang Lin and said, "Since Master Jiang is familiar with the military attachés at Nanling Camp, why not ask them what's so special about Baobin, so that we can open our eyes and save ourselves the trouble of doing that?" The frog in the well.”
Looking for more orders, I will write in the future
