Chapter 244 Taboo Restrictions
I can already create a middle-grade spiritual weapon and have an eighth-grade official position. Is it still just a piece of pig iron that can be hammered into any shape at will?
Jiang Lin sat on the chair, his eyes slightly absent-minded.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed the case.
Mid-grade spiritual weapons are just special products produced by chance and chance, and cannot be stably produced in batches.
As for the eighth-grade official position, it was a reward from the masters of the Ministry of Industry.
If I can give it to you, I can take it back.
Speaking of it, everything I have now is just like a mirror in the mirror.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly. Everyone was complimenting him, praising him for his unlimited future and being able to surpass his ancestor.
Only Mr. Wei can see clearly that, let alone the future, at least he is not qualified to be proud and complacent now.
Jiang Lin breathed slowly, very long and deeply.
He was really complacent when he was drinking.
Originally, I just wanted to become an official blacksmith, have a house of my own, and get a salary of more than ten or twenty taels every month.
Being able to forge first-class weapons puts him above all blacksmiths.
Now it seems that I have been dazzled by the recent success.
It’s a lot of work here!
A place that doesn’t take human life seriously!
A top-grade weapon?
Even middle-grade spiritual weapons are considered inferior weapons in this world, and there are Xuan, Yuan, Sheng, Shen, and Tao on them.
Jiang Lin's eyes became deeper and deeper, and his mood was not flustered by trying to understand these things, but instead became calmer.
Mr. Wei was right, he was indeed just pig iron in the furnace now.
Even the praise from those at the Nanling Camp was nothing more than mutual support from people at the bottom.
But what Mr. Wei doesn't know is that his Jiang Lin's foundation is definitely not pig iron!
As long as enough time is given and the outer layer of impurities is peeled off after careful tempering, unparalleled and peerless materials will be revealed step by step!
Finally, Jiang Lin let out a faint breath, leaned back on the chair, and gradually relaxed his body.
He squinted his eyes, and there was indescribable complexity on his face.
"Aren't you qualified enough..."
"It seems we have to keep working hard."
The initial needs were houses and money, but now, Jiang Lin's needs have changed.
Controlling one's own destiny sounds too sick.
What Jiang Lin wants is very simple. If he is really treated as a transaction, he will be transferred between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry.
Just this time!
He no longer wants to be a tool that is traded at will!
Not even the commander-in-chief of the Ministry of War!
His fists clenched tighter and tighter, his eyes became firmer and firmer, as if he had just arrived in this world, and his heart was filled with momentum again.
The next day.
Jiang Lin started to light the fire and exercise early in the morning.
Many blacksmiths looked at it in amazement. They had never seen an eighth-grade officer forging iron in the blacksmith camp.
But this is just a joke. Everyone knows that Jiang Lin, the eighth-grade official, was given by the Ministry of Industry to retain him.
At present, Jiang Lin still owes each battalion a total of nearly 500 weapons, plus thousands of arrows with the effect of tarsal maggots.
This is no small job. No matter how efficient it is, it will take more than two months to complete.
Fortunately, with the pig iron currently being produced by Jianglin, as long as the blacksmith's skills are at a normal level, middle-level fifth-grade or even middle-grade fourth-grade weapons can be made.
After these people have completed the basic tempering, Jiang Lin will take them to eliminate defects and quench them, and then they can successfully reach the next level. In this way, a lot of time can be saved, and it can be completed in about a month.
It was only when Jiang Lin made his first weapon that he discovered something was different.
Even if the tempered weapons are not tempered, their quality has reached the upper level.
And if you continue to temper and sharpen the edge, the weapon will split directly.
Jiang Lin doesn't think this is a coincidence. He has never had any problems with his skills.
I had to call Blacksmith Qi and others to study together.
After careful inspection, many blacksmith masters could not see anything special.
The quality of this piece of pig iron is very high, so high that even if it is not tempered, it can still reach the grade of high-quality goods.
After tempering and quenching, the quality is even more shocking.
The fracture was extremely sharp, and even if a middle-grade fourth-grade anvil was scratched, it would be like cutting tofu with a knife.
Logically speaking, with such high quality, there shouldn't be any problems, but it just cracked.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Finally, Blacksmith Qi raised a possibility: "Is it because the quality is so high that it has far exceeded the limits of ordinary soldiers, so that they cannot bear it?"
This statement immediately attracted the echo of other blacksmiths. One person said: "It makes sense. Just like a body that is too weak, it is a good thing to take some tonics. But if you eat too much at once, you will not be able to replenish your body, but it will become more serious."
"Does that mean it's caused by poor foundation? Wouldn't it be better to replace it with black crystal iron?"
Amid the heated discussion among everyone, Jiang Lin once again tried using only black crystal iron, and the result was indeed the same.
The weapons made of black crystal iron also had some cracks, but they were much better than those made of pig iron.
It shows that the grade of the material itself has a huge impact on the final result.
However, after finding out what was wrong, Jiang Lin not only didn't feel happy, but became even more unhappy.
Doesn't this mean that he will have to use better materials than black crystal iron to make weapons in the future?
For a blacksmith who came from a foundry department, this almost meant giving up the idea of blacksmithing.
The best materials that the entire foundry department can find may be better than black crystal iron, but they are not universal and are in very small quantities.
Blacksmith Qi and others also understood this. For a moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
If Jiang Lin could no longer use ordinary pig iron to make weapons, his skills would be useless to a certain extent, at least in terms of specific materials.
You know, pig iron is the most commonly used material among all blacksmiths.
Unless you want to build some kind of holy weapon, magic weapon, etc., otherwise you will mix some pig iron into it. After all, high-quality materials are too rare, and no one is willing to use only one kind.
Seeing Jiang Lin looking a little depressed, Blacksmith Qi came over and comforted him: "Actually, it's not that big of a deal. From now on you can only light the fire, and we'll do the rest. It'll save you too much trouble."
< br>
This word is used to comfort people, but it seems a bit superficial.
Jiang Lin stared at the cracked weapon and suddenly said: "Do you think it may be related to the restrictions on the secret recipe of the treasure weapon?"
Blacksmith Qi was startled for a moment, and then said: "That makes sense. Maybe you have touched the taboo of Baobin, and you can only get through it smoothly with the help of the secret recipe."
"Secret recipe for treasure weapons..." Jiang Lin frowned, what exactly is this thing?
Theoretically, he is not completely restricted. Others are making the iron, and he is responsible for eliminating defects, and then by returning it to the furnace and calcining it, he can do the same thing as before.
But Jiang Lin was really unwilling to be able to hammer it with pig iron himself.
Even if it really touches the extreme taboo of Baobing, there must be a way to break it.
And there is always an inexplicable feeling in my heart that it was something I overlooked that led to this result.
But what exactly is it?
