In the iron smelting plant inside the ferrosilicon mine, Wu Shaobin's face turned dark when he saw everyone laughing at Luo Zhang. He immediately wanted to reprimand these people who didn't know the heights of the world, but Luo Zhang stopped him.
Facing everyone's ridicule, Luo Zhang did not feel angry at all. Instead, he looked at Master Fen with a smile and said, "Since Master Fen doesn't believe it, then I will build a sword to compete with you?"
"Huh? Do you really want to compete with me? Young man, I advise you to give up when you're good, don't humiliate yourself and the loss outweighs the gain!" Master Fen shook his head slightly, still not believing that Luo Zhang has such ability, his skills Even if he is not at the top, he is still not comparable to a young man. In his opinion, Luo Zhang just wants to be in the limelight.
"You have to compete to know this, but if I beat Master Fen, what would you say?" Luo Zhang said with a playful smile, as if he was very confident.
"If you win? If you win, I will become your disciple! But if you lose, leave quickly and don't be embarrassed here!" Master Fen frowned slightly.
"Forget it about becoming a disciple. If you lose, Master Fen, just sell yourself to this iron smelting factory for the rest of your life!" Luo Zhang was also unambiguous and put forward his own suggestion.
"Huh? Work in the ironworks for the rest of your life? You are confident, okay, either make the sword as soon as possible, or leave as soon as possible, don't waste our time anymore!" Master Fen was a little unhappy with Luo Zhang's suggestion.
"So Master Fen has agreed? Since he agreed, you should be optimistic!" Luo Zhang said and walked towards the iron-making furnace. Feeling the high temperature of the iron-making furnace, Luo Zhang curled his lips.
Ask Wu Shaobin to get him some ferrosilicon ore, and he picked up the iron ore and put it into the container to start smelting iron.
Although he doesn't know how to make iron, he just watched these craftsmen's operations, and Luo Zhangyi completed the first step of painting the gourd with ease.
After all, he is also a strong man at the fifth level of the True Yuan Realm. These things are not difficult for him. At this time, Wu Shaobin also got the ferrosilicon ore. Although he didn't know what Luo Zhang was going to do, Wu Shaobin didn't have much confidence in Luo Zhang. , after all, Master Fen is a well-known master, Luo Zhang wants to win against him? Disaster! Disaster! Disaster!
Luo Zhang did not explain too much, but started to smelt the ferrosilicon ore in another container. After the ferrosilicon ore was smelted and the impurities were removed, Luo Zhang slowly added the ferrosilicon solution while stirring the iron solution. Stir constantly.
Luo Zhang didn't know much about the refining of steel, and he didn't even know the ratio. He could only cross the river by feeling the stones. Just now, he was so confident because Luo Zhang knew that he would refine it, but he still couldn't. One problem is, it's hard to say when it will be refined.
If you are lucky, you can succeed in one attempt; if you are unlucky, it will take n times to succeed.
Luo Zhang actually doesn't have much confidence, but that's how experiments are. If it doesn't work once, it will happen again. Although he will be laughed at, the appearance of something is not always accompanied by ridicule.
After adding the ferrosilicon solution, Luo Zhang kept stirring the mixed molten steel solution. After stirring for a while, Luo Zhang poured it into the mold and then cooled it.
Then he clamped the cooled steel sword mold with iron tongs, and looked at it in front of his eyes. He didn't know whether he succeeded or not. The test method was to put it on the fire and beat it. You should be able to tell whether it was successful or not.
Everyone couldn't figure out what Luo Zhang was doing, why he added that inexplicable solution to the molten iron. Could adding these things be better than the iron sword refined by Master Fen?
Before anyone could figure it out, Luo Zhang was seen beating the steel sword mold with a hammer. However, after a few hammer blows, the steel sword fell apart. Obviously, this experiment failed.
This scene caused everyone to burst into laughter, and they all pointed at Luo Zhang and ridiculed him.
"Is this guy here to make us happy?"
"Are you still bragging about competing with Master Fen?"
"Even the sword I made is not as good as the one you dare to say here that you are better than Master Fen. You'd better leave as soon as possible!"
Among the people present, only Master Fen and Wu Shaobin did not laugh. Wu Shaobin did not laugh because he knew Luo Zhang's identity, but Master Fen saw some clues about Luo Zhang's sword refining.
Although he didn't know what Luo Zhang added to it, he felt that Luo Zhang was not aimless. Would adding that thing make Iron Sword better?
Luo Zhang turned a deaf ear to everyone's words and started the steps again, except that this time he added much less ferrosilicon solution. The subsequent operations were the same, stirring, cooling, and beating, with the same result.
This time there was more ridicule. Many people advised Luo Zhang to stop persisting and give up as soon as possible and get out of here, but Luo Zhang didn't even pay attention.
But without Wu Shaobin and Master Fen speaking, what they said was just farts.
When Luo Zhang tried it for the third time, he added a little bit of ferrosilicon solution this time. When Luo Zhang started to knock the steel sword mold for the third time, his eyes lit up. This time it didn't break.
"Hahaha, it worked. Labor and management finally succeeded!" Luo Zhang raised the third steel sword he tested and said with a smile.
"Succeeded? Isn't this kid out of trouble? He succeeded with just a molded iron sword?"
"That's right, he won't go crazy because he didn't succeed, right? How pitiful!"
"Young man, can you show me the mold in your hand?" Master Fen ignored everyone's words and walked up to Luo Zhang and looked at the steel sword mold in his hand.
"Of course, Master Fen, let's take a look!" Luo Zhang smiled and handed over the mold in his hand.
Master Fen took the steel sword mold from Luo Zhang's hand and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a while, Master Fen actually placed the mold on the stove, picked up the hammer on the side and began to beat it repeatedly.
As Master Fen continued to hammer and temper, a sword gradually took shape in his hands. When Master Fen stopped moving, a sword appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Oh, I lost!" Master Fen looked at the sword in front of him. Mogami said that he had lost, but his eyes were shining, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
Everyone was shocked when they heard Master Fen's words. How could they lose? This hasn't been compared before.
"Master Fen, what are you doing? Why do you admit defeat before even competing?"
"That's right, Master Fen, what kind of sword fight did you just help him with? You can't admit defeat like this!"
"After all, we can determine the winner after a trial!"
"Master Fen, if they are unfair, we support you and will definitely seek justice for you!"
Luo Zhang rolled his eyes and asked for justice. Are you the only ones? But Luo Zhang didn't say anything.
Master Fen was very arrogant before, but now he takes the initiative to admit defeat. There is still something in him.
Obviously, Master Fen discovered the difference in the steel refined by Luo Zhang, otherwise he would not take the initiative to admit defeat!
