After going offline, Liu Wei'an fell asleep all the time. He slept so darkly that he didn't get up until nine o'clock the next morning. It was the first time in these years that he got up so late. When he woke up, he was full of energy. The pain and fatigue all over his body had disappeared. Moreover, he found that the starry sky pattern of the "Dark Emperor Sutra" was lit up for another section. This discovery made him surprised and happy. It turned out that he did not need to eat power seeds, but he could also Light up the pattern.
After worshiping the five internal organs temple, go online.
If he had not obtained the "Forging Manual", he should have sold the ore at this time to exchange money for power seeds. However, he no longer has this idea. With such a good ore, there is no need to cheapen others. It is better to keep it for yourself. . However, other gains from the cave over the past ten days can be cleaned up.
Except for the space ring and the bow, I bought everything else. I actually bought more than 800 gold coins, which made people sigh at how quickly they made money from robbery.
I made a thousand talisman arrows, and then went shopping in the gambling bag shop. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything good, so I bought two bronze items and made a small profit of more than fifty gold coins. He happened to meet Hei Niu who had just been resurrected. He told Liu Wei'an that Tong Xiaoxiao had broken through the bronze level and followed the convoy to escort. Lu Yan left after breaking through. She asked Hei Niu to tell Liu Wei'an that she If she wants to go out alone and follow Liu Wei'an, it will be difficult for her to make progress without dangerous pressure, so she can only choose to leave. If one day, she can become a master, she will come back. If one day...
Liu Wei'an felt a little sad when he said goodbye to Heiniu. During this period, Lu Yan had been by his side, spending time together day and night, and he had become accustomed to each other's presence, but Lu Yan left without even having time to say goodbye in person.
"I hope you come back soon."
The person had already left, Liu Wei'an could only wish him well, put himself in good spirits, and started his blacksmithing plan. However, he soon discovered that he was wrong. This blacksmithing is definitely not as simple as taking a hammer and hitting the iron block back and forth. The content contained in it is simply all-encompassing and extremely complex.
First of all, you have to purify it, otherwise, you won't be able to make iron. However, you can be lazy in this step now, because you can directly buy iron blocks that have been purified by others.
But this step was of no use to Liu Wei'an. He could not purify the blue ice iron for others. Once such a precious special ore was discovered, it would mean endless trouble.
So, I can only do it myself.
Casting is far more complicated than you think. Selecting minerals, refining, shaping, tempering, quenching, and cutting, each step is enough for ordinary people to learn for a lifetime. This is still the method of making ordinary weapons. Divine weapons also need to carve formation patterns, inlay gems and other procedures. If there is a problem at any step , will affect the quality and even success of the weapon. Let’s talk about mineral processing, taking copper ore as an example.
Copper ore is divided into bronze, green copper, red copper, brass, red copper and white copper. Different copper ores have different purity and different impurities. Some impurities are beneficial, but more impurities are harmful. How to select and identify them all depends on the individual. How to turn waste into treasure depends on means. Of course, it is too early to say this now. Liu Wei'an is just a newcomer. What he needs most now is to understand these ores.
Not only do you need to understand, but you also need to be familiar with it. This familiarity involves not only the properties, composition, and functions of the ore, but also the price assessment. Even people with deep pockets cannot ignore the issue of price.
There are not only 1,000 but also 800 kinds of minerals in the world. Excluding some extraterrestrial meteorites and those that have not yet been explored by humans, it will take at least one to two years to get to know all the minerals. If you want to become familiar with them, it is normal to think about three to five years. . After passing this step, it’s time to refine.
Refining is divided into two parts. The first is to extract the metal from the ore. This process is called rough refining. The second is to remove unnecessary impurities from the metal. This process is called refining. After the required metal is extracted, it can be plasticized.
The three essential things for refining are furnace, flame and fuel. The fuel determines the flame, and the flame determines the refining effect.
Shaping is not as simple as the dwarf holding a hammer on TV. It involves a series of knowledge such as mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, design, etc. If you want to become a qualified craftsman, these things are indispensable. , for example, a person builds a magic weapon that is extremely sharp, but there are flaws in the design and it breaks after just a few uses. Such a magic weapon is substandard and is just a waste of materials and energy.
The requirements for tempering are very strict on physical strength and strength. The minimum requirement is to be able to swing a hammer weighing dozens of kilograms. Secondly, it must have strong endurance. It often takes days and nights to create a magic weapon. If you are exhausted at the last moment, As for the failure in making the weapon, I don't think anyone needs to blame him. I already regretted it and vomited blood.
Quenching is just a general term. In fact, after the weapon is formed, there are four processing methods, namely annealing, normalizing, quenching and tempering.
Depending on the purpose, different processing methods are chosen. For example, epee is naturally based on hardness, while software is based on softness. Guns are different and require a combination of hardness and softness. This may involve several processing methods. The complexity cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
Opening an attack is the simplest step, but it is the most critical step. An indispensable feature of any magical weapon is that it is extremely sharp and can cut iron like mud. It is difficult to open an attack against such a sharp weapon. The extent can be imagined.
As for the array patterns and inlays, they are not something Liu Wei'an can understand at the moment.
After understanding these things, Liu Wei'an was a little dumbfounded. Before he studied the "Forging Manual", he thought very simply. He would study today, practice tomorrow, and plan to make weapons the day after tomorrow. According to what was written above, when he became a foundry master, he would probably I have already mastered the art of archery. Why do I still need to be a forger at that time?
The first purpose of learning casting skills is naturally to make money, but a more important reason is to make arrows for yourself, to create an arrow similar to a magic weapon, which can kill the arrows of gold-level masters with one arrow. . This was his initial thought.
His expression changed, and after thinking for a long time, he sighed. Take your time and take it one step at a time. It is currently difficult to improve archery skills. Although casting is also difficult, at least it is a way. It is better than being confused about archery.
If there is a place with the most ore, it is undoubtedly the blacksmith shop. However, the blacksmith shop is not a public toilet. You can come if you want. If you want to visit, you can. One copper plate takes ten minutes, and one hour is six copper plates. This price is definitely not something ordinary people can afford. Affordable.
Liu Wei'an paid 60 copper plates and stayed in the blacksmith shop for 10 hours. Tungsten iron, black iron, white iron, purple iron, ant iron, ghost eye iron, three-color iron...
There are dozens of types of iron ore alone. The dozens mentioned here are found in blacksmith shops. There are about 280 kinds of real iron ore. Stone City is located in a remote area, so it is very rare to collect dozens of types. , the tricolor iron is only the size of a fingernail, but the price is twice as high as the blue ice iron. Liu Wei'an's eyes were straightened when he saw it. The ghost eye iron ore was very strange. There were patterns on it that looked like ghost eyes. Liu Wei'an Wei An originally thought that this rare iron ore should be very expensive, but he didn't expect that it was not worth a few bucks. The ghost-eye iron was useless, or he had not yet found a way to use it correctly.
The blacksmith shop collected various ores for about 300 minutes. Liu Wei'an's memory became very good at some point, and he easily memorized the colors, properties, characteristics, etc. of more than 300 ores. In the evening, he did not leave. Instead, he paid 1,000 copper plates and asked the blacksmith to be his teacher and explain the knowledge of ores to him.
The blacksmith has a dark face. Although he is greedy for money, he is very trustworthy. As long as he accepts the money, he is very serious about his work. His eloquence is average, but he has rich experience. Liu Wei'an opened a new door, and the world of minerals was so rich.
He continued to give money and asked to watch the blacksmith's blacksmithing process. This time, the blacksmith was a little hesitant. Liu Wei'an was not in a hurry and kept increasing his chips. When the price reached 5,000 copper plates, the blacksmith finally nodded.
At almost ten minutes after dawn, the blacksmith completed his work, a dagger. Although it was a whiteboard level, Liu Wei'an's eyes were very hot when he looked at it. This was the first time for him to watch the entire process of making weapons at such a close distance. It's important, and it's worth the money spent. The description in the book is too pale, and it is far less vivid and memorable than the personal demonstration by a blacksmith with decades of experience.
When he walked out of the blacksmith shop, Liu Wei'an already had a preliminary understanding of the blacksmithing industry, and he was no longer as confused and overwhelmed as before. He was still energetic after not sleeping all night. Also energetic was the blacksmith who had worked hard for half a night. Seeing the blacksmith's bright eyes, Liu Wei'an realized what extraordinary physical strength and endurance were.
"It seems to be this person!" Several people were holding a portrait and pointing at Liu Wei'an, with scrutiny and observation in their eyes.
Several of them were dressed as warriors and were about thirty meters away from Liu Wei'an. Although they lowered their voices, Liu Wei'an's ears were not weak and he could hear clearly.
"Hurry up and don't let others get there first. That's 300,000 copper coins."
Liu Wei'an had just come out of the blacksmith shop, and he was still thinking about blacksmithing. Although he heard the voice, he didn't have time to think about it. Suddenly, there was a slight sound breaking through the air behind him. His expression changed and he quickly dodged, but it was still too late. With one step, severe pain spread all over the body from the back, and a sharp arrow hit the back, less than two centimeters from the back of the heart. Several soldiers obviously saw this scene, their expressions changed, they suddenly increased their speed, and drew their swords. sheath.
For a time, murderous intent filled the streets.
