Looking at the hundreds of steel ingots that almost filled the room, Lu Yuan patted the dust on his hands and stood up, planning to pack them all up and take them away. [No pop-up novel website]
After going out and looking around for a while, I saw a semi-open room on the east side of the courtyard. Although it was full of debris, looking at the layout of the anvils, blowers and forges, it looked like an abandoned blacksmith shop. ?
"Is that a blacksmith shop?"
"Yeah," Nubo agreed coldly.
"Can I rent it?"
"What? You want to rent? You want to live here? Then I don't want to see you every day?! No, no!"
"Because I asked you questions? Well, let's do this. As long as you don't talk to me, I won't take the initiative to ask you questions! Deal?"
"Hmph, okay! Each steel ingot costs two gold coins. The blacksmith shop belongs to my father and can be left to you. Calculate it as 10 gold coins per month. There is still a lot of coal there. It doesn't count as money. You can use it. When you're done, go buy it yourself. Just pack up the groceries and put them in the next room."
Lu Yuan paid directly to buy all the steel ingots, and the black steel ingots cost more than that. This special steel is an alloy smelted from meteorite iron and steel, and is coated with rare magic oil to give it mysterious power. If there are any problems, we'll get involved later. Lu Yuan couldn't afford to take advantage of these thousands of gold coins.
So it took Lu Yuan an entire afternoon to clean up the blacksmith shop, light a fire, and start building his first experimental long sword.
Nubo had been watching from a distance all afternoon. He opened his mouth several times to ask, but then closed his mouth as if he remembered something. Seeing that Lu Yuan was about to light a fire, he couldn't help but said, "Are you going to make something?" Although he was talking to Lu Yuan, his face was facing the door.
"Are you talking to me? Are you not? You have the wrong person." Lu Yuan replied seriously, picked out a piece of hard steel with a high carbon content, put it into the stove, and started heating it.
Seeing Nubo going crazy, Lu Yuan just smiled, concentrated on making his first sword.
Skills and crafts (forging level 40) certainly provide almost all cold weapons in this continent, even including the knowledge of making artifacts. Lu Yuan also has some knowledge brought from another world, such as Japanese swords, Roman swords, Tang swords, and Damascus swords. Knives, etc. Due to his background as a master blacksmith, many mysteries have now been figured out that I didn't pay attention to before.
As for material measurement, center of gravity calculation, etc., these are the benefits of time travel.
As a qualified blacksmith, the most important attributes are strength and constitution. Lu Yuan's physique is hard to say. A strength attribute of 10 is the strength of an ordinary person, and 14 is basically the strength of an average strong man. After the strength of 14, every additional point is equivalent to an increase of one-third of the previous total. The power of 18 is nearly twice that of 14. Lu Yuan's strength is 15. This strength is already comparable to that of Hercules. In the Three Kingdoms, even Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Halberd can block it for a moment or two.
To make a sword, you need to beat the red-hot iron ingots into thin slices, and then fold them layer by layer to make the carbon and iron blend more evenly. Then use the low-carbon flexible part to make the sword body, use the high-carbon hard part to make the blade, and finally adjust the center of gravity of the sword.
This should be done according to the user's habits. If you like skills, the center of gravity should be closer to the hilt of the sword. If you like to slash vigorously, your center of gravity should be closer to the blade.
Lu Yuan has great strength and physical strength, so it doesn't take much effort to do these things.
In just three or four days, a perfect sword was ready. Lu Yuan put his fingers on the sword spine 5 centimeters in front of the guard, and the sword stopped steadily. After fixing the sword tip and tail, the long sword did not deflect. The balance of the sword's front, rear, left and right has reached a very good level.
In the end, all that's left is polishing and polishing.
Although most of the iron ore in Xikai is sold to other places, some is smelted locally under military control and then unified into ordnance. It is considered a small industrial chain. The polishing of a sword requires meticulous work. Lu Yuan didn't have the thought, so he naturally paid someone to polish it. After polishing, the center of gravity of the sword will move back again. According to the user's habits and preferences, determine the center of gravity. After calculation, install the appropriate hilt and counterweight hammer. This is a qualified finished product.
For the next month, Lu Yuan was immersed in the joy of forging. He successively trial-produced Roman swords, eight-faced Han swords, Tang swords, Crusader swords and two-handed giant swords, and finally even made several samurai swords. He has long known the craftsmanship of the katana. Except for the difficulty in quenching, it is not difficult to make it. It's just that when the mud is applied at the end, the pattern that comes out is very ugly, so it's okay to fool laymen.
Every time a sword is made, he will try to use it with the sword skills he has learned. After trying it out for a while, he finds that the one that suits him best is the Eight-sided Han Sword passed down from his ancestors. It can only be said that it is fate. The one-handed cross sword is good for thrusting, while the Tang sword and katana are good for slashing. There is only the Eight-sided Han Sword, because the sword body is thicker, the blade is shallow, and the toughness and hardness can meet the needs. It can be said that it is suitable for thrusting and slashing. This sword has been eliminated in history, mainly because the craftsmanship is too complicated! It is possible to make one or two treasures, but large-scale equipment cannot be afforded.
Lu Yuan needed the sword to be strong enough to cut, and he also had to control the weight, which took a lot of effort.
The last thing Lu Yuan made for himself was this "Hundred Refined" Eight-sided Han Sword with double sword slots.

[Eight-sided Han Sword +2 (Excellent quality: "Cloud Slashing"
This dull long sword is made of mysterious items and is completely made according to this ancient oriental craft. "Zhanyun" means that even the clouds in the sky can be cut off. Although there is no magical energy infused into it, it is still as tough and sharp as a magical weapon. In the hands of others, this sword is just a long sword of exquisite quality. When held by the creator Lu Yuan, it can be regarded as a +2 magic sword.
"Wielding a sword to cut through floating clouds will live up to the name of the Han family."

The so-called "mysterious item" is a piece of plate that the goddess threw in the ring space. It is one centimeter thick and one meter long. It looks like a piece of something commonly known as "cold-rolled carbon steel plate". It's just that the weight is less than half that of steel, and it looks a lot like a sci-fi alloy... It can't be melted or broken, so Lu Yuan tried his best and used god-level tools to make it into the Eight-sided Han Sword format. .
This sword can be classified as a rapier in terms of weight, and its lethality is comparable to that of a katana, an exotic weapon. It is essentially very different from a rapier. The thin sword can only stab, but the "Cloud Slash" made by Lu Yuan can perform heavy slashing and cutting, which is more suitable for the swordsmanship of Feitlie's master and craftsman series.
In the past month, in addition to regular meditation and preparation of spells, he himself also ate bread to satisfy his hunger. Of course, he had no time to feed the goddess. But I had already placed a note explaining that it should be nothing serious. Now that I have stopped, I simply go back to my house and cook a delicious meal to reward "Nini" who has endured hardships with me, and prepare a portion for the goddess by the way. As a result, when I opened the ring, I found that the experimental items thrown in during the making process, such as Roman swords, had been packed up and placed on a weapons rack. Among them, the position of the cross sword was empty, and only a note was posted.
"I like this sword very much. What do you need to make one just for me?"
"Wait a moment, my skills still need to be improved."
Lu Yuan wrote a line on the back and left. This is not an excuse, he really has this idea.
Creating "Zhan Yun" allowed his craft (forging) to break through again and become level 41! Above level 30, every upgrade is a major breakthrough, and there are many insights that need to be thought about carefully.
Crafting weapons is not the same as crafting armor. The armor has thousands of years of experience accumulated with cold weapons on earth to draw from, and those that have been passed down to this day must be the best part. But weapons are different. The changes of weapons, materials, enemies, craftsmanship, cost, environment, etc. have great influence. It is difficult to say which weapon is the best. What's more, the development of cold weapons in the world of Faerûn is no worse than that of Earth.
His ability is not enough to create another divine weapon.
Making magic items comes at the expense of physical health and lifespan. Most of the magic items he creates now are essentially quasi-magic items that will quickly turn into ordinary things if they are not recharged. If you can't find a way to replace your own health and lifespan to pay the price, it will be difficult to expand alchemy and enchantment on a large scale.
The way forward needs to be re-planned.
