In the weapon refining workshop in the backyard of Wanyuan Trading Company, there were only Changsun and Tie Ta at the moment.
"How is senior brother?" Changsun asked expectantly as he looked at the iron tower who was studying the drawings intently.
"It works, but why?" Tie Ta asked.
What Tieta means is that he doesn’t think it’s necessary to forge such a gun.
Nowadays, the spiritual weapons in the mainland are basically built around the core of warriors. These spiritual weapons, whether they are offensive weapons, defensive protective gear, or auxiliary tools, are all provided by warriors. , use your own true energy to activate the talisman array in the spiritual weapon.
But the original intention of the gun was to be forged by non-warriors, and the source of its energy was changed to spiritual stones.
From Tie Ta's point of view, the design of the gun is indeed ingenious and the concept is very novel, but in today's mainland where warriors are respected, there are not many people who have such an idea as Zhangsun and can turn their ideas into reality immediately.
To outsiders, this is a lunatic doing crazy things.
But Changsun didn't think so.
"The mainland has always believed that warriors stand at the top of the continent and are the mainstream of the mainland. But I think there is a bias in this perception."
"The first half of the sentence is indeed good. Warriors have been ruling the mainland since ancient times. But the mainstream of the mainland should not be warriors, but the tens of millions of people on the mainland." Changsun said.
The iron tower's expression that had remained unchanged for thousands of years showed a rare change.
Changsun's remarks are not only non-mainstream in the traditional perception of the mainland, they can even be regarded as treasonous.
Tieta frowned and said: "Ordinary people are like ants in front of powerful warriors. This can be seen in the apocalyptic battle. The battle of the Venerable can destroy the world. In the face of such abilities, ordinary people have no power to resist. "
Changsun did not expect that the problem of a spiritual weapon would rise to such a high level.
The eldest grandson thought for a while and said: "The battle of the end of the world is a vivid example. The continent is dominated by the will of warriors, which ultimately brings destruction. Indeed, as you said, senior brother, the abilities of ordinary people are not worth anything in the eyes of warriors. Mention. But the will of the people cannot be despised by warriors. The reason why the mainland can have a peaceful and prosperous era is because of the support of ordinary people. The reason why the Nine Provinces mainland can be reborn from nirvana from the apocalyptic war is also because of the people's wishes!"
"I believe that the emergence of guns will add a pair of wings to the hearts of ordinary people, and let those warriors who are above us see the power of the hearts of the people!"
Changsun spoke so impassionedly that the Iron Tower also showed a hint of emotion.
Tie Ta was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I now understand why Sir accepted you as his disciple. You will inherit Sir's mantle."
Changsun was startled by Tie Ta's words. Tie Ta rarely expresses personal subjective opinions and usually only gives rational analysis from the perspective of objective reality.
"This can be done, but the final soul-imbuing is very difficult and I can't do it." Tieta returned to normal and said straightforwardly.
The eldest grandson nodded, and due to the intense discussion among the youth faction at the end, many more talismans were added to the gun. Brother Tieta is good at forging and purifying materials, but he is not very accomplished in soul-imbuing.
Just go ahead and get started. The two of them immediately got into work. The first step was to purify the material and make it plastic.
The two divided the labor and collaborated, handing over the simpler parts to Changsun, while the more difficult ones were forged by Iron Tower himself.
I saw that both of them were naked, showing their strong arms and planning to have a big fight.
A beam of flame spurted out from the middle of the forging table. The iron tower held a hammer in his right hand and a pair of fire tongs in his left hand to clamp the ore. Under the action of the flame, the ore melted and turned red in a short time. At this time, the iron tower was seen swinging its hammer. After a few hammers, the impurities in the ore were removed.
The tower did not rush into shape, but quickly added several other materials.
Due to the complex design of the gun, the requirements for parts are also extremely high. It is not just as simple as high hardness, but also has requirements for brittleness, toughness, high temperature resistance, etc.
But in this regard, Tieta is an expert. As long as Changsun makes a request, Tieta will immediately know what to do.
After some dazzling operations, the first part of the tower is about to be completed.
As for Changsun, the speed is much slower.
The first is Changsun's forging method. Changsun uses a refining furnace. Changsun first throws the materials to be used into the furnace to heat and melt them one by one, and then quickly takes them out and puts them on the forging table. There was a row of hammers of various types on one side of the forging table. Changsun picked up one of them skillfully and struck while the iron was hot.
During this period, various types of hammers passed through Changsun's hands skillfully. It can be seen that each model of hammer has different forging effects.
At a glance, Changsun seems to be more professional and uses more diverse forging methods, but in fact it is quite the opposite. This is because Changsun's level of forging is not good enough, so he needs to use a variety of methods to achieve the desired results.
On the contrary, because the iron tower is at the level of a master, it can take care of both thickness and fineness with just a hammer and a forging table.
Before Changsun entered Qi Ziyuan, he learned his skill in refining weapons from Wu Ming and Tie Ta.
Both are master level or above. For the eldest grandson, there are advantages and disadvantages to being exposed to such a high level of weapon refining too early. The advantage is that the eldest grandson has already seen the mainland's top weapon refining level and understands what the peak is; the disadvantage is that The eldest grandson can only learn something similar in appearance but cannot understand the essence.
The systematic study of weapon refining at Qi Ziyuan just filled the gap left by Changsun. At this time, Changsun learned these weapon refining methods at Qizi Academy.
Until night, the weapon refining workshop in the backyard of Wanyuan Trading Company was still brightly lit, and from time to time there was a heat wave and the annoyed sound of the eldest grandson's failure coming out of the workshop.
At noon the next day, Changsun breathed a sigh of relief, and the last component was finally forged.
Changsun's slightly red eyes looked at the parts on the ground in front of him and felt excited.
"The next step is the soul-imbuing stage." Changsun said.
Iron Tower had finished forging the parts he was responsible for early, but he never left. Instead, he stayed aside to protect his eldest grandson.
"You come to imbue the soul, and I will continue to protect you." Tieta said.
"good."
After finishing speaking, Changsun did not perform the soul infusion immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged and entered meditation.
An hour later, Changsun opened his eyes and adjusted his condition to the best.
Changsun looked at the iron tower, nodded, and was about to start instilling souls.
Due to the complexity of the gun design, the large number of parts, and the numerous talisman arrays it contains, the soul-imbuing of some talisman arrays needs to be completed on extremely small parts, and some even need to be disassembled into multiple parts. This requires extreme care when inscribing, and the direction of the runes must be very precise.
The soul-casting furnace is a kind of weapon-refining furnace that the weapon-refining master will use when infusing souls.
Different from traditional weapon refining furnaces, the Soul Forging Furnace is engraved with gravity symbols, which can lift the spiritual weapons in the furnace into the air after being activated. Such a gravity-free situation will greatly assist the weapon refiner to accurately control the spiritual weapons, thus Reduce mental energy consumption.
There are even some advanced soul-casting furnaces that can accommodate the mental power of multiple refiners. Under the control of multiple people, the division of labor and cooperation will maximize the success rate of soul-imbuing.
Thanks to the souls of the two generations of his grandson, his mental power is far stronger than those of the same level. The eldest grandson can easily perform normal soul-imbuing tasks, but this time the eldest grandson is unsure.
Next to the soul-casting furnace, there is a row of spiritual tools specially used to infuse souls, including various knives, axes, files, needles, threads, etc., as well as a brush that looks like a brush, but the tip is not hair. It is the spiritual weapon of Golden Cone.
Changsun threw a component into the soul-casting furnace, first picked up a small sharp knife and started carving the talisman formation, being extremely careful with every stroke.
This part of the talisman array was relatively simple, and it took Changsun less than a quarter of an hour to complete it. Then, with the assistance of the Soul Forging Furnace, Changsun kept changing the angles of the parts, observing every detail of the talisman array, and after confirming that it was correct, he injected real energy and lit it. Talisman array.
"Successful."
The first step was successful. The eldest grandson didn't have time to take a breath and continued to imbue the soul.
Next, Changsun began to fail one after another. The iron tower on the side would take action at this time, quickly taking over Changsun's failed parts and rebuilding them.
In this way, the two of them cooperated tacitly, but it became increasingly difficult to infuse the soul, the eldest grandson's condition became worse and worse, and the probability of failure continued to increase.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was late at night before I knew it.
The eldest grandson was a little irritable. Even with the strong mental power supported by two souls, there was a trend of exhaustion at this time.
Zhangsun felt a splitting headache, which was the sequelae of excessive use of mental power.
"Take a rest, you are not focused right now." Tie Ta said.
Changsun's hands were trembling a little, and his eyes showed his unwillingness to admit defeat, but unfortunately this job was indeed beyond his capabilities.
The eldest grandson sighed unwillingly.
"Forget it, let's rest first. I'll think of a solution tomorrow."
After two days and nights, the lights in the refining workshop were finally turned off.
The eldest grandson didn't even go back to his room to rest, but fell asleep directly on the floor of the weapon refining workshop.
The next day, Changsun woke up and looked at the parts lying on the ground. Some of them had been successfully soul-infused, but most of them were un-soul-infused and failed products.
Changsun knew that working behind closed doors was not the best solution, so he decided to seek help.
After Changsun simply freshened up and ate, he picked up a bag of parts and left Wanyuan Trading Company, heading straight for Qingteng.
…
Qingteng Academy, Qiziyuan Weapon Refining Workshop, Area B 112.
Square 112 is the workshop dedicated to Wu Chao, the dean of Qizi. The eldest grandson has been here many times and is already familiar with the road.
Changsun stood at the door of No. 112, knocked on the stone door, took a step back, and waited for the owner of the room to respond.
After a while, Mr. Wu's slightly irritable voice came from the shop.
"Come in, come in."
Changsun pushed open the stone door, and before he could enter, he heard Mr. Wu's impatient voice.
"How many times has this happened? I've said that at this stage, we have to calm down, calm down, calm down! How many times have I said it?"
Changsun closed the stone door and saw Mr. Wu teaching a student.
"Mr. Wu...student, please remember, and you will definitely not make any mistakes next time..."
"Next time?! There's no next time. You've already wasted almost all the materials. Okay, you go back. You failed the fire control course this year. Go back and practice hard. What did Wu Dakui choose for me? A student, a third-year student, this is my rank, and no one can use it smoothly."
When the student heard that he had been sentenced to death, especially because he had failed the fire control class, he immediately became anxious.
"Mr. Wu, if you give the student another chance, he will definitely succeed. The main reason is that your requirements are too high. It is really difficult for the student to keep up with the speed of your weapon refining and also be distracted by the progress of the weapon refining."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu turned around and looked at the student.
"You have a lot of reasons, kid. As for your ability to control fire, I can't even match it to any sophomore."
"The students don't believe it." The student said immediately unconvinced after hearing this.
It happened that Mr. Wu turned around at this time and saw his eldest grandson waiting at the door.
"Don't you believe it when they say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here? When the second year comes, you stand aside and watch."
Changsun pointed at himself and said, "Are you talking about me?"
"You brat, why are you pretending to be stupid? Come here quickly, I've been waiting for you for how many days." Mr. Wu said angrily.
