The original assessment and rating turned into a duel between two great casters. Dui wanted to take away the professional qualification certificate of the first "great craftsman", so he kept pestering the examiner.
Yi Jun looked at the patterned ironware. In fact, the rating of this thing was beyond the scope of a senior craftsman, but it was still a little short of the standard of a master craftsman set by Yu Zai.
"Impossible, I have thoroughly studied iron tools. During this period of time in the handicraft street, I often watched people forging iron. When I was in Dongyi, I was the first to use black stones to cast weapons. Although this was also thanks to Dayi telling me .”
"I don't believe it! As the number one caster in Dongyi, ever since I came into contact with these ores and smelting, I have been working day and night to create and learn. I rarely have time to rest for a year. Repeatedly for decades!”
"If even my patterned iron is not enough to be rated as a great craftsman, there will definitely be no great craftsmen in the world!"
Dui was very dissatisfied and said, I cannot accept your assessment result!
Are you practicing favoritism and trying to show that Guangchengzi's sword is better than mine?
"No, Master Guangchengzi's ironware is also patterned iron. According to my observation, it is at the same level as yours and higher than that of a senior craftsman, but not up to the level of a master craftsman."
Yijun said this and Dui frowned, but his anger had subsided a little. This was because he found that Guangchengzi was not up to standard either.
However, Guangchengzi had a good attitude. When he saw Dui's eyes, he said disdainfully:
"Young man, you still have a bad mentality. Why are you happy and excited when you see that my level is the same as yours?"
Dui laughed: "The same level? Level... Yes, this is also your Hongzhou vocabulary. It's good to use, it's good to use! But even on a piece of seemingly flat land, there will be deviations in the measurement of the level. , how do you know that I am not a little taller than you!"
Guangchengzi didn't want to argue, but said straightforwardly: "But I haven't made a utensil for a long, long time. I just started working this year, and it has only been three or four months since I regained my senses. Do you know how long it has been since I made a utensil seriously? It has probably been It’s been hundreds of years.”
"You practice every day, you make tools every day, and you rarely stop for a few months. You practice so frequently, but you are still about the same as me, an old man who doesn't practice. You still have the nerve to claim to be the best in the world. The Forger?"
Guangchengzi smiled slightly and said that you are too young. I have eaten more roast chicken than you have eaten, and the total amount can circle the earth.
Dui immediately became furious.
He looked at Yi Jun and shouted angrily: "You must tell me where exactly it does not meet the standards! I have read all the contents assessed by the master, and I should definitely have passed the assessment!"
Yijun looked at Dui and waited until the latter finished his rant before saying, "You are affecting public order. If you continue to rant, you will be detained according to our Hongzhou laws."
"Do you want to catch sugar cane with the monkeys?"
Yijun pointed to a nearby place, and Dui turned around to look over. He saw a group of black-haired Gan giants playing with fire not far away. Sensing Dui's gaze on them, the group of Gan giants immediately raised their torches and Sugarcane, and then howled and whined.
The eldest son comes to play!
Dui immediately shuddered and his mind became clearer, but he still refused to accept it. At this time, Guangchengzi smiled and said to Dui:
"I'm just ranting here, not talking about iron. Do you know the metal ratio of perfect copper?"
Guangchengzi said something and said, I have just started to explore iron tools, but you have already used it many times, but you are still at the same level as me. I can only say that it is not that I am not skilled, but that you have learned. The ability is too bad.
Dui opened his mouth, patted his chest and said, "Are you looking down on me? Before I forged iron tools, the best bronze sword in the world came from my hands! Dui's sword, He's bow, and Mouyi's arrow!"
Then, he talked about some common sense and details that should be used in the smelting of ancient bronzes. However, Guangchengzi nodded frequently at first, and then began to shake his head frequently. The more Dui talked, the angrier he became. After he finished speaking, he immediately asked Guangchengzi spoke, and Guangchengzi said——
Inflammation is inflammation!
"A perfect bronze vessel will not decay for eight hundred years, and will remain as new for thousands of years. Copper and tin are the main components of this bronze vessel. The proportion of copper is 80%, and the proportion of tin is 100%. Sixteenths to seventeenths, then aluminum and nickel, and then very little iron and sulfur..."
"In the process of hammering out the lead elements, the black patterns and various weird lines produced are sulfur and sulfide, which are changed from the chemical reaction with the surface. It is a kind of thing called' Chromium' metal."
"This treatment method is called passivation treatment."
Guangchengzi talked eloquently, and people around him also gathered around:
"You only know that if one quarter is gold and tin is one, it is the harmony of swords and halberds. But if there are three thirds of gold and one tin is one, it is the harmony of broadswords."
"Biary alloy is more interesting than you think. Oh, tin is platinum."
Dui started to get angry again, like a ruthless angry machine: "Of course I know that one point of platinum for four points of gold is the best ratio for making gong, and I don't need you to teach me if it's three points of gold!"
I just know that Gui Gui knew that Guangchengzi had just spoken, most of which were words that Dui couldn't understand. Of course he understood the operation, but there seemed to be a lot of knowledge in it.
The craftsmen around started talking to each other, and Guangchengzi laughed.
Are you showing off with me? Still too tender!
I, his mother-in-law, just used my apprentice’s exact words to show off!
I don’t believe you can understand things that I don’t understand. Look, you really don’t understand!
Pretending to be a big success!
Bring the eternal god of doctrine!
However, Guangchengzi was also secretly glad that he had lived to learn, and his disciple's words really did not deceive me.
If you don't learn, you won't be able to show off and slap in the face so naturally. Looking at the guy opposite who is known as the best in the world, his face is as red as the Santoshen's butt. Hironariko feels very comfortable.
What an arrogant piece of shit.
"Ahem, the work of craftsmen in the world is much more complicated than you think. I just master a little bit of iron casting, and I am known as the best caster in the world. But there are more powerful casters than me in the world. Master, you are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of having your legs broken when you go out? Even if you know Dayi, you won't be able to do it."
"Young man, you'd better study hard and be humble and low-key."
Guangchengzi thought about it and continued to act cool, so he said to Dui again:
"And you know, the iron-making technology you are using now is actually not the same as ours in Hongzhou. You figured it out yourself. This technology is to extract iron from ore into blocks, and then carburize and forge the iron from the block. , called carburizing method.”
"This is too primitive. You can't get high-quality steel. That means you are strong and have rich casting experience, so you can cast such a good weapon. In fact, it is difficult for an average craftsman to use this primitive method. Good steel.”
Dui was stunned for a moment: "Steel? What is steel?"
Guangchengzi's heart was suddenly shocked, and he started to yell:
"No, no, do you think all iron tools are iron?"
"Then you really should study hard and learn what 'steel' is!"
