"Boss! Are you going to build a new weapon to show me? Great, grandpa doesn't know how to make weapons. I can only learn from farm tools."

Gray was suddenly filled with surprise.

Apart from the Gobert survival knife, the only product design ideas he could learn from were the agricultural tools Sebala made for daily orders. With such limited information, he could only rely on 30% of the design ideas he could learn from.

, 70% of it is based on brainstorming. Once everything that can be learned is exhausted, then you can only rely on brainstorming throughout the process.

That pure iron hoe was produced based on this idea.

That thing can't be regarded as a piece of imagination, but an opening to the imagination, the kind of imagination that only has a hole above the neck.

If you want to create First Dimension equipment, you can't just rely on existing information anyway, you must give him other inspirations to truly realize your ideal.

I put on my right arm guard and waved it twice in the air. I felt that although this arm guard has rich functions, the overall weight is only about 15 kilograms. For me, who has a colonist system to stabilize the weight, it is not a problem at all.

.

...Well, for a boy with strange strength like Gray, it shouldn't be of any importance. He probably built it according to his own weight. Sure enough, he still lacks in building experience. There is no way that ordinary people can wear such equipment.

Free to move around - luckily I am no less capable in this regard.

"I plan to teach you because of your ability to equip me with equipment."

I took Gray downstairs and saw that Sebala was missing again in the lobby. I didn't know whether he went to dig ore or drink.

When we arrived in front of the forging table, Gray had already skillfully helped me add charcoal to the furnace, prepared the preliminary work required for forging, and waited respectfully for me to teach me the skills.

It would be great if this young man could always be like this, instead of always being cold-faced, as if everyone owed him money.

"Gelfred, I will teach you two brand new things today, so you should pay attention."

I skillfully opened the colonist system and found what I wanted to forge in the forging list of the forging table.

"Your current thinking is focused on structural adjustment. This is the right direction. By adjusting the appropriate structure, you can integrate more functions in a limited space."

"However, once you run out of ideas and materials, you will fall into the unimaginable predicament you are now in. This kind of problem arises from your experience and experience. No matter how talented you are, you can't overcome it.

With the accumulation of experience, you can directly enter the realm where everything can be done at your fingertips."

"So now, I am going to build a murder weapon that has been tempered for thousands of times."

As soon as Gray finished speaking, my figure immediately moved and started the crafting process.

I found two good-quality steel ingots from Sebala's inventory, mixed them with copper crystals, carbon powder and other substances and put them into the furnace. I pulled the bellows to blow a lot of fresh air into the blast furnace and quickly raised the furnace.

internal temperature.

Soon, a pot of bright red molten steel melted in the furnace. At this time, under special arrangements, the temperature in the furnace was controlled at less than a thousand degrees.

This is a low-temperature steelmaking method. This method may seem primitive, but compared to the high-temperature steelmaking method favored by industrial assembly lines, it can produce good steel with pure quality. However, steel produced at high temperatures is softer and easier to shape, while steel produced at low temperatures is

The steel produced is harder and more difficult to forge, and subsequent forging requires more energy.

This is no problem at all for me!

Soon, a brand new piece of steel came out of the furnace. It was specially condensed into a slender half-meter-long steel ingot. It was heated to red again and repeatedly hammered and forged.

The colonist system controlled me. I picked up a hammer and hammered the steel block into a thin sheet in a few strokes. I immediately folded it again and pounded it. Repeatedly, the steel material was stretched.

In forging, such beatings usually range from 7 or 8 times to 20 or 30 times, with hundreds of hammers required each time. For example, after the 10th hammering, there will be 1024 layers of steel. This means

It is the legendary "hardened and tempered".

Through this step, impurities such as sulfur and excess carbon in the steel can be removed to increase the elasticity and toughness of the steel. This is like kneading dough. The more layers you beat, the less carbon and various components in the steel.

It will be more uniform, the iron crystals will be more detailed, and the final forged steel will have uniform quality, thousands of layers, very strong, and finally become a uniform steel material.

Gray was carefully observing my operations, using his brain to quickly memorize the details of the process, but suddenly his eyes widened, as if he had seen something amazing...

That's right, the "iron hand" common in the colonist system has appeared again!

Every time it comes to the stage of craft operation, the colonist system will always come up with some crafts that are completely incomprehensible to people, forming a technical barrier that no one can imitate.

For example, in forging, you will see the wonder of making iron with your bare hands!

I made a fist with one hand, grabbed the roughly shaped red steel bar, and quickly put it into the cold quenching bath to quickly cool it with water to peel off the excess carbon-containing part of the steel.

Then, I grabbed a handful of slag soil from the edge of the steel furnace and sealed it on the blade, and quickly stuffed it into the steel-making furnace that had cooled down slightly. The soil on the blade was thinner, and the soil on the hand was thicker.

It is trimmed while it is hot and then quickly put into a cold quenching tank.

After a burst of water vapor rose, a thin blade shining with silver light appeared on the forging table. From the overall cold light to the microscopic particles, the delicacy of its texture was like a work of art. And the blade and

The edges of the blade produce granular patterns that look like sprinkled silver sand, giving the entire blade a dreamy color!

"Huh..." After the forging was completed, I let out a slight breath. Although the high temperature did not burn my hands at all, the scorching air still made it difficult for me to breathe.

"Item name: Katana

Item introduction: The katana is a traditional Japanese knife used by Japanese samurai in the feudal era. It is very popular as a collectible among colonists, but it is easy to oxidize.

Item durability:330/330

Item texture: steel

Melee damage per second: 28.29

Melee Armor Penetration: 17%"

I took out a steel plate as a test material and cut it horizontally with the knife. I saw that the steel plate was cut in two cleanly and smoothly. The cut was extremely smooth, and there was not even a trace of damage on the blade.

I threw the knife to Gray and said, "It's just a weapon that resolutely implements the concept of slashing. Its shape, materials, core structure, and usage are all strictly in accordance with the needs of slashing."

"So multi-functionality does not mean that everything is sparse, but it should be outstanding and proficient in everything. Each equipment module strengthens one purpose, and then uses another purpose to supplement the shortcomings of the main purpose, forming an all-round product."

"Start by improving the functions of each equipment component and make up for each other's shortcomings. We can make up for the shortcomings while emphasizing the main functions."
