Chapter 101 Refining!
Under Ictor's guidance, the old carpenter quickly further improved the model, and the function of the gem-energy bolt with a complete structure is very obvious.
During this period, Ictor also explained "magic knowledge" to the two craftsmen.
In short, Ictor only needs them to know that by impacting the gem, it is enough to complete the excitation.
After Yiket finished his explanation, the two craftsmen immediately developed new ideas.
"Lord, according to your wishes, we can also replace the position of the hammer with gems, so that there is no need to install gems and magic crystals in a compact space at the same time."
The blacksmith Hammer suggested that the disadvantages of putting gems and magic crystals together are obvious because these two things are irregular.
Even if the gems can be polished and processed, Ictor doesn't care about the magic crystal.
Such a compact layout brings great challenges to the installation of fixtures.
But in fact, this is also a helpless move.
"Hammer head, you have a good idea, but if you replace the hammer with a gem, you also need a jig, and an adjustable jig is needed to accommodate gems of different sizes."
Otherwise, why did our ancestors play with the clamps for so long? If you talk too much, you will be tears.
But Ictor knew.
How happy would it be if he could bring an old fitter and his tools to travel through time.
Making spring steel is nothing more than a heat treatment.
Anyway, these movements, iron-blocking and triggers, either forging or casting, and if they really don’t work, they will get into a fitter.
To put it simply, it is to heat it at high temperature, then quench it hard, and then return it to medium temperature after quenching.
“Right.”
If you want to build a gun, the processing problem of each part must be solved. For this, Ictor in his previous life was also considered a "worker" who had a metalworking internship.
"Hammerhead, think about it carefully. Can we produce such a fixture?"
This is a practice of increasing the carbon content of wrought iron.
"Uh, it doesn't seem to be possible."
Generally, time travelers will not know how to deal with things like spring steel.
Let’s put the nagging aside for the time being. In short, Ictor was lucky enough to observe the production of spring steel during his "Metalworking Internship".
When recalling the feeling at that time, it is most likely that the old worker said, "It can be quenched!", Yiket said, "Wuhu! Quenching!", the old worker said, "It can be quenched!", Yiket said, "Wuhu! Re-tempering!".
Based on the fact that the melting point of the alloy is lower than that of the pure metal, Ictor directly brought in a large pot of cooked iron left by the previous generation of villagers, carved runes and prepared to start the operation.
This method is the famous "steel-frying method".
Ictor knows what this adjustable fixture looks like, but if you want to make that thing, you have to point out the technology of making screws.
There is no such thing as fitters that cannot be rubbed out (dog heads).
Two strong men worked very enthusiastically in the blacksmith's hut, and were so happy.
Now that he has said this, what else can the old carpenter say? He can only pick up the saw and file to work.
By controlling the time of stir-frying, you can obtain steel with different carbon content, or directly fry out cooked iron.
The iron ingots of the blacksmith shop and the pig iron smelted with ore are all pig iron with high carbon content.
Many Chinese people know this method of steel making, and it is reasonable for Yike to know it.
Ictor first heated the stove directly with magic, and then the two of them took off their tops and were naked and ready to start forging spring steel.
Of course, the empire's craftsmen could also smelp pig iron with higher carbon content, but they did not master the method to reduce the carbon content in pig iron.
But the object of the filing has now changed from wood to iron.
The Secarion Empire had methods to make steel, but most of it was made of forged and cooked iron using carburizing technology.
I hope Old Kent can find new pleasure in lifting iron.
Generally speaking, the craftsmen of the empire would use lower furnace temperature to smel out large pieces of iron, and the iron element was directly reduced by charcoal to produce cooked iron with a lower carbon content.
If not enough, Ictor will be ruined.
This thing is the real core technology of the flintlock rifle. No matter how simple the principle of the bolt is, it will be useless without spring steel.
Blacksmith Hammer Head and Ictor need to solve the problem of spring steel first.
After the last exchange, Yiket and others decided that these small parts should be solved by fitters.
Then, then hehe.
Although machinery cannot be said to be very scammed, it will be very scammed if you add some qualifiers.
Forging is definitely not enough.
The texture of the iron is too soft, so people want to improve its hardness, so there is a carburizing forging method, through repeated forging, carbon elements penetrates between the iron elements.
Ictor turned into a human-shaped blower and directly used magic to blow, which was much more powerful than the human-powered blowing.
The poor and ickety Ictor really doesn't have that skill anymore.
This steelmaking method is obviously faster than forging, and due to special reasons, the first gem excitation gun that Yiket wants to make will not be less steel.
These are the general steps.
"Okay, the structure has been determined like this. The problem of irregular gems and magic crystals is solved by fillings and fixtures, and the rest is the production problem of the entire gun."
Anyway, if I don't give it a try, Ictor will not be willing to do so.
After all, no one thought that this knowledge could be applied after traveling through time.
Even a few hand-pulling handfuls now seem very difficult.
In short, the method of stir-frying steel is to heat the pig iron to a melted or semi-melted state, and then blow the pig iron ore powder to oxidize the carbon and other elemental impurities in the pig iron.
However, if you want to make spring steel, you must first have steel.
If you don’t say it, you can at least understand a little, and sometimes it’s enough to understand a little.
The emergence of flintlock rifles is an advancement in the entire industrial level. Although Ictor can guide craftsmen to rub a few hand, it is only limited to rub a few handfuls.
Ictor was only lucky enough to operate it once when he was in the "Metalworking Internship".
With the human-shaped blower of Ictor, the hammer head can calm down and stir the gradually melted pig iron with force.
But Ictor accidentally fell into a mechanical pit in his previous life.
However, in the spirit of scientific experiments, Ictor believes that the difficulties should be overcome by relying on his and Hammerhead's record observations and summary.
But what raw materials are used, how much quenching, how much tempering, what liquid is used to cool, how to get the specific temperature
That would be a bit of a hard time.
Hammer poured several kilograms of pig iron into a large pot, and started stirring with a cooked iron shovel while heating it.
For Ictor, expecting new weapons is enough to erase any suffering.
For Hammerhead, it is quite joyful to learn new knowledge.
Unfortunately, because Ictor used too much force, the first batch of fried pure cooked iron.
But that doesn't matter. The resources in the territory are still enough for them to continue to build. Ictor can take this opportunity to summarize the steel-fried technology in detail.
