In the entire weapon refining workshop, only warrior-level students can join, and the five people who can refine materials have reached the realm of high-level warriors. [26nbsp;] However, there are two students who are already refining weapons.
Under the guidance of two masters from the workshop, he began to learn how to make weapons. To make weapons, you must at least be fully qualified in refining the materials before you can learn. There are only two people with this qualification.
As a graduate of the military academy, you must join the army after graduation. After ten years in the academy, very few can truly advance to the rank of combat division upon graduation. In the army, combatants have no status at all, and junior warrior trainees are
When you first join the army, you also need to start as a corps leader, that is, a squad leader with only five soldiers under his command. Of course, he is the role that goes into battle.
Although the border war in Yueshan State is not very intense now, Anji State not far to the south and Wuhu State in the southwest are peeking at the territory of Yueshan State. There are still some minor frictions on the border. The mortality rate of trainees and graduates who join the army is average.
More than 40% of them are, but only 12% can be promoted through meritorious service, and most of them are the children of the military or big families.
Not all students in the academy intend to go to the battlefield. If they learn how to forge, they can stay in the academy or the military's logistics department. Not only will the salary be good, but there will be no danger. In the future, after serving in the army, they can also join a certain training camp.
Weapons workshop or simply open a small shop of your own. Therefore, when civilian students have the opportunity to learn blacksmithing, they naturally work very hard.
However, forging is not just about hard work, it also requires personal understanding, talent, and strong physical fitness. Although those students all work very hard, there are only a few who can really master the forging skills. Rough training only requires a strong body
All warriors can basically master it, but refining it is much more difficult. Not only do you need to have enough strength, but you also need to master the strength and rhythm of beating.
Rough refining only requires heating and melting the ore, and before the ore solidifies, the metal-containing material in the ore, which is relatively tough, is beaten into a rough embryo, while a large number of brittle and hard stone impurities are removed. This
This level of refining only requires a simple beating with strong force, so rough refining only requires sufficient strength to complete.
Refining is relatively more difficult. The rough embryo is heated and beaten continuously with a certain strength and rhythm. For forging and refining, it requires beating ninety-nine times after each heating. This is called one refinement in refining, and it can create fine products.
The materials of weapons are all so-called hundred-refined steel, which means it has been tempered a hundred times.
Of course, the refining of materials is not just a simple exercise of a few times. Each refining needs to have certain standards. Each refining can improve the purity of the material. However, as the impurities in the material decrease, the impurities and the active ingredients are closely combined.
The difficulty of refining naturally increases significantly. Those who can truly complete the Hundred Refinements are master-level craftsmen. Teachers in the academy can only achieve more than thirty refinings at most.
However, after five times of refining, the crude embryo can be used to refine weapons. The sword Xu Sancai bought was made of materials that have been refined five times. Materials that have been refined for about twenty times can be used to refine weapons.
High-quality weapons worth hundreds of gold coins, and materials that have been refined for more than thirty times can already be refined into high-quality weapons worth thousands of gold coins.
Xu Sancai and Zhang Dali just started to learn how to extract materials. Of course, they only did the simplest rough refining work. After heating the ore, they extracted a rough embryo containing metal components from the ore. The rough hammer weighed thirty
Jin doesn't require much skill, it just requires continuous beating with force.
However, the rough refining process requires vigorous beating, which requires a lot of strength. Moreover, the rougher the material, the more impurities it contains, and the harder and brittle the material is. It is easy to splash around and become hot during the beating process.
The sparks flying around can easily burn exposed skin and clothing.
Zhang Dali was born into a poor man, so he naturally cared about his clothes. He only wore a pair of obscene trousers when he was exercising, and his whole body was covered with scars from the splashing of flaming red ore particles. However, he didn't care about these and just concentrated on beating. He took on the chore of stone cutting.
After more than two years, I have now mastered the twelve main principles, my strength is basically no problem, and I can master the rough materials very quickly.
Xu Sancai's strength is far greater than Zhang Dali's, and his body's flexibility is much stronger than that of ordinary warriors. He mastered the rough refining technique much faster than Zhang Dali, and he refined the first rough piece that day.
After that, the task of the two of them is to refine more than three pieces of rough embryos every day.
A month later, as Xu Sancai became more and more proficient in beating skills, he could extract three rough embryos in less than two hours a day, and the purity of the extracted crude embryos was even higher than that of students who had been studying for a year.
They are all slightly better. Originally, a student needed to go through rough training for half a year before he could learn to refine, but he was appreciated by the teacher of the weapon refinement workshop and started learning to refine after a month.
The minimum weight of the refining hammer is 25 kilograms. Different from the simple way of swinging a rough refining hammer, during refining it is not that the bigger the better, but the right amount of force needs to be used according to the state changes of the material. After the material is heated and softened, it can withstand a larger beating.
, but the rough material is relatively hard and brittle, so you need to control the force during the beating process to prevent the material from breaking.
In addition, the beating process requires grasping the rhythm. During rough refining, you only need to continuously beat hard, while refining requires sensing the state of the material and grasping the rhythm of hammering. Once hammered, the material will deform, and the material will deform due to its unique toughness.
There will be rebound, and the second hammer needs to be struck when the material rebounds inside, so as to achieve the best forging effect. Due to the different properties of impurities and effective materials, the degree of rebound is also different. Beat the material when it rebounds, you can
Remove impurities to the greatest extent possible.
Of course, different metals have different degrees of toughness, and the proportions of impurities in the materials are also different. The degree and time of rebound when being beaten are naturally different. There is no fixed rhythm for hammering materials, but you need to feel it at any time.
The state of the material adjusts the tempering rhythm, which is why the blacksmith needs to have a metal root bone.
To understand the state of metal materials, you need not only metal-based bones, but also keen sensitivity. This kind of sensitivity is not the five senses. The elastic rebound of the material is a change in the internal structure, which cannot be seen with the eyes; red and hot materials
Of course it cannot be touched; the sound of the forging will vary depending on the force of the beating; the senses of smell and taste are of course useless.
