Chapter 120 The birth of the artifact, this special meow is called a surprise
That night, Dian Wei can never forget...
Which obsession is buried in Dian Wei's heart.
Not long ago, on a dark and windy night, under the southern gate of Chenliu County, Ta Dianwei and Lu Bu had a head-to-head fight.
The two of them were evenly matched.
Kandian Wei Shangwu, before fighting Lu Bu, originally believed in "one force can defeat ten societies". With his absolute strength, no one could be his opponent.
But the fight with Lu Bu made him discover his weaknesses and gaps!
Whether it is equestrian skills or the combination of man and halberd, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are adept, and his unparalleled martial arts skills are unparalleled. Even if Dian Wei practices for five more years, he may not be able to catch up with him in ten years.
If you want to defeat Lu Bu and break this obsession, you have to find another way.
In the past, Mr. Lu Yu mentioned this forged steel. Mr. Lu Yu once said that if steel can be forged successfully, then the weapons forged based on steel will be able to cut stone and metal, and cut iron like mud.
It is true that his ability to combine Dianwei and Renren's halberd is not as good as Lu Bu's, but if the sharpness of the weapon is far better than Lu Bu's, and even as Master Lu Yu said, if the fine steel halberd can break Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Halberd, then
…The future confrontation between the two is another story.
For this reason, and because of his obsession with defeating Lu Bu, Dian Wei was staring at the furnace with all his concentration, staring at the changes in the iron in it...
This was the umpteenth time in the past two days that he had tried pouring liquid wrought iron into pig iron... He remembered clearly that all the previous thirteen times had failed, and this time, for the fourteenth time, he had made a new adjustment.
Will it succeed?
On the other hand, Dian Wei still didn't notice Lu Yu.
The craftsman was still telling Lu Yu in detail. "Dian Dutong hardly slept in the past two days. When he was tired, he would lie on the floor next to the furnace for a while. When he was hungry, he would stuff his stomach with whatever he wanted. He... was like
The devil was stunned."
At this point, the craftsman turned his eyes to Dian Wei. "Sigh... We have been forging steel for so long, and we all know that even though Mr. Lu's method is good, the steel forging steps are complicated and require repeated attempts. It cannot be completed overnight.
Dian Dutong seems a little eager for success."
Speaking of this, the craftsman seemed to realize that he had rested enough, and immediately offered his hand to Lu Yu again. "Master Lu, I will go and assist the generals..."
"Go ahead..." Lu Yu signaled him not to worry about him, and when the craftsman walked into Dian Wei's side, both pairs of eyes stared at the furnace, taking in every change in it without taking his eyes off...
It was very hot next to the furnace, but within a short time, the craftsman was already sweating profusely, and Dian Wei was even more exaggerated. His sweat-soaked clothes were almost close to his body, outlining his strong eight-pack abs.
The whole body is dented with four words - Kong Wuli, and there seem to be two words flashing in the resolute eyes - Persistence.
call…
Lu Yu took a long breath. For a moment, he admired Dian Wei...
Come to think of it, while he and Sister Zhao Ji were playing happily, Dian Wei was forging steel;
At night, when he was learning new postures from the housemaid, Dian Wei was still forging steel. Although learning new postures was tiring, thinking about Dian Wei... Lu Yu felt that his waist suddenly became a lot stronger, and the sky was clear.
Now, the rain stopped, and he felt like he was okay again.
Turning his head, he saw Cao Mu's horrified eyes...
Although there was still a certain distance from the furnace, the fragrant sweat on her body continued to flow out, and her upper body felt a little wet.
Of course, Cao Mu couldn't care about this. What surprised her again and again was why... could these big men withstand such a scorching temperature next to the furnace?
Even if they are made of iron, they will melt, right?
besides…
Why, they can do it. In order to forge a material, they stay here for several days, and even give up the most basic things of eating and sleeping. What kind of mood is this?
"Did you see it?" Lu Yu said at the right time... He glanced at Cao Mu from the corner of his eye. It was also very hot here. Once Cao Mu's upper body got wet, the outline became particularly clear. This inevitably made Lu Yu's eyes feel trance...
"You just heard it, this is forging!"
"It's no exaggeration to tell you that even though Dian Wei has stayed here for such a long time and almost doesn't sleep every day, he still fails again and again and is still far away from success."
"But what's valuable about him is that he doesn't get discouraged every time he fails, but repeats it again and again. This is just for the slim hope of success. Now, do you think that forging... or in other words, you still think that 'Baigong' is a
A very simple thing? Is it something a servant should do?"
Lu Yu felt that it was necessary to instill in Cao Mupu the "craftsman spirit" of the new era. Craftsmen are the most valuable people in any era!
Of course, his preaching words were like needles pricking Cao Mu...
Does it hurt? It doesn't hurt much, it just makes her feel extremely ashamed.
She suddenly felt why Lu Yu valued "hundred craftsmen" so much? He valued craftsmen so much. She could also understand why the swords of Zheng State, the scales of Song State, the daggers of Lu State, and the swords of Wu Yue were famous all over the world.
Created for heaven and earth.
And...the twelve words mentioned by Lu Yu - "The sky has its timing, the earth has its energy, the materials have their beauty, and the workmanship has their skill", do they also contain great principles?
No wonder...mother and father like Lu Yu so much?
There is indeed a kind of magic in him that can make craftsmen work hard for him, and this comes from his understanding of craftsmanship and respect for craftsmen.
It is precisely this kind of magic that makes people intoxicated.
After some emotion, Cao Mu was about to say something...
But at this moment...
"It's done, it's done..."
Suddenly, Dian Wei screamed and jumped up. At this moment, all the craftsmen quickly gathered around him.
Sure enough, this time under Dianwei's temperature control, the reaction between the liquid wrought iron and the pig iron was extremely good. Almost every part of the black pig iron was completely eroded and covered by the red liquid wrought iron...
The craftsmen here have been forging steel for many days. What is the result? How hard it is can be judged almost at a glance. The reaction of iron and steel this time is the most anticipated in the past few months.
A large amount of gas emerged from the furnace, like hot water boiling... Soon, all the craftsmen cooperated, some were responsible for controlling the temperature, others were responsible for observing, and Dian Wei began to direct based on his experience...
Gradually, the temperature dropped deliberately. This was Dian Wei's experience. After the pig iron and wrought iron are fused, they should be given a certain amount of time to solidify...
After the iron solidified, Dian Wei used pliers to take out a red piece of unknown material from the furnace.
Seeing this scene... Lu Yu and Cao Mu were both a little excited. This scene of witnessing a miraculous moment made them yearn for it and made their imaginations wander.
"This... this is already..." Cao Mu spoke subconsciously. She had too many questions to ask, but she didn't know where to start.
I still suffer the loss of not knowing how to forge...
"Shh... don't disturb them." Lu Yu reminded, the more critical the moment, the more important it is for Dian Wei and these craftsmen to pay full attention.
It is not uncommon in history for stories of embankments of thousands of miles being destroyed by ant nests...
At this time, after repeatedly observing the red unknown material, Dian Wei immediately ordered, "Cross the water..."
This is the last step to allow the steel that has completed the oxidation reaction to cool completely.
Wow... Wow... Wow...
Big buckets of water were poured on the red unknown material. Lu Yu was extremely nervous looking at it from a distance, but now...Dian Wei was ten times, a hundred times more nervous than him...
All that's left is the final verification.
"Where's the hammer?" Dian Wei immediately ordered.
"Here it is..." A craftsman picked up a hammer and brought it to Dian Wei.
"One more!" Dian Wei tried to test that the weight of the hammer was a bit light, and it would not be a big problem to use his strength to shoot the bow left and right.
Oh... It seems that the craftsmen were a little surprised, but... they still followed Dian Wei's instructions and handed over the other hammer, and then... there was a continuous "bang, bang" sound during forging...
An expert would know if it was there as soon as he made a move. Lu Yu saw it clearly. Dian Wei opened his bow left and right, and the two hammers began to forge the new material continuously.
The tyrannical power and violent blow are just like some legendary forging skill - the random cloak hammering technique!
Logically speaking, it would be difficult for a normal person to be able to lift a hammer, but Dianwei controlled two sledgehammers at the same time, just like he was holding two chickens, moving like flying.
This impressed Lu Yu, who couldn't stand up to a bag of rice from the fifth floor.
What Dian Wei made seems to be a dagger. This one is easier to make. As for forged steel, the final result still needs to be verified. It is enough to use a dagger to verify it.
If a dagger made of fine steel cannot even shatter ordinary iron, then it is considered a complete failure... and the results of the hard forging will be of no value.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Under the sky, the sound of hammering could be heard continuously. Dian Wei was sweating profusely, and the sweat beads all over his body further demonstrated his unique masculine charm.
Lu Yu just watched silently, and Cao Mu was like an obedient little white rabbit, not daring to express his anger.
However, at this moment, Cao Mu felt that the education he had received over the years was completely useless. The knowledge he learned from the great scholars was of no value and was not as good as what he saw here...
She suddenly understood why Lu Yu said that she was "one bottle with half a bottle hanging around". Haha, now that I think about it, this is not a sarcasm at all. Is it a compliment to her?
Half a bottle hanging around? Cao Mu felt that he didn't have half a bottle... Where would he come from?
I'm convinced, I'm totally convinced...
She admitted that Lu Yu was much more knowledgeable and experienced than her, and his talent and learning were even a hundred times or a thousand times better than hers!
an hour;
two hours;
Three hours... Not to mention breakfast, now, even the lunch time has passed. Not only are Lu Yu and Cao Mu not hungry, but they are full of energy. They are looking forward to the final result.
Finally, after four hours, Dian Wei finally completed the forging. Fortunately, he had both hammers at the same time, otherwise...it would have taken at least two or three more hours.
"Come…"
As soon as he finished his "new work", Dian Wei couldn't wait to lift up the "fine steel dagger". The craftsman next to him immediately took out an iron sword to test the power of the dagger.
Dian Wei waved his hand. "Use a hammer! The hardest hammer for forging!"
Ah... The craftsmen were stunned. The material of the hammer was stronger than ordinary spears and halberds. If the hammer collided with an iron dagger, the iron dagger would be crushed into pieces in an instant.
Do you really want to try this?
"It's okay, just use this..." Dian Wei let out another loud howl without any trace of ink.
The craftsmen saw that he was determined. One of them lifted the hammer, and both of them raised their arms with all their strength...
It stands to reason that a dagger is not enough to unleash a person's full strength, but a hammer from top to bottom is more powerful than a thousand catties?
However, Dian Wei has a feeling that this steel dagger will definitely work!
"Come…"
There was another shout, too late, but soon enough, the dagger and the heavy hammer had already collided together. Because they had exerted all their strength, sparks flew from the dagger and the heavy hammer... Everyone's mood was even higher in their throats.
Eyes.
"What's the result?" Lu Yu whispered, subconsciously taking a step forward...
At the same time, a surprising scene happened. The heavy hammer was shaken by the small dagger and cracked into tiny gaps. "Crack", "click..." This is the sound of cracks in the iron...
Immediately afterwards, a sound of "Bang, bang, bang..." suddenly came out, and the front corner of the entire hammer was completely shattered by the blow of the dagger.
Although it is only a small amount, but... Facts have proved that it is a success, forging steel is a success!
"It's done..." Lu Yu jumped three feet. After spending so much money, consuming so much iron, and so much energy, he finally mastered this steel.
At this moment, Lu Yu was extremely excited. He really wanted to write a book called "How Steel Was Tempered"!
Excited, he also ran towards Dian Wei, but Cao Mu behind him seemed to...have not yet reacted, or in other words, in her perception, a dagger shattering a heavy hammer did not seem to be anything...
As for being so happy?
Little did she know that this little steel dagger was no less sharp than his father's Yitian and Qingzhi swords...
She would not even know what the completion of the steel forging technique would mean to the entire Dragon Knight Cavalry, and even to the entire Cao Army.
As for her father Cao Cao's casting of Yitian, Queen Qingzhi's claims about meteorites falling from the sky are all lies.
In fact, it is nothing more than a coincidence...
The Yitian Sword and the Qingzhi Sword were born because after a fire broke out in the forge, two pieces of extremely stiff iron were found in the raging fire. It was also a coincidence that the fusion of pig iron and wrought iron was completed.
If we really want to talk about the sharpness, Yitian and Qingzhi will definitely be comparable to Dianwei's dagger.
At this time, Dian Wei was excited and saw Lu Yu running towards him. He was slightly startled at first, and then picked him up. He looked quite excited.
"Master Lu, it's done, I succeeded..."
"If a pair of halberds are forged from this fine steel, I will no longer be afraid of that kid Lu Bu, hahahaha... Even in equestrian skills, that kid Lu Bu is still better than me, but with the power of the magic weapon, I will definitely be able to
Cut off his head!"
"Hahaha...hahaha..."
Dian Wei was so excited that he couldn't help but throw Lu Yu into the sky...
You know, if it hadn't been for the idea provided by Mr. Lu Yu, how could he have found a way to defeat Lu Bu so easily.
On the other hand, Lu Yu...
He finally understood why Dian Wei worked so hard to forge. It turned out to be to defeat Lu Bu? What an honest man's stubborn obsession!
Wait...Dian Wei just mentioned something - "Even in equestrian skills, Lu Bu's son is still better than me!"
Equestrian?
Lu Yu thought...Why should Dian Wei be inferior to Lu Bu in equestrian skills? Isn't this a very simple question?
Steel can be forged. Isn't it easy to forge an iron stirrup? Is it as easy as flipping a finger?
You know, the addition of iron stirrups to riding skills is as good as the addition of fine steel halberds to combat strength...
Hiss... think about it this way.
Immediately the scene came up, Dian Wei was stepping on a hot wheel... ah, no, that's wrong, it was Dian Wei riding on iron stirrups and holding a pair of fine steel halberds. Damn... The ancient evil was no longer invincible in foot combat, just
Even horse battles require an invincible rhythm!
At this moment, Lu Yu wanted to say goodbye to Lu Bu from a distance——
——Classmate Lu Bu, please tell me, what the hell is a surprise?
