Chapter 157 In-depth Analysis and Blacksmithing Techniques
The word "earth" in the name of the earth elemental person is definitely not a fake. His ability is indeed extraordinary, and he quickly found a large mineral deposit nearby.
"Dark Star Iron Ore?" Athena's beautiful eyes widened again after hearing Chen Rui's translation of the earth element. Dark Star Iron is the best forging material, and the weapons produced are twice as sharp as ordinary weapons.
Above, and the enchantment effect has a chance of being doubled. One kilogram of Dark Star Iron is almost equivalent to one kilogram of gold crystals. It is an indispensable basic material for the best magic weapons. Unexpectedly, there are rich Dark Stars in the underground of Xilang Mountain.
Iron ore deposits!
The underground world is extremely rich in mineral deposits, the largest of which is the main vein of iron ore discovered by Dark Moon. In addition to Dark Star Iron, there are even more precious moonstones in the Earth Domain, as well as blood-patterned silver, secret magic sand, etc.
These rare mineral veins are distributed all over the ground, which is nothing more than a huge treasure house.
However, many mineral deposits are in dangerous areas where demon flies are currently infested, and some are buried quite deep. Of course, all of this cannot be hidden from the elemental people who have a strong sense of the earth element.
Athena was a little numb after hearing this. The iron ore produced in Xilang Mountain alone is already the highest quality in the Fallen Angel Empire. Even in the entire demon world, it is also one of the best. She never thought that there are so many precious treasures hidden in the ground.
mineral!
Due to the lack of materials, the Tauren have not forged weapons for a long time. The solution to the problem of impurities in the ore has made the passion of the Tauren, who are naturally fond of forging but have been unable to use it for a long time, unprecedentedly high. The entire Tauren lair seems to be in full swing.
Chen Rui is a complete layman in the aspect of casting and smelting. He only saw the tauren skillfully vibrating and crushing the ore, then grinding and screening it with special tools, and refining it in a high-temperature flame generated by special fuel. There was an increaser next to it.
The magic device needs to be pressed up and down to make the temperature of the flame higher, somewhat like a bellows.
The ore turns into a liquid state after a series of meltings, is separated, and some strange substances are added, and heated and stirred continuously. It seems to be some kind of purification process, and finally iron ore is obtained. Such complicated processes are just the beginning.
.
The first part is mainly about equipment, supplemented by some additional work, and the rest is mainly about human power. To be more precise, it is the power of cattle.
Watching the minotaurs repeatedly hammering the iron embryo with stone hammers, Chen Rui suddenly felt something in his heart, and told Delong that he wanted to learn forging. Delong patted his chest and said that it was no problem, and there was no need to wait for a while.
It turns out that the tauren have basically exhausted all their metal objects, including the hammers used for blacksmithing. Now the first thing the tauren have to forge is the tools for blacksmithing. Just like the old saying on earth: if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first be sharp.
its utensils.
Knocking is a refining process that removes impurities, and then it has to be forged into shape. It also has to go through casting, quenching, and finalization to get the required elemental embryo, which is the basic weapon. Don't forget, this is a magical world. If you want to get one
A powerful magical weapon, enchantment is essential.
The Minotaur's forging skills are well-known in the demon world, and are definitely not comparable to ordinary horned demon blacksmiths. Just the kind of knocking to remove impurities is not simple, and brute force alone is definitely not enough. Chen Rui, who is eager to try, took the Minotaur forging
With a good hammer, use enough star power to hit it a few times, and the sparks will fly high, but it will almost fly the iron embryo and accidentally injure Athena next to her.
At this time, even he was too embarrassed to try again. He just watched the movements of the tauren carefully. But this skill is the blood specialty of the tauren that has been passed down for thousands of years. It seems simple, but it is actually quite difficult. The more Chen Rui listened, the more confused he became.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through my heart. How could I have forgotten that skill?
Seeing Chen Rui's serious look, Delong seemed to be really interested in forging. He immediately demonstrated in person and told the essentials without any secret. As the leader, Delong was not only the most powerful among the Tauren tribe, but also
The level of forging is also one of the best. In his hands, every simple strike feels natural, and the whole process is like an art. Chen Rui has entered a state of highly concentrated mental power, and will
Delong's explanations and demonstrations were taken into his mind in detail. When Delong completed the casting of a simple hammer smoothly, the brilliance in Chen Rui's eyes gradually faded away.
Chen Rui did not continue to read, but closed his eyes, as if he was comprehending something. After about an hour, he opened them again. He asked for the hammer again and began to strike the iron embryo. Because of his criminal record, the surrounding people
The tauren and Athena both looked on guard to prevent accidental injuries from happening again.
However, Chen Rui's performance this time was unexpectedly good. Not only that, the Tauren's eyes gradually became surprised. This guy, who was obviously a complete novice just now, could actually start to refine iron embryos, and in one fell swoop,
The hammering was a bit jerky at first, but later it became extremely proficient, as if it had many years of experience.
The most surprising thing was Delong. On the surface, the simple tapping seemed to be similar. In fact, the techniques of each tauren were slightly different. However, the technique Chen Rui used turned out to be his, which was exactly the same. Could it be said that there was really a difference?
Such a genius can learn it completely with just one look?
Chen Rui knew nothing about the Tauren's surprise. Now he was completely immersed in comprehending the feedback information in his brain. With each hammer blow, he gained a little more insight. This kind of refining was a method that relied on repeated hammering to remove impurities.
The process requires very high control of strength.
Looking at this engrossed man, Athena felt that her eyes were firmly attracted. No wonder the book Alice gave her said that men who are serious and focused on something are the most attractive.
Chen Rui used the information imprint in his mind and combined it with the power rules of the Evil Realm to become more and more comfortable with the hammer in his hand. There was a faint "power" in his swing, the kind that he had with Araux in the arena.
The sign of a breakthrough that had appeared during the battle appeared again. The stardust light in the human form in the body was like some kind of flame, cheering for joy, as if it was about to break out of the body. Unfortunately, after all, it was so close that it still failed. Is it really like Pug?
Liwu said that high-level demons belong to the lower level. To break through to the middle-level demon king level, it is much more difficult than ordinary advancement?
Although he was a little regretful that he could not make a breakthrough, Chen Rui still concentrated on hammering the hammer in his hand. After a few hours, the refining process was finally completed. He was already sweating profusely. This kind of continuous hammering was very mentally draining and absolutely impossible.
It was no easier than a battle. Chen Rui put down the hammer, rubbed his sore arms, and then noticed the tauren around him with big eyes and small eyes.
Strictly speaking, this finished product is not particularly good among tauren. The problem is that Chen Rui was a rookie who knew nothing a few hours ago. In just a few hours, he completely mastered the tauren refining technology.
Essentials. Even the best bloodline tauren cannot do this!
Chen Rui smiled slightly, all thanks to a skill that is rarely used: in-depth analysis.
The first time he used this skill was when he was learning dragon language inscriptions. As a result, Pagliu's glasses almost broke to the ground, and now he almost blinded a lot of bull's eyes.
Just as Deron was about to speak, he saw the tauren who had gone to Medusa's lair to deliver a message hurried over and brought Tim's reply.
Chen Rui took a look at the reply and frowned tightly.
This letter should have been ordered by Queen Medusa to Tim to reply. In the letter, the queen expressed her opposition to the earth elemental rebels joining the alliance and suspected that it might be a trick of the earth elemental people. Not only that, Medusa
The queen pointed out unabashedly that the tauren did not understand the language of the earth elemental people, and the communication was controlled by Chen Rui. The so-called "truth" had very low credibility, and she would not bet the fate of her family on this.
On suspicious outsiders.
Regarding Queen Medusa's sharp opinions, Chen Rui could only smile bitterly, without hiding anything, and translated them to the Minotaur in detail.
Athena took a few glances at the letter before she seemed indignant: "We helped Queen Medusa heal the wounded, but she actually repaid us with kindness. If we hadn't escaped quickly, we would have been killed or imprisoned by her. Now.
We help the tauren and unite with the earth elements for the survival of all underground creatures, and she actually doubts Chen Rui!"
Although they didn't understand what Athena was talking about, Deron, Torre and others had heard about Chen Rui's encounter in Medusa's lair, and seeing her angry expression, they vaguely guessed the meaning of her words.
If it were a day ago, even though Chen Rui and Athena performed well in the battle, the Tauren might still have some doubts. But now that the Fountain of Life is under Chen Rui's control, it has contributed precious Devil Fruit.
Then he also solved the iron ore problem and completely gained the trust of the tauren.
Delong thought for a while and asked: "Chen Rui, what do you think?"
"The current situation is very serious. We must unite. If civil strife breaks out, the magic flies will only be eliminated one by one. I still try to meet Queen Medusa again. No matter how dangerous it is, I must truly gain her recognition and acceptance.
trust."
"I support you!" Delong showed admiration in his eyes: "Hearty, generous, and tolerant. This is the real man. If you have a handsome bull's head on your head, you will definitely become the most popular among women in our tribe.
Minotaur."
The tauren on the side nodded one after another. When Chen Rui heard this compliment, he felt a little bit uncomfortable in his heart. What is a 'handsome' tauren? Moreover, due to aesthetic issues, the "beauties" of the tauren tribe are too that.
…
Athena asked him what Delong said, but Chen Rui was too embarrassed to translate the Minotaur's exclusive praise to her. He just said that he planned to go to Medusa's lair again to lobby the stubborn and suspicious queen.
"No!" Athena objected firmly, "Last time you were almost petrified by her, it will definitely be dangerous this time!"
"No matter how fierce Queen Medusa is, her purpose is still for the survival of the tribe, otherwise she would not form an alliance with the Tauren, who were originally enemies. As long as I make the stakes clear, I believe she will definitely change her attitude." Looking at A
Xina's insistent expression made Chen Rui smile and add: "Don't you believe in your man?"
Athena's face turned red. Although she knew these tauren couldn't understand, she still pinched him in shame, but she felt faintly happy in her heart.
Delong laughed and said: "Don't worry, my friend, I will accompany you, but it may have to wait two days, because we have to prepare some gifts that those suspicious female snakes cannot refuse."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up and he focused on the tauren who were wielding hammers and working vigorously.
