"Hammer, I don't know what you think about white iron and black iron. What's the difference between them?" Ryan asked, looking at Hammer who was furious and trying to find his life.
"White iron is more expensive, black iron is cheaper." Iron Hammer's answer made Ryan feel ashamed. What is all this?
Ryan had to ask again, and asked more deeply: "I'm asking you about their essential differences?"
"Oh! I told you earlier, not only is black iron not as hard as white iron, but its toughness is also not as good as white iron. The last thing is corrosion resistance. A white iron weapon can be used for many years, but a black iron weapon, no matter how well maintained, will only last a few years.
It requires a lot of effort, and weapons made of white iron are not only sharp, but also highly durable, which is why white iron is more expensive than black iron." The hammer shook his beard and said one by one, but in the end he said that the money was on it.
.
"I wonder how much white iron you can make with a hammer in one day?" Then Ryan asked a crucial question.
"One day? One day can make white iron. You must know that to make white iron, you need to forge it repeatedly at least a hundred times. During these hundreds of times, it must be continuously calcined and then cooled. Not to mention how much physical strength it takes, even the temperature of this furnace can
You can't bear it. According to my level, one ingot of white iron can be produced in three days." Tie Hammer replied proudly, one ingot weighs about 10 kilograms.
"Hey, Iron Hammer, if I have a method that can produce white iron on a large scale, I don't know about you...!" Ryan asked with a smile.
"Stop, stop, that's alchemy, it's not suitable for us!" Ryan originally thought that this would be very attractive to Iron Hammer, but Iron Hammer quickly refused, leaving Ryan confused for a moment.
How to start.
"Just do the math. You, several black dragons, and that Xiaoli, how many people are there? Are you the ones we can hire?" Tie Zhui then told the reason.
When Ryan heard Iron Hammer say this, he realized that this guy knew how he and his people refined the hull, so of course he had to refuse. If nothing else, the price of ten black dragons would make the dwarves die. Thinking of this,
Here, Ryan showed a smile again. Everyone familiar with him knew that when Ryan showed such a smile, he must have made a fortune again: "Chief of the Hammer Clan, if an ordinary person can use some tools, in half a day
Refining an ingot of white iron, I don’t know…!”
"Impossible, if that's the case, I'll...I'll eat this hammer myself." To Ryan's surprise, instead of being overjoyed, the hammer jumped up, as if Ryan had offended him.
.
"You are nakedly contemptuous of the forging skills of our dwarves. This is a provocation! A provocation! I want to fight you... to have a forging competition." After Iron Hammer jumped up, he pointed at Ryan's nose and roared loudly.
"Huh! Let's bet!" Ryan knew that he couldn't back down at this time, otherwise these dwarves would look down on him. Then Ryan led the hammer maker to the dwarf clan's settlement in the wilderness, which was actually a hollowed out place.
In the heart of the mountain, compared with the natural losses caused by random mining and excavation on the earth, the caves dug by the dwarves did no harm to nature. Not to mention the stream flow was cut off. Even the trees on the surface of the ground still grew and the streams remained within the subsidence.
.
"Hmph, damn boy, just wait and admit defeat!" Iron Hammer stood in front of the stove, with some black iron, forging tools, and a large bottle of wine already placed on it, while there was only a crucible in front of Ryan, some
Black iron, some white ash, limestone, a kind of stone used for road construction, some fools, some wood and tools.
"Does Sir Ryan want to use wood to increase the temperature of the fire?"
"So what is the sand used for?"
The competition between Ryan and Hammer attracted many dwarves. It was obvious that these dwarves came to watch the fun. Suddenly, the originally empty forging cave was filled with people, and the crowd was talking about it.
There are those who are curious, but most people come here for the hammer forging skills.
"Ahem, please note that during the competition, magic power and fighting spirit are not allowed to be used. To build a standard one-handed sword, let's start now." The referee said the rules and signaled the start.
"Haha!" Iron Hammer laughed loudly, and quickly put the black iron into the furnace. This furnace is the source of fire in the volcano. Below the furnace is a connected magma river, and a red flame spurts out in the furnace.
After coming out, within a moment, the black iron began to turn red.
"Poof! Boom!" With a sound, Iron Hammer saw the black iron begin to turn red, so he took a sip of wine and sprayed it directly into the stove, and then a large stream of flames spewed out from the stove.
"Did you see it? This is Master Hammer's special skill. When he sprays out a mouthful of wine, the melting speed of black iron will be accelerated by at least half the time. However, the amount of this wine is key. Less will not have any effect, and more will lower the temperature." Some.
The dwarf pointed to some little guys around him.
"Haha, it's just a combustion accelerant!" Ryan calmly put the black iron into the crucible, added an appropriate amount of other materials, then picked up the wood and started to make a mold. Ryan planned to use casting
Law.
"Dang! Dang!" The black iron on Ryan's side has not melted yet. The hammer master has melted the black iron into one piece. After cooling it for a while, he started to pick up the hammer and start forging.
"When you see that there is no forging, the strength and position of the hammer must be even...!" Countless dwarves began to teach their children by words and deeds. After all, when they reached the level of hammers, they rarely did it themselves.
"Damn humans, how dare you despise the forging skills of our dwarves!" Iron Hammer was angry, so he forged faster. Every time the iron block cooled down, Master Hammer put the iron block in very quickly.
Calcining and then using wine as a combustion accelerant is a very good technique. Just like in a fire, a small amount of water can only speed up the burning of the flame.
"Wooden sword, actually a wooden sword?" At this time, Ryan's side attracted the attention of many people, because Ryan was holding a wooden sword in his hand, and he kept making gestures in his hand, and the other dwarves
They were all stunned. Could it be that Master Ryan was planning to use magical alchemy to cheat?
"Press the wooden sword in the sand?" Then Ryan's actions became even more confusing. There was no way. There was no professional mold, so we had to use homespun methods. Fortunately, Ryan still knew some homespun methods.
Next, Ryan used tools to remove impurities on the surface of the melted molten iron. As the temperature continued to increase, the molten iron began to change color. After about a few hours, the molten iron had reached Ryan's needs. Ryan used
Tools poured molten iron directly into the clay mold made of sand. With one crucible of molten iron, Ryan cast three one-handed swords, which were then polished.
"Cang! Cang!" The hammer has been repeatedly forged ten times. At this speed, the hammer master can complete the one-handed sword in two days.
"Haha, who of you will help me polish it?" Ryan picked up three one-handed swords that had cooled down and asked the dwarves around them.
"Me! Me! Me!" came out a few people from Kobe who Ryan was familiar with.
"Haha, it's Kobe!" Ryan saw the three familiar Kobes and thought of his time in the Underdark. He hugged the three of them excitedly.
"Ryan...Ryan!" Kobe and the others were still a little nervous. Kobe was now a level 3 warrior, and he was already capable of some basic forging tasks, and polishing was one of them.
"Hmph!" Iron Hammer looked at the three ugly one-handed swords and snorted with disdain. In Iron Hammer's eyes, these were just similar-looking one-handed swords.
"Baitie, it's Baitie's one-handed sword." Kobe exclaimed as soon as he took the one-handed sword in his hand.
"Impossible?" The first person to rush over was the hammer. You must know that it is not easy to forge fine iron, and it is even more difficult to forge white iron. In just three hours, white iron was forged. In the hammer
In my eyes, this is just a joke.
"You're cheating!" Iron Hammer grabbed the rough one-handed sword with his hands, and then shouted loudly, obviously admitting that it was Bai Tie.
"Then I'll take command, and you choose the person yourself." Ryan shrugged and said to the hammer.
"I lost!" A few hours later, Tie Hammer did it again with his own hands, but instead of being frustrated, Tie Hammer was very excited.
"Master Ryan, if you have any conditions, just ask." Iron Hammer certainly knew that Ryan took out this thing for no reason, and there could be no conditions.
"Haha, Master Hammer, do you think there is any difference between this one-handed sword and the one you forged?" Ryan asked with a smile.
"Hmph, although this is a one-handed white iron sword, it is far inferior to the one I forged. It is weaker in terms of toughness, hardness, and other aspects." He asked, feeling very proud of this iron hammer.
"If I had a way to make every single-handed sword have the quality you made, and I could make thousands of them a day!" Ryan was talking about rolling steel, but this requires some large machinery, which is why Ryan pulled the dwarf.
One of the reasons for being a clan.
"No...it's impossible, right?" Tie Hammer did not dare to deny it easily this time, but stammered in reply. He made thousands of master-quality one-handed swords every day. Tie Hammer was very suspicious that there was something wrong with his ears.
The Latin patriarchs of the surrounding dwarves and dwarfs also widened their eyes and opened their mouths. Thousands of master-quality one-handed swords, thousands of them. Even the entire dwarf clan did not have so many, and this was only a day's production. All of them.
Everyone was shocked by Ryan's words and couldn't believe it was true.
