When Uncle Rivado took Jiao Xun's golden horn and pointed to a big yellow stone under the bed and told me that I could take it away, I almost fainted with excitement.
I've been to Uncle Rivado's house many times before, but I never thought that the stone he used as a stool was actually the piece of refined copper ore!
Refined copper ore is very precious. Generally speaking, there is a little bit of refined copper ore in the core part of the copper veins. It is a copper ore with extremely high density and quality formed after high temperature and high pressure. Its hardness is higher than that of ordinary iron. The ore is much harder, and weapons made from refined copper ore are generally not unknown.
Using all the strength I could muster, I carried out the big stone weighing more than two hundred kilograms. Looking at my cheerful look, Uncle Rivado burst into laughter. Being able to help others has always been the best thing among dwarves. Happy things.
I took the refined copper ore to the sorting place. I didn't rush to crush it. Instead, I sat on the big rock and recalled the Hundred Battles Sword that I had seen in the book. You know... the Hundred Battles Sword Technique is coordinated with It is used in the Hundred Battles Sword, so... there is no room for any deviation in the specifications of the sword.
Finally... I thought everything about the Hundred Battles Sword clearly, filled some soil from the mound next to the smelting place, poured water on it, and kneaded it into a dough-like mud ball.
Don't underestimate this mud. This is mud that has been specially processed by the dwarves. It has a very fine texture and is the best material for making molds.
After mixing the clay, I took a stick of silver tin, which is a special metal with a melting point of less than 100 degrees and is the best material for making models.
I took the hammer and started to shape the silver tin into the shape of the sword I imagined. The patriarch frowned and looked at what I had made. He had no idea what it was. The sword did not look like a sword, and the knife did not look like a knife. It seems straight but actually curved, it seems curved yet straight, the whole knife is weird.
I patiently carved the Bai Zhan Sword made of silver tin bit by bit. I know... The standard of the model directly determines the shape of the Bai Zhan Sword after it is formed. A slight difference can make a huge difference!
Just like an old lady doing embroidery, I repaired and engraved this custom-made model bit by bit, and finally... it took me a whole morning, and a sword with an ancient shape and a special shape was born! Of course... this is just a model made of silver tin. I still have a lot of work to do if I want to turn it into a real sword!
After finishing all the work, I put the sword into a tall and thin wooden barrel, then poured the reconciled mud into the barrel, then took it to the stove and baked it at a temperature of 50-60 degrees. This kind of mud is Its characteristic is that it will never dry out. Otherwise, ordinary mud would have cracked out of shape if it was baked like this.
Next... I put the coke into the smelting furnace, lit the fire, and ordered ten Pidgeots to start blowing air into the furnace. After a while... under the efforts of the Pidgeots, the coke burned red. You can feel the temperature in the stove from a long distance!
But... it's still too early for the temperature to actually start smelting. What I want to do now is to crush the refined copper ore into uniform particles and then throw them into the smelting furnace.
Ignoring Pidgeot's constant blowing of air into the smelting furnace, I took a sledgehammer and started crushing the refined copper ore I got from Uncle Rivado!
As expected of the refined copper ore, it was surprisingly hard. My hands were numb from the shock, but the refined copper ore was still fine. I spat into my hand twice. I gritted my teeth, picked up the big hammer, and smashed it hard. Go down.
when! when! when…
There were loud noises one after another, and finally... the stubborn copper ore finally disintegrated under my efforts, and slowly turned into pieces of uniform size. Next... I can start smelting.
Put all the ores in an iron basket and pour them one by one into the red-hot smelting furnace. Then cover the lid with mud, leaving only a smoke exhaust hole to vent the smoke.
For the next afternoon and night, ten beetles kept blowing air into the furnace. The melting point of the copper ore was too high, and it wasn't until the next morning that it finally melted one by one!
After releasing the copper water in the furnace, I started refining it again without hesitation and repeated it for a week. According to the patriarch, the purity of the refined copper is now basically 99.9999%, and it is impossible to improve the purity!
Until then, the remaining fine copper was only a fist-sized piece. I carefully put it away and put it in my treasure box together with the fist-sized black iron stone.
My treasure box is a large wooden box. I got it from the next door Xiagazi home. Now there are three things in this box. One was given to me by the patriarch of the family. It is said that it was when they found me. , I held a fist-sized silver-gray spar in my arms, another was a fist-sized black iron ore, and the third was the refined copper ore I had just refined!
The three ores are heavier than each other. The heaviest one is silver-gray spar, followed by black iron ore, and finally refined copper ore. These... are all the materials I will use when forging the True Hundred War Sword in the future!
After refining so many times, the refined copper ore is still good. Although it is a little worse than the piece of refined copper ore I collected, it is... much better than ordinary copper or even iron, and I They were the materials used to forge the first sword!
Throwing all the eliminated refined copper ore back into the smelting furnace, I started the last smelting. When the temperature of the furnace once again reached the temperature where the refined copper can dissolve, my sword was about to be born!
At this time... the mud in the slender wooden bucket containing silver tin had already dried up. I poured the mud out of the bucket and put it on the smelting furnace to burn. Suddenly... all the silver tin inside flowed out. Come out, and when the copper water from the refined copper ore flows out, pour it into this mold, and my Hundred Battle Knife is completed!
Finally... After I waited anxiously, the smelting furnace finally reached the temperature where the refined copper melted. I excitedly took the mold to the diversion port under the furnace, and then poked the bottom of the furnace with an iron hammer, and suddenly... it turned red. The fine copper water slowly flowed out and was poured into the mold along the small holes on the top of the mold!
After the mold was full, I quickly covered the small holes with soft mud, quickly held the mold to the edge of the pit I had dug in advance, put the entire mold into the pit, and quickly buried it layer by layer with fine sand. , until a small bag of earth was piled up before it stopped.
A few hours later, I dug out the soft soil with a shovel. At this time... the soil had become very hot, but... I couldn't care about it. Wearing insulated gloves made of slime, I was so excited. He took out the mold made of clay.
Eagerly holding the big soil strip, I quickly ran to the hard ground and smashed the soil strip to the ground with all my strength. With a muffled bang, the soil strip shattered!
Where the soil strips were broken, a long yellow knife rolled out from the soil strips, haha... This is my sword of hundreds of battles!
Ignoring the fact that it was hot to my hands, I rushed over quickly, grabbed the Baizhan sword on the ground, and looked at it carefully, haha... It was not out of shape at all. It was exactly the same as the sword made of silver tin. It's poured out of a mold.
The Baizhan Sword actually looks very similar to the Samurai Sword, but... on the basis of it, it has been slightly changed to make it more conducive to chopping!
The blade body is not the usual sharp and smooth blade, but has jagged teeth. Each tooth is very sharp and very strong. At first glance... it looks like a saw used by a carpenter!
The blade body has also been slightly changed. The bleeding groove is hollowed out, but the sharp tip of the katana is retained. Many special attacks rely on it!
The entire knife weighs 40 kilograms and is made entirely of fine copper. The blade has a very small curvature. While it is good for chopping, the blade is also very flexible in rotation. It is a treasured knife that I must use in a short time!
The next work is simple. It is nothing more than forging, modifying and perfecting the Hundred Battles Sword over and over again. This is monotonous and complicated, and it is also the most important part of the weapon. The key is whether the weapon is good or bad. It depends on this step!
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. As mentioned before, the weapons made by the dwarves are never sharpened. They are all hammered to create sharp edges. And because they are hammered, they are It is stronger and stronger than the one made by grinding!
I pooped and pooped, tirelessly tapping my Hundred Battles Sword repeatedly. Until I have the True Hundred Battles Sword, I will use this sword to conquer the world!
A week later, a sword with a cold light and a hundred battles appeared in my hand. It was no longer a semi-finished product, but an absolutely completed work!
The reason why I don't make my True Hundred Battle Knife now is because my current forging skills are still very poor, and the ore to cut me is also very scarce. I only have black iron ore, refined copper ore, and that unknown silver-grey piece. Crystals, other than that... I don't have any materials, and I won't consider ordinary materials.
