One month has passed quickly. During this month, everything about me has undergone earth-shaking changes. The first is the dwarf ax technique. In the words of the patriarch, I have completely learned the dwarf ax technique. The next step is It’s a matter of proficiency and practical skills.
Grandpa, the patriarch, was very surprised by my learning ability. In his long life, he had never seen anyone as smart as me.
I just smiled slightly at the compliment from the patriarch. Studying is what I'm best at. Otherwise, why would you think I got a double doctorate at the age of ten? It's just because of my super learning ability!
What I am doing now is to carefully observe other blacksmith uncles and blacksmith grandfathers, and observe how they apply their skills to forging.
After careful observation, I discovered that forging is not just about craftsmanship, there is also a lot of knowledge, mineral processing, smelting, alloying, quenching... The knowledge is simply endless, but... I am not worried about this. Not forgetting is my strong point. As long as I see, observe, and notice it, no matter what knowledge or technology it is, it will be quickly digested and absorbed by me and transformed into something of my own!
Now... I no longer study with other children. They have only learned the second ax among the 18 axes of the dwarves. It is still early for them to fail in learning. I just go to their place every day and follow them for morning exercises. And the finishing exercise in the evening is enough. At other times, the patriarch grandfather allowed me to observe the forging of other dwarf blacksmiths to experience the essence of forging!
On the other hand, my Nine-Yang Magic has also improved rapidly. Although I have not yet experienced the sense of Qi mentioned in the scriptures, my body has obviously become stronger, especially my strength. With the daily consolidation and increase, I am now My strength is already great. Grandpa, the clan leader, told me that he will accompany me to practice outside the village in the next few days!
Finally, there is the Dwarf Ax Technique. In the past month, I have not thought about the Hundred Battles Sword Technique anymore. I have devoted myself to studying the Dwarf Ax Technique. As the saying goes, it is always good to have more skills without stressing yourself out. It is always good to learn more things. What's more... the dwarf ax technique is the dwarf's forging hammer technique, which makes it even more worthwhile for me to concentrate on learning.
After a month of training, I have mastered the tomahawk skills proficiently. In the words of the patriarch, I have reached the point where I can actually fight, while other dwarf children will need at least a year to reach what I am now. status!
Although it has only been a month, my appearance has undergone tremendous changes. The muscles all over my body have begun to develop rapidly. The hard exercise has made my body full of strength. Although I am still far from maturity, ... Compared with dwarves of the same age, my strength advantage is overwhelming!
I am looking forward to and excited about the upcoming trial... After studying for so long, I finally have the opportunity to go outside the village. After I can leave the village, I can accept two other jobs-mining and transportation. Mine!
Although my initial range of activities is usually only within one kilometer, I believe that I will grow up quickly because... I have a clear goal, which is to become a qualified blacksmith as soon as possible and forge a sword for myself. ! For this goal, I will make every effort I can!
For several days, I tried my best to practice my dwarf ax skills and increase my strength. I meditated all night at night. While recovering from my fatigue, my strength also increased slowly but surely!
Finally... the trial time is coming, but... before the trial begins, I still have one most important thing to do, and that is to become a disciple!
As mentioned before, the dwarves have a rule that they will never forge any weapons or armor for other dwarves. In other words... the weapons I participate in the trial must be forged by myself! If you want to learn forging, you must become a master of a dwarf blacksmith and learn forging skills.
Generally speaking, a dwarf's master is his father, because... every dwarf is a blacksmith, and there is no need to be a master of others. Usually... every dwarf has his own forging experience, and such skills cannot be passed on to him. Who will the child be passed on to
But I'm different, I don't have any relatives here, everything is strange, so... I have to choose my master myself and get the other party's consent.
Fortunately, my luck is really good. Grandpa the patriarch greatly appreciated my learning ability and personally accepted me as his apprentice. You know... Grandpa the patriarch is the greatest blacksmith of the dwarves in the past 300 years, and he is also the most talented in the past thousands of years. The blacksmith once forged eight peerless weapons, and because of this... he became the leader of the dwarf tribe in one fell swoop!
After spending a whole morning, the clan leader personally taught me the basic skills of forging, the most basic forging techniques, and personally demonstrated how to forge a special battle ax for the dwarves!
The battle axes of the dwarves are all short-handled. Only the tauren of the orcs use long-handled giant axes. The short stature of the dwarves determines that no matter how powerful they are, they cannot use long-handled giant axes!
Early in the morning, I first practiced the dwarf battle ax for two hours, and then, led by the patriarch, I walked towards the back of the village...
The dwarf village was built in a mountain col. Only the entrance of the village faced the wilderness. Inside the village was the mountain. On weekdays, most of the dwarves mined ore from the mountain wall behind for smelting and forging.
To the left of the dwarf village is a small pier. Outside the pier is the endless Splendid Lake. I have seen the sea. The only difference between this lake and the sea is that there are no such turbulent waves, and... the lake is green. , not as blue as the sea!
It took me a whole morning, and under the guidance of the patriarch, I learned how to identify iron ore. It is actually very simple... First, look at the color. The color of iron ore is darker and heavier. The most important thing is, Grandpa, the patriarch, gave me a small piece of magnet. If it were iron ore, the magnet would be attracted to the iron ore.
After mining all morning, I finally mined enough iron ore. The patriarch told me that the ore was enough to smelt the iron required to forge a 20-kilogram dwarf ax!
After drinking some papaya porridge at noon, the patriarch’s grandpa personally demonstrated how to smelt ore and separate the stone and iron. After the demonstration, he asked me to experiment by myself. The patriarch’s grandpa said that only the knowledge gained by oneself can be remembered. More reliable!
The smelting furnace is an earthen kiln made of clay. Special coke is first put in, and the fire is started to make the coke burn to its peak. Then the iron ore is poured in, covered and smoldering.
The ones responsible for blowing the wind are ten Pidgeots. Pidgeots are wind-type monsters that can spray strong wind from their mouths, causing damage to enemies...
Of course... these Pidgeots are all trained. Most Pidgeots can only launch small tornadoes, but trained Pidgeots can blow the wind that meets the blacksmith's requirements!
Through more than a dozen pipes, ten stupid beasts blew strong wind into the furnace without stopping, causing the coke in the furnace to burn vigorously and the temperature to rise rapidly!
When the temperature exceeds a certain level, the iron ore in the furnace begins to melt and turns into a magma-like liquid. At this time... the first step of smelting is completed.
When all the ores in the furnace turn into liquid, quickly prepare a piece of wet clay, go to the front door of the furnace, use an iron bar to poke open the guide opening at the bottom, and draw out the liquid inside...
Since the solution of iron ore is heavier than that of ordinary ore,... the molten iron will gather at the bottom. More than 90% of the liquid flowing out of the guide tank is molten iron, which is the main material for forging!
According to the amount of ore, determine how much molten iron should be received. If you add too much, the solution of the rock will be drawn out, which will affect the purity of the iron ore. But if you add less, the molten iron will be wasted, and the molten iron that does not flow out will be Dumped away along with the rest of the stone solution.
After receiving the molten iron, the first step of smelting is completed. A certain amount of pig iron has been obtained. Next... it is time to start refining. If you want to create a good weapon, the refining of the ore is very important. The purity of the iron The higher it is, the better the material of the weapon will be, and correspondingly...the strength of the weapon will be greater!
After draining the ore solution in the furnace, pour the molten iron in again, add coke and continue burning. After several times in a row, the molten iron obtained is high-purity molten iron!
Generally speaking, after nine consecutive refinings of the ore, the purity of the molten iron will reach more than 99%, and the next step of work can be started!
Take out the pre-engraved mold and catch the molten iron flowing out of the guide groove. When the molten iron fills the entire mold, there will be very little molten iron left.
After slowly waiting for the molten iron in the mold to cool down, smash the mold, and you will get a rough and ugly pig iron dwarf battle ax. Next... you have to start the most important work - forging!
