After logging off the assembly line, Liu Weian slept all the time. This sleep was so dark that he didn't get up until nine o'clock the next morning. It was the first time he woke up so late in these years. When he woke up, he was full of energy, the pain and fatigue all over his body had disappeared, and he found that the starry sky pattern in the "Dark Emperor's Book" had lit up again. This discovery surprised and delighted him. Light pattern.
After offering sacrifices to the Five Viscera Temple, go online.
If he didn't get the "Foundry Manual", he should have sold the ore at this time and exchanged it for money to buy power seeds. However, this kind of thinking is gone now. With such a good ore, there is no need to make it cheaper for others. It is better to keep it for yourself. . However, other harvests in the cave during the past ten days can be cleaned up.
Except for the space ring and the bow, I bought everything else. He even bought more than 800 gold coins, which made people sigh how fast the money came from the robbery.
I made a thousand talisman arrows, and then went shopping in the gambling bag shop. Unfortunately, I didn't see any good things, so I opened two bronze wares and made a small profit of more than 50 gold coins. He happened to meet Hei Niu who had just been revived, and he told Liu Weian that Tong Xiaoxiao had broken through to the bronze level and went to escort the convoy, but Lu Yan left after breaking through, and she asked Hei Niu to tell Liu Weian that she She wants to go out alone and follow Liu Wei'an. Without danger and persecution, it is difficult for her to make progress, so she can only choose to leave. If one day, she can become a master, she will come back. if one day...
Saying goodbye to Hei Niu, Liu Wei'an felt a little sad. During this time, Lu Yan had been by his side, getting along day and night, and he was used to the existence of the other party, but Lu Yan left before he even had time to say goodbye in person.
"Hope you come back soon."
The person had already left, so Liu Weian could only be a blessing. He picked up his mood and started his big plan. However, he soon found out that he was wrong. Forging iron is definitely not as simple as hitting the iron block with a hammer back and forth. The content contained in it is simply all-encompassing and extremely complicated.
First of all, yours will be purified, otherwise, you will not be able to forge iron. However, this step can be lazy now, because you can directly buy iron that has been purified by others.
But this step is useless for Liu Wei'an, he can't purify the blue ice iron for others. Once such a precious special ore is discovered, it will be equivalent to a steady stream of troubles.
So, I had to do it myself.
Casting is far more complicated than imagined. Mineral dressing, refining, shaping, hammering, quenching, and sharpening, each step is enough for ordinary people to learn for a lifetime. This is still the way of making ordinary weapons. For magic weapons, there are still procedures such as engraving patterns and inlaying gems. Any step will cause problems. , it will affect the quality of the weapon, and even its success. Let's talk about mineral processing, taking copper ore as an example.
Copper mines are divided into bronze, green copper, red copper, brass, red copper and cupronickel. Different copper mines have different purity and different impurities. Some impurities are beneficial, but more impurities are harmful. How to select and identify depends entirely on the individual, and how to turn waste into treasure depends entirely on means. Of course, it is too early to say these things now, Liu Weian is just a newcomer, what he needs most now is to know these ores,
Not only must you know, but you must also be familiar with it. This familiarity is not only about the properties, ingredients, and functions of the ore, but also the price evaluation. Even people with deep pockets cannot ignore the price issue.
There are 800 kinds of ores in the world, except for some extraterrestrial meteorites and those that have not yet been discovered by humans. It takes at least one to two years to get to know all the ores. If you want to get familiar with it, three to five years is normal . After passing this step, it is refining.
Refining is divided into two parts. The first is to extract the metal from the ore. This process is called rough refining. The second is to remove unnecessary impurities in the metal. This process is called refining. Plasticity can only be performed after the required metals are extracted.
The three essential things for refining are furnace, flame and fuel. The fuel determines the flame, and the flame determines the effect of refining.
Shaping is not as simple as a dwarf holding a hammer on TV. It involves a series of knowledge such as mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, design, etc. If you want to become a qualified craftsman, these things are indispensable , To make an analogy, a person forged a magic weapon, which was extremely sharp, but there was a flaw in the design, and it broke after a few uses. Such a magic weapon was unqualified, and it was just a waste of materials and energy.
Tempering requires very strict physical strength and strength. The most important thing is to be able to wield a hammer that can hold dozens of kilograms. Second, it must have strong endurance. It often takes days and nights to create a magical weapon. As a result of the failure of weapon building, it is estimated that there is no need for others to blame, and I have already regretted vomiting blood.
Quenching is just a general term. In fact, after the weapon is formed, there are four ways to deal with it, namely annealing, normalizing, quenching and tempering.
According to different purposes, choose different processing methods, such as epee, which is naturally based on hardness, while software is mainly soft, and guns are different, requiring a combination of rigidity and softness, which may involve several processing methods. The complexity of it cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
Opening the front is considered to be the simplest step, but it is the most critical step. However, one of the indispensable characteristics of all magical weapons is that they are extremely sharp and can cut iron like mud. It is difficult to open the front with such a sharp weapon. The extent can be imagined.
As for the patterns and inlays, Liu Wei'an can't understand them now.
After learning about these things, Liu Weian was a little dumbfounded. Before he studied the "Casting Handbook", he thought very simply. He studied today, practiced tomorrow, and planned to build weapons the day after tomorrow. According to the above, when he became a casting master, he probably Archery has already been mastered, at that time, why do you still need to be a casting master
The first purpose of learning casting is naturally to make money, but a more important reason is to create arrows for yourself, to create an arrow similar to a magic weapon, which can kill gold-level masters with one arrow . This was the initial thought in his heart.
His complexion fluctuated, he thought for a long time, he still sighed, take your time, take one step at a time, it is difficult to improve archery at present, although casting is also difficult, at least there is a way, it is better than being confused with archery.
If there is the most ore, it is undoubtedly the blacksmith's shop. However, the blacksmith's shop is not an announcement toilet. Come here whenever you want. If you want to visit, you can. One copper plate is six copper plates in ten minutes, and an hour is six copper plates. This price is definitely not within the reach of ordinary people. affordable.
Liu Wei'an paid 60 copper plates and stayed in the blacksmith's shop for 10 hours, tungsten iron, black iron, white iron, Ziyang iron, ant iron, ghost eye iron, three-color iron...
There are dozens of iron ores alone. The dozens of types mentioned here are found in blacksmith shops. There are about 280 kinds of real iron ores. Stone City is located in a remote place, and it is very rare to be able to collect dozens of them. , the three-color iron is only the size of a fingernail, but the price is twice as high as the blue ice iron. Liu Wei'an's eyes straightened when he saw it. The ghost-eye iron ore is very strange. There are patterns like ghost eyes on it. Wei An originally thought that this kind of rare iron ore should be very expensive, but he didn't expect it to be worth a lot of money. The ghost eye iron is useless, or it has not yet been found how to use it correctly.
The blacksmith shop collected various ores for about 300 minutes. Liu Weian's memory became very good at some point, and he easily memorized the colors, properties, characteristics, etc. of more than 300 ores. In the evening, he did not leave, but paid 1,000 copper coins and asked the blacksmith to be his teacher to explain the knowledge of ore to him.
The blacksmith has a dark complexion. Although he is greedy for money, he is very trustworthy. As long as he takes money, he is still very serious in his work. He is not eloquent, but he has rich experience. Liu Weian opened a brand new door to the world of ore, which is so rich.
He continued to give money and asked to watch the process of blacksmith forging. This time, the blacksmith was a little hesitant, and Liu Weian was not in a hurry, and kept increasing his bargaining chips. When the price reached 5,000 copper coins, the blacksmith finally nodded.
At about ten o’clock in the morning, the blacksmith finished his work, a dagger, although it was of the whiteboard level, when Liu Wei’an looked at it, his eyes were very hot. This was the first time he watched the whole process of weapon manufacturing at such a close distance. It's important, it's worth the money, the text description in the book is too pale, far less vivid and memorable than a blacksmith with decades of experience in person.
When he walked out of the blacksmith's shop, Liu Weian already had a preliminary understanding of the blacksmithing industry, and he was no longer as dazed and overwhelmed as before. He hadn't slept all night, but he was still full of energy. Also full of energy was the blacksmith who had worked hard all night. Seeing the blacksmith's piercing eyes, Liu Weian realized what extraordinary physical strength and endurance meant.
"It seems to be this person!" Several people were holding a portrait, pointing at Liu Wei'an, with scrutiny and observation in their eyes.
Several people were dressed as soldiers, and they were about 30 meters away from Liu Weian. Although they lowered their voices, Liu Weian's hearing was not weak, and he could hear clearly.
"Hurry up, don't let others get ahead, that's 300,000 copper coins."
Liu Wei'an had just come out of the blacksmith's shop, and he was still thinking about blacksmithing. Although he heard the voice, he hadn't had time to think about it. Suddenly, there was a slight sound of breaking through the air behind him, his expression changed, and he dodged quickly, but it was still too late. One step, severe pain spread from the back all over the body, a sharp arrow hit the back, the distance to the back of the heart was only less than two centimeters, several soldiers obviously also saw this scene, their expressions changed, they suddenly increased their speed, and the sword came out sheath.
For a time, murderous aura filled the streets.
