"Wulin, come!" A tall and strong young man in his twenties greeted Tang Wulin.
"Brother Long." Tang Wulin asked with a smile, "What task did the teacher assign today?"
Brother Long said with a smile: "It's quite a lot, you can find out by going to your room yourself. Speaking of which, I'm a little jealous of you kid, how old are you! This workload has already caught up with mine." Forging It is hard work, the more you do, the more income you will get.
Tang Wulin laughed and said, "How can I compare with you, the teacher still hasn't allowed me to forge large parts."
Brother Long said: "That's to make your foundation more solid. It's okay, you go quickly, otherwise, you won't be able to play for two hours today."
There are actually three people in Mangtian Studio, Mangtian, Brother Long and Tang Wulin. Brother Long was originally Mangtian's only apprentice, but Tang Wulin became the second one after he came here. He called Mangtian three years ago when he came here for the second time and became a teacher.
Mang Tian is a very strict teacher with high demands. But the teaching is also very serious. Many times Tang Wulin felt that he had learned far more here than in the academy.
Everyone has their own workshop, and Mang Tian takes over some work of forging mecha parts from the outside, and then distributes them. Leave the simple ones to Brother Long and Tang Wulin, and he will do the complicated ones by himself.
There will be one day of study time every week, and Mang Tian will teach them hand in hand, and in the rest of the days, he will complete the tasks assigned by Mang Tian. The more and better you do, the higher your income.
Tang Wulin came to his forging room. Unlike the messy living room outside, his place was very tidy, and he cleaned it up by himself.
As expected, some raw materials had already been placed on the forging table, and there were blueprints beside it.
When he first came here, Mang Tian made him knock on iron blocks for three full months, just to teach him the skills of knocking and strength. I have to knock two hours a day, which is really a hot period of time.
But with continuous practice, Tang Wulin's strength, which was not weak, continued to grow, and the small hammer gradually became bigger. Three months later, he began some simple metal refining work. After a year, start making the simplest parts.
It wasn't until half a year ago that he upgraded from small parts forging to medium parts forging. Mang Tian was even stricter to him than to Brother Long. But Tang Wulin seems to have a special kind of resilience in his character. He has never complained of suffering in the three years he has been here.
Looking carefully at the drawings, he understood what today's job is. The ten joints are the ankle joints of the mecha, which are spherical in shape. If it is casting, it only needs two stampings to complete it, but for forging That being said, the requirements are much higher.
Forging is also divided into many levels. Generally speaking, it is a hundred forgings. The so-called hundred forgings means that every part of a part has to go through hundreds of forgings to complete. There is also a thousand forgings at a higher level.
The more times you forge, the less impurities there will be in the metal. Of course, the metal must be good enough to withstand the pressure brought by thousands of forgings. As for the thousand forging parts, Tang Wulin couldn't do it at present, and there was very little such work.
Skillfully pressing the button on the forging table, the center of the forging center split open, revealing the forging furnace below. Tang Wulin fixed a piece of metal on the slot next to the forging furnace, and then pressed the button to send it into the forging furnace .
He started with two shiny black hammers. The size of these two hammers looked about the same as the hammers when he first came here for testing. A hammer of this size is most suitable for forging small and medium parts.
However, the pair of hammers in his hand was a gift from Mang Tian when he came here for a whole year. The thousand-forging tungsten steel hammer made by Mangtian himself weighs eighty catties each, and it is difficult for ordinary people to lift it. But holding it in Tang Wulin's hands at this moment, it feels like nothing is there.
Under the action of the high temperature of the forge, the metal quickly turned red. Tang Wulin's right hand tungsten steel hammer pressed against the slot, and his left hand tungsten steel hammer pressed from above to clamp the metal out.
The two-handed tungsten steel hammer was quickly swung up, and a series of "clinking" sounds sounded, starting a day of forging.
Forging is a craft, not just a skilled job. Mangtian told Tang Wulin when he first started learning that to become a qualified blacksmith, one must use one's brains, and one must use one's brains in the process of knocking. In the process, the texture and characteristics of the metal itself can be judged through anti-shock and metal changes. Only by mastering these can we truly forge fine products.
Tang Wulin's comprehension in this area is very good. He didn't know that when Mangtian gave him this pair of tungsten steel hammers, it meant that he was already a formal blacksmith.
The monthly income is not too much, he will save a fixed sum of money, set aside part of the remaining money for his younger sister to spend, and give some to Lang Yue to subsidize the family.
He is only a nine-year-old child now, but his three-year forging career has made him much more stable than his peers in both his mind and character.
For two full hours, when the last part was completed under the violent blow of the tungsten steel hammer, Tang Wulin let out a sigh of relief and grabbed the towel next to him to wipe off his sweat. Looking at the ten polished joint parts in front of him, his face showed a look of satisfaction.
Accustomed to forging, he also fell in love with this job. Hitting with a hammer every day is a particularly hearty way of venting, and occasionally he will enter a special state during the tapping process. This state is very wonderful, just like he and the person being hit The metal and the hammer in his hand resonated. And at this time, the parts he made would be particularly excellent, and even Mang Tian with such a cold personality couldn't help but praise him a few words.
"Teacher." When Tang Wulin was about to hand in the work, he found that Mang Tian had arrived at his forging room at some point.
Mangtian first walked to the forging table to look at his work, nodded, and then handed him a stack of banknotes, "This month's salary. It's a good job."
"Thank you teacher." Tang Wulin was overjoyed. He quickly took the banknotes and put them in his arms. His face flushed a little because of excitement, but he couldn't help but waved his fist vigorously.
Mang Tian looked at him with some doubts, "I didn't see you so happy when I got my salary every month before?"
Tang Wulin's breathing was a little short, and he took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, I have saved enough money to buy souls."
Mang Tian was stunned for a moment, slightly moved, and said, "You mean, has your martial spirit reached level ten?"
Tang Wulin nodded, "It should be almost there."
Mangtian showed a rare smile, "Come on."
"Teacher, I'll go back first." Tang Wulin packed the finished parts in a box, and then ran out excitedly.
Looking at his back, the smile on Mangtian's face couldn't help but grow stronger, "Finally, this kid looks like a child. It's a pity, his martial soul is just blue silver grass, no matter what the soul is, I'm afraid All... However, this is also my luck, in terms of forging, this child's talent is enough to inherit my mantle."
