Kong Ming lifted an oil bucket on the ground and poured a bucket of kerosene into the stove. Then he flicked his finger, and as a trace of fire elemental power splashed out, the kerosene suddenly burned vigorously, causing the temperature in the cave to rise. Quite a few.
The essence of forging is to control the fire element to decompose, temper, fuse, and shape the materials in the fire pool. However, in order to achieve better results, it is best to have an open flame outside the fire pool to help.
The best auxiliary fire is of course the fire from the center of the earth, but not everyone has the ability to use the fire from the center of the earth for their own use. For those entry-level forgers, it is easiest to use fire oil.
Under the light of the fire, Kong Ming looked at the materials piled next to the fire pool.
Ten fist-sized pieces of fine steel, produced in Ironwood in Shazhou in the West, a batch of arrow bamboos that are over a hundred years old, and a batch of furs from the first-order Warcraft Gale Wolf!
The four materials, except iron wood, which is relatively rare, the rest of the materials are common items in the cultivation world, and their value is not particularly high.
Kong Ming prepared these four materials and naturally used them for forging. But for beginner forgers, when they first try, they usually choose two materials for forging, so that the possibility of success will be greater. Only after accumulating a certain amount of experience and then appropriately adding materials can the normal practice method of forging be achieved.
Kong Ming now uses four kinds of materials at once. Is he a little eager for quick success
But in fact, Kong Ming has his own reasons for doing this!
During the Three Kingdoms period, Kong Ming and Huang Yueying were both experts in making machinery. Whether it was water pumps for agriculture, wooden oxen or horses, Yuan Rong crossbows, etc., they could be said to be extremely ingenious!
Especially Yuan Rong's crossbow, it is definitely the number one killer weapon in the cold weapon era!
Unfortunately, the metallurgical technology in the Three Kingdoms era was not high, and the components required to assemble Yuanrong's crossbow were very precise. Hundreds of sets of components were often made, and only one or two sets could be successfully assembled. Coupled with the impurity of the iron at that time and the strong power of the Yuanrong crossbow's mechanical spring, the damage rate was extremely high after being used for a period of time.
It is precisely due to such technical conditions that the Yuan Rong Crossbow cannot be installed in the Shu army and can only exist as an elite team for assault.
But Tianyuan Continent has a forging method. In the face of the powerful effect of Yuanli, using the forging method to refine the Yuan Rong Crossbow can definitely increase the power of this long-range weapon to the limit!
Since Kong Ming wanted to achieve something in the way of forging, he naturally thought of making the Yuan Rong Crossbow shine again on Tianyuan Continent when he forged it for the first time!
Doing this is very memorable for Kong Ming.
Ironwood is a specialty of Shazhou. This material only grows in the endless desert. The wood contains very little water and its hardness is even better than steel. It is the best wood material for forging. As for fine steel, it is a steel parent purified through more than ten processes. It is an essential metal material used in forging. The fur of the century-old arrow bamboo and the storm wolf are both materials that can withstand the infusion of Yuanli, so they can naturally be used in the way of forging.
The crossbow body is forged from iron wood and fine steel, and the crossbow arrows are forged from century-old arrow bamboo and the fur of the wind wolf. The forged Yuan Rong crossbow is definitely of top quality. Even if it does not reach the level of a Yuan weapon spiritual weapon, among ordinary Yuan soldiers It can be considered extremely powerful!
Obviously, Kong Ming's first forging was a difficult challenge!
With a flick of Kong Ming's robe sleeves, the top cover of the fire pool suddenly popped up, and then Kong Ming threw the four ingredients into the fire pool one by one. After closing the top cover, the fire element power was injected into the fire pool!
The structure of the fire pool is unique. After the fire element energy is injected, it seems to be able to run along the meridians of the human body. It is evenly distributed inside the fire pool, and then forms four groups of energy flames, wrapping the forged materials and slowly refining them. .
Refining four materials at the same time naturally requires twice as much energy as refining two materials. In addition, refining materials cannot be completed in a short time. Generally, the energy in the body of a high-level Yuanshi master cannot support refining four materials at the same time.
But Kong Ming has a body of fire spirit. Even if the Yuan Power in his body is not necessarily richer than that of other high-level Yuan warriors, his efficiency in using Yuan Power is much better. This also makes it possible for him to refine four materials at the same time. .
Moreover, Kong Ming's soul power was so powerful that he could easily use it in various ways, so the four materials gradually changed under the calcining of the fire element's power.
Whether it is ironwood or fine steel, they slowly begin to liquefy, eventually turning into a ball of wood juice and a ball of steel juice. As for the century-old arrow bamboo, under the burning of the Yuanli flame, all the impurities were refined, and the fur of the gale wolf slowly decomposed, forming clusters of arrow feathers.
In fact, the four materials refined by Kong Ming are in a set of two, one is the crossbow body, and the other is the crossbow arrow! In the eyes of ordinary forgers, it is equivalent to refining two Yuan Weapons at the same time!
The first refining of the furnace, challenging such a high level of difficulty, Kong Ming is unprecedented in Tianyuan Continent!
Kong Ming carefully understood the changes in the energy in the fire pool. Although he lacked experience, with his fire spirit body and powerful soul power, he was able to clearly grasp every change in the energy. It can be said that Kong Ming made no mistakes during the refining process!
Unconsciously, half an hour passed. Kong Ming's eyes widened suddenly, and a ray of light shot out from his eyes.
At this time, the four materials in the fire pool have been completely refined by Kong Ming. What needs to be done next is the most critical step of forging: fusion!
If materials with different properties cannot be fused together, it means forging failure!
Kong Ming carefully manipulated the four balls of Yuanli flames to move the refined materials from the forging area of the fire pool to the forming area.
The internal structure of the fire pool is complex, and different areas have different functions. Among them, the design of the forming area is the most exquisite.
The molding area is made of a special material called soft gold, which can freely change shape according to the forger's wishes, thereby forming various molds. As long as the materials are successfully fused, they can be formed through the mold.
Although Yuan Rong's crossbow has a precise structure, Kong Ming's forging method allows him to form a mold with just a thought, so the most difficult step is the fusion!
The crossbow arrows are okay, as long as the mold is perfect and the arrow feathers made from the fur of the storm wolf are rooted in the arrow bamboo, it will be considered successful. The only difficulty is that forging multiple crossbow arrows at the same time requires a lot of distraction, and the requirements for soul power are very high.
But Kong Ming's soul has the experience of traveling through the universe, and his soul power is so strong that he cannot think twice about forging crossbows!
Now, it depends on whether Kong Ming can successfully combine iron wood and fine steel to forge the crossbow body of Yuan Rong Crossbow!
