Chapter 458 Dragon Sparrow Swords

The space in the dock is not small, but it is still stuffed by Big Jones.

Cao Wei saw two or three forging hammers, not to mention all kinds of crucibles, furnaces, clamps, lathes and metal miscellaneous parts.

These things cannot be said to be messy, but they are definitely not neat. Especially these tools have various wear and marks, and even a thick layer of carbon ash is piled on the floor. Big Jones said that the environment here is not good, so it is not a joke at all.

However, such an environment is quite in line with Cao Wei's perception, because if a blacksmith works in a place where he works is spotless and has no trace of smoke and fire, then he would doubt whether this guy is famous.

The situation was just right now, and after wandering around, Cao Wei pointed to these professional equipment and asked Big Jones.

"Do you usually use these things to create your work?"

"What else? Do you want me to knock with your hands? Brother Cao, this is already the 21st century. I ask you to change your concepts and think more in reality."

"How strong is the human force, how strong is the machine? How accurate is the human judgment, how accurate is the machine's judgment? And the most important thing is, using these machines, I can complete all the processes alone, and at most consume some electricity and consumables. But if it is replaced with manual labor, guess how many people I need to create a fine product? You can pay for these people's salary."

"I understand, it's reasonable."

Cao Wei didn't know anything about this kind of thing. At least he knew that in terms of forging, several people took turns to beat for three days and three nights, but they could not compare to the workmanship of these professional forging hammers for one hour.

To put it bluntly, forging means using external forces to knock on the heated metal ingot to remove impurities. And how much power a person can swing the sledgehammer is, it is counted as 100 kilograms if he is exhausted.

What about the forging hammers? The three forging hammers in front of Cao Wei alone identify three values: 75KG, 150KG, and 250KG.

It’s not that it can’t be bigger, but there’s no need to make it bigger. If you really get bigger, you can have a forged hammer weighing several tons. But forging swords cannot use that kind of big guy, and this kind of small forged hammer is enough.

Moreover, compared with human power, forging hammers are not only good at strength. Speed, accuracy and sustainability, human power cannot be compared with machinery.

Several experienced old blacksmiths use manpower to beat them, even if they can maintain constant power, they will lose their strength after two hours of dying. As for the machine, as long as the power is not cut off, it will not be a problem to operate the whole day for twenty-four hours.

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that industrial civilization is an important turning point in human civilization. It is completely understandable that Big Jones uses these industrial equipment in forging operations.

Cao Wei did not have such a quirk and required that he had to build weapons for himself by hand. His pragmatic personality would not care about such irrelevant details at all, he would only care about the result.

"Where are the things I ordered?"

"Here. Sorry, I just installed the gear two days ago and haven't had time to clean it up carefully. But even so, they are already exquisite enough."

Big Jones said, then he brought a very long knife from the workbench on one side, which was relatively shorter.

The two swords are matched, both with red and red sheaths and hilts. The blade head is a dragon bird with nodded and hanging its chest. It has a delicate shape and elegant temperament, and it has a master's feeling of being withered.

The handle of the knife is oval, and is wrapped with a tight ring of red rope. The knife is an arc-shaped shape with two wings interlaced. The difference is that the long knife has two wings raised high, while the short knife has two wings hanging low. Both are portrayed subtle, and the texture of almost every feather is withered and slim.

The main color of the red body is paired with this elegant bronze decoration. From the appearance alone, this set of two-cut long and short can be called a work of art and won the favor of enthusiasts.

But Cao Wei did not pay too much attention to this, because he knew that these two knives were good or bad, and the blade inside was the real article.

A long sword that was halfway up to the height of an ordinary person was drawn, and for a moment it was clear and cold. The shiny blade immediately showed a dazzling brilliance under the sunlight.

Cao Wei gently stroked the blade and felt cold when he started. With another wave, the sound of cracking silk in the air passed by, not only the hand felt very positive, but the blade was extremely stable. The strange-long blade almost formed a perfect balance with the force between the arms and wrists.

More importantly, Cao Wei could feel the amazing chill that spread in that moment after the blade passed through the air.

This chill is not a psychological perception, and Cao Wei would not have been so stressed by a knife. It was a real reduction in temperature. Judging from his sensitive judgment, just after this knife, the temperature of the place where the knife just now cut was at least three degrees lower.

This is not in line with ordinary common sense. Cao Wei simply turned around and looked at the forgeator of the knife. He didn't believe that the metal smelted bit by bit according to the formula he gave. He would not know what the characteristics of this metal was.

Sure enough, Big Jones's face became excited unconsciously.

"Did you feel it right? I know that a master like you can definitely feel it. My Master Guan Er, is it so amazing, right? I have never seen that kind of alloy that can have such amazing data like what you provide."

"Hardness, toughness, and its comprehensive performance are not inferior to those special alloys used in industrial use. It is definitely a powerful weapon to make weapons. It may be difficult to cut off steel with one knife, but if it is softer copper or brittle iron, it can completely achieve the legendary level of iron cutting like mud."

"And this is not the most critical. The most critical thing is that this alloy can actually show two completely different characteristics under different levels of quenching."

"The alloy in your hand is a result of rapid cooling and quenching in ice water. The surface naturally shrinks and bursts into fine lines due to rapid cooling of high temperatures, but it has no effect on the stable structure of the blade itself. I'm not sure if it is because of these ice cracks that this knife has an amazing heat conduction effect."

"I did an experiment and put it in boiling water that was just boiled. In just a few seconds, it can reduce the temperature of the boiling water to a slightly lower temperature level. And being in the ice cube, it can aggravate the melting rate of the ice at an astonishing speed."

"At present, I have no way to explain this situation more specifically. I am going to send a sample to my supervisor in order to get a more professional evaluation report from him. Of course, this is after you get your approval. This is the rule, I understand."

As a knife maker, Big Jones is more concerned about this special nature, which is understandable. However, as a user, Cao Wei cares more about its role in actual combat.

And is this metal property useful in actual combat? There are some answers, and they are very large.

Because if this knife could really achieve the point where heat was transmitted in a short time, then you can imagine what the result would be if his sword fell on the enemy.

It is not reliable to say that it is easy to drain the enemy's body temperature in an instant. After all, human beings are also a heat source. But as long as it can play a role in local temperature loss, after a few slaps, the enemy's movements and consciousness will inevitably be negatively affected.

It was a matter of life and death in a moment. If something went wrong, it would be impossible to say whether this life could be preserved.

It was hard for Cao Wei to say he was dissatisfied with this result. But he did not immediately praise him, but instead asked this question casually.

"I'll talk about this later. You just mentioned two completely different situations, what is the other situation?"

"A very amazing conductivity. The result of natural cooling is that this metal exhibits excellent conductivity. But how to say, I don't think this metal property should be used for forging swords, although it doesn't have much effect. But I still think that such excellent conductivity, both thermal and electrical conductivity, is even better than precious metals like silver, and is used in higher-precision processing industries."

“Conductivity?”

Cao Wei looked at the short knife that was only three feet and six inches, and couldn't help but give a questioning look at Big Jones.

"Of course, this metal is not cheap. Although it is not suitable, its texture is excellent enough. So I still use it to create the second knife you want."

"By the way, I forgot to explain it. Generally speaking, knife maker has the power to name his own forging weapons. I named it Longque from the previous long sword. And this short sword, I called it Chihuang. This is a double sword of a male and a female, a female and a male. It is also the most outstanding weapon I have ever made in my life. If you have no objection, I hope to keep this name. For this, I am even willing to pay a naming fee."

Big Jones couldn't help but make a pleading look. For a knife maker, forging is never a 100% job. No one can guarantee what the next forging will be.

The high level of knife maker can only determine that their lowest limit and upper limit are higher than that of ordinary people, but it does not mean that every work they have will be a fine product, and each one can satisfy them extremely.

This is a very lucky thing. Big Jones is completely unsure that he can create a weapon that is better than the Dragon Bird Red Phoenix Double Sword.

This is almost the ultimate of his skills, so of course he hopes to leave a little more mark on it.

The name is very important, at least for him, it is true. It means a bit adult beauty, and Cao Wei doesn't care about these irrelevant trivial matters. So he nodded immediately.

"Of course, this is your power. You are qualified to do so."
