Chapter 243: Is this the legendary sword in the stone?
【Happy National Day】
After the Lord of Tielu City went out, Yang Muyun immediately opened the passage and positioned Xu Hong along the faith passage.
"Ding! Reading mode has been turned on, and the host can read and receive rewards based on the rarity of the ancient books you read."
Xu Hong immediately sat upright, put on white gloves after cleaning his hands, and then carefully turned on the bamboo slips on the table.
Next to it, the owner of the bamboo slips talks about the contents of the book, the allusions behind these words, etc. In addition, there are some related books, historical materials, photos and video materials taken from various museums, all of which are related to Ou Yezi.
.
Xu Hong has also studied pre-Qin characters for a long time, so it is not difficult to read bamboo simplified characters, and the meaning in it is roughly understandable. It is precisely because Xu Hong concluded that this book should be true, even if it was imitated by later generations.
It was also a real imitation.
However, Xu Hong is a drug researcher and has nothing to do with iron smelting and making swords. He can only guarantee that the writing and writing methods of the bamboo slips are true. As for the contents inside, he is confused.
But there was a "ding" in my mind and it directly rewarded 30 days of life.
This cola made Xu Hong bad.
You should know that every time I read ancient books, I got three or five days, and I only received a reward for studying gene samples of a biological system for only one or two days. The system is simply a rooster that is invincible.
Today is a rare chapter. Is there anything amazing about this book?
But Xu Hong dared not ask, and the system would not answer.
Taking off his gloves, Xu Hong thanked the owner of the bamboo slips, then gave him a bottle of his own personal health care products, and then began to inquire about other ancient books.
At the same time, Yang Muyun returned to Tielu City and sat on a chair and quietly digested the knowledge he had just gained.
Swordmaking and forging are completely different concepts.
The forging that the dwarves are good at is to repeatedly beat and mold with hammers and anvils, then polish them. There may be some secret methods in the middle to add special attributes to the weapon.
The sword-casting technique is to make molds, pour metal liquid into them, and then knock off the mold to get the finished product. It is completely formed in one go, and it is not enough to use a lot of tempering.
To put it bluntly, steel utensils are mostly forged, while bronze utensils are mostly forged.
As for which one is better, iron or bronze…
If we talk about material properties alone, steel will definitely beat bronze, but...
Most famous swords in history are cast bronze swords.
Xuanyuan Huangdi's Xuanyuan sword is a bronze sword, Qin Shihuang's Dingqin sword is a bronze sword, Gan Jiang Moye, Feng Huzi, Ou Yezi and others are all sword-casting masters, and their works are all bronze swords.
There is no one who can fight.
The whereabouts of ancient famous swords are unknown, but archaeologists have unearthed a famous sword in the Spring and Autumn Period - the King of Yue Goujian Sword.
After 2500 years of stainless-free and non-corrosion, it can easily cut more than 20 sheets of paper, which is perfect in both artistic and practicality.
At the same time, Yang Muyun sorted out the basic principles of casting from the materials he had just read, and combined with the various rumors, strange people and strange things in the Shaolin Temple Sutra Pavilion, he sorted out many clues.
But this still needs further verification, and Tielu City has ready-made venues and materials.
So Yang Muyun shouted "Come in", and the city lord immediately ran away.
Yang Muyun said: "I just figured out a casting technique and experimented to see how it worked."
The city lord was instantly excited, just to get the rhythm of God's gift.
"Master, what venue do you need? What materials are so good. I'll prepare it now."
Yang Muyun said his request, and the city lord immediately ran out to prepare.
In the city lord's exclusive forging room, more than a dozen dwarves stood humbly by the smelting furnace.
These people are all new forging masters. They were stuck at the peak of the master before and could not make any progress. They did not receive the response of the God of Forging, and their forging level could not be improved for a long time.
It was to help Yang Muyun build parts that made a breakthrough by chance. At this time, everyone looked at Yang Muyun as if they were looking at their reborn parents.
Especially when I heard that Yang Muyun wanted to show a new forging technique, they all tried hard to widen their eyes, for fear of missing a certain detail.
However, Yang Muyun did not touch the hammer, but took out a piece of white paste and kneaded it on the forged anvil, just like...
It's like a little doll playing with mud.
No, the master is a god, a powerful god.
How can the master play with mud? This is absolutely impossible!
What Yang Muyun rubbed his hands was not mud, but oil, the oil dug from the monster.
By repeatedly rubbing and precipitating the blood, meat paste and other impurities, only pure fat is left. Yang Muyun pressed the fat into a four-foot long strip, and then cut it on the strip with a knife.
engraving.
Because of spider silk, Yang Muyun's hands are very stable, just like the most sophisticated machine.
Moreover, the finished model has been drawn in the space of faith, and Yang Muyun carved it completely according to the design drawings.
The dwarf masters next to them all widened their eyes and mouths in confusion.
What's going on?
Didn’t the master say that he wanted to teach us the forging technique? How to perform carving there?
Could it be that the master wants to teach us to cut iron sticks into swords?
But how to obtain the tool for cutting iron rods?
How to obtain tools for making iron-stepping rods?
If you have the tools to peel iron rods, why do you still need to use an iron sword?
Just when the dwarf forging master was distracted, Yang Muyun had already carved it, and a milky white sword was lying quietly on the anvil.
It’s just that Yang Muyun used his mental thoughts to control the levitation of the sword and did not have substantial contact with the anvil.
At this time, Yang Muyun picked up a brush and dipped it in various pigments to outline the surface of the long sword with inexplicable patterns.
The patterns on the sword edge, sword spine, sword thigh and sword hilt are different, some are cloud patterns, some are beast patterns, some are pine patterns, water patterns, and some are invisible patterns.
The dwarves were puzzled.
These patterns are just decoration and have no practical effect. Not only will it not increase the power of the weapon, but it will also damage the integrity of the weapon, causing the weapon to rust, decrease its firmness, and easy damage.
A real forging machine will not do such stupid things, but will constantly fold the steel through hard work, so that the material will show a natural texture, which will not only be beautiful but also increase the sharpness of the weapon.
Thinking of this, several dwarves shook their heads and sighed, and they had no hope for outsiders like Yang Muyun.
At this time, Yang Muyun did something outrageous. He put down his brush, took out a brush and dipped it in a paste and evenly applied it to the long sword.
this……
What is this suffocation operation?
The dwarves wanted to leave, but they still stood there with their teeth.
Because I will applaud later, even if the weapon created by the master is not as good as the fire stick, I have to praise it as the world's number one magic weapon with a thick face.
Just as the dwarves were thinking about the words used to praise, the mud paste quickly solidified. Yang Muyun raised the sword body wrapped in mud and continued to apply mud around it. The thick mud shell continued to rise and thicken, completely wrapping the sword body.
.
A dwarf couldn't help but say, "I heard that there is a legend of a sword in the stone in the human kingdom. No one knows how the sword in the stone appeared. Could it be that the master showed the sword in the stone?"
Sword in stone?
Dwarves have always heard of this, and many minstrels like to tell this story.
But Yang Muyun shook his head, "This is not a sword in the stone, but a sword-making technique! Remember this name!"
