Chapter 328: A mess? Unconventional material selection
Since there is no limit to the types of weapons in this assessment, Cheng Qianmo, after some screening, planned to build a long sword to deal with it first.
The sword is the "king of a hundred weapons" and belongs to the category of short-term weapons.
When using a long sword to attack, very particular skills are required, so the overall weight is not too heavy, so it is very in line with today's requirements.
But with Cheng Qianmo’s character, when doing something, he either doesn’t do it, or he has to do his best when he does something.
So he decided to create a weapon with extreme proportions.
The so-called extreme ratio is to find a perfect balance point between the highest attack and the lightest weight, so that the weapon can reach its most perfect state.
"Adding wind stones can significantly reduce the weight of the weapon."
"Using Fire Geng Gold as the main material can greatly improve the sharpness of the weapon."
"Originally, these two materials cannot be used together, but as long as the proportion is right, miracles can happen!"
Cheng Qianmo determined the production ideas for the final product based on his forging experience in his previous life.
At this moment he took out a huge piece of white paper and began to write.
Since all the details had been sorted out in his mind, he started writing very quickly without any hesitation.
Thanks to his over a hundred agility bonus, afterimages even gradually appeared on his hands.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of the two examiners on the stage.
"Hey, this guy didn't start writing until half the time. It's really strange."
"But let's not talk about it, his drawing speed is a bit exaggerated."
Yi Long didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yet. At this moment, he just lamented that Cheng Qianmo's drawing speed was very fast.
Chen Shixin, who had already lost interest in Cheng Qianmo, frowned slightly.
"Drawing requires precision, not speed."
"I started taking action after half the time. I'm afraid it's a bit rushed."
Chen Shixin is a very serious person, so there is no room for sand in his eyes.
He felt that Cheng Qianmo wrote at such a crazy speed because he ran out of time.
Such an attitude of rushing to work made him a little unhappy.
At this moment, his evaluation of Cheng Qianmo had dropped to rock bottom.
"Another idiot who squanders some talent just because he has some."
Chen Shixin shook his head and then turned his attention to other people.
Cheng Qianmo naturally didn't know what happened on the stage just now.
Now he has focused all his attention on the white paper on the table.
The pen in his hand continued to draw lines of various thicknesses.
Soon, the hilt, blade, blade...
The outline of a delicate long sword appears on the paper.
The shape of this sword doesn't look particularly unique, but the size of each part is just right.
At the same time, Cheng Qianmo also specially marked the usage parameters of the material in each part, so that even a relatively average blacksmith can easily understand it.
Ten minutes later, a neat and neat design drawing was completed.
Cheng Qianmo looked at his hard work and smiled on his face.
“It’s the first time I’ve drawn so seriously, it’s not bad!”
Although this design drawing is very beautiful, Cheng Qianmo spent less than 20 minutes selecting materials.
At this moment, some people who move faster are even nearing the end.
However, Cheng Qianmo did not pay attention to the progress of others, he still moved forward at his own pace.
"A maximum of 400 grams of wind spirit stone can be used, otherwise the toughness of the weapon will be significantly reduced."
"Huogeng gold can be used as the main material. Take out 5kg first and then slowly polish it later."
"You still need to join..."
Cheng Qianmo selected the required materials while thinking.
At first, his movements were a bit slow, but as his ideas became clearer, his speed gradually increased.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon there were only two minutes left before the end of the first level.
At this time, 80% of the candidates have completed this assessment, and the rest have basically given up.
Dong Xuecheng had already "handed in the paper" in advance 10 minutes ago.
He looked around, trying to see how others were scratching their heads.
As expected, many people looked anxious.
Soon he turned his attention to Cheng Qianmo.
After all, Cheng Qianmo was very arrogant just now, so he wanted to see the specific situation here.
If you don’t know this, you will be shocked when you see it.
When Dong Xuecheng saw the materials placed on Cheng Qianmo's desk, he almost laughed out loud.
"How did this person become an intermediate blacksmith?"
"You don't even know that the properties of Fire Geng Metal and Wind Spirit Stone are incompatible?"
"He even took nearly 5kg of Fire Geng Gold as the main material at one time."
"Don't he know how difficult it is to forge fire Geng gold?"
"With this level of skill, you still dare to challenge me?"
"What an ignorant idiot!"
Now not only Dong Xuecheng is paying attention to Cheng Qianmo, but Yi Long on the stage is also observing.
He was not optimistic about Cheng Qianmo, but simply attracted by the things on his table.
"Is this child from a related family?"
"Looking at his young age, I didn't think he looked like an intermediate blacksmith."
"Now I'm totally showing my timidity."
Yi Long's view is exactly the same as Dong Xuecheng's. He doesn't even need to look at Cheng Qianmo's design drawings to basically declare him out.
Because of Cheng Qianmo's principle of selecting materials, a fatal mistake has already occurred.
2 minutes came quickly.
After Yi Long glanced at the entire audience, he shouted loudly: "The first test is over, everyone stops."
"If anyone continues to work, they will be kicked out immediately!"
After he finished speaking, he knocked on the gong beside him, and the exam officially ended.
At this time, Chen Shixin, as the question maker, slowly walked off the podium.
He started looking at the results from the left hand side of the first row.
"The drawings are very sloppy, and the best I can give is a C, which is unqualified!"
"There is a problem with the material ratio. It is impossible to create a weapon that meets the requirements. It is unqualified!"
"The design is quite new, I can barely give it a B rating, it's passable."
"..."
At this moment, all the candidates seemed to have returned to their student days.
They are waiting for the teacher's verdict.
Chen Shixin has always had strict requirements. When he checked to the middle of the first row, only one of the nine people passed.
This clearance rate is simply ridiculously low.
Next, he came to Dong Xuecheng's side.
Chen Shixin, who originally looked down on him, suddenly showed a glint in his eyes.
"This design idea is really good, I can give it a high rating."
“In addition, the material combination is also reasonable and qualified!”
Although Chen Shixin hates Dong Xuecheng, he now has to admit that with the help of his father, Dong Xuecheng's strength is still quite amazing.
Although his design ideas can reach the level of evaluation, it is probably because of Dong Hufei's credit.
But it was also a small stove run by my father, and there was nothing extraordinary about it.
Therefore, Chen Shixin still gave a fair evaluation.
At this moment, everyone showed shocked and envious expressions after hearing that Dong Xuecheng was rated as a subordinate.
Dong Xuecheng can know how everyone reacts now even without looking at other people's faces.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a proud look.
Next, Chen Shixin continued to check, and a large number of candidates were eliminated.
When he came to Qianmo's seat in the second schedule, everyone's eyes turned.
After all, there was only a piece of Fire Geng Gold weighing 5kg on his desk, which was difficult to keep a low profile.
Chen Shixin hadn't looked carefully before, but now he walked to the table and his eyebrows twitched unconsciously.
Does this guy know how to forge?
What kind of nonsense did you choose?
Chen Shixin subconsciously wanted to declare Cheng Qianmo unqualified.
But the next second, when he saw Cheng Qianmo's design, he was stunned.
