At this time, a ray of Feng Qi's consciousness was teaching Zuo Tianxuan the basic knowledge of the weapon clan's forging through Xiaoyou.
Telling the history of the development of the Qi clan was his first lesson.
Next is the basic blacksmithing content of the weapon clan.
He obtained this knowledge through Demon Sword's memory, but Demon Sword's understanding of the Qi clan was limited to those ancestral records that recorded the development history of the Qi clan, as well as those ancient remnants of blacksmithing science.
While cultivating Zuo Tianxuan, he also needs to organize the existing information on the weapon clan and prepare lessons in advance.
During this time, he divided the scattered knowledge inherited by the weapon clan into four chapters: basic chapter, growth chapter, advanced chapter, and complete chapter.
Taking the beginning of the development of the Qi clan as a starting point, the content is classified from simple to difficult, trying to use this method to let Zuo Tianxuan understand the inheritance of the Qi clan from the most basic, and gradually climb to the pinnacle of the Qi clan.
At this moment, Feng Qi looked at Zuo Tianxuan through the connection with Xiaoyou.
At this time, Zuo Tianxuan was doing physical training outdoors.
If you want to become a powerful blacksmith, it is very necessary to improve your physical fitness.
The forging of top-level weapons is a long process. It is impossible to complete the creation of a top-level weapon in just a few days. It is impossible to stop during this period. If you stop, all your previous efforts may be wasted.
Therefore, having a strong body is the first step to becoming a top blacksmith.
In terms of training resources, Xiaoyou has contacted the resource management department to ensure that Zuo Tianxuan has sufficient training resources to consume.
Secondly, you have to rely on Zuo Tianxuan’s own efforts.
It was freezing cold outside, and Zuo Tianxuan was running at high speed with his upper body naked. It could be seen that Zuo Tianxuan was almost exhausted at this time, but he was still persisting.
Xiaoyou was wearing a thick down jacket, sitting on the plaque of the forging building, dangling her calves, and holding a huge snack bag in her hand. From time to time she took a handful from it and stuffed it into her mouth, looking at the people who were training hard.
Zuo Tianxuan, with a pleasant expression.
After a long time, Zuo Tianxuan finished his preliminary physical training and returned to the forging room to start sitting cross-legged and meditating.
While the blood refining technique was running, strands of qi and blood emerged from the blood-colored crystals placed in front of him and penetrated into his body. Following the operation of the technique, it flowed to his limbs and bones, constantly improving his physical quality.
This process lasted all morning.
After lunch, in the afternoon, Xiaoyou started giving lectures.
The content of the basic chapter is mainly to allow Zuo Tianxuan to have a deeper understanding of several forging techniques in blacksmithing.
Although Xiaoyou, who relayed Feng Qi's words, looked serious during the lecture, Feng Qi could clearly sense that Xiaoyou himself was not listening at all.
What he relayed to Xiaoyou would only stay in Xiaoyou's mind for a short time, and then flow out completely.
In terms of learning attitude, Xiaoyou behaved as usual, acting as a medium for transmitting information but not storing any information itself.
Feng Qi has long been accustomed to this and doesn't even bother to criticize Xiao You.
Zuo Tianxuan is different.
Knowing that he had been selected by Feng Qi to train the new system of blacksmithing, his attitude was extremely serious and he often took notes during the study. After class, he would often study on his own again and again, and then ask questions he didn't understand the next day.
Feng Qi was very satisfied with his attitude towards learning.
Talent is undoubtedly the most important key, but learning attitude is also very important.
In the next six months, Zuo Tianxuan did not practice forging anymore.
Cultivation and learning have become the norm in Zuo Tianxuan's life.
During this period, Feng Qi taught Zuo Tianxuan all the basics of blacksmithing, and often gave Zuo Tianxuan mock exams to test.
Feng Qi divides the basic forging science of the Qi clan into five major categories.
They are respectively the development history of the Forging Science of the Weapon Clan, the identification of the quality and properties of spiritual minerals, the original techniques of the Forging Science of the Weapon Clan, the forging spectrum of the Weapon Clan, and the inscription technology of the Weapon Clan.
Feng Qi always believes that only by mastering the basics can we explore a more profound future.
After several basic theoretical tests, it was confirmed that Zuo Tianxuan had mastered the content of the basic chapter, and he finally began to let Zuo Tianxuan conduct forging practical tests.
On this day, Zuo Tianxuan came to the forging room while it was still dark.
Finding Xiaoyou huddled in the corner of the forging room eating snacks, Zuo Tianxuan immediately greeted him respectfully:
"Teacher Xiaoyou, I'm here."
"Yeah, the boss said you can start at any time, it's up to you."
With that said, Xiaoyou clenched his fists and made a cheering gesture, and then continued to eat snacks.
Zuo Tianxuan nodded solemnly, then came to the forging furnace and pressed the start switch.
Suddenly energy was injected, and the high-temperature flame suddenly rose.
The new forging furnace has been upgraded both in terms of operational convenience and numerical detection accuracy. Zuo Tianxuan then turned around and went to the material room in the blacksmith's compartment and took out three pieces of spiritual iron.
They are Pyrotechnic Stone, Black Sui Stone and Fengqing Stone.
This time Zuo Tianxuan tried to combine three kinds of spiritual minerals to forge a battle axe.
When he came to the forging furnace, he looked at the temperature detection screen, then stretched his hand to the forging furnace and began to sense the temperature changes in the forging furnace.
Teacher Xiaoyou conveyed Feng Qi’s ideas and explicitly asked him to gradually reduce his reliance on technological instruments.
Although technology brings convenience, it stands to reason that you can choose a simple mode, and there is no need to deliberately increase the difficulty of your forging.
But the Forging Technique of the Qi Clan is not compatible with technology.
If he is used to the convenience brought by technology, he will have difficulty mastering the more difficult weapon forging skills in the future.
There is a method to sense the temperature of the forging furnace in the basic teaching.
He must learn to sense the precise value of temperature without the help of detection devices.
Putting his hand in front of the forging furnace, his palms were sweating. He stared at the rising temperature detection device, trying to identify the temperature by comparing the temperature changes on his palms with the changes in the temperature detection device.
When the temperature reached the standard value, Zuo Tianxuan was the first to put the pyrotechnic stone with a lower melting point into the forging furnace.
The raging flames wrapped the pyrotechnic stone and gradually melted it into liquid metal. The original orange pyrotechnic stone melted and turned into gold.
At this time, Zuo Tianxuan controlled the panel, increased the temperature, and then put the black stone placed on the forging board into it.
After the three pieces of spiritual ore were melted at different temperatures in sequence, the three metal liquids gradually melted together in the forging furnace. During this process, Zuo Tianxuan released the spiritual energy in his body and began to control the fusion of the three spiritual ore liquids.
The different properties of the spiritual ores mean that the fusion process is not as smooth as imagined.
During this period, there were explosions and liquid splashing from time to time in the forging furnace.
Smelting is a technical activity, just like assembling a machine from different parts. The engagement between the gears must be precise, otherwise the fusion process will encounter great resistance. If the fusion is forcibly promoted, the liquid will instantly turn into a bomb and explode.
During the smelting process, there were constantly incompatible ingredients that were extracted by Zuo Tian using spiritual energy and then thrown into the waste barrel at his feet.
Gradually, the three colors of metallic liquid merged with each other under Zuo Tianxuan's control, turning into a white metallic liquid.
This process only took half an hour, but Zuo Tianxuan was already sweating profusely and felt mentally exhausted.
Zuo Tianxuan's unskilled smelting skills kept him in a state of high mental stress during the smelting process, worrying that he might accidentally cause the fusion to explode.
When the white liquid appeared, Zuo Tianxuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Next, he stretched out his hand and activated his technique to suck the white liquid out of the forging furnace and pour it into the rectangular shaping mold.
After waiting for natural cooling, Zuo Tian used metal iron pliers to clamp out a long white metal strip. The space bracelet on his wrist glowed with light as he waved his hand. Then he made a false grip with his right hand, and an illusory energy sledgehammer appeared in his hand.
His eyes were gradually covered with a layer of crimson.
This is a magical eye specially used for refining weapons by the Weapon Clan. It is much stronger than the Forging God Eye originally used by Zuo Tianxuan.
A simple metaphor is like the difference between a magnifying glass and a microscope.
This is also a major factor that has hindered the development of modern casting science. The Forging God's Eye cannot distinguish the structure of those high-level spiritual minerals with relatively complex structures. In many cases, practice makes perfect and identification is based on feeling.
But after learning the Weapon-casting Eye of the Tool Clan, the internal structure of the spiritual metal is clearly visible to my eyes.
After looking around for a long time to determine where to start to change the internal structure of the metal, Zuo Tianxuan began to take action.
The energy forging hammer was raised and then dropped heavily. The arrangement of spiritual points inside the spiritual metal in front of the forged soldier changed.
In this process, Zuo Tianxuan used hammer after hammer to assemble the structural light spots inside the spiritual metal in the arrangement he expected.
This time he forged a short-handled battle axe, and he chose three arrangements for the main internal structure of the weapon.
They are a solid structure used to improve the weapon's resistance to damage, a sharp structure used to improve the sharpness of the battle axe, and a hybrid structure with attribute elements attached to chopping.
The most difficult of these is the element-mixing structure.
This structure has different combinations of different spiritual minerals, and the purpose is to extract the attributes attached to the spiritual mineral itself through structural changes.
For example, using a short-handled battle ax to chop in battle can add the properties of the spirit mine itself to cause certain property erosion damage to the target.
The short-handled battle ax forged this time uses three kinds of spiritual minerals. It is necessary to build three structures for extracting elements, and then combine them into a mixed element structure.
The ultimate goal of forging is to maximize the function of the spiritual mine.
Combining and arranging the internal structure of the spiritual mine is the most critical level for the blacksmith to make weapons.
This point can be referred to the arrangement and combination of carbon elements in nature. Different arrangements can be diamond or graphite... Different arrangements and combinations have very different physical properties.
This is different from the most primitive forging process of mankind, which takes shaping as the main goal. The blacksmith pays more attention to the structural changes at the micro level.
Shaping the weapon is actually the easiest step.
An excellent blacksmith must master a large amount of professional knowledge and then skillfully apply the knowledge into practice.
Zuo Tianxuan's process of beating spiritual metal lasted until eight o'clock in the evening.
Sweat had soaked his pants, and he was already hungry, but he didn't stop beating and continued to work hard.
This process is a difficult test for Zuo Tianxuan's physical strength. One of the requirements for Feng Qi's exam is that Zuo Tianxuan must forge a weapon at once without stopping, and there must be no rest time that affects the forging steps during the process.
.
Through repeated hammering, two structures have been arranged and combined in the spiritual metal.
Zuo Tianxuan is currently working on the third step, which is the most difficult arrangement of mixed element structures.
Every time the hammer hits the surface of the spiritual metal, the spiritual energy in Zuo Tianxuan's body will follow the forging hammer and smash into the interior of the spiritual metal, changing the arrangement of the internal structure little by little.
This process seems violent, but the progress is very slow.
Zuo Tianxuan's right arm, which had entered a state of selflessness, was obviously a little weak, and his muscles were trembling slightly uncontrollably.
His physical strength has reached its peak. If he has any thoughts of giving up at this time, he may collapse uncontrollably.
The time came to 11:28 pm, when the combination of mixed elements was generated, the three combined structures inside the spiritual metal were like gears that meshed together, closely connected.
Zuo Tianxuan, who was physically and mentally exhausted, did not stop and immediately put the spiritual metal back into the forging furnace for high-temperature heating.
At this time, the internal structure of the spiritual metal is not yet stable, and the structure needs to be stabilized through high temperatures.
An hour later, Zuo Tianxuan began to beat the spiritual metal taken out of the forging furnace again, but this time it seemed very easy, because the structure had already been formed, and then only the weapon needed to be shaped.
The time comes to 1 o'clock.
Zuo Tian picked out a finger-long carving knife, and began to carve it carefully without fear of the red-hot weapon.
This is the unique forging technique of the Weapon Clan, which is used to engrave weapons and can also be called enchanting.
It only took half an hour for Zuo Tianxuan to carve out a complex pattern. This pattern is similar to human formation science, and practical functions are created through the connection between nodes.
There are also three inlay holes left on the surface of the complex pattern, where energy gems can be inserted to further enhance the lethality of the short-armed battle ax.
After completing the engraving step, Zuo Tianxuan put the short-handled battle ax back into the forging furnace for heating and quenching.
When the red short-handled battle ax was taken out of the coolant and placed on the forging board, Zuo Tianxuan, who was always nervous, could no longer hold on and his body suddenly fell to the ground, losing all movement.
Seeing this scene, Xiaoyou, who was nibbling snacks in the corner, pricked up his ears and looked up at Zuo Tianxuan.
"Eh!"
"Boss, boss, is he okay?"
"It's okay, it's just excessive physical exertion. Send him to the recuperation warehouse."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyou decisively put the snacks in her hand into the space bracelet, then flew to the unconscious Zuo Tianxuan, wrapped it with energy threads and sent it to the recuperation chamber. After pressing the switch, the recuperation fluid began to be injected into the recuperation chamber.
Next, Xiaoyou followed Feng Qi's instructions and came to the forging board and picked up the short-handled battle ax.
Feng Qi in the belief space began to rate the weapons forged by Zuo Tianxuan through Xiaoyou's perspective.
The surface of the red battle ax glows softly in three colors under the light. There are complex inscriptions on both sides of the axe's surface that look like blooming flowers. After Xiaoyou tries to slash at will, he can see the glimmer of the three-color elements flickering by.
.
Under normal circumstances, to judge the strength of a weapon, accurate values need to be obtained through practical tests.
But having the memory of the magic sword, he only let Xiaoyou try to slash it a few times before he knew the answer in his mind.
Feng Qi was very satisfied with Zuo Tianxuan's results in this exam.
The progress was faster than he imagined.
Now that the preliminary forging has been mastered, he decided to teach Zuo Tianxuan the growth content of forging.
When the time comes, he will let Zuo Tianxuan go to the front line alone and hone his forging proficiency by tailoring weapons and equipment for the frontline soldiers.
As for how Zuo Tianxuan can receive forging orders from frontline warriors, he won't help and relies entirely on his own skills and abilities.
