Unless the craftsman An Gang of An Gang Sword Forging Factory has made many sharp weapons for nobles, he would not be qualified to use this ore to train swords.
Even if the sword-making institute has obtained a certain quota of ‘killing stones’,
But most of the time,
It is also given priority to Master An Gang and several craftsmen from the sword-making factory who have fully mastered the "Taishan Hundred Demons and Cannibals Banquet".
After ensuring their supply, the remaining ‘killing stones’ and their scraps will be handed over to ordinary craftsmen and ink-making apprentices for use.
Swords made from the ores of the sword forge,
It is owned by the sword maker and can be sold at will.
Su Wu and Damu sat together and stayed for a while by a smelting furnace.
The coal fire in the furnace has been extinguished for a long time,
But there is still some residual warmth in the moment,
When everyone gathers together and stays by the stove, they can also get a little warmth.
The young apprentices gathered in this room one after another,
Not long after,
The ‘Master Kira’ who ‘inked’ Su Wu yesterday also strode into the house.
All the young people saluted 'Jiliang' and greeted loudly: "Master Craftsman, good morning!"
"good!"
Craftsman Kira nodded with satisfaction.
It seems that only in this way can the passion of a group of young people be demonstrated.
He looked across the crowd and easily found 'Abu' who was standing at the back. The smile on Master Kira's face suddenly grew stronger: "I was worried last night about what danger you might encounter on the way.
I can see you today,
I was relieved too!
Abu, how do you feel today after enduring one-twentieth of the ink drawing?
Do you feel tired or tired?"
Su Wu nodded.
His body indeed fed back this feeling to his consciousness.
But this feeling is very slight,
Coupled with the strength of his consciousness, he can ignore it.
"These are all normal phenomena." Ji Liang continued, "During this period, you need to eat more food - the ink drawing will consume your own strength, and eating more food can replenish your strength!
Your father, Brother Axiong, is a very capable man.
He must know this and won’t starve you!”
"Yes." Su Wu responded.
"After I engraved the ink pattern on you yesterday, it was almost dark, and I didn't have time to elaborate on some things that needed your attention.
I just take this opportunity to tell you,
You remember it!"
Ji Liang paused, and seeing Su Wu's serious expression, he nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "The tattoo will be carved into the ink. Depending on the physical recovery of the 'ink recipient', most tattoos will be carried out within three to seven days.
The area of each engraving is not a fixed one-twentieth.
Sometimes if the body recovers well,
The engraving area will be increased accordingly.
After each engraving, remember not to go out at night for the next seven days.
Don't use up your physical strength too much - if you use up your physical strength too much, the evil patterns on your body will most likely invade your mind!
Besides,
Everything else is trivial."
"After I first engraved the ink pattern, if I go out at night, will I be more likely to encounter strange things?" Su Wu asked Master Ji Liang.
Ji Liang grinned: "Isn't it easier to meet Li Wei?
But you are bound to encounter something serious!
The 'ink' used in the ink painting is made from the ashes of the shrine's offerings to the gods, the mud shells shed by the gods, and the blood of crows. This kind of thing is naturally very attractive!"
The ashes of offerings, the husks of gods' clay bodies, and the blood of crows,
The ink pigments formed after mixing are engraved into the skin and flesh of the human body, but they will emit a strange charm.
And when they stay well in the gourd,
Su Wu didn't notice any strangeness in them!
Originally, he guessed that human flesh and blood had some kind of 'chemical reaction' with this pigment. Now that he heard what Master Kira said, Su Wu couldn't help but doubt that the so-called ashes of offerings to the gods and the mud shells from the gods' clay bodies were...
Maybe it has something to do with weirdness.
As for the crow, it is an animal,
It may have some kind of talent related to the weirdness - this is only common in folklore, and Su Wu has not really verified it, but it is not a weirdo in itself.
In this way, it is naturally impossible for crow blood to produce a strange rhyme.
"Come here a few people and light up the fire!"
Craftsman Kira greeted the teenagers, and then someone went to the warehouse next door, brought a lot of charcoal, and filled it into the calcining furnace designated by Kira.
Someone lit a fire under the stove.
While the charcoal fire was burning, Kira went to the warehouse next door and brought in a lot of iron ore.
They are all the most common iron ore.
Rao is so,
These ores are also very precious at Anzuna Sword Forging Factory, and it requires a craftsman like Kira to extract and use them. Ordinary sword-making apprentices are not qualified to extract them at all.
“From selecting iron ore, smelting it into ‘鉧’, and then crushing the ‘鉧’ to obtain ‘jade steel’ and ‘sauer iron’,
Then the forged ding iron is called "skin iron", and the jade steel is forged into "heart iron".
Wrap the core iron with skin iron and 'extend it' to form a knife embryo.
You have all learned these processes." Craftsman Kira put all the iron ore into the calcining furnace. While putting the ore in, he said to the young people, "From today on, we still cannot forge 60% good products.
Knife's apprentice,
You can choose to follow me and learn all the sword-making steps such as 'fire making', 'soil blade', 'soil covering and burning blade', 'bending', 'grinding' and so on.
You can also continue to practice Soyeon’s skills,
Until you can train the knife blank and the yield rate can reach 60%, you can become an inking apprentice!
Those who choose to follow me to learn all the steps for making swords cannot learn the 'forging of the heart' and 'the forging of ghosts and gods' because they have not entered the ink!
If you want to stay here and continue to train the sword apprentices, you still have thirty days.
After thirty days, if the yield rate of 60% is still not reached,
We must leave Anzang Sword Forging Factory!"
Master Kira finished his words and left some time for the youngsters to digest.
After a while,
He raised his eyes, and the blazing fire had swallowed up all the ores.
The strong smell of charcoal fire and gunpowder smoke filled the place.
Looking at the many nervous and hesitant young people, he smiled and said: "Don't be too nervous, it's just because there is an 'Ab', so you are worried that you will not be able to catch up with others.
In fact, some people's qualifications and talents are destined.
Forging knives in particular requires a moment of 'inspiration' in harmony with heaven and earth, so it may not be a bad thing to recognize your own talent, see yourself clearly, and make an early decision."
‘Inspiration to harmonize with heaven and earth’?
‘Heavenly Sensation’?
Are what Master Kira said deliberately exaggerated, or is it true?
At the moment, Su Wu couldn't tell whether his words were true or false, so he could only listen to them for the time being and see the effects later.
"Have you made your decision?" Kira's voice deepened.
Soon a young man raised his hand: "Master Craftsman!
I choose to continue to train Su Yan’s skills, and I must train more than 60% of the quality blades!”
"Me too!"
"Master Craftsman, my parents are in poor health. I want to learn a skill as soon as possible. When I return to the village, I will be satisfied even if I can help people make farm tools or repair iron tools."
"I……"
As the first person spoke,
The remaining people spoke out enthusiastically.
Su Wu secretly collected their intentions and found that 80% of them were unwilling to give up and wanted to continue to practice Su Yan's skills in order to achieve a 60% yield rate and obtain the qualification to become an apprentice in ink painting.
The rest of the people wanted to follow Kira and learn the entire sword-making process.
Even if you can't learn the 'Ghost and God Training Technique' and 'Heart Training'.
Damu naturally chose to continue practicing 'Suyan'.
He and Abu were sent here as servants or retainers of the Inoue family in order to become true ink masters and strengthen the Inoue family's strength. All resources consumed during this period would naturally be borne by the Inoue family.
The so-called "Suyan" is to wrap the tempered heart iron and skin iron together and forge them into the prototype of the sword.
The previous steps of picking ore, smelting, etc.,
All are attributed to the step of "Su Yan" in making swords.
Yes,
This step of assessment in the sword-making institute is equivalent to assessing all the basic skills of the apprentice.
"good.
Those who want to continue to practice Suyan's skills should stay here. There will be new craftsmen to supervise you!
Anyone who wants to learn all the subsequent steps of making a sword can go to another room with me later!" Seeing that everyone had made a decision, Kira didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement on the spot.
After the calcining furnace has burned all the iron ore,
He shoveled out the molten iron ore into a big lump.
Now this lump of iron ore is called ‘鉧铁’.
Kira smashed the cigarette with a big hammer, and then used a small hammer to break out more pieces.
Then let everyone pick the cooled pieces.
Although Su Wu entered the simulated world as 'Abu', he had no idea of all the training skills in the past. Seeing everyone picking and choosing, he squatted next to Da Mu and observed the actions of the people around him.
Covered by the energy of mind,
No one's movements can escape his perception.
Their eyes and micro-expressions were all recorded by Su Wu.
Then continue to analyze and judge in your heart,
Finally, we came to a conclusion: these 'smoke' ores with neatly cut sections and an iron-black luster are mostly high-grade 'jade steel', while the softer iron blocks are 'paoding iron'.
In just over ten breaths,
Su Wu has obtained the knowledge he wants.
He also started picking,
Move quickly,
Two piles of ore were picked out.
Craftsman Kira was observing the actions of the teenagers. After seeing Su Wu select two piles of ores so quickly, he walked over and picked up the ores Su Wu selected and looked at them. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Even if you become an apprentice of ink painting,
, Su Yan’s various basic skills cannot be neglected!
Abu, you did a great job!
The selected iron stones are all top grade!
Do better than you did last time!”
"Thank you for the compliment." Su Wu nodded in response.
However, his response made Kira frown, but fortunately the other party didn't say much.
Su Wu didn't know why the other party didn't like his response.
Just when I was puzzled,
I heard Kira praising another apprentice, and the apprentice bent over and replied cautiously: "I will continue to work hard, Master Craftsman!"
Su Wu suddenly knew the ‘standard answer’.
From this, he couldn't help but think: If the father of the original owner who he replaced was not quite prestigious and feared, Kira would probably have reprimanded him mercilessly or even beaten him at that moment.
Just because of ‘Father’,
All your unsociable behaviors will prevent others from being so annoying.
You can even forgive easily.
"You stay here and continue training.
Abu!
For those of you who are ready to learn all the sword-making processes, take the ore you selected and go to another room with me!" After everyone had finished sorting the iron blocks, Kira issued new instructions.
