The original assessment and rating turned into a duel between two great casters. Dui wanted to take away the professional qualification certificate of the first "great caster", so he kept pestering the examiner.
Yi Jun looked at the patterned ironware. In fact, the rating of this thing was beyond the scope of high-level craftsmen, but it was still a little short of the standard of master craftsmen set by Zan Zai.
"Impossible, I have thoroughly studied iron tools. During this period of time in the Handicraft Street, I often saw people forging iron. When I was in Dongyi, I was the first to use black stone to cast weapons, although it was only thanks to Dayi who told me
."
"I don't believe it! As the number one caster in Dongyi, ever since I came into contact with these ores and smelting, I have been working day and night to create and learn, and I rarely have a break for a year.
Repeatedly for decades!”
“If even my patterned iron skills are not enough to be rated as a great craftsman, there will definitely be no great craftsmen in the world!”
Dui was very dissatisfied. He said, I cannot accept your assessment result!
Are you practicing favoritism and trying to show that Guangchengzi’s sword is better than mine?
“No, the ironware made by Master Guangchengzi is also patterned iron. According to my observation, it is at the same level as yours and is higher than that of a senior craftsman, but not up to the level of a master craftsman.”
Yijun said this and frowned, but his anger had subsided a little. This was because he found that Guangchengzi also failed to meet the standard.
However, Guangchengzi was in a good mood. When he saw Dui's eyes, he said disdainfully:
“Young man, you still have a bad mentality. Why, you are happy and excited when you see that my level is the same as yours?”
Dui laughed: "The level is the same? The level is right. This is also your Hongzhou vocabulary. It's good to use, it's good to use! But even on a piece of seemingly flat land, there will be deviations in the measurement of the level. How can you
You know, I’m not a little taller than you!”
Guangchengzi didn't want to argue, but said straightforwardly: "But I haven't made a utensil for a long, long time. I just started working this year, and it has only been three or four months since I regained my senses. Do you know how long it has been since I made a utensil seriously? It has probably been
It’s been hundreds of years.”
"You practice every day and make tools every day. You rarely stop for a few months. You practice so frequently, but you are still almost as good as me, an old man who doesn't practice. You still have the nerve to claim to be the best in the world.
The Forger?"
Guangchengzi smiled slightly and said that you are too young. I have eaten more roast chicken than you have eaten. The total amount can go around the earth.
Dui immediately became furious.
He looked at Yijun and shouted angrily: "You must tell me where exactly it does not meet the standards! I have read all the contents assessed by the master, and I should definitely have passed the assessment!"
Yijun looked at Dui and waited until the latter finished his rant before saying: "You are affecting public order. If you continue to rant, you will be detained according to our Hongzhou laws."
“Do you want to catch sugar cane with the monkeys?”
Yijun pointed to a nearby place, and Dui turned to look over. He saw a group of black-haired Gan giants playing with fire not far away. Feeling Dui watching them, the group of Gan giants immediately raised their torches and
Sugarcane, and then started to howl and squeal.
The eldest son comes to play!
Dui immediately shuddered and his mind became clearer, but he still refused to accept it. Guangchengzi laughed at this time and said to Dui:
“I only know how to roar here, not to talk about ironware. Do you know the metal ratio of perfect copperware?”
Guangchengzi said something and said, I have just started to explore iron tools, but you have already used it many times, but you are still at the same level as me. I can only say that it is not that I am not skilled, but that you have learned.
The ability is too bad.
Dui opened his mouth, patted his chest and said, "Are you looking down on me? Before I made iron tools, the best bronze sword in the world came from my hands! Dui's sword, He's bow, Mouyi's arrow!"
Then, he talked about some common sense and details that should be used in the smelting of ancient bronzes. However, Guangchengzi nodded frequently at first, and then began to shake his head frequently. The more Dui talked, the angrier he became. After he finished speaking, he immediately asked Guangchengzi to
spoke, and Guangchengzi said
Inflammation is inflammation!
"A perfect bronze vessel will not decay for eight hundred years, and will remain as new for thousands of years. Copper and tin are the main components of this bronze vessel. The proportion of copper is 80%, and the proportion of tin is 100%.
Sixteenth to seventeenths, then aluminum and nickel, and then very little iron and sulfur."
"In the process of hammering out the lead elements, the black patterns and various strange lines produced are sulfur and sulfide, which are changed from the chemical reaction with the surface. It is a kind of thing called'
Chromium' metal."
“This treatment method is called passivation treatment.”
Guangchengzi was talking eloquently, and people around him also gathered around:
“You only know that if one quarter is gold and tin is one, it is the harmony of the sword and halberd. But if there are three parts of gold and one tin is the same, it is the harmony of the broadsword.”
“Biary alloys are more interesting than you think. Oh, tin is platinum.”
Dui started to get angry again, like a ruthless anger machine: "Of course I know that one cent of platinum is the best ratio to make a gun, and I don't need you to teach me if it's three cents of gold!"
Just know that Guangchengzi just said something, most of which were words that Dui couldn't understand. Of course he understood the operation, but there seemed to be a lot of tricks in it.
The craftsmen around him started talking to each other, and Guangchengzi laughed.
Compared with me in showing off? You are still too young!
I, his mother-in-law, just used my apprentice’s exact words to show off!
I don’t believe you can understand things that I don’t understand. Look, you really don’t understand!
Haunting is a great success!
Bring on the eternal God of doctrine!
However, Guangchengzi was also secretly glad that he had lived to learn, and his disciple's words really did not deceive me.
If you don't learn, you won't be able to show off and slap in the face so naturally. Looking at the guy opposite who is known as the best in the world, his face is as red as the Santoshen's butt. Guangchengzi feels very comfortable.
How arrogant.
"Ahem, the work of craftsmen in the world is much more complicated than you think. I just master a little bit of iron casting, and I am known as the best caster in the world. But there are more powerful casters than me in the world.
Master, you are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of having your legs broken when you go out? Even if you know Dayi, you won't be able to do it."
“Young man, you’d better study hard and learn how to be humble and low-key.”
Guangchengzi thought about it and continued to act cool, so he preached to Dui again:
"And you know, the iron-making technology you are using now is actually not the same as ours in Hongzhou. You figured it out yourself. This technology is to extract iron from ore blocks, and then carburize and forge the iron blocks.
, called carburizing method.”
"This is too primitive. You can't get high-quality steel. That means you are strong and have rich casting experience, so you can cast such a good weapon. In fact, it is difficult for an average craftsman to use this primitive method.
Good steel.”
Dui was stunned for a moment: "Steel? What is steel?"
Guangchengzi’s heart was suddenly shocked, and he started to yell:
“No, no, you think all iron tools are made of iron!”
“Then you really should study hard and learn what ‘steel’ is!”
