Chapter 157: Cut Iron Like Mud, Stubborn Little King
Although Li Mu didn't know what it meant to live with someone else, he also understood that this was Li Shimin's limit. If he was no longer satisfied, he would be shameless. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and the emperor is the most moody creature in the world.
.You treat him ten thousand times well, and he thinks it is natural because you are his subject. But if something goes wrong, life and death are just a thin line.
Although Li Mu has been working hard to fight for some dignity and freedom for himself, he will not waste his "favorability" casually. He has done enough, and stopping in moderation is the best result. Moreover, the goal he wants to achieve is basically
All have been achieved, which is already very good.
After having a meal with the two emperors, one old and one young, and seeing off the shareholders who were having a great meal, Li Mu also said goodbye and went home. He originally wanted to say a few words to Wang Ou, but he didn't.
After finding it, Wang Ou must have known that Li Shimin was there, deliberately avoided it, and left early.
Li Mu was a little sad, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, there is still tomorrow. If the relationship lasts for a long time, especially if they are always tired of being together day and night, they will lose the flavor.
Li Mu returned home and learned that Dugu Jiu had returned. He went to find him with Li Chongyi. Dugu Jiu's residence was placed next to Li Chongyi's room, and the two became neighbors. Although it was not as luxurious as when Dugu Jiu was at home,
But there was nothing missing. There was also a heated kang, so you didn’t feel cold at all. When the two entered the house, Dugujiu was drawing something on his mask with a pen. He hesitated for a moment when he saw Li Mu and Li Chongyi coming.
, and said hello.
If Li Mu and Li Chongyi had not heard his voice, he would never have spoken. Even when he first came to the house yesterday and Li Mu introduced him to Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien, he had to put on a mask before he could
say.
Li Mu had seen a lot of two-dimensional things in his previous life, so he didn't have much feeling for Dugu Jiu's voice. It was very simple. He took off the mask and thought he was a girl, put on the mask and thought he was a boy. Anyway, he didn't have any special thoughts about Dugu Jiu.
Aren't younger brothers and younger sisters all the same? As for Li Chongyi, he hasn't developed to the stage of feeling yet. And in his eyes, Dugu Jiu is too much like a 'weak' woman and cannot arouse his interest at all. That is, in
In the prison, when the two were fist-fighting, he only looked at Dugu Jiu for a moment.
Li Mu saw him drawing on the mask and smiled: "Why, don't you think this mask looks good?"
Dugujiu shook his head. He was drawing with a pen in his hand, very much like a lady. While writing, he said: "The mask is very good, but I just think it is too abrupt without the pattern, so I thought of drawing something on it. Brother
, what do you think of my painting?"
Li Mu took a look and almost didn't laugh out loud. The things Dugujiu drew looked like they were drawn by a woman. And his behavior itself is very strange. He is a good man, but he is also a man who wields swords and guns.
, what are you painting?
But Dugu Jiu liked it, so he couldn't say anything and nodded vaguely. Dugu Jiu didn't care and continued to draw it seriously. This mask will be his 'face' in the future, and he cares about it very much.
"Brother, you went home to get something today. Have you got it back?"
"Yeah." Dugujiu nodded, put the mask aside, opened the cabinet and took out a sword.
He handed the sword to Li Mu and said, "Brother, I just went back to get the weapon."
Li Chongyi glanced at it, curled his lips, and lowered his head to stroke his axe. Not to mention whether Dugujiu's sword was good or not, he disliked the sword alone. It was too light and not suitable for chopping.
For cutting, it is not practical enough in actual combat. Compared with his giant ax, it is not worth mentioning at all.
Dugujiu was obviously very satisfied with his sword and said: "Brother, my father spent a lot of effort to get this sword. The origin of this sword is unknown, but it looks like it should be a Han sword. Especially
Sharp, I like it very much.”
Li Mu pulled out the sword, activated the system with a thought, and the situation of the sword emerged in his mind.
[Qingfeng sword: a one-handed sword. The Qingfeng sword of the Han Dynasty, the sword embryo was mixed with meteorite and was extremely sharp.].
[Basic strength requirement 15].
[Agility +3].
[Endurance +3].
【?】.
question mark?
Li Mu frowned slightly. This was the first time he saw the question mark. It must be related to the meteorite in the sword embryo. The meteorite sounds like a high-grade material. If the inference is correct, it should be the swordsmith who forged the sword.
, mistaking meteorite iron for ordinary iron, resulting in the fact that the expected characteristics of meteorite iron are not fully utilized.
Li Mu weighed the sword and said: "Brother, you and I are actually weapons masters. The big ax was made by me myself. I think your sword is still a little short of heat. If you
Trust me, I can try and make it better."
Dugujiu didn't hesitate at all, nodded and said: "I believe in brother, I can do whatever I want with you."
"Okay!" Li Mu put his sword back into its scabbard and said, "Just do it, and you will come and help. Big man, let's go and light the stove!"
Li Chongyi responded, and the three of them came out of Dugujiu's residence and came to Li Mu's studio. It was the first time for Dugujiu to come. Seeing the various tools in the studio, he knew that what Li Mu said was true and that he had real skills.
of.
Li Mu asked him to wait nearby and raised the stove together with Li Chongyi. Li Chongyi and Li Mu had worked together many times and were already familiar with these tasks. After a while, the fire was burning brightly.
Li Mu put Dugujiu's sword into the furnace, gritted his teeth, and bought a [Forging Catalyst] from the system store. Just this [Forging Catalyst] cost him a thousand dollars!
The function of [Forging Catalyst] increases the temperature of the furnace within a certain period of time. Its effect is affected by the user's forging level and furnace level.
Ancient smelting techniques and the highest level of craftsmanship can create temperature conditions that will not exceed 1,200 degrees. The melting point of iron is 1,535 degrees, which is far from the point of melting iron into iron juice. We can only retreat.
Secondly, after repeated forging at a certain temperature, debris and air bubbles are squeezed out, and the mechanical properties of the iron are improved through 'carburization'. During the Han Dynasty, craftsmen invented the technology of 'hundred steel making'
, increasing the number of repeated heating and forging, which not only processes the shape, but also reduces, refines and homogenizes the inclusions, greatly improving the quality of the steel.
Since the Han Dynasty, the craftsmanship has gradually become stable, and there is generally no change. Whether it is 'hundred refinements' or 'thousand refinements', after all, it is repeated forging. If the melting point cannot be reached, the problem of debris and tiny bubbles cannot be completely solved. At this time,
The right meteorite highlights its value.
Meteor iron comes from space, and part of it is itself pure iron. After being rubbed by the atmosphere, it reaches a high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees, far exceeding the melting point of iron. The process of falling is called "hundred-melt iron"
'It's not an exaggeration. If you use it to forge weapons, the materials will be superior.
[Forging Catalyst] can make the temperature in the furnace exceed 1500 degrees in a short period of time, reaching or even exceeding the melting point of iron. In this way, the weapons forged will have fewer impurities, fewer tiny bubbles, and more even carburization.
.
[Forging Catalyst] was thrown into the furnace, and the originally yellow flame burst into a burst of blazing light. Like the sun setting in the furnace, Li Mu knew that [Forging Catalyst] would not last long, so he raced against time to watch the iron sword.
It was burning red and there were faint signs of melting, so he took it out and put it on the anvil, picked up the hammer and started banging it.
He didn't dare to let Li Chongyi do it for him, because this was upgrading weapons, not forging weapons. Li Chongyi only had brute force, he was a 'hydraulic press', he only knew how to smash, could not control the force, nor did he know the heat or skill. Moreover, the sword embryo and him
The giant ax was also different. With such a thin blade, if Li Chongyi hammered it down, the only result would be to break it into two pieces, which was impossible.
Li Mu activated his skill, and the knocking sound came one after another, one sound faster than the other, and an afterimage was swung out with his right arm. He repeated this many times, and he didn't stop until the fire turned back to yellow flames.
Putting the sword blade into the quenched stone trough, water vapor suddenly filled the studio. When the water vapor dissipated, Li Mu took the sword out of the stone trough. The sword body had shrunk by a circle, but its sharpness was far stronger than before.
.The blade of the sword gleams with green light, and its momentum is breathtaking.
Looking at the properties of this sword at this time, it has changed.
[Meteorite Sword (can be named): a one-handed sword. Made of meteorite and refined over a long period of time; killing people without blood, cutting iron like clay.].
[Basic strength requirement 12].
[Agility +5].
[Endurance +5].
[cutting iron like clay].
Li Mu took a breath of cold air. Unexpectedly, he upgraded to a golden piece of equipment with special attributes. By default, the system defaults to a forged weapon with no attributes as white, with one attribute as green, and with two attributes as blue.
Having three attributes is gold. Normally, the third attribute is also an attribute point bonus, such as strength. But this weapon has the characteristic of 'cutting iron like mud', which means it is even more excellent because it can damage the same level.
The following weapons.
Moreover, after the upgrade, the basic strength requirement has been reduced by 3 points. In other words, if you are in the game, you can use this best weapon when the character level is lower. If an alt holds it, it is almost the same level.
Invincible. During pvp, you can also damage other people's weapons, which is so cool!
But now that we are not in the game, Li Mu is a little curious, whether this 'cutting iron like mud' can really 'cut iron like mud'. Li Mu carried the sword and came to the place where the iron ingots were stacked, and made two gestures.
Cracked down violently!
Dugujiu didn't expect that Li Mu would do this. It was too late to stop him, and he subconsciously grinned in distress. Suddenly his eyes widened because he saw an incredible scene. A three-inch thick iron ingot was split into two pieces with one strike of the sword.
