Chapter 187 Finally found a shortcut

With the sound of "Zila", the quenching was completed. Su Anran used the tongs to take the sword embryo out of the water. Taking the hilt as the base point, he looked carefully. He straightened it and flicked the sword embryo, making a crisp "dang, dang" sound.

sound.

What Jameson forged was a typical Western medieval dagger. He also flicked the sword embryo, and the sound it made became clearer and more pleasant.

Put a new sanding belt on the belt sanding machine, and the two stood on both sides of the belt sanding machine and started sharpening their swords at the same time. Sparks flew everywhere for a while. Jameson glanced at the oriental young man opposite and spoke in broken Longguo dialect.

, said with a smile: "Young blacksmith, the dagger I made with stacked Damascus steel will definitely be better than your Longquan sword."

Su Anran didn't say anything, but concentrated on sharpening his sword. He also had a vague premonition that he was going to lose.

At present, he has learned the method of clamping steel, but he has not yet learned the more advanced method of stacking steel. If he had known that Murakami Tanos would trick Jameson into challenging him, he should have learned the method of stacking steel earlier.

Now I'm at a big loss.

After the two men sharpened their swords, you can see that the dagger forged by Jameson has a water wave pattern, which is very beautiful.

The last step was to install the sword hilt. Su Anran installed the wooden hilt that was still made in advance. Jameson took out a paracord from his handbag and wrapped the hilt directly with the paracord.

After the sword hilt is installed, the sharpness test begins.

The two pieces of bamboo mat they chopped were left over from the last test. To be fair, they exchanged swords for the test. Su Anran took a dagger and slashed hard at the rolled-up half of the bamboo mat. With a "chun" sound, the bamboo mat responded.

And break.

The cut is very smooth, it is indeed a rare and good sword.

Jameson picked up the Longquan sword and slashed it hard at the bamboo mat. With a "dang" sound, in Su Anran's unbelievable eyes, the sword broke into two pieces. At this moment, Su Anran was completely confused. How could it be broken?

Where is it?

He obviously controls the temperature very well, so why shouldn't it be cut off?

Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Jameson smiled and said: "Young blacksmith, you are not good at controlling the temperature of the sword embryo. Forcibly quenching it with water will cause the sword body to become brittle. You should choose to use oil for quenching."

After saying that, under Su Anran's disbelieving gaze, he put the broken sword on the table, smiled at Xu Gang, nodded, turned and left the blacksmith shop.

Roof.

Wang Liang was lying on the sofa with a plastic tube in his mouth. The tube extended all the way into the drink bottle on the ground. He was holding his mobile phone and scrolling through the funny sounds while sipping the drink. He finished watching the latest issue of "Container Treasure Hunt"

, it was time to forge the knife again, and he swiped the screen unconsciously, and the big data recommended another piece of news to him about the knife forging competition.

"The apprentice of the Longquan Sword Forging Master was defeated by Jameson, a member of the Free Country Swordsmiths Association, and has quietly withdrawn from the preliminary round. Currently, there are only five knife-forging enthusiasts from the Dragon Kingdom participating in the preliminary round, and there are no famous blacksmiths."

After reading this message, Wang Liang didn't even click on the comment area. He had already guessed what those yin and yang weird people were going to say, so he turned off Douyin and continued to forge the knife.

The Internet is really blowing up. Various monsters and ghosts have come forward to say that the traditional culture of the Dragon Kingdom is coming to an end. Even the traditional knife and sword forging technology that has been passed down for thousands of years will be lost soon, and they do not pay attention to the protection of traditional culture at all.

Take a look at how well the traditional culture is protected in China.

After these people clamored, the news was also on the hot list of major online platforms, and some brainless people also said that the traditional culture of the Dragon Kingdom was coming to an end, as if the end of the world was coming.

.

If protection is really proposed, someone will definitely jump out and say, what is the use of doing these things all day long? Now is the era of hot weapons, and cold weapons have long been eliminated. Day by day, you will know that it is a waste of money, forged knives can

Forging chips?

Therefore, Wang Liang's brain can now automatically block spam messages.

The "wind" on the Internet comes and goes quickly. In just one day, this message disappeared into the vast "sea of ​​information". People who have expressed their opinions under this message have almost forgotten it.

News, as usual, express your opinions under various hot news.

The days passed like this day by day, and before I knew it, it was mid-July.

Jincha City is like being placed in a steamer, stuffy and hot. Wang Liang's knife forging studio has also been moved from the roof to indoors. The refrigeration system designed by Ying Zheng is very powerful. Standing in the studio, it feels a little...

Not even hot.

After nearly two months of hard forging, the progress bar has finally reached [Forged Knife: 3050/10000]. Don’t think it’s slow, it’s already very fast. Wang Liang has to forge more than forty knives every day. At the end of the day, he’s exhausted.

I feel like my body is hollowed out and I need to take Liuwei Dihuang Pills to nourish my kidneys.

On this day, I was really bored with forging swords, and a sentence suddenly popped into my mind, "What kind of knife is a knife, a golden ring knife, what kind of sword is a sword?" I forgot the last sentence, and I couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time. I went online.

After looking it up, I found out it was, "Closing Moon Shame Flower Sword".

An idea suddenly came to my mind, why not forge a large golden ring knife and play with it?

It took more than two hours to forge the large golden ring knife. Unexpectedly, the progress bar actually increased from [Forged Knife: 3050/10000] to [Forged Knife: 3100/10000].

this moment.

Wang Liang's eyes widened, his lips kept trembling, and he almost cried "Wow".

your sister!

too difficult!

The technique for practicing sword forging is actually this. Who would have thought of this horse riding technique first?

By analogy, Wang Liang used ready-made steel bars and spent more than two hours forging an extremely handsome Tang Heng Dao. As a result, the progress bar increased directly from [Forging Knife: 3100/10000] to [Forging Knife: 3200/

10000].

It went up by a full hundred.

This is a hundred!

According to the previous practice method, it will take at least two days of exhausting work to increase the number by 100.

Putting down the Tang Heng Dao, Wang Liang took a wide steel plate and forged a Qinglong Yanyue Dao used by Master Guan Er. As he expected, the progress bar jumped from [Forging Knife: 3200/10000] to [Forging Knife:

4000/10000].

It skyrocketed by a full eight hundred, which is so awesome.

By now, he seems to have figured out the law of skyrocketing. It should be that the more lethal a knife is forged, the more it will skyrocket, or the higher the level of forging craftsmanship, the more the price will skyrocket.

Besides the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, what other swords are there?

Wang Liang checked online and found that there were a series of famous knives such as Miao Dao, Guitou Dao, Zhan Ma Dao, Ba Zhan Dao, Machete, Xiuchun Dao, etc. He checked the time and found that it was only around nine in the morning. Now, he wanted to

Work hard and find the knife with the fastest progress bar.

Let’s start with the most famous Ghost Head Sword.

Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this is an ominous knife, which is specially used by executioners to chop off people's heads. It has a curved head, high counterweight, strong force and heavy weight, and is suitable for chopping. When the knife goes down, the head will fall to the ground.

Wang Liang picked a wide steel plate, put it in the electric furnace and started heating it. Thanks to the more than 3,000 knife forging exercises he had done before, after heating, he was very proficient in forging the Ghost Tou Dao. The hammer in his hand was like an arm.

In less than an hour, the knife shape was hammered out.

It took more than an hour to quench, sharpen the knife, and add the handle.

This time the progress bar skyrocketed by a full 500.

After that, after a busy day, I didn't bother to eat at noon. I tried various knives and found that it was the Qinglong Yanyue knife used for forging Guan Yu. The progress bar increased rapidly.

After a day of testing, the progress bar has also increased to [Forged Knife: 7500/10000].

I'm really tired and can't move anymore. I'll rest at night and I should be able to practice the 10,000 progress bar tomorrow.

Looking at the night sky, Su Anran was completely confused. After two months of study, he had learned the steel stacking method. His master encouraged him to sign up for the preliminary competition and compete for the skills passed down from his ancestors.

However, the moment when the Longquan sword was broken into two pieces flashed through his mind from time to time, like a slideshow, and the Westerner's false smile made him angry every time he thought about it.

Can you win if you compete in this state?

In the past two months, some old blacksmiths who are still struggling have been challenged by foreigners. I heard that it is normal to lose more and win less. The blacksmiths in these blacksmiths are all old like their master.

How could it possibly be better than those young and powerful foreign blacksmiths?

Since he injured his waist last time, Xu Gang's physical condition has deteriorated rapidly. He leaned on a cane and looked at the apprentice sitting at the door of the shop. He shook his head slightly and said, "There are many mosquitoes outside, so come back quickly!".

“Be back soon”

The next day, while Wang Liang was having breakfast, he came across another piece of news about the knife forging competition, "Tano Murakami, a famous forging master from the Plaster Kingdom, challenged seventeen well-known blacksmiths from the Dragon Kingdom, without losing any of them."

Zhang Dong, who was sitting across from him, also saw this news and cursed, "You have no shame in riding a horse. A young and powerful young man challenges some old men in their seventies and eighties, and also challenges seventeen in a row. It's really a little bit."

I don’t even want to lose my face.”

After scolding, I clicked on the comment area, and sure enough, many people were kneeling and licking me.

Brother Cai: "The real traditional forging technology is in plaster country, and people pay attention to the protection of traditional culture."

Little Red Riding Hood's hat: "It's not that I worship foreigners. Facts have shown that our traditional skills have completely withered away. Unlike people abroad who value traditional skills and protect them very well."

The sky is brighter: "In such a big dragon country, no one can stand up and destroy Murakami Tanano?".

There are dozens of replies below this comment.

Car dealer: "What should I use to kill it? Use the keyboard?"

Jinli Tobacco and Liquor Store: "Where are the young blacksmiths now? Can you find them for me?".

Zhang Heping: "It's tiring, and I can't make any money. Young people don't want to learn anymore, so I can't compete with others."

After reading these comments, Zhang Dong was angry, but he also had to admit that some people were right. Who would learn to forge now? Besides, Brother Liang is so idle that he forges knives every day, right?

Brother Liang, how is your knife forging skill now?".

"Please change what to do to a perfect one"

"Then you hurry up and kill this Murakami Tanano. I will get angry when I see him now. Let him know that when it comes to forging swords, the people of the Dragon Kingdom are his ancestors!"
