Chapter 15 Blacksmith's Hammer
Birds of a feather flocked. As a blacksmith, Long Yi was not very interested in other amateur things. The three of them acted separately, and soon Long Yi came to a blacksmith shop.
From a distance, he heard the sound of a clang of hammers here. In the past eighteen years, he has heard loud noises since he was a child. From this sound, it can be completely heard that the hammer faller is very powerful, and the hammer must be quite large, but he doesn't know what he is building.
"Golden Hammer." As soon as the dragon looked up at the sign, he knew that this place must be a store opened by the dwarf. Only the dwarf was so persistent and gold and gems, and even his surname was used by them. The dwarf called himself a golden hammer, so naturally he inherited the skills of the golden hammer since ancient times.
The storefront was not big and no one was taking care of it. Long Yi could easily walk to the backyard, and the sound of metal collisions became louder and louder. Finally, Long Yi saw a dwarf whose entire face was almost buried in his beard. He was holding up a hammer as big as a small oak barrel.
clang!
The hammer fell, and the objects on the anvil splashed out a large piece of sparks. The sparks fell on the dwarf's beard, and the smell of protein baking immediately spread around it.
"Hey! Boy! Why are you still stunned? Come and help!"
The dwarf roared, but didn't look up at Long Yi at all.
Long Yi smiled and said that he hadn't made a blacksmith for a few days, and his hands were a little itchy, so he grabbed a hammer from the side and walked over.
The dwarf's hammer is very big and heavy, but it is just right for Long Yi. Seeing the dwarf dropping the hammer, Long Yi followed by the second hammer to follow. The rhythm of the first three hammers was a bit messy, but after the three hammers, Long Yi could already swing the hammer completely at the dwarf's rhythm.
This is how Long Yi learned his blacksmith craftsmanship from his father. Now Long Yi has long become an excellent blacksmith who can stand alone. Naturally, he is familiar with this kind of cooperating skills.
The dwarf didn't say anything, and the two of them twitched for an hour. The prototype of a rather domineering Dragon-Slaying Sword had already appeared.
The dwarf picked up the sword and was about to throw it into the sink beside him to quench it, but Long Yi suddenly raised his hand and said, "Slow!"
The dwarf was stunned, but he really stopped.
Long Yi reached out and added the heavy Dragon-Slaying Sword with his fire tongs, and said to him behind him, "Bajie, medium firepower."
The fat Dragon Bajie of the Demon Abyss swung out and lazily spit out a mouthful of fire. The Dragon Sword immediately turned dark red. Then the Dragon Run ran to the sink and tried the water temperature. Then he slowly touched the sword blade of the Dragon Sword first. After several tests, the water slowly passed through the entire Dragon Sword.
"Boy, tell me, what are you doing?"
The dwarf's eyes, hidden in his hair and beard, shone with a faint light, but he asked in a vague way.
Long Yi smiled innocently and said, "This Dragon Slaying Sword uses carbon black iron. Under this red heat, it can greatly improve the hardness of the Dragon Slaying Sword blade, and at the same time ensure that the sword body has extremely strong toughness. You are a golden hammer blacksmith. You are just too lazy to do this kind of small problem, so how could you not know!"
The dwarf laughed and said nothing. He reached out to take out the cooled Dragon Sword from the sink, and then pulled out a ready-made Dragon Sword Sword embryo from the side and spread across the ground.
Dang!
The dragon-slaying sword on the ground was cut off with one knife.
The dwarf laughed when he saw the War Dragon Sword breaking into two pieces.
"Good boy! Among the students of Dragon Knight Academy, there is a rare metal-knowing person like you! I thought the Dragon Knight Academy was full of idiots with eyes on the head! This year, another group of kids advanced and wanted to customize a batch of dragon-slaying swords from me. I'm a golden hammer! I'm making dragon-slaying swords for a group of little hairy children, and I still want me to be as troublesome as making a magic weapon?"
Long Yi also smiled and said, "This is just a basic method of metal heat treatment. I cannot accurately measure the temperature now. Otherwise, I can do perfectly with the heat treatment of metal!"
Long Yi is not bragging. In his time, metal heat treatment was a separate discipline. Countless engineers put in a lot of effort to do this, and one failed experiment after another came up with extremely accurate values.
It can be said that in that world without magic, humans have reached the extreme in processing ordinary metals, and that cannot be surpassed by this world with the experience of their eyes.
Long Yi was a pilot, and by the way, he also practiced mechanical maintenance himself, and then he studied mechanical processing, and then, metal processing, metal heat treatment, and a lot of related disciplines.
It can be said that if you give Long Yi a precision machine tool now, maybe he can't make a jet, but it's no difficulty for him to rebuild a piston propeller aircraft of a general aircraft.
However, there are dragons in this world, and this kind of oil-burning machinery must be of no use.
Moreover, Long Yi really couldn't get a precision machine tool.
When the dwarf heard Long Yi's bold ambitions, he burst into laughter.
"Boy, you are very confident! I see your hand, you have been holding a hammer for at least ten years. Who is your master?"
Long Yi said: "I don't have a master, but my father has a good relationship with you."
The dwarf finally looked at Long Yi carefully and carefully: "I, Jin Hammer, can be regarded as a good human blacksmith, but I have such a big child... Are you Long Yi?"
The dwarf Jin Hammer finally remembered the child adopted by his friend, but he didn't expect that he had grown up so big.
Long Yi smiled and nodded: "Uncle, hello, I am Long Yi."
The dwarf looked at Long Yi's shoulders, then looked at his hands, and nodded in approval.
"Boy, since your father died, you have basically no news. Now you have suddenly become a dragon knight. You still tell me in the letter that you have something good to come to me, but you are not here to brag, right? I, Jin Hammer, have been playing with the hot red iron by the iron stove for seventy years, bragging in front of me, and be careful of being burned by the iron blocks!"
The dwarf's mining and forging craftsmanship are the best in the world, and no one doubts about this. Every year, countless humans who are determined to become the master of blacksmiths go to the Dwarf's furnace castle underground with a pious heart. It is the largest city in the Dwarf's world and the holy place for forging! There, the world's most famous dragon-slashing sword - Hundred Dragon Slash. It is a powerful weapon forged by dwarfs, refined by elves, and enchanted by several dragon mages.
According to rumors, the sword cut the head and neck of a hundred dragons in succession, but the sharpness was almost unchanged. It was the owner of this sword that ended the large-scale melee between the seven countries and formed the current relatively stable world pattern.
Long Yi was not angry when he saw that the dwarf didn't believe it. He knew that you could talk to the dwarfs for anything, but he could not question their prospecting and forging techniques. Especially the dwarf in front of him, he had more pride than other dwarfs, because the golden hammer was the surname of the blacksmith who forged the Hundred Dragon Slash!
So if you can't show evidence to convince Jin Hui today, Long Yi feels that he will be thrown out by this dwarf the next moment.
"Since that's the case, I'll show you Uncle Jinxiong, the gadget I made myself."
As soon as the dragon said, he touched his waist.
"Okay, okay, if you can come up with the quenching technology that you mentioned, today I, Gate Golden Hammer, will make you a dragon-slaying sword for free!"
The dwarf grinned, but his eyes were disdainful. This kid is very talented, but unfortunately, if he wants to challenge him, he will be a little tender!
However, when Long Yi took out the weapon in his hand, the dwarf's eyes immediately became a little straightened.
It was a short blade full of arc, which should be a large dagger. The blade body with a keel, and the black wooden handle on both sides. The lines were smoothly grinded, and the blade line was integrated, without any breakage or disharmonious bending. The entire blade was polished into a mirror, and even the blade was mirrored. Looking at the side light, the entire blade had a gray blue color!
The blade body and the handle patch are integrated, with almost no gaps at all. The rivets on both sides of the handle are polished to be as smooth as the handle. Then dozens of twill marks are opened on the handle to increase friction.
Damn it!
This thing!
So fucking beautiful! I like it so much!
The production is so exquisite, is it the work of the elves? No! This is not the work of the elves! The elves like to do meaningless things the most, even a short knife needs to be decorated with various elves patterns. The dagger is smooth and atmospheric in shape, without any unnecessary decoration at all, and is a weapon that completely pursues practicality!
Holding it in one hand, the handle of the knife is completely close to the palm of the palm, giving people a special sense of fulfillment.
"Bastard! Don't think that if you make good things, you can fool me with the Golden Hammer!"
As he said that, the Dwarf Golden Hammer raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed the dragon-slashing sword that had just been made!
clang!
Click!
The Dragon Sword was actually pierced by this dagger!
The dwarf immediately pulled out the dagger and carefully observed the damage of the dagger. He found that the tip of the dagger had collapsed under heavy blows, but the entire blade body remained extremely intact!
Metal fails!
The dwarf could see the crux of the problem at a glance. This short knife uses second-class blue steel, while his Dragon Slaying Sword uses top-class black carbon steel. In theory, blue steel is better than black carbon steel. However, second-class blue steel is softer, while the top-class black carbon steel is very hard. It can be made by this comparison to pierce the black carbon steel and has undergone a particularly quenched Dragon Slaying Sword. The heat treatment of this short knife is indeed extremely excellent!
Can I do it?
Jin Hammer asked himself.
He estimated it, maybe, it should be possible?
But he couldn't do it so beautifully!
"Boy, how did you do it, so, so beautiful?"
The dwarf Jin Hammer spoke a little hesitantly, and he was not very used to the word "beautiful" spoke out from his mouth.
Dwarves like high-end, elegant, high-end, crazy, cool, and amazing things, but they don’t like beauty. In their opinion, those who like beauty are all elves and sissy! What dwarves want is fierce! Strong! Not beautiful!
So, when the Dwarf Golden Hammer saw a weapon and first thought of it as beautiful, he was so shocked.
When Long saw the Jin Hammer's expression, he knew that his goal had been achieved.
"This is actually made of some small things I invented myself."
