Chapter 31 Sword Refining II
Life occupation, like combat occupation, can only be selected. Ye Liu's life occupation is an expert blacksmith, while A Jiang's is an expert alchemy.
The cold front swept a lot of demon strongholds with the steel alliance. Although it is not as high as those strongholds that collect protection fees, it has also captured a lot of trophies in each battle. A lot of advanced ores have also been obtained, and even some mithres, which have been made after being melted by the low-level blacksmiths in the mercenary regiment. The metal ingots used to build equipment are now available. Ye Liu can help several mercenary regiments make some weapons or protective equipment.
Although the quality of low-level military rank equipment is good, its attributes are biased towards survival, and its lethality is relatively weak, which is not suitable for the cold front. Xinqi and several people are at the current level.
Making equipment is a time-consuming and laborious job. After calling Xinqi to inquire about the inventory of all the materials of the mercenary regiment, Ye Liu carefully calculated what should be made.
Expert-level blacksmiths are also a rare existence in their origins. Originally, Ye Liu had no interest in life and occupations, but in the past, he needed to make horseshoes when he was in Qiuming Mountain. This thing was relatively rare at that time, and few people could do it. In desperation, Ye Liu could only be self-reliable. However, fortunately, he took advantage of a monopoly period in the early stage and made a lot of money. He also relied on a large number of raw materials to directly upgrade his blacksmith level to a higher level. Later, he worked hard to complete the promotion task, making the title of life profession higher than the combat profession.
However, Ye Liu, an expert blacksmith, still has a lot of water. Compared with other formal ways, he relies on knives, guns, swords and halberd, helmets, breastplates, and hammers, the success rate of the work is a little lower. Fortunately, the materials are relatively sufficient now, and they are not afraid of scrapping.
Weapons in military rank and equipment not only require great honor, but also are much worse in texture, sharpness or strength than weapons of the same level. Only one advantage is that maintenance is cheap. This disadvantage is not very prominent in team combat, but professions such as Xinqi, a cold front is higher than 35. As the main output, there are a lot of problems.
Looking at the list of materials, Ye Liu thought for a long time and made a decision. He took A Jiang, who had nothing to do, to the blacksmith's office in the Hell Pioneer Camp. The scale of the blacksmith's shop in the army is not small. The number of blacksmiths, regardless of the level, is more than 20, providing equipment maintenance services for thousands of troops in the barracks every day, and the equipment is also comparable to More complete.
Ye Liu, the commander, wanted to use the blacksmith's shop equipment. Naturally, the leader of the blacksmith's shop did not dare to object and quickly set up a free stove.
He took out a pile of fine iron ingots, steel ingots, and a few finger-sized mithril from the belt and put them on the table. A Jiang also took out some bottles and cans and put them out. As a senior alchemist, his task is to strengthen these metal attributes.
In the origin, equipment manufacturing and equipment strengthening is a very complex knowledge. A piece of equipment, especially high-quality equipment with excellent attributes, starts from the raw material state to the final product, not just the work of a blacksmith.
First of all, the metal synthesis of the alchemist to obtain harder and tougher forging materials, and then the casting of the blacksmith. At this time, the shape and basic attributes of the equipment have been fixed, and then the finished product is refined again by the alchemist, and the basic attributes are improved.
If the quality is excellent, you can find advanced enchanters for weapon enchantment and add additional attributes. General low-level enchanters can also increase a few powers, agility, intelligence and so on, but senior enchanters can greatly increase weapon attributes. So that you can add skills to the equipment.
If the player feels that his weapon can be strengthened again, he can also find a master-level manufacturer to add runes to the weapon to make the equipment get the spirit.
Of course, every time these equipment is strengthened, there is a leap in attributes. After three enhancements, an excellent or sophisticated equipment is even comparable to epic or even legendary equipment of the same level.
At the same time, the time and money that most people don't even dare to think about. It's better to buy one directly at the Duoyi auction, which is convenient and fast.
It is naturally impossible for Ye Liu to directly make several heroic or even epic-level weapons. Even if the expert level tries to make this kind of thing, the probability is almost zero. His goal is a blue sophisticated weapon with high basic attributes.
After taking over Ajiang's fusion of fine steel ingots, Ye Liu began to prepare for production. Even in the origin, the blacksmith was also a very hard job. This kind of hard work does not refer to physical consumption, but important to pay mental energy.
First, melt the fine steel ingots. In order to ensure the success rate, Ye Liu put all the processed fine steel ingots into the furnace. Ten minutes, a large pot of iron was poured into six very simple molds on the ground. After cooling, it turned into steel bars with arms more than one meter long.
The following is the most important and cumbersome stage of forging. Ye Liu picks up a steel rod that is still emitting water vapor with fire pliers, burns it red in the stove, and then moves it to knock on the iron, while A Jiang sprinkles powder on the iron lug from time to time, which can greatly enhance the hardness and toughness of fine steel and avoid quenching. This process not only increases the success rate of weapon production, but also makes the production process faster.
The first weapon is a one-handed sword made for Xinqi. He is a swordsman specializing in defense, so the demand for weapons tends to be heavier and stronger, so as to block and rely on weight bonus to create damage, so Ye Liu will start building with the broad sword as the template.
The attributes after the production of a weapon do not appear randomly, and have something to do with all the procedures in the production process. Of course, the greatest impact on the final product is the forging stage. Here, the shape of the weapon will be fixed, and the shape determines how much raw materials the weapon can eventually play.
In the origin, blacksmiths make equipment completely by hammer and hammer. Each hammer has an impact on the quality of the finished equipment, so players must pay attention to the accuracy and strength of each action when making it.
Now the leaf flow is like an old-fashioned clock with a fastened clockwork. Every beat of the hammer in the hand is separated by the same frequency. The hammer in the right hand and the fire pliers in the left hand. With the sound of the bell, the hot fine steel rod is slowly raised from a circle into a middle, and the flat diamond on both sides.
When the tail of the real iron castle is still original except for the fire pliers, and the other parts have obviously had the outline of the sword body, Ye Liu once again inserted the semi-finished stainless steel sword body into the stove to heat it. The following is the key. This is the difference between expert blacksmiths and senior blacksmiths when making weapons.
Next to A Jiang was not idle. He quickly configured a bottle of blue potion with white fog, handed it to Ye Liu, took this bottle of refined plasticizer, and Ye Liu carefully fell on the fine steel sword that had just pulled out of the stove.
The blue potion gathered into a filament at the mouth of the bottle. After falling on the sword, it was like cream squeezed on the cake, which condensed and did not disperse, but the sword body, which originally emitted a lot of heat, emitted a large amount of white steam, and the fiery red color was also faded a lot.
After both sides of the sword body fell, Ye Liu picked up the hammer and began to hit again, but this time it was different from just now. The purpose was to infiltrate the shaper into the sword body, so the tapping power was small and fast. When the blue shaper completely disappeared, a faint blue reflect appeared on the sword.
Now what Ye Liu has to do is to make an inconspicuous arc on the blade that has not yet started. The starting position of this arc is concave, but after passing the middle of the sword body, it begins to convex and finally converges on the tip of the sword. The arc of the blade is not obvious, and it is difficult to recognize that the two edges are not flat with the naked eye alone. This handling of details can greatly enhance the strength of the sword body.
However, it is also very difficult to make, because the curvature is very low, and the body of the sword on both sides needs to be symmetrical, which completely relies on the hammer to complete this shape. Even with the help of the shaper, it is still difficult. Ye Liu has not been used many times. Every time the next hammer position, the force must pass through Careful calculation.
For half an hour, the sword body returned to the furnace many times to complete the whole process. An iron rod just now has been completely formed with the cooperation of Ye Liu and A Jiang. Although the hilt of the sword has not been installed, the cooled sword body is as smooth as a mirror, emitting a faint cold light. A Jiang put his hand on the sword and immediately felt a coolness. He passed straight up from his arm and shivered.
In the last process, the sword body fits the hilt, clamps the sword body, and puts the tail of the cylindrical sword body into the stove. Under high temperature, it immediately burns red and pulls it out into a long qi shape. After heating, it is inserted into the hilt. When the hilt cools, the tail of the sword is firmly stuck. Inside the groove of the hilt.
The last process is completed, and the weapon is formed. It is not bad. It is a blue sophisticated weapon. The system is automatically named, a sharp battle sword.
Ajiang tried his best to pick up this newly released weapon with one hand, and this iron rod, which was originally weighed more than 20 kilograms, has become the current appearance and is not what Ajiang, a low-power mage, can play with at will.
"It looks good." Holding the one-handed sword in his hands and waved it a few times, A Jiang looked excited. He liked this work that also sweated a lot, but Ye Liu shook his head, "It's still a little worse. The hardness and toughness are not worth it."
Despite this, Xinqi still fell in love with this weapon after his appearance. In the face of demons in his forties or fifties, it is now difficult for him to pose a threat to the other party. The previously equipped ten-fufu chief saber is really worthless compared with this sharp one-handed sword with a weight of 340 and a weight of 22.45.
But Ajiang had to interrupt. The expert alchemist wants to refine this weapon for the first time. There are many conditions for formal weapon refining, and the materials prepared are also very complicated. However, this weapon is ordinary in A Jiang's view. If he hadn't participated in the production, I'm afraid he wouldn't have seen it any more time. After a simple process, the refining will be completed in a quarter of an hour. The name of the weapon has also become a sharp conquest sword.
