"Let's take a look first, you can observe this carving, there are some differences between commercial carving and the art carving you learned, I will give you a suggestion, find some stones of similar density, and then practice. Chu Yan naturally wouldn't do this dagger now, he had a lot of more important things to do, after all, the fifty kilogram mammoth sling was quietly placed on the side of the shelf.

"Okay, but, Brother Chu, I see that the layout of your second floor seems to be a blacksmith shop, are you going to build something?" Su Yinan is a student of carving, and has a good understanding of forging and carving, which belong to the same type of technical work as carving, of course, she doesn't like to strike iron, and understanding this is purely a personal liking.

Su Yinan said that the materials of the guests who carved the first custom carving were put on the side of the partition frame specially set up for carving, and in addition to the arrangement of 70% of the second floor used for striking iron, there was about 40 square meters of space isolated as a carving studio near the staircase.

"Well, you guessed it, okay, let's go down first, you come here to work, you have to formally introduce your colleagues. Chu Yan walked downstairs with a smile, and Su Yinan followed downstairs after laying out the drawings on the carving table.

Downstairs, Fan Xianghan and Wang Lan were sitting in the reception desk looking at the computer, and they didn't react much to Su Yinan's arrival.

"You two stop the work in your hands first, let me introduce you to you, this is Su Yinan, from now on, she is the carver of all-encompassing carving, the three of you will cooperate well in the future, okay, you talk first, I will go upstairs first, and I will invite you to eat KFC at noon." Chu Yan smiled and turned around and walked upstairs, and Wang Lan, Fan Xianghan and Su Yinan, three girls of the same age, quickly chatted together, as for what to talk about, this is not Chu Yan's concern, he has more important things to do now.

The fire of the furnace is definitely something that Chu Yan has been looking forward to for a long time, the relatively primitive carbon furnace is relatively troublesome to start a fire, and the time consumption will be a long time, and the brand new furnace that has never been on fire needs a few hours to adapt to the burning of the furnace fire, so, after counting the time, if you make a fire now, it should be able to completely and completely enter the state at night.

The traditional furnace, the way of making a fire is also very traditional, from the initial softwood to the hardwood to the final coal in the final forging, the coke and pine carbon used in the final forging need to be used step by step, so when Chu Yan raised the furnace fire and put in the coal for ignition, he stopped the work at hand, looked at the time, it was time to go to dinner.

I went downstairs, locked the door, drove the three beautiful clerks to the KFC closest to the antique city, and then ate a meal of junk food with an open belly, and then turned back to the store.

As time passed, the temperature of the forging furnace on the second floor gradually stabilized, no longer high and low, seeing that the furnace had basically entered the state, Chu Yan raised his hand and looked at the time, it was six o'clock in the evening, it was time for the clerk to get off work, of course, there was another very important thing, that is, Chu Yan seemed to agree to Mo Xiyao to eat lightly.

After weighing it again and again, Chu Yan finally chose to build a section of steel cable Damascus to find the feel, after all, the fifty-kilogram mammoth sling is actually only five sections more than one meter long, so the material cannot be wasted, but Chu Yan must first find the peak state of forging, so practice has become a must.

Fortunately, a steel cable of about one meter can be cut into four sections of material for later use, so Chu Yan doesn't have to worry too much about the material, anyway, he only needs one work to participate in the Chicago Knife Show.

After instructing Fan Xianghan and the three of them to get off work, Chu Yan locked the door of the store from the inside, then came to the second floor, put on thick overalls, and then began the preparations before forging.

A section of a mammoth sling with a diameter of 32 mm was removed from the material table, then cut into four sections of about 25 centimeters, one of which was picked up and placed on the forging table next to it, and the remaining three sections were put away for later use.

Although this mammoth sling is an unused steel cable, Chu Yan still chose to treat it as a used steel cable, because the cut steel cable will loosen after a short time, so the first thing Chu Yan did was to weld the two ends of the steel cable.

However, before welding, there is one more thing to do, that is, the oil is completely infiltrated into the steel cable, and then the fire is ignited, the purpose of which is to soften and remove the impurities attached to the steel cable in the first step, which will save a lot of effort during forging.

During this period of time when the oil and impurities that had penetrated into the steel cable were removed by heating, Chu Yan took out the vise, board and forging agent he had prepared, and prepared to officially start work!

After brushing off the impurities through the iron brush, apply the forging agent again, and repeat the whole step of heating and brushing to remove the impurities after the forging agent is completely penetrated.

"OK, let's get started!" Looking at the heavy sling steel cable in front of him, Chu Yan's body instantly entered a very relaxed state, this was the last time he adjusted his state before forging, and the next thing was about to be forged with real knives and guns.

Put the steel cable in the furnace and heat it up until the steel cable is completely beautiful orange, then lift the hammer, place the steel cable in the corner of the anvil, and smash it down!!

"Ding!!" The moment the first hammer fell, sparks erupted from the top of the steel cable, and Chu Yan's body instantly found the feeling that once made him extremely hot, and his arm waved the iron hammer and smashed it down one after another, after more than a dozen hammers, Chu Yan dripped the forging agent on the side to the welded part, until the radius of the last end became about one-third of the original, the sound of Chu Yan's falling hammer had some changes, and then the steel cable was flipped ninety degrees, and the steel cable was hammered into a square.

During this period, Chu Yan's iron brush has been brushing the impurities that have surfaced because of forging, and the impurities must be completely removed, these impurities are the most important hidden danger to avoid cracks in the blade in the future, after doing all this, Chu Yan once again dripped the forging agent on the steel cable, and then put it into the furnace!

After many times of forging, Chu Yan put the steel cable on the vise, and firmly clamped the front end, and the other section was fixed with a wrench, and then the most important step was to rotate the steel cable, in the process of this step, Chu Yan's speed has been controlled very slowly, if the speed is too fast, it is likely to break the steel cable, so the speed and temperature of the steel cable must be controlled.

Six times, Chu Yan rotated the steel cable in his hand six times, and the oxide scale on the surface kept falling off, watching the steel cable slowly take shape in his hands, the familiar feeling in Chu Yan's heart was also returning bit by bit!!

"Press, it's your turn to appear dude!" took out the steel cable that had reached the temperature in the furnace and put it into the press, and then molded this steel cable into a square, of course, this process is not done once, it is done many times, each time the amount of pressure is very small, and after repeated many times, it can complete the complete forging of this piece of Malaysian leather steel.

The stamping process also needs to constantly drip in the forging agent and remove impurities, through nearly an hour of hard work, a section of mammoth sling finally turned into a piece of steel in front of Chu Yan without any traces of the steel cable, of course, there is also the credit of the grinder, after all, grinding is an important step to smooth the surface of the steel and prevent cracks in the knife body.

In short, a piece of Dama Geshi steel was finally fully formed in Chu Yan's hands!

At the same time, the phone that Chu Yan put aside also rang, and put aside the formed Dama Geshi Steel to slowly cool down in the sand and soil transported back from Tibet, Chu Yan picked up the phone, and the caller ID was very clear, it was Mo Xiyao!

As soon as he pressed the answer button, Mo Xiyao's somewhat playful voice reached Chu Yan's ears!

"Chu Yan, do you want to release my pigeons?"
