Chapter 498: Teaching Dwarven Blacksmithing
When the dwarven king heard this, he began to take the dwarves to prepare according to the king's commands.
Because the dwarven clan originally liked hammer-shaped weapons, they quickly got enough of what the king array said.
Seeing that the dwarf king was ready so quickly, Wang Zhen nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he looked at the hundred or so dwarves who were about to learn the art of forging from him and said, "Seriously, before I came to your dwarf clan, I always thought that you dwarves must have a very good casting technique!"
"But when I came to you dwarves, I was honestly disappointed. ”
"Because, for so many years, you still use the simplest casting method to make weapons, but you have never thought about why the cast weapons are not hard enough, easy to break, and so on. ”
"And no one has ever thought of improving the traditional casting method!"
"But that's okay, because I'm calling you here today because I'm going to teach you a new way to make weapons, the forging method. ”
"What is the forging method, a weapon, after a hammer of thousands of tempers, the final weapon, the method of its use, is the forging method. ”
As he spoke, Wang Zhen picked up two hammers the size of watermelons and said to the many dwarves.
"I see, most of your weapons are these round hammers. ”
"I want to ask you now? Believe it or not, I can reduce the strength of this hammer to the size of your fist without any material loss?"
When the dwarves heard this, they looked at the hammer, then at their fists, and shook their heads.
At the same time, they were secretly wondering in their hearts whether Wang Zhen was bragging.
When the king looked at the faces of the many dwarves, he knew that they didn't believe it.
So, he said without any hurry, "I know you don't believe it, but just because you don't believe it doesn't mean that I can't do it." ”
"Next, I want you to keep your eyes open and see clearly, because I will use a thousand hammers to change one of the hammers in my hand from the size of a watermelon to the size of your fist. ”
After saying that, Wang Zhen placed one of the hammers the size of a watermelon on the mouth of the ground fire and let it burn red.
Although the temperature of the earth fire is not as high as the temperature of the Danhuo, it is better to be stable, so after a while, the hammer will become fiery red.
Wang Zhen saw it, took the red-hot hammer to the workbench, and then picked up another watermelon-sized hammer and smashed it at the red-hot hammer.
"Bell, bell, bell, bell......
Next, just listening to the sound of the bell, the iron hammer in Wang Jin's hand, under the observation of the divine sense, evenly hit every inch of the burning red iron hammer.
When it stopped, a small circular hammer appeared on the spot.
When many dwarves saw it, they were speechless!
Because, this can't be faked at all, right in front of their eyes, the original watermelon-sized hammer, after being beaten, actually shrunk again, what is going on?
Many of the dwarves here are still thinking!
Wang Zhen looked at the hammer in his hand, and casually put the hammer in the fire mouth of the place and heated it.
Because although the current hammer is already good, it still does not meet his standards.
After the hammer was placed on the mouth of the earth, after a while, it turned red again.
When Wang Zhen saw it, he put it on the workbench again.
Then he picked up the hammer in his hand and threw it at it.
"Bell, bell, bell, bell......
Then, the sound of the bell spread to everyone's ears.
It sounds noisy, but it's not chaotic at all.
After the king array stopped again, there was already an iron hammer that was only about fifteen centimeters long and the thickness of a calf on the iron platform.
The hammer, dark and shiny, shimmered with a charming sheen.
Wang Zhen looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the many dwarves and said, "Okay, it's finally done, if you don't believe it, you can come up and take a closer look." ”
After speaking, Wang Zhen left the iron platform where he worked.
The group of dwarves looked at it, you look at me, I look at you, and finally a slightly older dwarf walked up.
Coming to the top of the iron platform, the dwarf tried to take a few hammers forged by the king's array.
After some consideration, he found that although the hammer in his hand had become smaller, it was not at all lighter, and it was the same weight as the other unforged hammer.
Seeing this, he didn't believe it, and took the hammer and smashed it at the other one.
I saw that the hammer in his hand was intact, but there was a big mouth on the other hammer.
The rest of the dwarves were dumbfounded!
They didn't believe in evil, so they ran up one by one to experiment, and finally they all became speechless.
When they retreated, they all looked at Wang Zhen with feverish eyes.
Seeing that all the dwarves had no opinions, Wang Zhen walked over to the forging platform and continued, "I suppose no one doubts the truth of what I said now, right?"
"I just don't know, do you still want to follow me to learn the forging method that has been tempered for thousands of years?"
"Yes, yes!"
When the dwarves heard this, they raised their hammers and shouted loudly.
Wang Zhen looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at the appearance of those dwarves, they have now been impressed by his forging method, so that it will be easier for him to teach.
"Well, since you all want to learn, then let's not waste time. ”
"I think you almost all have two sledgehammers in your hands now. ”
"And as a forger, we also have a title, and that is the blacksmith!"
"And the most important thing for a blacksmith is the hammer in his hand. ”
"Not your hammer, of course, but the one I just forged in my hand. ”
"So, first, you have to learn from me and forge one of the hammers in your hand into a hammer that is similar to the one I have forged in my hand. ”
"This hammer is an indispensable tool for you to forge in the future!"
When the dwarves heard this, they all nodded their heads to show that they understood, and those who didn't have two hammers also got two hammers from somewhere else.
Wang Zhen looked at it and began to explain, "The first thing in forging is the hammer in our hands, because it is the main thing that determines the shape, style, and hardness of the weapon we want to forge. ”
"And the second most important thing is the source of fire!"
"Because in the forging process, only by repeated quenching, can the forged weapon withstand the continuous blows of the hammer. ”
"Otherwise, the forged weapon will only become unrecognizable and unevenly forced. ”
"The third most important thing is skill!"
"A weapon has at least thousands of points on its force surface. ”
"Only when you hammer it every point in your hand will it become the same hard, the same soft, and the same durable in every place, every inch. ”
And this is inseparable from skill. ”
