Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 169
After eating.

Zhang Ziqi left first. He didn't drink at noon because he still had work.

Qin Luo also just had a drink or two, and then followed Qin Guangrong to the firing workshop.

The Golden Snake Sword is still under construction.

However, Qin Guangrong couldn't wait to try the "tiling" technique.

Qin Luo, on the other hand, followed a master craftsman and visited the workshop casually.

He has to choose the right material.

Just like what I realized earlier, in the casting field, material comes first.

To some extent, many of the secrets of the ancient sword casting method, such as the method of clamping steel, combining three pieces, combining seven pieces, etc., are mostly based on the premise that steelmaking technology is underdeveloped, through special methods to improve the strength of materials. performance.

If the technology is not enough, we need to make it up by hand.

And now...

It doesn't need to be so laborious at all, just buy it directly on the market.

Of course, you have to be familiar with yourself first.

In the warehouse of the factory, there are various samples of steel products, hundreds of pieces, just looking at the serial numbers, it makes Qin Luo dizzy.

Steel is the mother of industries.

To what extent has human's iron and steel technology developed now?
That is... the barriers are so high that ordinary people can't understand it without professional study.

Look at the numbers of these steels:
CPM 15V、CPM Rex T15、CPMREX76、S12-1-4-5、TSP4……

Qin Luo:? ? ?
I don't know where this standard system was invented?

Probably from the west.

For this system, Qin Luo considered whether to learn it, but after thinking about it, he gave up temporarily.

Too cumbersome.

And unnecessary.

Feel it directly.

All steel, to put it bluntly, has four dimensions: hardness, density, toughness, and corrosion resistance.

All problems are problems of proficiency.

After seeing so many swords and so many materials, Qin Luo can almost instinctively determine what kind of steel is suitable for it by relying on the feel of the hand.

Of course, rollovers are possible.

But the success rate is still not low.

Playing casually, weighing, and distinguishing the subtle differences between different numbers just now, Qin Luo picked for a while, and a small steel sample was honorably selected by him.

The master who came with him took a look and smiled involuntarily.

"Master Qin is still a professional.

Qin Luo turned around, glanced at him, and smiled slightly.

The master said again: "CPM3V, a high-toughness, high-wear-resistant powder knife steel produced by powder metallurgy technology, with a hardness of 58-60HRC. It can be said to be perfect hardness."

"Wear-resistant, excellent edge retention performance, the alloy mainly contains high carbon and high vanadium elements, and is most suitable for casting swords."

Qin Luo nodded.

"Okay, that's it."

……

When walking out, Qin Luo took the time to search Baidu, CRM, and found that this is the name of an industrial process, and the Chinese name is "powder metallurgy steel".

Its main characteristic is to provide a more uniform carbide distribution with an expensive and complex manufacturing process.

Therefore, the performance is far superior to the steel produced by ordinary technology.

It has to be said that the influence of modern industry on traditional crafts is enormous.

If the ancient swordsmiths could forge such steel, they could be regarded as famous masters of a generation.

However, in modern times, it only costs a few thousand yuan, and you can buy it casually.

of course……

What is modern is modern, and what is traditional is traditional.

Some things can still be played out.

Even, standing on the shoulders of giants, you can go further.

……

After choosing an independent forging workshop, Qin Luo began to "forge iron".

Haven't streamed live for a few days.

Today, I took advantage of the opportunity to open a live broadcast room as a commemoration of my first independent forging.

"Brothers, I've been in Longquan for the past two days. I'm here to play with my college roommates. By the way, I'll show you how to forge swords."

After a simple opening statement.

when!
Qin Luo went on with a hammer.

Because of its toughness, this piece of steel is not so easy to hammer, and its deformation is quite limited.

The material is too good, but it also has disadvantages.

It's just not easy to build.

In fact, a good swordsmith is like a chef, who must make reasonable use of various materials and fully match a table of perfect dishes.

There is always a trade-off.

Pig iron can create the kind of swords that can be made from steel that has been tempered to the point of softness. Soft swords can be soft or hard, and even non-Newtonian fluids like Chengying Sword.

However, this kind of steel is obviously absolutely impossible.

I can't do it even if I'm exhausted.

However, this time, Qin Luo just tried his hand first.

dang dang...

Qin Luo was very patient, knocking with a hammer and putting it in the fire to warm it up from time to time, so that he could grasp the critical point more clearly.

After dozens of hammers, he found the feeling of casting a sword.

As a result, hammering became more and more handy.

This is like a martial arts master with "profound internal strength", no matter for any move, as long as he is familiar with it a little, he can already use it easily.

The number of people in the live broadcast room is also increasing at this time.

"I'm convinced, you really don't do your job properly, and you started to strike iron again?"

"I, Nima... really know how to play, a man's dream."

"Excuse me, can the knife you make shoot garlic?"

"Hahahaha, beware of the lawyer's letter warning..."

"My family members in the live broadcast room, is iron cheaper than jade? Does it mean that I can afford it?"

"I want to eat farts. Handmade by masters, starting at six figures."

"Don't worry, I, Brother Luo, have a lot of integrity, and I never try to be poor."

……

Sister Cha watched a group of people blowing water in the barrage, but it wasn't actually a yin and yang. Anyway, everyone has accepted this "setting" now.

As Qin Luo's fame grew, the price naturally went up.

After thinking about it, Sister Cha posted the photo of Qin Luo's previous "sexy anchor, blacksmithing online" with her room management account.

She just has such a "desire to share" and "desire to show off".

I can't wait to show off the best Qin Luo one after another.

Just like what I said in the live broadcast room before, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together.

Highlight one word, show.

"Damn! This fucking muscle!"

"Yaoshou, Brother Luo is starting to play around? Report, you must report!"

"Such clear muscles, hiss, I want to lick, zip..."

"Sister Cha is so generous, hee hee, good sister, send me the coordinates, and she will be airborne overnight."

"Reported..."

"Report the dead family!"

All kinds of bullet screens and demons dancing wildly.

Sister Cha smiled contentedly.

Tut tut...

vanity.

At this time, Qin Luo was still hammering one hammer after another, and the steel body began to forge a sword, revealing the shape of a dagger.

Start simple first.

As for the material and characteristics of this steel, Qin Luo has not fully figured it out. The difficulty of casting a dagger is obviously much simpler than that of a long sword.

Stress is well controlled.

The heat is also easy to control.

Next, is the tedious and delicate "firing" process.

The old master next to him was watching and kept talking about his previous casting experience.

Qin Luo absorbed some, and also added his own routine operating habits.

The most suitable temperature for making this kind of steel is about 1100 degrees, which is similar to the data provided by the master.

Then there is annealing.

Then do the stress relief.

Then, do hardening, quenching, and straightening.

And, temper three times in a row.

By the time the whole set of procedures was put into operation, the night had already fallen.

However, looking at the black dagger in his hand, the craftsmanship is still unfinished, and there is still the last step, polishing.

The live broadcast is temporarily over.

Take a night off.

The next morning, Qin Luo continued to live broadcast and polish.

In fact, many modern grinding processes have begun to use belt machines and electric tools to save labor.

However, Qin Luo insisted on grinding it with his hands.

It's not that I don't look down on the belt machine.

In fact, there is not much difference in essence.

It's just that it's the first time to finely polish in reality, the accumulation of experience and feelings is quite important.

When sharpening the sword.

Qin Guangrong also came over to look at it, still holding the Golden Snake Sword in his hand.

With a beaming look on his face.

"Master Qin, it's finished burning and polished, can you take a look?"

The whole body of the Golden Snake Sword has not yet started, but it looks like it is not much different from the one in the TV series.

The surface has been painted to present a golden color, which is not gold naturally, but a special color paint.

Qin Luo put down the grinder in his hand, picked up this one casually, and pulled a sword flower, feeling quite satisfied for a while.

Just one word.

handsome.

Cold weapons do have a kind of romance from the depths of their genes.

However, Qin Luo also knows that this kind of sword is just a "ceremonial weapon". It has a good decorative effect and is very beautiful. Of course, it is also solid and durable. It can only be used as a stick.

In Qin Luo's mind...

Inexplicably, there is an obsession with things like "lethal power".

His idea of ​​casting swords originated from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The sword at that time was not a symbol of a ritual weapon, but a pure weapon.

If you don't have a sharp edge, and you can't kill someone with a sword, can that be called a sword?

Played for a while...

The live broadcast room was amazed, all kinds of shit, I also thought it was very handsome, and some people asked about the price.

But Qin Luo didn't make any reply.

This is impossible to sell.

The cost of this sword is more than 5000 yuan, and it is customized by a special department. After that, it has to go through various special processing. According to Qin Guangrong, it seems that gemstone coating is also added.

Adding gemstone coating to the sword body is also a routine operation, it will look very gorgeous, and the patterns will be more exquisite.

But... that would be even more useless.

It's purely the surface of donkey dung.

Of course, what people themselves want is a good-looking, valuable, and handsome person.

Returning the Golden Snake Sword to Qin Guangrong, they continued to test the "tiling" technique, while Qin Luo continued to sharpen his dagger.

Or rather, short swords.

This one, without those fancy radians and decorations, is a straight short blade with symmetrical left and right sides.

Qin Luo sharpened it for more than an hour, and the snow-white blade began to show, looking cold, and the feeling of danger permeated instantly.

Grind into.

Qin Luo held the sword in his backhand and stood up.

"Show me, wow... hiss, a bit handsome!"

Sister Cha ran over excitedly, but Qin Luo stretched out her hand and stopped her one meter away.

"Wait!"

"do not!"

"stop!"

Sister Cha was slightly taken aback, and stood where she was.

Qin Luo smiled helplessly: "This dagger is too sharp, let me show you."

There was a tough deerskin glove next to it. Qin Luo put the blade on it without any effort. The light gray deerskin glove split into two parts in an instant.

"Pull your hair out."

Qin Luo hid the dagger behind her back again, and moved behind her.

Sister Cha let out a "huh", but still obediently, she found a piece of her long hair from the collar.

Qin Luo held the hair with two fingers, and held up the broken blade with the other hand, and blew lightly. It was visible to the naked eye that the hair fell into two pieces at the same time as it fell on the blade.

"That's what the book says, blow your hair and break your hair."

"Let me try to cut iron like mud again."

There is an iron block next to it.

Qin Luo picked up a piece casually, and gently sliced ​​it with a dagger. It was easier than peeling a potato, and iron filings fell down one after another.

Sister Cha was dumbfounded.

This……

"Isn't it possible to stab someone to death with a knife?"

She said it very directly.

Qin Luo: ...

Dumbfounding.

Women are really ignorant about cold weapons.

"Ordinary fruit knives can stab people to death."

"However, this knife can not only stab people to death, let's put it this way, it can cut off the neck and cut off the head with one knife."

"You must not touch the blade with your hands, it is best not to approach it, otherwise, with a light touch, a finger may be gone."

hiss……

Sister Cha gasped again, and couldn't help but take a step back.

I feel a little scared.

This kind of thing is really scary.

No wonder, Qin Luo didn't let himself get close just now.

In the live broadcast room at this time, the fans and audience were completely blown away.

Is this the legendary divine weapon?
Think about it, it is indeed bloody, powerful, but very attractive.

With such a sharp blade in hand, it is really... too much punishment!

If you are not careful, you may commit a crime.

"Master Qin, come, try with this ox bone."

An old craftsman next to him smiled and brought over a huge ox bone, which was very thick and had marks of various sword trials on it.

Qin Luo took it with one hand, put it on the workbench, held the dagger, and chopped it off with his forehand.

The hard bone was cut into two in an instant.

No pressure.

Didn't even hear anything.

Next, Qin Luo took a green brick and a stone respectively, and tried them separately, but they were both effortless to split.

Didn't even roll the blade.

This is of course due to the strength and toughness of the steel itself, and at the same time, I also added some special techniques in the process of building and grinding.

Stacked wave method.

It's just that the precision is so high that it's almost invisible to the naked eye.

"what?"

"and many more!"

"that……"

"There is an official account, follow us."

Sister Cha suddenly reminded softly, feeling a little nervous and hurried.

Qin Luo was also stunned by it.

Take a look.

It's an account of @海城公安, following me.

He also left a message: Master Qin, come to the bureau when you have time, and I will treat you to coffee. (dog head)

Qin Luo: ...

Speechless for a while.

Uh.

This kind of "magic weapon" is definitely a controlled knife in China. It is too dangerous and will pose a great threat to the lives and property safety of the people.

Qin Luo now suddenly understands better the reason for the decline of this business.

Extrusion of hot arms.

pressure from the social environment.

With these two items alone, its positioning can only be limited to "crafts" and "decorations".

For external sales, Kaifeng can't even do it.

Since ancient times, it has been banned by chivalry with martial arts.

But, all the heroes are gone?
What is the use of a sword?
"Haha, that's enough, I got it. Well, do you still want to see some special magic soldiers in martial arts novels? Let me try to fight a dozen."

"Actually, I really like peerless swords. The Blood Drinking Knife is also good. You can also try Xiao Yan's Xuanzhong Ruler and Zhang Xiaofan's Fire Stick."

"Oh, by the way, and Frostmourne, does anyone like it?"

Qin Luo quickly entertained the topic.

In China, such a powerful short sword is not allowed to exist.
