Chapter 17 0 Practicing the Great Sword
Although he has been upgraded to a fifth-level apprentice knight, Abel's spirit is still very poor. Master Bentham saw him and hurriedly let him have a good rest. Knight Marshall led Abel out of the blacksmith shop and walked out.
Walking out of the blacksmith's shop, he saw the horse carriage dedicated to the Marshall Knights speeding from a distance. Abel couldn't help but glance down at the knight's boots, which were full of dirt. It took more than 20 minutes from the castle to the blacksmith's carriage. During the journey, the Marshall Knight couldn't wait, so he ran over to get there quickly.
You must know that Knight Marshall is a fief aristocrat. It is very shameful to run wild in his own territory, but Knight Marshall did it for Abel.
Abel looked at the happy-looking Marshall Knight. This particularly good-looking knight was in a state of embarrassment, but he was happy for his own upgrade. He couldn't help but warm in his heart, and said softly, "Uncle Marshall, thank you for everything you have done for me. ."
"What do children think so much." Knight Marshall patted Abel's head, pulled Abel into the carriage, and the carriage ran towards the castle against the sun.
"Ding, ding, ding." Abel came to the blacksmith shop early the next morning, and asked Master Bentham for a separate operation room. The master knew that this was the first time Abel made a great sword. I didn't want to be disturbed, so I agreed.
Abel's idea was that he didn't want others to see how he made this great sword, because he was going to use some techniques he had never seen anyone else use here, carburizing and quenching techniques he had learned from earth science shows.
The rough blank of the sword should be continuously exercised to reduce the carbon content. The lower the carbon content, the higher the quality of the rough blank. However, if the formed big sword is carburized and some carbon is added to the blade, the hardness of the big sword can be improved.
Abel put the formed great sword into a crucible. This crucible was specially fired by someone, just enough to put a great sword. It was prepared a few days ago. The great sword in the crucible Cover with charcoal, tempeh, and earth, then seal the crucible and heat it in the stove.
Charcoal and tempeh are naturally used for carburizing, and the soil is still a dispersant. The advantage of this carburizing technology is that the carburizing obtained by Dajian is very uniform and stable, and the carbon potential is very high, and the efficiency and effect are quite good. In fact, this technology is still used on the modern earth, which is the so-called "steel stew method".
When it comes to quenching, quenching in this world also has a corresponding technology, that is, throwing the sword into cold water for rapid cooling, but this also leads to a great increase in the scrap rate. Because of the rapid thermal expansion and contraction from hot iron to cold water, the internal stress in the metal is unbalanced during quenching, so that cracks occur when the sword is placed in cold water. .
The quenching technique used by Abel this time is a relatively special quenching technique. It is a new method of ancient sword practice in science programs. It completely touches the body of the sword, and then puts it into the quenching bucket. Half of the bucket is water and the other half is animal fat. The large sword that has been burned to nearly a thousand degrees first enters the animal fat, and a lot of heat is first absorbed by the oil. It is absorbed, but the heat transfer rate of animal fat is not fast, the big sword is not affected by the stress, and then enters the cold water. The temperature is not as high as before, and the big sword is quenched in the cold water for the second time.
After the big sword was cold, he took out the big sword from the quenching barrel. Abel flicked the surface of the sword with his hand, and the sound was very clear. Although the quality of the sword was unknown, the big sword was already made.
Calling the servants to clean up all the things in the operation room, Abel didn't want people to see any associations with these things. It is a very dangerous thing in this world to invent and create.
"Garden, can you help me find someone to make the sword handle?" Abel found Garden, who was busy, and asked a little embarrassedly.
Some of the sword handles are made of iron and wood,
Some are made of horns or some other hard materials, and Abel has never learned the craft of carving sword handles, so he can only ask for help.
"Is this the first great sword you made?" Garden took the great sword from Abel's hand, looked at it carefully, and said in an excited and somewhat hoarse voice: "This is the Bailian Great Sword? My God , this is the Great Sword of Hundred Practices."
Garden has been studying with Master Bentham here for five years, and he can only forge 60 trainings. One hundred trainings has always been Garden's dream.
"Master Abel, you are really a genius." Garden praised sincerely, and then gently stroked the sword with his hand, as if he had found something, flicked the back of the sword with his fingers, and put his ear against the back of the sword. Hear the echo of the great sword.
"It's impossible, how could such a thing happen?"
The performance of this sword is Bailian, but the hardness of the blade is much higher than that of ordinary Bailian swords. Master Bentham will make a Bailian sword every month. These Bailian swords are Harry Castle. One of the sources of wealth, Garden not only watched the masters make swords, but also maintained these Bailian Great Swords, so his familiarity with Bailian Great Swords was much higher than others.
The surface of Abel's great sword is very peculiar, and it is very different from the Bailian great sword that the master usually makes. Garden can't tell what the difference is, but experience tells him that this sword is better than other Bailian swords. Practice the great sword.
To test this, Garden slashed the greatsword almost effortlessly at a block of wood to be used as fuel, sliding the greatsword through cream like a hot knife, silently splitting the block into two pieces.
"How did you make this great sword?" Garden was impatient to know about this sword.
"I just forged according to your guidance, and Master Bentham helped me when I encountered difficulties." Abel explained.
Garden seems to have misunderstood that this sword is so good because Master Bentham helped Abel complete the final part. He couldn't help but secretly make up his mind that he must learn from the master well, so that he can forge such a weapon in the future.
"I have some very good horns in my collection, which just happened to be the handle of the great sword. I will install it for you at night and put it on the scabbard for you. Can this sword stay with me?" Garden thought very much. It's simple, the forging method of this sword is very strange, and it is very beneficial for one's forging level to be able to study it for one night.
This night, Garden did not sleep all night. He installed the sword handle with the best horns, and found a crocodile leather scabbard. After that, he carefully observed this strange great sword against the oil lamp.
In the morning, Garden came to the blacksmith shop with the big sword. He was very surprised by the observation that night. If it wasn't for the fear of ruining Abel's sword, he would have wanted to take this sword and the Bailian in the master's warehouse. Slash with the sword.
"Garden, what's wrong with you?" Master Bentham couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Garden with red eyes. How could Garden, an honest man, seem to have not slept all night.
"Master, I don't understand the sword you made for Abel. I thought about it last night." Touching his head, Garden looked at Master Bentham a little embarrassedly, wondering if he was too stupid.
Master Bentham took the big sword, and while drawing it out, he said, "This is the big sword that Abel forged yesterday. I just instructed him the day before yesterday on how to train Bailian rough. When you reach the bottleneck of 80 training, I'll teach you that too."
"This is the big sword, the one forged by Abel?" Master Bentham was also a little surprised. The master's experience is much higher than that of Garden. The technology contained in this big sword can be said to be a family's The secret technique, the secret technique that improves the hardness and sharpness of the weapon, although the master of this secret technique is very tempted, but he knows that the secret technique of spying on a family is to form a deadly vengeance with that family, no matter if the secret technique belongs to the Harry family. , or the Bennett family.
No wonder Abel asked to use a separate operation room yesterday. It turned out that Abel was going to use the family secret technique to refine the great sword, which can understand Abel's behavior.
Master Bentham warned Garden not to ask Abel about this, as if it never happened.
