Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"If our interests and property are damaged because of your unruly behavior, you will pay a heavy price for it. Everyone remember my words."

Afterwards, Master Gu said a lot of rules.

After introducing the rules, Master Gu began to give instructions.

"You, you, you guys..."

He picked a few blacksmiths who were a little stronger, and continued: "Go over there, add coal to the boiler, turn the bellows, and someone will teach you how to do it."

Since Tie Kui was also tall and strong, he happened to be chosen.

"Loading coal? Turning the bellows?"

He was stunned.

Did you hear me right? !

He actually let him, the majestic chief forging master of Leizhou, do the hard work!

"Wait a moment!"

Tie Kui frowned and shouted, "I have something to say!"

"Say!" Master Gu said impatiently.

"Can't you just find someone to do this kind of thing?"

Tie Kui said with displeasure: "I'm a master blacksmith. What I'm good at is how to make excellent armor, rather than doing this kind of coolie work without any technical content."

"Yo?"

Master Gu chuckled, and said, "You're quite confident! If that's the case, then I'll give you a chance to temper the iron!"

Hardened iron?

Do you mean strike iron?

A trace of doubt flashed in Tie Kui's eyes.

If you want to cast weapons, you must burn the iron red, and then beat it repeatedly to remove the impurities and cast a good weapon.

For this, he is very good.

Therefore, Tie Kui nodded and said: "Okay, then I will show you my skills, study hard, and watch!"

"Master Tie, let these bumpkins in Qiongzhou see what a real casting master is!"

"That's right, it's too bullying, it doesn't treat us as human beings!"

"They must be taught a lesson!"

A group of Leizhou blacksmiths said indignantly.

"Oh, what a scary person who has never seen the world!"

Master Gu sighed, and said with a sigh of relief: "I think back then, I was so rude..."

"Let's go!"

Afterwards, Master Gu led the crowd past several machine tools and came to a medium-sized stove.

"Ok?"

Seeing Master Gu stop, Tie Kui immediately understood that this was the destination.

Looking around, his eyes were full of doubts.

"Where's the blacksmith's bench?"

Tie Kui asked suspiciously: "Also, should there be a hammer?"

"We don't need these tools here."

The corner of Master Gu's mouth curled up, then he picked up a huge iron clip and threw it in front of Tie Kui.

"This is the tool you will use."

"what?"

Tie Kui was stunned.

The clamp on the ground was thicker than his arm.

He understood that this was a tool for clamping iron.

But it's so big, how can one hand control it?

And it's thankless.

Before he understood what it meant, suddenly a blacksmith from Qiongzhou opened some mechanism next to the stove in front of him.

Suddenly, a red cuboid iron block slipped from the stove and landed on a flat iron display board.

"Take the clip, hold it, and hold it still."

Master Gu continued to conduct.

Tie Kui was puzzled and didn't know why, but he did it anyway.

Using both hands together, he easily picked up a few kilograms of iron and placed it on the display board to fix it.

"Does this require two people to work together?"

"Such a small piece of iron needs two people, hehe..."

The Leizhou blacksmith who was watching suddenly laughed.

"Yeah, if I come to temper, with a hammer in one hand and a clamp in the other, one person is enough."

"Qiongzhou's casting technology is only at this level. How dare you look down on our Iron Master? It's ridiculous!"

Just when everyone was laughing wantonly, Master Gu shouted: "Let's start!"

Then the Qiongzhou blacksmith next to the stove turned on some switch, and suddenly a huge hammer smashed down on the iron block.

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, sparks flew, and the iron block was slightly deformed instantly.

A huge shock came, and Tie Kui almost couldn't hold the clip.

Before he came back to his senses, the huge hammer was slowly lifted up and then dropped down again.

"Boom!"

This time, the clip in Tie Kui's hand came out.

He took a few steps back with a look of shock on his face.

"Is this how you tempered?!"

Chapter 363: One pot of merit becomes ten thousand lamps withered, and after thousands of tempering, it becomes gold

Beside the stove, all Leizhou blacksmiths fell silent.

With shock in their eyes, they stared blankly at the huge hammer that kept rising and falling in front of them.

There was a series of gasping sounds in the air.

"I'm not dreaming, am I? This hammer must weigh several hundred catties at least? How can it move?"

"Are there any Tibetans in the back? There aren't four or five people, so you can't lift the hammer at all!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't there a stove behind this? Where did they come from?"

"The point is, it's fine to mention it, why can you keep hitting it repeatedly?"

Everyone was stunned by the automatically striking giant hammer in front of them.

There are many blacksmiths present, and they all understand a truth.

One lamp becomes dry, and thousands of tempers become gold.

If you want to forge a good weapon, you must temper it with good iron, which requires repeated beating.

A piece of iron as big as in front of me, if it were them, it would take a long time to beat the piece of iron to deform it.

This is because manpower is limited, so it can only be made up in terms of time.

But now, the piece of iron in front of him has been severely deformed after only being hit twice.

So efficient, more than a hundred times faster than them!

Therefore, the more knowledgeable people are, the more shocked they are after seeing this scene with their own eyes.

Tie Kui is naturally the same.

He looked at the huge hammer that was constantly rising and falling in front of him, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"This thing...how on earth did you make it move?"

"Aren't you a blacksmith master? You don't know this? Have you never heard of steam power?" Master Gu said with a playful face.

"Steam power?"

Tie Kui looked bewildered.

what is this?

All the Leizhou blacksmiths also had question marks on their faces.

They have never heard of this term.

"Don't you understand? Even if you tell me, you can't understand!"

Master Gu said disdainfully: "You just need to stand here, adjust the direction with the iron block in between, and let it bear the force evenly. Anyone can do it."

Speaking of this, he shook his head slowly: "But I never thought that the dignified chief blacksmith of Leizhou could not even do such a simple thing well. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Hmph! Who said I couldn't do it?"

Tie Kui snorted coldly, picked up the clip from the ground, and continued working.

As the iron block continued to deform under the giant hammer, Tie Kui only felt that every blow hit his heart, and he felt an indescribable sense of joy.

"If you continue to beat like this, the quality of this iron..."

He stared closely at the iron block in front of him, feeling an inexplicable expectation in his heart.

The same is true for the Leizhou blacksmith next to him.

As usual, if they want to forge an excellent weapon, they need to work for a few days.

Among them, only tempering took up [-]% of the time.

But now, they can easily tell that the quality of the piece of iron in front of them has reached the effect of their busy work all day in just a dozen breaths of tempering.

I don't know how long has passed.

Tie Kui was already sweating because he was so close.

But he is getting more and more energetic, and there seems to be a bright light in his eyes.

"Enough! Enough!"

Suddenly, Tie Kui shouted excitedly: "Refined iron! This has reached the level of refined iron! It can't go on any longer, otherwise its quality will be damaged!"

At this time, the red-hot iron block had gradually turned black.

However, Master Gu said expressionlessly: "The temperature is not enough, continue to burn red."

"enough!"

Tie Kui said tremblingly: "If you give me this piece of iron, I will definitely be able to forge a magic weapon!"

Master Gu frowned and said, "Come on! Where is this going? You haven't even met the qualification standard, continue!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Tie Kui and the rest of the Leizhou blacksmiths were stunned.

"What do you mean it didn't even meet the qualification standard? This is obviously high-quality refined iron. Such a small piece is worth ten gold!"

"That's right, do you Qiongzhou understand tempering or not? Ordinary pig iron can be tempered to the limit here. If you continue to beat it, although it is possible to improve the quality, there is also a great risk of damage."

"That's right, the gain outweighs the gain! It's better to stop here and let Master Iron start to forge a peerless weapon. It will also open our eyes."
