Chapter 229 The Lancet
Ge Xiaohua was a little worried when he saw Yuji Yamamoto's spirits. During the battle, he said, "Yamamoto, please cheer up, otherwise I won't feel fulfilled if I win."
Yuji Yamamoto's eyes lit up in vain, as if he was inspired by Ge Xiaohua. He suddenly became energetic, cleared some of his own concerns and focused on dealing with the next game.
"Ge Jun, I won't let you down!" Yuji Yamamoto planned to show his strength after losing the American competition during this period. Moreover, when he went to China that time, he not only participated in the program of Xiangnan TV, but also visited some Chinese forging families. Although it was very hard, he also gained some. Through his own summary, he learned new forging methods.
"That's the case!" Ge Xiaohua didn't want Yamamoto Yuji to compete with a negative state, so there was nothing to say if he won. Although he had a winning attitude towards this game, he had to win the other party in other people's territory.
The two men adjusted their condition, but Ge Xiaohua did not move. Instead, he saw that Yuji Yamamoto's forging method seemed to have changed a little. The steel he chose was different from usual, and the frequency of folding and forging was also very different.
"Yoji Yamamoto forged a samurai sword? Then what is he creating?" Not only was Ge Xiaohua confused, but even Masaya Yamamoto and some VIPs were a little confused. Among the invited members of the royal family this time, they were still very high in Japan and prefer to collect swords. They are in their 20s and are a member of the new generation of royal family and a fan of Yuji Yamamoto. They have collected many works by Yuji Yamamoto and are also loyal lovers of Marvel.
"His Excellency Yamamoto, what did Yuji create?"
"Your Highness, from my experience, what he did create is not a samurai sword, but a Chinese sword."
"So why did he build the sword of China?"
"I should have wanted to defeat Ge Xiaohua's country's sword."
Ge Xiaohua looked at it and roughly understood what Yamamoto Yuji meant.
"With the way he is to give him the other person, Yuji Yamamoto learned how I defeated his brother? When he was not familiar with the forging of Chinese swords, he was still too young to cast on such occasions." Ge Xiaohua thought Yuji Yamamoto was a bit too radical. Forging under unfamiliar circumstances was tantamount to making self-interest. Since he knew that Yuji Ge Xiaohua wanted to forge Chinese swords, Ge Xiaohua would not cast Japanese samurai swords.
"What kind of Chinese sword should we build?" Many ancient Chinese cold weapons flashed in Ge Xiaohua's mind. With a long history, cold weapons also developed very rapidly. As a recognized major cold weapons casting power in ancient times, the advanced level of weapons is obvious to all.
However, in modern times, traditional craftsmanship has disappeared, and for the sake of life and reality, many people have given up blacksmithing. After all, not everyone is willing to do the hard-working blacksmithing industry. The gradually declining blacksmithing industry has not emerged, and its influence in the international market has gradually faded. This is why it is difficult for Chinese swords to show their brilliance on the world stage now. In world-class movies and animations, it can be seen that the samurai swords appear much more frequently than Chinese swords. This is the output of culture.
Therefore, Ge Xiaohua has now gone abroad and has the opportunity to show up on many world-class stages, so he must play a role in publicity.
"Yamamoto Yu is not yet in the early stage of his sword formation, and he is still forging. He cannot know what type of Chinese sword he wants to build, so I will also win by surprise." Ge Xiaohua thought about it and planned to build the lancet. The knives commonly used by soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were similar to willow leaves, so they got their name.
The difference between it and the goose feather knife is that the body of the willow blade has a width, while the goose feather knife is first-class straight blade and has a reverse blade. The tip of the knife has a curve and looks like a goose feather.
These two swords belonged to the most common weapon types in the Ming Dynasty. The Lancet cavalry and infantry were equipped. Compared with the Yanling sword, it had stronger cutting power and gentle curves along the blade. The blade body was wide and light. Now it has become the same as a martial arts sword in modern times, but the real Lancet is not so thin.
The lancet made by Ge Xiaohua is different from the martial arts knife. It is a practical and artistic lancet!
It can be hard, soft, chopped, chopped, and cut. To create a lancet of this level, there are great requirements for the blade body. Therefore, Ge Xiaohua spent a lot of effort when forging. Half of the day had passed when the blade embryo met Ge Xiaohua's requirements, and Ge Xiaohua was still in the stage of the blade embryo.
"Yoji Yamamoto is actually creating a Tang sword!" Ge Xiaohua saw the Chinese sword style forged by Yuji Yamamoto. It turned out that he was defeated by Ge Xiaohua's snowy Tang sword last time. Yuji Yamamoto has been painstakingly studying the making of Tang swords. With his understanding of Japanese samurai swords, he also has this confidence in building Tang swords. After all, the two have something in common.
"It seems that this Tang sword is well-made, and it has an advantage over the details I created. It is worthy of being a Japanese sword forging master." Ge Xiaohua sincerely exclaimed that attaching importance to the enemy and not despising it is Ge Xiaohua's advantage. Knowing Yamamoto Yuji's strategy, Ge Xiaohua stepped up the forging, completed the production of the knife embryo, and Ge Xiaohua quenched it, and spent a lot of effort on the quenching.
"Spit!" Seeing the temperature, when the flame changed from red to blue, reaching 2,800 degrees Celsius, Ge Xiaohua knew that the time for quenching was up, so he clamped the knife embryo and put it in the pool for quenching.
The quenched knife embryo has the requirements for bending amplitude, forming extremely strong cutting force, and the heat-treated knife embryo is both rigid and soft, and can create many possibilities under the use of experts.
"The knife embryo has been completed, and it has reached the level of being soft or strong. Is it the willow leaves floating in the wind?" Ge Xiaohua used his pliers to fiddle with the knife embryo, and the sound of the blade sounded, which showed that the blade was indeed as thin as a cicada's wing.
But this is just an illusion. When fighting, the blade body is as strong as it is, which is somewhat similar to a non-Newtonian body.
After the knife embryo is finished, Ge Xiaohua is making scabbards and hilts. These are all things to be made. A good weapon should be available. You should not cut corners just because it is a competition. And half a day is enough to complete the subsequent things. Of course, in terms of polishing, Ge Xiaohua will not fall behind. With the assistance of machinery, if you use hand polishing, the time will take dozens of times, and using machinery will improve a lot, greatly improving efficiency.
This is also a commonly used grinding method during competitions. If you use whetstone, it is estimated that it will take more than a month to polish a tool with Yudai Yamamoto's efficiency. Although it is better than mechanical polishing, the gap will not be too big in this case.
Of course, if you keep striving for excellence, you will naturally be better at polishing the blade with a whetstone. This must be admitted, which can increase the patience and perseverance of the craftsman.
When Ge Xiaohua is fine, he is willing to use grinding stones to slowly polish it. What he enjoys is the process and exercises his mood. Now Ge Xiaohua is still very skillful in using machinery for competitions. It is more reasonable to improve efficiency without enjoying the artistic essence of hand-forged cold weapons.
Three days passed quickly. Ge Xiaohua challenged Korean sword forging master Li Zhongwen, Japanese sword forging master Yuda Yamamoto and Yuji Yamamoto. Now that he has reached this level of Yuji Yamamoto, whether he can rush over to challenge Masaya Yamamoto depends on today's comments.
