Chapter 54 Ge's Embroidered Spring Knife

Ge Xiaohua created a Miao knife, but because of the failure of quenching and insufficient steelness, it broke. The Miao knife's length is about 1.6 meters. The slender blade body makes Miao knife invincible in the battle between horses and stairs, and the attack distance is not weaker than that of a long spear. It was a favorite of cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, but the blade body is always flat. How to achieve both hardness and softness under huge force strikes is a key process of Miao knife. Such a long knife can make achievements in actual combat, which shows that this aspect has been solved, but it has been lost now.

"There is no breakthrough!" Ge Xiaohua shook his head and threw the failed seedling knife into the scrap iron pile. His scrap iron pile is of particular importance. On the left is ordinary pig iron material and on the right is fine iron. Obviously, the pile on the left is a little piled. Ge Xiaohua used some of the fine iron on the right and melted it into anvil. He also planned to use the remaining waste fine iron material to make hammers, pliers and other iron scheduling tools. With the attribute bonus of the light anvil, Ge Xiaohua knew that the quality of the melted fine iron was still good.

"I asked these scrap iron for 50 cents per catty in the county town, so I might as well keep it for you." Ge Xiaohua's iron-making skills are gradually improving, and the blacksmith's level has reached lv3. Although it is a distance from lv4, the loss of these scrap irons to be sold to scrap stations will be very serious and he is reluctant to let it go. Therefore, you can try to build some agricultural tools, commonly used iron tools, etc. As long as you are not used to forge cold weapons, the effect is almost okay. The superb technology can cover up the weakness of the material. Ge Xiaohua still has this confidence.

At first, Ge Xiaohua did not use these scrap iron, and considering the reputation of Ge's blacksmith shop, the reputation of the early stage is still very important. In addition, the technology is not very good, so he can only carefully select the raw materials. In addition, Ge's blacksmith shop rarely uses scrap iron forged, so Ge ​​Xiaohua has accumulated so much scrap iron, all of which are failed products. Similar to pottery, many pottery factories and red brick factories will have a large number of discarded defective products. Unfortunately, these are unusable and can only be used as garbage. One of the benefits of ironmaking is that defective products can be reused and thrown into the furnace to reduce waste of resources.

Ge Xiaohua knew that these scrap iron would not be wasted, and it was also considered a "strategic reserve" of the blacksmith shop. It can still be used when creating some states that require a large amount of pig iron. After all, the quality of these irons can be guaranteed. As long as you do not create cold weapons with higher material requirements, it will not have much impact.

"It doesn't make any more effort. Miaodao can be given up. Without researching the advanced creation process of Miaodao, you should not waste time on failed products. You can change your thinking." Ge Xiaohua's control of forging a blade with a thickness of more than 1.6 meters is still weaker. It may be because the construction method is wrong, or something unexpected happens during quenching. No matter what, Ge Xiaohua, who has some problems in creating a qualified Miaodao, considers that the time is very urgent, he is preparing to attend the Hong Kong Cold Weapon Exhibition and Exchange Conference. Ge Xiaohua represents the Ge blacksmith shop, so he has to change the type of knife. Miaodao can be studied later, and there is no rush.

Touching the green anvil, Ge Xiaohua saw the half-human-high anvil seeping out of the emerald green light. Ge Xiaohua suddenly felt full of strength, and the shadow of failure swept away, and the prototype of a knife appeared in his mind, thinking of creating it immediately.

"Is this the effect of the newly-made anvil? Will the blacksmith's heart arouse the mood of thrusting the iron?" Ge Xiaohua thought for a while, but he did not stop the tool in his hand. He took a piece of fine iron and threw it into the stove for heating. It burned red. He clamped it with pliers and beat the anvil with shaping. The temperature cooled, and threw it into the stove for heating to create a suitable blade.

"It's too hot!" Ge Xiaohua took off his sweatshirt and exposed his strong muscles. He just put on a leather apron and a bib that was above the knee to prevent iron flowers from sputtering onto his body.

The perfect body shape is hit by hammers. Ge Xiaohua is always next to the stove and comes with a heating system. Sweat evaporates fat, so there is no impact of obesity. High physical exercise has improved Ge Xiaohua's physical fitness a lot, which is a world of difference compared to before.

But there is also one thing, that is, occupational sequelae, such as back pain and respiratory tract impact.

The back pain is because I often stand and beat the iron tool. If I repeat it, I will pull the waist up. On the other hand, I will have respiratory diseases due to dust, carbon dioxide, etc. caused by burning charcoal, as well as the impact of the working environment.

Ge Xiaohua also noticed this aspect. His study with Shande Dong Medical Clinic allowed Ge Xiaohua not only learned some knowledge of medicinal materials, but also gained some understanding of health care, maintenance, and body prevention. So when he had time, he would pick some medicinal materials, explain the situation to Dr. Liang, prescribe medicine patches, etc., and he should not only treat it when it is serious.

Every profession is not easy, and you may get occupational diseases, so Ge ​​Xiaohua is not spared. His advantage is that he has learned some basic drug knowledge and first understands the theory of Dong medicine, the six natures and six tastes, and the core five-in-one idea.

Occupational diseases need to be diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, but at this moment, with a high concentration of attention, Ge Xiaohua's iron-smashing movements were smooth and he did every step very perfectly, without being affected by the previous effect. The attribute bonus generated by the anvil felt so deep for the first time.

The rhythmic sound of iron slashing came from the blacksmith shop. The villagers passing by were amazed and commented, thinking that Ge Xiaohua was so capable at a young age. With such diligent iron slashing, the future of the Ge family blacksmith shop is still very bright. The most important thing is that a college student goes to make a blacksmith shop. It is really strange. In addition to the rare blacksmiths now, the label of college students has also attracted a lot of attention.

"I succeeded!" Ge Xiaohua heard a wild laugh. This was the first time he was so happy. He had failed many times and had succeeded. It was normal for joy, but he would not lose his composure. It was the knife he created, not the Miao knife, nor the mainstream tool type that he could see now.

It is an almost original tool, and it is close to the legendary knife. The knife he created combines the production technology of excellent knives such as Miao sword, samurai sword, and Tang sword. It is unique and has great ornamental value. It took a day to build the main body of the knife and spend another day decorating the handle and scabbard. As a blacksmith, he still has to do this kind of handicraft part-time job. Fortunately, with previous experience, Ge Xiaohua has a little bit of inlay, carpentry, carving, etc., and at least he can do it.

"Embroidered Chunjian?" Ge Xiaohua finished the outfit of the knife and compared the embroidered Chunjian pictures simulated online. He found that they were very similar to the one above, but there were also differences.

The Xiuchun Sword is an exclusive weapon of the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty. Its status and identity can be seen. It is a weapon representing a high-level profession. However, the Xiuchun Sword has not been unearthed in the true sense. It is just some historical records and drawings, so let alone the production process.

The knife Ge Xiaohua worked hard to create was actually an embroidered spring sword, which was beyond his estimate. However, this Ge family embroidered spring sword is still qualified to participate in the exhibition and is very representative.
