Chapter 118 Let’s Call It ‘Steel’
The barrier opened, and the crazy high temperature rushed out, and the soil on the nearby ground quickly turned black.
Wearing armor, Huang Mingshan and the others rushed in without hesitation, and directly used a thick shovel to transfer the molten iron floating on the barrier into the simple mold.
This time, it was just to verify the processing results of Xuantie, and the molds were very simple. Casting products are mainly thick iron plates, thick-backed swords, hammers, chisels and other relatively clumsy things. These materials are marked as 'Grade A'.
Huang Mingshan and the others retreated after finishing their work, waiting for the black iron to cool down.
In the enchantment next to it, the aura is still tumbling, without any further changes. As time went by, the aura gradually seeped out from the barrier and dissipated little by little.
Zhang Hao thought deeply: "It seems that the enchantment is not able to completely isolate the spiritual energy. After a certain level, it will gradually dissipate. Huang Mingshan, open a corner of the formation and disperse the spiritual energy."
The spiritual energy of more than five million spirit stones seems to be wasted.
But when the hot and tumbling spiritual energy rushed out, the spiritual energy cooled down rapidly, and the thick spiritual energy suddenly became extremely viscous and radiant.
Zhang Hao suddenly felt refreshed. Taking a deep breath, he felt that the aura was more active than ever before, and taking a breath, he could faintly feel the progress of his cultivation.
"This... this... If I practice in such an environment, I can reach the Nascent Soul Stage within a year! And I don't even need pills!" Zhang Shengye was a little incoherent.
Zhang Shengde was relatively calm, he felt it carefully, and shook his head: "It's not that simple. I think those who live in the paradise can enjoy this kind of practice every day, but they may not all become Nascent Souls, and they still need pills .
Practice requires comprehension, and the barriers and bottlenecks in the body also need to be broken through with the help of pills. Some medicinal properties cannot be replaced by aura.
But...it should be able to replace the cultivation pills such as Peiyuan Pill. It's just that creating such an environment will be more expensive than pills! "
"Eh..." Zhang Shengye chuckled and stopped talking.
Looking at the tumbling aura, Zhang Hao had some thoughts: "Father, if we can confine this kind of aura to a small area, maybe we can create a blessed place and promote the rapid growth of the family.
Now that pills are in short supply and the trade route is blocked, since there are ways to reduce the demand for pills, they should be tried. "
Zhang Shengde thought for a moment, then nodded immediately. "When Huang Mingshan and the others have free time, they will study and arrange a practice space like this."
"Okay." Zhang Hao nodded.
The aura in the barrier gradually dissipated, the temperature also dropped, and molten iron was also seen in the barrier. Huang Mingshan and the others were busy again. Although they knew that this place should fail, they were still meticulously busy. However, these materials are marked as 'B class'.
After that, it was just waiting, waiting for the black iron to cool down.
Some dark irons are cooled naturally; some are slightly solidified, and then they are taken out for forging; some are directly quenched.
Zhang Hao waited here, but Huang Mingshan and the others were busy without touching the ground. Although they didn't sleep all night, everyone was full of energy.
Until the afternoon, all the black irons were finally processed.
This time, about two tons of black iron were used for the experiment, and various kinds of black iron with different purity were used; however, during the experiment, all the black iron melted together.
After cooling down, Huang Mingshan and others began to experiment. The most direct way to test materials is—destruction!
Huang Mingshan and the others took Pin's magical weapon sword first, and poked all the items once, and there was a constant clanging sound; the efficiency was very fast. A batch of naturally cooled second-class iron plates, articles, etc., were eliminated.
However, the sword that was stabbing at the first-class object unexpectedly curled or broke.
Zhang Hao's eyes brightened—although it was only the first test, Zhang Hao had already seen success.
Huang Mingshan and the others were meticulous, and continued to poke with middle-grade magic weapons; another batch of second-class ones were eliminated; the first-class ones were still safe and sound.
Then replace it with a high-grade magic weapon, and continue to poke, poke, poke...
Time slipped away little by little, when Huang Mingshan poked the naturally cooled first-class item with a middle-grade magic weapon, a dent finally appeared. But those forged and quenched ones remained motionless.
It wasn't until Huang Mingshan poked it with a high-grade magic weapon that he finally left a faint trace on the final first-grade material; and the tip of the sword almost broke.
"What a solid black iron!" Zhang Shengde was amazed, and stepped forward to appraise it. But soon frowned. "The ones that have been quenched are integrated into one body, and the true essence can't penetrate them. Only the ones that have been naturally cooled and forged can penetrate the spiritual energy. The purity is between 85% and 86%."
"Let me try it!" Zhang Shengye came to a hardened iron plate to face him, sacrificed his flying sword, and was about to attack.
"Second uncle, don't use your flying sword, it's broken!"
Zhang Shengye was stunned for a moment, and then he picked up a dilapidated magic weapon flying sword from the side, and chopped it hard on a three-inch thick, tempered iron plate.
The iron plates continued to clang and sparks shot out. With the strength of Zhang Shengye's Golden Core Stage and the sharp magic weapon, he couldn't pierce the iron plate.
Zhang Shengye's subordinates did not stop, and suddenly there was a clang, and the flying sword in his hand broke. On the iron plate, there was only a small hole of no more than an inch.
Zhang Shengye picked up the hammer, which was poured with first-grade black iron just now.
A hammer hit the position just now, and the iron plate trembled endlessly. The rock on the ground was broken, and the iron plate was only slightly dented.
Zhang Shengye continued to go crazy, the rock was shattered; tiny cracks gradually appeared on the iron plate.
Zhang Shengye took a deep breath, stood up straight, swung the hammer again, and smashed it down.
With a bang, the steel plate was completely shattered, shattered like ordinary glass.
"Quenched, it is very likely to form a 'vitreous body'." Zhang Hao thought so, still excited in his heart, and said excitedly: "Father, we succeeded, without using different fires, we also obtained top-level magic weapon quality materials, And it is a large iron plate.
Once we figure out the rules, we should be able to build real, indestructible ships! A top magic weapon-level big ship made entirely of black iron!
We did it! "
Zhang Shengde was also excited: "Yes, we succeeded, we succeeded! Rewards, many rewards!"
Turning to look at Zhang Hao again: "I think we should give this new type of black iron a new name."
"Let's call it 'steel'." A gleam flashed in Young Master Zhang's eyes. "The so-called steel is rigid and unyielding. Look at this steel plate. In the end, it would rather be broken than bent."
Looking at the broken 'steel', Zhang Shengde nodded slowly: "Okay, let's call it 'gang iron'."
"It's steel." Zhang Hao wrote the character 'steel' on the ground, "This is a new material, and we should also create a new character. Only in this way can others be impressed."
Zhang Shengde smiled: "Okay, okay, steel, steel. Huang Mingshan, you have been busy all day, go back and rest first."
"Thank you Patriarch, it's just that there are still experiments to be done. Rest after finishing."
Huang Mingshan led the crowd and continued to classify all the materials in detail and record various data. Scientific research requires seriousness, rigor and responsibility.
