Chapter 187 Cold Forging Method

After testing the efficiency of Thousand Refinements Black Iron, Ning Yu then tested the efficiency of Thousand Refinements Sinking Silver.

The good news is that with the shock effect of the Thousand Forged Silver Hammer, his efficiency has been greatly improved.

Ning Yu completed the Thousand Forgings this time in less than half the time as before.

But the bad news is not without it. The forging of Chen Yin is more difficult than that of Xuantie. In other words, Ning Yu is not strong enough now to complete the Thousand Forgings of Chen Yin in a short time. During the forging, the Chen Yin block still has to be put back.

Reheated in the forge.

There are solutions, including reducing the volume of metal, or simply changing the forging furnace to a fully automatic high-tech version.

However, reducing the metal volume is equivalent to reducing Ning Yu's forging efficiency.

Moreover, after the Thousand Forgings, the density of the metal has increased significantly, and the volume will shrink significantly. If the original volume is not large, it will not be enough to make a complete soul guide.

The special effects that appear after the Thousand Forged Metal are not fixed. If the special effects of the Thousand Forged Metal used to create the soul guide are different, there will be defects.

As for fully automatic high-tech stoves, Qibao Glazed Sect has no industrial foundation at all, so the difficulty can be imagined.

Looking at the metal block that was slowly heating up in the forging furnace, the word "cold forging" suddenly flashed through Ning Yu's mind.

Metal can also be forged without heating.

The reason why blacksmiths need to heat the metal before forging it is to soften the metal and make it more ductile, so as to prevent the metal from being too brittle during forging, damaging the internal structure, and causing fractures or defects.

As long as you master the strength of the forging, I believe that it will be no problem for the Overlord to press the bow and start directly with the hammer!

In this way, wouldn't the efficiency of forging be greatly improved?

For example, Ning Yu Qian forging a piece of black iron one foot square can be finished in more than three minutes, but it takes more time than Ning Yu Qian forging to heat a piece of black iron one foot square to a suitable level for forging.

The time is several times longer.

Although this can be done by heating in advance to stagger the waiting time, and multiple forging furnaces can be started at the same time to heat multiple pieces of metal for Ning Yu to forge by one person, this is still troublesome.

In addition, black iron forging is relatively easy to forge, and Ning Yu was able to complete the Thousand Forgings before cooling down.

But similar to metals such as heavy silver and fine gold, Ning Yu cannot complete the Thousand Forgings before cooling, and must undergo repeated heating.

‘Looks like there’s something going on?’

Ning Yu secretly thought about the feasibility of cold forging.

If this method can be achieved, it will be the first of its kind in the industry.

After all, whether it is a blacksmith in Douluo Continent, a blacksmith in Sun Moon Continent, or a forger in later generations, they are all inseparable from the forging furnace.

Unless the blacksmith himself is a high-level fire attribute soul master, he can act as a human-shaped forging furnace and heat the metal by himself.

Immediately, Ning Yu took a piece of dark iron one foot square and moved it directly to the forging platform.

"clang--!"

The Thousand Forged Sinking Silver Hammer landed directly on the unheated black iron block, and the shock force spread instantly, covering the entire block of black iron.

'Weak strength!'

Ning Yu, who had been using his mental power to observe the internal situation of the black iron block, immediately discovered that the force of his hammer was too small. The black iron block was far from damaging the internal structure, so he could increase the force appropriately.

"clang--!"

'It can also be made bigger!'

"clang--!"

'Huh? Can we add more?'

Half a minute later, Ning Yu looked at the black iron that had been forged for hundreds of times on the forging platform with a confused look on his face.

Unheated metal has poor toughness and ductility, and Ning Yu knows this very well.

Moreover, compared to metals such as heavy silver and fine gold, black iron has worse toughness and ductility. It was the first time for cold forging, and he still used the method of working hard to achieve miracles, but it was not broken?

‘Is it because of the special vibration effect of the Thousand Forging Sinking Silver Hammer that the entire dark iron block is completely evenly stressed?’

Ning Yu couldn't help but look at the Thousand-forged Heavy Silver Hammer in his hand.

In the eyes of other blacksmiths, the shock effect is just an ordinary Thousand Forging special effect, but in the eyes of Ning Yu, who 'works miracles with great force', it is the best special effect.

But it seems that with the cold metal forging method, this top-notch special effect has been sublimated into a divine special effect?

Well, if there is such a thing as magical special effects in the forging world.

Ning Yu: Forging furnace? Even a dog doesn’t need this thing!

"Xiaoyu, is the special vibration effect of your thousand-forged silver hammer useful?"

Looking at Ning Yu who was holding a thousand-forged heavy silver hammer and banging it incessantly, Ma Jack asked as he passed by the forging platform.

“Easy to use, very easy to use!”

"Well, as long as it works!"

Majek nodded and looked at the forging platform in front of Ning Yu.

Upon seeing this, Majek immediately discovered something extraordinary.

The dark iron block being forged by Ning Yu on the forging platform is actually black?

The dark iron blocks appear black, which Ma Jack knows very well. After all, he has forged countless dark irons in his life.

But they are all cooled black iron, placed on the forging table, and are still in the process of forging. The color is either red or dark red, and it is absolutely impossible to appear black.

Otherwise, how can you forge when it's completely cold? Don't you know how to strike while the iron is hot?

Glancing at the forging donkey where the fire was not rising, Ma Jack asked Ning Yu with a surprised look on his face: "Xiaoyu, you didn't heat the metal?"

"Well, heating is too troublesome!"

Ning Yu's body kept turning, and a pair of thousand-forged heavy silver hammers in his hands hit the dark iron blocks on the forging platform like a heavy rain.

Majek: "."

Listen, is this human language?

Heating metal is too troublesome, so why don't you become a hammer forger?

No, can you forge the metal without heating it?

Ma Jack was shocked to find that the piece of black iron that Ning Yu was forging was not damaged?

At this moment, a black ray of light rose from the black iron block, Thousand Forged Dark Iron, completed!

Majek: “!!!”

Is it possible to complete Thousand Forgings without heating the metal?

"How is this going?"

Majek asked Ning Yu with a look of horror.

Forging metal without heating is like farmers farming without hoes, which is obviously beyond Majek's understanding.

"This is the method of cold forging!"

Ning Yu stood up with his hammer put away and said calmly.

"Cold forging method?"

"Just forge directly without heating the metal!"

"You created it?"

Majek looked at Ning Yu suspiciously.

"Ahem~, no, I borrowed it from you!"

Ning Yu was embarrassed to say that he created it himself.

Of course, the main person to ask this question is Majek.

There is no point in pretending to be sexy in front of a bald man like Majek.

If it were a pretty young lady, Ning Yu would probably have to shamelessly say that he created it himself.

"Tell me carefully about this cold forging method!"

Majek is very interested in the cold forging method that can be forged without heating.

"Well, Master, it's not that I'm stingy about the cold forging method, but it's just that I don't have anything to say.

I can forge metal using the cold forging method because the special vibration effect of the sinking silver hammer can evenly stress the entire metal without breaking or damaging it.

If there were no shock effects, the level of control over one’s own power would be very high.”

Ning Yu's words are true. The cold forging method can easily crack the metal.

If there is no concussion special effect, it is also feasible to use super strength control level to simulate the concussion special effect.

It's just that those who can control their own power to this extent are basically strong ones.

You know, Douluo Continent today is not the era of armored warriors of later generations.

Blacksmith? That's just a profession that's slightly better than an ordinary farmer, but it's far inferior to a noble soul master.

To be honest, before the birth of Doukai, although the status of blacksmiths was not low, they were still inferior to soul masters and soul masters.

That is to say, the era of armor has arrived in later generations. Top-level battle armor symbolizes top-level combat power, and top-level battle armor requires high-level forging metals. This has caused the blacksmith's status to skyrocket.

Of course, it is not very accurate to say that the status of blacksmiths has skyrocketed. It is mainly due to the masters of the armor era who have either become part-time soul teachers or part-time blacksmiths.

It's like if Tang Chen becomes a blacksmith now, who would dare to say that the blacksmith's status is low in the future? I'll smash your dog's head with a hammer!

As soon as he heard this, Majek gave up his intention of learning the cold forging method.

It's not like he can't make a forging hammer with special vibration effects.

Although the special effects of Thousand Forgings appear randomly, if you have a good base, you will definitely encounter them.

But the shock effect is not suitable for him, and his power control level is not very strong. After learning the cold forging method, the forging efficiency is not as high as hot forging! Naturally, he will not learn it.

"Xiao Yu, you are now good at Thousand Forging Metal, how about I teach you how to engrave soul guidance arrays?"

Sister Ma said to Ning Yu.

If you can only forge metal but cannot make soul tools, you can't be considered a soul engineer, you can only be considered a blacksmith.

"Forget it for now, I plan to wait until my forging level reaches the next level."

After thinking for a moment, Ning Yu didn't plan to learn how to make soul tools now.

The power of a soul guidance device cannot only be judged by its level, but also by the performance of the materials used to make it.

How can a soul guide made of thousand-forged metal compare to a soul guide made of spirit-forged metal at the same level?

Moreover, he himself has to cultivate his soul power, make peaches, and forge metal, but he doesn't have much time to learn how to make soul tools. He will do it later when he has free time.

‘Wait until the forging level reaches the next level’, if other blacksmiths had said this, Majek would definitely think that they were not ready to learn how to make soul tools.

But Ning Yu is different. In less than a day, he can go from a blacksmithing novice to a thousand-forging level. This shows that Ning Yu's talent in blacksmithing is indeed incredible. Maybe he can really figure out the next level of forging method?

"Okay, your forging speed is fast. From now on, you will forge the metal and I will engrave the soul guidance array."

Majek nodded and said.

"Master, I have a few ideas here, let's discuss them!"

He can get the materials, and Ma Jie Ke can get the soul guidance array. In this way, Ning Yu is ready to tinker with some sharp soul guidance tools.

In addition, it is time to start the plan to use soul guides to make money on the mainland.
