He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 11 The Real Oven Method
Zhao Yankui held the rice bowl and looked towards the blacksmith shop. He suddenly asked, "Dong Songchang is back, right?"

"I went to rest after I came back. I haven't seen him for the whole day."

As Qi the blacksmith was talking, he saw Zhao Yankui frowning slightly, and he immediately remembered something, and asked in a slightly lower voice: "Master, are you worried that he will snatch Jiang Lin?"

In addition to regular tests of skills every year, the blacksmith camp also conducts assessments on work assignments.

The master craftsmen in the blacksmith camp are the subjects of assessment.

On this day, we will take stock of how much work you were assigned throughout the year and how well you completed it.

If you complete the task well, you may be promoted. If you complete the task poorly, you may even lose your position as master chef.

Zhao Yankui's work was naturally impeccable. He always completed everything on time and never made any mistakes.

Otherwise, he would not have been listed as a popular candidate for promotion to deputy master craftsman in this year's regular test.

Although Dong Songchang's skills are not as good as Zhao Yankui's, he has many talented people under his command, many of whom were snatched away from Zhao Yankui.

All in all, his completion rate of assigned tasks should be pretty good, and maybe he will compete with Zhao Yankui for the promotion to deputy engineer this year.

Even if he doesn't compete for promotion, Dong Songchang will never let go of a good talent like Jiang Lin since he has seen him.

As his brother-in-law was the deputy chief craftsman of the Linyuan Division, many people were willing to follow Dong Songchang, thinking that if they could have a relationship with a noble in the palace in the future, it would bring honor to the family.

Zhao Yangkui's eyes were somewhat gloomy, and he lost his appetite for a moment.

Blacksmith Qi whispered, "I don't think Jiang Lin will go with him."

"Who knows? We thought we could keep those few before." Zhao Yankui's face darkened and he shook his head, saying, "Forget it, let's not talk about this and just let him go."

At this time, Jiang Lin was holding a small hammer and hitting the red-hot hammer head.

Thanks to the higher accuracy, the hammering skills have been upgraded in almost the blink of an eye.

A warm current flows into the body, and the strength of the body is enhanced again.

It wasn’t very noticeable before, but now that he has been promoted twice, he looks a lot stronger.

The muscles on his arms are clearly visible, and he already has the demeanor of a real blacksmith.

[Skill 2: Tempering Lv3 (Proficiency 0/800)]

[Skill 2: Level 3, improves hammer drop accuracy by %]

After taking a look at the changed information, Jiang Lin found a sledgehammer nearby and tried to hit it a few times.

Finally, it was determined that with the level 3 hammering technique and the level 3 skill of using the hammer like the wind, the accuracy of the hammer dropping could reach at least to percent.

According to this result, as long as we upgrade one more level, we should be able to hit the target 100%.

Eight hundred hammers are not a lot. A busy blacksmith may be able to produce this many hammers in a day.

Jiang Lin was not too happy. This upgrade did not bring much improvement to himself, so he had to keep working hard.

He continued to hold the hammer and kept hitting the hammer head on the anvil.

There are a total of 103 defects distributed in various parts of the hammer body. Even if all of them are hit accurately, it will take 103 hammers.

What's more, Jiang Lin's accuracy is not 100%, and the hammer head has to be re-forged after cooling down, and the time it takes is longer than expected.

After about an hour, Jiang Lin finally stopped hammering. He was sweating profusely, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. All the black spots on the hammer in his field of vision were gone.

【Average quality hammer】

This is the final evaluation. It seems simple, but if you think about it carefully, it is completely different from the previous ones.

When Zhao Yangkui first made the hammer, the prefix was "ordinary", but now the prefix is ​​"average quality".

Looking at the hammer that had shrunk in front of him, Jiang Lin couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be that it has already been refined?"

In the Daqian Dynasty, weapons, armor, bows and crossbows, spears, and even ordinary iron tools were divided into many categories.

Among them, ordinary ironware that is not up to standard is not of high quality.

High-quality ironware that reaches a certain level is divided into nine grades, namely upper, middle and lower. It is said that there are higher grades above them, but ordinary people have no chance to see them. They are all legendary magic weapons.

The hammer in front of him was rated as of average quality, and Jiang Lin was unsure whether it had reached the entry-level level.

After all, he had never seen any quality ironware in the Southern Blacksmith Camp. All he saw were either ordinary or of poor quality.

"Try it and see the effect."

As Jiang Lin spoke, he installed the hammer handle, raised it high, and smashed it hard against the anvil in front of him.

clang--

The sound was duller than usual, like a stone hitting pork, not crisp at all.

But when he saw the small dent on the anvil, Jiang Lin was overjoyed.

An anvil that heavy might not have changed even if it was hit thousands of times with an ordinary hammer, but now a single hammer made a dent the size of a soybean.

This shows that the quality of the hammer is far superior to that of the anvil!
Maybe it will really be accepted!

Jiang Lin glanced at the message out of habit, but was stunned.

In addition to the improvement of hammering proficiency, the most important thing is that in the level 1 furnace method, the speed of collecting gold essence is far beyond imagination.

[Skill 4: Level 1 furnace method, the body is the furnace, the mind is the hammer, gold essence and fire essence are the materials, to forge an indestructible golden body, the current progress is gold essence 8.77/100, fire essence 9.7/100, cannot be upgraded]

If I remember correctly, I only collected 0.18 of the gold essence before reforging the hammer.

According to the previous calculation that one hammer could collect 0.01 gold essence, after hitting more than a hundred times, he could only collect a little over 1 gold essence at most.

But now, the amount of gold essence collected has reached 8.77, which is several times more than expected!
Looking at the hammer with bright metallic luster in his hand, Jiang Lin muttered to himself: "Is it because the quality of this hammer has reached the entry level? So the speed of practicing the furnace method is much faster than normal."

It is not impossible. According to Zhao Yankui and others, the higher the casting quality, the more useful the furnace baking method will be.

One hammer of ordinary iron contains only 0.01 gold essence. Jiang Lin did not participate in the casting personally, but he eliminated the remaining defects in the later stage and improved the quality of the castings, thus collecting nearly eight times the amount.

No wonder ordinary blacksmiths look down on the furnace baking method. They do not have the ability to cast objects above the upper grade, and of course they cannot appreciate the benefits of the furnace baking method.

Jiang Lin slowly turned his head and looked at the other pieces of ironware whose defects had not yet been corrected, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

If the defects of these iron tools were eliminated, wouldn’t it be possible to collect 100 gold essences very quickly?
