Chapter 325 Vibration Forging Method
……

Time passes day by day.

With the issuance of the imperial examination decree, more and more people from all over the country came to Chang'an.

During this period, many incidents naturally occurred.

For example, the obstruction and counterattack of powerful families...

The social system of the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the previous dynasty and had continued for a thousand years from top to bottom.

As the saying goes, "Every radish has its own hole."

Class positions have long been divided up.

Anyone with common sense and common sense would immediately see the problems hidden in the imperial examination decree issued by the court.

The number of official positions in the imperial court is limited. How can so many people be recruited out of thin air and all of them be granted official positions? Where do all these positions come from?

Should we dismiss all the existing officials?

The key point is that this imperial examination not only tested candidates on the Four Books and Five Classics and recruited learned scholars, but also added an assessment of unusual skills and crafts, which could be participated in by anyone with a special skill.

Therefore, in addition to the powerful families who had always occupied positions in the imperial court, even the artisans in the Ministry of Works and the supervisory departments of the court were dissatisfied.

Their craftsmanship has always been passed down from father to son, generation after generation. The court's move is tantamount to cutting off their livelihood.

Therefore, Chang'an City is now 'extraordinarily bustling'!
But before the actual day arrived, Wu Wen hardly got involved in any affairs.

These are trivial matters and are not enough to trouble him.

As for the concerns these people have, Wu Wen could only laugh at their ignorance.

When he usheres in a new era, the so-called dynastic order will be shattered instantly, and a new order will emerge.

At that time, those who occupy those positions today will find that what they possess has become worthless.

Wu Wen's behavior is what is known as "destruction before construction".

Break the old pot and reshape it into a new one!
—

Soon, the day of the imperial examination arrived.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, they arrived at the examination hall prepared by the imperial court.

These people came from all walks of life, dressed in all sorts of strange and wonderful ways, as if they represented all the people in the Tang Dynasty.

However, when they arrived at their destination, they were all puzzled.

Because the examination venue prepared by the imperial court was neither in the Gongyuan (Imperial Examination Hall) nor in any other conventional examination location.

Instead, it was set up in the inner garden of the imperial palace, the training ground where Li Shimin usually trained his soldiers.

Unlike other emperors, Li Shimin continued to personally train his soldiers even after becoming emperor.

Inside his palace, there was a training ground specifically for training soldiers.

Li Shimin would personally instruct his soldiers in archery and horsemanship to cultivate their martial spirit.

But today, all the facilities, such as the straw targets and archery targets that were originally used for soldier training, have disappeared from this inner training ground.

Instead, a towering iron tower, three zhang tall, stood in the very center.

All the people who came for the scientific expedition were led to the front of the iron tower by the soldiers maintaining order around them.

Looking at the strange surroundings, everyone started discussing it.

"This is the royal palace!"

"Isn't the imperial court going to hold unconventional imperial examinations to select talent? Why did they bring us here?"

"I don't know either?"

"Look first and then talk!"

What is this iron tower used for?

"I don't know..."

"..."

Sudden.

at this time.

Everyone felt that the sky was getting brighter and brighter.

They looked up and saw that the sun overhead seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the bright sunlight made it hard for them to open their eyes.

Immediately, the sunlight shining down from the sky became streaks, illuminating everyone's eyes.

Just as everyone was wondering about this strange scene, Li Shimin's figure appeared in the light screen.

He floated in mid-air, his size increasing tenfold, and with his majestic aura, he looked like a god descending to earth.

"I am the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty!"

With a loud bang, Li Shimin's voice instantly echoed in everyone's ears.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty truly is the Son of Heaven!"

"A true dragon has descended!"

"..."

This miraculous event made the already supreme image of the emperor in the hearts of the people even more glorious.

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, everyone bowed down in worship.

This harvest of faith power once again proves that the emperor has always been the supreme being in the hearts of all the people.

"Rise!"

Li Shimin raised his hand slightly and spoke.

But no one dared to stand up directly; instead, they simply looked up at the emperor with reverence. "This time, I am holding the imperial examination to select the most talented people in the land, without regard to birth or age."

Aside from literary talent, as long as you possess a skill that can be of use to me, I will grant you official positions to serve the court.

With that, Li Shimin raised his arm and waved it.

Everyone felt a sudden, blinding light before their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a private examination room.

Inside were the tools and materials they were good at.

"You need not be alarmed!"

"This place is the 'Illusory Realm of the Great Void,' a testing ground that I specially built for you all."

"You may all give full play to your talents."

"After it's over, I will give you a score."

With Li Shimin's reassuring and explanatory voice, everyone's tense mood calmed down slightly.

Then, they carefully began testing.

Some people showcase their talent through writing; some demonstrate their forging skills by forging ironware; some demonstrate their ancestral recipes by brewing medicinal herbs; and some even showcase their unique life skills...

Under this wave of tests.

Wu Wen's virtual space has truly yielded abundant results.

Although the technical information he collected from these people consisted of only minor, ingenious skills and tricks.

But these are all things that have been passed down through generations of their ancestors through experience.

In a sense, these seemingly simple yet ingenious techniques are all the people's exploration of the way of nature.

These not only enrich Wu Wen's treasure trove of knowledge, but also provide inspiration for the thought processes behind some of his ingenious ideas.

After some people finished their tests.

Then I immediately found myself looking up.

We returned to the iron tower at the drill ground once again.

"A miracle!"

"Such extraordinary abilities."

"His Majesty is absolutely a reincarnation of the Purple Star, a true Son of Heaven!"

"..."

After experiencing this miraculous test, everyone's respect and admiration for Emperor Li Shimin reached a new level.

……

"What kind of forging method is this?"

"It seems to be the lost 'Chu State Forging Technique'!"

in virtual space.

Wu Wen met a young man.

When he demonstrated his forging skills, Wu Wen discovered that his forging methods were very similar to those of the Chu Kingdom.

However, this young man's forging skills seem to be even more advanced than those of the Chu Kingdom!
Wu Wen observed him carefully.

"Good lad, you're quite clever!"

Wu Wen discovered that, under normal circumstances, this young man would not be able to demonstrate such advanced forging techniques.

But this young man is indeed clever. Others, after entering this virtual space, are limited by their cognitive abilities and can only demonstrate skills that match their own capabilities.

However, this young man discovered that in this virtual space, he could do things beyond his own capabilities, as long as he wanted to!
In other words, even if one has not mastered the skills through rigorous training and hard work.

As long as you understand the principle, you can also demonstrate it in this virtual space.

Therefore, in this virtual space, this young man displayed forging skills far exceeding his actual abilities.

Wu Wen carefully observed his forging process.

His forging method also employed the oscillating forging method.

Vibration forging is a metal plastic processing technology that combines impact force and vibration effect. Its core lies in achieving the optimization and reorganization of the metal microstructure through the vibration waves generated by hammering.

A three-dimensional stress field and elastic oscillation waves are formed inside the material by periodically impacting the metal billet with a hammer.

This oscillation can penetrate the interior of the material, causing dynamic slippage and rearrangement of grain boundaries.

To alter the structure of microscopic particles using macroscopic methods of tempering.

This is only the foundation of the vibration forging method.

What this young man is demonstrating now is a profound application of the vibration forging method.

By constantly hammering, he caused the metal embryo to generate high temperatures from the inside out, thereby activating the metal particles and giving them life.

Continuous oscillations generate standing waves inside the metal, forming a stable oscillation loop, thereby creating a vibrational wave energy field.

Metal particles all have memory properties.

Under constant vibration and forging, the metal particles arrange themselves according to the structure of the vibration waves, thus changing the electromagnetic properties of the metal.

Simply put, it's as if this piece of metal has been given a spiritual quality.

This forging method is like engraving natural patterns into the metal.

If we combine this with the art of talismans...

Then it is a precious material!
