Chapter 26 Skill Upgrade

With that, Li Zhenhua walked to the pile of knives and took out five.

When he arrived at the sand belt machine, five knives were clipped to the clamp in turn.

As the two of them watched, Li Zhenhua turned on the sand belt machine. The motor turned at high speed, causing the sand belt to rub against the surface of the knife.

Soon, the clamp was pushed to the limit. Li Zhenhua knew that one side of the blade had already been completed.

Removing the clamp entirely from its base, turning it over, he ground it once more on the sandbelt machine.

When Li Zhenhua took down all the knives from the belt machine,

The edges of the five knives were all polished. After Li Zhenhua’s eyes checked, their errors were all within control.

These five knives that had already been sharpened were a very meaningful witness to Li Zhenhua.

This proved that the clamp he had made was indeed useful, and he did not have to waste his time on this process of opening the blade.

“Guoba, I’ll leave the work of opening the blade to you. Open the blade and let Liu Xiaodong be in charge of the rough grinding. I’ll use sandpaper with high eyesight to sharpen the blade.

We strive to get all the knives to the final acid wash within the next three days.”

After Li Zhenhua made the arrangements, the three of them began to do their own work.

Three days passed in a flash. All the table knives that had been polished by 1,200 grit of sandpaper were placed on the felt cloth by the three of them, waiting for the final process.

The remaining acid wash was the simplest procedure. As long as the acid wash solution was configured,

He switched on the 24V power. No one had to interfere. He just had to look at the time and fish the knife out when it was time.

Li Zhenhua and the others bought the raw materials at the beginning and finally forged 1,316 knives.

In addition to these finished products, there were 103 defective products.

Guo Shugui’s eyes were all attracted by the finished knife, while Liu Xiaodong was looking at the defective product in a daze.

“Hua Zi, this knife is simply too beautiful. I feel that the price you set previously was a little low. I’ve profited greatly this time.”

Thousands of knives were placed together, and the blades reflected the cold light under the sun. This scene was still very shocking.

“Hua Zi, these knives are all mine.”

Guo Shugui looked at the knives and hurriedly swore sovereignty over them, afraid that others would snatch them away.

After Liu Xiaodong heard Guo Shugui’s words, he also interrupted.

“No one is snatching it from you. Look at how eager you are.

Hmph, now the one you need to curry favor with the blacksmith beside you the most,

“As long as he’s around, you can have as many of these knives as you want, right?”

Guo Shugui quickly reacted when he heard Liu Xiaodong’s words.

She hurriedly ran to Li Zhenhua’s side and fawned over him.

However, Li Zhenhua was indeed ignoring the two of them. Instead, he had just received a message in his mind.

‘Ingenuity (centimillimetre) Brother Brain said, I know how to do it;

Brother Eye said, “This is too simple. I understand everything.”

Brother Hand said, “It’s a piece of cake. I can make them all.”

{Proficiency: 1137/100,000. Upgrade conditions unknown. Please continue to explore.}

After receiving this message, Li Zhenhua was very excited.

He would have jumped to his feet if two other people hadn’t been there.

After working hard for half a month, his skill was finally upgraded.

He saw the level name at the back of the skill, centimillimetre.

This unit of length is not used much in our daily lives, and is often used only in places such as factories,

In the factory, the difference between positive and negative was five filaments. The filament in the middle was centimillimetre, and the strip and path also referred to centimillimetre.

The conversion between a millimeter and each unit was that one millimeter was equal to ten filaments, equal to 100 centimillimetre, equal to 1,000 microns.

However, Li Zhenhua was a little puzzled. He originally thought that the next level was decimillimetre.

Now this was good. It went past the decimillimetre and straight to the centimillimetre.

Li Zhenhua thought about this level himself. He guessed that this might have something to do with the abolition of the decimillimetre in the year 4681 of the Yellow Emperor calendar.

After microns in the international scale, decimillimetre and centimillimetre were not included in the international unit system anymore.

They were only complementary to the units of length. Officially, they were not used in the case of decimillimetre and centimillimetre.

Perhaps the system felt that it was a little too much to directly do it to the micron level, and the decimillimetre was abolished.

On the other hand, the centimillimetre could still be used in life, so this level was added.

This level could be compared to Li Zhenhua’s current level.

This was not a small improvement. It directly increased the accuracy by a hundred times.

With this precision, ordinary processing could not stump Li Zhenhua at all.

Guo Shugui and Liu Xiaodong had been fantasizing about the potential value of this saber in the future, but they had forgotten.

Eventhough this saber was forged by Li Zhenhua, there was still a lot of it. There were more than a thousand sabers. Moreover, it was up to Li Zhenhua how many more sabers he would make in the future.

After Li Zhenhua finished upgrading his skill, he began to plan.

He thought that it was time for him to forge a saber for the competition.

“Guoba, Fatty, don’t chat for now. Fatty, go and drive the pickup truck to the door.

As for you, Guoba, give your family’s procurement side a call. We’ll go straight to you to procure it later.”

Li Zhenhua looked at the table knives he had made. They were all piled up in his house. This was nothing!

In that case, it was better to let Guo Shugui take all the knives away now.

When Guo Shugui heard Li Zhenhua say this, he also knew that he should send the knife to his company as soon as possible. This way, he would not be afraid that someone would intercept him later.

Even though no one was fighting with him now, no one could say for sure what would happen after that.

The pickup truck drove to the entrance of the blacksmith shop. Li Zhenhua and Guo Shugui each carried a large box and walked out.

He came to the wall pickup and placed the box in his hand in the cargo hold behind it.

The three of them worked together to load the five filled cardboard boxes and one dissatisfied box into the pickup.

After the car was loaded, Liu Xiaodong started the car. Guo Shugui and Li Zhenhua sat in the back.

At this moment, Liu Xiaodong asked Li Zhenhua.

“Zhenhua, this batch of knives has already been made. What are we going to do next?

Are you familiar with all your skills? Shouldn’t we start forging knives for the preliminaries?”

When Li Zhenhua heard the question, he thought to himself, It’s time. It’s indeed time to fight and use knives.

“Fatty, you’re right. We’ll each rest at home tomorrow and adjust for the day. The day after tomorrow, we’ll officially start forging the competition knives.”

Guo Shugui, who was playing with a knife in his hand, immediately became interested when he heard this.

He quickly turned to look at Li Zhenhua. “Huazi? Are we starting work? That’s great. I’ll also see how different the process of making the competition knives is from my table knives.”
