Chapter 32 Earth-Covered Blade Heating

“Yes, we did. Don’t worry. We won’t miss a single scene. When the time comes, we’ll let the organizing committee see a complete process.”

Guo Shugui said to Li Zhenhua, who was walking in front.

Li Zhenhua carried the soil back to the blacksmith’s shop and placed the raw soil he had dug up with the materials from before.

Liu Xiaodong placed the two tools in the corner and came to Li Zhenhua’s side.

He saw Li Zhenhua holding a measuring device and fiddling with the prepared raw materials.

“What are you preparing for? Why don’t I understand?

And here’s charcoal, and coal, and this soil dug back.”

Faced with Liu Xiaodong’s question, Li Zhenhua weighed the various raw materials while answering Liu Xiaodong’s question. “Hehe, you don’t understand, right? I’m concocting something for quenching,

‘I call this the Shrouding Earth Burning Blade. Do you know what the Shrouding Earth Burning Blade is?’

This was a unique method of quenching. In fact, the principle was very simple. The blade was only quenched, and the rest of the blade was not quenched.

I’ll explain it to you as I do it. Watch carefully!”

Li Zhenhua did not stop what he was doing as he spoke. Instead, he placed some iron powder into a measuring cup.

Then, Li Zhenhua saw the weight of the iron powder in his eyes. Iron powder: 1,000G.

Pour the iron powder from the measuring cup into a basin. Use the measuring cup to measure the other ingredients.

In a short while, iron powder, raw soil, borax, charcoal powder, and carbon powder were poured into the basin. They were all measured according to the biometric scale given by the Eye of Analysis.

Li Zhenhua held an iron rod and stirred it in the basin. The various raw materials in the basin were fully fused together.

Holding a gourd ladle in a nearby water tank, he scooped out a ladle of water and poured it into the basin.

The little iron rod did its job again. It just stirred in the basin and saw that the various things in the basin had become a basin of watery mud with the water mixed in.

“Fatty, look. This is the soil that will be smeared on the blade later. Cover the blade later and heat it in the furnace.

After the mud-coated blade was burned to a certain temperature, I placed him directly into the water,

This would allow the exposed blade to cool quickly, achieving the goal of quenching,

As for the part covered in mud, because there’s mud blocking it, this part isn’t quenched and still maintains its toughness.”

As Li Zhenhua spoke, his movements were not affected at all.

Liu Xiaodong and Guo Shugui, on the other hand, looked enlightened.

Li Zhenhua took a small spatula and dug out some mud from the basin. Then, he smeared it on the blade.

In a short while, the blade was covered in mud. Of course, the position of the blade was left open.

Li Zhenhua took out a special long ruler with a wavy shape from one side and started scraping it near the blade.

On the blade, a very smooth wavy line appeared near the blade.

Li Zhenhua turned on the electric heater that had long been preheated and placed the blade, which had long been tied with wire, into the heater.

After setting the temperature, all that was left was to wait to reach a specific quenching temperature.

More than ten minutes passed. The mud that had been smeared on his body had long solidified on the blade under the high temperature.

The exposed part of the blade was already red from the heat from the heating furnace.

Opening the furnace door, Li Zhenhua held a metal hook and hooked the wire on the handle.

The knife was taken out and exposed to the air. He looked at the temperature displayed in his eyes. It was just right for this quenching.

Li Zhenhua went straight to the sink filled with water without another word.

Immediately after, he dipped the knife into the groundwater. The surface of the sink became misty again.

After the knife touched the water, the temperature of the exposed blade quickly decreased.

After a while, Li Zhenhua looked into the sink.

The position of the blade in the sink showed that the blade had reached the hardness of 58.

He fished the knife out of the sink and placed him on the real platform with the knife. With a small hammer, he knocked off the cover that had hardened to bricks on the blade.

Then, the entire weapon was presented to the three of them.

Liu Xiaodong was also curious. He was a little puzzled by Li Zhenhua’s use of the Overlay Earth Blade Tempering Technique this time.

When he saw the knife, he reached for the handle.

Just as Liu Xiaodong’s hand was about to touch the knife,

“Be careful with your skin. I’ll burn your hands later. Don’t blame me for not reminding you!”

When Liu Xiaodong heard Li Zhenhua’s words, he immediately retracted his hand.

When he retreated, he saw Liu Xiaodong muttering:

“Isn’t it already quenched? Besides, it’s not that hot looking at this knife! Why can’t I experience it first?”

Li Zhenhua only spoke to Liu Xiaodong when he saw the temperature of the knife drop to the point where he could touch it with his hand.

“Go up and get it. I’ll let you feel it first. Remember to bring it to me later. I’ll prepare something for later.”

With that, Li Zhenhua walked to the corner and moved the long bench to the center of the courtyard.

He came out with a wad of sandpaper and sat down on the long bench after he got back to the first floor.

Liu Xiaodong was also very discerning and handed the knife in his hand to Li Zhenhua.

“It feels better now. It was too uncomfortable to hold the handle.”

Li Zhenhua looked at the fat Liu Xiaodong as if he was looking at a fool.

“Fuck, I’d be surprised if it was comfortable. Why don’t you take a look? Is the handle attached?”

After saying that, Li Zhenhua didn’t dawdle anymore. He took the knife and did the same thing as before. He opened a V, opened the blade, and polished it.

After another two hours, a dog leg-shaped knife knife without a handle appeared in front of the three of them.

Now, as long as he got the handle right, this saber would be a finished saber.

Cutting melons and vegetables was nothing difficult. Even if he used this saber to fight on the battlefield, he would not drop the ball.

A handful of stir-fried steel made from pig iron, then folded and forged with stir-fried steel to make patterned steel (forged steel),

Finally, Li Zhenhua placed the Gurkha knife made of patterned steel on the cabinet on the first floor.

There was a piece of flannel under the blade, afraid that it would ruin the blade that had just been polished.

“Huazi, this knife is finally done, right? Should we call the delivery man next and ask him to come and pick up the package!”

Guo Shugui took a camera from the side and changed the lens to a smaller lens.

Taking pictures of the various details on the body, any scratch of this knife at this moment,

They could all be displayed under the camera lens.

“Next is the delivery. We can’t let the delivery

man come over.

We went straight to the delivery station. When we got there, I still had to watch over them and pack our knives!

Otherwise, I’m worried about whether the delivery man will pack this knife according to my request.” The three of them picked up their knives and Liu Xiaodong drove towards the express delivery station.
