The ironware I made shines

Chapter 104 Coordinated Forging
John took Ge Xiaohua to many temples, such as Tofukuji Temple, Kinkakuji Temple, and Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto, and saw the ancient local architectural styles. These temples are well preserved and cost a lot of money to maintain and rebuild every year. The tourists coming and going make Ge Xiaohua feel that he is in ancient times. Although the architectural style with classical meaning is influenced by Chinese architecture, it also has its own unique places. At least in terms of preservation, RB has done a good job.

After playing around, Ge Xiaohua thought a lot, and he couldn't understand this feeling without actually being in Kyoto.

In Yamamoto Town, 30 kilometers away from Kyoto, there is a huge forging family with a history of 1000 years. It is said that during the Warring States Period, the Yamamoto family used this as their base camp and extended their territory.

The Yamamoto family possesses powerful forging technology, relying on their forging skills to make a fortune, and it can continue to this day. It is conceivable how superb their skills are. Now the Yamamoto family is not limited to RB, and has also recruited many outside disciples in the world, and John is one of them one.

During the filming, the head of the Yamamoto family appeared. It was also the first time that Ge Xiaohua saw Master Masaosu Yamamoto at close range. This is an old man in his 60s, wearing a RB kimono and clogs, with a dignified expression. The inner disciples slowly stepped into the sacrificial hall.

The atmosphere in the whole hall was dignified, no one spoke, not even daring to take a breath, Master Masaoshi Yamamoto said a series of sacrificial words there, Ge Xiaohua couldn't understand a word, but felt very solemn.

"It's not easy for a blacksmith to do this. In China, there is no such scene." Ge Xiaohua knows that domestic blacksmiths are just earning a living, but in RB they are upper-class people, and their students and old officials are all over the world. Only those who can come in to worship The inner disciples are all the top knife forging masters in RB and even in the world.

In his heart, Ge Xiaohua planned to stand up and challenge Yamamoto Masaosu, but in this environment, jumping out would undoubtedly be embarrassing, not only the person who lost him, but also representing a country, which is still very sensitive, not to mention this The second time was that John invited him privately out of good intentions, and Ge Xiaohua couldn't make things difficult for John.

Masayasu Yamamoto and others finished their sacrifices. As the head of the family, Masayasu Yamamoto did not preside over the forging, but left the scene. The one who remained was an inner disciple, that is, Yuji Yamamoto, the second son of Masayasu Yamamoto, 30-year-old Yuji Yamamoto Yuji Yamamoto’s forging technology is already capable of being unique. John is guided by Yuji Yamamoto, and he is also called Mr. Yuji Yamamoto. Yuji Yamamoto, who once studied at Harvard University in the United States, is not only a registered blacksmith, a master of forging knives, but also a master of science in advanced engineering materials from Harvard University. A veritable academic master.

"Teacher, long time no see, how are you doing?" John gave Yuji Yamamoto his luggage respectfully, bowed and said, although Yuji Yamamoto is younger in age, Yuji Yamamoto can indeed dominate in forging technology, not to mention theory and practice Yuji Yamamoto, who has reached a peak, is proud.

"John, don't be too polite. We will try our best to cooperate with this shooting. Let's take a look at Yugang now." Yuji Yamamoto spoke fluent English, pure American English without an accent, which shows that he is indeed a top student. The top students studying at Harvard in the United States are different.

Yuji Yamamoto's status in the family is still very high, and he is mainly responsible for external activities. His older brother is more traditional and mainly inherits his father's skills. His older brother is better at forging knives, but No contact with foreigners, only dealing with family matters.

Yamamoto Masaosu's two sons, one internal and the other external, made the Yamamoto family develop extremely rapidly.

Yuji Yamamoto has a gentle appearance, wearing a pair of round eyes, and his body is extremely thin, which may be the reason for the strong contrast with John, who is nicknamed the brown bear. I thought he was a scholar when he met outside, but he put aside the profession of blacksmith , Yuji Yamamoto was originally a high-achieving student.

Yuji Yamamoto carefully inspected the quality of jade steel, and took a magnifying glass to observe every detail of the refined iron. After about half an hour, Yuji Yamamoto nodded and said, "The requirements for forging katana swords have been met, and the furnace can be forged."

After hearing this, the two disciples behind Yuji Yamamoto moved Yugang to the forging room.

A group of people came to the forging studio. Yamamoto Yuji threw the jade steel into the furnace, and then forged it for the first time. With the sound of a hammer, the jade steel was hammered into pieces of silver iron.

During the beating process, Yamamoto Yuji was the person in charge of the overall situation. He observed the changes in the furnace jade steel. When it reached the level of forging, he would use pliers to pinch it out and let his disciples beat it. He would shout out during the beating process. , making the momentum like a rainbow, Ge Xiaohua can feel it even when he is standing.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being a forging family. The control of the fire is extremely good. Yamamoto Yuji is like a general, controlling everything. All the coolies and physical work are handed over to his disciples, and the core is controlled by himself." No matter what kind of work Ge Xiaohua does, he does it by himself. Seeing Yuji Yamamoto's forging method, he looks a little envious, but everyone has their own way, and Ge Xiaohua will not learn it, mainly because he does not have the strength to recruit disciples .

Those who can help under Yuji Yamamoto are undoubtedly the elites in the inner sect. As Yuji Yamamoto, his direct descendant, his status is only a little lower than that of Masayasu Yamamoto and Yuji Yamamoto, and he has the absolute right to speak externally.

When Ge Xiaohua heard that the second person in the Yamamoto family was called Yamamoto Yudai, he was a little stunned, but it was understandable, they were all descended from the character "Xiong".
Pieces of jade steel were gathered together, carefully wrapped with paper, and then covered with clay, ashes, etc. Ge Xiaohua knew this was to prevent oxidation.

Put the jade into the furnace and heat it until it reaches the point of melting. When the temperature rises to 1300 degrees, a small piece of jade steel will fuse into one.

Yuji Yamamoto immediately pulled Yugang out of the stove and shouted: "Knock!"

"Crack! Crack!" The two disciples of Yuji Yamamoto swung the sledgehammer and beat rhythmically. The efficiency was no worse than that of the air hammer, and they controlled the temperature.

"The synergy of the RB people has to be subdued." Ge Xiaohua thought to himself, what is great about Yuji Yamamoto is that he can control the heat and temperature just right, and he is a commander who can control the overall situation.

The first forging formed a knife blank, and then folded and forged, so that the impurities in the jade steel were fully removed, and the carbon element could be more integrated into the steel.

And this forging process is very hard. Two disciples forged for a while, and then two more disciples came to help replace them, so that the strength of the forging did not slack at all, and the controller Yuji Yamamoto was always present. No matter how hard he worked, he was the hardest person.

If the forged layer exceeds 5000 layers, the texture of "earth muscle" will appear.
