The ironware I made shines

Chapter 577 Origami
Ge Xiaohua ordered a Tang knife, and one of the requirements was to personally supervise the making process. Sun Ming thought that Ge Xiaohua was worried about his skills, and he didn't care. People don't do any harm. He wants money but doesn't have money, and his life is cheap. If he wants to watch it from the sidelines, he can watch it.

In fact, Sun Ming has lived alone for so many years, without even a friend, relying on blacksmithing every day to forget the unsatisfactory life, unaware that there is a problem with his mental state, depression is very normal, and the fact that he did not commit suicide has already shown When he was a soldier, his mental quality was very strong.

Ge Xiaohua asked him to build Tang Dao, not to observe his crafting skills, but to see the state of Sun Ming when he made it.

The next day, Ge Xiaohua stood behind and observed, giving Sun Ming a space to display, and quietly stood aside to observe without affecting his creation.

Sun Ming was immersed in his blacksmithing work, Ge Xiaohua's presence or absence actually had little influence on him.

"Tiejiang Sun's concentration is good, maybe it has something to do with his experience?" After all, Sun Ming was a mine-sweeping soldier of the older generation. At that time, the mine-clearing skills were not very high, and his work was done entirely by courage, so concentration required a lot. Gao, if Sun Ming's concentration is not high, the last accident may be permanent, and concentration is necessary for blacksmithing, so from this point of view, it is normal for Sun Ming to be able to persist for so long. People have perseverance, no matter what they do, they will achieve success.

"It is possible that all the ironware forged are directly shaped. Blacksmith Sun did not adopt the method of folding and forging. This is also related to the fact that he focuses all his strength on the upper body. Folding and forging consumes too much energy. Even if Sun Ming knows , and don’t have so much power to fold and forge.” Sun’s blacksmith shop is full of traditional blacksmithing tools, and there is no belt machine, let alone an air hammer. Basically, they rely on that hammer for forging , Sun Ming is also over 50 years old. So many years of blacksmithing has consumed Sun Ming's body. After all, he has been in the blacksmith shop all year round, and there is still a lot of dust. He has absorbed a lot of dust. In the past, coupled with the disability of the left leg, it is even more impossible to exert force.

Without folding and forging, the material has too many impurities, and the quality of the forged Tang Dao can be imagined. After making it all day, Ge Xiaohua observed Sun Ming's forging method. Sun Ming admired Ge Xiaohua's skill in blacksmithing. From the beginning, he thought he was just a fan of swords and swords made by Tang Dao, but in an instant he promoted Ge Xiaohua to the level of senior blacksmiths. When he was blacksmithing, Sun Ming thought that blacksmithing was just a coolie, there was nothing technical at all, as long as he worked hard, he had been blacksmithing for more than [-] years, except for the rapid increase in technology in the past few years, there was basically no progress in the later period, and he fell into a Within the strange circle, at this time, Sun Ming realized that forging iron was not as simple as imagined, and no matter how hard he worked hard, he would stagnate at a certain level. No matter how hard he tried, it was of no use. He needed a capable person to guide him. Sun Ming knew very well that this capable person was Ge Xiaohua.

"Boss Ge, no, Master Ge, how do you forge the Tang Dao? The Tang Dao I made during the day is unqualified?"

"Yes, the key to the forging of Tang Dao is folding and forging, so that the impurities in the steel can be fully removed, and..." Ge Xiaohua carefully explained the way of making Tang Dao, without any reservations, and Ge Xiaohua's way of making Tang Dao Still went to Japan to "stealthly learn" samurai swords, combined with Ge's blacksmith's own understanding of Tang swords, the most perfect way to make Tang swords, that is to say, no matter who it is, the way to make Tang swords is It was not rumored, but Ge Xiaohua said it without any reservations. Sun Ming has been blacksmithing for decades, and he knows that these building methods are completely confidential and will not be easily spread. These are the skills to support his family.

The exchange was over, it was too late to see the time, Ge Xiaohua went to rest, Sun Ming was still immersed in the knowledge Ge Xiaohua just said, and said to himself: "Ge Xiaohua, who are you, why are you helping me?"

Sun Ming knew very well that Ge Xiaohua did not come to customize knives, and he had no malice towards him. On the contrary, he taught him very precious blacksmithing skills. These skills are hard to come by. After all, Sun Ming belongs to the older generation. He uses a feature phone and doesn't watch TV very often. He doesn't know Ge Xiaohua. Even if he does, so what.

The next day, Sun Ming remelted the Tang Dao he made yesterday, preparing for a second forging, using the folding forging method he learned last night.

Ge Xiaohua didn't stop him, knowing that Sun Ming wanted to turn the theory into reality, but to achieve the appropriate number of forging layers, the strength and temperature control during forging, etc., all the details had to be done by himself. Give it a try, it's still very difficult.

After Sun Ming forged a few layers, he realized that the difficulty in this aspect was too high. He forged ten layers in one day. Every time he folded and forged, Sun Ming found it very difficult, and the power consumed was really high. There are too many, and it is simply not possible for manpower to complete it, or is it that one's own strength is not enough?
After the rest, Sun Ming became a little more excited after eating the delicacies cooked by Ge Xiaohua. Ge Xiaohua also came for two days and became familiar with the surrounding environment. Obligatory watchdog, Sun Ming didn't say anything, because Ge Xiaohua's current identity is different from when he first came here, similar to the existence of a teacher. Although Sun Ming is old, he is still easy to learn. Although the two did not explain What kind of master-student relationship is it, but Sun Ming has long regarded Ge Xiaohua as a teacher, and still respects him very much. Due to the age gap, Sun Ming's posture cannot be too low, but he is also much more humble.

"Xiaohua, the folding and forging you said can really improve the quality of Tang Dao?"

"Absolutely."

"But why do I feel that every time I fold and forge it consumes so much power, it seems that the feeling of knocking it down is different from the first time I forged it."

"You can try origami and see how many times a piece of paper can be folded."

"I understand."

It is understandable to use origami to form folding and forging. Although there are still differences between the two, it is very laborious to fold paper every time, and the same is true for forging iron.

"You want to fold and forge to a suitable level. This cannot be mastered overnight. It requires extensive training, but you also need to have a strong strength. If you use an air hammer."

"Air hammer?"

"This is a kind of machine used for beating." Ge Xiaohua explained the principle, and Sun Ming seemed to understand it. If you use a machine, it is better to rely on your own hands. The older generation is still very traditional and insists on manual forging. , In fact, I don’t want to learn new food.

"So what if you improve your own strength?"

"Your left leg!" Ge Xiaohua pointed to Sun Ming's left leg. If it was an ordinary person, he would be furious, but Ge Xiaohua gave him the feeling that he was not the kind of casual insult, so he held back and listened to him patiently. Having said that, it turned out that what Ge Xiaohua said about the left leg was to re-forge a new prosthetic limb for Sun Ming. In this way, through the force of the legs, the strength and durability of the forging will be much stronger.
