European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 16 Customization
"I said Bruno, why do you want to melt such a thin wire? I don't have such a small mold here." The blacksmith complained to Li Peijun, like a customer in trouble.

"Isn't there now?" Li Peijun took out two clay sculptures from the shop, and used his sword to neatly draw two deep marks of the same length on them.

Now the blacksmith was in trouble. The guy he had just bought was going to be used to make other molds, but he was ruined by Li Peijun. Li Peijun didn't let him suffer, so he reached into his pocket and took out a few silver coins.

"These money is enough for you to buy four or five yuan, and if you add the production cost together, you can earn it." The blacksmith took Li Peijun's money, sighed, and watched him toss around. I'm tinkering with something.

"Hey, there is no steel, let's make do with pig iron, and try the effect first." Li Peijun was talking to himself there alone, and he poured the molten iron into a mixed state of solid and liquid into the groove he had just drawn, and erased the After the excess leftovers, the two clay sculpture formworks were put together in a hurry and put into the fire cellar to dry.

When the heat was almost ready, Li Peijun pulled out the two templates, and before they solidified, he aligned the two semi-cylindrical grooves evenly, although the iron wire produced was a bit ugly. , but it is still usable.

Li Peijun borrowed the blacksmith's work gloves to carefully take out the iron wire, and borrowed the blacksmith's grinding tools to slightly trim the unevenness on the wire.

"It's finally done." Li Peijun looked at his work and was very proud.

"Bruno, I said you don't think the sword is too heavy, so you want to use this thin wire you made yourself as a saber." The blacksmith looked at Li Peijun's stupid look, and began to guess curiously.

Li Peijun ignored him, and went to a blacksmith to get a round iron rod. Li Peijun wrapped the iron wire around the metal rod very hard. Slowly pulled out the iron rod.

"It's okay. It would be better if it was made of steel, but it's a pity that it can't be made now." Li Peijun put the wrapped wire ring between his index finger and thumb and tried to press it, but the actual effect was not satisfactory.

"Is there a cylindrical hilt, like a metal container?" Li Peijun finally remembered the blacksmith who had been neglected by him. He had been watching him tinkering with him since just now, and now it finally came in handy.

"What? There is a cylindrical hilt, but it's solid." The blacksmith still doesn't know what Li Peijun is doing.

"Here, here are two Thors, bring me two more clay sculptures." Li Peijun seemed to be insane, but he was obsessed with making, and he was quite bold when spending money.

Li Peijun first made a cylindrical hole roughly the size of a sword hilt on a clay sculpture block, and then cut another clay sculpture block to make a solid cylinder, which was smaller than the hole.

Afterwards, Li Peijun poured some liquid metal into the pit, and then carefully placed the solid cylindrical clay block in the center of the pit without touching the bottom of the pit. After removing the scraps, he put the mold into the fire again. Drying and shaping in the cellar.

"You're done." Li Peijun took out the hollow sword hilt that had been shaped, and put the steel wire ring in to try the handle. The size was just right.Li Peijun took out the slightly larger sword and looked at the hilt he just made, feeling very happy in his heart.

"Go and get the sword-making molds. I want two of the same ones." After Li Peijun ordered the blacksmith, the other one started to work on it. He first took out his other sword and roughly separated the two swords. After the body is dismantled, I don’t worry about the scrapped scraps.

After waiting for the blacksmith to get out the molds for making swords, Li Peijun started his career as a craftsman again. He poured liquid iron into the sword body parts of the two molds, but only got less than one-third of the entire depth. Li Peijun concentrated his attention, fearing that his hands would shake too much.

"It's so thin, the blade is easy to break." The blacksmith at the side couldn't stand it anymore, after all, he was an old driver in this field.

"Anyway, I don't expect it to last long, I'm just trying." Li Peijun stuffed the mold into the fire cellar again.

After the matter was completed, Li Peijun got two blades that were more than half the thickness of the normal blade. He was not in a hurry, and he re-made the guard of the sword grid. Since it was not integrally shaped, Li Peijun had no choice but to Made a mortise and tenon structure to assemble the self-made circular hilt, and poured an additional layer of molten metal reinforcement seal at the junction of the blade and the gauntlet.

The professional blacksmith looked at the amateur Li Peijun and didn't know what his final product was. He saw that Li Peijun put the sword body that had been removed before, and asked himself how many wooden wedges and thick hemp rope .

"I said Bruno, what the hell did you make? It looks like a sword, a bow, and a crossbow." Li Peijun held his finished product and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. It was super invincible and ugly. It took a while to get used to it.

I don't know where the wooden wedge was used by Li Peijun. The thick hemp rope was tied to both ends of the cross sword by Li Peijun, and passed through the gap between the two thin blades. The hemp rope and the cross sword form a whole Triangular, there should be something stuffed in the gap.

"I'll be good. When you go out in the future and people ask you where your sword is made, don't tell me it's from me. I have never made such an ugly sword. I don't want to smash my own brand." Blacksmith Seeing this extremely ugly sword, he kept complaining about Li Peijun.

"It's called plain and unpretentious, and it's hidden." Li Peijun tried his best to demonstrate his achievements, but he couldn't help laughing seeing the sword's unremarkable appearance.

"It's really a little bit ugly."
