Global Famine: My items can be automatically upgraded

For the use of swords, in the hands of masters, the blade alone can cut through a 30-centimeter-thick homogeneous steel plate. Ordinary armored personnel carriers and mutant creatures are as fragile as paper under their swords.

As a close-fitting weapon, Song You has an urgent need for it.

Of course, he has been imitating Shen Bei's fighting style. I hope he won't change his weapons next time, otherwise his remaining money will not be enough to follow him.

At this time, Song You did not rashly choose a sword. The names of the shapers who cast them were marked on the edges of all the sword blanks. He wanted to observe the craftsmanship of these shapers before making a choice.

To be frank, not every shaper can maintain the same level.

The same sniper rifle, when you give it to Shen Bei and when others use it, there are two completely different suppressive forces.

Not long after observing, Song You was in a trance.

Suddenly he found a familiar name and took another look to make sure he was not wrong.

Chen Yihang

This name is not well-known, and almost no one has even heard of it.

But Song You vaguely remembered that Shen Bei mentioned it. This is another name of Chen Anzhi, the director of the institute and the leader.

Good guy.

Song You's mouth twitched. He didn't dare to use his real name?

Afraid of embarrassment?

Song You touched his chin and thought for a while. He must have thought wrong. It's not that Chen Anzhi didn't use his real name, but that he used his real name. For the superpowers who need weapons, can they find other shapers to forge weapons?

They must find Chen Anzhi.

Then he doesn't have to do anything else. He works all day long and sweats all over. This is obviously not in line with the identity of a leader.

But Chen Anzhi probably still wants to forge sword blanks sometimes, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, hiding behind the sword gamblers to open a good sword, and secretly enjoy it.

Song You looked around and recognized Chen Anzhi among the many shapers.

Shen Bei once described Chen Anzhi's appearance, with a black mole at the corner of his eyebrow.

He is still hiding in the workshop now, wearing work clothes, and his face is blackened by smoke. If you don't look closely, you can't tell who he is.

It was only when Chen Anzhi wiped his face that the black mole was revealed, which made Song You discover it.

Chen Anzhi is now covered in oil and sweat, wearing a fireproof apron, and is squeezed in a corner with an old power hammer to hammer a bearing cut from the chassis of a scrap car.

Song You walked over and saw that after folding and forging for a period of time, he would evenly sprinkle borax on the bearing that had become a steel block and put it back into the gas furnace for heating.

The consumption of borax by the shaper is very large. During forging, it can clean impurities, assist in the fitting of gaps, and prevent dust from being trapped.

Because the radiation received by the bearing in the wasteland environment is not uniform. This leads to uneven distribution of the mutant metal inside the bearing. It must be folded and forged many times to make the mutant metal evenly distributed in the entire steel block.

However, the number of high-temperature castings that mutant metals can withstand is limited.

This is a great test of the experience of the shapers, how to make the various mutant metals in the whole piece of steel into one in the shortest number of folding and forging. Whether you can master this point is the biggest difference between weapons.

All shapers are forging iron in the workshop, but they are not afraid of being stolen by others, because as a shaper, the greatest effort is on a pair of eyes.

During this period, several people gambled on a sword blank, and all failed. But Song You didn't even look at it. He squatted next to Chen Anzhi and watched him deal with the steel.

Because after a long time, no one succeeded in making a good sword, the enthusiasm of the onlookers began to dissipate, and the stalls in front of the sword betting became empty.

Not long after.

Chen Anzhi took off his work clothes, perhaps because he had had enough of it, he stopped forging weapons and resumed his status as a leader again.

At this time, the sun was setting, it was late, and the workshop of the institute began to close.

Two obviously newly promoted shapers lifted the shelf full of sword blanks and wanted to move it into the warehouse of the research institute.

The power hammer and gas furnace placed outside were very heavy and not worth much, but these sword blanks were very expensive and easy to steal, so they had to be locked in the warehouse.

"Wait a minute, I want to gamble with swords."

Song You patted his pants, stood up, and stopped the two apprentices.

Most of the shapers had taken off their fireproof aprons, grabbed sawdust mixed with laundry detergent, lined up to wash their hands and went home. After hearing Song You's words, they gathered around again, wanting to see the excitement.

Chen Anzhi, who was busy dealing with today's affairs and preparing tomorrow's production plan, also raised his head and looked at Song You in surprise.

He thought Song You was a psychic who came to steal his skills, but he didn't expect that he was a big shot who gambled with swords.

The two apprentices hurriedly put down the weapon rack and let Song You choose for himself.

"Sir, please choose my sword blank. Not long ago, a piece of water-sinking material from a subway track came in, and I forged this sword blank with the best piece."

Other shapers also sold their sword blanks to Song You.

Every time they sold a sword blank, they would get a considerable dividend. If they opened a sharp weapon, the price of the swords they forged in the future would also increase.

Song You was not disturbed by them, but calmly looked at all the sword blanks.

When he selected the sword blank, he first looked at the shape of the long sword, and eliminated those sword blanks with crooked sword spines and burrs on the sword edges.

He then scraped the outer oxide layer of the sword blank with his fingernails, and carefully observed the texture of the steel of the sword body.

He tapped the sword body with his index finger and listened to the sound of the sword body vibrating with his ears. His coordination attribute made his hearing much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he could clearly distinguish whether there were any uncoordinated abnormal sounds in the sound. That was the characteristic of the sword body with inclusions.

The above experience can eliminate those sword blanks with congenital defects.

Those sword blanks can't even pass the grinding stage. They are the failed products of the shaping superpowers, used to fool laymen.

Even so, it didn't increase the chance of success in the sword bet, because most of the sword blanks failed in the quenching stage. Because even if the sword blank is forged perfectly, if the appropriate temperature cannot be judged, the sword body will still crack in the quenching oil.

Everyone stopped talking and watched Song You pick up the sword blank and observe it carefully. They saw that the person who came to gamble with swords this time was a real expert.

The research institute had been completely closed, but no one present left.

They were all very curious whether Song You could gamble with a good sword.

Song You took out the sword blank slowly and observed it.

Although Chen Anzhi was a big shot, big shots also had their upside downs.

So he had to observe the type and content of the mutant metal in the sword body.

Magnetized molybdenum is a mutant metal associated with iron essence. It is not common but not rare.

As long as the content exceeds 0.08℅, magnetized molybdenum can keep the sword body strong at high temperature and inhibit the occurrence of degradation effect within a certain range.

The most important thing is that it can prevent temper brittleness and reduce the probability of the hot sword body cracking and twisting when it suddenly contacts cold oil.

This greatly improves the success rate of sword blank quenching and reduces the probability of failure in the sword bet from 95℅ to 75℅.

Song You checked and selected all five sword blanks containing magnetized molybdenum from the pile of sword blanks.

The sword blank of the shape-shaping superpower who promoted himself was among them, and even Chen Anzhi's sword blank contained magnetized molybdenum.

This gave Song You more confidence.
