technical type

In the evening, when Ji Mo talked to Aunt Ji about today's sword discussion meeting, there was a lot of disappointment between his brows, and he said: "I never thought that there would be no truth at all. They exchanged empty words and talked in general terms. After such a long time, the sword is forged." What prestige does the family have?"

Ji Mo heard Mr. Zhao talk about the whole story of the formation of some aristocratic families, such as the sword-making family, which was promoted by the emperor because of its expertise in sword-making, let it prosper and establish a family, and slowly cultivate the reputation, on the one hand. Because of the famous sword, on the other hand, isn't the technology recognized, and the reason for this recognition is not because of the words of advice when communicating with others, which is far above others?

Even if they are unwilling to say such a thing now, who will want to believe that the sword-making family is not a waste of fame in the future?

Today, if it were not for Ji Mo's trust in Master Kong's character, I am afraid that those people would have thought that those people were fake swordsmiths who deceived the world and stole their names.

Enjoying the scenery and chatting in the garden, and the elegant demeanor of toga and big sleeves, it can't be seen that it is a technical job with a hammer around the furnace, but it looks like a civil servant somewhere, brewing a good poem.

After listening to these complaints, Aunt Ji understood Ji Mo's disappointment. She hadn't paid attention to other swordsmith families for a long time, but she didn't expect it to be like this. If it is true as Ji Mo said, then it seems...

A sentence resounded inexplicably in my ears: sooner or later, these aristocratic families will disappear.

Who said that?Who ever said that to her?

Feeling in a trance for a while, Aunt Ji patted Ji Mo on the shoulder and asked him to rest without saying any comforting words.

In the days that followed, Ji Mo began to conduct weight comparison experiments in silence. He was so calm that he completely ignored the noise from the outside world for several years. The sound of ridicule.

Every year, Kong Xian would come here at least once to see what he was doing, to test whether he had heard the words from the outside world, and after realizing that Ji Mo knew nothing about it, he secretly felt that it was a kind of experience to be able to concentrate on doing what he liked. Fortunately.

After Ji Mo finally discovered several suitable ratios for different preparations, the time flow generally passed ten years, and the fully adult Ji Mo had to be troubled by adult troubles.

"Auntie, I don't think I have any achievements yet, so I don't need to think about getting married, so as not to be distracted, let's talk about it after I forge a few more swords."

Ji Mo was a little helpless, probably women like to be matchmakers when they reached a certain age, those women in the village used to be like that, and now Aunt Ji is like that too.

"Getting married and starting a business, it can be seen that starting a family is a matter before starting a business. What does getting married have to do with your sword casting? I know that the mother of Wang's daughter is a good one. The daughter taught by such a mother will definitely be good..."

Aunt Ji has never socialized with outsiders, so she somehow remembered a daughter of the Wang family. Ji Mo's eyes swept to those maidservants, what did these people say?

Now that he is older, he lives in the small courtyard next door. It seems to be separated by a wall, but in fact it seems to be far away all of a sudden. I don't know what Aunt Ji can hear every day.

It was so easy to deal with Aunt Ji, and when he returned to his yard, Ji Mo sat on the chair with a frown, why must he be 27 or [-] to be considered a leftover man, why was he urged to marry when he was only in his early twenties?

I have to admit that Aunt Ji has been patient enough to wait until now to urge the marriage, but her patience is not unlimited.

Baishi approached with a hippie smile, he was older than Ji Mo, married a long time ago, and married the maid pointed out by Aunt Ji, if Ji Mo didn't still use him here, he wouldn't be able to live with him at his age hospital.

"That Wang's daughter is a close relative..."

He talked about who arranged this matter, it was Ji Mo's Uncle Liu, it was really hard for him to find Wang's daughter, when the Liu family rebelled, all those who opposed it as fiercely as the Ji family died, and the rest The next ones are the fans of the Liu family, and the Wang family is a little marginalized among them. However, the Wang family was not a big family back then, so no one could look down on them.

Such a candidate would not give Aunt Ji the instant sense of "marrying the daughter of an enemy"—those who supported the Liu family would all have feuds against the Ji family in disguise.Secondly, the Liu family will not let the emperor feel that the Ji family still has disobedience, so as to target them.After all, the Wang family can be regarded as a courtier who has no merit. He took refuge late, did not make any merit, but did not do other things against the wind. People pursued it.

Baishi's sword casting skills are average, but in other aspects, such as interpersonal relationships and understanding of people's hearts, he is much better than Ji Mo. Ji Mo has never been too lazy to spend his mind on these things. The tasks he does are all For those who see the real chapter under their hands, no matter how much they think and talk, it's useless.

After hearing what Bai Shi said, Ji Mo also understood Uncle Liu's good intentions. It was because he was afraid that Ji's family would not be tolerated by the world, and the most important thing was that he would not be tolerated by the emperor, so he chose such a marriage carefully.

"What's so bad about getting married when a male college graduates?"

Baishi didn't understand Ji Mo's stubbornness.

"If I don't get married, I can take care of myself and the things I like. If I get married, I will be responsible for a family, my wife who depends on me, and maybe there are children. There are too many things, too much. Trouble."

Thinking about it, Ji Mo felt that the ancient times were not a good place to get married. Not to mention whether his wife could match his temperament, but after having a child, would he have the heart to watch the child receive an ancient education?If you can't bear it, do you want to teach your child to be deviant and outrageous?

In short, it is very troublesome. He is still a child and doesn't want to get married.

The matter failed under Ji Mo's insistence. For this reason, Uncle Liu even talked to Ji Mo specifically. Ji Mo's reply was very simple: "I want to concentrate on forging swords now, and when I can forge a world-famous Sword, I will get married."

At that time, he could leave after passing the exam. Whether he went home or not, he would definitely not think about getting married again.

Unknown that he was using the word "dragging", Uncle Liu nodded slightly, approving his focused attitude, and probably told Aunt Ji about it afterwards, neither of them urged Ji Mo any more.

And the people Ji Mo knew daily were also very simple, if these two big bosses didn't urge him, no one would be able to urge Ji Mo anymore.

When Kong Xian heard that he was "pardoned" so easily, he felt very uncomfortable: "I couldn't say anything at the time, and in the end I was tied up and sent to the bridal chamber."

Of course, the reason for this is different from Ji Mo's. He really didn't like his fiancée, but since he was married, he wouldn't just be irresponsible just because of this dislike. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed in escaping the marriage.

When talking, Ji Mo was not next to the shaft furnace, but was sorting out his records over the years in the next room, listening to Kong Xian while sorting out, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he really It's hard to imagine how ridiculous it would be for Kong Xian, who is five big and three thick, to be tied up and sent into the bridal chamber.

"What are you writing, why do you always see these things drawn?"

Words and pictures are still very easy to distinguish. Kong Xian only thought that Ji Mo was illiterate, so he drew some random words. But at this time, when Ji Mo sorted out the records, he would naturally use the common words in this world, so it showed some It's strange.

Ji Mo covered it for a while, signaling not to let him see, Kong Xian didn't poke his head again, "I can't see it now, I will announce these to the world sooner or later, but now is not the time, I already have some swords After such a long time, it’s time for me to forge a famous sword.”

"It should have been like this a long time ago. Over the years, the swords you have forged are not bad. I don't know what you have drawn, but they are all discarded. How much ore material was wasted. My father must feel distressed when he sees it."

Kong Xian agreed.

Over the years, Ji Mo has added five more shaft furnaces here, as well as sword slaves. He divided out five sword slaves who were accustomed to group experiments, and asked them to lead an experimental group each, and the remaining two The first is still in charge of the original two shaft furnaces, and he, Baishi and two new sword slaves are in charge of the first shaft furnace.

Ji Mo gives the idea of ​​the experiment here, and then asks them to increase or decrease the relevant weight problems a little bit. In the process, the sword is always cast to see the result, which consumes a lot of ore materials, and casting The sword that comes out is good if it is not good and it is discarded, because the result of frequent knocking is also easy to break and become a useless sword.

When arranging the experiment, Ji Mo thought about what kind of famous sword he would forge, and if the swords produced by the experiment were not good, he would smelt them again. After repeated adjustments with the best formula for many times, he would definitely be even more powerful when he came out of the furnace. Uncommon, at least in terms of sharpness, it should be comparable to Baisteel.

Each sword has been forged and quenched before being knocked and compared, and then put into the shaft furnace for re-smelting, then shaped again, forged and quenched again, and repeated many times to remove as much impurities as possible. Try to make the impurities that cannot be removed evenly distributed in this repeated melting and forging. I don't know how many times, the weight will not decrease after weighing. This method is probably similar to Baisteelmaking.

In modern times, Ji Mo heard the phrase "Hundreds of tempered steel turns into soft fingers". He has never seen what kind of hundred-smelted steel is, so he can only understand it from the meaning of the noun. If you hit it a hundred times, does it count as a hundred steelmaking?

It is not that the sword casting technique at this time did not pay attention to the importance of forging. Master Kong also mentioned it in his explanation, but when it comes to a hundred times, or even more than 100 times, no one is so patient, and like this I am willing to spend time.
