Chapter 123 The Original Meaning of Alloy

"But for those objects that have no vitality, it is extremely huge. If it is completed, the object will become a living thing. However, if the object cannot withstand this special energy, it will be damaged. This is why rare metals will be lost if the spirit forging fails."

"We call this special energy the creative energy, which means the creation of life."

Gu You was stunned by what Feng Wu Yu said. He seemed to understand it, but also seemed not to understand it.

"You were able to succeed, in large part because your own spirit ring and the vitality bestowed by the hammer were strong enough. Life flowed into the fused ore, and with the help of your own blood, it had enough toughness to withstand the force, and was finally given life successfully. You inadvertently completed a very difficult forging step for us blacksmiths, called Guardian Creation. Not every blacksmith can do this. Even at the Saint Craftsman level, the success rate of Guardian Creation is no more than 30%. So, in order to improve the success rate of spirit forging, after countless generations of blacksmiths' experiments, we found another method, that is, to improve the strength of the metal itself and its ability to withstand the energy of creation and its quality. This method is called alloy!"

Gu You's face was full of confusion, but he still listened carefully.

Shen Yi could only smile helplessly and shake his head when he saw this. No matter how talented a genius is, he still has to attend classes and study.

"The so-called alloy, as the name suggests, you should also understand, is to fuse different metals together in a certain proportion. Alloys are widely used in mechas, but that alloy is different from the alloys our forgers are talking about. The alloys that fuse metals are generally burned at high temperatures to make different metals become liquid, and then fused and adjusted according to the proportions to finally form a shape. Some chemical elements may also be used to assist its success, but the alloys our forgers are talking about are completely the process of using the forging hammer in their hands to help the metal fuse. The alloy forging you made this time is relatively simple, relying on the swallowing characteristics of the ore itself, without high temperature melting. Some ores are even difficult to form into liquids when placed in fire and water at more than 10,000 degrees."

"We blacksmiths also need to fuse different metals in proportion, but the whole process is only forging. We fuse different metals into one and evenly shape them to improve their quality and characteristics. Finally, we complete the spirit forging, or even the higher level soul forging in the future. The moment a piece of metal is forged into shape, the foundation for its future development is determined."

"do you understand?"

Gu You nodded and said, "I understand. Isn't it just mixing and blending according to the amount? I have played with these things before."

"It's good enough that you can roughly understand it." Feng Wu Yu coughed, "From today on, I will begin to teach you how to forge alloys. When you can master at least a hundred kinds of alloy forging, you can continue to try spiritual forging. If your master doesn't teach you, I will teach you!"

"it is good!"

……

After passing all of Gu You’s own assessments, he followed Feng Wu Yu to the Forging Association of Shrek Academy to learn how to truly melt-forge alloys.

He didn't even go back to see Yali Yunming and the others, but asked Cai Yue'er to say hello on his behalf. He didn't know how angry Yali would be when he went back.

Feng Wu Yu began to teach Gu You how to forge alloys. Alloy forging, first of all, is the formula, and the most important thing is also the formula. These formulas have been refined and verified countless times by predecessors and summarized. It can be said that each alloy formula is extremely precious and will definitely be treasured.

Before that, Gu You had to give his newly forged alloy a cultural name.

渊须
He was also the creator of the first Yuanxu alloy formula. He was extremely famous. On his first attempt at alloy forging, he forged a new type of alloy, which was turned into a formula and recorded forever in the Federal Ore Alloy Record.

Alloy formulas are divided into two categories: common and rare. Rare can be said to be a secret recipe that only a few people know, while common is commonly used on the mainland and most people know it. Guyou's alloy formula is specified as rare, but it should be considered common, but the materials are scarce, so it is changed to rare. If there are more Longyuan meteorite mines, it may become common.

In the process of making gold, the more types of rare metals are fused, the more difficult it is to forge, because more changes will occur when they are fused together, and the formula will become more precious.

Generally speaking, most alloys forged from two to three metals are common types, while those with more than three are rare formulas. The more types of rare metals used in forging alloys, the rarer the formula.

At the same time, when entering the stage of learning alloys, inheritance becomes very important. Even ordinary alloy formulas have to be purchased from the Forgers Association. Gu You has the presence of Feng Wu Yu and Zhen Hua, two forging giants, but in terms of alloy formulas, he has a huge advantage.

After four hours of simple learning, Gu You stretched out his numb hands and was about to leave under Feng Wu Yu's murderous gaze.

"Boy, your method of rotary forging, is it rotary forging?"

"I don't know, I think so. I created it myself." After saying that, he left.

"That stinky boy."

Feng Wu Yu shook his face, but the moment Gu You stepped away, the expression on his face changed instantly, filled with a smile, and he started dancing. If an outsider saw him, with red hair, dancing like this, wouldn't he be a complete lunatic?

"Haha, hahaha! What a genius! This is the first time he's learning financial forging. I really have a good eye. Haha, hahaha..."

This was the vacation that Gu You wanted. He felt that it would be too boring to study alloys all the time. He would study in Shrek's outer courtyard from Monday to Friday, and go to Feng Wu Yu on Saturdays and Sundays. He originally disagreed, but after Gu You's persuasion, he finally agreed.

The dormitory for work-study students is located in a forest on the west side of Lingbing Square.

The size of the entire dormitory looks a bit too simple, especially compared with the main teaching building in front of Lingbing Square, it is like a slum.

The low house has only one floor and looks obviously dilapidated. There is a forest in front of it, but it seems that the purpose of this forest is more to block the view of the place and avoid embarrassment.

"It's really an uncomfortable place." Gu You murmured.

There seemed to be more than twenty bungalows in this area, with mottled walls...
