Chapter 186 Demonstration
"…the energy that maintains the closeness between metals." Zhenhua finished explaining the knowledge points to be presented today with a smile.
There were hundreds of people in the venue, and they remained silent the entire time. Many of them even had awe in their eyes.
Melt forging is actually hard for most blacksmiths to understand, after all, blacksmiths above level 6 are a minority. But such knowledge will undoubtedly be of great help to their future growth.
"I know everyone still has many questions. I will give you an answer, but not by me, but by my apprentice."
apprentice?
The whole place became even quieter. How come the outside world had no news about the master craftsman having an apprentice?
The corner of Gu You's mouth twitched. He never wanted to show off.
Gu You walked towards the stage, and Zhenhua had thoughtfully prepared a forging table.
Everyone looked at him. They all wanted to see who this person was and why he could be Zhenhua's apprentice.
"How could it be him!"
Some people exclaimed directly on the spot.
"Who is it?"
Those who don’t understand are still asking.
"He has a very important background."
The person being questioned simply gave a meaningful look.
"Hello everyone, since the master asked me to give a demonstration, then I will do it. The molten alloy I want to forge is jade silver."
At this moment, two forging hammers suddenly appeared in Gu You's hands. He used his left hand to forge the hammer and moved it to the side on the stage.
The two kinds of ores for melting jade and silver naturally entered the forging table.
After the burning time was sufficient, the two types of ores slowly rose.
Gu You forged the stone with both hands, forging a piece of ore in each hand.
This forging technique not only shocked Zhenhua, but also the audience in the audience were all stunned.
"Ding--"
The crisp sound echoed in the hall.
Gu You's eyes began to widen, and a faint purple-gold light flickered in his eyes, "Shock!"
He just whispered this word, and brought down the double-handed forging hammer.
As heavy as a thousand pounds!
"boom--"
The force of the hammer caused the two minerals to stick together and they refused to separate no matter what.
The surroundings became quiet again. This forging technique was simple and crude, and everyone present felt that they could do it.
Zhenhua nodded slightly. This kid doesn't play by the rules.
After a full three-second pause, Gu You raised his hand again and smashed it down hard once more.
"boom--"
The bimetallic vibrations, and faintly, it seemed as if fine powder was ejected.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Gu You paused for three seconds after each hammer fell, forging slowly and heavily.
“Boom—” The sixth hammer fell, the fused ore rolled, impurities precipitated, and a ray of light flashed and disappeared.
Hundreds of forgings completed!
Six hammers and a hundred forgings!
Zhenhua stood up a little straighter. The roar continued, and Gu You had completely entered the forging state.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard at the same time, and then two rays of light rose up.
The entire combined ore was radiant with silver light on one side and countless stars rising on the other. The two echoed each other, each rising up to six feet and not dispersing for a long time.
Thousands of forged products!
Everyone in the audience was stunned. It was already very impressive for a piece of metal of the first grade to emit a five-foot light, but the child in front of them forged two pieces of metal of the sixth grade! What did this mean?
Holy item! The legendary holy item, Qianduan.
But this is not over yet, it’s just the beginning!
A green soul ring rose up under Gu You's feet. Instantly, the weight of the combined ore lightened, and it became more lively, with a breath of life about to burst out.
At the same time, he moved both hammers simultaneously, closing them inward.
The heavy forging is over, and the next step is light tapping.
This is fusion forging!
Some blacksmiths were addicted to it. The boy in front of them was so young that even the president wouldn't be able to forge at his age. Judging from his movements, this wasn't his first time forging.
If it is done by a high-level blacksmith, it must be spirit forging first, and then fusion forging.
But Gu You took a different approach and directly melt-forged the steel after a thousand forgings.
Watching Gu You tapping like a storm, Zhenhua subconsciously took a step forward and looked intently at the metal on the forging table.
Gu You forged very steadily, swinging his two hammers continuously, while his lower body stood very steadily, motionless. Green and red echoed on his body, and his whole body was emitting a soft and clear light.
Until the last hammer fell, the excitement burst out from the metal. The surface of the jade silver was shining brightly, and there was even a faint dragon pattern formed by the light.
Fusion and forging have spirit!
Snapped!Snapped!
There was constant applause from the audience.
Gu You bowed and finally left with Zhenhua.
"Are you hungry?"
"Ok!"
……
Following Zhenhua, we came to a small canteen. The canteen was not big, only about 20 square meters, with a round table and simple furnishings, and it looked plain and unpretentious.
The first dish is thousand-year-old earth dragon tendons.
A small piece of a thousand-year-old earth dragon tendon, which had been stewed for who knows how long, was soft and sticky, fresh and tasty. Just by smelling it, Gu You felt the blood surging in his body.
There was also a bowl of rice, which was top-grade moonlight rice. This kind of rice was produced in the bitter cold land of the far north, and could only be harvested once every three years. It was also extremely rare. The rice itself was in the shape of a crescent moon, but it emitted a faint silver light, and had a clear aroma and sweet taste. When paired with the braised thousand-year-old earthworm tendons, it was beyond description as delicious.
While Gu You was enjoying the delicious meal, the chef brought out another dish.
The chef was a man in his fifties who looked thin.
Before the dish arrived, a strong and fresh fragrance came first.
what is this?
On the huge tray with a diameter of half a meter, there were six red things. They looked a bit like shrimps.
These six shrimps are blood red all over, and the red has a jade-like luster. Their skins have been peeled off, and it looks like they haven't been seasoned in any way. Their heads are very big, and the rich aroma comes from them.
"What day is it today? Why did you even take out the ruby prawns? You usually don't want to give them to me!" Zhenhua looked at the chef in surprise.
The chef snorted, "Seeing how much this kid enjoys eating, I've prepared three for you."
"Haha, no need, give it all to the child." Zhenhua waved his hand.
Gu You was a little surprised, surprised at the relationship between the chef and Zhenhua, they seemed to be communicating on an equal footing. It was not easy for a chef to be appreciated by Zhenhua.
The chef chuckled, "Eat, kid, eat more. Ruby shrimp, also known as blood shrimp, is a strange creature that lives in the Blood Trench over 3,000 meters deep. It contains the essence of Qi and blood and is very similar to us humans."
"Thanks."
Even after he had eaten all six, there was no abnormality in Gu You's body.
The chef seemed to want to see through Gu You, but...
