Chapter 1327 Knife Forging Competition

"Yuwei, it seems that I will be one step ahead of you this time."

As Xiang Yu spoke, he took out the piece of silver-shiny steel. He wiped it with his hands and saw a ray of flames coming out of the steel, which made Xiang Yu confirm that it was an excellent piece of steel. He didn't think much about it, took out the steel and put it in the forging furnace, and started heating.

At this time, Zhang Yuwei also started to act, but he did not directly choose the materials. Instead, he walked to the long sword he asked to build, gently stroked the sword body, and felt the patterns on the blade. Zhang Yuwei discovered that although the sword looked extremely smooth from a distance and shined with silver light, it was actually not silver, but made it extremely bright by polishing. The most important thing is that Zhang Yuwei discovered that there were many small patterns distributed on the sword of the sword. These patterns seemed to be carved and very delicate. If you didn't observe carefully, you would definitely not be able to see it. Then, Zhang Yuwei took off the sword.

Nangong Xian not only did not refuse Zhang Yuwei's behavior, but instead nodded repeatedly to express his approval. In his opinion, the first thing a qualified forgeer must do is to carefully observe the weapons he wants to forge so that he can focus on the details. Xiang Yu was obviously too reckless, but in connection with the extremely complete weapons that Xiang Yu had made before, Nangong Xian felt that this game might be even more exciting than he thought.

Zhang Yuwei turned the sword over and flipped over, and kept observing and confirming the length of the sword, the style of the sword hilt, the length and material of the handguard, and the sword body, after the double blades were opened, Zhang Yuwei gently put the sword back. Then he walked to the steel full of the table and began to select the materials. At this time, Xiang Yu's heating was over. In order to better feel the texture of the steel, Xiang Yu did not use work pliers, but used "Hundreds of War Wars, Seal" on his arms. Then he took out the red steel billet burned in the forging furnace with his bare hands, placed the billet on the workbench, constantly swinging the hammer, and forging it.

"It's actually bare hands!"

Nangong Xian was shocked by Xiang Yu's actions. Not only Nangong Xian, but also the female students who were watching Xiang Yu before and the male students who hated him were also shocked. None of them dared to grab such a hot billet with bare hands, but Xiang Yu did it, not only did it, but also kept exerting force on the billet and forging it with a hammer.

Soon, the billet in Xiang Yu's hand was lengthened, but it was obviously a big difference from the hanging sword. Xiang Yu raised his head and glanced at the sword on the wall. Then he continued to lengthen the billet, intending to make the prototype of the sword first.

At this moment, Zhang Yuwei also chose the materials. Since Zhang Yuwei showed great observations of the sword to be forged at the beginning, Elder Nangong Xian was still very concerned about him. However, seeing that Zhang Yuwei did not use the high-level forging materials in the pile of materials, he took a lot of bolts and iron balls, this surprised Nangong Xian. In his memory, these materials were the worst in the forging room and were used for new disciples to practice. The sword made of such materials could not be compared with the sword made of the materials chosen by Xiang Yu.

"It is really the most unwise choice to choose iron balls for forging. Your friend chose silver steel. Although there is no more advanced material than silver steel in the remaining materials, there are also many rare materials. I suggest you choose again."

Unexpectedly, seeing Zhang Yuwei throw him home as she was embarrassed, Elder Nangong Xian kindly reminded Zhang Yuwei, but Zhang Yuwei did not make another choice, but smiled at Elder Nangong Xian and said.

"Thank you, the elder, but these materials are enough."

After saying that, Zhang Yuwei put the selected material on the table. He turned on the grinder and grinded the bolts, iron balls, and other materials on the grinder. On one side, it was for removing impurities and on the spark test, to distinguish where it was high-carbon steel and where it was low-carbon steel. After confirming the steel structure of the material in his hand, Zhang Yuwei finally started forging.

Xiang Yu, on one side, was always one step ahead of Zhang Yuwei. Zhang Yuwei had just started forging and Xiang Yu had already completed the steel billet, but he did not directly grind the sword body as people around him imagined to create the prototype of the sword. Instead, he used a hammer to continuously forge the left and right sides of the steel billet, and made the long steel billet into a U-shaped shape. After all this, Xiang Yu came to the pile of materials again. This time, he flipped left and right inside, and took several minutes to take out a reddish-brown iron bar.

"Elder, what are they doing? Why have I never seen such forging methods?"

The onlookers were all shocked when they saw the forging competition between Xiang Yu and Zhang Yuwei. The forging method they showed was something they had never seen before. Although they had been in the forging room for a long time, Nangong Xian had never taught them to forge in this way. Facing the students' questions, Nangong Xian "hissed" half-believing and half-doubting.

"If I'm not mistaken, they should be using the unique forging method of the earth, which is very different from our forging method. However, the two people choose the forging method of the earth at the same time, which means they want to compete fairly."

“How the earth is forged?”

It turned out that the students who asked Nangong Xian to answer the questions were even more confused. Many of them had been practicing in Tianwu Sect since childhood. They had never been to Earth at all, and had never seen the way of forging the Earth. Seeing this, Nangong Xian simply started teaching, and he pointed at Xiang Yu and said.

"If I remember correctly, the forging technique he used should be three steel technology, but he did not weld the steels together for press-combing forging, but first created an u-shaped periphery, and then applied the newly selected hematite to the blade part. The knife created in this way has both the toughness of silver steel and the strength of hematite, which is also the advantage of the three steel technology."

"Three pieces...steel, technology? What is that?"

Nangong Xian said something completely confused the students. None of them had ever heard of the existence of Sanzi Steel. In Tianwu Sect, they all used other forging methods to forge. In the face of the students' doubts, Nangong Xian didn't know how to explain it. After all, his understanding of Sanzi Steel was limited to this, and he had never tried it once. Seeing that a student asked him, Nangong Xian could only smile awkwardly and said.

"The teacher doesn't understand very much. In short, let's see, I have a premonition that this game will be very exciting."

Zhang Yuwei glanced at Xiang Yu's direction at this time and saw that Xiang Yu had stuffed the hematite into the U-shaped silver steel. After the forging, he threw it into the forging furnace to calcinate. He smiled slightly, and then welded several small iron plates into an iron can with a welder. After doing all this, Zhang Yu knocked the screws and iron balls he chose into pieces.
