Shen Yilang said in a loud voice: "The first round, forging exchange and sparring <<< 。Topic: Metal Refining 。Each of you will receive a piece of rare titanium crystal. The time limit is two hours. 。Whoever achieves the best titanium crystal purification results within the specified time limit wins this competition. 。The winner will receive a reward of one thousand contribution points and academic credits. 。Winning in Grade One will result in an additional 30% bonus. 。" Hearing this rare metal, Tang Wulin's eyebrows raised slightly, while He Xiaopeng frowned. 。 Among rare metals, some are particularly difficult to forge. 。These particularly difficult-to-forge metals generally share a common characteristic: they are either of too high quality, too hard, or too ductile. During the forging process, more effort is required to manipulate them. 。Titanium crystal is undoubtedly one of the best. 。It's more accurate to describe it as an unrefined ore rather than a rare metal. 。It is very hard, but at the same time it is also brittle. 。During forging, if you apply too much force, it might break. If you don't apply enough force, you won't be able to budge it at all. 。Therefore, few blacksmiths choose to forge this metal. 。But if titanium crystal is refined, it becomes a very remarkable rare metal. It has a strong affinity for almost all other rare metals. Many high-level blacksmiths will extra fuse it into alloys to increase the strength of the alloy. 。The price of titanium crystal is also astonishing. Each piece of titanium crystal is almost sixty times the price of silver with the same weight. 。So, when Shen Yi continued, "The winner gets your forged items" 。Both Tang Wulin and He Xiaopeng's eyes became a little hot, especially Tang Wulin. 。This is titanium crystal! Don't even talk about how expensive it is, even if you have money, you might not be able to buy it. 。This is a strategically-level rare metal strictly controlled by the military and federal government. 。I can't believe the academy could pull this off. 。Two pieces of titanium crystal were quickly placed on Tang Wulin and He Xiao Peng's forging tables. 。Generally, a piece of rare metal refers to one foot in diameter, but the titanium crystal in front of them this time was two irregular pieces of metal, only roughly equal in size. 。Titanium crystal looks like a piece of quartz, but inside there are many fine and messy gold lines. 。Another difficulty with refining it is that, while keeping the volume as small as possible, we need to use forging methods to organize the gold wires inside. The better the overall quality of the gold wires, the higher the quality of the titanium crystal will be. 。It is said that an ancestor of the Tang Sect back then once used the golden wires inside titanium crystal to make a weapon, which was incredibly powerful. 。When Tang Wulin was still in the East Sea City, he had also refined a few times titanium crystal. Those were all found for him by Mu Chen, but the refined titanium crystal could not be given to him. This thing was also extremely scarce for the blacksmith association. 。Luckily, thanks to his experience at that time, when Tang Wulin saw the titanium crystal in front of him, he could stay calm. 。Tang Wulin and He Xinyue skillfully put the titanium crystal in front of them into the forging platform for smelting. 。The burning time of different metals is also different. 。The anvils before them were all state-of-the-art, with adjustable temperature and firing times. 。Every blacksmith has their own forging habits, and the time it takes to heat metal will vary slightly. 。This involves different forging methods passed down through generations. 。Shen Yi said, "When the fire is extinguished, we start the timer." 。Both Tang Wulin and He Xiaopeng fell silent, the two of them closing their eyes together as they adjusted their states. 。The few titled Douluo on the podium couldn't help but nod in approval. 。The academy has spared no effort in cultivating blacksmiths over the years. 。As a result, even excellent blacksmiths receive extra points on their entrance exams. 。Because this aspect is relatively weak for the Shrek Academy, or rather, top-tier blacksmiths are lacking in any major force. 。This is also why the Fire Dragon Douluo Feng Wu personally controls the Blacksmithing Association and promotes its vigorous development. 。The goal of Shrek Academy is to cultivate a divine artificer. 。Even among the renowned Title Douluos, only a handful possess the Four-Word Dou Armor. This is due to the scarcity of Heaven Forging Metal. 。Today, there is only one master smith in the forging world, and even he cannot always complete Heavenly Forging. 。As the head of the Blacksmiths' Association, Zhenhua, while giving Shrek Academy a lot of face, has limited blacksmithing ability. Besides Shrek, many powerful forces also seek him out, and he is already incredibly busy. 。...only a small portion of the demands can be met... 。To this, all parties were also helpless. 。Why are master craftsmen so rare?Feng Wuju has been promoted to a Saint Craftsman for many years, but he knows that the distance between him and a Master Craftsman is still far away, even impossible to reach. 。He started too late, although he improved quickly at the beginning thanks to his cultivation base. But after reaching the Soul Forging stage, the path of forging ahead was no longer just about cultivation alone. 。This is also why he values Tang Wulin so much, in his eyes, Tang Wulin is very hopeful to complete the Heavenly Forge in the future and become a new generation of Godsmiths. 。Although there are relatively few blacksmiths, because the Shrek Academy has a focus on recruiting blacksmiths, there are about 20 blacksmiths in total across two grades. 。Everyone is waiting, awaiting the start of their forging. 。Just then, Tang Wulin suddenly spread his arms, and two forging hammers appeared simultaneously in his hands. 。It was his spirit-forged, silver hammer. 。Right-hand hammer taps lightly on the anvil's button, signifying the end of his titanium crystal smelting. 。The forging platform before them split open, and a bright orange titanium crystal slowly rose from the heat. 。Of course, He Xiaopeng across the way could sense his movements. His ears twitched, and his brows furrowed slightly. 。And among the blacksmiths in the audience, many gasped, "How is that so fast?" Although there was a protective barrier on stage separating Tang Wulin and He Xiaopeng from the sounds below, these blacksmiths' faces were already filled with astonishment. 。Especially a few blacksmiths in their first year, including Yang Nianxia, all had expressions of astonishment and disbelief on their faces. 。Titanium's intrinsic brittleness makes its sintering time significantly longer than that of ordinary rare metals. Only by making it more malleable can the forging difficulty be reduced, and it becomes easier to work with. 。However, Tang Wulin's forging time was too short. It was basically no different from forging other rare metals. Could it be that he didn't understand titanium crystals? If that were the case, then things would be troublesome. 。Forging titanium crystals, the most fear is cracking. 。Once it is fractured, the quality of the entire piece of metal will be compromised. That's why it is sent up in its raw ore form to prevent damage during the cutting process. 。Could it be that the squad leader hasn't forged this kind of metal before? Titanium crystals are indeed too rare. 。Tang Wulin didn't feel anything about the situation below. In his eyes, there was only this unique and rare metal rising in front of him. 。The forge closed, revealing a titanium crystal before him. 。Tang Wulin didn't hesitate at all. His left hand, with the spiritually forged silver hammer, swung out immediately. 。Then, Tang Wulin began to show everyone his blacksmithing skills. 。The seemingly heavy spirit-forging silver hammer fell on the titanium crystal, making three clear and crisp sounds. 。Sound insulation is only one-sided, and the audience downstairs can hear the sound coming from the stage. 。The heavy forging hammer fell upon the titanium crystal, producing three crisp "clangs." 。That kind of sound, like a thin needle falling on metal, and then the 。crystal clear and pleasant to the ear, never harsh or heavy 。It's kind of like a percussion instrument. 。The forging is so light. 。Then, Tang Wulin's right hammer followed closely behind. 。The same three crisp sounds of "ding, ding, ding" 。The double hammers are light and nimble, like fine needles gently pricking the anvil. Each strike brings an indescribable lightness.Please vote for monthly tickets and recommendations. 。420/2538770 。 |
