Chapter 693: The knife and the man
Chui Xue is in Fang Bing’s hand.
It has a black handle and a white blade. The pattern on the blade is an inverted small cross. It is made by sword craftsmen who have been hammering it for thousands of times. It is a real treasure in the world.
"I heard that there is little iron in Japan and the quality of the iron is not good. It is not easy to hammer out such a precious sword."
Fang Bie said.
He swung his sword in the air, and a long and narrow sword energy roared out. It was white in color and instantly swallowed up the big tree in front of him. Then the big tree was cut in half and slowly fell down.
The formation of sword energy is mainly related to the internal strength of the sword holder, but it is also closely related to the sharpness of the sword itself.
And there is no doubt that this blowing snow is really sharp.
Even in China, it is a rare and good knife, but in Japan, such a knife is a bit unbelievable.
But in fact, there may be many swords of Fubuki's level in Japan.
For example, the sharpness of Yan Jiu's Liuying might be better than that of Chuixue.
"Japan is short of iron and coal." Behind Fang Bing, Yan Yu said: "The grade of iron ore itself is low, and the steel-making uses a fuel called pine charcoal, which burns The temperature is not high enough and it is not durable enough."
"So the iron finally smelted is as fluffy and porous as a sponge, so it is called sponge iron. Such iron will be rejected even if it is used for making hoes, but Japanese craftsmen prefer to use it. This kind of iron is tempered to produce the so-called jade steel, and then these sharp and famous knives are forged from the jade steel." "
Probably some hardships, the taste of jade." Fang Bie nodded and said, "But their jade Steel still belongs to the category of steel-
making a hundred times." The boy is also an expert in steel-making. Although there is an idiom that steel can be made a hundred times, in fact, steel-making a hundred times is a very primitive steel-making technique. It originated from steel-frying. The principle Steel bars are continuously forged and heated to a red-hot state in order to reduce the carbon content and impurities inside them. It is said that each forging makes the bar lighter and the weight remains unchanged after being forged a hundred times. This is steelmaking a hundred times.
"Yes, but these Japanese craftsmen have evolved Bailian into Qiandan. After all, their jade steel is only used to make these famous swords to be handed down from generation to generation, not as weapons that ordinary people can use, so it can be used Spend more energy on continuous improvement and practice."
"Our traditional Hundred Steel Refining is over at the stage of Hundred Refining." Yan Yu pondered: "But Japan's Hundred Steel Refining is just the beginning." "
They These jade steel sheets will be reheated, and then heavy steel hammers will be used to beat them into thin iron sheets, and then these hot iron sheets will be placed in the cold water to quickly quench them, so that the parts that are not uniform and tough enough will be It will be brittle and peeled off, and those parts that are not broken will be collected again and operated repeatedly. This process will not end until the purity of the entire jade steel sheet is close to unity." "Why do you know so much about these?"
Fang Don't be tempted to say.
This is something he doesn't even know.
What the young man could understand was that the Japanese sword was still very powerful.
"Because I went to find the most outstanding swordsmith in this country. He once made his most famous sword for the Japanese sword master." Yan Yu said slowly.
"So you originally wanted to learn or steal this knife-forging technique?" Fang Bie asked.
"You are right to say that. After all, you can turn decay into magical skills. No matter how many times you use it, you will never get tired of it." Yan Yu said softly: "But after knowing the forging process of this famous sword, I I quickly gave up on such an idea."
"Using an excessive amount of man-hours and materials, and letting the best craftsmen take charge, the sword, which is plainly just a weapon that is about to become outdated, is carved to a state of near perfection. The price/performance ratio is really good. It's too low."
"With the same time and resources, I can make hundreds of swords of inferior quality, of course." Yan Yu paused: "This requires the cooperation of our craftsmanship in China." "Or in other
words To forge lighter and more powerful firearms that can easily knock down enemies fifty steps away." "
After all, although swords are good, warriors who can match these swords are so rare that a famous sword can be passed down for several generations. "
You think a lot more than me." Fang Bie smiled.
He is also a knife forger.
The swords he uses are basically forged by himself.
To be honest, most of the swords used by Fang Bie are not as good as the Fubuki in his hand.
But every weapon Fang Bie forged was the most comfortable for him, and he didn't feel bad even if he lost it.
"But at least I understand something now." Fang Bie said.
"What's going on?" Yan Yu couldn't help but ask.
"This sword may be more precious than I thought, but that guy Shibata Heiji left this sword here." Fang Bie looked at Fubuki in his hand and said slowly: "So he will definitely come to redeem this sword. A knife."
"This is inevitable." Yan Yu said calmly.
"So he will come again, and it will be after meeting Oda Nobunaga." Fang Bie looked at Yan Yu.
"What do you mean, Oda Nobunaga is a great guy?" Yan Yu turned his head and thought for a moment: "I have collected information on all Japanese daimyo. Among these daimyo, Oda Nobunaga is not outstanding. , he is at best..."
Yan Yu looked at Fang Bie and came up with an adjective to describe Oda Nobunaga: "A little deviant."
"But such a deviant person still has a firm grip on his father after his death. Owari Country." Fang Bie looked at Yan Yu and said: "Owari is just a small country. Compared to the whole of Japan, it is small and rich. This is the original sin of all small countries." "But in the hands of Oda Nobunaga,
this Not only was the small country not annexed, but it gradually became stronger."
"It's not like something a deviant can do."
Yan Yu touched his chin: "You mean, his deviant just made people A pretense for others to be careless?"
"I have heard many ridiculous things about him. Recently, he often wears women's clothes and sings popular operas in his homestead. If this is placed in China, then it is completely unethical. Foolish king."
"If this were in China, this would be an act of social death." Fang Bie shook his head and said, "But I don't think this is a pretense to make others careless. It's better to say that he never disdains Covering up your unique hobbies is too straightforward."
After saying this, Fang Bi looked at Yan Yu: "Can you believe it? If I were to rank among the current Japanese daimyo." "
Oda Nobunaga might be The person who has the best chance of unifying the entire Japan."
Yan Yu looked at Fang Bie and felt that he was not joking.
She shook her head quietly.
"I don't believe it."
