I am Really A Blacksmith Chapter 12: Making Jaffa arrows
"Smith"
Greedy yelled directly. At this time, he obviously didn't have to worry about Smith's attitude.
"Do you remember the first time I asked you, what kind of things are profitable?"
Smith nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I remember, this is it."
As Smith said, he pointed to a place where there were several arrows.
"Arrow?"
"Yes, arrows are different from other equipment. Arrows are consumable equipment. However, the price of ordinary arrows is very low. Although the consumption is high, the profit is not high, but this kind of arrow is not an ordinary arrow"
While speaking, Smith went to the arrowhead and picked up one to show Greedy, and then continued: "This is a special arrowhead, made by mixing a small amount of "Jaffa" with steel to make it Able to penetrate an enemy's defenses slightly, ignoring a small portion of the defense and doing more damage."
Generally, equipment that can penetrate defenses is not cheap! Even if just a little bit.
For example, the forest raid team that greedy wanted to join two days ago, the forest guardian has a high defense, this kind of equipment will be very useful, not only the forest guardian, in the SA system, there are many monsters with high defense , compared to blindly accumulating attack power, it is better to have a little penetration, so the value of this kind of equipment is often very high.
"Jaffa?"
Greedy shows great interest.
Seeing that Greed was very interested, Smith smiled, and then took out a light purple mineral from the warehouse.
"Jaffa is a mineral with low oxygen content. It is very easy to smelt. It is superior to iron. However, it also has disadvantages. Its durability and strength are not high. However, when it is mixed with steel, the durability Greatly increased, the penetrating power is greatly increased, and it can cause additional damage to the enemy"
"If he is so powerful, he must be very expensive, right?"
"Two gold per kilogram, even the top iron ore, is just a cheap stone in front of Jaffa"
"Uh... Since it's so expensive, wouldn't it be a loss?"
"Haha, of course not, each Jaffa arrowhead needs very little amount of Jaffa. Let's put it this way, the cost of a Jaffa arrowhead is about 3 silver, but the price is usually around 6 silver, which is almost double Moreover, the demand for arrows in Bailan Village is very high, this is a good business, how about it, do you want to learn?"
Smith looked at Greed and said.
With double the profit, greed will naturally move.
"Show me the arrow"
Smith hands the arrow to Greed.
Greedy took the arrow, and then used the appraisal skill.
【Jaffa Arrow】
Rating: OK
Attack Power: 20-26
An arrow made by mixing a small amount of Jaffa with steel.
Due to the combined effect of Jaffa and steel, it has high penetrating power and can ignore part of the enemy's defense.
Weight 0.1.
[Hidden attribute does not exist]
[You have mastered the material composition, production method and creator's intention of the Jaffa arrow]
[Your understanding of the Jaffa arrow is 89%, and you can skillfully use the Jaffa arrow]
"Huh? You can't understand it 100%? Because you don't understand it 100%, so you didn't add a production method. It seems that there is a special manufacturing place for the Jaffa arrow. It seems that you can only use dismantling skills."
Greed said in the heart.
Generally, low-level equipment has the effect of Pagma's successor. Greedy only needs to take a look at it. If you can't get the production method by just looking at it, then using the dismantling skill can generally solve it.
But dismantling skills are not free.
Dismantling the Jaffa Arrow requires 6 silver.
Greedy was about to spend 6 silver to disassemble the Jaffa arrowhead, but suddenly thought, since there is an old blacksmith, why not ask him directly how to make it? In this way, 6 silver can be saved, and he also wants to use some effects of Pagma to try the smelting technology.
"How to make this kind of arrow?"
Seeing greedy and wanting to learn, Smith is very happy.
"First of all, we need to learn the smelting technology, come, let me show you"
Smith began by pouring a certain proportion of iron, carbon and limestone in front of the blast furnace.
Smith's face and upper body were soaked with sweat, he successfully controlled the hot air at the bottom of the furnace, started to burn charcoal, and the iron ore began to turn into molten iron.
The role of limestone is to separate iron and impurities to form slag.
Smith began to filter the scum. Black debris fades away from the bottom of the furnace, and the molten iron becomes more and more visible, and when the iron solidifies, it becomes pig iron.
Pig iron is very hard, but brittle because it contains a lot of carbon,
At this time, a steelmaking process is needed to reduce his carbon.
After a series of operations, Smith asked the greedy side, and said, "Do you know the smelting technology?"
Greedy nodded, with the effect of Pagma's successor, he found that these techniques are very easy for him to learn, and he can almost fully understand them just by looking at them.
Smith continued: "Now you see, Jaffa is easy to see. Jaffa ore has very few impurities and has a low melting point, so it is easier to refine than iron ore. The ratio of Jaffa to carbon and limestone is 12:2:4."
【Mineral Smelting】
Difficulty: E
Mineral smelting is the basis of production. Smith gave you this job. He dreamed that you could become a blacksmith.
Task condition: successfully smelt Jaffa Ore.
Task reward: Affinity with Smith +30, experience +80, 3 pieces of smelted Jaffa.
Mission failed: It is not easy to completely smelt minerals at the beginning, so come on.
If you fail, Smith will understand.
There is no reason to refuse, and Greed naturally accepted the task.
Smith prepared the furnace for greed, and added: "If you fail, don't fret, when you see it, be prepared, in fact it is not easy to smelt, you may need to spend Some time to study."
Greed put the ingredients in the furnace and put his feet on the bellows. At this point, a transparent arrow appears pointing to one side of the bellows.
"Huh? What is this?"
Greed does not understand.
He tried to step on the place where the arrow pointed, and the arrow flashed repeatedly, giving him a proper rhythm.
【Due to the temperature change, you can now feel the change in the furnace temperature, 30/31/31.5/32...】
[Pagma's successors are very sensitive to temperature changes. If there is a furnace nearby, you can accurately measure the temperature inside the furnace]
Greedy was a little surprised. Sure enough, as he thought, Pagma's successors are not only easy to master the equipment manufacturing method, but also have superb smelting skills.
Greed puts his hand on the stove.
Through the warm temperature outside the furnace, he can accurately judge the temperature inside the furnace.
700, 720, 740...
The continuously rising temperature keeps updating in the notification window, reminding him.
1000 degrees!
It is said that iron ore is suitable for smelting at a temperature of 1150 degrees to 1250 degrees, but Jaffa is more suitable for smelting in a range of 950 degrees to 1000 degrees. The notification window indicates that the temperature has reached 1000, so there is no need to increase the temperature .
Jaffa is slowly melting. Compared with iron ore, there are fewer impurities, so its luster is strong from the beginning.
Greedy quickly cleaned up the impurities, and the transparent arrow told him the direction to move the bellows. He did it much more skillfully than Smith.
"cough cough"
Seeing this, Smith was so surprised that he almost stopped breathing.
After a while, Smith's astonishment gradually recovered, and he asked tremblingly, "Why are you so good at smelting?"
His pale face looked like he was about to fall down.
"Could it be that you were a master smelter before? Have you ever smelted before?"
"Uh... how should I put it, this is my first smelting"
Greedy replied slowly.
Greedy words were like thunder, and Smith retreated a few steps as if he had seen a ghost.
"This is ridiculous, this is amazing, are you Pagma reincarnated?"
"I am not reincarnated, I am the successor, haha"
Greedy replied in his heart.
After a while, the smelting of Jaffa was completed.
[Smelting success]
Smith said with a warm smile: "It's really wonderful."
[Affinity with Smith +30]
[Experience +80]
【Your level has risen】
【You are now level 2】
There is nothing more joyful than upgrading.
Smith poured the smelted Jaffa ore into molten iron, mixed it at a ratio of 1:12, mixed it 6 times, poured it into a mold and waited for the Jaffa arrow to take shape, which took about 40 minutes.
【You have obtained 3 pieces of Jaffa】
A piece of Jaffa weighs about 700 grams to 1000 grams, 300 grams 1 gold.
Then Smith took out the Jaffa arrow from the mold. After a series of productions such as hammering, the Jaffa arrow was finally completed. Greedy witnessed the entire production process, so he could fully understand it without dismantling skills.
[Your understanding of the Jaffa arrow is now 100, and you can use the Jaffa arrow perfectly]
【You already know how to make Jaffa arrows】
When the whole process was completed, Smith walked up to Greedy with the Jaffa Arrow and asked, "How is it? Can you make it?"
"Of course"
Greedy for straightforward answers.
If it was yesterday, he would not have believed Greedy's words, but now it is different, he has seen Greedy's superb skills, so naturally he has no doubts about his words.
[Create Jaffa Arrow]
Difficulty: D
The process of mixing two metals is never easy ~IndoMTL.com~ requires a superb arrowhead, so it is difficult for a novice blacksmith to create a Jaffa arrowhead.
But Smith trusted you so much that he left you an expensive reward.
Mission Conditions: Make 100 Jaffa Arrows.
Task reward: Max affinity with Smith, experience +300, Jaffa arrow 50.
Mission failed: Smith's disappointment.
Special: If Smith is disappointed, you may not be assigned tasks for a period of time.
Since Smith has a high affinity with Greed, he provides Greed with all the materials for making 100 Jaffa Arrows for free.
Greedy started crafting Jaffa Arrows.
However, there is one step in the production process that differs from Smith's.
Quenching!
Seeing that greed quenched the arrow, Smith said with some disappointment: "Well... I didn't expect you to quench it, but I don't know how you taught yourself before, but why do you want to quench the arrow? Quenching His arrows will become less and less durable, and when concentrating on enemy armor, he may shatter the enemy's armor instead of piercing the enemy's body!"
"I intend to temper and reheat the metal, then gradually reduce the quenching properties, reduce the brittleness of the metal, and finally increase the strength of the metal, however, this is a very complicated process that may take a lot of time"
Hearing this, Smith frowned and said: "You plan to spend the whole night making arrows. I don't know why you want to do this. Arrows are just consumables and can only be used once on the battlefield. It costs such a big price Is it necessary to make an arrow?"
"If I make a more powerful and perfect arrow, I can sell it at a higher price"
Smith didn't know if it was right to be greedy, but he didn't say anything else.
