This steel ingot was native to India. After it was spread to Damascus, it was processed into a famous Persian scimitar by local craftsmen.

According to historical records, a beautifully forged Persian scimitar can cut a light scarf into two pieces from the air with one knife.

At that time, the ancient Central Asian cavalry did not even need to wave weapons when fighting the enemy with the unparalleled Arabian horses and Damascus scimitars. They just needed to hold the scimitar and gallop past the other side, and they could cut off the enemy's head.

This Uzi steel was mined in the 17th century, so this extremely sharp and beautiful weapon became a terrifying sound. Unexpectedly, today, it fell into Shen Mo's hands!

Shen Mo built a stove in the secluded backyard of his house, bought all the blacksmith's belongings, and began to forge this treasure knife at his house.

In history, the technology of forging this uz steel ingot from beginning to end was mastered by a very small number of Damascus craftsmen. Until this material was extinct, these techniques were not known to outsiders.

Of course, in modern times, this is not a secret.

In fact, the reason why Uzi Steel is so sharp is that it contains countless tiny crystals in its internal structure. This crystal looks like snowflakes, which is also the origin of its name "Snowflake Iron".

On the other hand, in the microstructure, this crystal will form a sharp serrated blade on the tool. Therefore, it will be extremely sharp and solid.

In fact, the secret to forging wuz steel is very simple. The temperature of smelting this wuz steel ingot must be controlled below one thousand degrees. Otherwise, the crystal will melt in the steel.

Therefore, low-temperature forging is also required when forging it. As long as it is heated too much, the material will become a piece of ordinary iron, and this extremely rare piece of snowflake iron is worthless.

Shen Mo used a charcoal furnace to heat the steel ingots, and specially selected for forging at night. Because in the dark, he could clearly see the temperature on the surface of the steel. Whenever the steel was heated to a slight dark redness, he began to come out forging.

While strictly controlling the temperature, he carefully calculated the carbon content of this material.

Continuous heating and forging will cause the carbon components in the Uzi steel to be slowly precipitated. If the heating and forging are excessive, the carbon content will be too low after it is built. Then the steel will become cooked iron. It will not only lose its toughness, but will also become very soft.

After Shen Mo patiently forged for seven or eight days, the knife gradually formed, and the carbon content in the material reached about 12%.

In his previous life, Shen Mo had been undercover in an underground arms factory. During that nearly two years, he learned a lot of knowledge about steel materials and military chemistry.

What’s more interesting is that this military factory is not a joint industry after all, and it is a large group-type factory. When processing arms, many of the techniques are launched by simple and simple methods.

These crafts that looked very rough at that time, and could even be said to be shoddy, just lowered the threshold for Shen Mo to copy these crafts in ancient times.

After Shen Mo was basically formed by forging the steel knife, he used the last forging to refine its appearance. Then he quenched it by low-temperature cold quenching.

After that, he checked the blade body and estimated that the carbon content of this knife was about 10%, which is the level of steel in later generations of 1095.

After that, he forged the blade again with cold forging at room temperature - this is a craft that even Damascus craftsmen did not master!

In the Southern Song Dynasty, only the armor sheets on the "Corrors" in the Western Xia Dynasty were made of cold forged. This process can make the hardness of steel materials reach a higher level!

After the steel knife was forged, Shen Mo carefully polished the blade to make it shine. The blade surface was smooth and smooth like a pool of autumn water.

But this is not the last step. The knife at this time is not the world-famous Damascus knife.

Shen Mo bought a pound of yellow alum in the medicine shop - this thing is really not cheap. Yellow alum is a tiny in Chinese medicine. It has the effects of detoxifying and killing insects and treating evil sores. But in fact, it is sulfate crystals.

After he melted the alum into the water, he made a pot of sulfate solution that looked like strong tea.

Shen Mo used these sulfate solutions to fill a bamboo tube, and then put the forged steel knife in it.

After about 36 hours of pickling, Shen Mo pulled the steel knife out of the bamboo tube and cleaned it with water. In a blink of an eye, a dazzling sword as bright as snowflakes and silver appeared in front of him!

Shen Mo put the knife in front of him and saw stars on the blade, covered with countless crystal patterns. These patterns were wrapped in strands, twisting the winch on the blade, emitting a dazzling light like a nebula!

"That's great!" Shen Mo couldn't help but feel ecstatic, and couldn't help turning it over and looking at it again and again.

If you want to talk about the blade pattern on Damascus steel, it is really hard to come by. What you create is entirely based on the state of the craftsmen at that time.

There is even a saying that if a craftsman has a moment of confusion and is not pious enough when forging, it will make the blade pattern unrecognizable.

It is precisely because of this that the best "Mu/Han/Mu/De Ladder" among the Damascus swords represents the state of the craftsmen at that time. They were calm from beginning to end, and they were forged with an extremely pious state of mind.

However, the blade pattern of the treasure sword in Shen Mo's hand was like a giant dragon rising into the air. The winding and undulating dragon body was smooth and natural, full of power. The mist-like crystals on the blade made it appear and appear faintly, as if passing through the dragon's clouds.

At that time, Shen Mo decided to name the knife "Tenglong"!

Shen Mo checked it carefully again, and the perfect performance on the blade proved that he was almost flawless when forging. Shen Mo was proud for a moment and couldn't help but laugh!

After adding the cold forging technology, Shen Mo was very sure that his sword that combines ancient techniques and modern craftsmanship is not as good as the best Damascus knife. If he meets Monia, who holds a sword again, he can cut against him without hesitation.

If Monia was still alive, watching the sword in his hand being cut by others, I wonder what he would be scared to be? Thinking of this, Shen Mo was secretly proud.

After the production is completed, the blade is two feet and seven inches long, one inch and four cents wide, and weighs two kilograms and seven taels. The blade is straight and pointed like a goose feather. The blade blows the hair and breaks the hair. What a peerless treasure knife!
