Chapter 697: Forging the Sword Again
In the City Lord’s Mansion, Zheng Chengan and Cheng Buyun also saw the video of Chu Fei slapping Liu Jinhui.

After watching it, Zheng Chengan was thoughtful: "This kid really has something. But the video is made public, which is equivalent to revealing his own trump card. Has this kid given up?"

Cheng Buyun pondered for a while and shook his head slightly: "He probably hasn't given up, but he's probably at a low point. After all, he's a young man, and he wants to fight to the death for a woman, and a woman who is so much worse than him."

Zheng Chengan nodded slightly, "But this time he did reveal a lot of his cards. The sword was snatched away by Liu Jinhui. I'm afraid the little guy doesn't have many cards left."

Cheng Buyun didn't say anything. He just zoomed the video screen to the scene where Liu Jinhui "borrowed a sword from a thatched boat". He watched it carefully for a while, and then kept replaying the clip where Chu Fei used the sword.

After observing for more than ten minutes, when Zheng Chengan couldn't help but speak again, Cheng Buyun said, "This sword is not ordinary."

Zheng Chengan had just read it several times and nodded in agreement, "It's probably not obtained from some secret realm, but it's a trophy from somewhere. This guy has killed a lot of people, so it's normal for him to have some trophies.

I was also attracted by this sword. It could break through the defense of a 12.0 practitioner and cut off Liu Jinhui's finger.

In the end, Liu Jinhui was so moved that he would rather get hurt than not get the sword.

With this sword, Liu Jinhui will be even more difficult to deal with."

Cheng Buyun nodded, "We need to ask Chu Fei about the situation and find out where this sword came from, what advantages and disadvantages it has, and what special abilities it has. Don't let us suffer a loss when we face Liu Jinhui."

…………

Chu Fei didn’t know about the discussion taking place in the City Lord’s Mansion. In fact, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care, because Chu Fei was fully focused on preparing a new sword.

However, this time when forging the sword, Chu Fei planned to use black iron as the foundation and red copper to outline the formation, in the hope of forging a more powerful magic weapon.

The last time the sword was forged, there was only red copper, and the formation was engraved on the red copper using a seal pen, and the effect was very far-fetched.

However, it is not so easy to accurately draw a copper wire formation on the black iron.

When using an electromagnetic furnace to smelt red copper, Chu Fei knew that high temperature would destroy the super-dimensional properties, so any means that utilized or involved high temperature could not be used.

When it comes to low-temperature technology, Chu Fei thinks of ultrasonic welding and cold welding.

The first is ultrasonic welding, which is the easiest.

Chu Fei picked up an ordinary copper wire and stuck it on an ordinary iron sheet. Then his true energy was agitated. As the frequency of the true energy increased, especially when it resonated with copper, the contact parts of copper and iron melted and fused, forming a thin copper coating.

After touching it, Chu Fei frowned slightly.

This kind of ultrasonically welded copper sheet has slight bumps and unevenness. After testing it with the equipment, Chu Fei sighed. The entire weld mark was full of pits and could not be used at all.

To refine a magic sword, the precision must be at the micron level or even nanometer level. This ultrasonic welding is too rough, you can feel it with your hands, and you can see that this method is not feasible.

Therefore, the only option left is cold welding.

Closing his eyes, Chu Fei recalled the principles and technical points of cold welding:
Cold welding is the interaction between two pieces of solid metal atoms and the diffusion of surface atoms; the contact surface must be clean and unobstructed, and then the metal atoms drift randomly under the kinetic energy provided by thermal motion, and slowly penetrate and diffuse with each other in the surface layer, eventually causing the two pieces of metal to bond together.

In the atmosphere, the metal surface will oxidize, hindering the mutual penetration of metal atoms.

To complete the cold welding technology, the best environment is a vacuum environment, followed by an argon environment.

Nitrogen can only be used when there is really no other choice.

In order to increase the efficiency of cold welding, the temperature and pressure can be increased.

However, sophisticated cold welding technology and equipment are not easy to find.

"Let's post a reward first and try. If it doesn't work, we can do it ourselves. And this requires precision machine tools and so on. Tsk, why is it so troublesome to forge a sword!

It feels like solving an entire industrial system problem just to make a bullet!"

Chu Fei was filled with emotion, but it was just emotion. The path of big data cultivation was destined to be a knowledge-intensive development direction.

If knowledge is to be implemented (concrete), it needs equipment. Equipment itself is the embodiment of knowledge; so is the product.

Chu Fei casually sent the information about the purchase reward to the website of the City Lord's Mansion, and then he wrote and drew in the secret room.

If you want to use black iron and red copper to forge a long sword, a lot of data needs to be recalculated, which is basically equivalent to a redesign.

In fact, Chu Fei already had some ideas after obtaining the black iron. Now he can redesign it and complete it quickly.

The design has been completed, but that is only one-tenth of the work; the next step is things like production methods and process flow.

Just like building a house, drawing the design is only the first step in building the house. Next, you need to calculate various parameters, materials, construction technology for each link, and the engineering machinery and labor required in the construction.

Completing the design is only the first step in forging the sword, the first step in a long march of thousands of miles.

Next, Chu Fei was going to continue thinking about the production process. This production process could be simulated and debugged in the computer virtual world.

During the design process, Chu Fei couldn't help but think divergently: What should I name the new sword?
The first sword was originally intended to be named "Yuchang", the name of a legendary sword; but in the end it was abandoned, mainly because Chu Fei felt that the design was not good enough.

Should we give the new sword a domineering name?

For example, revenge.

As Chu Fei's thoughts wandered, he inadvertently thought of the design problem of the martial arts.

Recently, I obtained two martial arts from the Lord of Thunder, the Spring Thunder Kung Fu and the Fiery Sun Kung Fu.

When these two techniques were designed, there was a core, which was to simulate spring thunder or scorching sun. Although the performance of the techniques was somewhat poor, the design process of the techniques aroused Chu Fei's thinking.

To be precise, it's not just Thunder Lu Cheng's skills, Chu Fei's own core skill 'Dawn', that has a similar situation, and even many low-level skills that Chu Fei has studied have this situation.

A practice must have a core; the entire practice is centered around the core to "simulate" a certain function.

Although the simulation of the technique is very poor, it still has a core.

The reason why the Dawn Technique is so excellent is because it simulates so well.

Since the martial arts can be like this, can the sword also be endowed with a core?
Thinking of this, Chu Fei's eyes flashed, "Perhaps, this is the design idea of ​​a more advanced magic weapon, so that the magic weapon has its own core, that is, the soul."

"Why does a technique have a core and try to simulate this core? To put it bluntly, it is still a question of law and soul.

According to existing theoretical explanations, the human soul is negative entropy, a group of organically operated orders;

The core of cosmic brain practice is to make the cosmic brain a kind of order;
The theoretical limit of big data practice is to allow humans to evolve into pure data life, but the fundamental purpose is to become a kind of "order body".

Eventually, the cosmic brain and the soul merge, giving the soul certain characteristics, such as mastering the law of thunder, etc. "

“Okay, it’s too far-fetched to think about this, but it’s a very good research direction.

Define a core for the sword, and then redesign the formation pattern based on this core.

A bit difficult, but it seems good.

How about giving it a try?"

"How do you give a formation or a sword special rules? This actually involves some art, and you can draw on art and music.

After the formation is activated, there is energy fluctuation. Isn’t this energy fluctuation a different kind of sound, the sound of energy?

The so-called color is the different frequencies of light. Whether it is sound or color, the core is the issue of frequency.

I also have wind perception, electromagnetic perception, etc., and the core of them is also frequency.

The core of chip technology is actually frequency.”

Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Fei's mind, and eventually they gradually merged and formed a self-consistent logical system. Although this system was a bit rough, Chu Fei finally found a way to solve it.

"In fact, this is somewhat similar to the technology of targeted chip design. However, my 'chip' is not used for computers, but for big data cultivation and combat.

However, we don’t have a clear idea of ​​how to design a weapon from scratch, and it will take a long time, so this plan can only be put on hold for now.”

While thinking, Chu Fei continued to design the production process of the sword.

Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, it was night. The doorbell rang in the computer room, and Wu Jiajia's avatar appeared on the screen.

Chu Fei stood up and opened the door. Wu Jiajia looked at Chu Fei with a bit of burning eyes, but she spoke very quickly: "We have accumulated a lot of cold welding technology and related equipment for the reward. Do you want to go and have a look?"

A lot of accumulation means that we have more than twenty kinds of technologies and more than two hundred devices.

When Chu Fei saw this form, he was a little stunned. But then he realized that cold welding is not a particularly advanced technology, but "high-precision cold welding technology" is very difficult.

Chu Fei selected for a while, packed all the cold welding technologies, and selected 20 cold welding equipment. All of them were paid with medicine.

By the way, we also hired more than 30 technicians and even researchers who are familiar with cold welding equipment.

With the help of technical personnel and a large amount of information and equipment to practice with, Chu Fei designed the required cold welding equipment in just two days.

Afterwards, they dismantled the old equipment to obtain chips and other core components. With everyone's joint efforts, they assembled a new cold welding equipment in two days with an accuracy of up to 2 microns.

2 microns is more than enough. After all, a sword is not a chip. The width of the array pattern designed this time is about 0.1 mm at the thinnest and more than 1 mm at the thickest.

The last formation design was too long-winded and the production was too complicated. This time, Chu Fei had experience and deleted a lot of unnecessary logical structures, retaining only the core structure that was helpful for combat.

Everything was planned, and five days after the assassination, Chu Fei finally started to forge the sword.

Now, the entire secret room is sprayed with waterproof sealant. After Chu Fei entered the door, he sealed the door from the inside to ensure that there was no air leakage. At the same time, nitrogen was continuously input from the outside to form a positive pressure slightly higher than the outside.

A studio with nearly 99.9% nitrogen appeared. Chu Fei, the practitioner, held his breath and did not breathe at all.

After checking that everything was fine, Chu Fei officially started work.

The electromagnetic furnace was turned on, and the first step was to smelt and purify the black iron. Chu Fei was familiar with this step, and in just two hours he purified 1.8 kilograms of high-quality black iron.

After purification, the black iron is silvery white and clear, with the texture of jade.

Black iron, like red copper, cannot be oxidized on the surface. But not 100%. No matter how well it is purified, it cannot be 100% pure, so oxygen still needs to be isolated during the sword-making process, and even carbon dioxide in the air needs to be filtered.

Fortunately, here at the Pharmaceutical Research Center, there are not too many ways to process the air.

Then follow the steps and first make... the seal engraving pen, which needs to be installed on the cold welding equipment.

The last time I used a seal carving pen, it was made of red copper. This time, it was made of black iron mixed with red copper. I used the seal carving pen for more than an hour, and the effect was significantly improved.

Then we started to make thin iron sheets. The copper sheet we made last time was 0.012mm thick and the engraving accuracy was 0.01mm. But in actual experience, the effect was not good.

The patterns of the formation were too fine, so the "resistance" was too great, affecting the input of true energy into the sword.

So this time Chu Fei learned his lesson, mainly because he had experience and data, and he also knew how to do it, so the thickness of the iron sheet coated this time was still 0.012 mm, but the width of the seal carving pattern reached 1 mm.

This is a bold improvement, and of course it is also due to the presence of two materials.

Red copper has better conductivity to the true essence, while black iron has better hardness, toughness and plasticity. The combination of the two materials unexpectedly forms a result of combining hardness and softness, and the intersection of yin and yang.

The direct manifestation of the thickening of the array patterns is: increased energy conduction and reduced resistance.

In addition, the difficulty of processing is reduced. The difficulty of engraving a 0.01 mm array is completely different from that of engraving a 1 mm array.

What's more, this time Chu Fei also has cold welding equipment. Except for the initial data input, the rest is basically semi-automated.

The reason why it is semi-automated is that the equipment is still too simple and Chu Fei needs to supervise and adjust it at the same time.

There were many errors during the entire production process, but this was all within Chu Fei's expectations; and as production progressed, the errors became fewer and fewer, and the degree of automation became higher and higher.

This time, it only took half a day, and a brand new sword without a handle appeared in front of Chu Fei.

The blade was silver, but with faint red lines visible, and upon closer inspection, it had an indescribable beauty. It didn't look like a weapon, but more like a work of art.

The sword's technology is similar to the previous ones, but it has been increased from 750 to 775 layers. The extra 25 layers are all used for energy conduction, increasing the sword's affinity for true qi.

The remaining 750 layers are still 150 layers each of diamond structure, primary barrier, and flow system mechanics, which means each is superimposed 150 times.

But what is different from the last time is that Chu Fei’s knowledge, skills, cultivation, thoughts and insights have all improved, and his understanding of manifolds and formations has also deepened a lot, so the architecture has been optimized a lot.

In particular, a large amount of architectural logic that is not related to combat has been discarded, making the remaining architecture simpler and more efficient.

Therefore, the improvement of the long sword this time is still very significant.

The first improvement is the reduction of weight.

The size of the sword is the same as before, without any change; but because a large amount of black iron is used, and the density of black iron is lower than that of red copper, the weight of the new sword is about 1.6 kilograms - the original 1.8 kilograms.

The lower the weight, the lower the inertia, the faster and more flexible the speed. Just by a quality issue, the sensitivity of the new long sword has increased by 11.1%!

The second improvement is basic attributes such as toughness and sharpness.

Replacing red copper with black iron can significantly improve hardness, sharpness, toughness, etc., and the conservative estimate is that it has increased by 50%!

The third improvement is the enhancement of the conduction of true energy and the reduction of resistance.

The previous red copper sword could conduct a maximum of 100 calories of energy, with an efficiency of 40% to 50%. The higher the conducted energy, the lower the efficiency. To output 100 calories of energy, 250 calories needed to be input, and the excess would be directly dissipated. Any energy output exceeding 100 calories would also be completely dissipated.

The current long sword has a conduction capacity of up to 700 cards, and the efficiency has been increased to over 96%!

All I can say is that it is a complete qualitative change.

Energy transmission has been increased by 700%, and the efficiency has almost doubled; comprehensive calculation shows that the new long sword has increased the energy transmission effect by 1400%.

The third improvement is in algorithms, knowledge, and architecture.

The new architecture is more concise and efficient. Under Chu Fei's new design, the 775-layer architecture gradually merged into a whole. Although it is still a little imperfect, it is an improvement after all.

This fusion method borrowed the technique used when the Spring Thunder Technique broke through 12.0 - roll up, roll up the 775-layer structure.

This roll-up not only involves physical concepts, but more importantly, mathematical concepts, realizing "continuity" through formulas and numbers!
The improvement brought by algorithm optimization is as much as 300%!

Chu Fei gently stroked the sword and smiled, but as he smiled, the smile turned into a grim grin.

The sword has been drawn, and it's time to pay with blood!
