Chapter 298
The middle-aged man was named Bet, and he was the steward of a small caravan. They loaded too much cargo this time, causing their truck to break down. One of the very important parts was damaged, so it could not continue to operate. In terms of delivery time, they need to pay huge liquidated damages.

But because this part was special, they didn't have a spare. After finding out that there was an official blacksmith in the village, he quickly found the workshop, hoping that Li Wei could remake a part for them.

However, Li Wei was not in the workshop.

Bate suddenly looked at Gao Xing and said, "You are also a blacksmith."

Gao Xing replied: "If you want me to forge things for you, I'm afraid I will disappoint you. I'm just an apprentice blacksmith."

"At this point, there is no other way." Bate gritted his teeth, then bowed and begged: "Please, I will prepare the reward. Even if you fail in forging, we will bear the consequences ourselves."

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Xing agreed to him: "Show me the forging blueprint first."

"Oh, okay!" Bate took out a folded drawing from a pocket of his jacket, which showed a very high-precision composite part.

There is a special category of blacksmiths. They don't pursue the ultimate play and various characteristics of materials. They choose to combine various materials into a complete tool and turn it into a machine to operate.

Even an ordinary blacksmith can combine tens of thousands of small parts into a sufficiently powerful machine. This kind of blacksmith is called a mechanical blacksmith.

They are regarded as outliers by the mainstream blacksmiths, and they are considered to have gone on an evil path, but they are very popular among commoners.

Being able to use cheap materials to make enough practical living utensils, with this method, although they are not accepted by mainstream blacksmiths, they are not excluded, and the top blacksmiths among them even have the title of "craftsman".

Closer to home, the part drawings Bate gave Gao Xing did not have high requirements for materials. Even ordinary metal materials can be made, and even if the quality passes the standard, some relatively hard ores can also be used as substitutes.

But its difficulty lies not in the material, but in the precision, the ultimate precision, even if the error is one millimeter, it cannot be successfully built. This is a combination of five small parts. If there is a problem with one of them, the assembly Failure requires reinvention.

If it is a traditional blacksmith, even an official blacksmith will find it difficult to see such a blueprint, because traditional blacksmiths are not very interested in measurement units, and they will never characterize an item based on the blueprint. Most of them rely on the stream-of-consciousness construction method, and what they are doing is pursuing the ultimate play of materials and the characteristics of combinations.

But Gao Xing was different. The moment he saw the blueprint, he was very sure that he could forge it.

Seeing that Gao Xing didn't say a word, Bet was a little uneasy. He looked at Gao Xing and said, "What do you think?"

Gao Xing picked up the blueprint and walked towards the workshop: "Come with me."

Add iron ore and turn on the furnace. This time, Gao Xing does not have a mold to use, so he needs to rely on the power of forging to shape the shape.

Twist the switch, the molten iron flows out, Gao Xing's left hand pulls it slightly, an invisible force pulls the molten iron to form a ball that appears above the forging table, the material properties of the molten iron are all captured by Gao Xing under the feedback of the forging force Perceived.

Gao Xing recalled one of the materials in that blueprint. At a certain moment, the molten iron formed and solidified instantly. He raised his right hand high, and a hammer appeared. .

The hammer fell, without leaning to one side, and hit the place Gao Xing expected, even with the same force. A light flashed in his eyes, and he kept adjusting the angle. The speed of the hammering became faster and faster. One breath, one part is forged.

Gao Xing did not stop, and the furnace was still operating. This time, Gao Xing directly pulled four balls of molten iron. The moment the parts solidified, his right hand kept falling back, and the melodious knocking sound seemed to echo rhythmically throughout the forging .

Bate, who was watching from the sidelines, kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, not sure if it was because of the heat or other reasons.

With the sound of the last knock, five exquisite parts appeared on the forging table.

Gao Xing picked up the five parts and started to assemble them one by one according to the drawings. The first one, the second one... all the way to the fifth one were successfully assembled.

"Unexpectedly, it really succeeded."

Bate held this part in both hands, arousing boundless turmoil in his heart. Only he knew his mental journey this time. Although this part seems simple, even a formal blacksmith needs to fumble several times to forge it. Come out, they had given up hope that the machinery that carried the goods in this wilderness was broken.

But he found out that there was an official blacksmith in this remote village, so he came here with hope, but he was disappointed that the blacksmith was not here. With his last hope, he chose the blacksmith in front of him. The apprentice decided to become a living doctor.

Originally, he thought it would be a miracle even if Gao Xing built it within twenty times, but he didn't expect Gao Xing to succeed in just one attempt, and it was so delicate that it was almost exactly the same as the drawing.

Gao Xing wiped his hands on the side and said: "I made it according to the dimensions of the drawing. I don't know if it will work or not. You can take it back and try it quickly. If it doesn't work, I can help you make another one."

"It will definitely work, my lord. This is a reward. Thank you very much for your help. I still have something to do, so I will leave first." Bate took out a small bag and put it in Gao Xing's hand, then bowed and saluted He took the parts and left.

Gao Xing wanted to refuse, but Bet left after finishing speaking. He didn't insist. He opened the bag and took a look. There were probably several purple oval coins. The front of these coins was in the shape of a hammer, and the back was a Avatar of person.

This avatar represents the "Purple Gold Forging Sage". He is the forging sage of the country where Gao Xing is located. , symbolizing his personal credibility.

This shows how high the status of blacksmiths is in this world, and the purchasing power of purple gold coins is very high, especially if they are circulated in the hands of blacksmiths, they can be exchanged for some better materials.

Shaking his head, Gao Xing threw the bag on the workbench and continued to practice forging skills.
