"Young Master, if we put one thousand kilograms on it, it will cover the entire surface of the anvil, and our steam forging hammer won't be able to operate properly.
Besides, these iron blocks haven't been softened with fire, so forging them will be very inconvenient."
Blacksmith Yuan felt a sense of confusion at Quan Yi's actions.
The giant anvil in the center was designed to be used with the large cylindrical iron hammer hanging from the ceiling.
Steam forging hammer.
This was the epoch-making product that Quan Yi created step by step using his limited common sense and countless experiments.
The creation of the steam engine was actually a natural process.
Because the Yuan family's blacksmith shop didn't have a river running through it, they couldn't use water-powered forging hammers like the other Quan family blacksmith shops to save manpower and time.
In addition, more than half of their blacksmiths had been transferred away, and the lack of manpower meant that they had to spend more time forging and refining materials.
Feeling a little inconvenienced, Quan Yi started working with Blacksmith Yuan to develop a machine that could automatically hammer using the kinetic energy of steam.
With it, they could easily forge large objects in a small blacksmith shop with only a few people.
Since then, everyone in the blacksmith shop saw Quan Yi as a god.
However, Quan Yi wasn't here today to use the steam forging hammer to make tools.
Quan Yi smiled calmly, "Blacksmith Yuan, I'm not here to forge tools today. As for what I'm going to do, you'll see soon enough."
Quan Yi kept them in suspense.
Soon, the blacksmiths stacked the iron blocks neatly.
A pointed iron mountain was neatly stacked above the large anvil.
Fortunately, they had just imported a large number of new iron blocks to manufacture a certain tool.
Otherwise, they might not have been able to gather one thousand kilograms of iron blocks.
With the steam forging hammer, their efficiency had greatly increased. As long as they bought iron blocks, they could all be turned into high-quality refined iron in less than a day.
"Everyone, step back a little, preferably stand behind me, there may be some danger later."
After Quan Yi finished speaking, he strode towards the iron mountain.
Everyone consciously stepped back, holding their breath and watching Quan Yi's back.
Quan Yi's height and build were the most robust among the blacksmiths, but he was still slightly insufficient in front of one thousand kilograms of iron blocks.
These unrefined iron blocks were much larger in volume than iron essence of the same weight.
Quan Yi looked up at the 'iron mountain' and summoned the Fiery Sun Gauntlets on his hands.
Quan Yi placed his palm on the iron block, and the vermilion patterns of the Fiery Sun Gauntlets lit up.
Quan Yi maintained this posture for ten minutes.
Just as everyone was feeling bored, the sharp-eyed Blacksmith Yuan let out a surprised shout.
"The iron block is turning red!"
The other blacksmiths quickly observed carefully after hearing the sound.
"It's turning red, it's turning red!"
In just a few breaths, the black iron mountain gradually turned red.
It presented a state of being scorched by a large fire.
At this time, Blacksmith Yuan, who had a certain understanding of Quan Yi, spoke up and replied: "That's right, the Young Master's martial soul is a rare fire-attribute martial soul, softening iron blocks is simply easy.
However, haven't you noticed? The Young Master is directly heating it from the inside of the iron block, the change in color is from the inside out."
"What!"
Everyone was immediately shocked.
Quan Yi seemed to be responding to everyone, and as soon as the surface was burned red, he immediately removed his palm.
"Well, that's about right."
Seeing the color, Quan Yi nodded in satisfaction.
That's right, just now, Quan Yi was using his fire control ability to heat from the inside of the iron block.
The purpose of doing this was not only to ensure that the bottom anvil remained cold and hard, but also to allow the inside of the iron block to fuse together under the action of high temperature and pressure.
Although it wasn't obvious from the outside, the iron block pile had already begun to fuse together.
Seeing that the heat was almost right, Quan Yi moved his body, and then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, he swung his right arm fiercely and slammed it heavily towards the red-hot iron block.
"Clang!"
In an instant, countless sparks burst out from the colliding part, just like a blacksmith hammering an iron block with a hammer.
However, the number and range of sparks were definitely not what a blacksmith could produce when using a hammer.
They could only see such brilliant 'fireworks' when using a steam forging hammer.
But now, the one triggering the 'fireworks' was a person.
Was this really the power that a person could unleash?
Fortunately, the iron anvil below was a special product used to withstand the steam forging hammer, otherwise, it might not have been able to withstand this force.
"Clang!"
Quan Yi's next strike struck the iron mountain again in less than a second.
However, Quan Yi's face sank slightly, and he was dissatisfied with the previous strike.
Because his second strike failed to perfectly utilize the recoil force of the first strike.
Quan Yi immediately stopped hammering.
In just two punches, Quan Yi had hammered a half-fist-deep fist mark into the iron mountain.
Although the two punches accurately attacked the same place, Quan Yi failed to create the perfect feeling he had before.
Quan Yi moved his feet and came to the opposite direction.
He swung his fist again and slammed it down heavily.
"Clang! Clang!"
After another two heavy blows, Quan Yi immediately shifted his steps.
Quan Yi's pair of large hands were like forging hammers, hammering the four sides of the iron mountain in turn, according to a certain order.
"The Young Master is forging."
Now, everyone finally knew what Quan Yi was going to do.
"But, since there is a steam forging hammer, why use this method?"
Another blacksmith raised a question again.
Blacksmith Yuan looked at Quan Yi's exaggerated shoulder rotation, and the hammering that was heavier each time than the first strike, and he had some thoughts in his mind.
After a moment, he exclaimed: "Chaotic Cloak, the Young Master's movements are just like the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique."
The young blacksmith on the side asked: "Master Yuan, what is the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique?"
Blacksmith Yuan explained: "The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique is the strongest continuous forging technique among forging techniques. It can perfectly exert the blacksmith's strength through continuous knocking, using the force to fight the force.
It is the most powerful forging technique that can remove metal impurities."
"The most powerful forging technique? Is this Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique more powerful than the steam forging hammer?"
The young blacksmith questioned the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
"Uh." Blacksmith Yuan wanted to refute the young blacksmith, but, the next moment, he was suddenly speechless.
He had personally seen the power of the steam forging hammer.
Its advantage is that it can accurately strike the same hammering point with the same force.
At the same time, its force can be increased by increasing the weight of the hammer head.
That is to say, from the beginning, it can use the force that others have accumulated to eighty-one hammers to forge pig iron.
The user only needs to gently turn the forged iron block to easily complete the metal that others have painstakingly and painstakingly refined.
