Metal Puppets

Metal Puppets

The global war ended two hundred years ago, not with a bang, but with a whimper. Nations fought until resources were almost completely exhausted. By the time a cease-fire was called, the ability to return to the pre-war industrial era was nearly impossible. With the lack of resources, humanity declined to a quasi-medieval society of city states. Now 200 years later "Metalmancers" or those with the ability to control and shape metal have started to appear. With these Metalmancers and their abilities to salvage and possibly operate pre-war technology, forces have started to come into play to vie for control, once again sending this scarred planet into war. Mand and Val are two such Metalmancers who have been living on their own for the past several years. With new forces in play and old enemies on their trail, will they be able to lean on each other to survive this new emerging world? ** It's really hard to fly a dragon made of metal. They could of made a bull, a horse, or really any simple device that could haul a wedge-shaped plow, but someone insisted that they try and build a bloody dragon. That someone now had her hands wrapped around Mand's waist and was having the time of her life. "See, I told you this was a great idea," Val exclaimed. "We'll have that field done in no time!" "You're not the one trying to steer this thing," Mand returned. "Now be a good sister and lower the tail so we can get to work." Mand felt Val shift her weight and suddenly become very still as she began to concentrate. Inside the shell of the dragon, a complex system of gears began to whirr and rotate. The dragon's tail began to curve beneath the belly of the construct, until the wedge-shaped tip curved towards the ground. Mand had her work cut out for her as well. She focused her mind on pumping the dragon's wings to keep aloft. The descended tail made the whole operation twice as taxing as it was before. The tail clicked in place and Mand began their pass towards the field below. "Are you sure this will work?" she questioned her sister. "It's my butt too," Val pouted. "You should have more faith in my plan!" Mand brought the dragon closer and closer to the earth. She began to sweat as the ground inched closer. Finally, at the edge of the field, the tip of the tail sunk into the soft earth, plowing a furrow as the dragon swooped along. When the dragon reached the far end of the field, Mand pumped the wings to get them back in the air. It was only when she brought the dragon around for another pass that she realized how hard she was breathing. "See, I told you this would work!" Val shouted happily, kicking her legs out as they approached the field once again. Mand felt darkness overtake her.

The characteristics of the pressing furnace
The straight mouth of the pressing furnace is flat, the neck is bound, the abdomen is drooping, the two ears are symmetrical between the neck and abdomen, and there is a raised angle above each ear, the tip of the ear is raised, the body shape is concise, and there are three small conical feet at the bottom. The walls of the furnace were thick and heavy, and the weight was quite heavy. The ears of the furnace stand sideways between the strong belly of the furnace, like a plate, imitating the shape of Dingyao porcelain in Song Dynasty. It was an extended version of an incense burner that originated from the Buddhist system. It was a Buddhist incense burner that could be placed on top of Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, it was called the sutra pressing furnace and also the "sutra pressing furnace". The Zhou family's sutra-pressing furnace was made of fine copper, simple and elegant. Under close inspection, the skin color was bright and smooth, and the patina was warm. The surface of the copper furnace had a precious light flowing. It could not be made without refined copper. It was a good item to collect and play with. The material selection of the pressing furnace during the Xuande period was exquisite, the workmanship was exquisite, the style was simple and elegant, and the colors were rich. With purple-red as the base tone, there were dozens of colors such as brown, cyan, green, red, blue, yellow, white, gold, etc. The furnace structure was composed of three parts: furnace ears, furnace body and furnace feet. The furnace ears had elephant ears, lion ears, ring ears and other types and were placed on both sides of the furnace body in pairs. Most of the inscriptions fell on the bottom of the furnace. The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

The generation of the pressing furnace
The generation of the Warp Pressing Furnace could be judged from the following aspects: 1. * * Identity **: - The inscription of Xuande Furnace in Ming Dynasty was standard and dignified, mostly in seal script. If the inscription was in regular script, it might be copied by later generations. For example, the sutra pressing furnace with the bottom seal "Ming Xuande Year System", combined with factors such as patina and shape, may be dated to the middle of the Qing Dynasty. - In the early Qing Dynasty, private stoves, such as the "Hanmo Book" seal script, had a beautiful and dignified feeling after polishing the font, which was different from the style of the Ming Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, the official cast seal script was like the "Xuande Year System" long-legged seal script. The lines were regular, strong and deep, full of official spirit. - In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, such as the three-character seal script "Xuande Year", the strokes and other characteristics were different from those in the early Qing Dynasty. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there was a long-legged seal script of "Xuande Year System" carved in the open frame at the center of the furnace bottom. The strokes were narrow and the words were not very deep, reflecting the production standard of the official casting furnace height in the Qing Dynasty. 2. * * Styling characteristics **: - The Ming Dynasty might be closer to the shape of the early Song Ding kiln porcelain, such as the high (low) foot pressing furnace. - In the early Qing Dynasty, the shape of the furnace might have both the style of the late Ming Dynasty and the charm of the Qing Dynasty. For example, the narrow mouth of the furnace was slightly extravagant, the neck was slightly closed, the abdomen was slightly drooping, and there were three pillar-shaped milk feet under it. The feet were short and straight, and the two round ears were straight and round. In the early Qing Dynasty, the furnace with a seat was solemn and elegant, with strict rules, straight mouth and slightly open mouth, slightly closed neck, plump belly and so on. - In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the furnace had its own shape characteristics, such as the overall shape was tall and straight, the mouth was flat, the neck was tied, the abdomen was round, and the lower part was smooth and had three breasts. 3. * * Skin color and patina **: - The Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty was rich in color, with purplish-red as the base tone. There were dozens of colors such as brown, cyan, green, red, blue, yellow, white, gold, etc. - In the early Qing Dynasty, the warp-pressing furnace might have the characteristics of the skin color of the pear with snowflake gold, the original skin was complete, the skin color was moist, and so on. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the furnace may have a dark chestnut shell skin color, a body full of snowflake gold and other different skin colors. In terms of patina, the patina state of different periods could also assist in determining the generation. 4. * * Craftsmanship **: - The Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty was made with excellent craftsmanship and thick walls. - The Qing Dynasty also had its own characteristics in terms of casting. For example, in the early Qing Dynasty, irregular marks of broken knives could be seen in the inner chamber, and the wall of the ware gradually became thinner from the mouth to the abdomen. The silver-inlaid process in the middle of the Qing Dynasty was popular in the late Ming Dynasty. By the Qing Dynasty, there were fewer and fewer people who knew this process. The novel "Gilded Palm" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

Which doomsday novel was it? The male protagonist obtained the ability to control metal power by killing zombies and pressing the crystal core on his heart?
I recommend the novel "The Rebirth of the Magnetic Corpse King". The male protagonist, Lin Feng, was reborn three days before the apocalypse and became a zombie. He also gained the ability to control metal. He killed zombies to obtain crystal cores and pressed them on his heart, thus becoming the all-metal Magnetite Corpse King. What was even more interesting was to create his own miracle in the universe. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
