The Fire-Gathering Talisman and Miniature Tornado Talismans from the Willow Valley once again filled Arya's warehouse.Betty was holding a parchment ledger and counting the number of fire-gathering runes in the warehouse, looking extremely focused, all of which would be delivered to the rune workshop tomorrow morning, and Murray, the manager of the rune workshop, would drive out a new batch of copper hot pots and exhaust fans.Although it has reached the spring season in the imperial capital, the copper hot pot in the imperial capital magic market is still in short supply.For the copper hot pot in the magic shop is always out of stock, the people of the imperial capital have given the magic merchants a full understanding, and the people of the imperial capital think that the good goods, under the premise of short supply, must maintain a relatively low price, and naturally they will be sold out in a short period of time once they appear.As a result, a new type of sales model has emerged in many magic firms: number release.Every Imperial Capital who buys a copper hot pot in the magic shop can receive a copper number plate after paying a tenth of the deposit, so that the magic shop will set a time to pick up the goods according to the number on the nameplate.Therefore, the people of the imperial capital firmly believe that as long as they have enough patience, they will be able to buy copper hot pot.According to Murray, some well-located magic shops have already ranked the number to 100, and it will take at least a month to get the copper hot pot.While the number of Pyrometer Talismans shipped to the Workshop increased every week, Murray hoped that the number of Talismans would double.Compared with the fire-gathering rune board in the copper hot pot, the miniature tornado rune board has always been tepid in the market.Due to the wide variety of exhaust fans flooding the magic market in the imperial capital, the exhaust fans produced by the Rune Plate Workshop only accounted for less than 20% of the sales share.This is mainly because the people of the imperial capital have a preconceived impression of the old-fashioned exhaust fan, and they are more willing to choose those exhaust fans that meet their own aesthetics in the market and are ingenious in some small functions, even if the price is slightly higher, but as long as the economic conditions allow, it is also acceptable.I asked Ma and Si Pei to start a business in the imperial capital, and I also considered handing over this part of the market to Ma Lai, but unfortunately there were many situations on the side of the trading firm, and I had to let Ma temporarily manage Qige's trading firm, and the matter of developing the exhaust fan magic market was temporarily put on hold.As a result of a recent series of military operations on the Hiero plane, barbarian slaves and orc warriors have captured a herd of live giant spiders.Now there are more than half of the giant spiders in the silk reeling workshop that have been newly added recently, and the entire silk reeling workshop has increased to two hundred giant wooden cages, and the magic spider silk ingots produced by these giant spiders can basically meet the production of Arya's textile workshop after expansion, and now the sales scope of Arya's magic spider silk cloth is not limited to the imperial capital, and even in addition to the major provinces of the Green Empire, it is even exported to Buenos City in the elven country.The silk reeling workshop is still in the stage of profiteering, and although the spindle of a demonic spider silk has been reduced from the original ten gold coins to the hardware coins, this industry for me has almost no cost except for the regular replenishment of a part of the giant spider.It is the stable output of this part of the silk reeling workshop that ensures the normal construction of the town of Trum.More than 100 orcs moved dozens of boxes of steel ingots from the dwarf kingdom and nearly 100 boxes of runic copper blanks into the underground warehouse in Xinliu Valley.In addition, nearly 1,000 steel pipes of different specifications have also been stored in the rental warehouse of the airport town, and five batches of steel pipes will be transported to the airport town inland in the next two weeks, and these steel pipes will be used for the infrastructure construction of the town of Tum.In addition, I ordered a thousand boxes of glass from the province of Palestina through the Emerald Bay Trading Company, which will also arrive in the airport town this week by magic airship.I took Caterina through the portal to the blacksmith shop in the caverns underneath the willow valley.It just so happened that the four old dwarf craftsmen and a few female orcs dismantled the large wooden boxes piled up at the door of the blacksmith's shop, which were slightly damaged, and looking through the cracks, you could clearly see pieces of stainless steel ingots wrapped in oiled paper.As the nails on the box board came down one by one, the female orc removed the lid from the wooden box, and one of the old dwarves reached out and took out a piece of steel ingot from the wooden box, and he trembled and lifted the oil paper on it, revealing the brick-shaped steel ingot inside, one of the corners of the steel ingot was printed with the special emblem of the dwarven kingdom King Stan, and the steel ingot was filled with a strong smell of engine oil.Not only did the four old dwarf craftsmen not only have no joy on their faces, but also brought a trace of sadness.When the old dwarves saw me coming in from outside the blacksmith's shop, they gathered around me.The old dwarven craftsman named Alberta held a heavy steel ingot in his hands, his face was full of chrysanthemum-like wrinkles, and he said to me with a bitter smile: "Lord Jiga, you have really bought these fine steel materials from the dwarven kingdom!
”Another old dwarf craftsman gently stroked the thick beard on his chin and said to me, "Maybe we forgot to tell you last time that even if we had such high-quality steel, it would be difficult to produce that kind of high-precision gear with our existing processing methods. ”The eyes of the third old dwarf craftsman looked left and right, but he did not want to make eye contact with me, and said to me with some humility: "My lord, we can only barely produce copper gears at present, and the movements used to assemble the magic engraving machine are basically made of copper. ”"What we old guys mean is that even if we have these high-quality steels right now, it will be very difficult to transform the movement of the magic seal machine into the steel of the city."
The last old dwarf stepped forward to add, lest I would not understand.The four old dwarves stood at the door of the blacksmith's shop with their heads bowed like children who had done something wrong.I reached out and took the steel ingots from the hands of the first dwarf and said to them, "Things are not so bad, I actually made a little preparation before buying these steel ingots. ”I walked into the blacksmith's workshop with four old dwarven craftsmen, who looked at me suspiciously.Standing next to the workbench there was an old blower, a small furnace just behind the blower, and as the lobes of the blower opened and closed, the air was sent into the furnace, and the flames on the coke inside the furnace instantly turned blue.On the other side of the workbench was a large wrought-iron cutting board with a half-wrought Damascus sword on it, and a stone trough was placed next to it, filled with water, and the water in the sink appeared to be muddy, and a layer of oil floated on the water.When the dwarves saw me standing in front of the sink, they all gathered around.At this point, I unscrewed the drain in the sink and drained all the water inside.Then he gently placed the steel ingot in his hand into the stone trough, and then took out a bottle of metal softener from his bosom and poured it evenly on the steel ingot."
This is a bottle of metal softener made by the master alchemist, which is said to soften all metals, and the steel ingots should be fine, we just need to sprinkle these softeners evenly on the steel ingots."
I held up the empty bottle in my hand and said to the four old dwarf craftsmen.The four old dwarf craftsmen stood aside, craned their necks to watch my demonstration carefully, and the other female dwarves in the blacksmith shop also put down their work and gathered around.I set aside the empty bottle of the softener, then took out a wooden box from my magic belt bag and said to the dwarves: "Wait a little while, and when the steel ingots are completely soft, you can use the wood mold to press any workpiece, but only if the wood mold must meet the dimensional accuracy requirements, preferably using a fine-grained hardwood carving mold like ironwood or indigo." ”One of the old dwarves picked up the empty glass bottle I had put aside, wiped it on the edge of the bottle, got a little residual liquid, put it in front of the big nose and sniffed it, but unfortunately the residual softener got on the Mithril ring on his middle finger, and in an instant, his Mithril ring was melted by the softener, like a drop of sticky honey dripping on the ground."
Wow, how can this be!"
The old dwarf exclaimed in surprise, "This is against science, is this some powerful earth magic?"
”I'm going to put a pair of snakeskin gloves on my hands, and I'm going to pull the wooden box open, and inside the wooden box is a very delicate biscuit mold, carved with a pattern that little Ella loves so much, which I found from the kitchen.I put my hand into the stone trough, grabbed the steel ingot that had softened like cheese, and kneaded it vigorously in the stone trough, and the incredible scene happened in front of the dwarves' eyes, the steel ingot was like a piece of soft dough, changing shape in my hand at will, I kneaded the steel ingot twice like kneading dough, and kneaded the steel ingot into a soft round steel rod.Immediately, I pulled a small piece of steel from the round steel rod with my hands, doubled it with my hands, and then stuffed it into the mold of the round biscuit, and then tapped it with a mallet.I pointed to the piece of steel embedded in the mold and said to the dwarves: "If we want to make complex workpieces, we only need to make the wood mold perfect enough to press out any steel parts, but of course this step is not finished, we need to further process, that is, the workpiece is cured!"
”"To be honest, this one is kind of like a cookie mold."
A female dwarf next to her looked at the mold with a puzzled expression."
Hey, hey!"
I laughed dryly twice, then said, "Sorry, I couldn't find a better presentation apparatus, so I had to take out the cookie mold from the kitchen temporarily!"
”With that, I pulled out another bottle of metal hardener from my magic beltbag, unscrewed the cap, and just dropped a drop of olive oil-like liquid on the small round biscuit pressed from steel, and in an instant, a pungent white smoke evaporated from the steel.As the dwarves scrambled to dispel the pungent smoke, I took the steel-pressed biscuits in my hand, and all the fine ornamentation on them was clearly printed.The four old dwarfs looked at the small round biscuit in my hand with incredible expressions, and they took the round biscuit, and one of the old dwarves even brought it to his mouth and bit it fiercely with his teeth."
This is really amazing, what kind of alchemy potion are these?"
An old dwarf whispered.The dwarf standing beside him wiped his eyes vigorously, stared at the steel round biscuit, and said, "If it can be promoted, this metal softener can make the forging level of the Green Empire surpass that of the Dwarven Realm for the first time!"
”Later, another old dwarf craftsman said: "This softener may change the processing mode of traditional blacksmithing, and the production of metal tools will become as simple as wood carving." ”"With this metal softener, there's nothing left in the Dwarven Realm that can be held in the hands of the Dwarven Realm from now on."
The old dwarf gathered together and discussed.I then took off my snakeskin gloves and handed them to one of the old dwarves.Then he took the whole box of metal softener and curing agent out of the magic waist bag and placed it next to the work table, put away the biscuit molds, and then said to the four old dwarves: "If those copper gears were replaced with more precise steel gears, would the success rate of these magic printing machines be improved?"
”"Of course."
An old dwarf craftsman replied."
Then I look forward to your good news, if you need anything, just ask!"
I said to the four old dwarf craftsmen, "Recently, I have a new type of Demonic Bronze Talisman Plate to be printed, and the production process of this Talismanic Plate will be more complicated, because it needs to be printed on the front and back of the Demonic Pattern Circle, and more importantly, the two Demonic Pattern Circles are closely connected" As I spoke, I took out the design of the Continuous Frost Magic Talisman Plate designed by the Yerkes Scholar and showed it to the four old dwarves.Looking at the new magic talisman plate displayed in my hand, an old dwarf hesitated for a moment before he said, "Lord Jiga, can you get the Yero natives on the other side of the underground cave to cooperate with us, their wood carving skills are much better than ours" "That's no problem. ”I immediately agreed.Walking out of the blacksmith shop in the Xinliu Valley, I was going to browse the secret room containing Hex's technology drawings again, but when I passed the underground square, I saw that the square was full of grain, stones, steel pipes, raw rubber, flax and many other materials, which needed to be transported to the Trum camp on the Hiero plane immediately, so Caterina and I took the time hourglass and ran to the Hiero plane through the portal on the teleportation altar overnight.When I crossed the portal to the Hiero plane, I remembered that there were still two Hiero native girls in the house, and I hadn't been home much in the past two days, and I didn't know how the two of them got along with little Ella.I talked to Caterina about this, and Caterina told me that the two indigenous girls of Hierro had recently planted some plant seeds brought from the Hierro plane in the back garden of the courtyard every day, in addition to learning Chinese, and had also mowed the lawn and shrub walls, and they were good at communicating with plants.
