Chapter 9 Blowing the Furnace
When Luo Heng was pondering how to raise the temperature by ordinary methods, the dwarf king and more than a dozen subordinates were gathering in the palace.
"Your Majesty, I don't think we should drive away from the Blacksmith Association for the time being, and we can use the excuse of heavy snow to close the mountain in winter. Hasson spoke.
Horn shook his head and said: "Your Excellency Hasson, I don't think this is appropriate, that Cheney, as a four-star silver star general, will definitely not lie, and the knife forged by Master Cheney is enough for us to pay attention to, the cost of this knife is only a quarter of the original, and it also has the ability to break armor, for those monsters, it is a fatal injury, if the dwarves are not satisfied, then do we rely on the Blacksmith Association?"
"Weapons are one thing, Lord Horn, but what about the daily necessities produced by ordinary people?" a dwarf nobleman asked.
"The Blacksmith Guild is also indispensable, after all, it is impossible for ordinary people to say that they can hunt with weapons forged by dwarves, that would be too costly. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget, His Majesty appeared as a referee at that time, and the Blacksmith Guild was very rude to us in the Gnome Kingdom. Kane, the commander of the city defense forces, spoke.
"Yes, and Master Cheney's wooden crossbow has a range of fifty yards and can penetrate two layers of leather armor, which will be of great help to the military strength of our dwarf clan, and Master Cheney has also promised to build a wooden crossbow with a range of five hundred yards. War Minister Rohr also spoke.
The dwarf king spoke, "Then trust Master Cheney once, Lord Rohr, and you should drive away from the blacksmiths' guild." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Rohr replied immediately.
"Dwarves or humans, we gnomes are just friends who welcome us. The dwarf king spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty. When some of the nobles below heard this, they extinguished some thoughts that they should not have.
Luo Heng killed the president of the Blacksmith Association, in the eyes of ordinary dwarves, it was a big deal, but in the eyes of the high-level gnomes, it was just like that, not to mention the identity of Luo Heng's four-star silver star general, it was the identity of the dwarves, and the blacksmith association had no choice, the dwarves were notoriously violent on the mainland. PS: Don't provoke a dwarf who drinks because he will blow your head out with a barrel.
And the dwarves are extremely united, the dwarves are good at forging, they are powerful, and they are natural warriors, plus the dwarves have built excellent equipment for themselves, and there are almost no one on the continent who dares to bully the dwarves.
The members of the Blacksmiths' Guild were driven out of Kampa and temporarily housed in a camp closest to the border.
After half a day of research, Luo Heng transformed the forging furnace, and now it should be a smelting furnace, and the entire furnace is almost sealed, like a small blast furnace, the blower is on top of the furnace, and then the wind blows down.
The first time Romo and the others saw the blower blowing, they were still disbelieving, and did not use the crucible, and added limestone when it came to ironmaking.
"It's done!" When the hole under the furnace was poked open, the molten iron came out of the same color.
Seeing this, Luo Heng patted his big ~ leg: "You should do a good job of molding." ”
There is no need for Luo Heng to worry about making molds, Luo Mo and others have molds in their hands, but they are all molds for weapons.
"Cheney, isn't it too wasteful to use this to make daily necessities, this is white iron. "This iron ingot is smelted and takes on a white color, which is white iron, a better metal than fine iron, that is, good steel.
"Then what do you say?" Luo Heng said with a shrug.
"I think that's it, but this smelting can only be passed on within our dwarves, and such a secret technique cannot be passed on. Romo said with a grim expression.
Luo Heng shook his head and said, "Luo Mo, think about it, will we dwarves use this way?"
“......。 When Romo heard this, he felt that the dwarves still liked traditional blacksmithing.
"We can use the Forging Association to cooperate with the dwarf clan to open a new association, so that this association can compete with the human blacksmith association, what do you say, although this white iron is very good, the hardness and everything is up to standard, but the toughness is definitely not as high as the fine iron we forge. Luo Heng knew that the toughness of the folded and forged material was very high, higher than that of this kind of direct smelting.
"But ....... Rosen was a little worried.
"Don't worry, the gnomes are just that. Luo Heng doesn't see it that way, this kind of smelting technology is almost unpopular among the dwarves, because this material is in the upper middle of the material, and the dwarves are best at magic equipment, which is the top.
"We also have magic forging. Luo Heng's last words suppressed the doubts of Luo Mo and the others.
"But without the supervision of our dwarves, aren't you afraid that these gnomes will leak this method?" Luo Bing said.
"Hehe, let's cooperate with the dwarf royal family, not with the dwarf kingdom....... Luo Heng smiled.
"Cheney, I seriously doubt that you are a fake dwarf, you say, are you a human who has cast the ultimate transformation technique to become a dwarf!" Luo Mo asked when he heard Luo Heng say this.
"Haha. Luo Bing and the others immediately laughed.
Luo Heng made some molds here, and then directly cast them into kitchen knives, sickles, and axes, as long as they are polished and bladed, they can be done, and there is no need to forge them at all.
"This cost is very low, the cost of an axe is no more than fifty copper coins, and two people can mint hundreds of them a day. Looking at the efficiency, Romo sighed.
"The key is high quality, just this kind of quality, let's sell a silver coin, do you believe it or not, those traitors of the human race will squeeze Kampa into a squeeze, and after polishing, these supplies look extremely bright, if you cast some patterns or something, the human nobles will not go crazy to rob them." Rosen spoke.
Luo Heng nodded and said, "Luo Bing, if you go to find someone from the royal family, it is best if you have a certain right to speak in the royal family, don't go directly to the dwarf king." ”
"Cheney, why don't you go directly to the dwarf king?" Luo Bing asked suspiciously.
"The dwarf king is the king of the dwarf kingdom, so he has to think about the people of the kingdom, and the other nobles will watch the dwarf king put such a lucrative thing in his own hands?" Luo Heng asked rhetorically.
Luo Bing understood, if the dwarf king was involved, those nobles would definitely not do it, and if they looked for other royal families, the dwarf king could still be partial.
Luo Heng tried to carve some lines on the mold again, and Luo Mo and Luo Sen worked hard to smelt, and then pondered over there, whether it was an all-copper blower or a smelting method where the wind blew down, it was the first time to see it, and it was unsuccessful as expected, so I knew that it was actually successful.
"Mr. Cheney. Someone outside shouted Luo Heng, and Luo Mo went out at once.
"Cheney, it's said outside that your student is coming. Luo Mo then came in, Luo Heng wondered, his own student?
PS: Ask for collection, there will be a chapter later, basically two chapters a day after no accident, I hope that the people who read the book will throw flowers, this book is about more than two million words, and it will not be too long.
