Offet Mondridge turned around and moved down the corridor of his hideout towards the alchemy room. The command post of the Western Expeditionary Army has been completely moved out of the church and moved to a row of houses in the city.

He wanted to see how far the Otherworldly coins had been imitated and studied. The coins of the Otherworldlys, even the paper money, were a novelty to Uffel Mondridge - what? Paper can also be used as money? Aren't you afraid of being copied? Aren't you afraid of getting wet in your pocket?

Of course, Offe Mondridge has the same perception as most of the Eltas, and even the Lancasians. Currency made of paper is light and fluttery, and there is no sense of security at all in using it.

In fact, when he got the actual banknote, he realized that it was a far cry from the coin he imagined could be easily copied. The fineness, clarity, detail, and uniformity of the three-color gravure overprint cannot be imitated with the clay printing of the Bilunar Church. The paper on which banknotes are made does not resemble paper at all...... How can there be such a hard, wet and fine paper? Multi-layer cotton fiber paper is really indispensable. Not to mention the metal security threads included in the paper, and the Braille and watermark designs around it—most of which were unknown to Offe Mondrich himself. The paper money that was printed out was even worse than the dark coin, and the dark currency was even brighter than it.

Imitation of banknotes can be put to rest. The Church of the Two Moons also obtained a sack of coins from a merchant on the condition that they paid almost the same weight of gold bars. The bag ranges from a dime to a dollar. However, even in the process of smelting coins in order to study the material, the counterfeiters of the two moons ran into trouble.

Alchemists, as their name suggests, apply magic and chemistry to the production of gold, a precious metal that is both extensive and noble. In fact, this is the same as the original plane, and it is impossible to give birth to gold...... However, the alchemists on this planet have discovered all kinds of metals and compounds - fortunately, the top boss of the Double Moon Church doesn't need the elixir, otherwise there will be a lot of about eating red mercury and Kaguya Ji Chang'e.

The gold has not been refined, but chemistry and "magic chemistry" have shown some signs. The crucible steelmaking of the Red Dragon Regiment came from the alchemists of the Regiment. When it comes to metal smelting, they are experts in everything from ore to finished product.

Generally speaking, if iron is made into money, it will quickly corrode and rust if it comes into contact with metal currencies such as copper, silver, and gold in a money bag for a long time. This is the experience that alchemists can sum up. What they don't know is that iron has been used as sacrificial anodes by metals such as copper, silver, and gold, and iron is constantly corroded to transport electrons to metals such as copper, silver, and gold. However, the money bags brought from the vendors included iron coins covered with brass and metals unknown to the Church of the Two Moons. So why is it that iron coins that can be adsorbed by magnets are not corroded? Naturally, we all know that this is due to the nickel plating of the steel core, but the alchemists of this world have not yet discovered nickel. The nickel contained in the so-called meteorite iron and good iron makes the steel mechanically better and rust-free, and they vaguely know that something is interfering with ordinary steel, but they are limited by their ability to separate the elemental nickel from the alloy at all. Now, if you melt the one-dollar coin directly, you can only get iron-nickel alloy, and the secret of the coin's ability to avoid corrosion, nickel-plated steel core, is temporarily thrown into the trash by the puzzled alchemist.

There was also a dime coin of unknown material to the Church of the Two Moons - it was light but had no nice luster, and had a melting point of just over half that of iron. Most of the dimes are made of this light metal. The lab's first discovery of pure aluminum was the reduction of aluminum chloride with potassium, and it was clear that the alchemists of the Bilunar Church, who had not yet mastered both potassium and electrolysis, were still a long way from discovering this important material.

But that doesn't stop them from discovering the merits of this metal. Light, not easily corroded, low melting point...... The low hardness is not suitable for weapons, but this does not affect the fact that plates and bowls made of this metal will become popular among the wealthy circles of Lancas in the future.

At the end of the day, their main purpose is to imitate. Since the imitation of steel one-dollar coins cannot solve the problem of deterioration of fineness caused by erosion, and there is no suitable material to imitate the more bullish dime coins, then the five-cornered steel core copper-plated can only be selected as the reproduction object. Alchemists can only use full brass to imitate this coin. Although the cost is a little higher, it can almost be exchanged for the same weight of silver.

If brass and some manpower can be exchanged for almost the same weight of silver, then the Bilunar Church has undoubtedly discovered a new way to collect money. Now the alchemy room has moved the spiral press mint used by the Church of the Two Moons in Lancas, and has begun to experiment with the production of counterfeit five-dimes.

Silently, Offmontrich picked up a finished piece of pressed and polished brass and began to examine the pattern on it. The brimmed intaglio pressing is so complex that the radius of the coin can only be widened, and finally the craftsman polishes it until a rough look at the front and back does not reveal the problem. The general pattern of the pentagonal side anti-slip belt is also the same with manual frustration. Such a finished product can only be said to deceive the petty traders, but it is the new district that needs to bear the responsibility for monetary credit - not the Bimonthly Church. But from his point of view, he really can't see that much of a gap. "This kind of achievement is worthy of your reputation. How many of these coins can you make per day? Offy Mondrich asked.

"Dear Director, we are now able to produce two hundred of these coins a day, and the scrap rate is too high." The leading alchemists humbly introduce the business to their big bosses.

"I'll increase the scale for you. But two hundred is far from enough. "Two hundred pentagons are a piece of red paper at best. There is simply not enough money to repatriate precious metals. What's more, the cost of hiring this group of people is not low. "I want you to make five thousand in a day."

5,000! The audience, who could hear Eufe Mondridge's whispered but shocking words, immediately trembled with fright. They almost thought that the supreme commander of the Western Expeditionary Army was crazy.

"You probably think I'm crazy—" said Eufe Mondridge, who tapped his wand on the ground. "If it weren't for the times, I wouldn't have asked for such a high order. We're so short of money...... In every sense of the word. ”

Since arriving in Hilzi, Euffer Mondrich has heard more than once the magistrates of Elta, who were loyal to him, complain about the lack of money in the market and the high prices. Anyone who knows a little bit about the business knows that except for the Tuntian tyrants who were killed by opening a position, the vast majority of liquid precious metal currencies have long been separated from the Elta market and joined the torrent of purchases made in China. Oft Mondrich naturally knew the price of glass bottles and glass plates, but if he couldn't stop the local princes and nobles from spending money on these objects, why couldn't he enjoy them first?

Using counterfeit coins to stake the new area with a black cauldron of credit is the only countermeasure he can come up with in the currency war. Even if the new area can eat the full amount of 10,000 pennies per day, the market chaos caused by not rejecting and screening and discarding or even discarding this coin will be able to relatively delay the current monetary tightening in the Elta market.

The big boss isn't crazy and will continue to invest money - that might be enough. The head of the big room tried to get rid of the surprised expression just now, and continued to respond to the big boss's expectations, "We should be able to reach the level of 400 brass coins per day in the next three days, and we also ask the superintendent to come and inspect and spur more." He responded.

Offy Mondridge also thought about it, he wanted to use the imitation five-dime coins to exchange the discount for those light dime coins, and then refine the light metal to make jewelry utensils and sell them for sky-high prices. This would be his private business, in order to feed the magic researchers and alchemists, and then purchase the resources he needed to build a firearms force outside of the Bilunar Church system. No matter how rich the big director's family is, it is difficult to stop the commander from asking for food and salary. Although the salary of this firearms unit can be fooled in the name of absorbing the remnants of Elta's army, the money for the purchase and maintenance of firearms is the big money.

The alchemy room is still roaring, and it has the look and feel of a blacksmith shop. The alchemist carefully experimented with the ratio of copper and zinc, tin, and lead, and threw them into the furnace. On the other side, a row of spiral pressed mints is operated by hired craftsmen who produce scrap and semi-finished products. The semi-finished products are then sent to the final manual processing process, which is then cleaned by a solution prepared by an alchemist...... It is only such a counterfeit coin that can really go to the market. At first glance, this "manufacturing den" looks a bit like a small workshop before and after the Industrial Revolution.

Eufay Mondrich was a little depressed and depressed in such a large room of passive industrialization, and after hastily explaining and encouraging the craftsmen and alchemists, he walked out of the room. A few days later, the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army will officially march towards the central part of Elta, and the soldiers will evacuate the houses they had lived in on the streets one by one, while the soldiers of Elta who have surrendered to the city will form small groups to parade around the streets and alleys to promote the sainthood and martial arts of the Bimoon Church, shouting slogans -- nothing more than nonsense in our opinion: "Adhere to the advanced ideas of the present gods and strive for the early recovery of Garcia".

"It's stupid." Offy Mondridge walked briskly down the stairs down the street with a counterfeit pennie in his hand, clutching in his hand. He remembered that Lu Cha, an old pedantic, actually wanted to hold a beautiful and beautiful army and a huge army that could "inspire the morale of the army...... He and Lucha also argued about this matter for an afternoon. In case the Iron Bird arrives as scheduled, then don't talk about any military spirit. It is the right thing for the dignitaries to dig up the cemetery as soon as possible. "God knows if Rucha's old idiot brain was ruined by Elta's beer and women...... the director muttered to his colleague as he boarded the carriage that was already waiting.
