Chapter 1994, low-quality consumables
Elemental alloy is a new name made for the convenience of the natives after receiving the new metal from the indigenous dwarves.
If you are more detailed, you can also divide it into fire element alloy, earth element alloy and so on according to different attributes.
At this time, the war knife in Luo Ji's hand undoubtedly used fire element alloy, but it was obviously more than that.
"Back to Your Majesty, the material for forging this war knife is not only the fire element alloy, but also star sand."
Luo Ji is certainly no stranger to Star Sand, the rare material of their Ten Thousand Worlds civilization, but at the same time, a little strangeness inevitably rises in his heart.
"Could it be that this elemental alloy wasn't originally a spell material? Do you still need to use star sand? ”
In Luo Ji's impression, the biggest role of star sand is to change the characteristics of the material.
Ordinary metal cannot hold mana, so it cannot be used to forge spell weapons.
For this reason, only after incorporating star sand and forging it into star-striped steel can it be transformed into a spell material and obtain the corresponding characteristics.
But according to Luo Ji's expectations, this elemental alloy should have been a spell material.
It seemed a bit complicated to explain this question, and Carl sorted out his thoughts for several minutes before he slowly explained......
"Back to Your Majesty, Elemental Alloy can indeed be counted as a spell material, but at the same time, it is not all."
Luo Ji, who heard this, did not make a sound, but directly raised his hand and motioned for Carl to continue.
Karl was not ambiguous about this, and just listened to him continue......
"According to my personal understanding, this elemental alloy should be tempered to make the elemental power in the magic crystal ore into the ordinary metal material, so that the characteristics of the ordinary metal material have changed, which sounds like it is similar to the role of star sand, but in fact, it is not."
"To put it simply, a simple elemental alloy is a low-quality consumable! It is like a magic crystal that has changed its shape, and some of the elemental power should still be lost in the process of smelting, so the elements in this elemental alloy are not as good as a magic crystal. ”
As he spoke, Carl pulled out another thing he had brought with him this time, which was an old-fashioned flintlock pistol.
In their Ten Thousand Realms Civilization, it is estimated that they will not be able to find it, after all, the flintlock pistol has been eliminated a long time ago.
And just when Luo Ji was thinking like this, Carl, who picked up the flintlock pistol, had already spoken again......
"Your Majesty, please see, the barrel of this flintlock pistol was forged by those dwarves from the alloy of the fire element."
Hearing this, Luo Ji subconsciously looked at the barrel of the flintlock pistol, and sure enough, if you look carefully, you can still see that the barrel of the flintlock pistol is dark red, but what is strange is that the color seems to be very light.
As a result, I don't know if I saw Luo Ji's thoughts, so I only heard Carl speak......
"Your Majesty should have discovered that although the barrel of this flintlock pistol is also made of fire element alloy, the color is very light, and it is not comparable to the war knife I forged."
"And in fact, it's true, this flintlock pistol, let's be regarded as half a spell weapon, because the fire element alloy with the barrel is rich in fire element power, so when the bullet is fired, it will bring a little fire element power blessing, so as to become stronger, but even so, the power of this flintlock pistol is only about a quarter of the thundering seven styles."
"By the way, it's worth mentioning that I've also forged spell weapons with it alone, and the actual effect is that it can't even reach half the effect of a first-order weapon."
Speaking of this, Karl couldn't help but pout, in his opinion, the use of elemental alloys by those indigenous dwarves was a complete waste of materials.
"To get back to the point, the reason why the color of the barrel is so light is because every time you shoot, it consumes the elemental power attached to this fire element alloy! I've already done a definite test of this, and when this flintlock pistol was first delivered, it wasn't so pale in color. ”
Hearing this, Luo Ji's expression also changed, and at the same time, he finally knew why Carl said that this elemental alloy was a low-quality consumable.
After this, Luo Ji couldn't help but ask out loud......
"Carl, according to what you said, will the elemental power in this elemental alloy become a piece of scrap metal after it is consumed?"
To this, Karl nodded seriously.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have confirmed this with another flintlock pistol."
This was really a flaw that Luo Ji didn't expect at first, and it also made him realize another thing.
"So, Carl, you fused star sand into the elemental alloy in order to change its material again?"
Hearing this, Karl's eyes were obviously a little brighter.
"That's right! In the process of integrating into the star sand, I once again changed the material of this elemental alloy! Your Majesty, please look at this. ”
As he spoke, Carl took out another dark red metal ingot.
Luo Ji, who took the metal ingot, subconsciously looked at it seriously, and then he quickly discovered that on the surface of this fire element alloy, there were little by little star-like star patterns, which was a feature that only star-patterned steel had!
"I call this piece of fire element alloy smelted with star sand flame star-patterned steel, and that war knife is forged from this flame-star-patterned steel!"
"If you say that the previous fire element alloy is just a low-quality consumable, the elemental power outside can't get in, and the elemental power inside can't get out, it's occluded."
"Then after integrating into the star sand and tempering it into flame star-patterned steel, the elemental power in this blocked low-quality consumable has already begun to circulate, that is to say, it can now continuously absorb the elemental power, and even if the internal elemental power is exhausted, it can be restored, which is basically equivalent to a deteriorated version of the artificial magic core!"
At this moment, Luo Ji can be said to be completely shocked.
However, before he could calm down, Karl spoke again......
"Of course, forging directly with flame star-patterned steel can also forge spell weapons, and in terms of power, it can barely reach the first order, and it is slightly inferior in terms of the strength of the spell and the content of elemental power, but if it is combined with a magic core or magic crystal with the same attributes, then this whole weapon can directly undergo a qualitative change!"
"Take this war knife as an example, in the case of inlaid with a fire magic crystal, it is equivalent to having two energy points that provide elemental power, and at the same time, the characteristics of flame star-patterned steel can also make the corresponding elemental power flow, become more efficient, and reduce unnecessary elemental loss, in other words, a blow that originally required the consumption of thirty percent of the elemental power may now only need to consume one percent of the elemental power, and it can be done!"
