Chapter 206: Flame Furnace
Similar scenes have occurred in various mines, where oppressed miners have seized and even beheaded those who oppressed them, and bloody heads have been returned to the tribes of the dead. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The provoking tribe immediately sent troops to attack, but all the people sent over were meat buns and dogs, and there was no return. After careful investigation, they discovered that the miners on the mine were well-equipped and even magical.
"Where the hell did all that magic gear come from?"
"Nonsense, now everyone knows that magic equipment can be opened in the pocket jars sold by League of Legends."
"Do you think those poor miners have the money to buy pocket jars? The price of League of Legends is ten gold coins each, but it has been doubled several times as soon as it is sold by black merchants. Moreover, the chance of the magic equipment from the jar will kill the father, how much money do they have to spend to make it up? ”
"Could it be that League of Legends secretly colluded with those miners and incited them to riot, right?"
The implementation is obvious, even if it is not instigated by the League of Legends, at least it cannot escape the involvement, so many tribes sent people to condemn the League of Legends and warn the League of Legends not to meddle in the mines in various places. After all, those small tribes relied on the exploitation of nearby mines to obtain their wealth.
It's just that Qin Bing didn't pay attention to the condemnation of those small tribes at all. After all, what those small tribes do is too unauthentic, if they raise slaves to open mines, they can just squeeze them casually, but most of those miners are vagabonds who have a difficult life and have to sell coolies, but even so, they are still sucked out of the marrow.
In Cangyue Tong's words, Qin Bing was just selling some weapons and equipment, although the miners bought them on credit, but after all, it was a fair deal. People must buy weapons and equipment for fighting, and as an arms dealer with professional ethics, Qin Bing will not care whose land the arrows he sells are shot at.
Those small tribes saw that the League of Legends ignored them, and they were in trouble for a while, thinking about the comparison of the strength of the two sides, these envoys didn't even leave a word of cruelty and walked away.
The impact of the miners' revolt was not great, and only the neighboring tribes felt the pain, and the others didn't even bother to pay attention, after all, the sandbar was so chaotic, there were fights almost all the time, and the fights in the mines had no value at all.
It was only soon that the price of iron ore in the market fluctuated. In the past, iron ore was controlled by small tribes near the mines, who relied on squeezing miners to reduce costs to make a profit, rather than raising the price of iron ore, and in order to compete with foreign goods, they set the price of iron ore extremely low.
After the miners took charge of their own affairs, they immediately stopped exporting iron ore to the outside world, and sold all of them to League of Legends according to the agreement. As a result, the price of iron ore in the market skyrocketed almost instantaneously.
Almost all the businesses related to iron ore were affected and affected, and foreign merchants saw that it was profitable, and while hoarding Juqi, they transferred iron ore from other places to make huge profits.
The fluctuation of iron ore prices has led to the increase in the price of various weapons and armor in the blacksmith shop, but the pocket jar has always maintained the original price, so that people will feel that the pocket jar is "cheaper" a lot, which also stimulates more people to buy the pocket jar, and the supply of the pocket jar is becoming more and more scarce.
Qin Bing was also scratching his head in worry, although he repeatedly increased the number of blacksmiths, he still couldn't keep up with the hot demand for pocket jars, unless Qin Bing was willing to reduce the explosion rate of the equipment in pocket jars.
And at this time, the ink scholar gave Qin Bing a big gift, and the explosion furnace was successfully made!
This is a real flame heating furnace, which can work safely and stably, and there is no fault or abnormality in the continuous operation for up to 72 hours.
Qin Bing was overjoyed and immediately approved the use of the Flame Furnace for forging, and the combination of magic and alchemy showed its power in this world for the first time.
The combustion chamber was filled with coal, and the furnace was filled with iron ore grinding and filtered powder, and the inkblot scholar pressed it on the stove, and the furnace immediately buzzed into operation, and immediately, a scorching heat spread, and the air around the furnace became distorted.
By the way, the operation of the Flame Furnace is extremely simple, and even ordinary people without magical cultivation can use it, and this feature is destined to be popularized without any obstacles, rather than being limited to a small group of people.
There is a large group of blacksmiths around the Flame Furnace, these are the people who believe in Linus in League of Legends, and because of their faith, they have all gained skilled forging experience and skills, so they are the most qualified people to evaluate the Flame Furnace.
"I think the crucible has the best steelmaking effect, the molten steel is of good quality, there are few impurities, and the quality of the forged weapons is also high, at least they are all white grade."
"That's right, several masters who have forged blue-grade equipment have a lot of experience in crucible steelmaking, so it can be seen that it is still crucible steelmaking that has the best effect."
A crucible is a vessel for melting and refining a liquid metal, and among the forging techniques taught by Linus, the method of obtaining steel is to use a crucible to refine it. The process of refining the method is not specific, it is inefficient and very tiring.
The crucible method is different, it is a small container that refines molten iron to remove impurities and turn it into steel. This method is indeed very effective, but the fly in the ointment is that the yield is very limited, less than one catty. To forge a sword, more than ten crucibles have to be started at the same time, and one of these ten crucibles can be considered lucky.
While the blacksmiths were talking, the inkblot scholar suddenly clicked a few times on the furnace, and then the humming stove quickly fell silent, and only the scorching heat made it clear that the stove had just worked.
"Is it malfunctioning?"
"I heard this thing was responsible for the last big explosion."
"Shall we go back and forth first?"
Perhaps it was the shadow left by the last glitch, and the onlookers all retreated, and some of the timid even hid behind cover.
But then, the Inkblot Scholar pulled down a lever, and a small hole was immediately opened under the Flame Furnace, and bright red molten steel poured down from it.
Seeing this familiar picture, all the blacksmiths closed their mouths in surprise. It turned out that it was not the furnace that failed, but that the smelting work had been completed.
Some blacksmiths couldn't help but calculate the time before and after, and they were shocked to find that the flame furnace was up to ten minutes before and after the start of loading the iron ore powder to the outflow of molten steel.
A furnace of steel in ten minutes, looking at the amount, there are thousands of catties, which is thousands of times that of the crucible. Moreover, the refining time is only a quarter or even a fifth of the crucible.
Now, the only doubt in the minds of the blacksmiths is: what is the quality of the molten steel??? To be continued.
