Chapter 156: Alternatives to White Steel
Yuan Rolling greeted Ta Geo as usual, and then what Ta Geo didn't expect was that Yuan Roll didn't get to the point right away, but swayed up and down to Sha Luo who was sitting on the bed for a while, and then said to Sha Luo very formally:
"It's a great honor to meet you here, and with your assistance, the creator's career will definitely develop more smoothly."
Round would actually say such a thing to Sharo, which really made Tageo feel a little surprised.
You know, this round thing is just a small polite hello to Jamel and Noah. When facing Vasily and Tetus and others, this thing was announced as finished with a simple gesture.
This time I actually said hello to Sharo so formally, this is the first time I've seen this thing so serious about everyone except for his own accident. Could it be that there is something special about this girl Sharo?
Well, whatever Tagio thinks. After throwing such a greeting at Sharo, which made Tagio quite inexplicable. Without waiting for Sara's response, Round Roll began to reintroduce the trouble that appeared on the metal inventory.
Tagio accompanied Sara to listen to another round report, and this girl heard that it was because of her own reasons that Tagio's white steel inventory was depleted.
Immediately showed a rather embarrassed expression at Tagio.
Realizing that Sara seemed to be brewing some apologetic words, Tagio put his index finger to his lips and made a quiet gesture, then said in a calm tone:
"Don't let this cause any burden on you, even if you don't come, the metal will be used up sooner or later. If you really want to help me, in addition to fighting hard, now is the time to help me think about how to alleviate this problem. ”
Tagio would say this, but in fact, the main purpose was to appease Sharo's emotions. As for whether Sharo can provide some reasonable advice on the shortage of metal resources, Tagao actually doesn't care.
In his opinion, as a combatant, Sharo's greatest value is to give full play to her combat effectiveness at the right time. As long as she can do that, Tagio is very satisfied.
Tagao didn't expect Sharo to give any good advice, but he didn't expect Sharo's sister to give Tagao a surprise, no, after listening to Tagao's soothing words.
Sharo nodded very obediently at first, and then pricked up his ears to continue listening to the round explanation.
After the round explanation ended, the girl immediately showed a thoughtful expression. After a moment of contemplation, Sharo said to Tagao:
"Master, since the stock of white steel is now gone. Moreover, in a short period of time, we also manage to effectively supplement the white steel. Can we simply change to a metal to forge the equipment? I don't think we need to cling to a metal, right? ”
Hearing Sharo's suggestion, Tagao was stunned for a moment and then had a flash of inspiration in his mind, which is indeed an effective method. Until a suitable way to supplement the white steel can be found, it is true that another suitable material can be used as a substitute.
After thinking about it for a while, Tagao felt that this suggestion of Sharo was indeed feasible. And the round roll, who was also present, was a step faster than Tagio, and at the same time that Tageo confirmed that the proposal was feasible. This fast-paced auxiliary AI has already simulated the key word "substitute for white steel", and the actual results have been obtained in a relatively short period of time.
Round Roll, who got the results of the calculations, immediately reported to Tagio:
"Dear creator, Sharo's proposal is very feasible. According to the calculations just completed by this machine, the mines in the heart of the castle are capable of providing considerable copper and tin ore. As long as the ratio between copper and tin is right, we can smelt bronze of excellent quality. ”
When Round Roll mentioned Bronze, Tagao's train of thought had already kept up with the rhythm of the assistant AI's thinking, and he continued to speak in Round Roll.
"Before we can upgrade the mines in the heart of the castle or master a suitable mine outside, we can use bronze to craft weapons, right?"
"Very right, esteemed creator."
Tagao was no stranger to using bronze to make weapons and equipment, as his ancestors had done it before. Moreover, one of the countries known as Qin also used mature bronze casting technology to overturn the other six countries that used early iron tools, and successfully established the earliest unified empire.
With this powerful group of ancestors in place as a precedent, Tagio would not doubt the feasibility of using bronze to make weapons and armor. And if you take 10,000 steps back, even in the world of Azeroth, there is a practice of using bronze to make low-level equipment and other low-grade industrial parts.
I thought about the possibility of using bronze as the main material from beginning to end, and there were no problems in other places, except for two points, where Tagao was still a little worried.
The first is whether there is a suitable bronze blending technique in the heart of the castle. Bronze is an alloy, and the quality of this thing is largely determined by the different proportions between copper and tin.
If there is more copper, it will be soft and difficult to mold, and if there is more tin, the finished bronze product will be brittle because it is too hard.
Second, there is the question of whether these bronze products will be useful in the face of the enemy.
For these two questions of Tagao, the assistant AI of Round Rolling seems to be full of confidence. In its database, there is a fairly comprehensive blending ratio, and Round Roll only needs to select the appropriate blending ratio from the data table according to the actual needs, and then cooperate with the metal smelting equipment that is fully sufficient in the heart of the castle to be able to modulate the suitable bronze.
As for the second question, judging from the combat intensity of those gnolls that have been in contact with so far, the bronze weapons and equipment are completely sufficient to deal with them. It is important to know that bronze products are not much inferior to iron products in some attributes.
What about encountering stronger enemies in the future? What, it can't be that long ago, and it can't solve the supply problem of white steel, right? Not to mention the fact that along Dagger Ridge all the way to the west, near the coast, there is a famous mine of death.
Of course, it is still worth thinking about whether the death mine has been repaired at this time of the year. Maybe if you have the chance, you should bring a team of people to see it?
Thinking of this, Tagao simply snapped his fingers and summoned the magic map. Unfold and activate the map, then use your finger to mark the approximate location on the ground while explaining his thoughts to Sara and Round Roll.
Hearing that this location on this map may have a fairly good reserve of mines, not only Round Roll, but even Salo is interested.
