Seeing that Ye Fengliu agreed to Na Xiren's suggestion so easily, everyone present was surprised.

Someone in the old school immediately began to beat their chests and sigh, "Nonsense, this baby obviously doesn't know the key to mineral processing!" How could you agree to such a proposal that was obviously unfavorable to you! ”

"Old Lu, why?" Some onlookers who didn't understand immediately opened their mouths to ask. "Sounds fair!"

"Xiao Lu, what do you know, there is a lot of attention to mineral processing." Seeing that Na Xiren was already instructing his men to transport the ginkgo biloba ore used in the competition, Lu Lao knew that the matter could not be reversed, so he sighed again and explained:

"The beneficiation duel only takes a minute, but the preparation is very cumbersome and time-consuming.

Therefore, according to the previous rules, the two sides of the duel will jointly mine one ton of ore in the designated mining area one day in advance, and then divide it into two parts evenly by the blind division method.

Ore separation is a time-consuming and delicate work, which is an important means to ensure that the two players do not interfere with each other and maintain the fairness of the duel during the mineral processing duel.

Now, according to the proposal of the new school, the dueling players want to choose the best quality 30 kilograms of ore in one minute, regardless of the mine.

In addition to testing experience and vision, it is also important to consider the level of agility, which means that having a brave class will give you a greater advantage.

And the old master of Midu is not only an excellent blacksmith, but also an intermediate warrior with a level of 15.

Therefore, even if it is a blacksmith who is a master of Lu Da who fights against Master Midu under the new rules, then he will fall into a disadvantage under the new rules and the defeat rate will increase greatly. ”

That Xiao Lu couldn't help but interject when he heard this: "But I think that the little girl who participated in the beneficiation in place of Lu Da's master is also an intermediate brave." To be able to wear the middle grade, it should be only higher than the meter, right? ”

Lu Lao's face was solemn: "You are all too young. Let's not talk about whether the little girl has the talent for mineral processing, you must know that the ore transported from the ginkgo mine cave has not been verified by both parties.

If the new faction has done something in the ore, then the outcome of the duel will speak for itself. ”

"Wouldn't our old school lose ......?"

……

The pessimistic atmosphere of the new school is markedly different from that of the old school.

"President Naphthalene's hand is so clever. But it's a bit of a fuss to deal with a little girl. ”

"That's it, what kind of character is Master Midu? That's a genius in mineral processing, except for Lu Da, I haven't heard of anyone else who can be equal to him in mineral processing skills.

Beneficiation is a more talent test, and it sounds amazing to be able to tell which piece is of higher quality from the same ore. ”

"This time our new faction has won. Beneficiation is the most critical part, and the iron used in the next three links must come from the 30 kg of ore selected.

If I were to pick a piece of copper ore, I would probably be able to give up the first four duels. The old school dared to send four children to participate in such an important duel, I really don't know which tendon was wrong. Haha......"

While everyone was discussing, a ton of ginkgo mine ore had been transported to a stone platform that had already been erected in the middle of the courtyard.

These ores are obviously carefully selected, and they are almost the same in size and color, and each piece weighs about a catty.

In order to use them to select 30 kg of ore in one minute, you need to pick at least one ore per second on average, and you need to pick a total of 60 ores.

He-Man and Mi were already standing opposite each other on either side of the stone platform, waiting for the mayor to speak, and they could start picking the ore they thought they were happy with.

Mi Du looked at the ore with subtle scratches, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, those were selected by him in advance.

Every piece of scratched iron ore must be of more than 20 quality iron ore, which is no different from the highest quality standard of 25 for ore.

This allows him to ensure that the total quality of the 30 kilograms of ore selected in one minute is not less than 1200, and the highest beneficiation record he previously set was 1021.

It is said that the old school of Lu Da is the creator and holder of this highest record, and the total quality of 30 kilograms of ore has reached an astonishing 1158, but this record is about to be left behind by his master Midu.

"Let's go!" Mayor Yu finally issued the password for the duel to begin.

Midu immediately spun around the stone platform quickly, and at the same time his hands quickly grasped the ore with the slight scratches.

While selecting ore, Midu deliberately or unconsciously hindered He-Man with his body and arms, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile.

He decided to slow down the beneficiation a little and spend more effort interfering with Shangy, because he had some bad taste to see the little girl crying because she didn't have time to complete the beneficiation.

However, he noticed that Sea-Man didn't seem to be as flustered as he thought, and that he picked ores with both hands very casually and quickly.

Just when he secretly speculated that Heman must have made such a rash move because of his interference, and was secretly proud of it, He-Man had already raised his hand and shouted, "I'm done." ”

"It was done in 40 seconds with my interference." Midu's breath was a little scattered, although he deliberately delayed the speed of his beneficiation, but even if he tried his best to complete it in 40 seconds, it was impossible to do it.

In fact, even if the ore is marked, it is not a small challenge for him to find it in 60 seconds. The more anxious Midu became, the more scrambling he became, but he finally found the last marked piece of ore a second before the end of the minute.

Next, entering the tasting session, Ye Fengliu found that the device used to evaluate the ore actually adopted the spectral analysis method.

Because the equipment used to analyze the ore turned out to be a crystal ball, this crystal ball can emit white magic light under the mana of the staff, and the white light will produce corresponding color changes according to the quality of the ore when it shines on the ore, and finally automatically give an analysis reading on the crystal ball.

"Black technology!" Ye Fengliu complained secretly, and looked at the eyes of this ore evaluation device that were immediately full of greed.

The first evaluation was 30 kilograms of ore selected by Midu, and unsurprisingly, the total evaluation of 60 ores was as high as 1276, with an average quality of more than 21 per ore.

"Congratulations to Master Midu, you have set the highest record for a beneficiation duel." Na Xiren immediately clenched his fists and said loudly to Midu.

Immediately, there was a round of applause from the new faction, and the faces of the old faction were even more gloomy.

"Let's take a look at the results of the talented players who finish the beneficiation in 40 seconds." Midu looked smug and sarcastically drew everyone's attention to He-Man.

"Am I a genius? My grades are just a little bit higher than those of the masters. Seaman looked at Midu with a look of surprise and seriousness, "Does Master Midu also think that I have the talent to be a miner?" ”

"Uh......" Mi Du almost scolded when he heard this, he didn't recognize that this was Her Royal Highness the Princess, so he scolded in his heart: "This girl is so shameless!" Who gives you confidence? ”

However, he chose to remain silent after all, because of his identity, and just signaled the official in charge of operating the evaluation equipment to hurry up, wanting to use reality to let Seaman know how to behave.

"The first ore is 23 iron ore, the second ore is 24 iron ore, and the third ore is 25 iron ore......" Midu's heart became heavier and heavier as the ore was tasted and read.

The expressions of the new faction changed from ridicule to silence, and finally to surprise and disbelief.

When the ore quality reading remained stable above 23, the meter had begun to despair.

His eyes were red as he stared at the results on the crystal ball, and he began to mumble incessantly, "This can't be, this can't ......"

He pinned his last hope on the presence of copper in the ore selected by Seaman, and in the end, in an extremely nervous state, he couldn't help but shout: "Copper ore...... Copper ......"

Unfortunately, the tasting results of the last ore showed: "...... The 60th ore is a 25 quality iron ore. ”

"The total evaluation of 60 ores is 1468, and the average quality of each ore is above 24, congratulations to Master Liu Ximan, you have created the highest record of mineral processing duel, and you are the most talented genius in mineral processing ever!" Lu Yi's voice trembled, and his eyes looked at Seaman with excitement.

"Relying on cheating, I was still completely victorious." Seeing this, Mi Du almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, and he covered his face and walked away in despair.

A dark horse appeared in the first link of the stock fundraising duel, and the morale of the old school was suddenly boosted, and their faces also showed a rare hint of joy.

"Director Qi, don't worry, maybe it's just the princess's luck. In the next showdown, there will definitely be no more suspense, and no one can beat Master Meng and a few others. Na Xiren was comforting the director of the Hongyuan Commercial Bank, where Mayor Yu had already opened his mouth and announced:

"The beneficiation duel in the first link was very exciting, and Master Liu Ximan won with an amazing record. Next, enter the smelting duel. ”

The smelting duel is relatively simple, with an ore refining furnace of the same type on each side of the courtyard, one for each of the new and old factions.

The refined ore is the 30 kilograms of iron ore selected in the beneficiation process.

After the mayor of the town announced the start of the smelting duel, Master Li Geng, who was elected by the new faction, confidently poured the 30 kilograms of ore selected by Midu into the refining furnace in front of him.

Although the overall quality of the ore is worse than that of the old school, Li did not take it to heart, he has the ancestral technique of increasing the temperature of the furnace, and is the only blacksmith family who has mastered the ability to melt all iron ore into molten iron.

What's more, the little girl named Shang Yi who was fighting against him looked weak, and it was doubtful whether she could pull the bellows, and Li secretly regretted that the 30 kilograms of top-grade iron ore selected by Liu Ximan would be more perfect if it could be handed over to him for refining.

Li Geng quickly filled the fiery red coal that his men had been burning for 20 minutes into the bottom of the refining furnace at the same time, and at the same time quickly pulled the bellows.

As a result, the temperature of the refining furnace began to rise rapidly, and soon reached the limit value of 1200 degrees, at which time the iron ore was already in a semi-melted state, and the general blacksmith workshop could only get this kind of cast iron, and if you want to improve the quality of the cast iron, you can only rely on the next repeated forging.

At this time, Li smiled proudly, continued to pull the bellows quickly with his right hand, and took out two paper bags from his arms with his left hand. He poured the yellow powder into the furnace, and the other black powder was sprinkled on the burning coal at the bottom of the furnace.

When the coal is stained with black powder, it ignites, and the furnace temperature rises rapidly again. The iron ore with yellow powder also began to melt at an accelerated rate.

Li even skimmed off the slag floating in the molten iron in time, and finally poured the molten iron into the concave mold, and the ore refining was finally completed.

Li wiped the sweat from his forehead with more satisfaction, and then he had time to see the refining situation on Shang Yi's side.

However, he found that Shang Yi didn't know when he had already completed the refining, and even the dark red molten iron was about to solidify in the mold, and what was even more amazing was that the quality of the iron water was obviously much better than the result of his refining.

Li Geng was shocked when he saw this, ignoring the fact that he might have been defeated, he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and actually ran to Shang Yi's side and asked, "Master Shang Yi, how did you do it?" ”
