After chopping their hands, Charles and Halkala left the business district and visited the dwarf's work area together.

The work area is the core of the entire Forge Sanctuary, which is enclosed by a wide and high wall.

In addition to the merchants, there are many people who come here with the same curiosity as they are, because of the unique architecture of the mainland.

At this time, Charles finally knew why Diana had to stabilize her three views. Although he had been mentally prepared, the scene in front of him was completely different from what he thought.

Because the houses here are all built of concrete, one of the essential artifacts of the traverser.

Charles, like many first-time visitors, touches here and knocks on the smooth walls.

The keeper of the city wall didn't care about this, and rented a small hammer for Charles, as long as you don't use the power of magic, you can knock it however you want.

Charles tossed the concrete wall in front of him with his hands and hammers, estimating its various parameters.

"me, slag cement?"

Looking at the city wall in front of him, which was harder than ordinary concrete, combined with the smelting workshops in this place, Charles thought of a high-strength cement.

The dwarf who rented the hammer by the city wall looked at the stunned Charles with a proud face, and this dwarf had seen a lot of people like him.

Charles has a deep understanding of cement, not only in its use, but also in its production process.

Unlike the earthen cement made by some of the novel's travelers, the cement used on the surface of the wall is almost up to the standard of an industrial product.

Cement with a particle diameter greater than 0.1 mm will have very low activity, and too large cement particles will also cause the strength of the concrete it has been configured to decrease. Just from what is visible to the naked eye, it can be seen that it is not possible to produce so much fine cement required to build the city wall by manpower alone.

The industrial production of cement can be simply summarized as "two grinding and one burning", but under these four words, there is a set of pyramid bodies composed of materials science, mechanics, chemistry and other disciplines.

Charles couldn't figure out how the dwarves could have made so much good cement in a world where the technology tree of the steam engine had been so deliberately suppressed that it didn't appear. And what kind of technical prowess and reserves do the dwarves who can make them - or forge meccas.

Without complaining about the two lines on the city wall that are more than one person high, "Solidify with heart, a hundred years of commitment", and "If you want to buy, please contact the sales department of Room 4, 1st Floor, Building 6, Office Area of the Forging Temple", Charles and Halcara, who is incarnated as a curious baby, walked into the depths of the work area to visit.

The houses in the work area are all rows of brick and concrete houses, surrounded by huge iron gates, on which are hung the names and logos of the workshops, as well as signs agreeing to visit or refusing to visit.

On the periphery of the house is a circle of flower beds that do not interfere with entry and exit, and rows of common flowers and plants are planted in it.

Coupled with slogans such as "Go to work happily, go home safely" and "Safety is under your feet, safety is in your hands, safety is accompanied by happiness, safety creates wealth" painted on the exterior wall of the factory, Charles feels that he is in the factory area of the 80s.

Large customers from all over the world travel from workshop to workshop to negotiate with workshop owners for large-scale procurement of various goods.

Due to the limited production here, the big customers representing the kingdoms have basically contracted out the production here, so that the nearby city of Avalon has not been able to get a month, and all kinds of weapons are actually in short supply.

It was also a common practice in the kingdoms to prevent weapons from becoming too widespread among the people.

Charles and Halkala visited several workshops, and the well-informed workshop owners knew that they were not here to buy, but they were customers, and when they were not there, they would have a special shopper to introduce them to their products.

In a workshop that produces plate armor, a shopping guide introduces Charles to a dagger.

"The most distinctive product of the Forging Holy Land is nothing more than a steel weapon. To make a good weapon, it is very important to work hard, from the original to the forging, you don't have a link that you can slack. The last level, tempering. Let's take our dagger, let's return to the fire at a low temperature for two hours, and improve its toughness under the premise of ensuring its hardness and wear resistance. ”

Then the shopping guide gently tapped the blade of the dagger with a small steel hammer, making a sharp and crisp sound.

"Does that sound good?" the shopping guide asked.

Charles nodded.

"Good sounds like good steel. The shopping guide said.

"Retail?" Charles asked.

"Absolutely. "We can also provide customized scabbards and grips." ”

So Charles bought six daggers, left the data of his palm, and then left the approximate data of Momiji and Diana, and then held a picture book with the appearance of a scabbard and chose the scabbard with Halcara on the side.

After a while, a group of people arrived in the workshop, including dwarves with long beards and humans led by an old man with white hair.

The white-haired old man saw Charles, who was sitting next to him studying the scabbard, and hurriedly walked over.

"Are you Charles McGarden?" the old man asked.

Charles hurriedly stood up, "Yes, Your Excellency. ”

The old man reached out and stroked Charles's hair, and said, "I'm Archer Elbach of Shield Bridge Academy, and I'm your grandfather's senior brother. I was passing by you the other day, and Aunt Saint-Angel told me about you. I've seen this mask that Aunt St. Angel gave you before. ”

Charles hurriedly greeted, "Hello, Professor Erbach. ”

Then he asked, "Excuse me, Professor, do you know Professor Remus Wolfe?"

"Tsk......" Professor Erbach smacked his lips disdainfully, "that old fellow who didn't know how to learn, couldn't help the old hammer solve the problem, and slipped away after hearing that I was coming." ”

The bearded old dwarf who had come with Professor Elbach also walked over, looked Charles, who was a little taller than him, up and down, and then stretched out his casserole-like palm and patted Charles on the shoulder a few times.

Fortunately, Charles was prepared, stabilized his figure, and was not slapped to the ground by the other party.

The dwarf saw that Charles was not knocked down, and nodded with satisfaction, "You are Tom's grandson, I am Rock Bryant, did your grandfather talk to me about you?"

Charles shook his head, he really hadn't heard Grandpa talk about dwarf friends.

"That's right. Bryant said proudly, "Because I beat your grandfather before!"

At this time, Erbach was on the sidelines, "It was because he was not good at drinking, and he couldn't drink Tom, so he beat Tom up while he was drunk." ”

Charles has a black line on the side, and his grandfather's life when he was young was really colorful.

At the end of the greetings, Bryant said to Charles, "We're going to solve some problems here today, would you be interested in hearing about it?"

Such a good opportunity to see the excitement Charles naturally would not miss it, and quickly nodded in agreement.
