The guard said, "I don't know why. The city lord explains, and it only needs to be conveyed. ”

Ding Qin was even more puzzled, "Can you see Director Pang this morning?"

The guard said, "Director Pang has not arrived at the guest house of the Southern Council today, so we have not seen it either. ”

Ding Qin felt that this guard didn't know much about many things, and he was just passing on the word, and it would be useless to ask more, so he didn't ask more, but returned to the room, explained to Mo Hafei and Cheng Ying, and prepared to go.

Mo Hafei was very worried about Ding Qin's trip, "In case something happens, you should send us a signal." ”

Ding Qin said, "Since we are already in the city, I have sent a signal, and if we want to retreat as a team, I am afraid it will be difficult." In this way, if I do not return before dark today, you will be on guard against enemy attacks. I estimate that with the strength of the people in Ice Canal, it may not be so easy to really trap me, and I will come back to discuss with you then. ”

Mo Hafei nodded.

After that, Ding Qin went out and followed the three guards. Along the way, the four of them did not speak until they reached the South Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, the city lord Xiong Da was already waiting in the courtyard. He stepped forward a few steps, with a big smile on his face, "Ding Gongzi, I invited you here so early, I hope it didn't disturb your clarity." ”

Ding Qin also saluted politely, "The city lord is polite." It's just that I don't understand the specific intentions of the city lord, so I have a lot of speculation along the way, and I have always been uneasy. ”

"Hahahaha. Xiong Dahaha laughed, "It's also because I didn't explain it to them." In fact, there is nothing else to do, but the materials for quenching the Red Sky Meteorite have been prepared. This ore is a rare thing between heaven and earth, and I am also itching in my heart, so I can't hold back my curiosity and call Ding Gongzi here, hoping to see Gongzi's demeanor when he is refining earlier. ”

As soon as he said this, Ding Qin's hanging heart finally let go. It's just ironmaking, I guess he can't figure it out.

Ding Qin smiled, "Normal." If I had known that the materials were ready, I guess I wouldn't have wanted to start earlier. ”

In fact, Ding Qin was also sighing in his heart, this Ice Canal City is really not simple. In such a short period of time, all the materials were prepared, and some of them were precious materials that were extremely difficult to find.

But after thinking about it, this Chitian meteorite iron ore is even more of a heavenly treasure, even it has it, and maybe those quenching materials are not a problem.

With Xiong Da, Ding Qin entered the smelting room. In the middle of that, the massive smelting furnace had been removed, replaced by a half-human-tall vessel of incandescent crystal.

The whole container is carved into a tripod shape, with three legs and two ears, and a lid of the same material is placed on the side. On the edge of the tripod, some decoration has also been carried out, although rough, but also quite artistic.

In such a short period of time, the selection, carving, and completion of materials are enough to show the abundance of human resources and material resources in Bingqu City.

On one side of Dading, there are seven rows of tables, on which there are seventy-seven and forty-nine kinds of materials according to the order and broken lines written by Ding Qin at that time.

On the other side, there is a large vat, which is ordinary pottery, filled with clean water.

Ding Qin walked over and inspected the materials one by one, and almost every one of them had a superior texture. After reading it, he said to Xiong Da, "I didn't expect that the materials in Ice Canal City are so abundant, and the level of craftsmen in Ice Canal City is so high. ”

Xiong Dahaha laughed, "Ding Gongzi has won the award." No matter how rich the materials are, no matter how many craftsmen there are, they can't compare to a talent like you. People like you are the key to great things. ”

Ding Qin smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Xiong Da said again, "Why don't you start immediately and let me wait to open my eyes?"

Ding Qin said, "Of course you can." It's just that I have already told Director Pang Shi that this process will be extremely slow, and I hope the city lord will not be in a hurry. ”

"A good meal is not afraid of being late, and a good meal is not afraid of being late. Xiong Da couldn't hide his smile, waved his hand, called over seven or eight people behind him, and lined up, "This is our smelting master, I just want to learn from you, I hope you don't avoid them." ”

Ding Qin quickly understood his intentions, and said with a smile, "The method of smelting is not a secret, so it doesn't matter." ”

Xiong Da clapped his hands, "Okay, Ding Gongzi is open-minded!" After that, he turned to those people again, "You all remember, it is a blessing in your life to have such a master!"

One by one, they nodded frequently and took out a pen and paper from their bosoms to prepare.

Ding Qin walked to the water tank, tested the temperature of the water with his hands, took a deep breath, and under the operation of spiritual power, the water trick was activated.

A layer of dense fog condensed on the water tank, and under the guidance of Ding Qin, as for the top of Dading, it rained again later.

This kind of kung fu alone, I'm afraid that no one can do it if they are present.

Xiong Da could recognize the water trick, but he felt a little unbelievable about using the water trick to such an extent. And those craftsmen were even more dumbfounded.

Ding Qin explained, "Smelting, the most taboo impurities. The water we take looks pure, but there are many other substances in it. As soon as I treated it like this, the impurities were left in the water tank, and when they entered the ding, it was much purer. ”

It lasted for a while, and the water level in the ding reached seven or eight points. Ding Qin stopped pouring water into it, and from the table on the other side, he selected several materials, each of which was treated in a different way. In the process of processing, he also always maintained the explanation process. However, what he said is easy to understand, but if you really want to achieve his methods and effects, it is estimated that no one can do it in a short period of time.

After fifteen materials entered the water, a burst of red mist suddenly rose from the water. When the red mist dissipates, the water in the tripod is red but not dirty, and it is as clear as jade. Where the water meets the ding, there is a layer of bubbles, each of the same size, which neither merges with each other nor floats to the surface, maintaining a fairly stable state.

Ding Qin said, "Now, the stock solution has been formed. The day after tomorrow is the first day of the new year, which is the starting point of the monthly profit and loss change. At midnight, I'll come back and really start refining. In between, the stock solution is just left alone. However, no one can stir it. ”

Xiong Da hurriedly ordered, "Come on, look like this place, no one is allowed to enter." ”

Ding Qin made a move, and the tripod cover on the ground flew to the tripod accurately, covering the tripod mouth tightly. He turned to Xiong Da, "City Lord, this stage is complete, if there is nothing else, I want to leave first." ”

Xiong Da did not object, "Childe is self-determined, and Childe is self-determined." By the way, is there any need in the hospital?"

Ding Qin shook his head, "There are no special needs. By the way, after the night attack that night, some of the old men in my team were frightened, and if the city lord summoned me again in the future, he hoped to reduce the number of people entering the city, so as to facilitate their recuperation. ”

Xiong Da laughed again, "I'm negligent." I'm just afraid that the situation in this city is not stable, and there will be another attack. But just seeing Gongzi's skills, I'm afraid that there are few people in the city who can touch your hair. In the future, I will try to disturb the yard as much as possible. Now, if Childe wants to go back, I will send someone to escort him. ”

Ding Qin arched his hand, "Thank you to the city lord, but you don't need to escort it." I just happened to be in the middle of the city to get acquainted with it. If you see a material that can help you refine it, you can buy it as well. ”

Xiong Da nodded, "Okay, you are free, you are free." After speaking, he also made a gesture to ask Ding Qin to go out.

Ding Qin did not stay here again. He left the yard alone and entered the street.

After coming out, Ding Qin realized one thing.

During the whole process, Ji Shi, Pang Shi and others did not appear.

After a brief moment of doubt, he understood.

Xiong Da didn't want these people to know the refining method of the Red Sky Meteorite.

Pang Shi said that in Ice Canal City, it is the elected city lord. Therefore, the city lord and the deputy city lord, in addition to jointly governing the city, do not have much in common, and may still be potential opponents.

The same is true for other managers.

Therefore, Xiong Da brought Ding Qin here so early, most likely because he wanted to master the refining method of Chitian Meteorite alone. For this kind of natural treasure, after mastering the refining method, there is undoubtedly another bargaining chip for their family to continue to take charge of Ice Canal City.

If you think about it from this point of view, maybe you should not talk about it in so much detail in the subsequent refining?

But when I think about it, even if I talk about it, due to some reasons, some of these people may not be able to grasp it. He even wondered why he could remember these techniques.

Ding Qin walked around the street for a long time. He began to deliberately observe every street, every defense and evacuation facility here. There were at least nearly twenty days left before he finished refining the Red Sky Meteorite Iron Ore, which was enough for him to understand this city.

Moreover, the completion of smelting alone does not mean that Chitian meteorite is available. This special material, if you want to make a weapon, also needs a special method. If these people can't even smelt, they won't be able to make it.

When the time comes, they will definitely turn to Ding Qin again.

Because no one can stand it, get a treasure and can't use it.

If it is said that smelting the Red Sky Meteorite Iron is a kind of coercion from Bingqu City to Ding Qin, then in the second step, even if Ding Qin does not have the upper hand, the two sides are at least on an equal footing. It may not be too much to go out of the city in exchange for crafting weapons.

Unless, Ice Canal City has other plans.

Before dark, Ding Qin returned to the courtyard. Mo Hafei and Cheng Ying, who were waiting for him, breathed a sigh of relief, especially Cheng Ying, who deliberately did not leave the yard today.

Mo Yin still has no news. Ding Qin has already decided to find a way to go to the city to inquire from tomorrow. He never believed that with Mo Yin's adaptability, he would disappear so silently.

"How is the injured man?" Before going back to his room, Ding Qin asked first.
