CHAPTER XVI
The last hammer fell, and Clarence, who felt a tingling in his arms, straightened up, stretched his waist and said to them a little tiredly, "The old man has done his job today, but is it necessary to do it in such a hurry? Is there any danger during this time? The purchase of weapons and armor is not much different from before, is it okay to suddenly make such a large number of weapons and armor? The iron reserves in the warehouse are almost used up by you,"
Over, he was sweating all over his cheeks because it was too hot to stand next to the railway, and old Tom took a few breaths and replied: "You are still too young, such a long period of stability proves that this is about to break out into a big event, don't worry, building these equipment will definitely not let us wear the library, by the way, you give me a trip to school today, I have contacted the teachers there to provide them with a batch of standard equipment,"
Nodding knowingly, Cross finally knew why the old man was stricter than before today, no wonder he didn't let himself join the idea and build equipment, but he must build knowledge in the most basic direction, it turned out that the academy signed a contract,
I, because there will be a large number of demons outside after a while, and there are still a large number of wild beasts raging around, so no matter which city it is, the most important thing is to be prepared.
As a defense force engaged in the front line, it is naturally a demon hunting team that specializes in dealing with demons, and a guard corps to protect the city, in addition to these two most important troops, some of the remaining other troops are not weak in combat effectiveness at all, but because they have not been specially trained, they will naturally be worse than these two ace troops in defending the city and dealing with demons.
In addition to these troops eating, as the last defensive line of the city is the students of the academy, as a special academy that is necessary for every city, in which, in addition to teaching students the cultivation methods of the four major schools, most of the remaining courses are related to actual combat, it can be said that an ordinary student pulled out of the academy, the combat effectiveness may not be much lower than that of a soldier, even if the students of the school who are not good at fighting still have considerable combat effectiveness,
So for these ordinary people who make a living in the city, what they like most is to do business with the military, because due to the particularity of the clan, they will not owe any money to the residents, and because it is the army, once an order is placed, then the quantity requirements are generally very large, of course, this most popular business is covered by several of the largest business houses
After all, even if the army handed over the order to Clarence and them, they had no way to create tens of thousands of pieces of equipment within a few days of the requirements, so the most popular among these low-level people was actually the school room, except for the cultivators of hundreds of schools, the equipment of the cultivators of the three schools was basically the responsibility of the academy, but considering that in order not to make the students overly dependent, and also to appropriately reduce the cost of expenditure, so when they distributed equipment, they would generally find a few blacksmith shops in the city, and then purchase a large number of standard equipment,
Yesterday's standard equipment is the most basic equipment, usually speaking, the level of standard equipment is bronze, of course, the standard equipment grade of some special forces can still reach silver or even gold, but the standard equipment used by Xuan is naturally bronze,
The price of this kind of equipment that can be easily built even by a forger is naturally quite cheap, but the team forging master can also earn a lot of difference, for example, this time, if the business with the academy goes well this time, then Old Tom can at least harvest more than 6000 gold coins, which is a very high amount of money for the two of them, you know, Clarence has bought materials and books and other things over the years, and the total cost of the words consumed is only 3000 gold coins.
"Old man, the academy, how much knowledge and equipment do they have over there? 6,000 gold coins can't be nearly 5,000 sets, ah, can we finish the fight by the two of us? And it doesn't seem to be enough time,"
Terrance is right to be worried, it will take more than half a month for the two of them to create a thousand sets of equipment, and they will not sleep until they can do it, 5,000 sets of equipment may not be able to be completed in a year.
A sly smile appeared on my face, old Tom waved his hand, and said very irresponsibly: "This is not my business, what I am responsible for is to let your kid help the student to speak, as for how to complete these equipment in the future, that is your problem, anyway, this is the method of building equipment, you must have kept it in mind,"
A look of astonishment crossed his pupils, and Clarence hurriedly waved his hand and asked, "Wait, old man, I didn't hear it clearly, what do you mean? You mean that I will fight all these 6,000 sets of equipment by myself, right? You are not joking, right? Even if I am not exhausted from playing these equipment, it will take me at least two or three years to finish this thing, is it possible that your academy has made a treaty after three years?"
"No, my academy said that the delivery would be delivered in two months," seeing Clarence's appearance of not breathing, the old man said with a smile: "You don't want to think about it, if I said that this batch of orders will be completed within two years, why would that academy ask us to do this batch of orders?" It must be because we have an advantage in some way, I'm just a poor old blacksmith, there is only one apprentice like you in the shop, one is five-star and one is three-star, and other blacksmith shops usually have a six-star cultivator who occupies the table, pitiful, the two of us together can't beat others, so I have no choice but to make this decision,"
A fist smashed on the noodle in front of him, Clarence gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Tao, it's not like this to play, is it?" Ah, you let me build 5,000 sets of armor in two months by myself, this is not the level of embarrassment, no, I won't do this,"
"Then there is no way, if you don't do it, I can only go to the academy to negotiate with them, but due to the recent turmoil outside, several leaders on the side of the academy are also more short-tempered, I hope they won't let me apologize with death, if I really let me apologize with death, with my old bones, I can only do it,"
Staring at the old man tightly, Clarence took a deep breath and said weakly: "Okay, the old man is ruthless, I know, I'll just fight, isn't it just 5,000 sets of equipment?"
After leaving such a sentence, Clarence walked into the forge room with a sad face, but although he just talked about how to talk about it, but as long as he did it, he was indeed a little worried, 5000 sets of equipment were converted into two months, and at least nearly 90 sets of equipment a day had to be played before it was possible to complete the task, which was equivalent to forging 3 to 4 sets in an hour,
The so-called standard suit refers to the helmet armor made of steel, leg armor, equipped with a small shield and a one-handed sword, and also carries a vajra longbow, so a set of standard equipment can be regarded as a set of standard equipment.
Living next to the railroad and staring at the blazing flames of the forge, Clarence frowned and thought, "Impossible, no matter what way you think about it, I can't do this in such a short time, what the hell does the old man think?"
There are not a few people with strong work skills, even for some masters, it is impossible to forge these standard equipment in such a short time, and the most important reason is that the equipment in the old Tom's shop is so poor.
First of all, when you get the equipment, you need to smelt the seal into molten iron, and this process is quite time-consuming. Even if the old Tom's dilapidated Ronglu is driven to the maximum power, it will take about 20 minutes to give me enough fine paste to melt into molten steel, and then inject high water into the mold for cooling, and it will take a while, although this time can be freed up to do other things, but even if the two are added or subtracted, it is impossible to clean up nine sets of equipment.
"There's no way to make those high water melt faster? Hey, I've talked to the old man several times before about changing the abrasives in the shop, how could I think of such a pick, but now I have encountered this serious problem at this juncture, the most important thing is that this furnace is too old, even if you want to add some slightly more advanced accessories, there is no way, is it possible to achieve no good way to make the molten steel dissolve faster? Hey, it's a pity that it's the aspect of blacksmithing, if it's alchemy, I have some way,"
When he thought of this, only a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, he sat up suddenly, and began to draw a magic array on the ground, about four or five minutes later, a magic array with a diameter of about five meters was roughly depicted by it, and after adding a lowest-level flame rough stone to the gap in the center of the magic array, Clarence began to chant the incantation softly, and with the end of the composition, I am afraid that a large number of flames immediately surged in the center,
A smile rose on his crimson face, which was illuminated by the flames, and without saying a word, Clarence took out the cauldron dedicated to alchemy from his room, and then began to pour all kinds of materials into it.
"The main materials are all flame flowers, and then supplemented by some rock powder to improve its purity, but unfortunately the number of fire sources, spars is too small, if there is that thing, the purity can be improved very high, then the effect should be better, but just smelting molten iron, this degree is probably enough,
It took about forty or fifty minutes for Cross to finally connect the whole English liquid bull in the cauldron, and he saw that he was holding a round belly the size of a palm, and inside it was a crimson color that seemed to flow with a flame luster, and even through a special bottle, Cross could feel a strong temperature coming through the bottle,
Bringing King Kong, which was used as a crafting material, to the side of the furnace, and loading it into the cauldron above the furnace, the cork of the Kunrensburg Taiping Belly Bottle, poured a little liquid into it, just a drop of dark red liquid slipped from the mouth of the bottle, and the terrible heat had already been transmitted, and this slightly cramped room was completely filled with the temperature of the trick in a short moment,
And when that drop of red liquid fell on the heavy hard steel, the huge steel was instantly melted into a puddle of molten iron, seeing this scene Palos showed an excited smile on his face, things are the same as he thought, this special potion refined by alchemy is usually only used as a special fuel or as a cannonball, but I didn't expect that it can also be used to melt steel, and the effect is unexpectedly good,
"Oh, if I can dissolve the steel through this method, then I can probably find a way to quickly make the steel complex, and in addition to this, I have to find a way to speed up my typing, after all, even if I can prepare the materials perfectly, but in the end if I lose in the build, it will be useless," the temperature of the trick,

I, thinking of this, went into his room without saying a word, and began to study other potions, if he was not mistaken, this time it was possible to succeed, and the probability of success depended entirely on these special methods, that is, the combination of alchemy and blacksmithing,
It took almost two days, and he finally figured out some doorways a little, as he thought, the two technologies can indeed be perfectly integrated, but as for how to do it, he still needs to study it again, and because he has spent too much time on alchemy in the past two days, so he, the number of armor creations is still zero,
Standing at the door and looking at Clarence silently, Old Tom had a somewhat relieved smile on his face, things had developed to this point, and it was basically the result he wanted to see the most,
"That's right, that's it, putting all your energy into the forging is doing, fusing alchemy and forging together, this is your true power,"
Clarence, who had no idea that he seemed to be being calculated by old Tom, had spent days of sleepless research, and finally reluctantly made a rough plan for his future.

Through the method of alchemy, she found the fastest way to fuse the medicinal materials together, and through the special enchantress to melt the steel, and then pray sincerely for the steel, and now his remaining task is to study his own forging skills, to find his own way, to be able to quickly complete these weapons,
