"I told you, ordinary materials can't withstand the energy of attribute runes at all. ”

Seeing that the armor's arm was deformed in the heat of the flames, the hammer fire on the side laughed.

Since the breakthrough of attribute runes, Orton and the others have been doing research in this area, because they know very well that the future development direction of magic energy must be attribute, but as the research deepens, they gradually discover the disadvantages of attribute runes.

Not too weak, but too strong.

The energy burst by the attribute runes is far more powerful than pure magic energy, so although it can be equipped on the armor technically, it is not feasible in terms of materials, and basically ordinary armor materials are difficult to bear, so you can only use more advanced or simply the most advanced materials.

But this kind of material is not easy to find, the materials in the sky are already very scarce, among which there are even fewer materials that can be called high-grade or even top-level, and more importantly, these materials are very expensive, although Rocky is not short of money now, but he definitely can't afford this kind of expense, in desperation, Orton can only use ordinary armor to experiment, of course, the result of each experiment is the same, all armor is scrapped.

"I just said that you have to use the steel essence refined by the Steel Fury Demon to conduct the test, otherwise any test will be worthless. ”

Sitting at the table, Hammerfire pouted, his expression still a little indignant.

Because he had long suggested that everyone should use the metal refined from the body of the Steel Fury Demon for experiments, only this level of metal can withstand the energy generated by the attribute runes, and only the experimental data obtained on this basis is useful, but Orton They have not allowed it, the reason is very simple, because the metal refined by the Steel Fury Demon is too precious.

In the market, this metal is called steel spirit, and the price is as high as hundreds of thousands of gold coins per gram, and although Rocky killed a steel fury demon and refined a lot of steel essence from the corpse of the steel fury demon, the amount is only enough to make the white demon battle armor, and there is no extra steel essence for testing, so even if Orton knows that Hammer Fire is right, he can't do it.

"Is that so?"

After listening to Hammerfire's words, Rocky looked at Orton, and then saw Orton nod helplessly.

"Teacher, how much does it cost to buy enough test materials?"

Seeing Orton nodding, Rocky immediately asked.

As mentioned before, researching this kind of thing is actually burning money, so even if Orton and they are already very frugal, there are still some expenses that are necessary, such as the cost of steel fine, so Lodge knows very well that he must not save in this regard.

"If you save a little, you will need about 10 million gold coins. ”

Looking at Rocky, Orton reluctantly said a number.

10 million gold coins!

That's the cost of experimenting with attribute runes, and it's a conservative estimate!

Why did Orton always disagree with the method of hammering fire and directly use the existing steel essence to conduct experiments? It was because he knew that once this kind of experiment was launched, the cost would be like a bottomless pit, indeed, he did have the ability and confidence to apply the attribute runes to the new generation of white demon battle armor, but he also knew that this was too much of a burden on Rocky.

Now Rocky's life is indeed much better than it was at the beginning, the two Sky Cities plus the Back Mountain Village are enough to produce millions of gold coins every quarter, but Orton also knows very well that half of these millions of gold coins have been invested in the research institute, in this case, where can Rocky get 10 million gold coins?

So not only did he not agree to the hammer fire's method, but he didn't even ask Rocky for money, he still hoped not to burden Rocky as much as possible, after all, Rocky was too difficult.

In fact, Rocky was also shocked when he heard this number, he knew that research was expensive, but he didn't expect that it would cost so much money, 10 million gold coins?

But after frowning and thinking about it, he finally nodded at Orton!

"Teacher, I'll figure out how to deal with money, you give me the list you need, and I will immediately ask the Chamber of Commerce to buy everything you need. ”

"Haha! I'll just say it, I'll say this kid will definitely be able to handle it!"

When Rocky said this, the hammer fire on the table waved his little fist and shouted excitedly, and Anier and Proya on the side also walked over.

"Are you sure, Rocky? That's not a small amount. ”

Looking at Rocky, Proya couldn't help but ask worriedly, 10 million gold coins is indeed not a small amount, let alone Rocky, even some research projects carried out by large Sky Cities may not dare to invest so much.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. ”

Smiling at Proya, Rocky turned around and left the research room, with Orton them, he definitely didn't have to worry about research, what he had to do now was to find a way to get money, as long as he could get enough money, Rocky believed that with Orton's accumulation over the years, it wouldn't be long before a new generation of White Devil Warframes could be created.

So after leaving the institute, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and then called Erin again to inquire about the current financial situation.

According to Erin, there are still more than 1.5 million gold coins in the cash in the city, and if it is possible to increase it by another 2 million gold coins in a month, because the minerals produced in Beishan Village and the income of the two cities in this quarter will be received.

Of course, this is only the income produced under Rocky's rule, not counting the money for the production of battle armor in the arsenal, and if the arsenal completes all the orders for the Thunderhawk battle armor, Rocky will probably be able to earn millions of gold coins, if he continues to wait for a while, when the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce can mass-produce rune warships, then his income will be more, and at that time, for every battleship sold by the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce, Rocky can extract 20% of the income from it, and this income is almost unlimited.

That is to say, if it continues to develop so steadily, Rocky's development can definitely be described as thriving, but for the current Rocky, it is far from quenching his thirst, and it will take several months for the arsenal to complete all the orders, and he doesn't have so much time, let alone waiting for the Apple Tree Chamber of Commerce to give him a share, he needs 10 million gold coins now, now!

So after that, Rocky fell into a long period of contemplation, he thought of a lot of ways, and did think of a lot of ways, with his current ability and connections, it is not particularly difficult to get 10 million, at least he can borrow it, and Rocky believes that many people are willing to lend him this money, but he doesn't want to do it, because he thought of a better way.

"Lilia, help me get Grand. ”

Glancing at Lilia, Rocky said that he was going to meet the ambassador of the Sky Alliance who had left him by his side, after all, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time......!
