Along with the memory, the dwarf Muru completely recounted the process of refining the iron ball.

In the process of his narration, Xu Yi kept asking about the details, even how high the temperature of the furnace he was using at that time.

"This ...... Temperature?" Muru scratched at a messy canopy's hair, a little puzzled. "President Xu, what you mean by how big the fire is, right? I can't say this, I can only tell you that I burn it as usual, and it is not particularly prosperous. ”

Xu was also a little helpless, Sainz Continent does not have a detailed record of all processes like on Earth, which is actually a major flaw in the process of promoting industrialization, and it seems that he must find a way to solve this problem.

Of course, this issue can only be postponed, and the most important thing at the moment is the iron ball in hand.

After asking Mu Lu a few times, Xu Yi couldn't get a satisfactory answer, so he had to ask Mu Lu to simply rehearse the process that day.

Hearing that President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was interested in the iron ball smelted by Muru, the other dwarves who were originally smelting the real yàn also gathered around.

In front of everyone, Muru thought for a while and lit a bright fire.

The first half was just a very normal smelting process, and Xu Yi didn't see anything special, but when the molten iron in the boiler had begun to tumble, Mu Lu picked up a can of powder glowing with a little silver and poured it in, but the situation in the boiler changed instantly.

As soon as the powder was poured in, it immediately melted with the molten iron in the boiler, and after a while, the molten iron, which had been tumbling continuously due to the high temperature, tumbled even more violently, and the originally red molten iron began to be mixed with a trace of silver light.

The process of iron-making is actually quite boring, and Sluka was worried that Xu Yi would be bored at first, but he found that Xu Yi was staring at the molten iron in the boiler from beginning to end, his eyes were almost unblinking, and his expression was active and focused, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Why does this President Xu care so much about this strange so-called alloy?

It was already afternoon when Xu Yi came to the dwarf tribe, and by the time this furnace of molten iron was successfully refined, it was already night.

During this period, Xu Yi stayed by the boiler, except for a trip to the toilet in the middle, he was motionless.

In addition to this, he also took out a notebook and recorded the whole process, as well as the order and amount of materials used by Muru.

After waiting for the molten iron to cool down and gradually form a round ball in the mold, Xu Yi carefully compared the iron ball this time, and the iron ball he found before, and determined that there was not much difference between the two iron balls, and then confirmed that Muru really restored the smelting process last time.

Seeing that it was getting late, Sluka wanted to invite Xu Yi back to the tribe for dinner, but Xu Yi directly refused.

Finally discovered a new type of alloy, Xu Yi was in a state of excitement, as a mechanical engineer work enthusiasm is exploding, naturally reluctant to leave at this time.

So Sluka simply asked the tribesmen to bring dinner here, and while the dwarves were eating dinner with Xu Yi, they were conducting various tests on the iron ball according to Xu Yi's request.

After a series of tests, Xu Yi finally determined that this alloy, which has undergone a strange change due to the addition of silver leaf grass powder, may be slightly inferior in terms of hardness, but in terms of ductility and plasticity, it is very close to ordinary aluminum alloy on earth, and much stronger than the pig iron commonly refined on the continent of Sainz.

What's more, the alloy infused with silver leaf grass powder has been piled up in the corner for nearly two months, but no rust has appeared.

Even without any anti-rust treatment, it automatically has the properties of stainless steel!

Xu Yi was holding the iron ball that had been somewhat deformed after undergoing various performance tests, and he was extremely excited.

The reason why he came to the dwarf tribe this time was actually because the Sluka patriarch contacted the dwarves of other dwarf tribes, and he came to try to pull some dwarves back to join the magic machine shop.

Although it has not yet undergone any identification, Xu can be sure that this new alloy, which he temporarily named Silver Leaf Alloy, may be difficult to apply to large magic machinery due to its own hardness, but it will definitely have a very wide range of uses in light household magic machinery.

For example, the magic rice cooker recently developed and vigorously promoted by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, if this alloy is used, the weight of the magic rice cooker will be greatly reduced.

This alone can definitely make the magic rice cooker even more popular.

After the multi-faceted test of the silver leaf alloy was completed, Xu Yi immediately asked the Shluka patriarch to do another multi-faceted test of the silver leaf alloy with the dwarves of the tribe.

For example, change the content of the added silver leaf powder, change the temperature of the furnace fire, add some other materials, and so on......

At the same time, he also publicly rewarded Muru with twenty gold coins in the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as a commendation for his invention of a new alloy.

With his knowledge of materials testing on Earth, he believes that any small change can change the final properties of alloys.

The appearance of this silver leaf alloy is because of an accident, if there are a few more accidents, he will definitely support it.

In addition to this silver leaf alloy, Xu Yi rummaged through the pile of discarded iron balls again, and found a somewhat special iron ball.

Although this iron ball is not as conspicuous as the silver leaf alloy, and the performance is not so outstanding, after testing, Xu Yi was surprised to find that this iron ball greatly exceeds ordinary pig iron in terms of hardness and wear resistance.

For heavy machinery, especially large machine tools, such alloy steel is extremely needed.

Xu Yi once again asked the Sluka patriarch to let the dwarves of the tribe conduct further research on this alloy steel at the same time.

This time, Patriarch Sluka did not agree as readily as he had just now, but instead looked embarrassed.

"President Xu, I'm afraid there aren't enough people in the tribe now. If you hadn't pulled away the campy, it would have been fine to do both at the same time, but now you can see that the tribe still has people who can do these things here, and there are only a dozen of them, and I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill your request. ”

Xu Yi looked left and right, and found that Patriarch Sluka was not exaggerating.

Since he pulled away the hundred dwarves led by Kanbi from the tribe, most of the remaining dwarves in this tribe are now old and weak, women and children, and those who can still carry out high-intensity smelting are only a dozen dwarves here.

"Well, Patriarch Sluka, tomorrow the Angolan tribe is not going to come to negotiate with me, and when the time comes, I will talk to them about this matter, and it is better to persuade their tribe to take over the research of one of the alloys. Of course, it's best if Patriarch Sluka is able to connect with more of your dwarven brothers. Now I am in dire need of manpower, mainly qualified dwarven craftsmen, as many as I want. Xu Yi thought for a while.

Sluka didn't agree, but frowned and looked at Xu Yi.

"President Xu, are you going to make your factory full of dwarves?"

Xu Yiyi was stunned: "Of course not, there are still more humans in my factory now." ”

Sluka shook her head, "President Xu, I think I have to warn you that if there are too many of us dwarves in your factory, I'm afraid there will be problems." ”

Xu Yi was a little puzzled: "What can go wrong? I just let the dwarf brothers go to work with me, what can be the problem?"

Sluka sighed, "President Xu, I know you have good intentions, but not everyone of you humans is like you. What's more, your human leaders may not think the same way. It's fine that a small number of our dwarves are present in your human society, but if a large number of dwarves appear together, I fear that it will get you and us dwarves in trouble. ”

Xu Yi couldn't help frowning: "Racial wars were all thousands of years ago, are you still worried about this, Patriarch Sluka?"

Patriarch Sluka waved his hand: "It is impossible to have another race war, I am just worried that it will cause your human leaders to be vigilant, and when the time comes, our dwarf brothers are afraid that it will not bring you benefits, but will cause you trouble." ”

Xu Yi pondered for a moment, and finally had to admit that Patriarch Sluka was not bad.

Although the Sainz Continent is currently completely led by humans, and other races have no capital to compete with humans, racial barriers still exist.

It is not a problem for Xu Yi to recruit a hundred or hundreds of dwarves to work for him, but if he recruits thousands or even thousands of dwarves, it is likely to arouse the vigilance of the big names in the Lampari Kingdom.

With so many aliens, do you want to rebel?

"Alas, it seems that no matter what world you are in, business cannot completely get rid of the political factor. Xu Yi sighed secretly in his heart, thought about it, and nodded to Patriarch Sluka: "Thank you Patriarch for your reminder, I will pay attention to this problem." However, I don't think there will be any problems in this area at this stage, and my Chamber of Commerce is indeed very short of manpower right now, so please pay more attention to this aspect of the matter. If it really doesn't work, I can't say that I'm completely unprepared. ”

President Sluka nodded his head slightly, "Okay, President Xu, you are a smart human, I believe you will have a solution." As for the dwarven brothers of the other tribes, there is no need to worry......" At this, President Sluka showed a wry smile on his face, and he looked helpless. "Their lives are no better now than they were before in our tribe. ”
