"Ankato, you see, this is our latest aluminum-tungsten alloy, which is also mixed with a little moon weed flower dew, although the hardness is not as good as pure steel, but it is much stronger in corrosion resistance and toughness, and more importantly, ...... You take it and try it. ”

Ankatoyi Yan picked up a silvery-white alloy ingot with a hint of dark brown, and the dwarf Porto immediately asked excitedly, "How is it?

"Well, it's very light, indeed. Ankato cushioned the alloy ingot in his hand and nodded involuntarily. "It seems that the proportion of aluminum in this should be relatively high, and I know very well that tungsten gold is much heavier than iron. ”

"What is heavy, that is density!" Porto threw Ancato a disdainful look. "Haven't you read the latest book of "Basic Standards for Industrial Materials" written by the president? ”

Ancato couldn't help but roll his eyes, just now it was Porto himself who asked him if he was light, but now he accused him of answering with "heavy".

However, about the "Basic Standards for Industrial Materials" published by the elder half a month ago, Ankato also studied it for the first time, and knew that Porto was right, so he didn't bother to refute it.

Moreover, Porto was sent to lead some dwarves to serve as the technical director of this non-ferrous metal smelting plant, and by the way, he has been using the non-ferrous metal veins rich in non-ferrous metal varieties for material research for several months, and now that the results are available, it is understandable that he is a little excited.

"Well, the density of this aluminum-tungsten alloy is lower than that of ordinary steel, and the corrosion resistance and toughness are also stronger than that of ordinary steel. And what about the downsides?" Ankato asked after a moment's thought.

"Let's talk about the shortcomings. It's just not hard enough. Porto sighed. Shaking his head: "You see, if I am an aluminum-tungsten alloy pipe with such a thick finger, I can bend it as long as I use a little, which is much worse than a pure steel pipe." ”

Ankato looked at the finger that was the thickness of his two thumbs sticking out of Porto, and thought to himself, if this was the case, then this aluminum-tungsten alloy would be a little worse than ordinary pure steel in terms of impact resistance.

But when you think about the dwarves' natural incredible strength, Ankato doesn't seem like a big deal.

After bowing his head and thinking seriously for a while, Ankato said, "Look at it this way." This material is ideal for making housings and some support frames for household magic machines. As long as it is not a part of the load-bearing capacity, it should be able to be used. Now many of the household magic machines produced by our chamber of commerce can not be replaced by plastic, and the use of pure steel is a bit wasteful, which is just right. ”

"Hehe, we experimented with this thing to do this. Porto cracked his mouth and smiled, and added, "By the way, I found this thing to be very good for windows." You see, this thing is much stronger than wood, it's also very resistant to corrosion, and it lasts much longer. ”

"Oh, that's what you say. Not only for windows, but also for many places in the home. Ankato thought for a moment. Nodding and saying: "I suddenly feel that this aluminum-tungsten alloy has a wide range of uses, at least in ordinary housing, there can be many places." Okay, I'll go back and tell Lord Sù, I think he can talk to the Amrley Chamber of Commerce, this thing must be very much needed by the Amritri Chamber of Commerce. ”

"I'll leave this kind of thing to you, I don't care. Porto waved his hand, suddenly looked left and right, took a step closer to Ankato, and whispered mysteriously: "In addition to this aluminum-tungsten alloy, there is a new research that you need to bring back to the elder to see." ”

Seeing the expression on Porto's face, Ankato suddenly understood, and did not speak, but just asked with his eyes.

Porto looked left and right again, then beckoned to Ancato and motioned for him to follow him into one of the inner rooms of the research room housed in the non-ferrous metal smelting plant.

"Here, how about this thing?" Porto closed the door after entering the inner room, then pulled out a swarthy piece of metal and handed it to Ankato.

Ankato stretched out his hand to take it, and immediately felt a sinking in his hand, and hurriedly held it with both hands to stabilize it.

"So heavy...... So dense?" Antoka looked at the black, dull piece of metal in his hand, and couldn't tell what it was made of. "What alloy is this?"

"Most of it is lead, a small part is tungsten, and there is also iron and a small amount of zinc. Porto replied. "It's very dense, but it's very hard, it's very strong, and it's tough. Isn't the Chamber of Commerce planning to upgrade the specifications of magic machines and agricultural and engineering magic machines, and the elders and Camby have been worrying about not being able to find materials that can withstand enough pressure, and I think this is a good fit. ”

"That's not a particularly important issue, the elder said that as long as we improve the purity of the steel when we smelt it, we will definitely be able to meet the requirements. But if this thing is better, of course it is better. Ankato weighed the piece of metal in his hand, thought for a moment and asked, "The key question is, how much does this thing cost?"

"Cost?" Porto was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly. "It's hard to say. Anyway, this thing needs a lot of materials in this vein. I think since there are so many here, it shouldn't be bad anywhere else. ”

"That's hard to say. Ankato shook his head and sighed: "No wonder the elder has always attached great importance to mineral resources, if only this non-ferrous metal vein belonged to our Chamber of Commerce." ”

"I don't think it's that difficult. With us dwarves here, are you afraid that you won't be able to find mines?" said Porto.

"What if you can find it, can you still go to the Candela Empire or the Maro Empire to mine?" Ankato glanced at Porto.

Porto was speechless.

The two discussed the recent research results of this laboratory, and after Ancato proposed some recent research and development trends of the Chamber of Commerce to Porto, he left the laboratory and went to the factory, found the person in charge of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce who stayed here, and proposed to him the orders for various non-ferrous metals brought by him.

This is the reason why Ankato just sighed.

Although the non-ferrous metal smelter is a joint venture between the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also has a partial stake. But because it is not wholly owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, even if it is a variety of non-ferrous metal materials smelted by this non-ferrous metal vein itself. If the new flying chamber of commerce needs, it still needs to purchase according to the normal way.

Because of this procedure, the new flying chamber will be subject to a lot of restrictions.

For example, the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center and the Magic Research Institute have actually been hoping to get some pure copper for realization, but because copper can be used to make copper coins, copper is subject to special control in the Lampari Kingdom, and the Falcao Chamber of Commerce will not consider selling it to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at all.

In addition to copper, the production targets of non-ferrous metal smelters cannot be set exactly according to the needs of the new flying chamber of commerce.

Take the Household Magic Machinery Department of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which Ankato is in charge of, for example, because the latest version of various household magic machines needs to be upgraded in terms of materials to be upgraded. The demand for aluminium and zinc is extremely high.

However, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce insisted on prioritizing pure copper smelting, and the output of aluminum and zinc has not been high.

The non-ferrous metal mine and smelter near the Worrall werewolf tribe can be produced entirely according to the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, that is, the main non-ferrous metals in that vein are aluminum ore and lead ore, but zinc ore has not been found at all, so if you want zinc, you can only get it from here.

So even Ankato, who has not paid much attention to this kind of thing, can't help but hope that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can control a few more non-ferrous metal veins by himself, so as not to be restricted by others.

It's just that the situation in the Lampari Kingdom is more complicated, and it is not easy for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to participate here, and it is not easy to obtain one or even several more veins. That is impossible, at least in the short term.

Ankato and the head of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce struggled for a long time before they won the demand that he would urge the mine to mine more zinc ore.

As for the actual effect. Then only God knows......

A day later, Ancato watched President Pombery lead a convoy of Filson's freight magic locomotives, loaded with up to seventeen tons of various non-ferrous metals, onto the road to Bonta City, and then turned around and came to the Fit Chamber of Commerce.

"General Manager of the Household Magic Machinery Department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

President Cherno of the Fit Chamber of Commerce glanced at the name note handed over by Ankato, and then looked at Ankato, who had a young face and would not be more than thirty years old no matter how he looked at it, and thought to himself that if it weren't for the testimony of Sakchi, an old acquaintance, he would not believe that such a young man was actually the head of a department of such a large chamber of commerce as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"That...... General Manager Ankato, may I ask what is the matter with you coming to our Fit Chamber of Commerce?" President Cherno looked at Ankato with a wary expression.

As a representative of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this person always felt bad luck when he came to his little magic mechanical Chamber of Commerce that produced magic fans and magic hot water bottles.

Ankato smiled slightly: "President Chernov, I remember that your Fit Chamber of Commerce purchased the production technology of the magic fan and the magic kettle from our Chamber of Commerce in March and June last year, respectively, and spent 63,000 gold coins and 72,000 gold coins respectively for this purpose, right?"

President Cherno's eyes narrowed, and the look in Ankato's eyes intensified with vigilance.

This guy obviously prepared in advance, so it must be a bad person.

"That's right, General Manager Ankato, what are you trying to do when you mention this?" President Cherno asked coldly.

Ankato kept his smile unchanged, paused, and continued: "President Chernov, when I visited your factory just now, I found that the production line of your Chamber of Commerce's magic fan and magic kettle is not perfect, and there are several models missing, since President Cherno, you are willing to spend so much money to buy the related technology of magic fan and magic kettle, so are you willing to spend another amount of money to improve the entire production line and related technology?"

President Cherno was stunned.

Listening to the meaning of Ankato's words, could it be that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce intends to fully open up all the production technologies of magic fans and magic kettles to them?

Thinking of this possibility, President Cherno's heart couldn't stop beating violently. (To be continued......)
