Chapter 385: Mithril Reactor
Deep in a col in the Northern Mountains.
When the soldiers removed the debris and placed it in front of everyone one by one, Adès and the mages had already guessed what the debris was.
"These copper smelters are supposed to be a pedestal, but why should they be designed to be hollow? If they were solid, this explosion might not blow it up. Nancy said, pointing to the smelted copper that had been smashed.
Yunni circled around the palm-thick, three-foot square, more than a foot high Mithril coiled several times, so many Mithril disc-shaped objects, not to mention seeing it, I didn't even hear it, you must know that the weight of Mithril is calculated by one ounce, this Mithril plate, at least a few hundred pounds.
"This should be a reaction vessel, and have you found it, its outer surface is secretly engraved with a protective magic array, and it has not been deformed under such an explosion, it should be a very precious thing. "Ward had been in contact with magic furnaces on Caldera Island, so when he saw the magic patterns inside the Mithril plate, he immediately recognized that most of the patterns were similar to magic furnaces.
"Ade, you come here and take a look, there are some patterns on the bottom of the Mithril plate. Winnie circled the side Mithril plate several times, revealing some patterns carved into hidden places.
Ades and Nancy walked over, squatted down and looked at it in detail for a long time, and finally Nancy raised her head and said to everyone: "This is actually a magic furnace, and it is something from the time of the reign of the goblins, which is very rare. ”
Ades pointed to some of the drawings and said, "The origin of the iron ingots here can be found in these pictures, and this furnace can be used to extract pure iron ingots and sulfur from chalcopyrite." ”
Everyone gathered around to take a look, and Adès pointed to a few pictures. Draw in detail how to crush pyrite into powder and put it in the reaction dish for how long to stir. How long to sit, and then you can separate out the impurity layer, sulfur powder layer, iron powder layer. Then the pure iron powder is heated at a high temperature, and after melting, it is an iron ingot.
"It's so easy to refine pyrite?" Ward was a little incredulous.
You must know that when smelting iron and steel on the mainland, some magnetite and hematite are selected, which contain less sulfur, and the refined iron is easy to forge into fine steel.
But pyrite is different, it itself contains a lot of sulfur, and the extracted iron is easy to become brittle when heated to high temperature when forging, and it is very easy to fracture and bubble, so basically pyrite will not be used as a raw material for smelting steel.
But now this reactor of the goblin extracts pure iron from pyrite in an incomprehensible way. Not only did Ward not believe it, but even Nancy was a little unconvinced.
"Could it be that the magic of the ancient goblins has reached such a high level? Nancy stood up and muttered to herself.
"Not necessarily, if it is a small amount of preparation, we can do it, but we don't have this need, otherwise we will definitely be able to develop a large furnace to refine pyrite. "Adès thinks it's nothing, if you really want to refine pyrite, regardless of the cost. A limited invocation can definitely separate pure iron from pyrite.
It's just a question of whether there is a need for this and whether the cost is high.
"I'll lend this thing to study for a while, and I'm going to see what the goblins are doing. Nancy, the alchemist, suddenly became interested. She had no resistance to a magical pattern she had never seen before.
"Nancy, why don't you come to our real room for a while? You can study for as long as you want, and the energy there is very abundant, which can fully meet your requirements.
Adès had long wanted to abduct Nancy to the volcanic island. It's hard to hire someone who is about to become a high-level alchemist, especially if you can trust it.
Nancy glanced at Adès. The corners of his mouth curled, and he said with a somewhat teasing smile: "You are not afraid that I will run away with such a large piece of Mithril, right?"
"How is this possible. The magical knowledge inside this Mithril Plate is far more precious than itself. Adès immediately denied the claim.
"And how much are you going to pay me to go to the volcanic island?" Nancy smiled, and began to talk about the conditions in a serious manner.
"The magic items you make zuò, in addition to the cost price of the raw materials, we divide the profits fifty-fifty, and the energy is free to use. Seeing that Nancy seemed to be a little tempted, Ades immediately fired the price.
"Four-six, you four and I six, and then I can arbitrarily allocate one-tenth of the energy in the energy pool for my daily research. Nancy counteroffered, and Adès immediately smiled.
"Okay, it's a deal!" Anyway, on the volcanic island, the energy is almost endless, and there is no fear of Nancy consumption.
"However, you can't study some super destructive magic in the research room, it's just a simple magic tower structure, not a complete magic tower, and the protection ability is very poor, if you study powerful magic, in case of an accident, this research room and magic furnace will be finished immediately." After Ades agreed to Nancy's terms, he immediately added another one.
You can't let Nancy study the magic she wants to study at will, you must know that the destructive power of some high-level magic is very amazing, especially after failure.
"Yes, I'm just an academic mage, not a battle mage, and I rarely study those violent magics, so you don't need to worry. ”
Adès smiled wryly, but in his heart he didn't believe it, mages are all saboteurs, and when they are interested in a spell, it doesn't matter if it's violent or not.
"Pack up all the things here and transport them to the volcanic island, when we open up this mountain road, I will go over immediately, especially this reaction vessel, which is the core of the goblin magic furnace, don't break it when transporting, and such a large piece of Mithril, don't leak the news, there will be a lot of crazy adventurers to snatch it." ”
Nancy pointed to the pit and said to Evis, reminding her to be careful when transporting, because the people here are all in Evis's tube, so it is right to look for her.
"Don't worry, I've been in the Black Iron Port for so long, I still understand how precious this thing that can extract pure iron from pyrite is, and I will definitely not go on a business trip." "Yvice knows the value of this dish, knowing that pyrite can be sold at a much lower price than hematite and magnetite.
If Nancy researched something and could prepare pure iron powder in large quantities, then she could openly buy pyrite and come back to refine pure iron, not to mention that the pyrite excavated by this goblin in front of her could be used immediately, and the raw materials were endless.
