Chapter 375: The Output of the Magic Laboratory
Early in the morning, on the volcanic island, inside the garden villa in the middle of the mountain.
"Ade, there's information from Molly's side, the royal family has successfully recaptured the royal capital, and now they are preparing for a counterattack. ”
Winnie eats a bacon sandwich as she reports to Adès about the latest news from Molly.
"Oh, then the chances of the royal family coming to the southern forest are greatly reduced?" said Ades, swallowing the food in his mouth and thinking for a moment.
"According to common sense, this is true, but it is also possible that the royal family will send a relatively good descendant to the southern region, or to a relatively safe place in the country. Winnie drank her water and gave her opinion.
Ades smiled and said contemptuously: "As long as the royal family doesn't come with a group of mages, there is nothing to be afraid of ordinary royal family members coming over." ”
Yunni shook her head and said: "Not necessarily, it was not easy to remove the nail of Ambo, if the royal family sends another member of the royal family over, then we have to guard against him hindering us, and if he finds out that the profits of sea transportation are so large, and reports to the royal family, then we have a strong competitor." ”
Ades nodded, this is also, others who want to engage in shipping may be discouraged by the large cost of building a fleet, although the royal family does not have much money in their hands, it is not a problem to squeeze in and build one or two large fleets.
Moreover, with the guarantee of taxation and royal credibility, the establishment of trade routes will be relatively simple, and if they are allowed to squeeze into this industry, it will indeed cause problems for the Ades.
However, this is all a no-brainer, and Winnie and Adès are just chatting during breakfast. When the time comes, the royal family will really build a fleet, and there will be more ways to hinder their development. For example, you can directly pretend to be a pirate and attack the royal fleet.
This is nothing more than a daily routine for people who do sea freight. Adès's own fleet did just that, one moment it was a normal caravan, and the next moment if it met a fat sheep from another country, it would also go up and plunder.
"Ward is working on the recipe for making zuò pearl steel, and although the approximate composition ratio is disclosed, it needs to be studied in detail if we want to successfully make this lightweight steel. As she spoke, Yunni turned the conversation to the daily study of the real yàn room.
A few days ago, Adès took out the loot he had obtained in the port of Ambo, and most of the precious metals and magical materials were handed over to the real yàn room, and the pearls that could be used to make pearl steel aroused Ward's interest.
Making such steel on the seabed is simple. But how to make zuò on land, everyone doesn't know what to do, Ward checked the information of the academy overnight, but no one has studied this material, as a technical nerd, Ward really wants to find a way to make pearl steel on land this time.
"Then let him study it slowly, anyway, he got more pearls this time, if he researches the recipe and manufacturing process, then we can go to the fishman's village to collect this pearl." In the future, there will be one more specialty of the volcanic island.
Yun Ni shook her head and said with a smile: "He has been soaking in the real room for two days, and my assistant said that the recipe has been roughly determined, but the manufacturing process is not yet mature." ”
"Oh, what's the other way around? Isn't there supposed to be a manufacturing process first. How can we know if the formula is correct without producing steel?"
"With magic, you can simulate the pressure and temperature of the seabed. In this way, it is possible to make a small amount of pearl steel, but a large amount of pearl steel. The environment can't be simulated with magic, which is too energy-intensive. And there is no such technology either.
Because it is easy to make a small magic array, but to make a large magic array that increases pressure and reduces temperature, we don't have such conditions at all, and we don't even have the blueprints of the magic array, it's not just a matter of expanding the small magic array. ”
Yunni explained the reason to Ades a little, which is actually the difference between land and seabed, in the seabed, there is seawater to cool the steel at any time, and the water pressure is also very large, when making zuò pearl steel, you can use water pressure to treat the internal structure of the steel.
As soon as Ades heard Yunni say this, he understood, no wonder that pearl steel, a light material, has never been produced only by the Sea Clan, and no one on the mainland can make zuò.
"You have time to go to the real yàn room, this month we are going to try to produce magic metal, these have ready-made recipes and making processes, it is not difficult for the real yàn room to make zuò.
After the magic metal zuò comes out, it will be made into various equipment, the most profitable of which is the armor, the knights of the major temples are in great demand for such magic metal armor, and some rich nobles also prefer to use this luxury, so we have to discuss what magic effect to enchant. ”
Adès nodded, making such a magical metal armor is the most profitable, a good set of magic armor can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins in the market, and the specific price depends on what the effect of the enchantment is, so Yunni will ask him to discuss.
"Are the materials enough?" Ades listened to Yunny's words, and couldn't help but ask if there were enough raw materials to make magic metal.
"We can only make relatively low-grade magic metals now, and the materials we need are not very rare, we have our own materials, nothing more than pure gold and mythril, and because we are now running out of fire element energy, Ward and I decided to make magic metal with copper smelting as the main material first. ”
"But wouldn't the magic metal made in this way be too heavy?" Adès suddenly remembered an important question, that is, weight, you must know that copper is much heavier than steel.
"Make some heavy weapons first, such as an armor-piercing hammer that can stimulate the energy of the fire element. Winnie glanced at Ades, and continued: "It doesn't have to be made into armor, now we are in the trial production stage, first understand the process and recipe, and let those magicians and apprentices be proficient." ”
Ades smiled, he was a little anxious, but when he thought about it, it was obviously Yunni who said that he wanted to make zuò magic armor just now, why did it suddenly become a weapon?
Yunni also seemed to have discovered this problem, and she said with some embarrassment: "As for the magic armor, we want to use the most ordinary magic metal, and then use the inlay process to inlay some mythril or copper smelting wire on the surface of the armor, and the inlaid magic array can stimulate the magic effect, so it is also a magic armor." ”
Ades thought for a moment and said, "Then we can only make the lowest level of armor?"
"Do you think that as long as high-quality magic armor is easy, and even this kind of low-level armor can be sold for more than 10,000 gold coins on the market, and the demand for this kind of armor is much more than that of high-grade magic armor, and the knights will be equipped with high-grade magic armor for the whole group?"
Ades thought about it, this is also, money is not spent like this.
While Winnie and Ades were chatting over breakfast, Mia hurriedly ran in, holding a piece of parchment in her hand, and said to Ades as soon as they met, "Master, Molly has the latest news over there. (To be continued......)
