In the smelting workshop of the Viscount's Mansion, Ades and Molly are inspecting here, a few nights ago Ades inspected the inside of his body, and found that the divinity is still blending with the bloodline, and the speed of this fusion is not low, which shows that the bloodline in his body has not been transformed, and the time to recalibrate the compound magic will be delayed, after all, if the bloodline transformation is not stable, the runes formed by some similar spells and supernatural energy will still change, which will make the construction of the magic array unstable. top-point novels,

Anna and Evis are adjusting their state and are ready to advance at any time, Yunni, a housemaiden, has been staying in the real room for several days, and she has not come out of the previous combat training, because the recipe of wild wine still needs to be fine-tuned, only he has nothing to do, so he was caught by Molly and accompanied her to inspect.

The feedback in the past few days has been quite bad, the route has been interrupted, and there is a problem in the mine of a baron in the past few days, and the situation in the mine of Barony Borden last time is the same, miners are beginning to disappear, and this kind of thing has happened continuously, the iron ore resources of a barony have disappeared from the market, and the share is naturally occupied by the rest of the merchants, and the price has also increased.

Molly was also unrelenting, taking advantage of this opportunity, the market share of the iron ore in the viscount was increased a little, the iron ore in the viscount was easy to mine, the cost was low, and the shipment volume had always occupied a high share of the market before, but after the last illegitimate child incident, those fiefdom nobles took advantage of the fact that the bastard did not have any foundation, and did not even know the number of the viscounty's industry, so they joined forces to suppress the market share of the iron ore in the viscount, and robbed many merchants at a low price to buy their minerals.

After Anna and Molly returned to power. There is no downward adjustment in the price of iron ore, and sometimes even when I see high-quality bonanza appearing in the market. She also eats it because of the manufacturing process of the crucible steel provided by Adès.

Lignite plus some local red soil. After a certain ratio of mixing, drying is the best fuel, the ultra-high temperature makes it possible to smelt the ore, after more than a year of exploration, the recipe of the crucible steel has been mastered by the blacksmith of the viscountdom, how much raw ore is added each time, and what catalyst and reducing agent are added, are all recorded, after ten furnaces of steel have been successful. The steward of the workshop reported to Molly, it is likely that after this time, the viscount will no longer sell the raw ore, and smelt the ore into steel ingots and sell it, which is not only more expensive, but also easier to transport, at least the saved fleet volume can transport some other goods.

Watch as the craftsman puts the ore into the crucible and adds something. Anything that was burned on the stove, the steward pointed to the steel ingot on the table next to him, and said to Molly: "Miss, you see that this steel ingot was refined the day before yesterday. In addition, there is another one that we put in the crucible to cool naturally, and we didn't take it out, so Miss can compare it later. The quality of these ingots is very stable. ”

Adès walked over and took a closer look, taking the opportunity to touch the ingot with his hand. The mind was also probed to explore the steel ingot, which was indeed smelted at one time. And smelting in the coal gangue crucible, the carbon content is also appropriate, as long as the steel ingot is slightly tempered, the forged will be a good weapon, and the price difference between the ore and the best weapon, I believe everyone can know the profit inside.

This is still Ades did not use manganese ore, if it is used, it will be a proper Damascus steel, weapons made of high manganese steel, Ades thinks it is beautiful, such and alloy weapons, at least several times higher than the price of ordinary steel weapons, and being an arms dealer has always made more money than being a resource dealer.

Under Molly's gaze, the steward asked the workers to bring in a crucible, knock the crucible directly, take out the steel inside, and put it on the table for Molly to observe by herself.

Now there are only three specifications of crucible steel in the factory, one pound, two pounds and five pounds, generally, the factory will only sell one pound and two pounds, five pounds of this large steel ingot, will only be kept for the viscount to use himself, the first is because the larger the ingot, the lower the success rate of smelting, not that it cannot be smelted, but the quality after smelting is difficult to control, and the cost involved in this is relatively high. The second is because large steel ingots have a natural advantage in one-time forging weapon armor, large steel ingots forging weapon armor will be relatively easy, and the quality is relatively easy to grasp, in the trading market, such steel ingots have always been sought-after goods, originally the viscount can smelt steel at one time is already a big thing, need to go through technical secrecy, if people know that they can also smelt large steel ingots at one time, then maybe some forces will intervene.

Before the viscounty's own military strength reaches the point where it can resist the prying eyes of the outside world, it is better to sell less such things, even if it is to be sold in the future, Ades will also build yì into weapons and armor and then sell them, so that not only will the profit be higher, but it will not be easy for others to find out how advanced the smelting technology of the viscounty is.

The craftsman picks up this one-pound steel ingot, puts it in the furnace to heat, and then beats the deformation, and after several rounds of processing, the steel ingot is forged into a short sword, and then after quenching, a semi-finished product comes out, and the craftsman hands the short sword to the grinding worker, and after simple grinding and adding the hilt, the short sword is considered complete.

The steward presented the dagger to Molly, and then turned around and took them to the side where they tried the sword, where there were all kinds of armor, leather, steel, and even some alloy armor, some of which were forged by craftsmen, some of which were bought in the market, and a small number of which were obtained from some master blacksmiths, and the steward asked Molly, "Does the young lady try the sword herself or do you appoint someone at random?"

Molly looked back at Ades and asked, "Ade, are you interested in trying?"

Ades shook his head and said: "There's no need, it's not suitable for me to test the sword, I will use some skills unnaturally when I pick up the weapon, which will affect the effect of the sword test, you can appoint a random person, but I think this short sword is very good now, from the polished luster, it is almost the same as the weapons made by some blacksmith masters, and the quality of this steel is very good." ”

Molly didn't force him, looked at the weapons and armor pieces on the table, picked the same short sword, which was an ordinary short sword bought from the dwarven giant hammer, and gestured to the steward, and the steward found two people, chose a safe position, with the same sword moves, with the same strength, the two swords intersected and collided together.

There is no such nonsense as the imaginary cutting off the short sword of the dwarven giant hammer directly, both swords are damaged, there are gaps in the collision position, and the dwarven sword even collapses a small piece, this is because his short sword is harder than the one forged by Molly's workshop, of course, it will be a little brittle, and the one in the viscount workshop is relatively not so hard, but it is a little tougher, as for that kind of weapon is better, then it depends on the opinion, some people like a little harder, some like a little tougher.

Seeing this situation, Adès touched his chin and said to Molly: "This kind of steel, it is best to make armor and heavy weapons, your own mace is good to use this kind of steel, it is more tough, so it is relatively simple to maintain after the battle, if it is knocked down, then the repair technique will draw steel from the rest of the weapon to make up for the broken piece, over time, the weapon will become light and thin, and there will be defects in the structure, maybe it will be cut off directly in a battle." ”

Since Molly took the initiative to provoke Ades, her whole person has completely changed, and she listens to Ades for everything, so she immediately relayed these words to the steward, and asked the steward to forge a small batch of weapons in advance and send them to her peers to see how the market reacts.

Ades thought for a moment and stopped Molly's thoughts, he said: "What if our weapons are of good quality and our peers are full? ”

The high-end wild wine was successfully brewed, and the crucible steel weapons and armor were also successfully developed, so that the pillar industry of the territory changed from the previous agricultural products to commercial products, and the profits obtained were much higher than before, and the agricultural products in the harvest season could easily cause the nearby nobles to compete for price reductions, and there was a great chance of vicious competition.

If Molly is also a fiefdom nobleman, then it would be easier to do, everyone forms a price alliance and monopolizes together to solve this problem, but the actual situation is the opposite, the fiefdom aristocracy and the viscount's mansion are invisible and hostile, and this price alliance cannot be established, so that the problem of vicious competition becomes a dead knot, and the fiefdom aristocracy and the theocratic nobility are dead knots with each other.

After inspecting the smelter, Molly listened to the report of the steward of the mine, and at the same time she also instructed the steward to try to understand the output of the nearby mine as carefully as possible, so that she could judge which mine had a problem, and specially instructed the steward to understand the baron's mine, and it is best to get a description of the miners on the spot, what went wrong in the mine.

Molly is now afraid that there are demons in the mines of the entire viscountdom, which will easily lead to the appearance of demons, a large number of demons appear in the territory, and the temple will not be able to protect her, in case the royal family thinks that she is not managing the territory well, and will punish her, although her territory will not be confiscated, but then she will be asked to send troops or garrison a certain defensive location, it will not be fun.

This is a disguised weakening of the lord's military power, and when the time comes, it is not impossible for those fiefdom nobles to join forces and sneak into the pit Viscount's Mansion, so in this regard, Ades said to Molly early on to make her pay attention to it. (To be continued......)
