Chapter 31: Forging is not as good as wine

Just as their thoughts were different, the four pieces of molten metal in the furnace finally became one. The Gru patriarch clamped the edge of the cauldron with his long-handled iron tongs, and with a sudden force of his arm, he easily removed it.

The orange-red flames scorched on the rocky earthy skin of the Gru patriarch, creating a highly textured picture of fortitude.

After about half an hour of cooling, the molten metal was skillfully poured into four molds, and a large metal ingot that looked like a blue-gold color was smelted.

Unsure of the properties of this new alloy, the Gru patriarch bowed his head and muttered for a moment, before preparing to forge it himself.

The drawings he took out were still the blueprints of the breastplate, which meant that he had to perform the Wave Hammer method again.

The ability to try this extremely laborious forging technique shows how optimistic the Patriarch of Gru is about this new alloy.

In the same process as before, the ingots are put into the forging furnace and burned until the whole body is red, then it is removed with a tool and placed on the forging table, and then the next step is to carry out the meticulous and rapid forging.

However, as soon as the huge forging hammer fell, the movement of the Gru patriarch's hand froze.

This Grandmaster-level figure with a lot of experience in forging could tell from the strength of the feedback on the hammer handle that this new alloy seemed to have become much softer after calcination compared to the pure Red Fire Gold Essence.

You must know that the fusion of the Red Fire Gold Essence with those three metals is to improve the strength of this rare metal, and judging from the experience obtained from countless forgings, the hardness of this new alloy seems to be inferior to the original Red Fire Gold Essence.

The expectation in Patriarch Gru's eyes was somewhat less, but he couldn't judge from experience alone until the final result was out.

So just after hesitating, Patriarch Gru held his breath and quickly entered the best state of forging.

The forging hammer, which weighed dozens of pounds, was pounded again and again on the fiery red metal block like rain, and this new alloy, which had been calcined to a soft point, began to rapidly extend and deform, and soon took on the appearance of a cuirass.

Perhaps because this new alloy was softer after calcination, it was only calcined twice this time, and the forging of the cuirass was completely completed.

After burning the cuirass blank again until the whole body is fiery red, it is put into the cooling pool for quenching, and a cuirass that looks thicker than the dark gold red fire gold essence armor before is completely completed.

The Patriarch took it in his hand and examined it carefully, and after confirming that there were no flaws, he handed it over to Xiao Longchen.

Xiao Longchen took the blue-gold alloy cuirass, took a deep breath and laid it flat on the ground, and then easily entered the battle mecha and activated the miniature quantum cannon again.

Target Lock ......

"Attack order confirmed!"

As a beam of energy of the same intensity as before slammed into this new type of armor, the smoke and dust that was the same as before rose again, and after the dust settled, everyone present turned their expectant eyes on the new cuirass in the pit.

The next moment, whether it was Xiao Longchen or those goblins who were not very optimistic about this new alloy, the expressions on their faces all turned into consternation.

Because the results of this experiment were completely beyond everyone's expectations.

I saw that there was no depression on the blue-gold armor in the pit as before, and even after withstanding the powerful blow of the miniature quantum cannon, this new type of armor did not even appear a single white mark, it still looked natural, and still exuded a calm aura like a mountain.

Thousands of arguments are not as convincing as the facts in front of us. This time, the goblin masters didn't talk about it anymore, and even the Gru patriarch looked incredulous.

He walked quickly to the dirt pit, jumped in and took out the piece of blue-gold armor, and a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon carefully scanned it, and finally the seriousness on his face completely dissipated, replaced by a look of ecstasy.

"Good, good...... This new alloy not only completely retains the flexibility of the red fire gold essence, but also increases the hardness by at least 50%. It seems that Xiaoyou Longchen is not exaggerating, you have really opened the old man's eyes again!" Patriarch Gru smiled very heartily, and the slight anger that had arisen before because of Xiao Longchen's contempt for their goblin clan was completely dissipated without a trace in front of this near-perfect metal.

After hearing the final conclusion of the Gru Patriarch, even the forging masters of the Goblin Clan were not calm, they all gathered around, snatched the blue-gold armor from the Gru Patriarch's hand, and studied it knock and knock.

Their behavior is not because they have any objection to the conclusion given by their family patriarch, but because they can't wait to see the properties of this new alloy.

For the goblins, who have been keen on forging for generations, things like faces can't compare to their beliefs.

When these goblin masters personally confirmed that the blue-gold armor was not damaged in the slightest, all of them showed embarrassment on their faces.

However, these goblins are very simple, and now that the facts have proved the ability of this human boy, they have very calmly admitted their mistakes and apologized for their previous rudeness.

"Little Brother Longchen, we were so offended before, please don't take it to heart!"

"Yes, little brother Longchen, we are too lonely and unheard, please do a lot of Haihan if we offend, we will definitely not despise you again in the future!"

"Please forgive Brother Longchen......"

Xiao Longchen was in a large apology, and the expression on his face looked a little unnatural.

On the one hand, he felt a little ashamed that he was able to win with the help of Xiaoxing's cheat, and on the other hand, he felt strange that these goblins who didn't know how old he was called "Little Brother Longchen".

However, everyone apologized so sincerely, and Xiao Longchen was not good at offending people too much, so he also politely confessed to those goblins, saying that he didn't know the severity of what he said before, so let them not take it to heart.

The original tense situation, in front of Xiao Longchen's ability and humility, immediately turned into an incomparably harmonious picture.

Xiao Longchen was happy that the battle mech had a stronger shell, and the goblins were excited that they had left a smelting formula of a precious alloy for future generations.

It can be said that this win-win situation is what everyone wants to see. As for the loss of face of those goblins, in the face of such a happy event, it is simply insignificant.

After all this tossing, it was already evening. Patriarch Gru laughed and dismissed everyone, while he asked Xiao Longchen to go with him to have a cup of Hundred Fruit Wine to celebrate.

In the eyes of the Gru Patriarch, although the young man in front of him was very young, the knowledge in his head could always bring surprises to their goblin clan.

From Xiao Longchen, he saw the opportunity for the rise of the goblin clan, so he naturally treated him wholeheartedly as a guest.

A small glass of Baiguo wine enters the mouth, and all kinds of wonderful flavors explode in the mouth, frantically impacting Xiao Longchen's taste buds.

He closed his eyes with great pleasure, and did not swallow this miraculous liquor immediately, until the whole person was completely intoxicated, and then reluctantly swallowed it into his stomach.

"Patriarch Gru, I have something to say, boy, I hope you don't mind, huh?" Xiao Longchen's eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and he looked at the Patriarch Gru sitting opposite him with a look of enjoyment and said.

Because the patriarch of Gru had long been accustomed to the deliciousness of this kind of wine, he didn't enjoy it as much as Xiao Longchen, and he was a little surprised when he heard his words, so he happily responded: "What does Longchen Xiaoyou have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, my old guy still has some stomach!"

"Although the forging technique of your goblin clan is powerful, in my opinion, the more powerful achievement is the incomparably delicious cup of things, which I really can't put down!" Xiao Longchen said, then poured himself another cup, and then tilted his neck and poured it, without looking at the expression of the Gru patriarch at all.
