"Magicians aren't worth mentioning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" The short young man was none other than Parin, who had extraordinary hearing, even if he whispered in a low voice, and turned his head with a smile and said, "Being a scholar is something I'm proud of, but even if it's 'great' or something, I'm not qualified enough." ”

Raif was taken aback, surprised both by Palin's identity and by his astonishing hearing, and hurriedly saluted, not knowing how to greet him.

"Don't be inhibited. Parin smiled and said, "You're here to visit, aren't you? I have something to talk about with Uncle Wrought Iron. ”

After speaking, he took the wrought iron to the study next to him and talked in detail.

This time, Parin came to visit for two things.

The first is to invite wrought iron to the Void Mask Playground to observe the retirement ceremony.

Parin's uncle, Old Soth, had died a few years ago, and the only surviving of his fellow adventurers and business companions were currently two long-lived species, Wrought Iron and Rhyme. The former are dwarves with an average lifespan of about 150 years, while the latter are wild elves with an average lifespan of about 180 years.

Now wrought iron is almost seventy years old, which is equivalent to the early thirties of human beings, and it is in the prime of life. After attending an old friend's funeral, he came to Gold Rush and worked as a blacksmith.

And the race of the rhyme rate is more strange, aging is similar to that of human beings, but the time of old age and immortality is quite amazing, he is in his sixties and has gray hair, and he has basically lost the ability to work. Currently lives in the Void Mask Playground and works as a librarian in Parin's library.

When Parin was an accountant in Uncle South's caravan, he had a good relationship with Uncle Wrought Iron, so this time, he personally came to invite him, not only to respect his elders, but also to help Uncle Wrought Iron support the scene in Gold Rush Town.

In his current status. The invitation in person is enough to dispel many people's greed for Uncle Wrought's blacksmith shop and avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The second is to learn more about the principle of the "magic furnace" and inquire about the skill of smelting ore in the dwarven forging technique.

During this time, Sui Xiong's blast furnace experiments did not go well. I don't know how many times I have failed. He pondered it carefully and felt that he might have a lack of theory, so he planned to make up for the basic skills first.

The easiest way to make up for the basics is to ask Molani for advice. But Sui Xiong felt that this was his own private matter after all, and it was not worth bothering others for this, so after thinking about it, he found Parin.

Parin has been in the library almost all these years, and it is difficult to get out of the door a few times a year, which can be called a deep otaku. Sui Xiong felt that he had studied hard for so many years. Must have accumulated a lot of knowledge, and otaku seem to be very technically gifted - he had a college classmate back then, who was mediocre in games, but had a good level of technology, and made a keyboard with a lot of function keys, sweeping the invincible opponents in the department - maybe Parin is also such a person?

It turns out that although Parin is also an otaku, he is not a tech nerd. He knew very little about metal smelting technology. It's almost a matter of knowing what ores can be extracted, and being able to recognize some common or precious ores.

But Palin's brain is much more flexible than Sui Xiong's. Knowing that Sui Xiong's experiments had been unsuccessful, he suggested that Sui Xiong might as well make copies of several common refining furnaces and study them slowly.

Sui Xiong thought about it and complied.

However, after a period of research, he still had no clue.

He was able to replicate those furnaces exactly at all, and he was able to scale them to an astonishing scale. But that doesn't solve the problems inherent in those furnaces. Either the cost is too high, or the efficiency is too low, and both lack promotion value.

The crux of the matter was that he didn't really understand how these furnaces were designed.

Sui Xiong is indeed powerful, just take a look. You can replicate even the most complex magic furnaces in their entirety. But that doesn't mean he really understands the design principles of this kind of furnace - it's like playing with that kind of scientific model, a person with strong hands-on ability, can use all kinds of parts to assemble all kinds of interesting models, some can fly in the sky, some can swim in the water, but he may not actually understand aerodynamics, and may not even understand the laws of buoyancy.

Sui Xiong is like that.

When he realized his shortcomings, he fell into distress.

This world does not have the perfect education and scientific research system on the earth, and the craftsmen only pass on experience from generation to generation, and there are not many things that really study in depth to form theories. Even if he wanted to learn, he couldn't learn for a while.

The mages did have a lot of research, but unless he consulted with the master of mysteries or the god of spellcasters, there was no way to find the theory he wanted like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In this case, Parin Mao recommended himself, saying that he had been under the care of His Majesty for many years, and had been studying silently, and that it was time to try to apply what he had learned.

He first came to Sui Xiong's experimental site, observed several failed experiments, and then thought about and studied it, and then set out to find Uncle Wrought Iron, who was good at forging, saying that he wanted to learn from the dwarven forging technique.

Knowing his intention, Wrought Iron couldn't help laughing: "Little Parin, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed!"

"Oh?" Palin was stunned, "Why?"

"Our dwarves' forging skills are certainly good, but they are nothing compared to the infinite power of the gods. Wrought Iron said, "What even His Majesty Void Kamen can't do, we dwarves definitely can't do with our dwarven forging skills." ”

"Not necessarily. "My lord is mighty, but what he has to do is to develop a craft that is suitable for mortals, and this is not something that can be done by the power of the gods." Perhaps inspired by the dwarven blacksmithing techniques, he was able to succeed. ”

Since this is the case, wrought iron naturally no longer doubts, and carefully described his skills.

Parin was not interested in the subtle techniques that the average blacksmith was particularly interested in, and he was more interested in the large framework of dwarven blacksmithing. It took him more than half a day to listen to the entire set of dwarven forging techniques, and then asked some of the contents of the smelting part again, confident that he had basically mastered it, so he inquired about the use of the magic refining furnace.

The magic furnace is of course not a dwarf technology, it is a technology left over from the era of the elven kingdom, using a complex magic array, you can extract the magic crystal energy as fuel, burn the ore until it melts, and then use the power of magic to separate the melted metal and slag, pour it out in two parts, and form metal ingots and waste slag.

This thing is very expensive, and one unit costs nearly 10,000 gold coins. The cost of using it is also very high, and every time it is activated, it consumes thousands of gold crystals. So later, the human spellcasters followed up on it and improved it, and launched a low-profile version - the one that wrought iron now uses.

This magic furnace of wrought iron costs 4,000 gold coins, and it needs to be filled with a large amount of mana every time it is used. But fortunately, it doesn't need to be filled with mana all at once, you can fill it slowly in several times, and then start it when the mana is filled enough. The wrought iron itself also has a little bit of magic, and although the magic is not strong enough, if you fill it up slowly, you can activate it almost once a month.

To be honest, using it once a month, this thing is a little bit pitted. Wrought Iron has long felt that he was probably a businessman in the first place, and bought something that was not suitable for him. But I bought it and bought it, and I installed it, and it would be a real waste to say that it was just put on the shelf. So he fills the furnace with mana every day, and promises to open it once a month, never letting this thing sit idle.

In the past few years, he feels that his magic has increased considerably, and it seems that the act of filling his magic every day is actually a good means of exercise.

The two chatted for an afternoon, and the furnace had already cooled, so Palin took matters into the furnace by adding selected high-quality iron ore, then closing the furnace and filling it with magic.

Just talking about it is not reliable enough after all. Through his own practice, he will be able to understand and master the knowledge of the use of the magic furnace, and by the way, see if he can get some inspiration from it and help His Majesty the Void Kamen in his blast furnace research.
