Chapter 91
There were many people and strength, and the exploration team was very manpowered, and it didn't take much time to set up the camp. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This is also thanks to the solid foundation laid by the pioneer team before, the ground is leveled and tamped, the surrounding vegetation has been cleared, and even the tents have already been erected. And what they support is not an ordinary tent, but the kind of special thickened and reinforced, with two layers inside and outside, windproof and waterproof, and the effect of heat and cold insulation is even more outstanding. Even though it was freezing at the moment, once you stepped into the tent lit by the brazier, you could immediately feel the warm breath. Living in such a tent, no matter how cold the weather is, you don't have to worry about getting frostbitten.
The main task of the exploration team is to set up the equipment needed for the exploration and build the small smelter.
They use a magic refining furnace, which is very costly, and requires a large amount of mana to be used every time, and it is generally necessary for a middle-level mage to preside over it, so that it can be used more frequently. Naturally, there are mid-level mages in the exploration team, and there are three of them. Combining the forces of the three of them, it is possible to open the furnace roughly every two days, which is almost enough.
Theoretically, as long as there is enough mana supply, the magic furnace can be made without fuel. However, in order to ensure the stability of the magic refining furnace, the exploration team still prepared a large number of magic crystals, with a total value equivalent to at least tens of thousands of gold coins.
If needed, these crystals will be used as fuel for the magic furnace. However, no one is willing to consume magic crystals to smelt ore unless they have to—silver ore itself is certainly not worth the price, and in its associated mines, even the expensive Mithril is not worth consuming magic crystals to smelt.
The reason why these magic crystals are prepared is just to be prepared.
The construction of the magic furnace is not easy, this thing is quite complex and delicate, it needs to be done by a person with a good mind and strength, and it can be built smoothly under the guidance of a professional. Most of the people in the exploration team can only play a role, and only four people in the elite group can really take the lead.
As the number one spellcaster in the elite group, Sid is undoubtedly the core of building the magic furnace, and everyone else is cooperating with him. He had never shouldered such a heavy responsibility before, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and almost made a mistake twice in a row.
If others were like this, there must have been some of the three mid-level mages who had already cursed. But Sid is not inferior to them in terms of strength and status, and even as a rising star, the future future is even higher than them, so even the arrogant mages have shown enough patience to comfort them with kind words while tirelessly explaining them repeatedly.
When Sid succeeded in his third attempt to build the core of the furnace, not only did he let out a long breath and smile, but everyone also breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
The most difficult thing in the magic furnace is to build the core, and after the core is built, the rest is nothing more than some hard work. As long as you can sense the magic flow people, it is unlikely that you will misspell things. All four of the Exploration Team's elite group were able to sense the flow of mana, and three of them were even able to cast spells at all, certainly not making such a low-level mistake.
About half an hour later, when it was getting late, the magic furnace that was almost as tall as three people was finally built. With a low humming sound, the blue-white electric light flowed through the furnace, spun around rapidly, and finally turned into a small vortex and disappeared into the core of the furnace's center.
This means that the furnace is set up correctly and can function properly.
Even though they were already very confident before, it was only at this time that everyone was truly sure of success, and they couldn't help cheering.
This magic furnace is specially made by the Dwarven Kingdom, using many special materials and the latest research technology, which greatly improves its smelting efficiency, and can also effectively filter out impurities in the ore. The former is not enough, the latter is extremely important for smelting, many times, between good steel and scrap iron, between high-grade metal ingots and garbage and waste residue, the difference is actually just a little impurity.
Although there are not many impurities that this refining furnace can filter out, this is just a little bit, compared to ordinary magic refining furnaces, it is already as high as a mountain.
It's so wonderful, and it's naturally very difficult to manufacture. The cost of raw materials alone is more than 20,000 gold coins, and if you include the research and development costs and the hard work of the blacksmiths, it may be worth about 50,000 gold coins.
This price is really a bit frustrating, you know, the average magic refining furnace is only four or five thousand gold coins. This guy costs almost ten times as much as a normal magic furnace!
It's so precious that you can't afford to be careless. Sid was so nervous before, and this was an important reason. With his net worth, the ordinary magic refining furnace of only four or five thousand gold coins is really not so nervous that he failed twice in a row.
Fortunately, everything went well, it was built safely and steadily, and finally did not let tens of thousands of gold coins go down the drain.
After this magic furnace was built, everyone rested for a while, and while the night had not completely fallen, another magic furnace was built.
However, the statue did not enjoy this kind of treatment, and Dudu Hill easily erected it with a few strong men, and it took less than twenty minutes before and after.
"I'm good at it. Du Du was still babbling and boasting while working, "When I was learning smelting, I had built at least hundreds of such refining furnaces, and I could really do it with my eyes closed, and it was absolutely impossible to make a mistake." ”
"Did you make a mistake in the first place?" Hopps asked with a smile.
"Of course...... Out of. Du Du laughed, "How can there be anyone in the world who can do it from the beginning? When I first learned to build a magic furnace, I broke seven or eight of them. ”
Everyone twitched when they heard this, seven or eight magic refining furnaces, isn't that just thirty or forty thousand gold coins?! The dwarf kingdom is really rich, and such a large sum of money is thrown down just to let the young people practice their hands......
"Don't believe him bragging!" sneered an older dwarf leading the group, "It's true that they broke seven or eight statues before and after, but they were in groups of thirty or forty at the beginning. Broken cores can also be recycled and remade. The ordinary magic refining furnace is not the new one this time, and if the core is broken, it will be broken, and it will probably cost a thousand gold coins to return to the furnace and redo it. ”
“...... Save me some face!" Du Du shouted, "I invited you to drink yesterday!"
"We dwarves are an honest and trustworthy people. The old dwarf laughed, "Stop bragging here, go, drink! ”
"Where do you have a drink to treat? Didn't you finish drinking it before?"
"How old are you, and you're still so naïve. ”
"You just said that we dwarves are an honest and trustworthy people!"
The older dwarf stroked his beard and laughed and asked, "Which is more important, drinking or being honest and trustworthy?"
Du Du pondered for a while, and said with some hesitation: "It's important to drink." ”
"Let's go, let's drink!" the older dwarf walked over and slapped him on the back as he looked around, "Let's go drink too, I have a lot of wine, enough for today!" (To be continued.) )
