Chapter 23: Mass Production
After much thought, Jerry gave up on the idea of letting Lisa watch him transform his armor.
It's not that he doesn't trust Lisa, the two are friends of life and death, and he holds each other's biggest secrets.
But whether it's the fact that he's not a priest and can drive the magical element, or the mysterious Book of Destiny, it's all enough to cause a lot of trouble, and there's no room for the slightest difference.
It was only now that Jerry truly realized the power of a would-be saint.
In front of him were ten sets of chain mail, with no signs or inscriptions on them, but it was obvious from the subtleties that they had definitely just been created.
Moreover, all of these chain mails are custom-made, and although the size of each metal ring is the same as before, the material used has been reduced by about 50%.
Anyone who knows anything about armor forging knows that the material used in chain mail is reduced by 50%, and the defense ability is reduced by more than 50%. It can even be said that these pieces of chain mail are equivalent to scrap, and they will probably be quite comfortable to wear on the soldiers, but the improvement in comfort is far from making up for the loss of defensive effect.
Normally, no one would wear such chain mail, and naturally there would be no armorsmith to make such armor at all, it was completely made by Catherine according to the transaction with him.
"It's not easy to make ten pieces in less than a day!"
Jerry couldn't help but sigh, but at the same time he secretly pouted.
"But it's only a fifty percent reduction in materials, and Her Highness the Holy Maiden is underestimating me, right?"
Jerry himself had experimented with ordinary chain mail, and if he had used the most meticulous method to handle each metal ring individually, the chain mail would have been ten times stronger.
It's just that it takes time and effort, and of course he won't do that now.
But even using the laziest method, dealing with chain mail as a whole at once is enough to increase the strength of the defense several times. This lifting effect is related to the material used in the chain mail, and the worse the original material, the more obvious the effect.
Like the ones that are now in front of him, the strength of the defense after he deals with it will be at least twice as strong, but the effect is good enough, but the profit will be a little worse, at least it will not meet his original requirements.
In his idea, let Catherine reduce the original chain mail to 30%, and finally the defense strength after his treatment can also be about 1.5 times, which is the most perfect, and of course, the most profitable.
Jerry shook his head, he could see that Catherine didn't trust him very much, so he built fifty percent of the chain mail for him.
But he believed that it would not be long before the other party would forge the new armor as he asked, because he would give the most powerful facts!
Jerry cautiously doubled to check that the doors and windows were locked, and then picked up the first set of chain mail.
As he felt the direction of the flow of magic in his body, he controlled the flow of magic power to rush out of his palm, and the chain mail under his palm suddenly became blurred.
This was just the beginning, and soon the blur on the surface became like a wave was surging, and layers of fog that seemed transparent and seemed to be blue and white swirled over it.
Suddenly, even with the naked eye, the fog closest to the chain mail was actually a little less, but immediately a new mist was added to the previous position.
It's just that if someone can watch it up close like Jerry, they will notice that only the fog in other parts has been replenished, but the whole fog has faded.
In just a few minutes, the fog on the chain mail had completely disappeared, leaving only a watery film covering it.
Jerry's eyes were bright, and he raised his hand and patted it lightly on the chain mail.
With a bang, the last layer of water-like film disappeared, and it melted into every metal ring of the chain mail.
Looking at the bright silver armor in his hand, although he had quietly experimented many times, it could be said that he was familiar with it, but Jerry was still a little nervous. After all, this is not an experiment, but a very big transaction, and it will eventually be inspected.
He drew his sword from his waist, the same one he had used to slash the Raven King in the Valley of Warcraft. Later, after returning to the Holy City, he found someone to reforge it, and it was stronger and sharper than before.
In fact, after he discovered that his mana flow could induce elemental enhancement armor, he tried to use it on his weapon, but the result was a failure.
For some reason, his mana flow only worked on armor and only a limited number of armors, and he couldn't figure out why.
With his current strength, he was enough to cut through the ordinary level of chain mail with all his strength, and what Catherine provided him was the most ordinary one.
Brush!
Jerry slashed with the sword in his hand, and the steel longsword slashed out a silver light, slashing through the surface of the chain mail with precision, and even sparks could be seen scattering in all directions.
Seventy percent of the strength is enough to cut through this level of chain mail!
Jerry immediately took a closer look, only to see that the chain mail was intact and there wasn't even a white mark!
"It's done!"
Jerry couldn't help but clench his fists and yell.
Although it was a result he had guessed a long time ago, he was thrilled to confirm it himself.
Judging from the strength of his just seventy percent but still not hurting the chain mail, the strength of this chain mail has definitely reached more than twice the standard.
According to Jerry's idea just now, he only needs to deal with one thing, and then send it back directly to Catherine, so that the other party can understand his strength.
But after thinking about it, he decided to dispose of the rest of the chain mail as well.
The reason is not only that he feels that he needs to give His Highness a little benefit and let the other party fully understand his value, but also because he wants to do another experiment to see if he can process multiple pieces of chain mail at once, or even in large quantities.
Jerry directly put the three pieces of chain mail together, and in his opinion, there was no problem in handling two pieces, so he started with three.
It's still the same step, running the flow of mana, forcing it out from the palm of your hand, and then attracting the water element between heaven and earth.
Soon, all three pieces of chain mail turned silver and shiny, and as the water film disappeared, he finished disposing of them at the same time.
Jerry didn't need a long sword anymore, he tried it directly with his fists, and these three pieces of chain mail also clearly had a defensive strength that was not weaker than the first one.
Three things are done, but what about six?
Jerry raised the corners of his mouth, suppressing his excitement, as if he saw a large fortune beckoning to him.
However, after a few minutes, Jerry withdrew his hand with a frown.
He failed!
But how did it fail?
Jerry tries again, but fails again when the fog appears, and everything quietly stops.
Especially when Jerry disbelieves in only taking a piece of chain mail to deal with it, although this time it is successful, he finds that the defense strength of the chain mail is a little worse.
"What's going on?"
Jerry was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't expect it to be a disadvantage.
Thankfully, he didn't confidently stop after the first one, and if it happened in the rest of the process, it would have been a lot of fun.
It's a trivial matter to be ashamed, will the deceived saint be raided and exterminated?
He was not afraid of raiding his family and exterminating his family, after all, his only relative in this world, Old Harry, had already gone to see the God of Light, but he estimated that the glorious arrow of the Holy Maiden would be enough for him.
"Calm down! my mana flow is barely depleted, obviously not my own problem......"
Jerry forced himself to calm down and think carefully.
Suddenly, he stood up with a thud.
"It's not me, it's on the outside world, of course. As for the outside world, I used the water element attracted by the magic flow, could it be that the water element here has been used up by me?"
This is really a bold idea, the four elements of heaven and earth plus the two divine elements of light and darkness constitute a balance, who dares to say that the elements can be used with light? This kind of argument is a great disrespect.
Only Jerry dared to think so, because he was not from this world, and because he knew very well what the process of handling the armor was like.
He doesn't consume his own mana flow much, but uses the circulation of mana flow to attract the water element between heaven and earth, and the amount consumed once or twice is not a problem, but if the number of times is more and longer, won't the water element in this room decrease?
Even if the four elements of heaven and earth are in balance by themselves, it will take time to replenish them from other places, right?
Verifying this issue is simple, just wait.
If his judgment is correct, then as long as he waits for a while, he can use this method to deal with the armor again.
Jerry had to try it every few minutes, and it was the same at first, but he soon felt the difference.
The water elemental had indeed regathered, and although it was still not as effective as it was at the beginning, it had already proved that his judgment was correct.
It took a full hour for Jerry to be sure that the gathering of water elementals was enough, and just as he had guessed, this time he had all six pieces of armor at once.
He finally determined that the key point was not the amount of armor, but the amount of water elements that he could attract within a certain range. As long as the amount of water elemental is sufficient, then it is not impossible for him to handle more armor.
Of course, Jerry also understands that this number cannot be infinite, and he estimates that the range he can attract will not be much larger than the current room, and the estimated number of chain mail should be around ten sets.
But you can't let him wait for half a day for every few sets, right?
In that case, he won't have to cultivate, just stand here every day and be a worker, so that no matter how much money he earns, what is the use of obtaining more resources, this is not what he wants.
It would be nice if there was anything that could replace the water element......
Syllable!
Jerry slapped himself on the head.
"How stupid am I, how did I get this ability in the first place, Demon Core! If I can release a large amount of magic elements, what could be more convenient than a magic core! And I seem to be able to ask for something ......else by the way."
The boys in Blue Village are both despised and looked forward to, and often as soon as they appear, a smile of supreme confidence can appear on Jerry's face.
He brushed the ground and picked up the pen and wrote wildly.
"My dear Highness, I propose to reduce the cost by half again. In addition, please provide four series of magic cores, the more the better. ”
After thinking about it, Jerry crossed out the word "dear" again.
Now he felt very satisfied, and it seemed that he didn't feel that this was a taste of three hundred taels of silver here......
