"You mean to say that when the elemental energy in the elemental alloy is consumed, it will turn into a piece of scrap metal?"

Hearing this, Boudro nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this has been confirmed by the minister with another flintlock pistol."

In other words, this was really a flaw that Xia Qi did not expect, and at the same time, it also made him realize another thing.

"In other words, you put bluestone powder into the elemental alloy to further change its material?"

Hearing this, Boudreau nodded again and again.

"That's right! In the process of integrating bluestone powder, Chen once again changed the material of this elemental alloy. Your Majesty, please look at this. ”

As he spoke, Boudreau pulled out another dark red metal ingot.

Xia Qi took the metal ingot and began to look at it seriously, judging from the watch, the two pieces of metal were no different.

"I call this fire element alloy smelted with Qingyan powder Qingyan Steel, and that war knife is forged from this Qingyan Steel!"

"If the previous fire element alloy was just a low-quality consumable, then it was tempered into Qingyan by blending it with Qingyan powder??????????????? After the steel, this blocked low-quality consumable, the elemental power inside began to circulate. In other words, it can now absorb the elemental power in a steady stream, and even if the elemental power inside is exhausted, it can be restored, which can be said to be a weakened version of the artificial magic core. ”

Hearing this, Xia Qi was suddenly shocked.

But before he could calm down, Budero spoke again: "If you directly use Qingyan Steel to forge it, you can also forge a spell weapon, and its power can barely reach the first order, and it is slightly inferior in the strength of the spell and the content of elemental power. But if it is combined with a magic core or magic crystal with the same attributes, then this weapon can directly undergo a qualitative change! ”

"Take this sword as an example, when inlaid with a fire-based magic crystal, it is equivalent to having two energy points that provide elemental power. At the same time, the characteristics of Qingyan steel can also make the corresponding elemental power flow, become more efficient, and reduce unnecessary elemental loss. ”

"In other words, a blow that originally required the consumption of thirty percent of the elemental power to make a blow may now only need to consume one percent of the elemental power to do it!"

Budero's words directly set off a storm in Xia Qi's heart.

With a piece of magic crystal inlaid with it, this battle knife forged from Qingyan steel was already comparable to the power of the original second-order spell weapon.

In this case, this new type of spell weapon can even save the consumption of elemental power, so as to launch more powerful spell attacks, from this point of view, it is completely the original spell weapon has been completely exploded!

"Budero, you said that if the inlaid magic crystal is replaced with a first-order magic core, then is it possible for the power of this battle knife to directly reach the third-order level?"

For this issue, Xia Qi can be said to be very concerned.

If this effect can be achieved, then Great Xia will gain a leap forward in the field of forging spell weapons.

Of course, in fact, judging from the current situation alone, the improvement is already very huge.

According to Buderow, although smelting elemental alloys requires the loss of magic crystals and increases the cost of forging, after paying this cost, they can obtain greater benefits!

Faced with Xia Qi's question, after pondering for a while, Budero said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's personal estimate, in the case of inlaying a first-order fire demon core, even if this battle knife is forged from Qingyan steel, it is difficult to reach the third-order standard. After all, the gap between the first order and the third order is very large, and the effect should be about two to three percent worse. ”

Xia Qi, who got such an answer, secretly gasped in his heart, even so, it was enough!

At the same time, the kind of weapon that does not need a magic core, only needs to be inlaid with magic crystals, the power is also very considerable, and in the case of reduced elemental power consumption, you can also consider the possibility of mass production.

At this time, Boudreau spoke again: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask Your Majesty to stop the forging of elemental alloys by those indigenous dwarves first, and then go to the place where the elemental alloys are forged in person to confirm their forging process. Those indigenous dwarves have too little understanding of the mineral Magic Crystal after all, and after reading it, they may be able to improve it to forge a better elemental alloy! ”

Budro didn't want the indigenous dwarves to continue to waste this precious magic crystal, and it was no wonder that he had just stepped off the airship on his front foot, and Budro came to meet him in a hurry on his hind foot.

Being able to obtain a better elemental alloy than this, for Xia Qi, it was naturally unwanted.

However, there is a problem here, according to Romanov, the environment of the volcanic forge is very harsh, except for those dwarven craftsmen who have long been accustomed to the hot environment, the high temperature there can even make humans and elves faint on the spot.

However, Xia Qi himself was also very interested in the forging workshop of the elemental alloy, and he was even more interested in Budero's proposal.

In this way, Xia Qi then directly issued two orders.

The first order is to have the Volcano Forge temporarily stop forging elemental alloys.

The second order is for the people below to start developing workwear that can adapt to the volcanic environment and withstand high temperatures.

Sharpening knives and not chopping wood, this is Xia Qi's consistent style.

Since you are going, you naturally have to do a good job of equipment in advance.

At the same time, after getting the equipment out, it can also make the work of the dwarven craftsmen of the Volcano Forges easier.

There is nothing to say about the double thing.

After that, the special material forged by smelting the Qingyan powder from the elemental alloy is collectively known as Qingyan steel.

At the same time, according to different attributes, it can also be subdivided into fire-based Qingyan steel, earth-based Qingyan steel and so on.

In addition, in order to facilitate the distinction from the original spell weapons, the equipment forged from Qingyan steel is collectively referred to as elemental equipment.

Depending on the category, it can also be divided into elemental weapons, elemental armor, and so on.

Basically, the effect and power of a first-order elemental weapon can be compared to a second-order spell weapon.

Therefore, the appearance of elemental equipment can be said to have pushed spell weapons to the brink of obsolescence in one fell swoop.

If there are no accidents, in front of the elemental equipment, the spell equipment that does not have any advantages should not be minted again.

Eighty percent of the existing spell equipment will have to be reforged in the future.

After a period of time, the high-temperature workwear that could adapt to the volcanic environment was quickly developed.

In fact, there has always been a high temperature overalls in Daxia.

It's just that some of the working conditions in the factory are not as exaggerated as the volcano.

Therefore, this time, after receiving Xia Qi's order, they also improved the existing high-temperature overalls as quickly as possible and made an enhanced version.

This set of overalls covers the whole body, with special goggles for the eyes and a filtering breathing apparatus for the nose and mouth.

Wearing this set of equipment, the whole person looks like a chemical worker.

However, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, everyone is going to work, not to the catwalk.

Safety is the key.

With a full set of equipment and then called Budrau, Xia Qi and his party took the Monarch airship away.

This trip also took some time.

When the Monarch airship arrived above its destination and began to slowly lower its flight altitude, Xia Qi, who was still in the sky, felt the change in temperature.

After officially landing safely, the group led by Xia Qi unhurriedly unfastened the seat belts on their bodies and walked down.

】

Looking at the huge fire in front of him, Xia Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, majestic and magnificent.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

Fortunately, due to its own reasons, there are no gathering places in this place.

Otherwise, if the volcano erupts directly, it may cause much damage.

Then, according to the plan, after changing into overalls, the group headed towards the interior of the volcano under the leadership of Romanov.

???????????????

In other words, Xia Qi's mood now is somewhat similar to when Romanov first entered, and he was a little worried about whether this furnace volcano, which had been in peace for so many years, would suddenly erupt.

This bad feeling made Xia Qi's whole heart hang in his throat all the time.

On the other hand, it is not known if it was because his passion for elemental alloys overrode everything, or if he had not learned anything about volcanoes at all.

At this time, he was not so much nervous as eager, and he was already a little eager to go to the Volcano Forges to confirm the smelting process of the elemental alloy.

As everyone gradually deepened, the temperature around them continued to rise, and even in high-temperature overalls, Xia Qi and the others felt a heat that could not be stopped at all.

Unlike the last time Romanov came in, due to Xia Qi's stop, the work on the Volcano Forge side has basically stopped.

During this time, the dwarven craftsmen were completely on vacation and resting, so there was no movement of hammering and forging in this volcanic forge now.

"Haven't you arrived yet?"

Pulling the high-temperature overalls he was wearing, Xia Qi was a little uncomfortable at this time, and he felt that he was about to faint from the heat.

I have some doubts in my heart about whether the work clothes on my body have played a role.

In fact, the effect of this overalls is actually quite good.

This point, the Romanovs, who came in before, can be said to be deeply aware of this.

"It's here, it's just ahead."

As he spoke, everyone had already walked into the forge located in the cave in the belly of the mountain, and at that moment, the oncoming high temperature made Xia Qi, who was already so hot that he was about to die, and his whole brain almost lost the ability to think.

I glanced inside, and I have to say that this scene is quite amazing.

Before this, who would have imagined that there would be such a forge in such a huge volcano.

Next to one of the forge tables, three dwarven craftsmen, who had also changed into overalls, stood there.

This time, since it was to confirm the forging process of the elemental alloy, it must have been forged in front of them by the dwarven craftsmen.

So, this time, Romanov specially called the one with the best craftsmanship among all the dwarven craftsmen, and the two next to him were assistants.
