Chapter 1193: Mithril Smelting Workshop, Sterling Silver Extraction
Soon, Xia Duo took a rough tour of the Mithril mine led by Rayson, especially some typical mines, and collected echo feedback data from the ore veins.
After leaving the mine, he was led by Pete and Stern to visit the ore roughing workshop, which was actually an experience he had not experienced on earth, and all this was very new to him.
Of course, this does not mean that Xia Duo has no knowledge of ore smelting at all, but that this knowledge exists in the form of words.
After visiting the ore refining workshop, Pete, the mine steward, left first, and Stern then led Xia Duo on a tour:

"Lord Shado, next we will go to the new Mithril Smelting Workshop in the territory!"
"Oh? Rayson Collar built the Mithril Smelting Workshop in this way? ”
Hearing Stern say that the next stop was the Mithril Smelting Workshop, Xia Duo immediately became interested, which was different from the ordinary Rough Ore Smelting Workshop, which was owned by Rayson and Saville.
The Mithril Smelting Workshop that Stern mentioned is likely to be the first Mithril Smelting Workshop on the surface of Nessreilmin!
How can this be missed!
Xia Duo did obtain the Mithril Refining Technology in the [Projection Plane: Arcane Empire], and even included the ritual spell [Elemental Extraction] used to refine high-grade Mithril.
But at that time, he really hadn't seen the Mithril Refining Workshop when he was projecting the plane, and it was all written materials.
From the written information to the implementation of the actual place, if it is a spell, it is nothing, as long as the details of the spell are not lost, then there is no deviation.
But without the refining method with the participation of magic, from technology to physical objects, there are at least two difficulties to be passed: engineering and craftsmanship.
Now such a Mithril smelting workshop is in front of Xia Duo, even if it does not involve purification, it is only the rough refining of ore, even if it is only a technology provided by the Council of Severington, which is different from the Arcane Empire version.
It's also well worth a look!
……
Perhaps the Council of Severington has unlocked and opened the Mithril refining technology to the outside world, and the Mithril Smelting Workshop led by Rayson is not placed in a hidden place.
Such as in the mage tower, or with some special protective magic to pick it up.
Instead, it was not far from the mine, just within the support range of the mage tower, and there was no additional protection.
Even the density of ordinary soldiers is not higher than that of the mine, or even lower.
Because there are not a large number of dwarf slaves here like the mines and rough refineries I visited before, most of the people who work here are humans, as well as individual dwarves.
Outside the workshop, far away, Xia Duo saw a pillar of air with a dark blue flame at the bottom rising into the sky, and the scene behind the pillar was shattered.
As I got closer, I felt that the heat wave was coming, and now it was early spring, but it felt hotter than midsummer!
The weak elemental balance realm that comes with the [Crimson Shelter Robe] on Xia Duo's body can't withstand such an "extreme" environment at all.
That's when Stern started to introduce:
"Lord Shado, this was originally a workshop for refining sterling silver, and it was just transformed into a Mithril smelting workshop the day before yesterday, because sterling silver is used in the Mithril smelting process, so it was changed here."
"Sterling silver?" Shado was thoughtful.
If sterling silver were to be used in the Mithril refining technique released by the Council of Severton, it would most likely be the same as the Arcane Empire version.
"Yes, it's sterling silver."
Stern replied, but didn't explain more, and then stretched out his hand to lead in, "Lord Saddo, please come here." ”
……
Following in Stern's footsteps, Xia Duo quickly visited the Mithril Smelting Workshop, which had been converted from a sterling silver refining workshop.
The workshop is not very large, about the size of half a football field, and most of it is occupied by sterling silver refining facilities.
The only thing associated with Mithril smelting is a gray-black cylindrical smelting furnace in the corner of the workshop.
The structure of this smelting furnace is not complicated, but the design is quite ingenious, unlike the crude copper and silver smelting furnace that Xia Duo just visited.
There are three layers at the top and bottom -
The lowest layer is the combustion layer, and the fuel is coal mixed with ruby powder; The next layer is the reaction layer, which is made entirely of Adamantite, resembling a large Adamantite cup.
Above the reaction layer, there is the energy accumulation layer, and the openings are gradually closed to collect heat.
Of course, all three layers of the structure have openings on the sides for adding fuel, Mithril ore, and collecting Rough Mithril Lumps.
Xia Duo paused in front of the smelting furnace for a long time, and saw shovels of Mithril ore being sent into the furnace through the openings in the side of the energy accumulation layer.
Pieces of Mithril were also seen rough and lumped together, being scooped up by craftsmen from the molten metal of the Reaction Layer Adamantite Cup.
These crude agglomerates, after cooling, pick out those Mithril ores that have not yet fully reacted, and re-throw them through the opening of the smelting furnace energy layer, and the rest must continue to be selected to remove impurities, and only the real Mithril agglomerates will be collected for further refining.
……
Just seeing these processes, Xia Duo felt that he had gained a lot, and the council version of the Mithril refining technology was indeed very similar to the Arcane Empire version.
All of them infiltrate the Mithril ore by melting and boiling pure silver, and melt the Mithril out of it to form [Silver Mithril] agglomerates.
One of the more critical steps is to keep the sterling silver in a molten boiling state for a long time, which requires extremely high temperatures.
The Mithril refining technique that Xia Duo obtained from the projection plane does not mention a specific plan for how to obtain this state, only that it is needed.
After all, the Mithril refining technology he obtained was only a "popular science" version for students in the Academy of Magic, not an engineering process scheme that was really used in industrial production.
Although Chado has not yet purchased the parliamentary version of the Mithril refining technology from the Council of Severington, it is conceivable that there must not be a complete production process.
It should be just a simple brochure!
To implement it, the lord who bought the technology has to figure out how to do it himself.
The so-called "industrial strength" of the Esavile Leader is not enough to build the Mithril Smelting Workshop, and if nothing else, it is difficult to get the fuel alone.
Ruby powder can indeed be converted into a fire element at high temperatures, which can be used to continue to raise the temperature, but the ratio is the secret of each family.
Even if you know the fuel ratio, it is not easy to open a furnace once, first of all, you need more ore, otherwise you will not be able to draw it at all.
As for ruby powder, that's secondary, the smaller the gemstone, the lower the price, and Nessrell is not short of all kinds of gemstone powder, after all, many inks need to be added to gemstone powder.
Nowadays, even if there is one more use, the price may not increase much.
