"How do you feel about something made of manganese steel?"

Goodern said with a smile as he used fire magic to begin mending the dents in his manganese steel armor.

As for ordinary iron armor? Fix a fart.

Old Joseph, who was holding the manganese steel sword, stroked the sword body and said with great certainty.

"It's very strong, and it's incredible, that you can forge such a strong item with just iron and this manganese."

"But ......," said Joseph Sr., looking up at Goodern.

"Young Master, if this is the secret weapon you said, I still oppose the fact that you want to personally lead the team to explore the mine again."

Hearing this, Goodern was stunned for a moment, and the emotional old Joseph thought that this thing was his secret weapon?

He is still very self-aware of his force value, even with the help of these equipment, let alone fighting a group of orc scouts, it is difficult to fight one.

Even with the help of magic and entries, his combat power is at most a one-for-one level.

Goodern shook his head and explained, "Old Joseph, this thing is not for me, but for auction money. ”

"Shoot ...... Sell? Old Joseph didn't expect such a powerful weapon to be auctioned.

"yes, otherwise what do you think I'm doing all these days? The family is out of money, and I don't earn some more to drink the northwest wind. ”

"In addition, in terms of the cost of town construction, I don't set it with a pat on my head, I also have a calculation arrangement."

"As long as these manganese steels are auctioned and sold, we won't have to worry about financial problems for at least a month or two."

It was only at this moment that Joseph understood why the young master attached so much importance to the mine, and also threatened not to worry about the financial problem.

If the mine can really be developed, it will not be sold at all with the performance of manganese steel.

"In a few days, the auction house will start at the beginning of the month, and we will go to Jinyuan City together when the time comes."

Knowing the young master's plan, Joseph Sr. also agreed.

After all, it's impossible to encounter orc scouts on the way to Jinyuan City, right?

If all of this could happen, Joseph Sr. would have to wonder if he was in the Orrea Empire or the Astor Empire.

After briefly discussing their travel plans, the two went their separate ways.

Joseph Sr. was busy sifting through the various characters, while Goodern began to continue his research on the forging of the magic gun receiver.

He didn't believe that a mere bolt receiver could block his path to developing a firearm.

But this card was late at night.

During this period, Gooden perfected all the details of the manganese steel armor, but still did not come up with a good idea.

I had no choice but to give up for the time being and go back to rest.

……

Early the next morning, Gooden went to inspect the construction function of the brick kiln factory as usual.

In the afternoon, the itinerary was slightly modified and a group of people went to a river four or five kilometers north of the town.

Looking at the river tens of meters wide, Goodern was a little smacked.

The river originates in the Yongshuang Mountains and exits in the Rydro Empire, leading to the seas.

It runs through the entire Orrea Empire and the Ridrow Empire, and is the longest and largest river on the entire continent.

However, the upper half of the river is turbulent, and the ships cannot run normally at all, and only the river in the area of the Fenggu Plain is gentle and can be used for transportation.

Goodern didn't come here to build a shipyard or anything, but to dig up clay.

The large amount of clay near the river is a good choice for brick making, and Goodern also came here to build a clay field.

But that's just one of the reasons, more important is that he plans to dig a canal to get around town.

The daily water supply of urban residents is barely enough by a few wells, but when it comes to industry, it is a bit insufficient.

Papermaking, metal smelting, housing construction, and other projects all require a lot of water.

If you rely on the manpower and material resources to go to the river to get water, it will be too much, and Gooden has no experience in developing and manufacturing such things as pumping machines.

Nowadays, the most stupid and effective way is to dig a canal, and the excavated clay can also be used to make bricks, killing two birds with one stone.

Holding the map of Qingyuan Ridge, Gooden compared the location of Qingyuan Town, and silently planned a straight line on the map in his heart.

"The excavation starts here, first clearing the silt from the nearby riverside, digging out the clay downward, and then digging in the direction of the town."

Goodern gestured around, planning out the approximate clay excavation area.

With Goodern's instructions, the people who came with him immediately began their work.

The one who cuts the tree cuts the tree, and the one who digs the soil digs the soil, and it is not lively for a while.

It didn't take long for the clay to come to fruition, and as the first shovel of clay was dug up, Goodern immediately stepped in to check it out.

Smooth and slightly moist to the touch, this is the unique feel of clay.

"That's the kind of soil, and everyone digs according to this, and stores all the clay they dig up and piles it up in the open field."

"Yes, my lord!"

After everyone got the accurate target, they once again lowered their heads and worked hard.

Goodern, on the other hand, waited until the first cart was full, and then returned to the castle with the clay to be processed.

Clay is an excellent raw material that can be fired directly after excavation in just one or two steps.

Now the first step is to practice the clay to remove the excess air from the clay and make the clay structure more uniform and dense.

This step only needs to be hammered repeatedly, and the rest is to shape it, and then dry and dehydrate it to complete.

It's easy to say, but it's still difficult to do.

It was not until the evening that the clay of this car was completed with the efforts of the students of the No. 10 brick kiln, and the three steps of mud training, shaping, drying and dehydration were completed.

Of course, Goodern's secret help with magic was indispensable, otherwise it would have taken a day to dry and dehydrate alone.

The rest of the firing work will also be left for tomorrow to start trying.

The three experimental kilns have also been set up and will be ready for testing tomorrow.

At the end of the day's work, Gooden summoned Joseph Sr., who was about to sleep.

Under the orange candle, Goodern asked faintly, looking at Joseph.

"Old Joseph, do you crave power?"

The slightly dim study, coupled with the young master's tone, such a strange scene made Old Joseph feel a little chill behind him.

"Young Master, what did you say?" Bite the bullet, Joseph Sr. asked again.

"The power that can make you young, do you want it?"

Goodern stopped teasing the other and shifted his tone to a normal tone.

"Young ......?" Joseph Sr. read it over and over again, with some nostalgia in his eyes.

"Young Master, what should I do?" Then after coming back to his senses, he asked respectfully.

"You don't have to do anything, just stand......" Gooden said and went straight to the day's revisions.

[Rejuvenation: Younger body functions by 20 years, note: use with caution if you are younger than 20 years old]

At this moment, Joseph Sr. felt a strange power welling up in his body.

The tired body completely recovered at this moment, and at the same time, the slightly drowsy mind was also reactivated at this moment.

From Goodern's point of view, most of the wrinkles on Joseph Sr.'s face had disappeared, and his gray hair had turned black again.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet reacted, Gooden quickly refreshed the remaining two times.

After finding no good entries, he dismissed: "Okay, don't be so excited at night, go back to sleep." ”

"......, okay, young master."

Old Joseph clenched his fists with some excitement, and without saying anything more, he retreated directly from the study.
