"Yes, my lord." Ma Long's face showed a three-point flattering and seven-point smug smile, and he raised his head and said. "Thanks to my ingenuity, I led the craftsmen to overcome the difficulties day by day, and finally after overcoming the difficulties and obstacles, I broke through all kinds of ceilings, and finally lived up to the trust of the adults and achieved mass production of muskets."

Good guy, where did you learn this rhetoric, Claire glanced at Malone in surprise, could it be that the other party also watched the news broadcast of Blue Star in his previous life?

"Speak human words!"

"Oh." Malone smiled shyly, quite proud. "It's just that the difficulty of making this musket is not actually the mechanism, but the manufacture of the steel pipe, but with my help, the steel pipe has been produced."

Claire nodded slightly, then her eyes widened as if she had heard something incredible.

Wait, steel pipes? What the other party said just now was a steel pipe? Not an iron pipe? Claire was stunned, you know, the sample he made was just an iron pipe, how could it be turned into a steel pipe when it came to Ma Long.

Could it be that the world already has mature steelmaking technology?

No, then why do the vast majority of soldiers still use iron weapons?

Regarding Claire's doubts, Malone laughed and explained to Claire.

"My lord, I read a special book before, which records a special way of making steel, but it is more difficult for ordinary craftsmen. The main thing is the temperature of the furnace, and it is simply impossible to heat the furnace to such a high temperature with the usual methods. ”

Claire nodded, the most difficult part of steelmaking is the high temperature, there are a lot of requirements for fuel, in the previous life, Blue Star generally used coal mines, but there seemed to be no coal mines near Tilling Town, and he had already asked the leaders about this.

Without coal, it would be impossible to produce enough heat with wood.

"So, how did you solve it?" Claire was also a little curious.

"What's so hard about that?" Malone looked smug and seemed to be saying something insignificant. "It's too easy for a magician, just use the magic circle to add more fire and wind elements to the furnace.

As long as there is a steady stream of mana input from the magician, the high temperature of this magic furnace is enough to make steel.

The reason why I thought of using steel pipes was because in the course of the experiment, the craftsmen proposed that if steel pipes were used, the service life of the musket would increase, so I thought about it and helped them make steel. ”

It can be seen that Ma Long is quite proud of his "flash of inspiration".

Immediately, Malone seemed to realize something, looked at Claire apologetically, and continued.

"Adults have just become magicians, and it should be okay if you don't know these things, but it doesn't matter, I have some relevant magic array application books here, if you don't dislike it, you can take a look and learn it."

After listening to Malone's words, Claire fell into a long silence, and her heart was even more mixed.

Ya, a mage from a high-level magical civilization, was actually despised by a low-level magician from a low-level magical civilization in the application of magic.

If this spreads, it will be a stain for a lifetime.

This is not to blame Claire, although Claire has long thought of opening an era of magic industry, but the focus is to popularize magic knowledge first, so that ordinary people can fully understand the use of magical energy, but ignore the direct application of people who already have magical energy, such as magicians, etc., which is indeed the inertia brought by thinking in the previous life.

In his previous life, the maintenance, construction and design of many magical devices were not actually done by so-called magic practitioners, but by ordinary people, who subconsciously regarded magic as something that could be popularized by the public, but ignored the objective conditions of reality.

Although Claire was a little ashamed in her heart, she also woke up a lot.

Yes, since there are many things that can be done by magicians now, why do you have to wait for the magic energy to become civilian before considering opening the magic industry, instead of using a large number of magicians to open the magic industry.

For a moment, Claire was in a lot of mood.

However, now is not the time to think about these things, Claire suppressed the throbbing in her heart, squeezed out a smile, and patted Malone on the shoulder.

"You did a great job this time, great! I won't forget your credit, come on, go and say a word to little Ivan, and send the great gift I have prepared to Master Marlon. ”

Although Claire is younger than Malone, Malone, who was patted on the shoulder by Claire, was still very excited.

The gap in status and future between two people is far from being comparable to the age gap.

Even if the identity of the magician is not low, it is still a little worse than the real fiefdom nobles, and in terms of personal strength, Claire is far stronger than Ma Long, who has heard of Claire's "brilliant record". And when it comes to the magic that he is proud of, Malone's talent is only blue, and Claire is red.

Ma Long was still a little unconvinced when he tested it at the time, but seeing Bella's rapid improvement and his lack of progress for so many years, he already believed eighty percent, and now he was even more happy to take refuge in such a promising lord.

"Thank you, don't worry, I will definitely work harder in the future."

Claire smiled and nodded, she was still quite satisfied with Mark, and now it seems that maybe Ma Long, who looks so unremarkable, is also a talent.

"No, those books, you read them well, if you don't understand, you can communicate with Bella more, it's really not good, just ask me."

"Huh?" Ma Long was slightly stunned, his smile was a little frozen, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

I originally thought that Claire would reward him with a sum of money, but I didn't expect it to be a book, a book is such a thing, for a magician, the value is really hard to judge. Malone didn't think that Claire would come up with any amazing books, and the knowledge gap between the average nobleman and the magician might be about the same as the gap between the nobles and the illiterate.

Disappointment is disappointment, but Malone didn't dare to show it, and continued to smile flatteringly.

"Thank you, sir, I'll be sure to take a good look at it. By the way, my lord, I have brought some of the latest muskets, would you like to try them? ”

Although he said so, Ma Long has already made a decision, and when the time comes, look at the title of the book, and throw it aside if it doesn't look good.

Claire hurriedly responded, and then immediately tested it, compared to the musket made of iron pipes, the steel pipes did improve the accuracy and stability of the muskets a lot, Claire was overjoyed, and couldn't help but whisper.

"If you can carve threads inside and use a conical bullet, you can probably sweep across the continent."

Claire muttered in a whisper that she didn't hide it from Marlon, but Malone didn't know why, so she hurriedly asked Claire.

Clayge thought for a moment, resisted the urge to tell the other party to stay away, it is not easy to make this primitive flintlock pistol in this world, as for the modern rifle, in the absence of a perfect industrial system, it is easy to take a big step and pull the egg, so he casually copes with the past.

"Let's not talk about that, let's go, let's go see the Musket Workshop!"
