Chu Xiangqian looked down at the sleeping beauty in his arms, remembering last night's affair, and secretly said No wonder the human nobles wanted an elf slave girl so longingly.

To describe, the elf woman has the satin skin of a black girl, the explosive body and passion of a white girl, and the gentleness and obedience of an Asian woman.

Not to mention that Luna is the best in the elf clan, she is considered a beauty-level superb.

If it weren't for the fact that the Celestial Empire was almost the New Year, Chu Xiangqian would definitely be reluctant to part with Luna.

However, no matter how rational Chu Xiangqian was, he was still in Riptide Castle and Luna for two days, and then he found an excuse to go home to do errands, and returned to the capital.

And before leaving, he officially introduced Luna to the dwarves and elven centurions in the territory, as well as various escrow officials.

Now the fool knows that Luna will be the mistress of Riptide Castle in the future, or at least one of the mistresses.

Then everyone looked at Sif, who looked unhappy.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about the two elf lords, why didn't he let the higher-status Sifu become his own woman first.

Before leaving Fort Riptide and returning to the capital, I went to the blacksmith shop in Fort Riptide.

There are indeed many marginalized dwarves among the dwarves, who are actually talents.

The old dwarf who took refuge in the blacksmith shop was Neil, the master smith of the Redbeard Dwarf.

However, the main reason why this old guy is not popular is that after becoming a master of blacksmithing, he put all his mind on metallurgy.

And it's about how to make new alloys that are more powerful than the dwarves' existing metals.

Scientific research destroys three generations, and it is equally useful in the dwarven world.

I heard that this old guy has not only bankrupted himself and his family in the past 70 years, but also borrowed almost 100,000 gold coins.

Many dwarves who had been friends with him for hundreds of years were now afraid of him, and they were entangled by him and opened their mouths to borrow money.

When Chu Xiangqian appeared in front of Old Neil, he just listened to Oleg's introduction to him, and decided to fund him with 10,000 gold coins every year for research and development.

The old guy not only promised to stay in Riptide Fort on the spot, but also promised to sort out a few alloy formulas for Chu Xiangqian and sell them to him.

Needless to say, the forging ability of the dwarves must be one of the best in Middle-earth.

Even the first.

But Chu Xiangqian knew that according to science and technology, the dwarves' metal refining, synthesizing, and processing capabilities were definitely not as good as the real world.

But in the real world, some excellent alloys are actually made by chance or accident before they become tank armor, fighter jet metal, and engine metal.

The dwarves with thousands of years of history really have a lot of alloy formulas in their hands that have not been used on a large scale.

And the four metal formulas that Chu Xiangqian got in his hand, according to the dwarf in the blacksmith shop, the first one was the most valuable.

Although this alloy is not the hardest, it is flexible and much lighter than the metal used in heavy armor.

Unfortunately, forging is too difficult, which means that the cost is extremely high, and it is not suitable for a large number of equipment.

Chu Xiangqian immediately realized that this kind of metal has a lot of value in modern society.

Metal alone is relatively light, and in many industries, it may be a good thing at the BUG level.

The second is the shield metal recipe for the Dwarven Shield Warrior.

Unfortunately, the dwarves did not approve of his recipe in the end, and continued to use the shield, which had been used for hundreds of years.

When Chu Xiangqian heard that this metal was not heat-resistant, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

However, in the end, it was bought for 10,000 gold coins.

Coupled with the first formula, Chu Xiangqian had already given Old Neil 40,000 gold coins.

The old guy owes his old friend more than 100,000 gold coins, and many of the IOUs are from fifty or sixty years ago.

Now I don't need to worry about running out of money for R&D, and I can exchange the metal formula I have researched for money to pay off my debts.

Without thinking about it, he sold the formula to Chu Xiangqian.

I was afraid that he wouldn't understand, but even what the metal in the recipe was, the proportion of various metals when making alloys, and the steps to treat the metal, all told Chu Xiangqian.

By the way, he bought two more copies of the formula that he didn't think would be useful for the car, and sold it to Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about giving an extra 10,000 gold coins.

After getting the 4 recipes, just thinking about it a little, I guessed why Old Neil didn't worry about the dwarven battle shield leaking.

With human strength, it is no problem to pick up a heavy shield weighing up to 50 kilograms.

But to be like the dwarves, wielding a heavy shield for an hour or two is unrealistic.

And dwarves are generally 1.4 meters, or even shorter.

The heavy shield suitable for their use is only two-thirds the size of a human.

If scaled up in equal proportions, the weight of the heavy shield will be heavier.

If the cast shield becomes thinner, the defense will not be as strong as the dwarven heavy shield.

Moreover, the refining and synthesis ability of the Terrans is much lower than that of the Dwarves.

This is not a technical barrier that can be changed with a single effort.

Instead of spending countless time, money, and effort researching, you can customize armor, shields, and weapons directly from the dwarves.

After all, if Chu Xiangqian wanted to exchange rifles and bullets with the dwarves, the dwarves would definitely sell him three or five thousand sets.

Even Chu Xiangqian wants to customize it.

This amount is enough to arm the elite troops of most nobles and other countries all the time in the human capital.

But for Chu Xiangqian, what he wanted was not armor, but metal that could make the Celestial Empire stronger.

After returning to the capital, Chu Xiangqian honestly stayed at home in the Qianmen courtyard and accompanied Xue Jinglan, Gangsheng and Fei Fei at home for three days.

By the way, he also took his three daughters-in-law to the friendship store to purchase New Year's goods.

If you have a Hong Kong Island ID card and foreign exchange, you can buy things in the friendship store, and you can buy them casually.

After buying the New Year's goods, he accompanied Xue Jinglan and went to Xue's house to send festivals and guests.

After appeasing the three daughters-in-law, he took the secret recipe and ore to see Tang Lianxin.

Old Man Tang watched Chu Xiangqian take out the tightly wrapped ores from the suitcase and place them on the desk.

immediately realized that Chu Xiangqian came to find him this time, maybe he was abroad, and he got a secret metal formula from abroad.

Holding back his excitement, he asked, "These days, you don't go home every day, are you going to receive secret recipes from abroad?" ”

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly happy.

He nodded with a serious expression on his face, "I spent more than 100,000 dollars to buy these four laboratory secret recipes from a metal research institute in West Germany."

I heard that it's quite advanced, but as for whether it's true.

Whether it applies to tanks, fighter shells, or gun barrels is up to our scientists to test for themselves. ”

After speaking, Chu Xiangqian's heart suddenly moved, and the shell of the submarine seemed to need a metal that was lightweight and tough enough.

Busy pointing to the first formula, he said, "The metal refined from this formula is both light and tough.

I heard from an old guy that it is possible to fit into a submarine hull.

But I'm not sure if it actually works.

After all, the ghost guy who was bought by my people, since he dared to sell this secret metal for money.

Maybe, you will dare to fool me, cheat a sum of money incognito, and live the rest of your life comfortably. ”

Tang Lianxin trusted Chu Xiangqian very much, after all, the contributions this guy had made in the past were all great credits.

So since these four metal formulas have been targeted by him, he must be extraordinary when he thinks about it.

Picked up the red phone and dialed Ouchi.

Not long after, Chu Xiangqian personally carried the suitcase, followed Tang Lianxin, and walked into the inner hall again.
