Chapter 342: I'm leaving
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The sound of squeaking and grinding came from the massive metal creation.
The thing standing in a clearing looked inconspicuous, except for two stubby and two thin cylinders, which were interspersed with several large wheels and chains, it was a solid platform made of metal, but at this moment, a large group of people gathered around him, watching with curiosity as the huge wheel was constantly turned by a giant. In the creaking sound of metal rubbing, a section gradually stretched out from the thick cylinder, pushing the mold below downward, and finally closed tightly in a tooth-sore grinding sound!
"Old Hans, what is this that the lord took out? Could it be a golem? But why didn't you see them move?" And one voice succeeds in pulling all the doubts onto one person.
"How do I know, old man, I'm not a mage!" the old man snorted—but the blacksmith seemed to be able to find a clue from memory,
Under the table, the simple grooves on the two huge pieces of metal seem to be the molds used to pour some rough benzene. It's just that...... Well, judging by the dark but glittering exterior, it must have been the same thing as the adamantite gold that the lord had given to the blacksmiths a few days earlier.
Whole piece of Adamantite ...... Or is it pure...... O nose of the gods......
The old blacksmith blinked, almost frightened by the realization that the two molds were at least four or five feet square, and weighed hundreds of pounds, even if they were only breaded with a layer of pure gold, they would have to weigh twenty or thirty pounds...... If it's less, it's basically meaningless.
Of course, just like the young lord's usual way of doing things, the result of this simple thing is extremely magical......
At least in the eyes of the civilians, it was miraculous - after Carden's loud thud, the giant began to shake the handle of the giant wheel behind the iron lump in reverse, and then, as the mold slowly opened, a small worker took out a pair of cuirass.
That's right, a pair of cuirassa.
The beautiful deck, proudly shimmering gray in the sun, even the ivy ornamental patterns on it are extremely clear. Although there are some irregular scraps on the edges, even ordinary people can see that if they are cut and polished, a pair of sheet metal cuirasses that would have required at least a skilled blacksmith to hammer it can be molded.
A mercenary of the guard was lucky enough to be the first to try on this armor, and after putting on the leather rope and fastening it, this plate armor was combined with the original chain armor on his body, and it seemed that his defense power was immediately more than doubled, and then put on the shin armor and arm armor pressed out at the same time as the breastplate, this guy's appearance of showing off his might almost made the eyes of several companions around him burst into sparks.
"This ...... Magic is magical...... No, I should say, Lord Lord, you are amazing. ”
Old Hans, who witnessed this qiē, like the people around him, widened his eyes, shook his head incredulously, and muttered the word over and over again, as if he could only find such a word to describe what was happening in front of him.
Because this breastplate, before the small half of the hourglass scale, was nothing more than a rough metal plate, and everyone watched as it was forged by a few blacksmith apprentices!
But now, after being cut and cut by a blacksmith's apprentice, this thing is a good breastplate!
Old Hans walked up a few steps, reached out and stroked the deck, and knocked lightly a few times, a blacksmith's experience was enough to tell him that the thickness of this armor was absolutely uniform enough, and the pulling force was good, even in ordinary cities, it could be sold for at least two hundred, no, a good price of more than five hundred gold coins, you know, it was mixed with pure gold!
"Really...... It's amazing. ”
The old man smiled bitterly.
It is conceivable that as long as there are enough small workers and forged rough steel plates, such a cuirass can produce a hundred sets a day, right? No, not to mention? Six hundred or seven hundred can be used! Moreover, because the shape is the same, if it is damaged, it is enough to reassemble the same component, and the broken part can be rebuilt, which is really convenient.
Old John's mind was not very stupid, and the years had given him enough experience, otherwise, he might not have been able to do the job of the city master, and most importantly, he was also a blacksmith who had worked all his life, but because of this, his smile had a bitter taste.
Because he quickly thought of something that meant it...... and possible changes.
That's definitely ...... is synonymous with a terrifying efficiency.
Although you can see many people who make a living by forging steel all over the continent, in fact, if you want to become a good blacksmith, you have to remember as many things as mountains...... The length of horseshoes, saddle shoes, and even small nails should be understood, and the heat of each of those large things will not be too similar. As for the blacksmiths who specialize in crafting weapons, the requirements are even higher...... The thickness of the long sword, the heat, when it was quenched, the angle of the hammer...... The shape of the sword only needs to be changed slightly, and almost all the problems have to be recalculated, and a broadsword used by a man is not in the slightest resemblance to the ankha sword used by a woman, let alone the thousands of pieces of armor that are different but have to be enclosed into a suitable whole. Even in larger cities, a full-body armor is not something a blacksmith can do in a matter of days, and legend has it that it would take the dwarves months to make a delicate set of armor.
But now, in front of this big guy of steel, this qiē is not simple.
It only takes a few different molds, and things appear in a steady stream, hammers, tongs, striking angles, heat, changes in the color of the flames, a qiē qiē experience that he is familiar with and proud of, and then it becomes meaningless.
The figures covered in dust and dust, but illuminated by the firelight into a dark red, the muscles that swelled and contracted with the thumping action, the flickering sweat, the rhythm of the tinkling hammer, the tearing stinging pain on the body when exerting strength, the pungent smoke, and the exhaustion of the burning heat and the exertion slowly squeezing out every drop of water in the body......
Suddenly, these things flashed through my memory...... Old Hans shook his head, and suddenly had an illusion, as if this qiē had turned into a long past at this moment, and there was no going back.
Gone forever.
Such iron guys, well, Lord Lord called them machine qì...... If there are a few more such machines, what is the use of those old blacksmiths who pride themselves on their skill? They will probably do nothing like ordinary apprentices, right? They can only wait for the finished product to appear, and then do some work to get their hands on, but there are more young and strong people, will they still be given the same attention in the future?
Oh, and now they might be able to work around the smelting furnace, forging the steel plates used to make the zuò armor, but, as a close proximity to the young lord, old man Hans had already heard that the young lord had plans to build a large furnace in the future, and ......
The old man took out his pipe from his waist tremblingly, but he didn't put it on...... Because it suddenly occurred to him that the lord would definitely use a machine to make the molten iron spit out of those furnaces directly turn into billets and steel sheets...... Maybe you just pour molten iron into it from this side, and then a lot of billets come out from that side......
Who knows? Isn't magic such a magical thing?
"Sure enough, science and technology are the primary productive forces. ”
When the old butler felt the desolation of the waning mountains, the young lord was looking down from the window of the tower.
What kind of technology is used for this thing? It seems to be some kind of Pascal's principle or something, right? In short, it has the same effect as leverage?
Edward's eyes narrowed slightly, although he had almost lost all this knowledge of physics, he still remembered the general content...... In any case, the ratio of this pressure, which can increase the force by about ten times, plus the power of a giant, is used to forge a thin steel plate several centimeters thick, and it is obviously enough.
In fact, he is still thinking about it, if the mold is changed to a cutter and used to make a simple weapon, it seems to be a feasible solution?
As for something a little more advanced...... As long as the mold is designed, it is easy to press some homogeneous metal shapes, and it is not even very difficult to make an enchanted style, and it is enough to add a carved knife to the reserved mold, if the requirements are a little more complicated...... It's not a problem to get a hand grinding wheel to sand.
Therefore, it is conceivable that in the near future, this kind of affordable and high-quality armor and weapons will be enough to become a great source of wealth for Burgundy, after all, in this world, it is not the sword on the waist of the general, the magic armor on the body, but the sharp weapon in the hands of thousands of soldiers, which is a well-known fact.
As for Edward, he is not short of minerals, although in the vicinity of Romanty, there are no suitable pits, however, in the deep underground, deposits such as refined iron are far less than dark pure gold, so for the underground creatures are almost no different from cabbage, Shammas and the drow of Hansa Tilon must be willing to exchange these worthless stones for the food, wood and luxury goods they need, of course, this trade will also provide Edward with gems and spider silk that are special products of the dark region, which are also sought-after goods on the surface。
At least, once this chain is formed, his territory will definitely attract more commercial routes, and it is conceivable that the population will follow.
"You often make such things?"
The sound of slight footsteps sounded behind him, and Edward didn't need to look back, he could see the slender figure shrouded in black robes from his mental forehead, but he didn't speak, just waited, she stood still behind him for a long time, and broke the silence by herself.
"Teacher, you're already resting?" he smiled back, pretending to have just noticed, but the female mage ignored his actions lightly, "Not a bad idea. She said - it seemed a little strange, but it wasn't a surprising secret for a high-ranking mage: "Very few mages think that way, or that's one of the reasons why you've grown so fast." ”
"Actually, it's not that difficult, it's just that mages rarely look down to understand what ordinary people need. Edward shook his head modestly. "Maybe that's because all the mages are busy looking up to the higher places. After thinking about it, he said.
This is not a trick of false modesty, after all, the structure of the hydraulic forging machinery is actually quite simple, and the principle of pressure is not necessarily how profound, but for a mage, especially for a mage who has mastered the magic of the axe, the various components that are directly formed are of course much faster than making such a bulky machine, so no one will ever guide the idea in this direction.
"And what about you?" she looked up, her expression still calm.
"I, of course, I would like to be able to stand on the clouds one day, but until then, I am a creature fit to stand on the ground, and that cannot be wrong. He smiled, but his gaze was a little frozen.
When it can be appreciated with an equal gaze, it is enough to discover more charm hidden in that spaciousness. For example, the slender and smooth curves outlined by the soft long slope as you move, and the slender and delicate face hidden in the shadow of the hood.
Or, the woman who had become accustomed to hiding herself with a hood and shadow, did not pay too much attention to the apprentice's gaze, and the darkness could not hinder the gaze of those eyes......
But she still seemed to have a strange mystery that was elusive, and even if she could see that pale, slender face and deep eyes, it seemed to contain endless secrets.
The more mysterious it is, the easier it is to arouse that longing in people's hearts, isn't it?
"So, what exactly is his plan, teacher? I think you seem to have said that he was going to wake up something. Edward asked, "So, what is it?"
"Do you think he'll allow me to say this now?" the female mage's gaze flickered across his face, and her tone changed slightly.
"Okay, then I'll take a guess. With a touch of her deep eyes, the psychic warlock quickly turned his gaze away like a thief: "It seems that it should be an extremely evil thing, it may be a certain demon, no, the demon does not need such a scale, 100,000 souls, at least it must be a very powerful being, could it be a certain evil god? Which of the legendary evil gods are still surviving?"
"Ridiculous news is not knowledge. The gods never resurrect with the help of souls, and souls without faith are nothing to them. ”
"No way, you know, I haven't read a few magic books before. Edward laughed, but was not discouraged: "But I've heard that mere faith doesn't make sense, on the contrary, practicing faith makes the gods strong." If it's a god in the realm of evil warfare, no, or murder, death, or something like that, then their actions are worthwhile. Isn't the disappointment priesthood before the ascension of the god of death shared by the three ancient gods?"
"But their priesthood has been taken over by the current god of death, His Majesty Kelanwo, and now the dead will no longer give them more power. There was a hint of approval in the female mage's eyes, but she shook her head: "Death is one of the cores of the entire multiverse, if you still have this priesthood, then those three guys will not be completely knocked down from the god position." ”
"Also, it shouldn't be a god of war, the existing god of war is basically complete, and there is no successor. ”
"Actually, it's not a god at all, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to sue me about this, would you?" The Psychic Warlock lowered his head and nodded his forehead with an index finger: "Then, although the resurrection of the Demon Lord can be used to obtain souls, the lower realm should never lack these things...... I once saw the description in the book, just the battle between the devil and the demon, every ten minutes, ah, every hourglass scale will produce hundreds of thousands of souls, so no thing in the lower realm will use this means, not gods, not demons...... Could it be that those powerful beings of the other world are Zài?"
"It's scary. Still, there is nothing. ”
The telemancer raised his head: "Don't be anxious, if you want to control the entire country, then his approach, eighty percent is still to start a war against the empire, in this way, you can best cover up his thoughts, and you can call on the resources of the entire Tuminis, even if you are defeated, but once the ** division comes forward, the empire will still have to pay a lot of losses, although this is a very ingenious plan, however, if you want to put it into practice, it will have to be carried out for a year and a half, or even ten or eight years, we still have time." ”
The corners of the female mage's mouth, which had always been cold and straight, suddenly had a gentle arc at this moment...... Because I know that his words are actually words of comfort to myself.
"I'm leaving. She spoke.
"Huh?" the psychic warlock was really a little stunned this time,
"I'm staying here, and I'll only let him know about you......," she said, saying a lot of words, more words, "When I followed you here, I didn't think you would have such an achievement, two, no, three months at most, but three months, and you actually got so much...... But in that way, my staying here will only turn your advantage into a disadvantage. (To be continued.)
