Lu Chen's words made the four guys almost squirt out of the wine, but fortunately, several of them had experienced a lot of storms, and after looking at each other, it was Farnes who spoke: "Bringing down a big family like Skinner can't just blacken their money or rob their business." The former one seems unlikely, they control the armament production of the Finaixiu Kingdom, and the kingdom will not sit idly by and watch them finish, you came to this short boy, obviously for the second one, but with him alone, no matter how bad the equipment is, it is impossible to mass-produce it, do you plan to ask the entire dwarf clan for help through him?"
Lu Chen didn't care about Faennes saying the key to the matter at once, a greedy old man like him who could get good things casually would understand that it was normal for him to understand the details.
"Of course not, how could I have beaten the attention of the dwarves without the sea power on display. No matter how shocked the four of them were when they heard his words, after looking around, Lu Chen casually took a scrapped Mozi, and then continued: "What I am counting on is this, as long as you can make a mold base that can be used repeatedly, there is no need for a large number of blacksmiths to produce standard equipment, and that can also greatly save costs." ”
"This ......" The four of them were a little dumbfounded, they had been dealing with weapons and equipment all their lives, three users, one dwarf who only pursued the best, no one had ever thought about such a thing.
After a while, O'Brig, who is a professional blacksmith, spoke first: "It's unlikely, to make ordinary equipment, you can also use high-grade materials to make mold bases, but that's too wasteful, and you still have to have so many high-grade materials, and then count the wear, it's really too cost-effective." ”
"Cut, you think it's an artifact, the little guy's method is completely feasible, it's just to build equipment for the army, and the mold base made of high-grade materials can almost ignore the loss, but this material is not easy to find, even if it is the most produced steel, it is difficult to imagine the number of mold embryos that can swallow the output of the Skinner family. Faennes retorted.
This remark silenced everyone, everyone knows that the method is a good method, and those who are familiar with the creation can imagine how easy it will be to build ordinary equipment after such a mold is made, but the price is not solved with high costs.
Looking at the scrapped mold base in his hand, Lu Chen suddenly thought of those low-cost disposable items on the earth, and asked tentatively: "Master Orb, what is the price of this mold base? What kind of material is it made of? Is it inconvenient to produce?"
didn't figure out why the other party cared about this, O'Brig replied directly: "This kind of mold base is fired by masons, the difficulty of production is based on the modeling and building requirements, the single price is quite cheap, but there are many quantities, the cost is still very expensive, the important thing is that although this is also a craft, it is not as high as the status of blacksmiths, and there are not many people who learn, so it is impossible to find the number of people who meet your mass production needs." ”
Orb was not brainless, and after a brief explanation, he told Lu Chen that it was also not feasible, but then he saw Lu Xien and Faens laughing, and even Evan, who was about his age, thought thoughtfully.
"Hehe, you kid, it's really not bad, you can think of it, how does your head grow?" Faenns praised Lu Chen with exaggerated words.
"It's nothing, it's not much different from doing other things, if it doesn't work directly, just do it indirectly. Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said as a matter of course.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. "O'Brig, who only has an artifact in his head, has an opinion.
"Then give me a bottle of your wine, no, half a bottle, and I'll sue you, how about it?"
"You don't have to dream, Evan, you say, or you'll just give you the dragon teeth that Lucien promised you, and you can find someone to build it yourself. "O'Brig shamelessly bullied the most honest people here.
"Uh~ Master Orb, you can't do this. Evan looked at the others with a sad face to ask for help, he didn't dare to offend any of the people here, until Lu Chen smiled and relieved him, then he explained a little fearfully: "I don't know if my idea is right, that is, use better materials to make this kind of stone and soil mold base first, and then produce stone and soil mold base in large quantities, and then use it to make equipment; After saying that, Evan also secretly glanced at the big boss Faennes.
"What a mess, mold base of mold base...... Yes, why didn't I think of it, it's just equipment for the army, and this disposable stone and soil mold base is enough. It dawned on Aubreg.
"I've long said that a blacksmith who wants to make artifacts is not a good blacksmith. Faennes taunted Orb and said to Lu Chen: "Since the method is done, then I will help you find the remaining masons, anyway, it shouldn't take too much, as long as you can be responsible for inspecting the firing process, isn't it?"
"This~ Okay, then I'll thank you in advance, old man, if there's anything useful to me, just say it, I'll do my best. Lu Chen didn't talk nonsense, it was much more convenient for Faens to find someone than for them to pull people by themselves, at least it wouldn't let the Skinner family draw any conclusions from their own actions, and he could guess that Faens would have something to ask for.
"Ha, okay, it's refreshing enough, then I'll be blunt, I also have a small team, I want to make some money to spend, but you don't have to worry that I won't have a conflict with you in the Finaixiu Kingdom, you don't mind giving me a piece of the pie." Faennes also avoided saying anything directly, but added before Lu Chen nodded: "Wait, it also includes Edwin's things, you have to think about it." Of course, I won't let you lose too much, how about I share 10% of the profits outside?"
"This is obviously a monopoly with oneself. Lu Chen's eyes rolled for a moment, and he smiled gratefully and nodded in agreement. Although a percent profit seems to be a little less, but it is world-wide, it is definitely an immeasurable large amount, and even if the other party does not give, it is okay to secretly monopolize the outside market share, and now I don't have to pay a penny or make a contribution, just a few words can get such a share, and those who are already friends can no longer be friends. As for Edwin's method of producing silk items, Lu Chen said that he had agreed to him first, and he would not say how to make zuò, and they would negotiate it themselves.
Faennes was very satisfied with Lu Chen's promise and refusal, in fact, he and Edwin had already agreed on the matter of silk equipment, and it was purely a temptation to put it here. If Lu Chen said that the cooperation between the two parties in the future, Faens will definitely have to pay more attention, the most feared thing about business cooperation is the problem of trust, but it is not a bad thing to be able to get a simple method of making silk items; otherwise, there is nothing to worry about, there is still more time in the future, and he believes that there will definitely be better cooperation between the two sides.
"Then the blacksmith's business can only be mine. O'Brig said very self-awarely: "I don't have many people here, when you start work, just take them away, just be in charge of supervision, it should be no problem." ”
"Thanks, Orb...... Friend. Looking at Aubreg's eyes, Lu Chen, who wanted to call him a master, could only change his words, then took out a piece of silver ore, handed it over and said, "Okay, there is a matter on my mind, so please solve the next one together." ”
"Why are there so many things about your kid, really, isn't this just the slag ore left after the burning of a flint, although there are very few in the world, and not many people know about it, but there is nothing worth studying. Old Tek, who had been drinking, finally spoke.
The other three looked at Lu Chen, waiting for him to continue the question, he had many experiences, and no one dared to underestimate this newly adult child.
"Khan, slag ore, what a fitting name. Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, Lu Chen, who was sweating in his heart, could only scratch his head and said a little embarrassed: "It's the first time I've heard of it, and I originally thought it was something good...... But as far as I know, all ores have their own characteristics, and the ore that accompanies flint mines shouldn't really be waste, right?"
"Features, as far as we know, this metal is difficult to dissolve, the toughness is very high, not hard enough, it doesn't have much defense when made into any equipment, even if it is made into a bowl, it is easy to deform, and the penetration of fighting energy and magic is slightly better than other metals, but it is not as good as the material of any staff, and it is almost useless in general. As an expert, Orb said what he knew.
"Uh~ It sounds really useless, have you tried to fuse with other metals?" Lu Chen asked unrelentingly.
"This was tried before, but it was difficult to dissolve and could not be incorporated into other metals, so it was not done. ”
"Has anyone ever tried throwing it directly into the melted molten metal?"
"Uh~ It seems that no one has tried this, so what's the use of throwing such a lump into it?" Orb asked suspiciously, but the instinct of striking iron made him take this piece of slag ore, and as Lu Chen asked, he found a special stone bucket containing a steel liquid that had just been dissolved and threw it in.
Everyone else also gathered around curiously, wondering what the result would be from Lu Chen's strange opinion.
Everyone resisted the heat and watched patiently, and it didn't take long for O'Brig to be amazed, and then everyone saw that the slag ore, which had a sharp corner in the barrel, was completely covered by liquid steel, indicating that it was indeed melting, and the degree was faster than ordinary metal, which was really amazing for it to have not changed in the slightest in the combustion of flint mines.
O'Brig hurriedly used his fighting spirit to ignite the furnace fire, increasing the temperature of the liquid steel so that it could melt and fuse the slag ore faster, and he couldn't wait to see the final result.
Lu Chen didn't stop, such a novelty made him curious to release his consciousness to investigate the changes, and it was very interesting to see that the fighting qi that catalyzed the high-temperature fire also had an effect on the slag mine, and the dissolved slag ore was flowing in the liquid steel disorderly with the fighting qi.
As soon as the inspiration moved, Lu Chen immediately shouted: "Quickly stir these liquids with your fighting energy." ”
Evan didn't think about it, and immediately released his fighting spirit and did what Lu Chen said, no matter what the effect of doing this would be, anyway, he was the youngest here, and it was impossible for his big boss and big brother to do it.
Needless to say, everyone could see that there would be another surprise this time, everyone waited nervously, and when Lu Chen said to stop, Orb immediately took out the remaining slag ore with tools, and then hurriedly used these mixed metals to forge a sword.
Poured into the mold base to cool, there was no need to take the hammer and hit it repeatedly, but after opening it with the seventh-order fighting spirit, a one-handed sword with an ordinary appearance but hidden edge was completed.
Took out the long sword that he had taken from the seventh-order swordsman of the Skinner family last time from the spatial ring and handed it to Faens, and the old man didn't care about the huge gap above, and as soon as he raised his hand, he unceremoniously slashed at the dwarven master who was really appreciating the work;
After a "ding" sound, everyone gathered around to check the results.
"How?"
"This is also a good sword made of all stainless steel, and the big gap on the little guy should be caused by the meteorite sword...... Is it Verona's opponent's sword?" Aubreg didn't answer, instead asking about the origin of the original scars on the sword.
"Hehe, I can't hide this from you, but now is it time to determine the other aspects of this new sword. Looking at the new sword that was intact, and the old sword that collapsed into a small mouth, Lu Chen was extremely satisfied with this alloy in his heart.
"No, I have already felt the particularity of this material, not only has the original material been upgraded to a higher level, but the fusion of fighting spirit and magic is also many times higher than that of normal materials, it is simply a metal strengthener. O'Brig made his assessment.
"Oh, can the sword we want be strengthened as well?" said Faense at once concerned about his weapon.
"Uh~ Why do you spoil my interest every time you open your mouth? The strengthening of the Dragon Tooth Sword is relatively limited, it is not metal, even if the surface coating is stainless steel, and the blade is all made of meteoric iron, the effect of this material is not great. O'Brig frowned, very dissatisfied with Faennes, and then said with a little revenge: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, while Lucien is also again, everyone will work harder, and strive to finish all the polished dragon teeth today, lest you old guys rub my food again." Saying that, like an evil old social foreman, he waved the sword in his hand and "spurred" the three "old slaves".
