Arcane Lord

Soon, Xia Duo walked around the mithril mine in Leisen Territory, especially some typical mine caves, and collected the echo feedback data of the ore veins.

After leaving the mine, he visited the ore roughing workshop under the guidance of Pete and Stern. In fact, this was also an experience he had never experienced on Earth, and all of this made him feel very novel.

Of course, this does not mean that Xia Duo has no knowledge of ore smelting at all, but those more understandings exist in the form of text.

After visiting the ore roughing workshop, the mine manager Pete left first, and Stern continued to lead Xia Duo to continue the tour:

"Lord Xia Duo, next we will go to the newly built mithril smelting workshop in the territory!"

"Oh? Leisen Territory has built a mithril smelting workshop so?"

Hearing Stern say that the next stop is the mithril smelting workshop, Xia Duo immediately became interested. This is different from the general rough ore smelting workshop. Leisen Territory has it, and Savile Territory also has it.

The mithril smelting workshop mentioned by Stern is likely to be the first mithril smelting workshop in Netheril!

How can we miss it!

Shado did obtain mithril refining technology in [Projected Plane·Arcane Empire], and even the ritual spell [Element Extraction] used to refine high-quality mithril.

But at that time, he did not see the mithril refining workshop when he was in the projected plane, all of which were text materials.

From text materials to implementation, if it is a spell, then it is nothing, as long as the details of the spell are not lost, there will be no deviation.

But the refining method without magic participation, from technology to physical objects, at least there are two difficulties to overcome in engineering and technology.

Now such a mithril smelting workshop is in front of Shado, even if it does not involve purification, but only the rough refining of ore, even if this is just the technology provided by the Seventon Council, which is different from the Arcane Empire version.

It is also worth seeing!

...

Perhaps because the Seventon Council has unlocked and opened the mithril refining technology to the outside world, the mithril smelting workshop in the Leisen Territory is not placed in a secret place.

Such as in the wizard tower, or with some special protective magic.

Instead, it is not far from the mine, just within the support range of the wizard tower, without any additional protective measures.

Even the density of ordinary soldiers is not higher than that of the mine, and is even lower.

Because there are not a large number of dwarf slaves like the mines and rough smelting workshops visited before, most of the people working here are humans, and some dwarves.

Outside the workshop, from a distance, Xia Duo saw a gas column with a blue flame at the bottom rushing straight into the sky, and the scene behind the gas column was fragmented.

As he approached, he felt waves of heat coming continuously. It was only early spring, but it felt hotter than midsummer!

The weak elemental balance field brought by Xia Duo's [Crimson Shelter Robe] could not withstand such an "extreme" environment at all.

At this time, Stern began to introduce again:

"Lord Shado, this was originally a workshop for refining pure silver. It was just transformed into a mithril smelting workshop the day before yesterday. Because pure silver is used in the mithril smelting process, it was changed here."

"Pure silver?" Shado thought.

If the mithril refining technology released by the Seventon Council requires pure silver, then it is very likely to be the same as the version of the Arcane Empire.

"Yes, it is pure silver."

Stern replied, but did not explain more, and then stretched out his hand to guide inside, "Lord Shado, please come this way."

...

Following Stern's footsteps, Shado quickly toured the mithril smelting workshop that was transformed from a pure silver refining workshop.

The workshop does not cover a large area, about half the size of a football field, and most of it is occupied by pure silver refining facilities.

The only thing related to mithril smelting is a gray-black cylindrical smelting furnace in the corner of the workshop.

The structure of this smelting furnace is not complicated, but the design is quite exquisite. It is not like the smelting furnace for crude copper and silver that Xia Duo had just visited.

It is divided into three layers from top to bottom -

The bottom layer is the combustion layer, and the fuel is coal mixed with ruby ​​powder; the next layer is the reaction layer, which is made of pure gold inside, similar to a large pure gold cup.

Above the reaction layer is the energy gathering layer, and the opening gradually closes to gather heat.

Of course, there are openings on the sides of these three layers of structure, which are used to add fuel, mithril ore, and collect crude mithril agglomerates.

Xia Duo stopped in front of the smelting furnace for a long time, and saw with his own eyes that shovel after shovel of mithril ore was sent into the furnace through the opening on the side of the energy gathering layer.

He also saw pieces of mithril crude agglomerates being picked up by craftsmen from the molten metal liquid in the pure gold cup of the reaction layer.

After cooling, these crudely refined agglomerates are selected to remove the mithril ores that have not yet reacted completely and are thrown back into the smelting furnace through the opening of the energy-gathering layer. The rest should also be selected to remove impurities. Only the real mithril agglomerates will be collected for further refining.

…

Just seeing these processes, Xia Duo felt that he had gained a lot. The mithril refining technology of the Parliament version is indeed very similar to the Arcane Empire version.

Both use molten and boiling pure silver to infiltrate the mithril ore, dissolve the mithril in it, and generate [Silver·Mithril] agglomerates.

The key step is to keep the pure silver in a molten and boiling state for a long time, which requires extremely high temperatures.

The mithril refining technology that Shado obtained from the projection plane did not mention the specific plan for how to obtain this state, but only mentioned that this state was needed.

After all, the mithril refining technology he obtained was only a "popular science" version for students in the magic academy, not an engineering process plan for real industrial production.

Although Shado has not yet purchased the parliamentary version of mithril refining technology from the Seventon Council, it is conceivable that there must be no complete production process.

It should be just a simple introduction manual!

For specific implementation, the lord who bought the technology has to figure it out himself.

With the so-called "industrial strength" of Savile Territory, it is not enough to build a mithril smelting workshop. Apart from other things, the fuel alone is difficult to deal with.

Ruby powder can indeed be converted into fire elements at high temperatures to continue to increase the temperature, but the ratio is the secret of each family.

Even if you know the fuel ratio, it is not easy to open a furnace. First of all, you need more ore, otherwise it is not worth it.

As for ruby ​​powder, that's secondary. The smaller the gem, the lower the price. Netheril is not short of various gem powders. After all, many inks originally needed to add gem powder.

Even if there is one more use now, the price may not increase much.
