Banner of the Evil God

Sui Xiong is a very emotional person. Now that he has decided to make friends, he will no longer do things with a business attitude.

"Are you interested in taking a look at my factory?" He smiled and extended an invitation to the Rune God. "I just built it in the past few days."

Of course the God of Runes is interested. Mask of the Void has always been mysterious in its work, but it has never been without aim. To be so proudly introduced to others by Him, there must be something special about that "factory".

So they came to the newly built mineral processing plant and took a closer look.

"It's amazing!" The God of Runes was also a master of mining, smelting and forging before he became a god. He immediately saw the mystery of this factory. "Through this method, the best quality iron ore can be selected. In this way When the iron is smelted, the texture will definitely be very good!”

"That's right." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "Generally speaking, to make high-quality equipment, you need good steel, and of course you need high-quality iron ore. This requires the old man to make the iron before making it. Experienced miners and blacksmiths carefully select the best ore, and then they can get good iron and then forge good equipment. But through my mineral processing factory, the iron ore selected is definitely the best. It takes very little time - this is equivalent to having a group of top-notch ore dressing workers helping me screen the ores. When they come out of the furnace, they will definitely be the best steel!"

"Of course!" The Rune God nodded, his eyes bright, "The best steel comes from the best ore!"

"With all due respect, the texture of the ore in your Northwest Republic is still not good enough. Even if you use this method to screen, the final smelted iron should be a little brittle. You must find a way to process it again, right?" He smiled. Said, "But if we use this method to process the iron ore that our dwarves dig out from the depths of the Duanyun Mountains, then we will get the best ore in the world, and then smelt the best iron in the world!"

Sui Xiong was stunned. He had never paid attention to the texture of iron ore.

So he simply took the Rune God to find Palin and the others to learn more about the situation.

Sui Xiong and the Rune God did not hide their identities. When they learned that the dwarf god was visiting, and that he was the famous Rune God, Palin and the craftsmen were very excited, especially several dwarf craftsmen, who were even more excited. If there is wine nearby, I believe they will have a big drink to celebrate.

When the Rune God revealed his speculation, Palin and the craftsmen nodded in unanimous praise.

"You are absolutely right! In the past, the iron produced in our four towns was always a bit brittle, and the smelted iron this time was also the same. Later, we conducted small experiments and mixed various things into the molten iron, and finally determined a set of The solution to the problem. "Basically, just add several special ores in a certain proportion and let them melt in the molten iron to purify the molten iron and the resulting steel will not be brittle."

The God of Runes nodded slightly, but did not ask what kind of ore was used, and in what proportion and how it was added.

As a craftsman, He knew the rules and respected them. This set of technology was painstakingly researched by Palin and the others, and it was their secret recipe. If he wanted to get it, he should pay a sufficient price in exchange.

And he doesn't have to use this technology. The iron ore the dwarves get from the Broken Cloud Mountains is much better than the iron ore from the Ash Forest, so there is no need to remove impurities like this.

Then He visited the blast furnace smelting.

The selected highest-grade iron ore and various carefully calculated ingredients enter the blast furnace, which is then ignited and blasted. With the help of magic, the heat of the coke was fully utilized, and the temperature of the furnace soon rose to extremely high levels.

The furnace wall can block the eyes of mortals, so that Palin and others can only use magic to observe the situation inside the furnace, but Sui Xiong and the Rune God can directly see the situation inside the furnace. They watched the iron ore gradually melt, and the impurities combined with the ingredients turned into foamy and hollow slag, floating on the molten iron.

Whenever a certain amount of this slag accumulates, Palin and his friends will dump it out. Naturally, some molten iron is lost in the process, but every time the slag is removed, the molten iron becomes purer.

Finally, when Palin and the others determined that the situation was suitable, they stopped heating and poured the pure enough molten iron into the prepared tank. The fiery red molten iron quickly cooled down and turned into dark red hot steel, which finally became Slightly rough steel plate.

This kind of steel plate needs to be polished smooth before it can be stamped. In order to demonstrate to the Rune God, Palin and the others directly used pre-polished steel plates.

The solid steel plate was firmly stuck on the base, and then the water flow drove the chain, slowly raising the weight, and finally fell heavily.

After a loud bang, the steel plate turned into the main body of the breastplate.

"...So that's it!" Seeing this, the God of Runes fully understood, "In terms of technology, it's actually not that difficult to learn, but this kind of thinking, this kind of idea, is the most precious!"

He asked curiously: "Who invented this method of using water flow to lift a heavy hammer, and finally relying on stamping to directly turn the steel plate into a piece of armor?"

"Of course His Majesty Mask of the Void." Palin replied.

The Rune God smiled slightly, but was not particularly surprised.

No matter what Void Mask does, he will not be surprised.

And... after seeing the wonderful ore dressing factory just now, He has determined that Sui Xiong is a master craftsman. A master craftsman who can invent ore dressing machines and invent hydraulic presses, what's so strange about that?

The main body of the breastplate is naturally the armor plates on the front and back of the chest, and the matching shoulder guards are also stamped by hydraulic presses-but this cannot be done today, because the hydraulic press needs to be specially adjusted every time it stamps different armor plates.

Palin and his team usually adjust the hydraulic press every few days and produce many armor plates at a time. Those with good quality are left to be assembled into armor, and those with poor quality are sent to another smaller blast furnace for heating, remelting into molten iron, and then processed into steel plates again.

This is already a complete process, and Sui Xiong has no intention of destroying it.

After visiting the hydraulic press stamping armor plates, they finally came to the workshop for assembling armor. There are several old craftsmen and some young people busy here. There are already a lot of armor plates and other materials waiting to be assembled, and there are also some finished products.

Each of these finished products was just like what Sui Xiong had seen before, gray and extremely plain, but the neatly arranged pieces of armor naturally gave off a chill that made people feel respect.

"National treasure!" The God of Runes looked at the neatly arranged pieces of armor, then looked back at the series of blast furnaces and factories, and couldn't help but praise, "This is the real national treasure!"
