Broad World

Chapter 178 Project Start

A large chunk of gum is thrown into a tong pan and heated slowly until the lump softens and melts. Henry picked up an ooze monster corpse and threw it in. The body of this monster is both strong and elastic, and after mixing with the gum, it quickly forms a large sticky jelly-like substance. He carefully stirred the magnetic stick, and soon a large amount of impurities were absorbed on it.

Henry took out the stick and washed it with clean water, then continued to stir, and repeated several times to remove the impurities inside. After completing the first process, he picked up the tong pan and poured it onto the iron plate prepared in advance, and began to squeeze it after cooling for a while. The viscous jelly-like substance was repeatedly crushed, and gradually turned into a large sheet of skin that was not thin.

In order to prevent this layer of rubber from being broken or sticky, Henry finally used a vulcanization process. The whole piece of rubber was thrown into the sulfurous steam, and it was some time before it was taken out again and set aside to dry. This piece of rubber must be left for at least one day before it can be tested for elasticity and sealing.

Henry didn't waste time waiting here, but went directly to the ground and asked Tenoben, the leader of the gray dwarves, to make a three-pronged glass container. The top of the glass container is all open, and the middle is used to add water. The two sides are energized separately, one is connected to the positive pole and the other is connected to the negative pole. The electric current splits the water into hydrogen and oxygen, which emerge from the top of each container. At that time, as long as the airtight iron tank is prepared to store the gas, it can be inflated after the airship is built.

After receiving the order, the gray dwarves got busy quickly. While melting a large amount of quartz sand as required, they began to build a strong and airtight gas storage tank. The entire No. 2 workshop was in full swing, and the sound of clanging and clanging could be heard endlessly. Henry handed the drawings to Tenoben and returned to the workshop alone. He still lacks a machine that can compress air into liquid.

Because ordinary mechanical air compressors are too complex, it is difficult to meet their demanding requirements with the world's technological level. Henry thought about it for a long time, but there was no good solution. In the end, he could only use the power of the mage tower to make a magic compressor in the shape of a jar. It can extract the energy in the element pool and squeeze the passing gas with powerful magic power. Although the consumption is a bit large, but fortunately the compression effect is still very good.

Henry patted the magic machine and said to himself, "It's finally finished. The only thing that needs to be done is the skeleton material. I hope that Cagan and his people can come up with a good solution as soon as possible."

"What skeleton? I saw that all the gray dwarves craftsmen are busy. Do you want to make a huge steel golem?" Debra walked in from the door.

Henry smiled and walked over to hug her. "I want to make a huge aircraft and use it to replace part of the ship. The monsters in the sea are too dangerous, and I don't want to experience a shipwreck. By the way, I heard Cortana say that you are making a magic item. How is it? Did you succeed?"

Debra smiled and took out a set of crystal clear gemstones from the neckline. "I refined Anthony's soul gem. Now this necklace is not only immune to immobilization spells, but also has a certain degree of magic resistance. But the soul inside seems to have gone crazy during the refining process, otherwise it should have some other special abilities."

Henry picked up the gemstone and performed a "discernment technique", and soon specific information came to mind.

Soul Pendant:

It's a magic talisman crafted from a soul gem, you can hear the crazed souls screaming inside, and no one with good intentions will wear it.

Equipment capacity:

Immune to all immobilization spells

Increases magic resistance by 5%

Equipped must be ** camp

"You really made a good magic item, but you'd better be careful not to be affected by Anthony's crazy soul. He is full of pain and hatred now. If this continues, he will become a powerful undead in a few decades. At that time, this necklace will become a cursed item." After speaking, Henry opened Debra's neckline and gently put the gem into it.

The female mage suddenly moved forward, and Henry's hand touched a soft object in an instant. He lowered his head and kissed her red lips fiercely, put his hands into the robe and began to kiss non-stop. Debra stretched out a hand and snapped her fingers, and the two of them were instantly teleported to her room. After more than an hour of passionate collision, they hugged each other tiredly and fell asleep.

It was almost noon the next day when he was awakened by Taring's voice. Cortana announced the news that Cagan and his clan had arrived, and they were now in the lobby on the first floor. Henry immediately got up from bed, quickly got dressed and ran downstairs. Debra watched him leave with a smile on her face, and then slowly walked into the bathroom naked and began to take a shower.

"Old friend, have you found any solution?" Henry asked loudly as soon as he reached the stairs.

Cagan laughed and pushed the other dwarf beside him. "Of course, let our casting master explain it to you. He has a special forging method that can smelt an alloy that is both light and tough."

The dwarf casting master bowed, and then began to talk eloquently about how to mix other metals and gems in the molten iron. This is not an ordinary smelting method, and it contains many rune skills unique to dwarves. Henry stood aside and listened with relish, this was the first time he knew of this enchanting method.

The casting master's explanation lasted for two and a half hours. While digesting the knowledge he had just acquired, Henry ordered the golem to start preparing lunch and fine wine. The delicious meals were quickly brought into the dining room, and the dwarves ate the food boldly, and poured all the dozens of bottles of fine wine into their stomachs.

While eating roast goose, Henry asked Cagan: "Since the material problem has been solved, let's start working as soon as possible. Just follow the drawings and process these alloys into individual skeletons. I will send people to bring these things over and dig a big pit here for assembly."

"No problem, as long as you can provide enough gems. You need to know that it costs at least several hundred diamonds to make such a big guy, and you need to buy some other rare metals." After speaking, the old dwarf burped contentedly.

Henry said to him with a smile: "These materials are in stock. When you leave later, go to the warehouse and tell the golem if you need anything. I can't wait to watch it fly into the sky. The time to go to and from the west coast will be greatly shortened, and the safety of people and goods will be fully guaranteed."

"Then what are you waiting for? When it comes to forging us dwarves, our whole body is full of strength." Cagan stood up and beckoned the others to walk towards the warehouse. Just as he was about to walk out of the restaurant, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "By the way, your bottles of wine taste very good. I wonder if you still have them in stock?"

Henry nodded dumbfounded. "There are still two full boxes, as long as you cast them fast enough, I can provide one box as a prize."

Cagan yelled at the dwarves behind him: "Did you hear that! There is still a case of the fine wine just now. Work harder when you work. If anyone dares to be lazy, I will kick his ass." His words caused the other dwarves to laugh, and they ran towards the warehouse while singing.

Henry watched the dwarf team leave with a large pile of gems and rare metals, and he went back to the workshop to test the elasticity and sealing of the rubber. He picked up the dried leather, first pulled it hard a few times, then poked it with a dagger, and finally found that it could be made into armor if it was thicker.

Now that there is no problem with the elasticity and firmness, the rest is the sealing test. He rolled up the whole piece of leather and glued it with special glue, then sealed one end of it and forcefully inflated it with gas. Put this gas-filled tube into the water, and after a long time, no bubbles came out. It seems that the airtightness is also completely qualified.

Henry threw the rubber tube in his hand aside and told Talling: "Cortana, get me a few apprentices to cook this rubber according to the steps. In addition, let the two dryads collect more gum around the forest. This material is simply amazing." After speaking, he walked towards the No. 2 workshop, and now he wanted to see if the gray dwarves were finished.

"Miss up! Be gentle with me, if you accidentally break the whole day, it will be wasted." Tenoben yelled at the craftsmen, and asked them to carefully lift the huge glass container aside. Although he didn't know what the use of this thing was, he made it with the best workmanship.

Henry saw the glass vessel as soon as he entered the door, and he shouted loudly to the gray dwarf leader: "Tenoben, carry this thing to the basement. Be careful to handle it with care, and assign a few other people to follow. I need to conduct an experiment."

The gray dwarf leader immediately ran over and bowed. "Master, I will follow your instructions immediately. In addition, four sealed metal gas storage tanks have been made. Do you want to move them down together?"

"Oh! Your work efficiency is really good. All the magical machines in workshop No. 1 have been moved to the basement. The gas storage tank will continue to be produced, and half of the manpower will be divided to dig a deep pit 400 meters long and 60 meters wide outside the mage tower. I will make a big flying guy there." After speaking, Henry took the glass vessel to the basement, where he was going to conduct electrolysis of water.

Tenoben clenched his fists excitedly when he heard such a huge amount of engineering work. He could already imagine how shocking it would be for such a huge object flying in the sky. You must know that after the end of the Netheril era, there will not be many huge man-made flying objects in the sky of the main material plane. (To be continued.)
