Martial arts masters in the wizarding world
Chapter 80 Forging
Byron looked at the twenty sets of armor in front of him. A small amount of mithril had been infiltrated into them, and the dark metal outer surface had a slightly shiny feel.
This precious metal does not need to be doped too much, just a little bit can greatly improve the toughness of the armor.
It will be more difficult for soldiers to break through the defense of alloy armor using weapons of the same strength and sharpness.
"How can we improve the efficiency of forging so that the territory can produce more mithril ingots?"
Byron asked Comran that the current output of fifty yuan a month was still too little.
He hopes to produce more mithril ingots, which will bring more wealth growth to the territory.
You must know that the underground Mithril vein reserves are very rich. According to the current mining speed, even if it is mined for another fifty years, it may not be possible to dig them all out.
"Lord Baron, if I can have more advanced smelting tools or train more forging workers, I can greatly increase production."
"But the blueprints for such advanced tools are generally only owned by nobles who have inherited them from ancient times."
"As for training workers, I have already started to select young and strong young men. I believe that it won't be long before I can train a group of junior forging workers."
Comran cherishes the job that Byron gave him very much. You must know that his dream is to become a master blacksmith, which requires strong financial support. Otherwise, he would not have the opportunity to come into contact with rare metals and forge and smelt them.
"Very well, Komlan, if you can double the production of mithril ingots, I will appoint you as the great craftsman of the territory."
"If you can reform the smelting technology and create more military equipment, I will make you an honorary knight."
Byron fully demonstrated his generosity as a lord. As long as he works hard, he will never be treated badly.
When Comran heard the lord's words, his mouth gradually opened. He couldn't believe that this promise was true. Is the title really so easy to obtain?
You must know that his ancestors have been engaged in blacksmithing for generations, and he has never been awarded a knight. In the eyes of the nobles, this is just an industry for the humble.
Although those blacksmith masters are indeed sought-after figures and are regarded as guests by many nobles. But in people's inherent concepts, the status of ordinary craftsmen is indeed not high.
The nobles may spend a lot of wealth to hire craftsmen, but it is rare to hear that a craftsman is granted the title of baron or earl because of his superb skills. Most of the manufacturing industry is still a vassal of force and power.
"Why don't you thank me, Lord Baron?"
Robert reminded from the side that even he felt a little lucky for Comran.
This is luck and opportunity. You have to know how many talented people have been buried because they have no opportunities. Under the obstacles of class barriers, it is not easy to realize personal value by relying on your own abilities.
A thousand-mile horse always exists, but a bole does not always exist.
There are many powerful people in this world, but often due to the different environments and situations they face, their development is not even as good as those who are not as powerful as them.
Although Komlan's forging skills are considered superb, he is definitely not a master craftsman.
But Byron was prepared to train him into a skilled craftsman.
You know, as long as there are enough resources and the talent is about the same, no talent can grow.
"Thank you Baron, I...I!"
Comran's tone was so excited that he seemed a little incoherent.
"Well, find a way to increase the production of mithril ingots as soon as possible."
Byron nodded, inspected the construction of the forging area, and then left.
Nowadays, the infrastructure in the forging area has been almost completed, but a large number of houses are still vacant, which are reserved for future forging workshops.
Xiboerland now has three workshops for mithril forging, steel forging, and copper forging, which are specialized in producing mithril ingots, steel ingots, and copper ingots.
In addition, there is a primary furnace and an intermediate furnace in the territory. The primary furnace can smelt ordinary metals, and the cost is not high, about a few hundred gold coins.
The intermediate furnace can smelt some rare metals, and it is quite expensive to build, costing Byron thousands of gold coins.
But if you want to smelt mithril, you must build an intermediate furnace. Only this kind of carefully designed furnace can stably produce high temperatures of thousands of degrees.
Next, Byron plans to improve the territory's capabilities in the mass production of standard armaments and the creation of extraordinary equipment, but there are still great difficulties in completing this aspect of construction.
The technical content of the previous point is not high. It only requires sufficient resources, manpower, equipment, and drawings in place. It will soon be possible to implement assembly line operations and continuously produce equipment that can be used by the army.
But the latter point is more difficult to achieve. If you want to create special and powerful equipment, you must be a master of extremely high craftsmanship. The skills of these forgers must reach the level of true craftsmen.

This is much more complicated than smelting copper ore. Craftsmen must be familiar with the properties of various minerals and know how to process these materials. To smelt different properties together, this may involve the use of many special materials.
Generally speaking, extraordinary craftsmen are more likely to create powerful weapons because they can use extraordinary powers to more fully understand the properties of materials and process them.
Not to mention anything else, just by beating and shaping the materials, the strength possessed by a first-order knight allows them to easily handle extremely hard minerals.
As for the wizards, there are many masters of creation among them. Their strong spiritual power gives them great advantages in various manufacturing industries. A large number of magical items are manufactured by wizards.
However, mortals also have the advantage of mortals, that is, they have a large base and a long inheritance. They can rely on the wisdom of everyone to find a way to survive that is suitable for mortals.
In this world, there are also many artifacts made by mortals. Although it takes almost a person's lifetime efforts to create just one, the existence of these artifacts undoubtedly demonstrates the wisdom of ordinary people.
Of course, the ordinary here only refers to the ordinary in terms of their bloodline and strength. These "ordinary people" can be called legends in their industry. Legends among mortals are not ordinary at all.
Whether it's the "Gear of Dusk", the legendary god-killing weapon, or the "Wrath of the Stars" long bow that can shoot through the sky, or the "Eternal Shield" that can resist the protection of meteors.
According to the records in the secret scroll, these artifacts were all born in the hands of mortals, although the birth of these weapons must also have the indispensable destiny of heroes.
But it can be seen that this world has not completely abandoned mortals. Even if it seems that only extraordinary people can reach the top of the world, mortals can also write profound history and immortal achievements with their own lives.
