Chapter 17 Disaster Dolls (1)
Ge Zheng was going to work hard for a few days to complete the goods. Refining these weapons does not require the Dragon Ice Room to create a sensational effect of anti-aircraft cannons hitting mosquitoes. It only takes Ge Zheng’s previous laboratory to do it.
Ge Zheng left Cummins to look at the store and took Dunk out for purchases. He first went to the Horns Alchemy Materials Store in the North City Gate, purchased a large number of alchemy raw materials, and then rushed to the Dwarf City-State Weapon Store. After bargaining with Feore, he bought 120 exquisite weapons.
Ge Zheng and Dunke returned with a full load, but saw Cummins burying his head on the counter in the empty shop. "Cummins, what are you doing?" Ge Zheng asked.
Cummins raised his head from a pile of papyrus: "Sir, this cook is not a piece of entourage at all. He remembers that the accounts are messy and they are too unqualified." Honest Dunker blushed. He was not smart. It was indeed a bit difficult for him to keep accounts.
Ge Zheng frowned. Cummins was always running the honest Dunker, and he was a little unhappy. He took Cummins' new account book and said: "Let me see how you remember it."
This look made Ge Zheng stunned: Cummins's account books were written one by one, remembering them clearly. The accounts were organized and neat and of extremely high standards, which was indeed much clearer than Dunk.
On the earth, three-legged toads are difficult to find, and accounting accounts are all over the ground. However, in this world, mathematics has not even formed a discipline, so it is not easy to find a housekeeper who knows how to manage accounts.
When Dunke saw it, he hurriedly said, "You will keep the accounts in the future." Ge Zheng did not object, so the Gemen Alchemy Store had a division of labor since then. Ge Zheng was responsible for making products, Dunke was responsible for entertaining guests, and Cummins was responsible for accounting and collection of payments.
"Sir, someone has come to find you." Cummins said. Ge Zheng was stunned. He had been there for a year, but why did someone come to him just after he came back? Cummins took out two bamboo tubes from under the counter. They were made of old bamboo tubes, the same as the thick arm of a strong man. One bamboo tube was filled with papyrus rolls, and the other was filled with gold coins.
When Ge Zheng saw it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: Who else can besides the mysterious person who wants to answer the alchemy questions by himself?
But he knew just after he returned to Wangshan City, which showed how clever his eyes and ears were.
...
Fortunately, there is no need to use the Dragon Ice Room to refine these magic weapons, otherwise such a large sacred dragon, Ge Zheng could only go to the Liusu Mountains outside the city to refine them.
After two nights, the shelves in the store became full. Ge Zheng finally had time to answer those questions. He left for more than half a year and saved more than a hundred questions.
He spread out the papyrus, looked at the question, frowned and thought for a while, lifted up the quill and started answering.
"Da" another drop of ink fell on the paper, splashing a beautiful little flower. The passage of text Ge Zheng had just written was immediately blurred. He looked at the quill in his hand with some anger and threw it into the trash can.
This problem has troubled Ge Zheng for a long time. Ink dots can often be seen on papyrus manuscripts. Although it has become very light after processing, such writing tools are really backward.
Pen, I need a pen. Ge Zheng touched his chin and thought. But he is not God. Just say "There is light" and there will be light. He said "I need a pen". The pen will not appear without even a little appearance fee.
Fortunately, Ge Zheng is an alchemist and can get whatever he needs by himself.
Ge Zheng had used the pen in the mountain gate before. When he first got it, his brothers and brothers thought it was amazing and dismantled it one after another. After dismantling it, they felt that this thing was actually nothing great. With the level of Ge Gate, any disciple could make it.
Simply put, a pen is divided into a pen sleeve, a pen tip, a pen tongue, a capillary structure, an ink guide tube, and an ink gallbladder. It can also be added with a bile protector, which is the spring sheet used to absorb ink and the silver-white iron tube outside it.
It is naturally not difficult to process, but the tip of the pen needs to be made of an alloy and polished smoothly. The capillary structure is very important. The pen can be written and the ink flows smoothly to the tip of the pen. This is to use this part to utilize the principle of siphon action, so this part must be careful.
Ink gallbladder is a difficult problem. There is no rubber in this world, but this is not a problem for Ge Zheng.
There are three types of pen tips: steel pen tip, iridium pen tip, and gold pen tip. The 18K gold pen tip is of course the best, and this kind of pen tip is also the most expensive on earth. Not only is it smooth to write, but the pen tip has a moderate softness and hardness, and the feel is the best.
I have ready-made raw materials on hand, and the gold content of 18K gold is 75%. Ge Zheng picked up the ratio, three-quarters of gold and one-quarter of iridium.
The alloy was melted in the fusion furnace, and the gold and water were poured out. The Yunhua water curtain fell from the sky, and the ice blocks sealed the small pen tips. A pen tip didn't use much gold and water, so Ge Zheng simply made a few more pieces, and a furnace of gold and water, and made a thick embryo of ten pen tips.
Of course, such a pen tip cannot be used directly, and it must be polished. If you want to make it more exquisite, you need to carve patterns on the pen tip, or even embed materials such as platinum wire into the pattern for decoration.
Ge Zheng has unique experience in polishing, and the magic blowing method can also be used to polish. First, use a special method to fire a large number of ceramic particles smaller than sand particles, and then put the tip of the pen and a large number of ceramic particles in an iron cylinder. Under the action of wind magic, the ceramic particles in the iron cylinder continue to rotate, grinding the tip of the pen to an extremely smooth one.
As for the tip of the pen, there was no way to take advantage of this thing. He found a magic crystal stone and used the magic crystal stone to polish the tip of the pen. When he was in Gemen, everyone used inferior jade to polish the tip of the pen, but there was no jade in this world, so he could only use magic crystal stone to make up for it.
While polishing, he dipped in ink and felt the feel. This is a slow and meticulous job. It took him half a day to polish a pen tip.
Leave the remaining pen tips to deal with them later, Ge Zheng was eager to create a fountain pen to meet his writing needs.
