Zhao Ran completed the "inspection" of Taixuan Pavilion while Yang Cuxin and Rong Niang were laughing and playing. After the inspection, he felt a little excited because he found that he had been worried and had prepared for long-term hardships.
Many difficulties in the mental preparation of "fighting hard" are not problems at all.
For example, how to achieve large-scale refining of special effect steel has always been a difficult problem in Zhao Ran's mind.
Institutional transformation, but when he arrived at Taixuan Pavilion, he no longer needed to consider this issue.
In a grotto, Zhao Ran witnessed a Taoist demonstration by Yang Cunzhen: at Rong Niang's request, she opened a half-person-high alchemy furnace and connected it to the Sun Cave Abyss at the foot of Jiuxian Grottoes where Taixuan Pavilion is located.
Fire - Use a magic circle to draw it from a hundred feet deep at the bottom of the mountain, throw more than 30 kilograms of ore into it, then close your eyes and make a seal to control the fire.
Through the window of the alchemy furnace, Zhao Ran witnessed the whole process of the iron ore flying around in the flames and melting into a ball of bright orange molten iron. Under the control of Yang Cunxin's fingers, the ore was like dough.
It is usually rubbed around, and the various waste impurities contained in it fall one after another, and are sent into the ground along a slope.
In a dazzling sequence of controls, Yang Cunxin introduced other types of minerals into the alchemy furnace, such as dolomitic soil, red gold stone, mercury silver, etc., as well as Rong Niang’s special introduction to the unique spiritual mineral produced in Yuanzhou—
—Jindan powder.
Half an hour later, a square, red iron embryo was shaped and hovered in the center of the alchemy furnace. The slag and waste gas generated during the refining process were introduced into the ground by the magic circle. According to Rong Niang,
According to the theory, it was sent down to serve as fuel for the abyssal fire in the Sun Cave.
Yang Cunxin closed the Sun Cave Abyss Fire and let the iron embryo float and cool. At the same time, he said to Zhao Ran: "The piece of fine steel refined today has relatively strong toughness and is suitable for carving runes, so it is also called rune steel. Many
They are all used in magic weapons, Qi Fu Pavilion purchases them in large quantities, and they collect as much as they have."
Zhao Ran asked: "How much silver?"
Yang Cunxin replied: "One pound of steel is one tael of silver. This piece of rune steel is about fifteen pounds, fifteen taels. Do you think this silver is easy to earn? In fact, it takes a lot of work. First, you have to go to the seven bars next to it.
When we dig ore in Baoshan, we have to prepare various ingredients after we come back, which takes almost half a day. Usually, one of us can only refine one piece a day, not necessarily every day."
Zhao Ran quickly calculated that if Yang Cunxin refined it once a day, then the annual output of this alchemy furnace would be approximately 5,000 kilograms.
"How many fire eyes and pill furnaces like this are there in Taixuan Pavilion?"
"There are many fire eyes, but some are closed and are not needed. There are twelve fire eyes equipped with the alchemy furnace."
In other words, assuming that Yang Cuxin is used as a standard output, Taixuan Hall can produce 60,000 kilograms of special-effect steel per year. Of course, with only a standard output, the production capacity is really too busy. Zhao Ran believes that after overall planning and coordination, Taixuan Hall can produce 60,000 kilograms of special-effect steel.
The museum’s production capacity can be expanded ten times!
Zhao Ran told Yang Cuxin the requirements for the stay cable and keel, and Yang Cuxin immediately said: "Just use rune steel. It has enough toughness and can keep pulling."
Zhao Ran asked about other types of special effect steel, and Yang Cunxin told him that Taixuan Hall can also refine more than ten kinds of extremely hard Xuanying stainless steel, high-temperature-resistant Yuanmang stainless steel, cold-resistant Shuangyue stainless steel, etc.
All fine steel has the same price: one tael of silver per pound.
For the monks of Taixuan Pavilion, there is endless ore to be mined in the Qibao Mountain next to it, there is endless firepower under the Black Stone Mountain, and the various ingredients and mineral materials needed in the surrounding area are also extremely abundant. When refining refined steel, there is basically nothing in terms of consumables.
The cost is one tael of silver per catty, which is basically equivalent to a net profit.
At this point, the molten iron was gradually showing its original color. Yang Cuxin opened a small door on the wall of the grotto, and inside was an ice cellar. As soon as she changed her method, the steel blocks in the alchemy furnace immediately flew into the ice cellar, causing a burst of smoke to evaporate.
.This is the quenching process to finalize the shape of the steel block and increase the hardness and strength.
Zhao Ran wanted to know how strong the pulling force of this piece of rune steel was, and asked: "Can it pull a thousand stones?"
Yang Cunxin had never calculated this number. The data she gave was that if the shape of the cable stay given by Zhao Ran was followed, the rune fine steel cable could withstand ten Jindan monks pulling at the same time.
Zhao Ran suggested that if he wanted to calculate the conversion relationship between units of measurement, could he ask Taixuan Pavilion to help him? Yang Cuxin was also very interested in this, so he found ten golden elixirs and tested them one by one, asking them not to use Taoism.
Only pour mana into one arm, and then hold up the silver with one hand.
The first Jindan monk who came forward, Zhao Ran, threw a silver box in his hand. It weighed ten thousand taels. When he added the second one, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he reduced it a little and measured thirteen thousand taels.
One thousand seven hundred taels.
Zhao Ran continued to test the second one and was able to lift 11,600 taels...
Until the tenth time, Zhao Ran calculated an average value of fourteen thousand eight hundred and thirty-two taels. So he erased the fraction and relied only on the mana in the sea of air without using magic.
A hand that can lift twelve thousand taels is the power of a standard golden elixir, which is about the power of six stones.
Zhao Ran's experiment aroused strong interest among the monks of Taixuan Pavilion. Zhao Ran then calculated an average mana value for the ten great mages in the pavilion, which was approximately equal to the power of three standard golden elixirs.
Then he invited five refiners from Taixuan Pavilion, which was approximately equal to the power of three great mages.
Yang Cunzhen went to the back mountain to look for the great master alchemist, and the data he got was about three point nine master alchemists. Because there were too few samples, there were only two, so the data was slightly larger, but it can also be seen from this that it is probably still the same.
He was destined to be with San, so it was directly recorded by Zhao Ran as the power of twenty-seven standard golden elixirs.
When calculating Huangguan, the sample size was relatively large and the data was more accurate. It was found that compared with Jindan, it was more consistent with a three-fold relationship.
Zhao Ran asked Yang Cunxin to refine this fifteen kilogram piece of rune-stained steel into a long rope. In fact, this cannot be said to be refining, it can only be said to be reshaping, which is very simple.
After the shaping was completed, Zhao Ran asked the two great masters of Taixuan Pavilion to pull the cable as hard as they could. It turned out that the two masters were completely unable to destroy the cable stay without using Taoism. This showed that
, the cable stay made of rune stainless steel can withstand a tensile force of more than three hundred stones.
The next step was to place an order. Zhao Ran came up with a big number: 100,000 catties of rune steel! He placed the order on the spot and paid a deposit of 20,000 taels.
This order, which requires all the monks from Taixuan Pavilion, shocked Yang Cuxin and even the two great refiners. When discussing the delivery date, Zhao Ran said: "I hope to deliver this order within three months. In addition, I
I would like to ask, how to solve the anti-corrosion problem of rune stainless steel?"
