The new dungeon route nailed by Zhou Qingfeng caused a sensation in the whole village. Adventurers from the tavern swarmed in just to get more detailed information.
Adrian was born in the market, and his words were vulgar and simple, but exciting. He himself even showed his own experience and talked about the benefits and benefits of following Zhou Qingfeng on the expedition.
In order to increase the persuasiveness, a 'Bloodstream Canyon Treasures Exhibition' was set up near the notice board. The skull of a Minotaur was the most attractive, as well as evil spirit dust, cannibal flower stalks, vampire fangs and so on.
These things are all of great value, and there are a lot of exclamations.
Just the "Bloodflow Canyon" makes Northland adventurers dazzle, and the emergence of "Silver Leaf City" is even more shocking.
Adrian continued to shout: "Your Excellency Hugo has discovered a safe route. As long as anyone purchases the service of Harmony Village, they can successfully reach the Jackal's Lair, go to the Bloodstream Canyon, enter the acidophilic ant nest, and explore the ruins of the underground city
.
I must warn you that the danger of 'Silver Leaf City' is far greater than that of 'Bloodflow Canyon'. There are not only various protective traps set by the elves in the past, a large number of secret treasure guards, and powerful resurrected undead. It is also a forbidden place for the elves and gods.
.
By the way, I would like to remind everyone that if you purchase the novice gift package, you will only be escorted to the Jackal's Lair. If you purchase the exclusive version, you can reach the Bloodstream Canyon. The VIP version can go to the acidophilic ant nest. As for the 'Silver Leaf City', you must have enough friendship in Harmony Village.
OK.
Without the guidance of our professionals in Harmony Village, entering the Black Forest rashly is definitely a dead end. But as long as you follow the basic exploration principles we have formulated, the ruins of 'Silver Leaf City' can make you rich!
Here, I would like to announce a piece of great news. As long as you purchase the adventure service of Harmony Village, we will recycle all the equipment and treasures you obtained during the adventure at a high price. The purchase price is definitely 20% higher than the market price.
Don't miss it if you pass by. Actions are not as important as money. This is an absolutely value-preserving service project. A one-time investment will provide lifelong returns, ensuring everyone's satisfaction.
Once again, we recycle the equipment of ‘Silver Leaf City’ at a high price. The transaction is absolutely fair and there is absolutely no falsehood. Please feel free to use krypton gold in our Harmony Village, because only krypton gold can make you stronger!”
Adrian's words made the adventurers blush, and there was an endless stream of generous donors. Rubio followed to collect the money, watching the gold coins come into the account, and the village's nearly exhausted capital flow was quickly replenished.
If you want to take risks, you have to buy equipment and medicine. This once again drives consumption in the village, strengthens the circulation of materials, and simply put - creates GDP.
Zhou Qingfeng finished nailing the notice board and ran to the village forge. Halfway through, he shouted: "Are the damn iron-making furnaces and wind-powered forging machines working? Whether I can make money depends on it."
Already."
He hurried to the forge, and the gray dwarf foreman who managed the place was walking out with a slumped head. Uncle Zhou felt cold and asked solemnly: "What happened again? Don't tell me, you have been struggling for so long and you haven't got it yet.
How about that forging machine?"
The gray dwarf blacksmith raised his head slightly, yawned, and said lazily: "Sir Hugo, you are back. The forging machine is very good. It can work for a day or two without making any mistakes. Everyone is very happy.
"
Zhou Qingfeng became even more unhappy, "Now that the forging machine is ready, what do you mean by looking depressed? Something happened at home? Or did you drink too little ale?"
The gray dwarf sighed: "I have been thinking about a certain philosophical issue these days - are dwarves who don't need to forge still dwarves? But no matter how much I forge iron, it can't compare to that forging machine? What should I do? I'm still alive.
What’s the point?”
Sure enough, he drank too little ale, and the dwarves learned to use their brains.
Entering the forging field, the crazy wind-driven forging machine can finally work stably. While continuously strengthening the strength of each component, the biggest secret to its success is... to make the forging hammer smaller.
When Uncle Zhou originally designed the machine, he had in mind those super-large forging machines with a forging capacity of tens of thousands of tons. When he thought about it, it was definitely too exaggerated to make tens of thousands of tons by himself, but if it was too small, it would be embarrassing.
At first, he thought of getting a 500-kilogram big forging hammer to get more strength. However, Uncle Zhou couldn't make such a large structural part, so he could only build a 50-kilogram one. In this way, he still felt aggrieved -
I have embarrassed myself as a time traveler.
But Uncle Zhou didn't know anything about material mechanics or structural mechanics, so he took it for granted and copied the design drawings. Just this fifty-kilogram forging hammer could fool a group of human and dwarf blacksmiths.
Everyone thought that the principle was good, but the reliability was not good. All the imaginable tricks were exhausted, and finally the blacksmiths were desperate. One apprentice said something - why not make the forging hammer smaller?
Wonderful!
The blacksmiths treated a dead horse as a doctor and reduced the weight of the forging hammer to 20 kilograms. This weight can even be picked up by ordinary people and hammered twice. No one dared to tell Zhou Qingfeng this change for fear of this ambitious man.
angry.
With this small change, the wind-powered forging machine finally stopped falling apart. Driven by the chain of the windmill, it could work non-stop, repeatedly forging red-hot bar iron.
Under the sputtering sparks is iron material whose quality is steadily improving.
The forging capacity is small, but at least it can work stably. In the past, high-quality steel that could only be produced by master blacksmiths hammering it repeatedly for several days is now flowing out from under the forging machine like sausages.
Although there are still problems such as carbon content, crystal structure, and heat treatment that need to be improved, this step taken by the Harmony Village Forging Ground is undoubtedly a big step forward in smelting technology.
This forging machine saves manpower and greatly reduces the technical requirements for blacksmiths. Ordinary apprentices can do the work of master blacksmiths in the past.
In order to get a high salary, the gray dwarf foreman worked hard to realize the forging machine envisioned by Zhou Qingfeng. When he first saw this machine, he thought that he must learn the essence of this thing and then bring this thing to his tribe.
With this kind of machinery, the gray dwarves who are good at forging will definitely gain the favor of the gods, thereby becoming more powerful and expanding their power. But now the foreman is extremely depressed and frightened.
A dwarf needs hundreds of years of training to be able to identify minerals, grasp the temperature of fire, control the strength, and accumulate rich experience to become a master blacksmith.
But after the wind-powered forging machine is built, any apprentice can forge high-quality iron materials. It does not take long, only a few days are enough - use iron tongs to turn the forgings over, remembering that they need to be forged
How many times, how hard is this?
"Are we dwarves going to be doomed in the future?" The gray dwarf foreman sat at the door of the forge and asked Zhou Qingfeng: "With this kind of machinery, who will ask us to forge? Can we still be blacksmiths?"
