Chapter 34 I'll mess with you from now on!
As mentioned before, Plandal has no unified weights and measures. Every race and every place has its own set of weights and measures.
Edgar alone knows that there are at least three types.
Edgar knew the result of inconsistent weights and measures, and was very confused, and he had to re-familiarize every time he went to a place.
And above this, there is no available reference system.
Not to mention the balances or something, there is not even the simplest ruler.
So one of the key factors in evaluating whether a blacksmith is a good blacksmith, that is, whether this blacksmith can make weapons handy.
What is to be a competing person?
It means that the size meets the employer's requirements.
However, the result of not having an accurate measurement tool is that this size depends on the experience of the blacksmith.
And now, Tang En came up with such a simple tool to solve this problem.
If this ruler is combined with the three views mentioned by Tang En, the effect will not be that simple, but a huge change!
"I understand...I understand!"
Brian widened his eyes: "Big brother! You solved a big problem!"
Tang En waved his hand very modestly: "Lucky by luck..."
Brian's mouth twitched, and he felt that Tang En's expression was very ungrateful!
After knowing the function of the meter ruler, Brian certainly knew what the big problem Tang En mentioned, so the three of them began to resize.
"Slice a little more over there... By the way, big brother, let's discuss it. Do you still have Aojin? Get some for me?"
"Give."
Without saying a word, Tangen took out an Aujin ingot from the package and threw it to Brian.
Then Brian was stunned.
Then Brian knelt down for Don.
Aojin ingot... This is an Aojin ingot...
He threw it out without blinking...
Who is this guy?
The royal family of the human empire cannot be so grand and luxurious!
Did he really rob the dragon's nest?
"Big brother! You are really my big brother!"
Brian burst into tears: "I'll get along with you in the future!"
Even in the Dwarf Kingdom, it is not that easy to get such a large piece of Aojin. Brian can see that if he gets along with Tang En, he will never be stingy with such good materials in the future.
With these good materials, I am afraid that I will not be able to become a master, a master!?
Don Eun patted Brian's head with kindness: "This is the right choice."
Donn was just starting out in Ellington and needed talents. Now he could buy Brian, a member of the dwarf royal family with an Aujin ingot, and he would definitely make a profit without losing money!
Not to mention an Aujin ingot, he even needs a set of Aujin ingots, and a set of Hengjin ingots is worth it!
Edgar looked at the Aujin ingot in Brian's hand with envy. That was Aujin, and he wanted it too!
Tang En glanced at him, thought for a while, took out another piece of Aujin ingot and threw it to Edgar: "Do it well in the future."
Edgar wanted to sell this life to Tang En in an instant, but the result was...
Brian patted Edgar's thigh and said kindly: "As an apprentice, should you be filial to the master if you have good things?"
Edgar felt something was wrong and hugged Aojinding tightly: "Wait! When did you say you agreed to accept me as your disciple?"
"Just now - as your master, I think you can't use materials like Aojin now. It's a waste in your hands. Let's leave it to the master for me to keep it - you bastard! Why do you hold it so tightly? Do you want to disobey the master!? Leave it to me quickly!"
"No! No one will give it! This piece of Aojin ingot belongs to mine - even if it is a master, I won't give it!"
Brian and Edgar twisted together, especially Brian, because of height problems, could not snatch Okin's ingot from Edgar's hands, making him so angry that he jumped straight.
"Big brother! Are you watching him pursuing his precious Aujin ingots?"
Tang En shrugged: "Anyway, I've sent it out... Besides, it's just an Aujinting, why are you so excited?"
Aojin ingot is "just"!?
Could it be that he still has Hengjin in his hands?
Brian was angry when he saw Tang En's appearance. Why did this guy have so many good things in his hands?
Brian beat his chest and stamped his feet. These materials can only be maximized in the hands of their dwarves, and it is a waste in his hands!
"I said, are you planning to work?"
Tang En raised his eyebrows: "If you don't work, return the Aojinding to me."
"Do it! I'll do it!"
Edgar and Brian didn't care about fighting each other anymore and immediately started working.
With the motivation of Aojinding, the work efficiency of the two men improved a lot. With Tang En's guidance, the parts of the stamping machine were quickly adjusted and completely assembled.
Looking at the slightly rough stamping machine in front of him, Tang En couldn't help but feel emotion.
This is the beginning of the Plandal industry - not starting with a steam engine, but using a magic stamping machine directly...
"Come and give it a try!"
Brian was ready to go: "The iron ingots are already prepared."
They put the iron ingots on top of the bottom mold and then stuck the bottom of the hammer on the top mold. Then Tangen put a magic crystal in the side slot of the stamper and placed his hand on the switch he made: "Are you ready?"
"alright!"
Both Brian and Edgar stared at the iron ingot.
Tang En took a deep breath. Whether he could succeed is here!
Turn on!
The gravity-enhancing magic array absorbs magic power and acts on the above hammer to offset the constant floating effect of the hammer, and then...
"Bang!"
The golden hammer suddenly fell down, and the smooth bottom hit the iron ingot hard, then floated into the air again and fell down again...
A few times later, Tang En closed the magic circle of the stamping machine and the three of them came over.
Tear off the flat iron sheet next to it, and lying in the center was the hair of a sickle!
Brian took out the hairbrush. The hairbrush that had just been stamped was still a little lying on his hands at this moment, but he didn't care at all, just staring at the hairbrush with his eyes shining.
"It is integrated and evenly distributed. As long as you open the blade, it will be a good sickle!"
Brian turned his head to look at Donn: "Big brother, you have changed the entire Forging industry in Plandal!"
"No, it's not changing an industry," Don Eun smiled, "but it's creating an era."
That’s right, what is about to kick off is the combination of magic and technology, which belongs only to the industrial era of Plandal!
After confirming that the stamping machine could work normally, Tang En and the others worked hard and assembled the cutting machine and grinder. After the sickle hair stamped with the stamping machine was shaped by the cutting machine, and then polished with the grinder, it became bright.
Edgar went to try it out and was very excited: "Lord, the quality of this sickle is already very good!"
Tang En nodded slightly. Although this sickle is not as good as that made by Brian himself, don’t forget how long it took to change from an iron ingot to a sickle, it was completed in just a few breaths!
If Brian had to build it manually, although the quality would be better, I'm afraid he wouldn't have to do anything else this day.
In the case of large-scale requirements, the temporary quality needs to be concessed to efficiency, and with the improvement of basic industries in the future, the quality requirements will be gradually improved.
Edgar was very excited: "With the help of these three machines, as long as you get the mold and iron ingots in place, more than 1,500 sets of agricultural tools, it may take only two days to complete it!"
"The efficiency is indeed amazing, but brother, these three machines use magic crystals, right? How long can a piece of magic crystal last?"
Tang En smiled and said, "Don't worry, the magic array is very efficient, and I have added an energy-saving function. When I am not in use, it will automatically cut off the magic power supply, so it saves magic crystals. Under a full load working state, an ordinary magic crystal can work continuously for 30 days."
"Thirty days!?"
Brian widened his eyes and calculated with his fingers: "The value of an ordinary magic crystal is one hundred gold coins. According to the fifteen days of work, nearly 20,000 sickles can be produced in thirty days, and a sickle is worth ten silver coins. This is the output...two thousand gold coins!? The beard of a hammer! This is simply a huge profit!"
Tang En laughed, the impact of the Industrial Revolution on traditional craftsmen was fully demonstrated in Brian, but...
"In fact, you can't calculate this way. You didn't consider a few issues," Done reminded Brian, "For example, the cost of developing a stamping machine and cutting machine, and the impact on the market after a large number of sickles enter the market. The price of sickles will inevitably fall. In fact, it would be great if the final profit would be worth one thousand gold coins."
"You are not satisfied with more than one thousand gold coins a month!"
Brian shouted: "If I could have a hundred gold coins a month, I would have smiled! Ale can be drunk until I vomited!"
Tang En said with a smile: "Considering that there are only more than a thousand farmers in Ellington, the market will be saturated immediately and it is impossible to make money. If you want to make money with these things, you must ship the things we produce and sell them to other places in the empire, or even other countries. But no matter what, it is certain that you can make money."
It is too early to consider transporting things out now. The traffic situation in Plandal is very bad. It will waste a lot of time when the caravan travels to and from two towns at one time. If I only make such a little money, I am afraid that no caravan is willing to run.
Therefore, if you really want to make money, you have to wait until he develops the mint product, so that small commodities are used as a base, and these high-quality and low-priced farm tools are worth a trip to the caravan.
If Fiona knew this good news, she would probably be very happy.
But she has always wanted to revitalize the Jin Qiangwei family.
Then the caravan will let Fiona be responsible. Tang En thought about it and decided so simply.
Chapter completed!
