Chapter 21 Celebration Banquet and Musket
The Dark Iron dwarves have a very difficult life over there in the Burning Steppes. Only the most drought-tolerant wheat can survive there. There are no fruits, let alone making fruit wine. So the popularity of wine is completely expected.
, even dried pumpkins and dried fish are very popular, and the Dark Iron dwarves do not have many channels to obtain fish, especially after the orcs began to invade, even pumpkins are rarely circulated in the market.
The high-end metal obtained from this transaction almost filled the entire magic bag, and he also carried back several bolts of silk and a small amount of magic pattern cloth. Jiage bought the cloth to practice sewing. This skill is learned by almost all mages and is valuable.
Don't dare to borrow magic cloth from other people's hands.
Since a dwarf master was invited this time, there is no need for weapons and equipment. The food that was very important in the past does not need to be purchased. All of it has been replaced with various materials. The Dark Iron dwarves themselves are also short of food, and there is no need to exchange food.
It's a good deal. Although these high-end materials are very expensive outside, they are nothing to the Dark Iron Dwarves.
The main city of the Dark Iron Dwarves is at the bottom of Blackstone Mountain, and there is a magma pool formed by the explosion of the fire element. They use magma to smelt minerals, which is much more powerful than a furnace.
The black iron dwarves smelt minerals through magma pools, and the dwarves have unique methods of smelting rare minerals. Only they can sell rare metal ingots to the outside world. Zhang Weidao picked up the dark black iron ingot, which was dark and heavy and heavier than an iron ingot.
Times, if this was made into a two-handed sword, it would definitely be unusable now.
Thorium ingots glow with a light green light, and mithril ingots glow with a beige light. These magic metals sell well, and the weapons and equipment they create are also quite high-end.
The use of magical metals such as Thorium and Mithril is not like making them into corresponding parts in the game. Instead, they are mixed with other metals and smelted into alloys. The technology in this area is also very precious, but there are black iron dwarf blacksmiths.
Master, these precious materials will not be wasted casually.
This time, the transaction with the black iron dwarf resulted in a large amount. Jiage smiled and told Zhang Weidao that he had discussed with Master Ron on the way back and planned to build a set of black iron plate armor for Zhang Weidao.
Zhang Weidao was very surprised after hearing this. He has no problem carrying a set of plate armor with his strength. Armor is very important for battlefield combat. Armor is both armor and weapon for melee professions with sufficient strength. A suit of heavy armor alone is
It's unbearable to bump into the enemy. If you charge, the enemy will be directly crushed to the ground.
After seeing the gains from this transaction, Zhang Weidao and Jiage returned to the banquet venue. At this time, everyone except the guards on duty was present.
Zhang Weidao first spoke, "This banquet is held today to celebrate the successful completion of the transaction with the Dark Iron Dwarves. First of all, everyone has a toast to the wise future Archmage!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the kobolds cheered, and they all raised their wine glasses to salute Jiage. Jiage drank the wine in one gulp, and the kobolds in the audience also drank the wine in their glasses.
After the audience calmed down, Zhang Weidao picked up his wine glass and stood up. The kobolds below consciously stopped and looked at the stage. Zhang Weidao glanced around and was very satisfied.
"Next, let us toast to the master blacksmith. He will bring more profound forging skills and take our blacksmith skills to the next level!"
Just after he finished speaking, the audience also burst into cheers. Kobolds themselves like mining, and they would be even happier if someone taught them how to use minerals to create items. After the audience toasted together, blacksmiths and apprentices frequently asked the master for a drink.
Seeing that these blacksmiths were so capable, Zhang Weidao was relieved that they could learn more skills from the dwarf blacksmiths. It was absolutely right to use wine to open the way and win over the dwarves. Anyway, the wine was completely enough, and he would go to the west later.
After settling in the wilderness, the vast wheat fields there can even be used to brew ale, which is even more popular among the dwarves.
Zhang Weidao even plans to build distillation equipment to purify grain wine into high-quality liquor. Dwarves will definitely pursue liquor by then. Although this world has developed magic, it is not lagging behind in technology. However, distillation equipment has not been invented, and even more
Not to mention being used to purify white wine, this white wine must be more popular with dwarves than ale.
Many things are solved with magic. For example, Zhang Weidao observed Jiage making potions. He directly used magic to detect the mixing of potions, and even used magic to separate or fuse. Zhang Weidao did not understand this aspect and only thought of alchemy.
This is how potion making works.
When Jage started making candles, he first used hydrated lime to saponify animal fats. This process was very consistent with scientific theory. Next, according to the scientific process, he used hydrochloric acid to separate the candle raw materials. As a result, Jage directly poured magic power into the candle raw materials and refined the candle raw materials.
come out.
Jiage also said that in fact, you can directly use magic power to complete the process in one step, but in order not to waste magic power, you first use hydrated lime to do the first process. This is to lift the coffin board of chemical scientists!
Zhang Weidao also tried to let Jiage use magic power to purify wine. Although he successfully purified a small bottle of white wine, the consumption was too large and was not cost-effective. However, Jiage relied on it to successfully fool the blacksmith master, and now the small bottle of white wine became Garoun's.
Honey, I usually take a small sip and savor it for a long time. I guess I won’t be willing to finish it until the liquor is officially brewed.
Of course, the wine on the wine table at this time is also quite good. The wine produced in the North County of Stormwind Kingdom is already famous in the Eastern Continent, otherwise it would not be so popular in the Dark Iron Dwarf Market.
After this banquet was held, both the newly returned kobold tribe and the dwarf blacksmith master who came over the mountains were very satisfied with the life in the monastery. After the banquet, they went back to work full of energy. Master blacksmith Garon
Before leaving, I patted my chest and promised that we can complete the equipment improvement today, and then we can directly smelt steel, so that we can cast a qualified gun barrel.
When the time comes, a few simple machine tools will be built to process gun barrels, and a musket will soon be made. All that is needed is to have apprentices use molds to make cartridge cases and warheads, and then train a group of dexterous kobolds to make gunpowder and assemble bullets.
A prototype arsenal will soon be established here, with a large number of muskets installed and self-sufficient consumption guaranteed, which is perfect for the kobolds!
After Garroen finished speaking, he hurried to the blacksmith shop. He couldn't wait to build a musket as soon as possible. In the past, he didn't dare to openly build muskets in Blackstone Mountain. The blacksmith would definitely be criticized for stealing the engineer's job. This is the territory of the kobolds.
It doesn't matter. As the only blacksmith here who knows engineering, he has taken on the important task of making guns.
When Garroen and Zhang Weidao were chatting about muskets, it could be seen from the sketch that there was a magazine for feeding ammunition, and it was a bolt-type fire that could be fed by the magazine. This rifle had reached the mainstream level during World War II, and it was not what Zhang Weidao had imagined.
The backward way of shooting one gun and loading one bullet.
The two communicated for a while, and Garroen hurried back to prepare the gun-making equipment, while Zhang Weidao carried the two-handed sword and continued to practice swordsmanship under the waterfall. His most important task was to practice swordsmanship, and other things were handled by others. Yes.
Chapter completed!
