Chapter 62, Fine Gold (500 per order for additional updates)
"Speaking of which, it's Arecino's birthday next. Do you want to give her anything?" Charmian asked Fugate.
"Well~how about the weapons?" Fugate asked.
He didn't have anything else to give. After all, Arlecino seemed to be lacking nothing. If he insisted on missing something, it might be a best friend or something.
Fugate had also investigated Arlecino's previous affairs and knew that she once had a best friend, but she was killed by her in the end.
Or it can be said that he committed suicide. Fuquet came up with two results through divination, suicide and Arechino's death.
People from this world might think that their divination was wrong, but the well-informed Fugate easily got the answer, which was that this best friend committed suicide with the help of Arecino.
"A good idea, but ordinary weapons are not as sophisticated as the ones in her hands. Your ceramic weapons are not enough." Charmian said.
Although ceramic weapons are considered top-notch among four-star weapons, they are far inferior to the magical five-star weapons.
Because five-star weapons are also called artifacts in the world of Teyvat, they are at least weapons with attached power.
The simple material may be average, but with the blessing of power, even the simplest and most fragile material is not as strong as ceramic steel.
What Arecino is holding now is the weapon that was transformed from the skeleton of the Red Moon. The shape of the Red Moon is unknown where it was found. As if by fate, it suddenly appeared in Arecino one day. hands.
It usually looks like a spear, but once it comes into contact with the blood of the Red Moon Royal Family in Arecino's body, the entire spear is transformed into a huge scythe as if it has been injected with chicken blood.
The powers attached to it are moon, blood, fire and harvest.
Of course, the shape of the red moon is not only entangled with power, but also attached to it is a curse that is basically the same as Arecino.
Fortunately, Arecino can now easily use psychic powers to suppress this curse.
"I'm going to squeeze out some fine gold to make a weapon for her." After mixing fine gold and ceramic steel according to the optimal ratio, Fugate found that the quality has increased exponentially. Just adding a ton of ceramic steel requires Less than 10g of fine gold can double or triple its various parameters.
The optimal ratio is to add about 1.3KG of fine gold to one ton of ceramic steel. The specific amount depends on the purity of the fine gold and the performance of the ceramic steel. The higher the performance of the ceramic steel, the more fine gold can be added. The higher the purity of the gold, the less it needs to be added.
The optimal proportion of alloys is just like what Fugate predicted. As long as people wearing such power armor do not directly break into the battlefield of Tianli level, then basically they don't have to worry too much about their own safety.
It’s no wonder that metal like adamantine is so valuable (a 20kg brick of the highest purity adamantine is worth a garden planet, and a garden planet is equal to approximately three forging planets, and a forging planet is approximately equal to five hive planets. .).
Thinking of this, Fugate couldn't help but praise the emperor again. This boss was really generous. The fine gold bricks he gave were all smelted fine gold bricks of the highest purity. Fugate could use them directly, and Two pieces were given at a time.
"I seem to have heard from the system before that prayers seem to be able to carry some information or something."
"I don't know if I can give the boss some knowledge about other worlds in exchange for some adamantine bricks or something like that."
Fugate sorted out his knowledge and found that the only things that could be exchanged for fine gold were [alchemy], and some of the principles of pharmaceutical formulas he developed could be used.
Especially [H Emotion Suppressant], it is estimated that it will be very popular among human forces in that universe.
After all, in that world, human emotions are equivalent to guiding the demons in subspace.
If you are not careful, you will be bewitched by the evil god of subspace. [H Emotional Suppressant], something that is cheap, easy to use and easy to mass produce, is obviously what they need very much.
However, there is also a problem, that is, after taking it for a long time, it is easy to have emotional outbursts.
Fugate will also write about this side effect. I believe that the big golden guy should be able to complete the improvement of the emotional suppressor with his witchcraft wisdom.
After all, it's not that difficult, it just requires some minor biological modifications.
If Fugate, who has some knowledge of the biology of the golden guy, can do it, the golden guy can naturally do it as well.
Fugate rushed to the smelting plant.
At present, the smelting plants are intensively producing ceramic steel, but most of them are still not up to standard ceramic steel. Only some ceramic steel that is smelted by experienced workers can reach the level of standard ceramic steel.
Ceramic steel is naturally not only needed by Fugate, but also by many people in the Hearth House as armor and weapons, especially by the engineers of the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences.
So the ceramic steel that didn't meet Fogate's standards just flowed out.
You must know that after Carres obtained the ceramic steel before, this ceramic steel has attracted the attention of many engineers of the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences.
Many Fontaine mechanical engineers who study machinery came to the smelting plant to order ceramic steel for study.
There is also Merlot Petersburg, the largest machine factory in Fontaine. They also ordered a large amount of ceramic steel here in Fugate.
It seems that it is intended to be used to upgrade the machine tools and forging tables of the processing mechanism.
Hmm~ It's not used to upgrade the security mechanism, because ceramic steel is a bit too expensive.
Moreover, the design of the security mechanism is already very mature. A slight change will change its focus, which is not good.
But none of this has anything to do with Fugate.
Fugate started to fuse the ceramic steel and fine gold in the optimal ratio in his forge, but he didn't actually spend much fine gold.
Then it was shaped and sharpened, spiritually blessed, seal carved with runes, and finely forged and strengthened all in one go.
"This gun is made of ceramic steel and fine gold. It weighs about 40 kilograms. When it is injected with elemental power, it can stretch out the blade like the red moon." Fugate injected the water elemental power into the gun, and then put it on the gun. A high-density water element blade slowly extended, and together with the original spear, it formed an aqua blue sickle.
Of course, injecting psychic energy will also work.
After Fugate dispersed the water elemental power and injected spiritual energy, although the spear did not change on the surface, the blade-like force field actually extended.
Fugate experimented with substandard ceramite.
It easily left scratches on the ceramic steel, and even directly inserted the force field into the ceramic steel with a full blow.
"Although it's just substandard ceramic steel, its power is still a bit beyond the standard."
"However, the invisible psychic field is a bit bad. It is easy to cause accidental damage. Let's add some runes that reflect the essential color."
The main colors of the spear in Fugate's hand changed to gray and purple-black, with some black and white pattern lines intertwining, which looked very awkward. As for the blade, it became the essential color of Fugate's psychic energy. blue.
Fugate withdrew his spiritual energy, and the spear instantly turned gray-gold.
This is the original color of the spear.
"I hope that guy will like it and let the system identify it."
[Adamantine spear and sickle, a five-star long-handled weapon, carrying power as solid, tough, sharp, and law-breaking]
"Power? I don't remember injecting power into it." Fugate asked curiously, "Where does this power come from?"
[As a four-star ultimate material, fine gold itself has certain powers. Your forging and the strengthening of it by the Law of Teyvat (precision forging) only channel the power out of it. 】
"Okay, I don't want to send it away." Fugate complained.
Although the adamantine spear and sickle is at the bottom among the five-star weapons, Fugate is still very satisfied with it. After all, he is currently using the four-star weapon Slaughterer that he made casually. ······
"Did these little guys give you a 'Gecko'? Do you want me to modify it?" Fugate said holding the adamantine spear, "This is my birthday gift to you."
"A nice-looking and easy-to-use spear." Fugate said with a smile. "Fortunately, I'm not very good at using this kind of weapon, otherwise I would really be reluctant to give it to you."
"There's no need to modify the gecko. It's very heavy... but it feels very little in the hand, and the feeling it gives me is not weaker than the shape of the red moon." Arecino said in surprise, "Is this your latest achievement? Can you? Cannot be forged in batches. ”
"But you said that you are not good at using this kind of weapon. I disagree with that." Arecino's spear skills were trained by Fugate, and she knew very well that Fugate's spear skills were also very good.
"Unfortunately, we can't." Fugate said, "The materials are too precious."
This thing is ceramic steel that meets the standard, and the ceramic steel that meets the standard requires a large amount of Fontaine's specialty condensed crystal ore. This ore is a variant of crystal ore. This kind of bright prism was once brought by the messenger of Gao Tian. The gift, the shimmering light reflected day and night is a symbol of the white moon's grace, giving the world the power to forge wonders.
This kind of ore core containing a large amount of pure substances is the main additive material of Fugate's forged ceramic steel. It is worth mentioning that the main material of ceramic steel is marcasite.
Of course, there is no waste of non-ore cores. The non-ore core extracted crystal ores are also better than ordinary crystal ores. These ordinary extracted crystal ores will be forged into sub-standard ceramic steel.
In comparison, ordinary crystal ore is much worse. There have been experiments with crystal ore forging before, but unfortunately, the forged ceramic steel is very fragile and can only reach 63% of the standard at most, while ordinary ones that have lost their mineral core The crystal concentration limit is 87%.
Only the mineral core in the crystallization center can reach more than 98% of the standard, and can reach up to 115% of the standard.
This fluctuating value means the difference in skill and experience of the smelting master.
115% is the value reached by Fugate's personal participation. It has reached the limit of the material and the limit of mortal forging in Teyvat.
The molten steel weighing about half a ton was prepared by Fugate to make some protection for the core area of the power armor. After being mixed with fine gold, this performance would be exponentially amplified.
However, after experiencing that steel-making experience, Fugate said that he did not want to make another steel-making furnace because it was too time-consuming.
"Is there no way to solve the problem of scarcity of materials?" Arecino went to the training ground to experiment, and after scrapping the Slayer in Fugate's hands, he couldn't help but ask.
"No, how should I put it? The precious materials mixed in your spear are worth as much as the entire Fontainebleau City." Fugate said sincerely.
This is based on the fact that the value of the world of Teyvat is relatively high. If it is an ordinary planet, the materials contained in the spear can be worth a medium-sized country.
Although Fugate told the truth, Arecino still didn't believe it. After all, this kind of thing was beyond Arecino's imagination.
So the matter ended like this.
"Changing the topic, how is the financial situation of Hearth House recently?" Fugate asked.
"It's relatively healthy. In addition, I plan to take time to go to Inazuma recently to take over the Hearth House forces there." Arecino said, "The head of the branch there is a die-hard loyalist of the previous generation of servants, so I Want to complete the process as soon as possible”
"Paddy Wife." Fugate was still very curious about Rice Wife, so he said, "I heard that Rice Wife has its own special forging method, and I don't know if the forging method there has improved the production of ceramic steel."
"There is no improvement." Arecino said
"?"
"Because the specialty jade steel forging from Inazuma's side relies on Fontaine's technology, which is still relatively backward." Arecino said, "Because Fontaine has sent many engineers over the years to help them overhaul the smelting furnace core. .”
"Their magical materials rely entirely on a specialty crystallized bone marrow, which is said to be a special material that was deposited after the death of a demon god."
"This kind of thing, as long as you pay attention to the relevant information, you will know it." Arecino complained that Fugate did not care about Fontaine's relevant information.
When Arecino said this, Fugate immediately searched his memory bank through keywords.
This seems to be the case, and the machine called the Mikage Furnace Heart seems to be using technology improved by doctors hundreds of years ago.
Having said that, Fugate instantly lost any desire to study Inazuma.
Fugate still recognized the doctor's mechanical skills. Everything was good, but it was a bit labor-intensive. Well, it was literally labor-intensive.
"When are you going to go there?" Fugate asked.
"Let's prepare for a few more months. It is said that that guy has prepared a very grand trap for me, and Inazuma is different from other countries. That place advocates force, and General Thunder happens to be a god with absolute force." A Lei Kino said.
"Then be careful." Fugate said, "But then again, doesn't that guy know your strength? Why is he confident that you will be killed by his trap."
"Hmph~ It's just [Rooster] and [Doctor] standing behind him." Arecino didn't care and told basically all the information he had investigated.
The entire crowd of fools is dotted with Arecino’s [family members]. These [family members] will quietly collect information about the entire crowd of fools, and then Arecino will summarize it.
Although the movements of [Cock] and [Doctor] were very secretive, they still could not hide from Arecino's eyes.
······
A few months have passed by in a flash, but the recent news from Inazuma left Arecino scratching his head.
Arecino had already checked out the guy's arrangement and was about to give him a good look.
But at this time something suddenly happened.
That is, Inazuma intends to lock down the country, which will probably trigger the power of General Raiden to blockade the entire Inazuma. This news was brought by well-informed businessmen.
Now Ina Wife may have started to lock down the country.
Although the Fools have a way to pass, the high-tech Fools fleet is basically owned by the rich and the cock, and these two people will not let her go to Inazuma to receive the power of Inazuma's fireplace home.
After all, they also need some suitable victims to maintain their own interests.
Several other Hearth Houses had been taken back by Arecino, and only the one on Inazuma's side was left, but it could not be taken back again, so they blocked Arecino's way, which was a smooth thing anyway. .
Arecino originally wanted to go by merchant ship, but unfortunately now that the country is under lockdown, no normal merchant ship is willing to go.
His application to the Winter Palace for a ride on the Fools' ship was rejected again, so now he can only stay in Fontaine and sulk.
(Time calculation shows that Arecino was about 29 years old when he met the traveler, and Linni and Linnette were about 18 years old when they met the traveler. So it should be six to seven years before the plot of Fontaine begins. The days of lockdown)
"Does that mean we can't go?" Fugate asked, "Is there no other way besides the ships of fools?"
"There are still some. Inazuma's local caravans from the Imperial Palace of the Far Kingdom, that is, the shogunate's own caravans, should be able to travel unimpeded." Arecino said, "But I will not be allowed to ride on the ships of the Imperial Imperial Palace of the Far Kingdom. Other than that, There is no more outside.”
Arecino did not go to Inazuma alone, but with a certain number of elite subordinates.
Even many of their elite subordinates have already gone there.
Thinking of this, Fugate said, "What about the people before?"
"I asked some children who serve in the advance team of fools to spread the news and let them lurk for the time being." Arecino didn't have a good way to deal with this. It seems that those elites may not be able to come back for the time being. .
"Since we've already made arrangements, that's good. Things that go wrong in life will most likely...don't take it too seriously." Fugate really didn't know how to comfort Arlecino.
"Alas~ What a pity..." Arecino sighed in a low voice.
"Just write down this account and settle it with them in the future." Shamian comforted, "Fugate, why did you run out again? Aren't you carving runes on the power armor?"
< br>
"Uh~" Fugate scratched his head and his momentum instantly weakened and said, "I'll go right away."
