Chapter 84 - How Steel is Made
Status: Juvenile
Physical Strength: 11/11
Explosive Power: 10/55
Satiated Degree: 95%
Active time: 110 hours
Energy points: 12/5000
Chen Fei took the time to take a look at the "individual information" of the system.
I got 10 energy points, but... what are they enough for?
The cheapest "Physical Body Evolution Database" on the first page of the "Skill Shop" requires 99 energy points. Currently, there are still 87 energy points missing. I don't know when we can get it together.
When he arrived at the recycling bin, Chen Fei saw cardboard boxes piled up into a huge angular rectangle.
After repeated screening and cleaning, the wreckage of the fighter jets was finally delivered here, and was dismantled into pieces. Metal was metal, plastic was plastic, and even standard fasteners were packed in cardboard boxes. good.
This kind of detailed work can only be done by people in the mechanical repair team.
For others, I am afraid that I would not be able to start looking at the modular assembly components, and I would only stare at them.
Violent cutting without technical content is another matter.
Being disassembled like this saves a lot of trouble.
At least you don’t have to throw them all into the reaction tank to undergo biodegradation.
“Eat it directly, or smelt it?”
Chen Fei looked at the female gold dragon who was eager to try.
Using the way of eating and drinking in metal smelting, Emmm can definitely achieve great results.
Just to give you a random example, flour alone is just a trick!
"Of course..." Yilan instinctively wanted to choose to enter directly, but before she could say anything, she suddenly changed her mind for some reason.
“Of course I want to try different alloy formulas.”
The taste of different metal components will be different. In the past, it was difficult to have such an opportunity to order food just to fill my stomach.
The Slan Dynasty of the Sky Star has never been used to the golden dragons it raises. The rations provided are limited to food and clothing, and it is rare to change the taste.
In fact, it is good that the young dragons can eat well. If they want to eat well and achieve mithril freedom, even the dynasty empire that unified the firmament star will still be unable to bear it.
The blue star has much richer mithril reserves than the firmament star, and it is distributed almost everywhere. Just grab a handful of soil and it will contain mithril, but the content ratio is too low, and it is not easy to form minerals. The output is limited, and smelting and processing is very troublesome. The cost is slightly lower than that of Cangqingxing, but not much lower. Bluestar cannot use it for its own use. It finally squeezes out a part of the quota and trades it to Cangqingxing every year. How can it be willing to use it to feed the dragon? .
Just take a few sips of that little trading volume and it will be gone!
"Understood!"
Chen Fei picked up a box of metal parts and poured it directly into the feeding chute of the smelting furnace.
He didn't notice that his strength had increased inexplicably. The weight of this box was at least forty or fifty kilograms, but he could easily hold it in his hand without any effort at all.
"There is also this box. I smell the smell of mithril, and the content is not low."
The female gold dragon came to the pile of boxes, sniffing one by one. , the tail dexterously grabbed the box he wanted.
Open the cardboard lid and smell it carefully. It's that smell. It almost makes your mouth water.
“Mythril? The name here on Blue Star is ‘titanium’, and titanium alloys are also used in aircraft.”
Iridium could smell the mithril inside the box, and Chen Fei wasn't surprised at all.
Titanium is a magic metal on the Firmament Star, while on the Blue Star it is a high-strength, lightweight special material with special uses. Both are strategic resources with extremely high military value.
Even if the A-39B "Big Mouth Monster" light turboprop attack aircraft is a cheap and large-volume product, some structural parts will still be made of titanium alloy.
The so-called "cheap" is only relative.
“Are these all aircraft parts?”
Yilan was stunned, then looked at the boxes up and down, and said doubtfully: "Scrap?"
It not only smelled of titanium alloy, but also smoky.
Mottled marks of varying degrees of severity can be seen on the surface of many parts, and there are even deformations and defects.
Even a layman can still tell that these parts are scrap and cannot be installed on the aircraft at all.
“Yes, all of them!”
Chen Fei took several cardboard boxes picked out by the female giant gold dragon Yilan to the feeding chute one by one and poured them into them.
The empty boxes can be used again, so put them aside for now.
Iridium asked hesitantly: "Can these be eaten?"
Compared with yesterday's metal ingots, today's metal parts are a bit high-grade, and they actually contain Mithril ingredients.
“Of course, if you want!”
Chen Fei nodded.
There is no other way to deal with the waste sent to the recycling station except decomposition and smelting. Even transporting it away requires a freight fee. If it is thrown away casually, it will pollute the environment. Ground regeneration is the best solution, which is equivalent to creating new value out of nothing.
“I want it, I want it all!”
The female gold dragon was surprised and delighted. The feast containing mithril was definitely not to be missed.
In the thirty years since I emerged from the shell, I have tasted mithril almost countless times, and the portions are very limited, barely enough to stuff between my teeth and taste the taste.
Even so, the little mithril that was finally obtained was obtained by fighting hard with other friends of the same race.
A group of snarling young dragons were fighting each other with no one willing to give in. The scene was naturally extremely cruel, and I am afraid they even wanted to kill their competitors.
"Yi Lan, please help me identify the metal materials in the box. First pick out the excess and try to get one or two thick ingots."
Chen Fei continued to open it. For cardboard boxes, put the boxes with less metal material aside first, and then throw them all into the reaction tank. After a period of biodegradation, the inorganic matter and metal are finally separated.
“This is too easy!”
Yilan would not refuse Chen Fei's proposal at all, but was very happy with it.
It jumped in front of the pile of boxes. With the metal dragon's innate ability to sense metal materials, it could tell how much metal material was inside without even opening the box. It moved very fast, and in a short while In a short time, two piles of boxes were separated, and the ones with more metal materials accounted for the majority.
A red light glowed in the automatically feeding smelting furnace, and the temperature suddenly increased.
Metals of various shapes quickly turned red, softened like wax, and finally condensed into a ball.
A liquid sphere that shines like a small sun is suspended in the center of the smelting furnace under the constraints of a magnetic field. The temperature display reaches 2600 degrees Celsius, with an fluctuation of less than 10 degrees Celsius.
The magnetic field deflects, and the molten liquid metal ball falls into the crucible, and then slowly pours into the mold. After cooling, it becomes the most basic rough ingot.
If you want to reuse these metals, you can use these rough ingots as raw materials for processing. In many places where the requirements are not too high, these metal products processed from rough ingots are more than enough.
Under the shroud of cooling water mist, the surface of the mold made a chirping sound, and water vapor could not help but permeate the air.
A minute later, the still hot metal ingot was released.
The female giant gold dragon Yilan couldn’t wait to bite it.
"The composition of mithril can reach at least 60%, as well as Wujin."
Mithril tastes like cheese, fragrant and sweet, and Wujin tastes like hazelnuts, crisp and fragrant.
The high temperature of 2600 degrees Celsius in the smelting furnace has not reached the melting point of tungsten (3410 degrees Celsius), so many tungsten chips that have not been melted together are distributed inside the rough ingot, and the whole taste is like a nut sandwich. cheese sticks.
Every bite was full of happiness, and Yilan was so moved that she wanted to cry.
It is not always possible to have the golden dragon take apart those fighter jets and resmelt them for a feast.
Boom!
Half of the metal ingot flew over and hit Chen Fei hard in front of him.
The female gold dragon Yilan said very seriously: "Half of you, half of me!"
"Huh?"
Chen Fei looked at his feet The thick ingot was a little dazed, and there were still ferocious teeth marks on it.
It is an anecdote for the ages that a giant metal dragon is willing to share its own food.
The instinct of living things is to protect food. Even domestic cats and dogs, if anyone dares to touch the rice bowl they are enjoying, they will be given a bite on the spot, and those with a bad temper will immediately turn their backs. Recognize people.
Even ordinary animals are like this, not to mention the metal dragons who are notoriously cruel and bad-tempered. If anyone dares to touch their food, it is normal to fight to the death.
Eager to share this delicious and touching food, Yilan urged: "Eat it while it's hot, it's fragrant and tender!" It seemed to have forgotten that the person in front of it was a human being, not a giant metal dragon.
