Chapter 812 focuses on relaxing
In the first month of winter, the wood elves’ villages have been completely captured by their winter equipment.
Is this winter really colder than in previous years?
In fact, no, but today's wood elves have become accustomed to the existence of winter clothes and heaters.
With contrast, the chill that was originally bearable gradually became unbearable.
It's not that the weather has gotten colder, but that their tolerance for the cold has declined.
It is not just the wood elves who feel this way. In fact, the people of Great Zhou, and even Zhou Xu himself, will all have this feeling to a greater or lesser extent.
After living conditions improve, if one day we return to before liberation, who can get used to it?
But a comfortable life like this is destined to require a lot of money to support it.
Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about the anthracite coal that is burned every day. This is currently the most expensive coal in Dazhou. The wood elves despise poor coal because it is smoky. So we directly purchased the highest quality and most expensive anthracite coal on the market at that time.
After winter, the whole village is using it, and the anthracite coal bought before winter is almost bottoming out.
If they want to use it next spring, they have to make another purchase.
The expenditure on anthracite coal will most likely become the biggest consumption point for the wood elves this winter!
During the period, the first batch of ore mined from the mining field in Basin Forest was officially shipped out of the mine today and sent to the Ordnance Forging Department in Xianyang City.
In front of the scorching hot forging furnace, Li Gan wielded the forging hammer in his hand as always, forging the iron block that was as dazzling as the sun. Every time the hammer fell, large iron flowers would splash out.
After completing another round of forging, Li Gan stopped his movements and raised his eyes to look at the members who had been standing beside him for a while.
“What’s the matter?”
“Minister, the diamond mentioned before has been delivered.”
Today, Li Gan seems to rely on his outstanding personal abilities , was promoted to minister.
Hearing the report from his subordinates at this time, Li Gan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Long before, under the arrangement of their majesty, Li Gan had mastered the method of smelting crystal iron. The iron block he was folding and forging just now was exactly a piece of crystal iron mixed with sharp crystal.
He wanted to try to forge a piece of crystal iron into patterned steel.
So far, things are going very smoothly.
But now the emergence of diamond has undoubtedly brought new variables to his arrangement, and may even make his previous work useless.
However, Li Gan was not upset at all, he was only curious and excited about the new ore!
He didn't need to say anything as his subordinates had already brought a basket of diamonds in front of him.
Picking up one of the pieces, Li Gan rubbed the surface of the diamond with his fingertips, feeling the texture of the diamond.
Diamond feels cold, but it is not the same as iron.
Although no refining has been carried out yet, some areas of the raw ore already have a silky feel, which makes Li Gan feel very novel.
[According to His Majesty, adding diamond to the forging can effectively increase the hardness of the weapon. The specific smelting method should be basically the same as that of crystal iron. The focus now is on this ratio during the smelting process. How to grasp it. 】
[In addition, you can slowly try to smelt with other materials. For now, you should try to add diamonds to steel first, and then try to see if you can smelt steel, sharp crystal and diamond together, and Forged into patterned steel. 】
At this moment, the ideas in Li Gan's mind are still very clear.
"Let's try to smelt diamond and steel first. Which group has the lighter workload now?" "Five groups."
"Then put five groups Call them over and let them cooperate in trial and error.”
There is not much technical content in the trial and error aspect of proportion, and it mainly relies on time and manpower.
As long as there are enough manpower, the formulas of various proportions can be smelted at the same time, and the results can be obtained in the shortest time.
At this moment, Li Gan is undoubtedly planning to do this.
This whole process is tedious, boring, and strenuous, but Li Gan really enjoys it.
During this period, although Zhou Xu was concerned about the progress here, he did not keep asking questions.
After all, he also knows that this is a time-consuming matter in itself. If he keeps asking, it will not have any positive effects. On the contrary, it will easily create pressure on his subordinates and increase the probability of screwing up the matter.
In this way, when faced with these things, Zhou Xu's usual approach is to relax and believe that his subordinates can handle things well.
Undoubtedly, Zhou Xu is still very confident about Li Gan, the forging master.
After handing over this task, he basically ignored it and concentrated all his energy on the government affairs that he needed to worry about.
During this period, the study of the mantra certainly did not fall behind.
There is a reason why his research efficiency on the mantra is slow.
It’s not that he is lazy, but because in the process of perceiving, observing, analyzing and studying a mantra, the power of the mantra in his body will continue to be consumed.
This led to a situation where every time he studied in depth, he had to spend ten days and a half to restore the power of the mantra in his body.
This is still under the condition that he has reservations and does not allow his mantra power to be seriously depleted or overdrawn.
Once overdrafted, he would have to wait at least a month to recover from the negative impact.
"Huh——"
In the quiet palace, with a long breath, Zhou Xu, who was sitting on the bed, opened his eyes. At this moment, his tired face appeared. There was a surge of excitement that couldn't be suppressed at all.
"I succeeded, I finally succeeded!"
Just now, he finally completely cracked a mantra character and then restored it.
In this process, the existence of the ‘Peeping Eye’ played a vital role.
This pair of eyes that can spy on secrets has greatly improved his analytical ability.
Afterwards, a simple test was conducted, and the mantra characters could still produce the same effect as before!
What does this mean? This shows that as long as he restores the 'program' to its original version after cracking it, it can continue to operate normally.
Although it is not ruled out that some veterans have added a 'self-destruction' design when writing the program, but for now at least, leaving aside those mantras that seriously prevent prying eyes, his absolute You can study most of the mantras with confidence!
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu also completely relaxed.
The next second, his body fell back, and he heard the sound of snoring. The fatigue caused by the massive consumption of mantra power dragged him into sleep in the blink of an eye...
