Chapter 81 Can You Pick It If You Want?

"Look at Ankato, this is a new aluminum-tungsten alloy we have developed. It is also doped with a little moonweed. Although the hardness is not as good as pure steel, it is stronger in corrosion resistance and toughness. Less, more importantly... you take it and try."

Ankato Yiyan picked up a silver-white alloy ingot with a hint of dark brown, and the dwarf Porto immediately asked excitedly: "How is it? Is it very light?"

"Well, it's really very light." Ankato cushioned the alloy ingot in his hand and nodded involuntarily. "It seems that the proportion of aluminum is relatively high. I know very well that tungsten is much heavier than iron."

"What is heavy, that is density!" Porto gave Ancato a contemptuous look. "Have you not read the "Basic Standard of Industrial Materials" written by the chairman? It is called density to describe this thing. Don't keep saying light and heavy, it sounds unprofessional."

Ankato couldn't help rolling his eyes. Just now, Porto kept asking him if he was very light, but now he accuses him of answering with "heavy".

However, about the "Basic Standard of Industrial Materials" published by the president half a month ago, Ankato also studied it for the first time. Knowing that Porto was right, he was too lazy to refute. Moreover, Porto was sent to lead some dwarves to serve as the technical guidance of this non-ferrous metal smelting factory. By the way, it has been several months using this non-ferrous metal ore rich non-ferrous metal species for material research. Now that there are results, he is also a little excited. understandable.

"Okay then. The density of this aluminum-tungsten alloy is lower than that of ordinary steel, and its corrosion resistance and toughness are also stronger than ordinary steel, so what are the disadvantages?" Ankato thought for a while and asked.

"Let's talk about the shortcomings. It's not hard enough." Porto sighed and shook his head: "Look, if I were an aluminum-tungsten alloy tube as thick as a finger, I could bend it with just a little bit of it. This is a lot worse than pure steel pipe.”

Ankato looked at the finger that Porto was sticking out with the thickness of two of his own thumbs, thinking that if this is the case, then the impact resistance of this aluminum-tungsten alloy will be worse than that of ordinary pure steel.

But consider the amazing power that dwarves are born with. Ankato felt that this did not seem to be a big deal.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Ankato said: "Look at it this way. This material is very suitable for making the shell and part of the support frame of household magic machinery. As long as it is not a part with excessive load-bearing capacity, it should be able to be used. There are many household magic machines produced by our chamber of commerce, some of which cannot be replaced by plastic, and pure steel is a bit wasteful. He cracked his mouth and smiled, and said again: "By the way, I found this thing to be very good for making windows. You see, this thing is much stronger than wood, it is also very resistant to corrosion, and it can last for a long time. many."

"Oh? According to you, it's not only used for windows, it can be used in many places in the home." Ankato thought for a while, nodded and said, "I suddenly felt that this aluminum-tungsten alloy is very useful. Extensive, at least it can be used in many places in ordinary housing. Well, I will go back and tell the president. I think he can talk to the Amley Chamber of Commerce, which must be very much needed by the Amley Chamber of Commerce.”

"This kind of thing is left to you, I don't care." Porto waved his hand, suddenly looked left and right, took a step closer to Ankato, and whispered mysteriously: "In addition to this aluminum tungsten alloy. There is another one New research, you need to take it back to the president to see."

See the look on Porto's face. Ankato immediately understood and did not speak, just asked with his eyes.

Porto looked around again, and then waved to Ankato, indicating that he followed him into an inner room of the research room located in the non-ferrous metal smelting factory.

"Come, let's see how this thing is?" After entering the inner room, Porto closed the door, then took out a dark metal block and handed it to Ankato.

Ankato stretched out his hand to take it, and immediately felt his hand sink, and quickly held it with both hands to stabilize it.

"It's so heavy... so dense?" Antoka looked at the dark metal block in his hand in surprise, with no discernible material. "What alloy is this?"

"Mostly lead, a few tungsten, plus iron and a small amount of zinc," Porto replied. "This thing has a very high density, but its hardness is very high, its impact resistance is also very strong, and its toughness is not bad. Isn't the Chamber of Commerce planning to upgrade the specifications of magic machine tools and agricultural and engineering magic machines, the president and Camby? They've been struggling to find materials that can withstand enough pressure, and I think this one is just right."

"That's not a particularly important issue. The president said that as long as we improve the purity of the steel when we smelt the steel, we will definitely be able to meet the requirements. But if the performance of this thing is better, of course it will be better." Ankato weighed it. After thinking about the metal block in his hand, he asked, "The key question is, what is the cost of this thing?"

"Cost?" Porto was stunned, then smiled awkwardly. "It's hard to say. Anyway, this thing needs a lot of materials in this vein. I think since there are so many here, other places shouldn't be too bad."

"That's hard to say." Ankato shook his head and sighed: "No wonder the president has always attached great importance to mineral resources. It would be great if this non-ferrous metal vein belongs to our chamber of commerce."

"I don't think it's difficult. With our dwarves here, are you afraid that you won't be able to find mines?" Porto said.

"So what if you can find it? Can't you go to the Candela Empire or the Marlow Empire to mine?" Ankato gave Porto a blank look.

Porto was immediately speechless.

The two discussed the recent research results of the laboratory. After Ancato proposed some recent research and development trends of the Chamber of Commerce to Porto, he left the laboratory, went to the factory, and found the Falcao Chamber of Commerce to stay in. The person in charge here. Propose to him the orders for various non-ferrous metals brought this time.

This is the reason why Ankato sighed just now.

Although this non-ferrous metal smelting plant is jointly operated by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also enjoys a part of the equity, it is not wholly owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, even if the non-ferrous metal ore vein smelts various non-ferrous metal materials by itself, if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce needs it, it still has to purchase it according to the normal way.

Because of going through this procedure, there are many restrictions on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

For example, the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center and the Magic Research Institute have always hoped to get some pure copper for experiments. However, because copper can be used to make copper coins, copper is subject to special control in the Kingdom of Lampari. Farr The Kao Chamber of Commerce will not consider selling to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at all.

Except for copper. The production targets of non-ferrous metal smelting plants cannot be fully formulated in accordance with the needs of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Take the household magic machinery department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is in charge of Ankato as an example, because the latest versions of various household magic machinery need to be upgraded in terms of materials. Demand for aluminium and zinc is now extremely high.

However, the Falcao Chamber of Commerce insists on giving priority to pure copper smelting, resulting in the production of aluminum and zinc has not been high.

The non-ferrous metal mine and smelting factory near the Woller Werewolf Tribe can be completely produced according to the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The main non-ferrous metals in that vein are aluminum ore and lead ore, but no zinc ore has been found at all. So if you want zinc, you can only get it from here.

Therefore, even Ankato, who has not paid much attention to this kind of thing, involuntarily hopes that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can control a few more non-ferrous metal veins by itself, so as not to be restricted by others.

It's just that the situation in the Lampari Kingdom is more complicated, and it is not easy for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to participate here. If you want to obtain one or even a few more veins, at least in the short term, it is absolutely impossible.

Ankato and the person in charge of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce rubbed their tongues for a long time, and only then did he win the request that he would urge the mine to mine more zinc.

As for the actual effect, then really only God knows...

after one day. Ankato watched President Pomberg lead the Freight Magic locomotive fleet of Philson's Carriage Co., which loaded up to seventeen tons of various non-ferrous metals on the road leading to Bangta City, and then turned around and came to Fitu. Chamber of Commerce.

"General Manager of the Home Magic Machinery Department of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

President Cherno of the Fit Chamber of Commerce glanced at the name note handed over by Ankato, and then looked at the youthful face. No matter how you look at it, Ankato, who is not more than thirty years old, thought that if it wasn't for the testimony of an old acquaintance of Sakeqi, he would not believe that such a young man was actually the department director of a chamber of commerce as big as the New Flying Chamber of Commerce.

"That... General Manager Ankato, what's the matter with your coming to our Fit Chamber of Commerce?" President Cherno looked at Ankato with a look of vigilance and suspicion.

As a representative of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this person came to his small magic machinery chamber of commerce that produces magic fans and magic kettles, which always made people feel bad.

Ankato smiled slightly: "President Cherno. I remember that your Fit Chamber of Commerce purchased the related production technology of magic fans and magic kettles from our chamber of commerce in March and June last year respectively. Sixty-three thousand gold coins and seventy-two thousand gold coins, right?"

President Cherno narrowed his eyes, and the vigilance in Ankato's eyes became more intense.

This guy obviously made preparations in advance, it must be a bad comer.

"That's right, General Manager Ankato, what are you trying to say when you mention this?" President Cherno asked coldly.

Ankato kept his smile unchanged, paused, and continued: "President Cherno, when I was visiting your factory just now, I found that your chamber of commerce's magic fan and magic kettle production line are not perfect, lack of There are several models. Since President Cherno, you are willing to spend so much money on the related technologies of magic fans and magic kettles, then you are willing to spend another sum of money to improve the entire production line and related technologies. get up?"

President Cherno was stunned for a moment.

Listening to the meaning of Ankato's words, does Xinfei Chamber of Commerce intend to fully open all the production technologies of magic fans and magic kettles to them?

Thinking of this possibility, President Cherno's heart couldn't stop beating violently.
