Chapter 70 New Alloy

"Of course, Xu Yi, His Majesty the King and the Agriculture Department also hope that since the tax has been exempted, the farmland magic machinery of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can also reduce the price accordingly, at least to allow all the nobles in the kingdom with territories. Affordable." Count Somerset added.

"Please tell His Majesty the Lord of the City, that this is what our New Flying Chamber of Commerce should do. Maybe you should also tell His Majesty the farmer support plan implemented by our Chamber of Commerce, so that His Majesty will know how rich our Chamber of Commerce is. A chamber of commerce with a sense of social responsibility." Xu Yi said with a smile.

"What is a sense of social responsibility? Why do you always come up with strange words?" Earl Summer looked at Xu Yi with a puzzled expression. "Of course, I also reported the farmer support plan you implemented to His Majesty the King. His Majesty also highly appreciates it, and said that when I summoned you, I would like to hear you explain it carefully, and you must also be prepared."

"Okay, I will make His Majesty the King fully agree with this plan. It is best to promote this plan within the kingdom." Xu Yi nodded.

"It's okay to give your opinion when you see His Majesty the King, but remember, don't talk nonsense. If you're still so open-mouthed in front of me and that kid Leslie, don't get into any trouble. Blame me for not reminding you." Earl Summer said earnestly. "Xu Yi, now you and your New Flying Chamber of Commerce are very popular in our Bangta City. No matter what you do, you should be careful."

Xu Yi looked at Count Satsuma somewhat unexpectedly, thinking that the words of the city lord were not just casual words, but a kind reminder.

"By the way, I forgot, you are still a magician. The assessment of the magician's union will be held in Anweimar next month, should you go back to participate?" Count Summer asked again.

"Well, I have discussed it with the great magician Camilla, and I will participate at that time."

"Well, since you will go to Anvilmar city next month, then don't make another trip. I will send a letter to the king after I go back today, telling him this, you will participate in the magician at that time. Let His Majesty the King summon you by the way during the union assessment."

Xu Yi quickly smiled and thanked: "Thank you, Lord City Lord, for thinking of me so much."

Earl Summer snorted coldly: "I only take care of you because of the farmland magic machinery you invented. If Leslie's farmland doesn't produce any good results next year, you will see me then. Will I still be polite to you?"

Xu Yi laughed: "Please rest assured, Lord City Lord, even if I try my best, I will definitely make Lord Viscount's farmland a bumper harvest!"

###

Two days later, Xu Yi appeared in the tribe of dwarves from Master Lanu.

This time is different from the last time I came with Master Lanu, because Xu Yi contributed money and the dwarves contributed to build a flat road from the dwarven tribe to the outer avenue. This time Xu Yi could directly enter the dwarves by riding a carriage. tribe.

Many dwarf children in the tribe saw something like a carriage for the first time, and they involuntarily surrounded it.

Xu Yi distributed the candies that he had prepared for a long time, which immediately caused a burst of cheers from the children.

The dwarf patriarch Sluka greeted him with a big smile: "President Xu, you haven't come for so long, I thought you had forgotten our dwarf friends."

Xu Yi also laughed and bent down and hugged Sluka hard, then pointed to Camby who was with him and said, "How could that be, Camby and those dwarf brothers and I have to get along every day, every time When I see them, I think of the dwarf friends who are still here. I was too busy a while ago, so I didn't come here. How is it? How are you all doing this time?"

"Thanks to your sponsorship, President Xu, the life of our tribe is much better now than before. Not only will the children not be hungry every day, but they can also wear a few new clothes." Shluka laughed. road.

"No, no, Patriarch Shluka, those gold coins are not funding, but research funding, do you understand? Research funding." Xu Yi repeated it deliberately.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Shluka's simple and honest face, he touched his big head a little embarrassedly, and lowered his voice: "This... President Xu, to tell you the truth, although we have been following you during this time. I have done many experiments with the formula given, but none of them have been able to successfully burn the alloy steel you mentioned... You see..."

Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that if material research was so easy to succeed, he wouldn't have such a headache now.

He patted Sluka on the shoulder and reassured: "It's okay, it takes a lot of time to study this thing. I didn't expect you to really study it in just two months. You can continue to experiment in the future, no need. in a hurry."

A blush appeared on Sluka's face.

The dwarves are simple and honest, and the more Xu Yi doesn't care, the more sorry they feel.

Camby on the side looked anxious, but also knew that it was inconvenient for him to say something for the patriarch, so he could only scratch his head and sigh.

Seeing the reaction of the two dwarves, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile, thinking that if this matter were put on earth, it must be the institution in charge of the research, claiming that it encountered various difficulties and asking investors to further increase their investment funds. .

And on the heads of these dwarves, the mere five hundred gold coins have already made them feel so sorry.

In fact, the 500 gold coins Xu Yi paid each month was for the purpose of pulling dwarf craftsmen from this dwarf tribe. Now the 100 dwarves headed by Camby have created more than 500 gold coins per month for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. gold.

Moreover, these dwarf artisans can now master the most advanced magic machine tools and a series of magic machinery manufacturing processes, and their value is far from being measured by simple gold coins.

Camby once told Xu Yi that several chambers of commerce had contacted him privately, claiming that they were willing to offer him and the dwarves under him a monthly salary of up to 20 gold coins and let them work in other chambers of commerce. , but was rejected by Camby.

Seeing that both Shiluka and Camby were a little embarrassed, Xu Yi thought about it and waved his hand: "Well, Patriarch Shiluka, take me to see your research results, and I may be able to give you some advice. "

Patriarch Shiluka nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, President Xu, you know this the most. If you go and see, maybe you will have a better opinion."

Xu Yi and Camby entered a huge cave under the leadership of Sluka, and a heat wave hit them.

Taking a closer look, the interior space of this cave, which is more than ten meters high, even exceeds the size of a standard football field. Inside the cave, various furnaces of various sizes are built with stones. At this time, most of these furnaces are full. A blazing fire blazed out, and the dwarves nearby were constantly adding something to the furnace.

"President Xu, you see, at the beginning we tried the formulas you gave, but it was always unsuccessful. Later, the clansmen started experimenting with adding different things to the molten iron, and then there were all kinds of messes. The... um... it's the kind of alloy you mentioned, but none of them can meet the requirements of the alloy steel you said." Shluca introduced with some shame.

"Oh? All kinds of messy alloys? Where are they? Let me see." Xu Yi asked with interest.

"Well, it's all piled up here." Sluka led Xu Yi to a corner of the cave and pointed to the iron lumps piled up like a mountain in front of him.

Xu Yi glanced at the iron mountain, which was as tall as two of him, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the iron ball that reflected a little ignition in the middle of the iron mountain.

Climbing up and taking a look at the iron ball, Xu Yi was stunned to find that apart from some impurities that were mixed in because of unqualified smelting, the entire surface of the iron ball was actually very smooth, and the surface showed a kind of bright silver. There is no trace of rust that iron should have.

Xu Yidian weighed the iron ball, and unexpectedly found that the iron ball was still very light. He reached out and knocked on it, but there was no hollow sound, proving that it was actually solid inside.

"Is this thing still iron?" Xu Yi was a little puzzled.

Ask Shluka to bring an iron hammer and knock it down vigorously. The iron ball has only slightly changed its shape on the surface, and there is no sign of cracking. It can be seen that the hardness of the iron ball is very good.

"Let's go, what kind of alloy is this? The performance is so strong?" Xu Yi couldn't help being excited, and asked Shiluka: "Patriarch Shiluka, how did this iron ball come out?"

Sluka took the iron ball from Xu Yi's hand and looked at it, found a pattern mark on the bottom of the iron ball, and beckoned a dwarf with an extremely long beard to come over.

"Mu Lu, did you burn this iron ball? President Xu is very interested now. Tell me, how did you burn it?"

The dwarf named Mu Lu's eyes lit up and looked at Xu Yi expectantly: "President Xu, is this thing useful?"

Xu Yi nodded: "Although there is no way to test all of its performance, but for now, it should be useful."

Mu Lu immediately said happily: "That's great! We have been tossing for so long and tried thousands of recipes, but we haven't come up with the kind of alloy steel you mentioned. There is something useful!"

Sluka glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, President Xu asked how you got it, just answer it properly."

Only then did Mu Lu suppress the excitement in his heart, but Iron Ball looked over it, tilted his head to recall carefully, and slowly replied: "This thing was accidentally poured into a can when I was doing the experiment. Silverleaf Powder..."
