Chapter 30: Irish Town (12) (2nd update) The first gold…
First, Ye Mo bought a batch of ore raw materials from the Miranda craftsman. The weight was over a thousand kilograms, enough to make dozens of swords and bows. He spent all the copper coins in his pocket.
“Melt, forge, mill, plan, grind…”
While checking the equipment, Ye Mo occasionally muttered some incomprehensible words, but the Miranda craftsman saw that she was also very carefully checking the safety performance of the equipment and tools. Knowing that this young girl was 100% serious, he felt relieved.
Everything is ready.
Let’s get started!
Working for Master Ian and doing it on your own are two different things. At least the first step Ye Mo did was not forging iron, but one of the preliminary preparations - making molds for casting.
Molds are indispensable tools in modern industrial technology. They come in a variety of styles, rough or high-precision. The design requires an accurate database and consideration of the assembly of the entire product.
But in the Goblin world, molds are just a transitional product in the early stages. They are basically square, rectangular, spherical, elliptical, and must be processed by casting, forging, grinding, and other processes. It
is mainly caused by some power and human factors. Goblins are much stronger than people on Earth.
And it is a matter of great changes to improve this process. First of all, we must find materials that can be used based on the materials in this world and make a new series of equipment.
Ye Mo just forged a sword. She didn't have a few years to change the Goblin industry in this world. She
honestly made two rectangular molds of different sizes, one for Goblins and one for ordinary humans.
During the production period, thanks to Miranda's words, Ye Mo would have forgotten that the goblin's bow and arrow are different in size from those of ordinary people.
While waiting for the mold to be fired, Ye Mo mixed the ore raw materials containing iron, tin, and mithril in proportion, and then further smelted and processed them to remove the impurities contained in the raw materials.
Add a little element catalyst during the process.
The most important thing in this step is not the operation, but the understanding of the material properties.
For example, if there is a little more tin element, the result may be very brittle, not even as good as a small wooden sword. When this world is not only made of materials on Earth, Master Ian's diary is very important.
Despite this, Ye Mo's experimental time is limited, and she still uses the mainstream formula of this world, and it does not count as a secondary innovation.
The solution is poured into the mold, cooled, and solidified into shape. A most primitive rectangular basic blank is completed. A simple test of its performance shows that it is a little worse than expected.
Put it aside for later use.
Ye Mo adjusted the formulation twice and finally produced a batch of good rectangular blanks.
The next process is the process of working in Master Ian's workshop, forging, quenching, scraping, grinding, etc. The sword body is taking shape bit by bit.
The first difficult process is the quenching process.
Quenching is to quickly heat the surface of the workpiece, so that the surface reaches the quenching temperature before the heat is transferred to the inside in large quantities, and then quickly quench it, thereby obtaining a heat treatment process with an unbalanced structure.
This process can improve the hardness, wear resistance and fatigue strength of the sword body, as well as the toughness of the sword core.
The difficulty lies in controlling the fire.
Ye Mo has repeated the second most difficult grinding countless times in his mind, and the stone carving at least ten times. No other auxiliary tools are needed for carving, only a black crystal stone knife.
Mental control perfectly assists, and the whole process is very smooth.
If there was still a little doubt about Ye Mo before, now when seeing this carving process like flowing water, Miranda had to admire that there really is a super genius.
Anyway, she couldn't do it, and she couldn't imagine that she could do this at this age.
It's amazing.
The smoother the process, the shorter the carving time. Ye Mo carved three different wind magic arrays in a row before stopping, closing his eyes to rest for a moment, and then continuing to repeat the carving work.
He drank another bottle of high-end magic potion.
…
Magic processing is the last step.
Solvents are not a problem, but it consumes a lot of crystal cores. The poor Ye Mo not only plans to go the boutique route, but also plans to go to the small workshop next door to rent a magic array they are working on.
Miranda stopped him: "Wait!"
The small boss Miranda craftsman who couldn't bear to watch planned to invest in a magic array to process these low, medium and high quality swords, and then collect rewards from the products.
Ye Mo said sincerely: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'm shocked by your strength. You are worthy of my investment, Maria." Miranda praised sincerely.
Three different clover plant solvents and three different purple marrow mineral solvents were used. Clover plant solvents tend to make agile weapons, while purple marrow minerals prefer power weapons.
Magic array configuration: 1 level 5 wind crystal core, 5 level 3 wind crystal cores, and 20 level 1 wind crystal cores.
Ye Mo soaked the first sword in a medium-concentration clover plant solvent.
Put it in the array.
Hold your breath and wait.
"Success! The first wind-type light sword is intermediate, very good." Miranda clenched his fist happily. It felt good to see the weapon being completed bit by bit.
Ye Mo raised his lips, "It's just intermediate level, they are still far behind Master Ian."
He couldn't help but stab the sword.
'The strength attribute is ⊕1 and the agility attribute is ⊕3, which is much worse than Master Ian. The pattern on the sword is a bit ugly, and there is a hook in the magic array that is not round enough. The scabbard has not been made yet! '
There are a lot of self-complaints in my mind, but I can't suppress the smile on my face. I'm really happy!
...
The second time, Ye Mo tried to soak the high-concentration purple marrow mineral solvent, but after the sword entered the array, it couldn't withstand the magic power and broke into two pieces, which meant that her advanced sword forging failed.
There is a little disappointment, but there is no frustration. This result is already good.
Ye Mo continued to reflect on himself: "This shows that I still have a lot of room for improvement. Keep going!"
Swords came out one after another.
The best sword has reached the upper-middle level, 3 intermediate swords, 7 primary swords, and while the magic power of the monster crystal core is still there, another intermediate sword and 3 primary swords are quickly made.
The magic power of the monster crystal core has been squeezed out to the last drop, which is really very economical.
Miranda: "..."
Compared with the sword body, the scabbard is much simpler to make.
Ye Mo, a patient with strong syndrome, used a mold to make some dark patterns on the scabbard that have no special function, purely for beauty, so that the crystal core is not wasted and can be inlaid as an ornament.
During the test of the sword, Ye Mo silently counted the data.
Primary swords can often only increase one attribute value (strength ⊕ 1, or agility ⊕ 1). An intermediate sword may increase one attribute value (agility ⊕ 3), or rarely two attribute values (agility ⊕ 3 and strength ⊕ 1), and begin to have a little wind attribute.
"..."
Speechless, Miranda answered the current market price of weapons: "High-level swords are 15 gold coins or more, intermediate swords are 5 to 10 gold coins, and primary swords are 1 to 3 gold coins."
A very reasonable price.
The upper-middle-level sword worth 9 gold coins is exactly the size of a goblin, so Ye Mo kept it for himself, and a mid-level sword worth 7 gold coins must also be left because of the size.
The remaining cost is 2 gold coins + 255 silver coins + 243 silver coins ≈ 7 gold coins. The rest is sold to Miranda in a package. The price will of course be cheaper than the market price.
In short, 18 gold coins are obtained in the end.
It must be emphasized that -
[During the test process, Ye Mo also found an important problem. The system can only stack the attribute points of the same equipment three times at most. If the number exceeds three, the three strongest equipment will be used. The equipment of the remaining weapons can be used, but no more attributes will be added. 】
【For example, dagger, fire axe, and palm spike shoes are exactly three pieces of equipment. Now sword, bow, and dagger can also be grouped into three pieces. Sword, bow, dagger, and palm spike shoes together, only three of them are taken, and the remaining attributes are not superimposed, which is equivalent to ordinary weapon equipment. 】
"The system cheats limit it."
This is something that is expected and understandable, otherwise Ye Mo can dress himself up as an equipment box, infinitely superimpose strength, and then the dungeon battle is a competition of weapons.
...
Strike while the iron is hot.
Ye Mo drank the last bottle of high-level magic potion, bought a batch of new ore raw materials, as well as 1 level 5 wind crystal core, 5 level 3 wind crystal cores, 20 level 1 wind crystal cores, etc.
Start making wind bows and arrows.
The bow and arrow must be made separately and then combined. Separating the bow and arrow separately is not simpler than making a sword, and the difficulty of this combination is greater than 1+1.
Therefore, Ye Mo spent twice as much time as making a sword.
Finally, he finally made 1 intermediate bow (agility attribute ⊕ 3), 5 primary bows (agility attribute ⊕ 1), and 5 intermediate arrows and 12 primary arrows, as well as a bunch of ordinary iron arrows without attributes. The
coordination between the bow and arrow is all above good, and Miranda praised her talent in combining weapons.
As for the bowstring, the most common one is the tendon of Warcraft. Ye Mo bought a 4th-level magic tiger tendon from the goblin for 1 gold coin. She planned to keep the intermediate bow and intermediate arrows for her own use, so she bought a relatively better tendon.
Keep 6 primary arrows and a small half of ordinary arrows, and sell the remaining 4 primary bows and arrows of normal size.
Although the result was a little low this time, the bow was a little higher than the sword in the market price, at least there was no loss. After adding and subtracting the gold coins Ye Mo got in the end, he now has a total of 23 gold coins in his bank account.
Miranda checked the two weapons and found no problems. She praised: "Maria, you will definitely have your own workshop in the near future!"
"Craftsman Miranda, I am very happy to receive your award."
Ye Mo was not overwhelmed by the gold coins. The equipment of the Goblin workshop is usually completed by the craftsmen themselves, or by asking senior craftsmen to help. It is not something that can be built with 18 gold coins. She will only be in this world for 100 days, so building a workshop is not counted.
"I hope we can cooperate again if there is a chance."
"If my equipment is free, of course! I will also tell my friends and all the neighbors that we have a little goblin genius recently." Miranda nodded with a smile.
It is not necessary to do that later.
Ye Mo:
"...Thank you."
...
Ye Mo went back to the small dark room and had a good sleep.
The next day, he was woken up by his neighbor Lina, "Maria, Uncle Peter said that someone from the ground came to the shop to look for you."
Ye Mo, with messy hair, blinked twice, and his mind came to his senses. He realized that she was talking about Peter, the owner of the craftsman shop on the ground, and the people on the ground should refer to the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group.
Ah, it has been four days since I separated from them, and I have no time to learn swordsmanship and bow and archery.
"I heard that Maria has become a qualified craftsman. That's amazing! I want to work harder too!" Lina's eyes are very big. A closer look reveals that they are actually very clear, and the admiration and envy she exudes are clear at a glance.
Ye Mo asked,
"Did Uncle Peter tell you?"
"No, no, no, it was Aunt Miranda." Lina shook her head quickly, "Aunt Miranda told Uncle Brant, and Uncle Brant is the manager of Living Area 1. He told everyone in Living Area 1, and the others..."
Is this any different from the gossips of the aunts, uncles, and uncles in the alleys of Beijing in the 1980s?
Lina also learned from Miranda that Ye Mo had made weapons to match the goblins. When she thought of Maria's parents, tears came and her eyes were wet.
She hesitated to speak, and finally did not ask anything, and said: "Maria, come on!"
"...Thank you."
