0299: I Can't Even Think About It.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, it is more than eight o'clock in the morning.
The carriage of the Backpackers Chamber of Commerce on the mountain was parked near Baihua Manor, that is, the steel workshop.
More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages transported Gan Tie over one after another, and the knights in the manor were responsible for unloading and moving the goods.
That's right, Takagi took people to the port last night and handed over Gan Tie from Joseph.
Qiao Ji took Lei Nai to the outside of the steel workshop, watching the bustling carriage team moving up and down.
Gao Mu saw the young man approaching, ran forward quickly, and said respectfully, "My lord, when transporting Gan Tie metal last night, no one noticed.
Entering the city from the west gate last night, Lai Hengqian, as usual, turned a blind eye, and things went smoothly.
Before dawn today, the horse-drawn carriages of the Chamber of Commerce for Transporting Carriers from the Mountain set off one after another, and it took four hours to transport Gan Tie.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let them have a good rest tonight. You can have extra meals. Just go to the Yellow Crane Tower for reimbursement." Yin Ji nodded and said.
After all, I went to the pier so late last night, and it was physical work to carry Gan Tie metal, and I had to send it out of the city before dawn today, so now it was a heavy load.
The little titans are very edible, and such a toss will consume a lot of energy, so it's okay to ask them to add meals.
"Thank you, Master." Takagi thanked happily, and turned to start the moving work.
Looking at the black metal piled up on the ground, Lei Nai asked curiously, "My lord, wouldn't it be too much of a loss to buy Gan Tie at the price of pig iron?"
The black cat girl wanted to ask last time why she bought some useless metals at such a high price.
"You'll find out after a while, this is the secret weapon of our Hundred Flowers Manor." Qiao Ji smiled and blinked one eye.
Lei Nai pursed his lips and nodded, picked up a piece of sweet iron, weighed it, and said, "It's quite light."
She picked up another piece of sweet iron and bumped it against each other, handed it over and said, "Look, my lord, it's sunken into a hole all at once."
"Hahaha.………"
Qiao Ji took Gan Tie to look at it, and said, "Otherwise, no one would want this metal, it's just that the hardness is not good enough, and it can't be forged into weapons."
"Yes." Lei Nai threw Gan Tie back.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Zenit Heishan stepped out of the steel workshop, quickly came to Qiao Ji, bowed and saluted, "Lord Earl."
He is a blacksmith in Black Mountain King's Hammer Blacksmith Shop, and his strength is considered to be in the top three, ranking second only to Black Hammer.
The reason why Zenit chose to leave Black Mountain King's Hammer Blacksmith was because he wanted to own a blacksmith of his own, and there was no way to get ahead by staying in the original place.
Koli Black Mountain is the biological son of Black Hammer, and he will also inherit the blacksmith shop of King Blackhammer in the future.
And Zenit is just the nephew of Black Hammer, and has no qualifications to inherit the blacksmith shop, no matter how powerful he is.
Last time he heard that Qiao Ji needed to recruit blacksmiths, so he wanted to give it a try, and found that it was really good here, "The treatment and the environment are better than those of Black Mountain Lord's Hammer Iron Xu.
Along with him were five blacksmiths, all of whom had a good relationship with Zenit, and their craftsmanship was also very strong.
"These are the new metals I told you about." Qiao Ji nodded slightly, pointing at a large pile of Gan Tie sideways.
"My lord, aren't these Gan Tie? In the eyes of us blacksmiths, no, in the eyes of many people, these are useless metals.
Zenit looked at the young man suspiciously, and asked respectfully, "What kind of weapon do you want to make with this metal?"
"Metal alone is definitely useless, but mixing it with pig iron will make a difference." Qiao Ji smiled mysteriously.
He bent down to pick up a piece of Gan Tie, handed it over, and said seriously, "You forge Gan Tie and pig iron at a ratio of 0.69 to 0.31, and you will understand what I want after you succeed."
Zenit was stunned for a moment, took a look at Gan Tie, and then raised his head and said, "Please wait a moment, my lord, I will try to use this ratio now."
"Go." Qiao Ji waved her hand calmly.
Zenit turned around and ran away from the spot.
"Ha ha ha H
Lei Nai looked at the dwarf who left, and remembered the confident look of the lord, so he understood a little bit.
A single metal cannot determine its value, but it can be fused with other metals, maybe it can forge better metals, and it can also exert better value.
"Pang, bang, bang..."
Half an hour after Zenit entered the steel workshop, bursts of intense iron smashing sound continued to come from the steel workshop, and the chimney continued to emit thick smoke.
More than an hour passed, and the dwarf ran out excitedly holding a piece of metal, and came to the boy step by step.
He was so excited that his hands trembled slightly, and he said in shock, "My lord, this piece of metal is the best metal I have ever seen."
...asking for flowers...
After the dwarves entered the steel workshop, they first melted the sugar iron and pig iron, and then mixed them according to the ratio given by the season.
Zenit waited until the two were completely mixed, then let them cool before forging, and a new alloy was produced in this way.
"It's very light, it's the metal I want." Qiao Ji weighed it in his hand a few times, and found that it was much, much lighter than steel.
He nodded in satisfaction and asked, "How hard is it? Have you tried it?"
"I've tried it, and it's more than three times that of ordinary steel. This mixed metal is definitely one of the highest-quality metals." Zenit was so excited that he spit.
It is better than new metal, but it is definitely not as cheap as new metal, and it is still many times cheaper.
"Have you ever tried mixing it with steel?" Qiao Ji asked.
"Not yet, but mixing with pig iron can produce such a high-quality metal. I don't think it will be bad when mixed with steel." Zenit speculated with professional technology.
He thought for a moment, then immediately said, "However, using steel would be very time-consuming and costly.
"Very good, then I will hand over this batch of Gan Tie to you, and then give me full production."
Qiao Ji patted the dwarf's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "This metal is called light steel alloy, and you all have to rot this matter in your stomach."
"Understood, we are absolutely loyal to the Earl." Zenit looked at the boy firmly.
He knew the importance of this metal, if it leaked out, the Earl would be surrounded by many nobles.
"Very good. After forging, send it to the hydraulic stamping machine to produce a batch of light steel alloy armor and weapons." Qiao Ji nodded.
He paused for a moment, and continued to order, "The light steel alloy mixed with steel and Gan iron will also be produced in batches."
This batch of armor made of high-quality new alloys can be worn by officers at that time.
In addition, such a good light steel alloy armor can also make those knights more motivated. May I ask which knight would refuse a good pair of armor?
"Don't worry, my lord, this matter will be left to us." Zenit patted his chest and said.
"After this matter is settled, I will arrange a flat for you in the inner city of the imperial capital, and work hard." Qiao Ji said seriously.
"Thank you sir." Zenit nodded excitedly.
He is already thirty years old, and he still can't afford to buy a house, and he can't even imagine owning a house in the inner city.
