Chapter 34 I'll Mess with You From Now On!
As I said before, Plandal has no uniform weights and measures, every race and every place has its own set of weights and measures.
Edgar alone knew there were at least three.
The results of the inconsistency of weights and measures Edgar was very clear, very confusing, and he had to re-familiarize himself everywhere.
And above that, there is no reference frame available.
Not to mention things like scales, not even the simplest ruler.
Therefore, to evaluate whether a blacksmith is a good blacksmith, there is a key factor, that is, whether the blacksmith can make weapons easily.
What is called the hand?
That is, the size meets the requirements of the employer.
However, the result of the lack of accurate measuring tools is that this size depends on the experience of the blacksmith.
But now, Dunn came up with such a simple tool to solve this problem.
If you combine this ruler with the three views that Dunn mentioned before, the effect is not so simple, but a huge change!
"Understood...I understand!"
Brian's eyes widened: "Big brother! You solved a big problem!"
Tang En waved his hand very modestly: "Fuck luck..."
The corner of Brian's mouth twitched, he felt that Dunn's expression was very flat!
After knowing the function of the meter ruler, of course Brian knew what the big problem Dunn said was, so the three of them started to re-adjust the size.
"Cut down a little more over there... By the way, big brother, let's discuss, do you still have Orkin? Get me some?"
"Give."
Dunn said nothing, took out an arcane ingot from the package and threw it to Brian.
Then Brian was dumbfounded.
Then Brian knelt down to Dunn.
Arcanite Ingot... This is Arcanite Ingot...
I threw it out without blinking...
Who the hell is this guy!
The royal family of the Empire of Humanity can't be so extravagant!
Did he really rob the dragon's lair! ?
"Big brother! You are really my big brother!"
Brian burst into tears: "I'll mess with you in the future!"
Even in the kingdom of dwarves, it is not so easy to get such a large piece of arcane. Brian can see it. If he mixes with Dunn, he will never be stingy with such good materials in the future.
With these good materials, I am afraid that I will not be able to become a master, a great master! ?
Dunn patted Brian's head kindly: "This is the right choice."
Dunn just started in Ellington, just when he needed talents. Now he can buy Brian, a member of the dwarf royal family, with a single arcane ingot, which is definitely a guaranteed profit!
Not to mention an Arcane Ingot, he just wants a set of Arcane Ingots, and a set of Eternal Gold Ingots is also worth it!
Edgar looked at the Arcanite ingot in Brian's hand with admiration. It was Arkansas, and he wanted it too!
Tang En glanced at him, thought for a while, then took out an arcane ingot and threw it to Edgar: "Do it well in the future."
Edgar instantly wanted to sell his life to Dunn, but...
Brian patted Edgar's thigh and said kindly, "As an apprentice, should you honor your master if you have something good?"
Edgar felt bad and hugged the Arcanite Ingot tightly: "Wait! When did you say you agreed to accept me as your apprentice?"
"Just now - as your master, I don't think you can use the material like Aojin yet, it is a waste in your hands, or leave it to my master to keep it - you bastard! Why are you holding it so tightly!? You want to disobey the master!? Give it to me!"
"No! No one! This arcane ingot is mine - not even the master!"
Brian and Edgar twisted together, especially Brian, because of his height, he couldn't snatch the Auchin ingot from Edgar, and he jumped in anger.
"Big brother! Are you just watching him smash the precious Aojin ingots!?"
Dunn shrugged: "I've already sent it out anyway... Besides, it's just auspicious gold ingots, why are you so excited."
Aojin Ingot is "just"! ?
Could it be that he still has Hengjin in his hand! ?
Brian got angry when he saw Dunn like this. Why does this guy have so many good things in his hand!
Brian thumped his chest for a while, these materials, only in the hands of their dwarves can exert their greatest value, it is a waste in his hands!
"I said, are you still going to work?"
Tang En raised his eyebrows: "If you don't do any work, return the Aojin ingot to me."
"Do it! I do it!"
Edgar and Bryan didn't care about fighting each other, and immediately started to work.
With the encouragement of Aojin Ingot, the work efficiency of the two has improved a lot. Coupled with Tang En's guidance, the parts of the punching machine were quickly adjusted and completely assembled.
Looking at the slightly rough punching machine in front of him, Tang En couldn't help feeling overwhelmed.
This is the beginning of the Prandal Industry - not a steam engine, but a punching machine that uses magic directly...
"Come and try it!"
Brian geared up: "I have prepared iron ingots."
They placed the iron ingot above the bottom die and stuck it, then stuck the bottom of the ram on the top die, then Dunn put a magic crystal in the side card slot of the punch, and placed his hand on the On the switch: "Are you ready?"
"All right!"
Brian and Edgar both stared at the iron ingot.
Tang En took a deep breath. Whether it can be successful or not depends on it!
On!
The Gravity Amplification Magic Array absorbs magic power, acts on the ram above, cancels the effect of the ram's constant floatation, and then...
"Bang!"
The adamantine ram suddenly fell, the smooth bottom smashed hard on the iron ingot, and then floated into the air again, and then fell...
After a few times, Dunn closed the magic circle of the punching machine, and the three of them got together.
Tear off the squished iron sheet next to it, and lying in the center is the embryo of a sickle!
Brian took out the blank, the blank that had just been punched was still a little bit lying, but he didn't care at all, just stared at the blank with shining eyes.
"It's all in one, evenly distributed, as long as the blade is opened, it's a good sickle!"
Brian turned to look at Dunn: "Big brother, you have changed the entire forging industry in Plandal!"
"No, it didn't change an industry," Dunn grinned, "it created an era."
That's right, what is about to kick off is the combination of magic and technology, which only belongs to the industrial age of Plandal!
After confirming that the punching machine was working properly, Tang En and the others worked hard to assemble the cutting machine and the grinder. The sickle blank punched out by the punching machine was shaped by the cutting machine, and then the grinder was used. After the polishing is completed, it has become bright.
Edgar tried it and was very excited: "Lord Lord, the quality of this sickle is already very good!"
Tang En nodded slightly. Although this sickle is not as good as the one made by Brian himself, don't forget, how long did it take for it to change from an iron ingot to a sickle, and it took only a few breaths to complete it!
If Brian were to make it manually, although the quality would be better, I'm afraid he wouldn't even think about doing anything else this day.
In the case of large-scale requirements, temporary quality needs to give way to efficiency, and with the improvement of basic industries in the future, the quality requirements will be gradually improved.
Edgar was very excited: "With the help of these three machines, as long as the molds, iron ingots, and more than 1,500 sets of farm implements are made, I'm afraid it will be completed in two days!"
"The efficiency is really amazing, but big brother, these three machines use magic crystals, right? How long can a magic crystal last?"
Tang En said with a smile: "Don't worry, the magic circle is very efficient, and I have added an energy-saving function, which will automatically cut off the magic power supply when not in use, so it saves magic crystals. When fully loaded, an ordinary magic crystal Can work continuously for thirty days."
"Thirty days!?"
Brian widened his eyes and counted with his fingers: "An ordinary magic crystal is worth 100 gold coins, and if you work for 15 days, it can produce nearly 20,000 sickles and one sickle in 30 days. It is worth ten silver coins, so the output is... two thousand gold coins!? The beard of the hammer! This is simply a huge profit!"
Dunn laughed, the impact of the industrial revolution on traditional craftsmen was most vividly shown in Brian, but...
"Actually it can't be calculated like this, you haven't considered a few issues," Dunn reminded Brian, "For example, the cost of my research and development of the punching machine cutting machine, and the impact on the market after a large number of sickles entered the market, the price of the sickle It is bound to fall, and in fact, it would be good to have a thousand gold coins in the final profit.”
"You are still not satisfied with more than a thousand gold coins a month!"
Brian shouted: "If I could have a hundred gold coins a month, I would be smiling! I can drink ale until I vomit!"
Tang En said with a smile: "Considering that there are only more than 1,000 farmers in Ellington, the market will be saturated immediately, and it is impossible to make money. To make money with these things, we must transport the things we produce. Go out and sell to other parts of the empire, or even to other countries. But anyway, it's sure to make money."
It's still too early to think about transporting things out. The traffic conditions in Plandal are terrible, and it takes a lot of time for a caravan to travel back and forth between the two towns.
Therefore, if he really wants to make money, he still has to wait for him to develop the mint products. With such small commodities as a base, coupled with these high-quality and cheap agricultural tools, it is worth a caravan's trip.
If Fiona knew the good news, she would probably be overjoyed.
She has always wanted to revive the Golden Rose family.
When the time comes, let Fiona be in charge of the caravan. Dunn thought about it for a while, and decided so simply.
