Chapter 22 Trading with the Sea Clan

The sudden change shocked everyone.

"Ahem..." Li Xian got up pale.

Just now, Li Xian was really terrified. The sudden explosion was very powerful. If he hadn't been protected by the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage, he would have been seriously injured.

"What's going on here?" Everyone was puzzled and panicked. In a panic, Li Xian was injured.

Li Xian was supported by Tang Rong to sit down, seeing everyone nervous, he suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, everyone. Ahem... do research, there will be many such things. Let's take it as a cough... a lesson.

The reason is also very simple, the small spirit gathering array can no longer meet the energy demand of the engine, so cracking occurs. "

"So that's the case, then create a bigger spirit gathering array." Everyone proposed this solution without even thinking about it.

Li Xian shook his head, "This can only solve the problem temporarily, but it cannot solve the problem forever. Have you ever thought that the current engine has reached the design power of 10 horsepower, so what about in the future?

In the future, the engine will exceed 100 horsepower, 1000 horsepower, or even 10,000 horsepower. At that time, how should we describe the spirit-gathering array? "

"This..." Li Xian's words made everyone distressed. Yes, if the engine reaches 1,000 horsepower, is it necessary to carry a millstone to make a spirit gathering array? That's so unrealistic.

"Use spirit stones as power!" Tang Rong said, "a low-level spirit stone is ten times that of ordinary spirit gathering formations. However, a spirit stone can only be used for one hour. And the Great Xia Kingdom can hardly buy spirits." stone."

Lingshi? Li Xian heard this name again. This spirit stone was said to be everywhere in ancient times, but now it has become a rare treasure. If you get a defective spirit stone, you will be killed. Even Li Yulong couldn't get a single spirit stone.

But the word "spiritual stone" made Li Xian think of "battery" and "energy block"; if he could get a spiritual stone as a reference and research an "artificial spiritual stone", then...

It's exciting just thinking about it. So, how to get the first Lingshi? By the way, Dragon Palace! If he spends a huge price, he should be able to exchange for one or even a few spirit stones.

Youdao said that he came as soon as he said it, and when Li Xian was feeling emotional here, Song Xing came in to inform, saying: The envoy sent by the Hai clan has come, and they have come to Li Xian's Qingyun Valley.

The envoy of the Sea Clan, could it be the legendary Prime Minister Turtle? Li Xian has a lot of bad taste and inexplicable expectations in his head.

In the end, Li Xian was disappointed. It was not the legendary Prime Minister Turtle, but a real human race, middle-aged, looking a bit vicissitudes, and with an indescribable coercion-this is a late foundation-building period. Master!

"My servant, Wei Zhe, is here on behalf of the Hai Clan."

"Senior Wei, is there a blueprint or sample of the weapon?"

Wei Zhe handed out a jade slip, "Everything is here, including the silk thread spiritual materials, minerals, etc., and weapon styles that the Sea Clan can provide now."

Li Xian took the jade slips and was about to check them, but Xu Ren suddenly said, "Master, let me take a look first?"

"Please, sir."

After Xu Ren inspected it, he passed it on to Li Xian; Li Xian then inspected it. Wei Zhe on the opposite side didn't seem to show any displeasure.

In fact, Xu Ren's actions are the same as testing poison, and the jade slip can also be manipulated, especially when facing the legendary existence of the Dragon Clan, it is better to be careful.

Looking at the jade slips, Li Xian was overjoyed. There was a silk thread called "fire spider" in it. It turns out that the ocean area is vast, and there are countless large and small islands, and these islands are basically the territory of the Sea Clan. It should be said that in order to trade with Li Xian, the Hai Clan also collected a lot of things. It's just that the price of many good things is extremely high, almost twice to ten times that of sea soul silk, and there are even several second-order (Golden Core stage) spiritual power silk threads.

But from the list of these materials, Li Xian keenly discovered a hidden message: the sea people attach great importance to stainless steel! It is estimated that the Haizu themselves would not have imagined that because they were too anxious and focused on listing all the materials with all their strength, the shrewd Li Xian discovered this hidden information!

After reading all the materials calmly, and then all the strange weapons, Li Xian put down the jade slips. "Senior Wei, there are no problems with the weapons. Even a three-foot-long trident can be perfectly crafted by us."

"That's great." Wei Zhe obviously added a little smile.

But Li Xian suddenly sighed, "But seniors, it's a little difficult for you to ask for 1 million jin of stainless steel weapons this time. We can only produce 5,000 jin of stainless steel a day, which is already our maximum limit. And forging weapons , Especially for excellent weapons, it takes almost 5 catties of iron to forge a long sword weighing about 2 catties.

It will take about two years for 1 million catties of weapons. "

"It takes so long?" Wei Zhe was taken aback, thinking it would only take three to five months. But Li Xian was right. Excellent weapons need to be repeatedly folded and forged, and finally the so-called "fine iron" is left.

Seeing this, Li Xian immediately said: "Senior Wei, we have a way to speed up the production of 'stainless element'. But it may...need some spirit stones. I wonder if the Sea Clan is willing to sell spirit stones, the price is easy to say. As long as there is A low-level spirit stone can extract the stainless element needed for a 10,000-jin weapon."

Li Xian opened his eyes and spoke nonsense. Stainless steel? This is an absolute hoax. But Li Xian didn't know that the three words he said here today made countless practitioners think about it-is stainless steel a magical thing!

But right now, Wei Zhe squinted at Li Xian for a long time, "If I give you ten spirit stones, how long will it take to complete the forging?"

"Within five months, if all goes well, it can be completed in four months."

"Okay! I will add ten spirit stones to you, and cancel ten catties of sea soul silk."

"Yes!" Li Xian almost gritted his teeth and endured it—sooner or later, I will earn tens of thousands of spirit stones from the Sea Clan.

So, in this transaction, Li Xian got ten spirit stones and 190 catties of sea soul silk. It's just that Li Xian extravagantly cut off 100 catties of sea soul silk in exchange for 30 catties of other spiritual silk threads.

Wei Zhe left immediately, promising to deliver everything within ten days at the latest. Li Xian also started to get busy here. The first is - upgrade the machine tool.

The sea people are all huge people, and the biggest weapons this time are five three-foot-long tridents, which are the weapons of Yasha patrolling the sea.

A trident has a diameter of one foot, and the three forks in front are also as thick as a thigh, weighing about 150,000 catties! Just these five tridents weighed more than 700,000 catties!

In order to forge such a weapon, one must hurry up and upgrade the machine tool, otherwise it will really take two years to forge it by hand!

Everyone began to be busy making simple grinding and forging machine tools. The craftsmen were already very proficient and had accumulated enough technology; bearings, spindles, workbenches, engines, etc. were all prepared .

In order to facilitate the straight movement of machine tool tools, Li Xian proposed a solution of screw rod. The rotation of the screw rod is used to realize the horizontal movement of the grinding tool, and a smooth guide rod is used to maintain the stability of the tool. In this way, let alone a three-foot trident, even a five-foot trident can be processed.

Use machine tools to process new parts and assemble new machine tools. At this moment, Li Xian's industry began to really embark on the road of expansion—machines produce machines, although they are still very primitive.

The smelting branch and the machinery branch were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. The craftsmen, or rather skilled workers, were all smiling, and the rewards from Li Xian flowed into their pockets like flowing water.

Coupled with cheating spells, in just seven days, Li Xian saw the birth of a large-scale processing machine tool, a machine tool capable of processing three-foot tridents. Although the machine tool is driven by a few engines with only 5 horsepower, the efficiency of the machine tool is terrible, and the precision of the machine tool can make people laugh, but the trident for processing cold weapons is also enough.

Perhaps the only satisfactory thing about this machine tool is a few cutting tools tempered with true essence during the foundation building period and attached with formations. I have to say that with the stuff of comprehension, it is almost as convenient as cheating in many cases.

Of course, the so-called appalling efficiency and the accuracy of laughing at the teeth are in Li Xian's eyes; the workers don't see it that way.

When everyone saw this huge machine tool with their own eyes, it only took an hour to complete the processing of a test iron column, and the workshop immediately became a sea of ​​joy. Even Xu Ren, a counselor, was inexplicably shocked when he saw such a machine tool.

After celebrating in the morning, Xu Ren stopped the excited Li Xian in the afternoon, "Master, then Wei Zhe should be returning soon. I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Li Xian was still immersed in excitement.

"Young Master, people like Wei Zhe who serve the Monster and Sea Clans are not accepted by everyone; therefore, be careful when interacting with them, and don't be too intimate."

"I see. Thank you sir for reminding me."
