Chapter 812: The Main Point Is to Relax

In the first month of winter, the village of the wood elves had been completely conquered by the winter equipment of their Great Zhou.

Is this winter really colder than in previous years?

In fact, it is not, but the wood elves today have become accustomed to the existence of winter clothes and heaters.

With the comparison, the coldness that was originally bearable gradually became unbearable.

It is not that the weather has become colder, but that their tolerance for cold has decreased.

It is not only the wood elves who have this feeling. In fact, the people of the Great Zhou, and even Zhou Xu himself, will have this situation more or less.

After the living conditions have improved, if one day they return to the pre-liberation period, who can get used to it?

However, such a comfortable life is destined to require a lot of money to support it.

Let’s not talk about other things first, just talk about the anthracite that is burned every day. This is the most expensive coal in the Great Zhou. The wood elves dislike the smoke of poor coal, so they directly purchase the highest quality and most expensive anthracite on the market at that time.

After winter, the whole village is using it. The anthracite bought before winter is almost gone.

If they want to use it until the beginning of next spring, they have to purchase it again.

The expenditure on anthracite will most likely become the biggest consumption point of the wood elves this winter!

During this period, the first batch of ore mined in the mining field of the basin forest was officially shipped out of the mine today and sent to the ordnance forging department in Xianyang City.

In front of the scorching forging furnace, Li Gan waved the forging hammer in his hand as usual, forging the iron block that was as dazzling as the sun. Every time the hammer fell, a large piece of iron flowers would splash.

After completing another round of forging, Li Gan stopped and looked up at the members who had been standing by for a while.

"What's the matter?"

"Minister, the diamond mentioned before has been delivered."

Today, Li Gan has been promoted to minister with his outstanding personal ability.

At this time, hearing the report from his subordinates, Li Gan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Long before, under the arrangement of their majesty, Li Gan had already mastered the method of smelting crystal iron. The iron block he was folding and forging just now was a piece of crystal iron that was infused with acerphite.

He wanted to try to forge a piece of crystal iron into patterned steel.

So far, things are going very smoothly.

But now the appearance of diamonds has undoubtedly brought new variables to his arrangement, and it is even possible that his previous work has become useless.

However, Li Gan was not upset at all, and he was only curious and excited about the new ore!

He didn't need to say much, his subordinates had already brought a basket of diamonds to him.

Picking up one of them, Li Gan rubbed the surface of the diamond with his fingertips, feeling the texture of the diamond.

The diamond was cold to the touch, but it was different from the coldness of iron.

Although no refining has been carried out yet, some areas of the original ore have already presented a silky touch, which makes Li Gan feel very novel.

[According to your majesty, adding diamonds to forging can effectively improve the hardness of weapons. The specific smelting method should be basically the same as that of crystal iron. The focus now is on how to grasp this ratio during the smelting process. ]

[In addition, you can slowly try to smelt with anything else. For now, you should try to add diamonds to steel first, and then try to melt steel, sharp stone and diamond together and forge them into patterned steel. ]

At this moment, Li Gan's thoughts are still very clear.

"Let's try to melt diamonds and steel first. Which group has a lighter workload now?"

"Group five."

"Then call Group five over and let them cooperate in trial and error."

There is not much technical content in the trial and error of the ratio. It mainly depends on time and manpower.

As long as there are enough people, the formulas of various ratios can be smelted at the same time and the results can be obtained in the shortest time.

Li Gan is undoubtedly planning to do this at this moment.

The whole process is tedious, boring and laborious, but Li Gan is indeed enjoying it.

During this period, Zhou Xu showed some concern for the progress here, but he did not keep asking questions.

After all, he knew that this was a time-consuming thing in itself, and his constant questioning would not have any positive effect. Instead, it would easily put pressure on his subordinates and increase the probability of messing up things.

In this way, facing these things, Zhou Xu's usual style was to relax and believe that his subordinates could get things done.

Undoubtedly, Zhou Xu was still very confident in Li Gan, the forging master.

After handing over this task, he basically didn't care about it, and focused all his energy on the government affairs that he needed to worry about.

During this period, of course, the study of the mantra was not left behind.

There is a reason why his research efficiency is slow in the mantra.

It's not that he is lazy, but because in the process of perceiving, observing, analyzing and studying a mantra, the mantra power in his body will be constantly consumed.

This leads to a situation, that is, every time he conducts in-depth research, he has to spend ten days and a half months to restore the mantra power in his body.

This was the case when he was holding back and not letting his mantra power be seriously consumed or overdrawn.

Once overdrawn, under the drag of negative influence, he now needs at least a month to recover.

"Hu——"

In the quiet bedroom, Zhou Xu, sitting on the bed, opened his eyes with a long breath. At this moment, his face full of fatigue, but he showed an excitement that he could not suppress at all.

"Success, I finally succeeded!"

Just now, he finally cracked a mantra character completely, and then restored it.

In this process, the existence of the "Peeping Eyes" played a crucial role.

This pair of eyes that can peek into secrets greatly improved his analytical ability.

Afterwards, a simple test was conducted, and the mantra character can still play the same effect as before!

What does this mean? This means that as long as he restores the "program" to its original state after the cracking, it can continue to operate normally.

Although it is not ruled out that some old Deng added the "self-destruction" design when writing the program, but at least for now, apart from those mantras that are seriously anti-spying, most of the mantras on him can be studied with confidence!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu also completely relaxed.

The next second, his body fell backwards, and he began to snore. The exhaustion brought by the massive consumption of the power of the mantra dragged him into a dream in the blink of an eye...
