The correct way to open the sprite

"What should we do with our current elven archers? Do we have to go there too?"

Anthony thought for a moment and said, "It depends on their own wishes."

"I see, I'll arrange it now."

"Ah."

Feng Yu specifically emphasized to Anthony that he wanted to find untrained recruits. Anthony initially thought this was Feng Yu's way of settling for the next best thing.

But today, when he saw Feng Yu's elf students helping the dwarves push the carts, Anthony realized deeply that maybe Feng Yu didn't like those elf warriors at all. What he wanted were unpolished recruits, not The elf patrol has formed a habit.

From the comparison of today's scenes, from Feng Yu's completely different attitude towards elves, dwarves and halflings, Anthony discovered that it was not Feng Yu who had a problem, but the elves.

Although the elves are not as domineering as the human nobles, their attitude has unconsciously created a distance from the dwarves and halflings.

Elves cannot be called indifferent, but they are indifferent after all. Especially when compared with halflings and dwarves, there will be a strong contrast. Although not all elves are like this, but think about those in the camp who are like halflings. , elves who get along well with dwarves are all enthusiastic elves like Nicole.

The other elves, however, all have a vague sense of distance from the halflings and dwarves. This has also caused the halflings and dwarves to gradually become alienated from them, leading to the current situation.

Anthony had to think about that question: Maybe, as Darren said, it was because of the elves themselves

Although the weapon experiment exposed some minor problems, overall it was quite successful and achieved Feng Yu's set goal, because Herbert had already brought the new recruits to join the training team.

But now there is a problem in front of Feng Yu, and that is the transportation capacity problem on the Lengshui River. Copper ingots and iron ingots are not light, not to mention that large machinery such as heavy steam engines may have to be transported in the future.

Manufacturing large wooden ships requires many professional steps and craftsmen. It is a very difficult and long project. Feng Yu definitely does not understand it. Moreover, because there are intelligent life in the oceans of this world, the shipbuilding industry is very underdeveloped. Especially for large transport ships, they usually rely on rafts to cross the river.

This is also the fundamental reason why the two great empires of mankind, the North and the South, stare at each other across the Green Water River.

Because of this, the strategic position of the Elf Forest at the source of the Green Water River is very important. This is a big reason why the two empires invaded the Elf Forest at the same time.

By occupying the Elven Forest, you can use the big forest as a springboard to bypass the natural chasm of the Green Water River and enter the heart of the enemy's country.

With machine tools, but lack of raw materials, Feng Yu had to step up to solve this problem.

He didn't tell others how he solved this problem because he was afraid that others wouldn't believe him.

Before that, he had to do a small experiment. If the experiment was successful, then he would be able to build a satisfactory large-tonnage ship, which was the explosion welding experiment.

There is no need for armor pieces forged repeatedly by dwarves, only iron plates poured with molten iron. If the edges of the iron plates can be melted by the ultra-high temperature generated after being ignited by the fury of the earth, and the welding process is completed, an iron ship can be made.

He does not need a battleship that can withstand the vibration of artillery, but only a flat-bottomed iron ship for transportation. This greatly reduces the need for the strength of the hull and makes this idea theoretically feasible.

Dick and the others watched Feng Yu spread the dangerous fury of the earth into the gap between two adjacent iron plates. However, the dwarves knew that because it was not a sealed space, there would be no danger from the explosive fury of the earth. , so they all stood around to see what genius design Feng Yu would come up with.

Feng Yu used a long wooden pole to ignite the Wrath of the Earth. The hot flame came out and burned rapidly along the gaps in the iron plate.

After cooling, Feng Yu cleaned the slag on the weld and observed the bonding condition of the weld. Because Feng Yu had already done experiments with small iron blocks before, the amount of Wrath of the Earth was just right. Although the weld was full of They are black impurities, but the metal can be seen with the naked eye that they are connected together.

Feng Yu dismissed the crowd, picked up the largest dwarf hammer, and smashed it against the weld.

An embarrassing thing happened. After a huge sound of gold and iron, the two iron plates broke into two original pieces along the weld.

He threw down the hammer and looked at the joint between the two iron plates. He found that many locations on the section were not melted, and the melted locations were all filled with black impurities and small bubbles.

Dick looked at Feng Yu, who was carefully observing the cross-section of the interface, and said, "Brother Darren, do you want to ignite the fury of the earth to generate high temperatures so that these two iron plates can be joined together?"

Feng Yu nodded and said, "That's right."

"Then why don't you just pour a bigger iron plate?"

"Because what I need is not just a flat iron plate, I need something like a huge basin."

Dick thought for a while and said: "Then why don't you just turn the mold upside down and pour it? We have iron basins made of metal here, which are also cast through molds, as well as large pots."

"Well, it is indeed feasible, but it will be difficult to pour if it is too big."

Dick nodded and said: "Yes, if it is too big, it will be difficult to pour, because the mold will be more difficult to make, but as long as you are careful and make an accurate mold, it will still be no problem, but it will be a little more troublesome.

However, even if you want to use the method of gluing iron plates to make what you want, why don't you go to Clarence Alchemist? For their alchemists, gluing two iron plates of ordinary materials should be very simple. It’s something about that”

"Oh my god, aren't alchemists preparing special alloys? How can they still do this job?"

Feng Yu was shocked.

When he is thinking about problems, he subconsciously ignores magic. This is the reason for Feng Yu's big tech chauvinism. He subconsciously considers how to use technology to solve problems. Unexpectedly, in the world of high magic, magic is the top force. It's not that useless.

"Yes, just like our steam engine, there are many joints that do not need to be disassembled. If the alchemist melts and seals them, the sealing will be improved.

I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I thought"

"Um, thanks, brother, next time you have such a good method, you must tell me earlier. Wait, I will find Clarence right now."

If the alchemist can solve the welding problem, then many of his ideas can be realized.

Feng Yu found a drilled gun barrel, connected it to the cutting machine, and cut the neat iron pipe into two sections. He took it in his hand and ran to Clarence's alchemy tent.
