Volume 1 Chapter 71 (1/2)

You want to rebel?

After thinking about it, the dwarf Murru narrated the process he used to make this iron ball.

In the process he described, Xu Yi kept asking him things to clarify, not even letting go of what temperature he used when he was forging this thing.

“This…..Temperature?” Murru scratched his chaotic hair and was a bit confused, “Chairman Xu, you mean that there are many kinds of flames? I don’t know about this, I can only tell you that the flames were normal when I refined it and it wasn’t that strong.”

Xu Yi felt a bit helpless. The Sines Continent didn’t extensively collect data like on earth. This could become a major flaw in developing an industrial system, so it seemed like he had to think of a way to solve this problem.

Of course, this problem was for later, what was most important was the iron ball in his hand right now.

After questioning Murru several times, Xu Yi didn’t have a way to obtain a satisfactory answer. Finally, he could only ask Murru to repeat the refinement of that day.

Hearing that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s chairman Xu Yi found the iron ball Murru refined interesting, the other dwarves that had been experimenting all came over.

When faced with everyone, Murru thought about it for a while before lighting up a furnace.

The first half followed the normal forging process and Xu Yi didn’t see anything special. Only when the iron liquid in the forge began to bubble, Murru picked up a can filled with silver sparkling dust that he poured in, causing the situation in the forge to change instantly.

When this can of silver leaves was poured in, it instantly fused with the iron liquid inside the forge. After a while, the iron liquid that had been bubbling because of the high temperature began to churn even stronger, as a trace of silver light filled the completely red iron liquid.

The process of forging was rather boring and Siluka was worried that Xu Yi would be bored watching it. But he found that Xu Yi had been staring at the iron liquid inside the forge from the beginning, almost not even blinking. His face looked very focus and his heart was filled with curiosity.

This chairman Xu Yi, why did he care about this strange so called alloy so much?

Xu Yi came to the dwarven tribe in the afternoon and after the molten iron in the forge finished refining, it was already night.

During this time, Xu Yi had been by the forge the entire time. Other than going to the washroom once, he actually hadn’t moved at all.

Other than this, he even took out a notebook. During the entire process, he recorded the order and amount of materials added by Murru one by one.

When the molten iron cooled, it gradually formed a sphere inside a mold. Xu Yi carefully looked over this iron ball and found that this iron ball really wasn’t that much different from the iron ball from before. This confirmed that Murru really followed his process last time.

Seeing that it was late, Siluka wanted to invite Xu Yi back to the tribe for dinner, but was directly rejected by Xu Yi.

They had discovered a new alloy with great difficulty, Xu Yi was currently filled with excitement. His passion as a mechanical engineer had burst forth, naturally he wasn’t willing to leave at this time.

So Siluka called his clansmen to bring dinner here. The dwarves ate with Xu Yi while conducting all kinds of tests on the iron ball based on Xu Yi’s requests.

After a series of tests, Xu Yi had finally confirmed that this strange alloy formed from adding silver leaves wasn’t that good in terms of firmness, but its ductility and plasticity could match normal alloys from earth. It was generally much stronger than the pig iron refined on the Sines Continent.

The more important thing was the alloy with silver leaves had been in the corner for close to two months, but there wasn’t a single trace of rust on it.

Even without having to do any rust treatment, it had the nature of stainless steel!

Xu Yi held the iron ball that had been deformed after his experiments and his heart was filled with excitement.

The reason he came to the dwarven tribe this time was actually to contact other dwarven tribes through chief Siluka, bringing even more dwarves back to his magic machine workshop. He never expected these dwarves had unexpected made this kind of new alloy.

Even without appraising it first, Xu Yi was certain that this new alloy that he had temporarily named the Silver Leaf Alloy could not be used in heavy magic machines because of its hardness, but it would be very useful in producing household magic machines.

For example, for the new Magic Rick Cooker they had been focusing on making, if they used this alloy, the Magic Rice Cooker would be much lighter.

Just based on this, the Magic Rice Cooker would become even more popular.
