my magic industry

Chapter 37 The Dwarf Master
With the support of Her Royal Highness Princess Dorothea, the benefits for Xia Lin are extremely huge.

The first income Xia Lin received was a letter from His Majesty the Seventeenth Emperor Sassen.

With this, the library of the Royal Academy of Magic opened its doors to him.

The second benefit is that from now on, Xia Lin has the big tree of the imperial family behind him, and his industrial park can barely be regarded as a part of the royal family's industry. If coupled with the power of the enlightened nobles led by the emperor, he can completely Confidently develop industrial parks.

Compared with the 25% shares that Xia Lin paid for this invisible income, it is difficult to tell whether it is a loss or a gain, but Xia Lin feels that if he can build a relationship with the royal family, he will definitely make a profit without losing money.

The third benefit is a group of 15 royal craftsmen, all of whom are skilled carpenters.

They come from the royal property under the name of the queen, and they will fully follow Xia Lin's instructions to build various appliances for him, and Xia Lin does not need to be responsible for the salary.

The fourth income was a huge investment of [-] gold lents provided by the imperial daughter and the Huozia family.

And the fifth income is the short and stocky dwarf master Xia Lin saw in front of him, with slightly gray hair and beard in brownish red messily braided into whips, and the smell of wine and sweat all over his body, Orr Gold Bronze Beard.

"What factory? I haven't heard of it. Where did the little mage come from? Why did the imperial military let you come to me? They don't know that apart from those elves who can only shoot arrows, I hate you guys who hide in the distance and cast spells the most in my life." Is it a chick?"

Orgin Bronzebeard was not at all interested in what Xia Lin said about the factory, and it was not even as attractive as the ale in his hand.

It was only after communicating with His Royal Highness that Xia Lin found out that the imperial blacksmith of the empire, the president of the blacksmith guild was a 240-year-old dwarf master, and even the fine gold armor of King Sassen XVII was personally forged by him. .

For the superb skills of this dwarf master, the empire specially promulgated the law prohibiting dwarf slaves, and at the same time all the previous dwarf slaves were released to become the residents of this unprecedented dwarf viscount.

These dwarves lived in the Furnace Valley in the Black Mountain on the north side of the imperial capital. They were mining and smelting, drinking and forging every day.

After hearing the news, Xia Lin was naturally very excited. After all, dwarves are legendary born miners and blacksmiths.

Although it is not clear about their specific level, but based on their lifespan three or four times longer than humans, they must have good craftsmanship.

Now that there is a group of middle and senior fitters with 400 to [-] people, what mechanical parts do you want to process?

But even Her Royal Highness has no command over these dwarves. She can only provide a military certificate to allow Xia Lin to enter the dwarf settlement, but Xia Lin still has to say (hu) subdue (you) the dwarves.

"Master Holkin, I have designed a new type of furnace, and its pig iron production can even reach tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of pounds per day. Aren't you interested?"

Seeing that the dwarf master was unmoved by his invitation, Xia Lin reluctantly took out the ironmaking blast furnace blueprint he had drawn.

"Huh? You humans finally know how to make iron?"

Hearing Xia Lin's words, Master Holkin hiccupped drunk and came over and snatched the blueprint, and looked at it under the dim light in the crypt:

"Well, these pictures look good, they seem to be better than the stoves of our dwarves, but I had this kind of thing when I left the tribe more than 80 years ago, you think I will like this kind of thing ?”

Master Holguin sneered after speaking, put down the blueprint and picked up the flagon.

Unexpectedly, the dwarves had even developed blast furnace ironmaking technology. Xia Lin couldn't help being a little surprised. Seeing that Buck's blacksmith shop still used the traditional way of blacksmithing, he thought that the level of technology in this world was the same.

It seems that the dwarves' talents in forging and smelting are indeed quite high, and they have already figured out the technology of blast furnace ironmaking a hundred years ago.

"Then... what if it's a new type of metalworking tool?"

Xia Lin didn't feel that the technology he brought could not impress these dwarves. Seeing that the blueprints of the blast furnace did not attract Master Holkin's attention, he asked Wyatt to take out a stack of blueprints from the small wooden box and handed them to Holguin.

Xia Lin's blueprints based on engineering drawings are obviously unique in this era, otherwise Master Holkin would not have specially evaluated his blueprints as good.

Seeing that Xia Lin took out a new blueprint, Master Holguin became a little interested. He took the blueprint, looked at the strange things on it carefully, and frowned:
"Little mage, what are these things? How can they be regarded as tools for metal processing?"

"Master Holkin, the names of these tools are machine tools, and there are many types of them, including lathes, planers, sawing machines, milling machines, drilling machines, grinding machines, and so on.

With these lathes, blacksmiths no longer need to use sledge hammers and small hammer anvils to strike iron materials, but directly use them to cut, mill, saw, drill, ream, ream, knurling, tapping, grinding, plane, etc. Processing, surface processing and other work. "

Seeing that Master Holkin was really fooled, Xia Lin explained with a smile.

"Nonsense! How could there be such a thing in the world? You must be an alchemist's trick. We dwarf blacksmiths don't have the talent of mages, so we can't use these tools at all!"

No matter how much Master Holkin thought, he couldn't fully visualize the machinery on the blueprint. He just wanted to understand the working principle, but he could only classify this kind of magical thing into the category of alchemists. He blew his beard and stared vetoed.

"No, no, no! Master Holkin, these are the jobs of our blacksmiths. If you don't believe me, you can make a bet with me. Although the current conditions are limited, it is impossible to make advanced machine tools to achieve all the effects I said, but simple woodworking machine tools It can still be made!

Now the dwarves don't even have the courage to bet with humans, do they? "

Xia Lin didn't expect the dwarf old man to be so stubborn. He didn't understand it, so he directly put the machine tool into the alchemist's creation category, so he had to adopt the strategy of curve to save the country.

"Bet? Well, I, Holkin, have never been afraid of anyone. Tell me! How do you bet?"

"Just bet on the effect of the woodworking machine tool. If the woodworking machine tool can show some of the capabilities of the machine tools I mentioned, then Master Holkin will give me the right to move freely in the Furnace Valley to recruit dwarf craftsmen!"

"Okay! Then I'll make this bet with you! If you lose, then you have to buy me ten bottles of Winged Flame Dragon Blood Wine!"

Master Holkin nodded.

The Winged Flame Dragon is a mid-level magical beast, its strength is not much different from that of the three-ring mage, and it can also fly. Usually, it needs a medium-sized mercenary group of more than 500 people to have a chance to hunt it.

Its blood is rich in magic power, and it has a strong aroma after brewing. At the same time, its alcohol strength is also extremely high. It is a luxury wine worth 10 gold lunds per bottle.

Ten bottles of blood wine is equal to one hundred gold lunt, even Xia Lin's current net worth can be said to be traumatic.

However, Xia Lin still chose to believe in his machine tool, he slapped the table heavily:
"Okay! The bet is established!"
