The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 103 Forbidden Demon Thermometer

"."

Looking at the spring steel in his hand, which he couldn't play no matter what, Ickert fell into deep thought.

Although he knew that he would encounter failure, but this time Ikert was not as confident as when he was frying steel.

To be honest, the steel frying process has limited variables, and the heat treatment of steel cannot be tested by a small amount of experiments.

Although the heat treatment of metal materials all pay attention to a temperature range, but to Ickert's helplessness, he can't even determine this temperature range.

Including the furnace temperature, he couldn't even determine the temperature of the furnace, and he didn't know whether it was better to be higher or lower.

In desperation, Ickert can only hope that Hammer can find a way. After all, without enough equipment, he can only use experience to tackle the problem.

"Hammerhead, what do you think?"

"My lord, according to my more than 40 years of blacksmithing experience, the temperature of your furnace may be too high."

After carefully feeling the furnace temperature for a while, Hammer suggested.

"high?"

"Yes, my lord, the temperature of the furnace supported by your magic is really shocking! We have never used such a hot iron furnace for forging!

I'm not saying your stove is bad my lord, I mean it's really good!Even the forge we usually build is not as good as it. "

Hammerhead said, although blacksmiths like a hot furnace, if they can't process it, then forget it.

"I see."

Ickert only expected that the furnace temperature was not enough, but he never thought that he would make the same mistake as when frying steel.

And that's too much force.

But what can he say?Engage in industry, my heart is on fire!
"Then according to your blacksmith's practice, what should be the heating temperature before quenching?"

"Uh, the temperature is. very red and hot"

"."

Ickert almost forgot again, he was the only one present who had a specific concept of temperature!

Education, education, how can there be development without education.

Then this is very embarrassing. The blacksmith said that the furnace temperature is too high, but he can't judge the specific furnace temperature. How can the production of spring steel proceed?
Building a good stove also takes a lot of time.

Eckert believes that the only thing left is to regulate the temperature.

Like the time counter, it can also be solved by counting the pulse and heartbeat, but the temperature
You can't throw a stone man into the furnace and let him feel the specific temperature.

Although it sounds outrageous, if there are stone men in the world, Ickert plans to do it directly.

It's a pity that he really couldn't conjure a stone man.

Then the only way left is to come up with a thermometer to solve the temperature variable.

The issue of spring steel needed to be put on hold for now, but Ickert hadn't planned to solve it all at once from the beginning.

After all, the development of human industry to the present has never been driven by a certain person, but needs the wheels of the "working people" to drive the industrial carriage forward.

Those elites who invented some kind of machine sounded like elites, but in fact they only became elites because of increased productivity.

The elites always come from the working people, and they are contemporary. Anyway, Ikert will not agree that the elites drive the development of world history.

Leaving behind the hammerhead the parts needed to make the thermometer, Ickert himself walked out of the blacksmith's hut.

Ickert already has a plan for how to make a thermometer.

Of course, unlike those high-end glass products and precision machinery in the previous life, it is impossible for the territory's current industrial foundation to produce those things, and he naturally does not need to add another industrial project halfway.

The thermometer he wants to make is actually a tricky thing.

Its raw material is to use Yuanshi.

Eckert had thought before that something like the wind of magic could not only have an invisible energy form, but also precipitate into a nearly solid dimensional stone, and there must be some medium at work in it.

After all, the dimensional stone itself is fairly stable, but once dispersed, its instability will appear again.

There must be something, or some structure, that makes it stable as a warpstone.

The dimensional stone ore is its most authentic and stable state.

What keeps it stable is the materials present with its crystallization, which are often called impurities.

In these impurities, there may be some kind of forbidden magic substance.

Ickert tried to use his knowledge to guess the formation process of the dimensional stone:
In the process of going deep underground, the magic energy is continuously squeezed by the forbidden magic substances existing underground, and finally forms a special crystal structure that can maintain stable magic properties under the action of high magic pressure and geological movement.

It's that simple.

There should be the anti-magic materials he needs in the corners of the primordial stone ore.

Using forbidden magic materials as a thermometer, Ickert felt that his thinking was a little strange.

The principle of the forbidden magic thermometer is very simple. This device mainly uses the high penetration of magic power.

Add anti-magic materials into the high-temperature-resistant liquid, and then detect it with magic power, and you can get real-time data without any external instructions.

Although only mages can use it, it can be used anyway.

Ickert scraped some impurities from the dimension stone ore, and used magic power to detect it, and found that this forbidden magic material also has the same properties in this world.

Of course, the impurities in his hands are actually a lot of mixed materials.

Eckert has no way of knowing what kind of anti-magic material is native to the world over there, nor can he know whether another material has shown anti-magic properties in this world.

Anyway, it can be used.

Just like that, Ickert left the wine cellar with enough anti-magic materials and returned to the blacksmith's hut.

After Hammerhead was done working, the thermometer parts he needed were also built.

The forbidden magic thermometer in front of him is almost equivalent to an enlarged mercury thermometer in design, and it is still a liquid thermometer in essence.

As a high temperature thermometer, its working substance is
Liquid lead!

Ha people.

Ickert felt that his ideas were indeed quite impressive.

But liquid thermometers, you can’t use a liquid that is about to boil after just one or two heats. If Ickert remembers correctly, the boiling point of lead in the textbook should be 1749°C.

enough.

The melting point of lead is 327°C, which is also within the range of medium temperature tempering.

The only question that needs to be resolved is where the lead comes from.

There is indeed no lead mine in the territory, and Ickert has not developed any mines yet.

But he has a legacy from an earlier empire.

It was a product of the empire when it was still in the Northern Continent. According to the classification of historical dynasties, it should be called the Northern Cyclion Empire.

The life of the people in the northern part of the country is much better than that in the southern part, but the nobles at that time, just like the ancient Roman nobles, liked to use lead water pipes and lead cups.

As for the opportunity to discover that these things are made of lead, it is because the locals recommended to him that using this kind of container to store wine will make the wine sweeter.
Almost scared Ikert to death.

Every household has more or less such ancient aristocratic relics.

Ickert naturally collected all these evil things, and simply used them as working materials for the thermometer.
