Magic Underachiever

When the thermal efficiency of the steam engine is difficult to improve significantly, the higher the strength of the material used, the higher the output power of the steam engine under the same volume.

Therefore, the improvement of steam engine technology has been on the development of new materials. Heat resistance, wear resistance, and high pressure resistance determine whose steam engine is more advanced.

And the metal smelting technology in Da Liang's hands can not only improve the power of the steam engine, but also be used in large quantities in national defense and civilian industries. Larger and stronger ships and warships, large bridges, and railways all require high-quality metals.

For the Marquis of Whitehead, this slender metal rod is far more meaningful than the magic potential activation potion and the "return to magic" drink. Without the fourth-generation magic potential activation potion, the empire has its own third-generation potion, and without the "return to magic" drink, the empire can rely on its own conventional military force. It's a little difficult, but not insurmountable...

And steel is the foundation of a country and the basis of rule.

Without high-performance steel, the army is weaker than others, and will be invaded... and will be beaten.

If this metal rod can really reach the high strength that Master Liang said, then all the smelting plants in the empire can be eliminated.

The atmosphere of the entire dinner suddenly became heavy, and Miss Anne stood up and said, "I'll go take a look around..."

Miss Anne certainly knew the meaning behind this metal rod. She wanted to strengthen the security of the Governor's Mansion and keep all non-trusted personnel away from this room.

The Marquis nodded and said to Anne: "The list of all the people who can access this dinner is in the drawer of my study. Go and see if there are any people who need attention? No leakage is allowed about the content of our conversation with Master Liang this time."

"Yes... Father."

After Anne left the restaurant, the Marquis put the metal rod on the table in front of him and asked Daliang with a serious expression: "What do I need to exchange for the manufacturing process of this metal?"

Daliang had just taken a sip of sweet soup. After hearing the Marquis's question, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and said: "The manufacturing process of this metal is not for sale. I want to build a new one in Saroyan. Build a steel plant to produce special steel like this metal.

Now we lack factory buildings, funds and equipment. "

Marquis Whitehead asked: "Such similar metals... do you have many kinds?"

Da Liang replied: "That metal rod is indeed very hard, but in some environments it is too hard, and the steel needs to have excellent toughness, or be more wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant.

I have all these metals, but I lack factories to produce them. "

Just this metal rod has shocked Marquis Whitehead, but he never thought that Master Liang actually has many similar metal smelting technologies. This technology must not be allowed to other countries, and must be mastered by the empire.

The Marquis could no longer maintain the courtesy that a noble should have. He said in the most serious tone: "Master Liang... You should know what these technologies in your hands mean to the Vlomink Empire. The Empire is willing to pay any price for the many special metal smelting technologies in your hands.

You can obtain a hereditary title and own a fiefdom. Your descendants can enjoy the privileges granted to the nobles by the Empire..."

Da Liang interrupted Marquis Whitehead very straightforwardly and still refused to contribute the smelting technology to the Vlomink Empire.

"Mr. Marquis... I am a businessman, and these smelting technologies are like golden chickens that can lay golden eggs for me. I am not very interested in the title of the Vlomink Empire. I just want to build my steel plant as soon as possible... and then make money.

Smelting technology is not for sale. I only accept investment."

The smelting technologies in Da Liang's hands come from the dwarf craftsmen in the Great Tomb. In the game world, dwarves have the best smelting technology, and the technology of the dwarf craftsmen in Obsidian City is the best of the best. The ordinary weapons they make can have magical properties.

All the dwarves in the Great Tomb came from Obsidian City.

Dwarves were once a subordinate race of elves. In order to get rid of the rule of elves, the dwarves of Obsidian City developed rune technology. Later, the dwarves joined the Five-Colored Flag Alliance. With the participation of the Fairy Dragon Clan, the dwarves once again improved the rune technology.

The dwarves of Obsidian City used rune technology in the smelting of steel. Through the combination of different rune words, they invented magic steel with different properties.

Unlike the enchantment of alchemy. Magic steel itself has no magical properties. It is an alloy smelted by changing the arrangement of metal atoms through rune technology and adding other media. The cost is not much different from ordinary steel, but the rune words contained in it give them a variety of properties.

This is a technology exclusive to the Great Tomb, and Daliang cannot share it with outsiders.

But how can Marquis Whitehead accept that this technology related to the foundation of the empire is in the hands of an uncontrolled person.

"Master Liang, I know you have a very powerful force behind you, which is why I cannot trust you completely. I don't know your purpose, so I will naturally be wary of you.

The smelting technology in your hands is more important to the empire than the fourth-generation magic potential activation potion. Therefore, the empire must get it no matter what...

I hope you can think carefully about the attitude of the Vlomink Empire.

We can jointly build a steel plant, including funds, plant, equipment, workers, management... You don't have to worry about anything, the Empire is responsible for everything in the steel plant. Give you 10% of the shares... The Emperor of the Empire will generously grant you the title of Earl and give you the most fertile land.

Your family will become the most distinguished family in the Empire.

Don't refuse me... I know your subordinates are very strong, with 13th level and perhaps 14th level. But they can never compete with the Empire.

I hope you don't make the wrong decision. "

The Marquis took out the power of his own imperial minister, and the smelting technology in Daliang's hands... He was determined to get it. Although the Black Fire Company has many powerful warriors, the Empire also has 14th and 13th level forces, as well as a million troops. He doesn't think a secret organization has the strength to compete with the country.

With these special steels, the Empire can conquer the whole world.

Feeling the threat of the Marquis, Daliang said easily: "Marquis Whitehead, I also hope you don't make the wrong decision! If I can show you the metal rod, I can take it back and make anyone dare not peek at its smelting method.

I will say it one last time: my smelting technology is not for sale.

If the Whitehead family is willing to invest, I will give you 0.5% of the shares. You only get dividends and do not participate in any decision-making of the steel plant.

If you agree, we will continue to talk.

If you disagree, I will find someone else. "

The only one in Saroyan who has the ability to help Master Liang build a steel plant is the Marcellus Council. Being threatened made Marquis Whitehead very annoyed, but at this time he found that the metal rod he had placed on the table was missing, and then he saw that Master Liang's servant took the metal rod away at some point, and it disappeared in a flash.
