As mentioned earlier, there is no uniform set of weights and measures for Plandal, and each race, each place has its own set of weights and measures.

Edgar alone knew that there were at least three.

The result of the inconsistency of weights and measures was clear to Edgar, very confusing, and he had to refamiliarize himself with each place.

And on top of that, there is not a single frame of reference available.

Not to mention things like scales, not even the simplest ruler.

Therefore, there is a key factor in evaluating whether a blacksmith is a good blacksmith, that is, whether the blacksmith can make weapons well.

What does it mean to be competent?

That is, the size meets the employer's requirements.

However, the result of not having an accurate measuring tool is that this size depends on the experience of the blacksmith.

And now, Don has come up with such a simple tool to solve this problem.

If you combine this ruler with the three views that Don En talked about before, the effect is not so simple, but a great change!

"Got it...... I get it! ”

Brian's eyes widened: "Big brother! You've solved a big problem! ”

Don waved his hand very modestly: "Luck......"

The corners of Brian's mouth twitched, and he felt that Donne's expression was very flat!

After knowing the role of the meter ruler, Brian of course knew what the big problem was that Donn was talking about, so the three of them began to resize.

"Cut it down a little bit over there...... By the way, big brother, let's discuss, do you still have Aojin? Get me some? ”

"Give."

Without saying a word, Don took out an Ogin ingot from his package and threw it to Brian.

Then Brian was dumbfounded.

Then Brian knelt for Donne.

Aojin ingots...... This is an Aojin ingot......

He threw it out without blinking......

Who the hell is this guy!

The royal family of the Human Empire can't be so extravagant!

Did he really rob the dragon's lair!?

"Big brother! You're my big brother! ”

Brian burst into tears: "I'll mess with you in the future!" ”

Even in the dwarf kingdom, it is not so simple to get such a large piece of Aojin, Brian can see it, if he mixes with Donne, he will definitely not be stingy with this kind of good material in the future.

With these good materials, I'm afraid that I won't be able to become a grandmaster, a great grandmaster!?

Don patted Brian on the head with a kind face: "This is the right choice. ”

Don was just starting out in Ellington, just when he needed talent, and now he can buy Brian, a member of the dwarven royal family, with an Aujin ingot, and he is definitely sure to make a profit!

Don't talk about an Aojin ingot, he just wants a set of Aojin ingots, and a set of constant gold ingots is also worth it!

Edgar looked at the Ogin in Brian's hand with envy, it was Ogin, and he wanted it too!

Don glanced at him, thought for a moment, and took out another piece of Ogin ingot and threw it to Edgar: "Do it well in the future." ”

Edgar wanted to sell this life to Don in an instant, but the result was ......

Brian patted Edgar's thigh and said with a kind face: "As an apprentice, should you honor your master if you have good things?" ”

Edgar felt bad and hugged the Okin ingot all of a sudden: "Wait! When did you say you agreed to take me as an apprentice? ”

"Just now--as your master, I don't think you can use this material now, it's a waste in your hands, it's better to leave it to my master for safekeeping-you bastard! Why hug so tight!? Do you want to disobey the master!? Leave it to me! ”

"Don't give! No one will give! This gold ingot is mine - not even the master! ”

Brian and Edgar wriggled, especially Brian, who couldn't snatch the Ogin Ingot from Edgar because of his height, and made him angry and jumped to his feet.

"Big brother! Are you just going to watch him practice the precious Aojin ingot!? ”

Don shrugged: "I've already sent it out anyway...... Besides, it's just a gold ingot, why are you so excited. ”

Aojin ingots "that's all"!?

Could it be that he still has Hengjin in his hand!?

Brian was angry when he saw Don like this, why does this guy have so many good things in his hands!

Brian thumped his chest for a while, these materials can only play the greatest value in the hands of their dwarves, and it is a waste in his hands!

"I said, are you still going to work?"

Tang Enjian raised his eyebrows: "If you don't work, return the Ao Jin Ingot to me." ”

"! I'll do it! ”

Edgar and Brian didn't care about fighting for each other anymore and immediately got to work.

With the encouragement of Aojin ingots, the work efficiency of the two has improved a lot, and with Donn's guidance, the parts of the stamping machine were soon adjusted and completely assembled.

Looking at the slightly rough press in front of him, Tang En couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

This was the beginning of Plandal's industry - not with the steam engine, but with a press that used magic directly......

"Give it a try!"

Brian rubbed his hands: "There are iron ingots that have been prepared." ”

They clamped the ingot above the bottom die, then snapped the bottom of the ram onto the top die, and then Donn put a magic crystal in the side slot of the press and put his hand on the switch he made: "Are you ready?" ”

"That's it!"

Brian and Edgar both stared at the ingot.

Don took a deep breath, can you succeed, in this move!

Open!

The Gravity Amplification Magic Circle draws mana and acts on the battering hammer above, negating the effect of the ram's constant levitation spell, then ......

"Bang!"

The adamantite ram fell suddenly, the smooth bottom slamming against the ingot, then floating into the air again, and falling again......

After a few moments, Don turned off the magic circle of the stamping machine, and the three of them came together.

Tear off the flattened iron sheet next to it, and lying in the center is the embryo of a sickle!

Brian took out the blank, the embryo that had just been stamped was still a little lying down at the moment, but he didn't care, just stared at the embryo with bright eyes.

"It's all in one piece, it's evenly distributed, as long as the blade is opened, it's a good scythe!"

Brian turned his head to look at Donn: "Big brother, you have changed the entire Purandal forging industry!" ”

"No, it's not that it's changed an industry," Donn grinned, "but that it started an era." ”

That's right, it's the combination of magic and technology that is about to begin, and it belongs only to the industrial age of Plandal!

After making sure that the stamping machine was working normally, Don and the others worked hard to assemble the cutting machine and the grinder, and the sickle blank stamped by the stamping machine had become shiny after being shaped by the cutting machine and then polished by the grinding machine.

Edgar took it and tried it, very excited: "Lord Lord, the quality of this scythe is already very good!" ”

Don bowed slightly, although this scythe is not as good as Brian's own hand, but don't forget, it has only been a long time since it turned from an iron ingot to a sickle, and it only took a few breaths to complete!

If Brian had done it by himself, the quality would have been better, but I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought about anything else for the day.

In the case of large-scale requirements, the quality needs to be compromised to efficiency for the time being, and then gradually increase the quality requirements with the improvement of basic industries in the future.

Edgar was very excited: "With the help of these three machines, as long as the molds and iron ingots are ready, more than 1,500 sets of farm tools can be completed in less than two days!" ”

"The efficiency is indeed amazing, but big brother, these three machines are all magic crystals, right? How long does a magic crystal last? ”

Tang En smiled: "Don't worry, the efficiency of the magic array is very high, and I have added an energy-saving function, which will automatically cut off the supply of mana when not in use, so it saves mana crystals." When fully loaded, an ordinary magic crystal can work continuously for thirty days. ”

"Thirty days!?"

Brian's eyes widened, and he counted with his fingers: "An ordinary magic crystal is worth a hundred gold coins, and according to fifteen days of work, thirty days can produce nearly twenty thousand sickles, and a sickle is worth ten silver coins, so the output is ...... Two thousand gold coins!? Hammer's beard! It's a huge profit! ”

Don laughed, the impact of the Industrial Revolution on traditional craftsmen was vividly expressed in Brian, but ......

"Actually, you can't do that, you haven't taken into account a few issues," Donn reminded Brian, "For example, the cost of developing a stamping machine and cutting machine, and the impact on the market after a large number of sickles enter the market, the price of scythes will inevitably fall, in fact, the final profit can be a thousand gold coins is very good." ”

"More than a thousand gold coins a month, you are still not satisfied!"

Brian shouted, "If I can have a hundred gold coins a month, I'm going to smile!" You can drink ale until you vomit! ”

Don said with a smile: "Considering that there are only more than a thousand farmers in Ellington, the market will be saturated immediately, and it is impossible to make money, and if we want to make money with these things, we must ship what we produce and sell it to other parts of the empire, and even other countries." But in any case, it is certain that it will make money. ”

It's too early to think about transporting things out, the traffic situation in Plandal is terrible, and a caravan will waste a lot of time going back and forth between the two towns, and if it only makes so much money, I'm afraid that no caravan will want to run at all.

Therefore, if you really want to make money, you still have to wait until he develops the mint product, so that there are small commodities as a base, plus these high-quality and inexpensive farm tools, it is worth a trip to the caravan.

Fiona would probably be overjoyed if she knew the good news.

She's always wanted to revive the Golden Rose family.

When the time comes, Fiona will be in charge of the caravan, Don thought about it for a while, and decided so simply.
