That's right, just a small amount of magic metal, not just Adamantite!

Add a different magic metal to the alloy steel to get different characteristics!

Brian they have already tried, adding a small amount of magic iron, the alloy steel will have a light green color, characterized by friction resistance, corrosion resistance.

With the addition of a small amount of pure gold, the alloy steel will have a light blue color, which is characterized by high strength and strong toughness.

With the addition of a small amount of Mithril, the alloy steel will have a bright silver color, which is characterized by its light weight and high temperature resistance.

Since Brian didn't have much magic metal in their hands, they only tried these three, and after the test of the rune dwarf Grocca Firetong, these three alloy steels generally have a very strong affinity for magic, although they can't reach the level of Mithril, but they are much stronger than ordinary metals, and they can be used as a new type of magic metal!

And more importantly, after experimentation, they found that as the ratio of gray thistle and silver thread changed, so did the magic affinity of the new alloy.

The greater the proportion of gray thistle, the worse the magic affinity and the stronger the magic resistance.

The more percentage of the silver thread, the stronger the mana affinity and the worse the magic resistance.

“…… In order to test out this information, Brother Edgar and I have been experimenting with it many times! ”

Brian said casually, and then said excitedly: "Big brother, I feel like we've found a more powerful material than the steel you made!" Forge weapons and armor with this alloy and you're sure to be invincible! ”

The corners of Don's mouth twitched, and he had nothing to say.

The material they found was indeed even better. If nothing else, this combination variation alone is full of countless possibilities, not to mention the fact that so many ordinary materials can have magical affinities with a little magic metal.

Just let Brian say so. He felt inexplicably unhappy.

That's right, I just don't want him to be so proud.

Tang En coughed lightly and said calmly: "Well, it's a very powerful material, but this has long been in my expectation." ”

Brian was stunned: "Oh? ”

"Yes, this material has already been used in my lab, but because the process is more cumbersome. That's why I didn't tell you, I want to start with simple steel...... What kind of eyes are you looking at? ”

Halfway through his speech, Don noticed Brian looking at him with contempt on his face, even Fiona's face of contempt.

Brian pointed to his face. His eyes widened: "Big brother...... Do you think I'm stupid? ”

Donn was tempted to say that it was indeed silly......

"When you saw this material just now, the excitement in your eyes was about to break through the sky, and now you tell me that you have already discovered it?"

Brian gouged his nostrils and glanced at Don. said with a smile: "Or say." Big brother, you're worried that I'm going to surpass you in this regard, so you're not willing to admit this reality? ”

"You don't want to admit this reality!"

Don En blushed and said to him, "Okay, don't talk about this, this material is really good, so I decided to name it-"

"Wait, big brother! You're not authentic! ”

Brian let out a loud shout and interrupted Donne's words, "I found this material with Edgar!" So the naming rights should be ours! We've decided to call this alloy steel -"

"My territory listens to me! I'm the boss! I'll decide the name! Get out of the way! ”

"We made it! It's the result of the hard work of the two of us! Of course, the name is ours! ”

Edgar said weakly, "Master Brian." It's easy to misunderstand what you're saying......"

"Huh? I didn't—"

Taking advantage of Brian's attention attracted by Edgar, Don shouted, "Phew! Less nonsense! The name of the new alloy is universal alloy! That's it! ”

"Damn!"

Brian hated: "Let you take the lead!" Originally, I had all the names of Edgar Bryan Alloy! ”

Why don't you call it Edman Alloy......

Tang En's face was full of joy: "What an ugly name...... Sure enough, it is more appropriate to use a universal alloy. ”

"You're despising the most scientific way of naming!"

Nokia, who had been crouching next to him silently, shrieked, "Linked by the name of the discoverer." Naming the name of the new material is the most scientific way! ”

Why is he so excited......

Fiona explained, "Because at first Master Brian and Edgar quarreled for a long time over the name, but then Master Nokia told them about the solution, and they were both satisfied and accepted. ”

"Then why is Edgar's name in front?"

Theoretically, Brian was Edgar's master.

Fiona said with a weak face: "Because the two made a bet, Master Brian lost, so his name is put at the back......"

"Okay, I see."

Don looked at Brian with great sympathy, he was despised by everyone in the Dwarven Kingdom, and after coming to Ellington for a few months, he finally got a discovery that was enough to go down in history, but the naming rights were robbed by himself, which felt ...... It's so cool!

"Don't worry, Brian!"

Don patted him on the shoulder and said with a hearty smile: "In future records, I will specifically note that the discoverers of the universal alloy are Donne, Edgar, and Brian's 'one small word'." ”

"Wait! Edgar and I found it! Why should your name be at the top? And what does that 'parentheses' mean!? ”

"Because I am the one who brought you into the field of materials science, I am your mentor! The tutor has the right of authorship unconditionally! ”

Tang En gave a thumbs up and smiled proudly: "What's more, the universal alloy is extended on the basis of steel, and my importance is of course above you!" ”

"Shameless! Vile! ”

Brian's eyes widened: "I've never seen a brazen person like you!" ”

Tang En was very modest: "I have won awards, there is still a little gap compared to you, I will continue to work hard." ”

Nora, who was lying on top of Donn's head, couldn't help but roll her eyes, this guy's face is too thick!

"Okay, now that I've discovered the universal alloy, then my plan will be adjusted accordingly."

Don originally planned to find a way to get the magic metal mine as soon as possible in the next step, but it was too difficult to carry it out, and the discovery of the universal alloy eased Ellington's demand for magic metal, and this step could be slowed down for a while.

"With the universal alloy, this new alloy can be used in other equipment developed in the future, but I'm afraid we don't have that much gray thistle and silver thread in stock, so Fiona-"

"Please."

Fiona immediately pulled out her notebook.

"Inform Hilton and Thomas, that they may purchase gray thistle and silver thread in Alinks and Bain, and at the same time purchase the seeds, and then promote the cultivation in Ellington, that they may apply free of charge for the seeds and the tools necessary for the cultivation of herbs, and that the land on which these herbs are grown shall be exempt from agricultural taxes—"

"Your Lord!?"

Fiona was shocked: "Now that the tax rate has been set very low, if you are tax-free again-"

"I'm not done yet." Tang En rolled his eyes and continued: "After the herbs are harvested, the Lord's Mansion is responsible for recovering them at a seven-percent discount according to the current market guide price, and they can also choose to sell them to herb buyers, but in that case, the agricultural tax will be levied normally. ”

Hearing this, Fiona finally understood what Don meant, and was once again amazed by Don Ng's wit.

When Hogg was in office, the tax level of the Ellington farmers was seventy percent, that is, each gold coin had to collect seventy silver coins of tax, and thirty silver coins were in hand, and Donn reduced the tax rate by half percent after taking office, so the current total tax was about 6.5 percent, and if these two herbs were cultivated on the land, the 6.5 percent tax could be exempted.

The recovery price of the herbs given by Tang En is 4% off, which means that if the herbs are worth one gold coin, the recovery price is 40 silver coins.

Farmers earn 10 more silver coins for every gold coin worth of crops than they do for growing food, which of course boosts their motivation.

But the most important thing is that the other one restricts the farmers from selling the herbs to the outside, and if they sell the herbs to the herb buyers at the original price, they will be subject to the normal agricultural tax, that is, a total of sixty-five silver coins will be levied for one gold coin, and the farmers can only earn thirty-five silver coins, which is five silver coins less than selling them directly to Tang En!

Comparing the two, of course, it is still cost-effective to sell directly to the lord - not to mention that the seeds and tools are still provided by the lord for free.

Tang En is also very profitable, mobilizing farmers to plant herbs, which is much more cost-effective than buying directly in the market.

But......

Fiona suddenly frowned again: "Lord Lord, we have also promoted the cultivation of mint before, and now we are going to promote the cultivation of herbs, I am afraid that the willingness of farmers to grow food will continue to decline, if there is not enough food in the coming year, we are afraid that we will have to face ******...... Don't forget, we in Ellington are just getting enough to eat now. ”

"In terms of grain, after the production of agricultural machinery products such as combine harvesters and cultivators, as long as there is enough land, a farmer can grow enough food to meet the annual rations of thousands of people."

Don said casually: "And you don't overestimate their enthusiasm for growing herbs, for people who are used to starvation, growing cash crops is far less important than growing food, so you can rest assured in this regard." ”

“…… Well, your will. ”

In fact, in addition to the agricultural efficiency reform brought about by the imminent birth of agricultural machinery, the trip of the elves in a few days is also one of the reasons why Don is so relieved about food.

If you can rely on the relationship between Nora and Egwin, you can recruit a few elven beauties in the elven clan...... Ahh It's an elven druid, so food is even less of a problem for Ellington.

The druid's life magic used for farming is amazing! (To be continued.) )
