Chapter 178 Project Commencement
PS: Bow and thank you for the sword of wind and clouds and an arrow to shoot the monthly ticket voted by UFO book friends.
A large piece of gum is tossed into the tongs pan and slowly heated until the hard lump slowly softens and melts. Henry picks up a sludge corpse and throws it in. The monster's body is both strong and elastic, and when mixed with the gum, it quickly forms a large lump of viscous gelatinous substance. He carefully stirred the magnetic stick, and soon a large amount of impurities were absorbed on it.
Henry took out the stick and washed it with water, then continued to stir, repeating several times to remove the impurities inside. After completing the first process, he pours the tongs and pans into the iron plate prepared in advance, and begins to squeeze after a little cooling. The viscous gelatinous substance is repeatedly crushed, and gradually turns into a large sheet of skin that is neither thick nor thin.
In order to prevent the rubber from breaking or sticking, Henry used a vulcanization process. The whole sheet of rubber was thrown into a sulphur-filled steam, and it took some time to take it back out and set aside to dry. The rubber should be left in place for a minimum of one day before it can be tested for elasticity and tightness.
Henry didn't waste his time waiting here, but went straight underground and asked Tenoben, the leader of the gray dwarves, to make a three-pronged glass container. The top of the glass container is completely open, and the middle is used to add water. Both sides are energized, one is connected to the positive electrode and the other is connected to the negative electrode. An electric current splits the water into hydrogen and oxygen, which emerge from the top of the containers on either side. When the time comes, just prepare a sealed tin can to store the gas, and when the airship is built, it can be inflated.
After receiving the order, the gray dwarves quickly got busy, and while they melted a large amount of quartz sand as required, they began to build a sturdy, sealed gas tank. The whole workshop No. 2 was in full swing. The sound of tinkling is endless. Henry handed the drawings to Tenno, and returned to the workshop alone. He also lacked a machine capable of compressing air into liquid.
Because ordinary mechanical air compressors are too complicated. With the scientific and technological level of this world, it is difficult to meet its demanding requirements. Henry thought about it for a long time, but there was nothing too good to do. In the end, he could only use the power of the mage tower to make a magic compressor in the shape of a jar. It is capable of extracting energy from the elemental pool, squeezing the passing gases with powerful magical power. Although the consumption is a bit large, but fortunately, the compression effect is still very good.
Henry patted the magic machine and said to himself, "It's finally finished, and now the materials for the skeleton haven't been solved yet, I hope Cagan and his people had better come up with a good solution soon." ”
"What skeleton? I see all the grey dwarf craftsmen busy, do you want to make an oversized steel golem? Debra walked in through the doorway.
Henry smiled and walked over and hugged her. "I'm going to build a huge flying machine and use it to replace some of the ships. The monsters in the sea are too dangerous. I don't want to be shipwrecked. By the way, I heard Cortana say that you are making a magic item, how's that, did it work? ”
Debra smiled and pulled out a family of crystal clear gemstones from her neckline. "I refined Anthony's soul gem. Now this necklace is not only immune to immobilization spells, but also has a certain amount of magic resistance. However, the soul inside seems to have gone crazy during the refining process, otherwise it should have some other special abilities. ”
Henry picked up the gem and performed a "discernment", and soon specific information came to mind.
Soul Pendant:
It's a magic amulet made of a soul gem that you can hear the cries of crazy souls inside, and no one with good intentions in their hearts will wear it.
Equipment Capabilities:
Immune to all immobilization-type spells
Increases magic resistance by 5%.
Equipped must be the evil faction
"You've made a nice magic item, but be careful. Don't be influenced by Anthony's crazy soul. He was now full of pain and hatred, if it continued. It won't take a few decades to become a powerful necromancy. At that point, the necklace will become a cursed item. With that, Henry pulled Debra's neckline open and gently put the gem inside.
The mage suddenly leaned forward, and Henry's hand touched a soft object in an instant. He lowered his head and kissed the seductive red lips fiercely, and his hands reached into the robe and began to knead non-stop. Debra snapped her fingers with a hand, and the two of them were teleported to her room in an instant. After more than an hour of passionate collision, they fell asleep with a tired hug together.
The next day, when it was almost noon, he was woken up by the voice of Taling. Cortana had informed that Cagan and his people had arrived, and were now in the lobby on the first floor. Henry immediately got up from his bed, quickly got dressed, and ran downstairs. Debra watched him leave with a smile on her face, and then slowly walked into the bathroom naked and began to take a shower.
"Old friend, have you found a solution?" Henry asked loudly as he reached the top of the stairs.
Cagan laughed and nudged the other dwarf next to him. "Of course, let our master foundry explain it to you. He had a special forging method that allowed him to smelt alloys that were both light and tough. ”
The Dwarven Forge Master bowed, and then began to talk about how to mix molten iron with other metals and gemstones. This is no ordinary smelting method, and it contains a lot of runic techniques unique to dwarves. Henry stood aside and listened with relish, it was the first time he had known that there was such an enchantment method.
The master foundry's lecture lasted two and a half hours. Henry digested the knowledge he had just gained and instructed the golem to begin preparing lunch and wine. The delicious meal was soon brought into the dining room, and the dwarves ate the food with pride, and more than a dozen bottles of treasured wine were poured into their stomachs.
Henry asked Cagan as he ate the roast goose pieces, "Now that the material problem is solved, let's start work as soon as possible." Just like the drawings are, these alloys are processed into skeletons. I'm going to send someone to bring these things over and dig a big pit here for assembly work. ”
"No problem, as long as you can provide enough gems. You must know that it takes at least a few hundred diamonds to build such a big guy, and other rare metals also need to buy some. With that, the old dwarf burped contentedly.
Henry said to him with a smile on his face, "These materials are in stock, and when you leave, you will go to the warehouse and tell the golem if you need anything." I can't wait to see it take to the skies, and the time to travel to and from the West Coast will be greatly shortened, and the safety of people and cargo will be fully guaranteed. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, when it comes to forging us, dwarves have strength all over our bodies." Saying that, Cagan stood up and beckoned the others to walk in the direction of the warehouse, and just as he was about to walk out of the door of the restaurant, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "By the way, those bottles of your wine taste very good, I wonder if there is any stock in the road?" ”
Henry nodded with a smile. "There are two whole boxes, as long as you mint fast enough, I can provide one box as a prize."
Cagan shouted at the dwarves behind him, "Did you hear that!" There's still a case of that kind of wine just now, and I work hard, and if anyone dares to be lazy, I'll kick his ass. His words sparked laughter from the other dwarves, who sang and ran in the direction of the warehouse.
Henry watched the dwarven team leave with a large pile of gems and rare metals, and returned to the workshop himself to test the elasticity and sealing of the rubber. He picked up the dried skin, tugged hard a few times, and then stabbed it with a dagger, and finally found that it could be made into armor if it was thickened a little more.
Since there are no problems with elasticity and robustness, all that remains is the tightness test. He rolled up the whole piece of leather and glued it with special glue, then sealed one end of it, and vigorously blew the inside full of gas. I put this gas-filled tube in the water, and after a long time, I didn't find any bubbles coming out, and it seems that the tightness is completely acceptable.
Henry tossed the hose aside and instructed Taling, "Cortana, call me a few apprentices to follow the steps to make this rubber." In addition, having two dryads gather some more gum around the forest is simply fantastic. With that, he walked towards Workshop 2, he wanted to see if the gray dwarf's stuff was ready.
"Mix it up! Give me a light touch, if you accidentally break the whole day, it will be in vain. Tenoben shouted at the craftsmen and told them to carefully lift the huge glass container aside. Although he didn't know what the use of this thing was, he still used the best craftsmanship to create it.
Henry saw the glassware as soon as he entered, and he shouted to the leader of the gray dwarves, "Tenoben, carry this thing to the basement." Be careful to handle with care, and with a few other hands to follow, I need to run an experiment. ”
The leader of the gray dwarves immediately ran over and bowed. "Master, we will do as you tell us right away, and four sealed metal gas tanks have been made, do you want to move them together?"
"Oh! You're doing pretty well, and all the magic machines in Workshop 1 have been moved to the basement. The gas tank continued to be made, and the other half of the manpower was divided into digging a deep pit outside the mage tower that was 400 meters long and 60 meters wide. I'm going to make a big flying guy there. With that, Henry took the glassware in front of the basement, where he was going to electrolyze water.
Tenoben clenched his fists excitedly when he heard such a huge amount of work, and he could already imagine how shocking it would be for such a huge object to fly in the sky. After the end of the Nexera era, there weren't many giant man-made flying objects left in the sky of the main material plane. (To be continued......)
