Chapter 213

Yes, it's a small amount of magic metal, not pure gold!

By adding different magic metals, alloy steel can obtain different characteristics!

Brian, they have tried. By adding a small amount of magic iron, the alloy steel will bring light green, which is characterized by friction resistance and corrosion resistance.

When a small amount of refined gold is added, the alloy steel will be light blue, which is characterized by high strength and toughness.

By adding a small amount of Mithril, the alloy steel will bring bright silver, which is characterized by light weight and high temperature resistance.

Because Brian didn't have much magic metal in their hands, they only tried these three. After the test of Rune dwarf groka tongs, these three alloy steels generally have a strong affinity for magic. Although they can't reach the level of secret silver, they are much stronger than ordinary metals, and can be used as a new type of magic metal!

And more importantly, through experiments, they found that the magic affinity of the new alloy would change with the change of the proportion of thistle and silver thread.

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

The more the proportion of Flos Lonicerae, the stronger the magic affinity and the worse the magic resistance.

"... in order to test out these data, my brother Edgar and I have tried it many times without sleep!"

Brian talked freely and said excitedly, "big brother, I feel like we have found a more powerful material than the steel you made! Forging weapons and armor with this alloy will be invincible!"

Donne had nothing to say.

The material they found is indeed better. Apart from that, this combination change alone is full of countless possibilities, not to mention that a little magic metal can make so many ordinary materials have magic affinity.

Just let Brian say that, he felt inexplicably unhappy.

Yes, I just don't want him to be so proud.

Donne coughed and said calmly, "well, it's a very powerful material, but it's already in my expectation."

Brian was stunned: "Oh?"

"Yes, this material has appeared in my laboratory, but because the process is troublesome, I didn't tell you that I want to start with simple steel... What's your look?"

Halfway through his speech, Donne found Brian looking at him with contempt, even Fiona.

Brian pointed to his face and widened his eyes: "big brother... Do you think I'm stupid?"

Donne wanted to say it was stupid

"When you saw this material just now, the excited light in your eyes almost broke through the sky. Now you tell me you've already found it?"

Brian dug his nostrils, glanced obliquely at Donne and said with a smile: "or, big brother, you're worried that I'll surpass you in this regard, so you don't want to admit this reality?"

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

Dumne's face was red, and look the other way: "OK, don't say that. This material is really good, so I decided to call it".

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

Brian yelled and interrupted Donne: "this material was discovered by Edgar and me! So the naming right should belong to us! We have decided to call this alloy steel --"

"My territory is up to me! I'm the boss! I'll decide the name! You all get out of the way!"

"We made it! It's the hard work of the two of us! Of course, we'll decide the name!"

Edgar said weakly, "master Brian, your words are easily misunderstood..."

"Ah? I didn't --"

While Brian was attracted by Edgar, Donne shouted, "come on! Stop talking nonsense! The name of the new alloy is universal alloy! That's it!"

"Damn it!"

Brian hated: "let you take the lead! I had planned to call Edgar Brian alloy!"

Why not call it Edelman alloy

Donne's face was full of happiness: "what an ugly name... Sure enough, it's still a universal alloy."

"You are disdaining the most scientific naming method!"

Nokia, which has been squatting nearby without saying a word, pointed out: "it is linked with the name of the discoverer. Naming the name of new materials is the most scientific way!"

Why is he so excited

Fiona explained: "at first, master Brian and Edgar quarreled for a long time because of their names. Later, master Nokia told them this method. They were very satisfied and accepted it."

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

In theory, Brian is Edgar's master.

Fiona said weakly: "because they made a bet, master Brian lost, so his name was put behind..."

"Well, I see."

Donne looked at Brian sympathetically. He was despised by everyone in the dwarf kingdom. He came to Ellington for a few months and finally got a famous discovery. As a result, he robbed his naming right. It felt... Great!

"Don't worry, Brian!"

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

"Wait! Edgar and I found it! Why should your name be put in the front! And what does that 'parenthesis' mean?"

"Because I brought you into the field of materials science, I am your mentor! The mentor has unconditional signature!"

Donne thumbed up and smiled proudly: "what's more, universal alloy is extended on the basis of steel. Of course, my importance should be above you!"

"Shameless! Despicable!"

Brian's eyes widened. "I've never seen a shameless man like you!"

Donne is very modest: "I'm flattered. There's still a little gap compared with you. I'll continue to work hard."

Nora, who was lying on Donne's head, couldn't help rolling her eyes. This guy's face is too thick!

"Well, now that the universal alloy has been found, my plan should be adjusted accordingly."

Donne originally planned to find a way to get the magic metal mine as soon as possible in the next step, but it has not been carried out because it is too difficult. The discovery of universal alloy has alleviated Ellington's demand for magic metal. This step can be slowed down first.

"With the universal alloy, this new alloy can be used in other equipment developed next, but I'm afraid we don't have so many reserves of ash thistle and silver thread, so Fiona --"

"Please."

Fiona immediately took out her book.

"Inform Hilton and Thomas to purchase thistle and silver thread flower in arlinks and Bain, and purchase seeds at the same time. Then promote planting in Ellington. You can apply for seeds and tools necessary for planting herbs free of charge. In addition, the land for planting these two herbs is exempt from agricultural tax -"

"Lord!?"

Fiona was shocked: "now the tax rate has been set very low. If it is tax-free again --"

"I haven't finished yet." Donne rolled his eyes and continued: "after the herbal medicine is harvested, the Lord's house is responsible for recovering it at a 30% discount according to the current market guide price, or you can choose to sell it to the herbal medicine buyer, but in that case, the agricultural tax will be levied normally."

Hearing this, Fiona finally understood what Donne meant and once again admired Donne's wit.

When Hogg was in office, the tax level of Ellington farmers was 70%, that is, 70 silver coins were collected for each gold coin, and 30 silver coins were obtained. After Donne took office, the tax rate was reduced by half, so the current total tax is about 65%. If these two herbs are planted on the land, the tax of 65% can be exempted.

The recovery price of herbal medicine given by Donne is 40%, that is, if the herbal medicine is worth a gold coin, the recovery price is 40 silver coins.

Compared with growing grain, farmers can earn ten more silver coins for each crop worth a gold coin, which can certainly enhance their enthusiasm.

But the most important thing is that another one restricts farmers from selling herbal medicines. If they sell herbal medicines to herbal buyers at the original price, they will have to levy a normal agricultural tax, that is, 65 silver coins for a gold coin. Farmers can only earn 35 silver coins. Instead, they earn five silver coins less than selling them directly to Donne!

Compared with the two, of course, it's cost-effective to sell it directly to the Lord - not to mention the seeds and tools provided by the Lord free of charge.

Donne also makes a lot of money. It's more cost-effective to mobilize farmers to plant herbs than to buy them directly in the market. You can wake up when you start with raw materials at a 40% discount.

But

Fiona suddenly frowned again: "Lord, we also promoted the cultivation of mint before, and now we have to promote the cultivation of herbal medicine. I'm afraid the farmers' willingness to grow food will continue to decline. If there is not enough food in the coming year, we may have to face **********************************************************************

"It's easy to say in terms of food. After the agricultural machinery products such as combine harvesters and cultivators are produced, as long as the land is enough, a farmer can grow food rations for thousands of people throughout the year."

Don said casually, "and don't overestimate their enthusiasm for planting herbs. For people who are used to starvation, planting 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 upcoming agricultural machinery, the trip of the elves in a few days is one of the reasons why Donne is so confident about food.

If we can recruit some Elven beauties in the elves by virtue of the relationship between Nora and egwin... Ah bah! It's the Elf Druid, so food is not a problem for Ellington.

The Druid's art of life is great for farming!
