MC's career as foreign lord
Chapter 141: Smelting Begins
It has to be said that these races have a very good learning ability. They quickly learned how to use paper and implemented it.
Now they are handing over two sheets of paper that seem unremarkable, but you can still see some effect.
They merged the block creations of this world with their design ideas, marking them on paper and drawing out their thoughts.
This blueprint can even project the shape of the building directly onto the ground, allowing Zhou Ren to more clearly feel the different ideas of the two races.
The underground gnomes' design looks more grand and beautiful. They are clearly only this tall, but the designed buildings are unusually tall, with grand arched doors and various forging furnaces in corresponding procedures. If placed here, it would indeed be a very beautiful and attractive landscape.
The dwarves' design is another different form. They directly dug a large pit here, and then filled the pit with their various underground furnaces, and placed their casting platforms and blacksmith shops on top.
The advantage of this design is that it can maximize the use of the magma in the ground and various casting tools, and it can also pile all the output on the platform at the fastest speed for others to choose.
These two designs have their own advantages and disadvantages, so they are not particularly bad, but it is really interesting that the two races are arguing about this thing until now. Both are very serious groups.
So he can see that most of the gnomes' manpower is building markets and residential buildings, while the dwarves are building their casting furnaces and forging platforms on the ground, using their acquired special abilities to shape these metals and wood one by one.
This should be a very fulfilling thing, and they are also enjoying it, but also because they each have higher requirements for their own casting buildings, it is difficult to reach an agreement.
"How about this!" Zhou Ren gave them an idea, "The dwarves are responsible for the underground part, and the gnomes are responsible for the above part, and then you directly build a wide platform in the middle to create a channel or tunnel that can connect up and down, and directly transfer the items you need, how about that?"
Since he couldn't think of any particularly good solution, of course he compromised. Zhou Ren decided to do his best first, let them communicate with each other, and then see the final collision situation in the middle.
"Following your will!" The two senior engineers looked at each other and nodded, and then began to rebuild their own parts. Many dwarves directly picked up shovels and shoveled off the blocks under their feet one by one.
They are going to start building huge furnaces. After they are built, this person will probably want to move his Tinkers' Construct smeltery here. As for now... he still needs the dwarves to help him with a favor.
"Who can use the branches of the Tree of Life to make me a staff?" Zhou Ren said, taking out a branch of the Tree of Life that he had already cut down and prepared.
This is also one of the results of his communication with the Tree of Life. Of course, he cut down the earliest Tree of Life, directly cutting down its irregular but very iconic trunk, and then carved two holes in it, which can be inlaid with rune gems and the like in the future.
He has all kinds of enchanting books, and also has different metals. After coming to Tinkers' Construct, he even has different types of alloys. Making two gems is also easy.
So he simply took out Edelman alloy and another special emerald, "Help me embed these two things in the staff. The Edelman alloy is fused with the staff, and the emerald is used as energy!"
Zhou Ren said, but the dwarves shook their heads. They are not experts in making staffs or these magical weapons. This kind of thing is generally left to mages to do.
"I know someone who can definitely do it," one of the gnomes said, "Lord Sandru is the best staff making expert among our underground people. You can find him if you really need it!"
Zhou Ren was stunned. It turned out that he was in the dark. He clearly had two top legendary mages around him, but he didn't know to use them.
Yes, Mossa and Sandru are the top magicians themselves, how could they not be able to make staffs?!
"You guessed right, Master!" Mossa nodded slightly and said, he is indeed a very good staff making expert, "I can try to make a standard legendary staff with the World Tree staff, but it also depends on the quality of the gems you provide!"
"The emerald is definitely enough, it depends on how you perform!" Zhou Ren said again, "This is a simple test. If the test is successful, all of your staffs can be replaced with this kind in the future!"
He smiled on his face, "It's just that this one is for me to give away!"
He smiled so obviously, Mossa naturally knew who he was going to give it to.
Taking these materials, he nodded slightly and then disappeared.
"Keep working hard, I hope you can complete all the work before the end of the Great Wind Period!" Zhou Ren said.
There should be no more benevolent lord and supervisor than him in this world. He gave them a full two months of construction time and also provided cultivation and food.
Which lord in this world can do what he does?
He secretly admired himself for a while before he slowly left. Although there was no external interference, Shia was still underground, continuing to build that huge furnace.
He went back to prepare some food, and then hurried down the mine. On the way, he could still hear the skeletons working hard to dig underground.
Compared to those surface races who occasionally slack off or even ask for vacations, these skeletons who have been pursuing hard growth don't even have a single complaint.
Perhaps this is also the special ability that skeletons are born with. In this situation, they still don't feel any fatigue and can find their own growth path in various jobs and grow forcibly.
Several of the faster growing ones have completely entered the level of intermediate professionals, becoming a skeleton with a slightly flickering fluorescent light on its body.
This is not a very simple change, but an evolution that is difficult to find among tens of thousands of skeletons. This is a necessary path to becoming a skeleton lord and the only way to reach the skeleton legend.
Jim has walked very deeply and far on this road, and perhaps it won't be long before he completely becomes a legend under the gaze of some people.
Zhou Ren naturally felt that, compared to those races that had signed agreements with him, these skeletons, who entrusted their lives to him and whose very souls were controlled by him, were more trustworthy.
However, he didn't forget other matters, bringing two bowls of steaming rice down to the very bottom, where he saw two equally massive smelting furnaces.
These were the other two multi-block structures from the Tinker's Construct series: the Smeltery and the Tank.
Having previously explained the functions of these two multi-block structures, Zhou Ren wouldn't repeat himself.
He brought down a lot of potatoes and meat, intending to experiment with them in the Smeltery.
The Smeltery could only have one controller and another tank for storing fuel.
Zhou Ren handed a bowl of rice to Shia, "Time to eat, my princess!"
"Huh? Has it been that long?" Shia was startled, having been so engrossed in construction that she hadn't noticed how much time had passed or how long she had been in this area.
"You're completely immersed in this construction, you need to take a break!" Zhou Ren said, wanting to burn all these things first.
The fuel tank had already been filled with lava.
Demons were a bit scarce right now, so he could only use lava as a temporary substitute.
Next time, he would capture more to use together.
In three days, the little devils would give him a surprise, and if that surprise failed, Zhou Ren would give the devils a little surprise as well.
If he brought all eleven of his demons over, it should greatly alleviate their fuel crisis.
For now, he looked at the hundreds of slots inside the massive furnace and was slightly amazed.
"So the internal space of this furnace is so big! It can burn thousands of items at once, our old furnaces can be retired!" Zhou Ren said with some emotion.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
These things couldn't be learned from the crafting guide because they didn't belong to the crafting series, but to another special category… the Tinkers' Compendium!
This was a book that came into his possession after Tinker's Construct descended upon this world, and only he, the master of this world, would possess it, though that wasn't important.
Because the Tinkers' Compendium was a book that could be copied; you could create it with a simple blank cast.
Place a blank cast and a book in the crafting table to synthesize a Tinkers' Compendium.
The two quickly finished their bowls of rice, which might be another benefit of the modular system.
Even a large portion of rice would dissolve directly upon entering the mouth, without causing discomfort, yet providing a great sense of satiety.
Shia then said, "This thing is really convenient.
If we had enough metal, we could even arm an army of tens of thousands in just one day!"
Zhou Ren smiled, "That's right.
Our future crossbow corps will definitely need a lot of crossbow bolts, and now we can make them!"
The crossbow bolts here weren't particularly complicated to make.
They only needed to recast a layer of metal on the arrow shaft, which had its own dedicated mold.
The most used material in this set was still metal, but in the Tinker's Construct mod, the greatest advantage was still the various materials, as different materials would have different effects.
For example, the cactus's most famous damage reflection effect, and the netherrack's relatively famous forced extra damage to non-nether creatures.
All of these things could be assembled using the Tinker's Construct tool station, and even paper bows had particularly unique inscription effects.
These effects varied and wouldn't be unified, possessing all sorts of special effects.
If you could carry enough bows and arrows, you could even create extraordinary combat styles.
Furthermore, the difference between the bows and arrows in Tinker's Construct and ordinary Minecraft bows and arrows was that each arrow wasn't calculated by the number of arrows, but by the arrow's durability.
This meant that before the durability of an arrow was completely exhausted, it could still be fired continuously without actually disappearing.
This was still a unique characteristic of Tinker's Construct, namely that durability would replace the original consumption.
He quickly made a simple bow template, having been making various furnaces all along, and hadn't started on the actual tools yet.
He had been using the original bows and arrows, and now that he had a better bow, he naturally wanted to try using it.
Even a short bow had faster shooting speed and higher stability than the original bow and arrow, and the long bow was jokingly called a sniper bow by players.
Because this bow not only had an extremely long range, but also had a very high aiming coefficient, basically not deviating with various attacks, making it a very good combat tool.
Of course, there were even better things to use, namely the crossbow, or rather, the heavy crossbow.
This was a relatively powerful crossbow in the Tinker's Construct series.
How powerful was it?
If you added all the bow enchantments and forced attack power, including various damage additions, it could even one-shot an iron golem.
That's right, it was that exaggerated.
Creatures with 100 health could be directly killed.
If he had this kind of crossbow during the grassland war, those giants would probably be killed in just two seconds after appearing.
But it wasn't too late to make it now.
He didn't need to deliberately pursue Manyullyn or other particularly powerful materials; even making ordinary tools into crossbows would probably be enough.
His skeleton squad could completely re-equip after using up all the durability of the bows and crossbows in their hands, so making the strongest bows and crossbows directly now wouldn't be ideal.
After all, neither Mithril nor Adamantine Alloy were actually sufficient in quantity, and the crafting method for Manyullyn, the strongest metal in Tinker's Construct, was also somewhat magical.
It required two nether metals, Cobalt and Ardite, to be fused in a 1:1 ratio in a molten state to be created.
But although he didn't have these relatively precious metals, he didn't lack iron and various minerals, so the simplest thing to do was to make iron crossbows.
Then, using Netherrack or Cactus, or even Paper parts, to load different characteristics, he could even research various matching ratios.
Moreover, all of these things could be assembled and enchanted using the Tinker's Construct tool station.
Just imagine how strong 50 bows and crossbows loaded with various materials and enchanted would be!
