After leaving the Moza river, Dean ordered the carriage to go to the nearest raw material market.
"What are we going to do there?" Sergei who was sitting in the same carriage looked at Dean in surprise.
Dean glanced at him: "What do you think we can do in the raw materials market?"
"Buy raw materials?" Sergei held back his displeasure: "Aren't you going to take me to hunt outside the giant wall?"
Dean rolled his eyes: "How many can you kill without a weapon?"
Sergei snorted and proudly said: "Even if I'm unarmed, I can kill hundreds of monsters below level 20 in a day. But if I wait for my body to recover, hmph …"
"That's too little." Dean shook his head.
Sergei was stunned: "Too little?"
"Pitifully little."
"…"
After a moment, both of them came to the raw materials market in the eastern district. The area of the market was very large. It was about the size of a small town. It contained raw materials of various materials. The roads were extremely spacious so that they could shuttle through the market.
It was still early but there were a lot of people gathered in the market. They were waiting in front of various chambers of commerce. If one took a closer look one would know that these chambers of commerce had discount activities today.
Dean ordered the coachman to go directly to the steel market.
Among all kinds of minerals, coal and other natural raw materials, steel was one of the new materials produced by the 'Temple of Elements'. The history of steel was decades earlier than 'plastic'. It was called an artificial raw material like 'plastic'. Although the history of steel wasn't as good as coal and raw minerals but the demand wasn't inferior to the former. There were many chambers of commerce selling steel in the raw materials market. Tens of thousands of tons of steel were traded every day.
Dean knew that behind such a huge turnover was the rapid transformation of the living environment within the giant wall. However, due to the limitations of the current smelting technology, the quality of the steel in the market was far from what he needed. It could only be used to make ordinary firearms and hot weapons such as cannons. The quality of the steel was far from enough to make tanks, armored vehicles and so on.
Therefore, Dean was ready to refine and temper the steel to improve the purity. But to get satisfactory steel he needed to pass through the electro-slag remelting environment which required the use of electricity.
As the saying goes, pull one hair and move the whole body. Dudian had planned to make a generator, but not a modern generator, but an early hand-cranked DC generator.
Dudian got off the carriage and took Sergei to a steel chamber of commerce. If he remembered correctly, the backing of this steel chamber of commerce was the Huasheng consortium. At present, the only consortium that wouldn't fall out with the Ryan family was the Huasheng consortium. Although they had sold the military crossbow to the Ryan family last time, but this was a negotiation. They wouldn't become enemies because of it. Moreover, it was a matter of mutual consent.
"Unfortunately, our consortium doesn't have a Chamber of Commerce …" Dean looked at the majestic gate of the Chamber of Commerce and sighed in his heart. He walked into the Chamber of Commerce.
"Welcome," the maid at the door said respectfully.
Dean came into the hall. The magnificent hall made people feel small but he was used to such luxurious clothes. He glanced around and a beautiful middle-aged woman quickly came over. She glanced at the tall and sturdy Sergei and smiled: "Master, what do you need?"
Dudian calmly asked: "What is the best steel model?"
"The best steel is the X30 type." The middle-aged woman smiled.
Dudian nodded: "OK, I want to order ten tons."
"Ten tons?" The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up: "No problem. Do you know the price?"
"Yes." Dudian nodded.
The middle-aged woman was relieved: "Please wait a moment." She hurried away.
Sergei looked at Dudian and asked: "Why did you come to buy steel? Do you know a powerful craftsman? Even if you want to save money, you shouldn't be so frugal. "
Dudian whispered: "Shut up."
Sergei's eyebrows slightly raised as he looked down at the boy. He clenched his fingers but didn't speak again.
"Hey, this person is …" Suddenly a surprised voice echoed from the side.
Dudian looked over and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl looking at him. She was dressed in simple clothes but Dudian saw a medal on her chest. It was a hexagonal shield. It was the medal of the 'Temple of Elements'. The pattern of the medal was a golden hand which represented the metal element faction.
"It's really me!" The girl's eyes widened as she saw Dudian's face: "Are you architect Dean?"
Dean didn't expect to meet an architect from the 'Temple of Elements' here. It seems that his reputation in this circle is really resounding. He nodded: "Hello, it's me."
The girl was surprised: "My name is Ai Lan. It's an honor to see you in person!"
Dudian smiled: "You are too polite."
The girl suddenly thought of something: "I remember that you are an architect from the wood element faction. What are you doing here? Are you here to buy steel? Are you going to add steel to your new invention? " His eyes were full of excitement and worship. Although Dean's' military crossbow 'belonged to wood element but the crossbow bolt was made of metal. So it was a combination of wood element and metal element. However, wood element was the dominant element.
For an Oracle, it was already very impressive to be able to mobilize the elements they belonged to and create a new divine art. It was even more difficult to add other elements into it, and it also proved a kind of talent and attainments from the side.
Dudian smiled: "Maybe my new invention will be a metal element one."
The girl covered her mouth: "You really know how to joke. If that's the case then you are an architect of two elements and both of them are very powerful!"
Dudian smiled but didn't say anything.
"Ai Lan, who are you talking to?" A voice echoed from behind.
Ai Lan looked back and saw a young man dressed in an expensive suit. He was tall and had blonde hair. He was full of noble temperament and had a medal on his chest. He was also an architect of metal element.
The young man came forward and pulled Ai Lan. He looked at Dudian with hostility. If he didn't notice the two meters tall bodyguard standing behind Dudian he would have given him a cold face.
Ai Lan saw that the young man didn't recognize Dudian so she excitedly introduced him: "He is the genius architect Dean. He is the youngest person to win the epoch medal. We are so lucky to meet him here."
The young man was startled as he looked at Dudian. The hostility on his face didn't fade but became thicker. He pulled Ai Lan's hand: "Ai Lan, come with me. I have something to tell you." He grabbed her hand and turned away.
Ai Lan was at a loss but didn't resist.
Dean quietly watched. He saw that the two of them had walked to a corner far away from his line of sight. The youth lowered his voice and said: "Don't get close to this person. He is too dangerous."
"Dangerous?"
"You don't understand. Although this person is talented but he is arrogant. He has offended a big consortium. Our family will be in trouble if people know that I have been in contact with him."
"Ah, is it that serious?"
"Well, don't get close to him in the future. I hope that no one saw what happened just now …"
Dudian's eyes lit up as he heard their voices.
