Bosley nodded at Brando's words.
"Then, my lord, what did you say you had in mind?" Bosley took out a pipe from his pocket, but he looked at Brando and remembered that he didn't like the smell of tobacco. He hesitated for a moment before putting it back.
"How's that thing going?" Brando didn't answer Bosley's question.
Bosley was startled for a moment, but he quickly reacted: "My lord, are you talking about that thing? We've already made more than two hundred sets. The workshop has been fully operational recently.
But we still don't have enough manpower. If we can expand the workshop to more than a hundred people, then I'll be able to meet your requirements. "
Two hundred sets. Brando calculated that it was slightly lower than his requirements. But this couldn't be helped. It was impossible to find enough skilled workers to expand the workshop to more than a hundred people.
Even if there were enough blacksmiths, there wouldn't be enough magic tools. Brando didn't even consider the time and cost of crafting armor.
He shook his head: "Grandmaster Bosley, even if we ignore the other difficulties, the Abies won't be able to support such a large workshop. Even if we add in Macsen, we don't have iron or coal — "
Brando paused for a moment before shaking his head: "It would be great if we could make an elemental furnace."
"Elemental furnace?" Bosley sharply raised his head. He had to deal with all kinds of furnaces in his trade. Even if he hadn't heard of this thing from Brando, he could guess what it was.
Brando nodded. An elemental furnace could directly absorb the elemental fire in the air for smelting. It was a major innovation in smithing technology.
But in the young man's memory, the fire elemental furnace was only invented about twenty years later, and the inventor was Erouine.
It was just that he couldn't remember that person's name for the time being. This was because in the next two decades, due to the skyrocketing of the mana tide, there would be many powerful people. There would also be endless inventions based on mana channeling devices. It was really too difficult to remember all of them.
Moreover, these things didn't have much to do with players, and Brando wasn't a Crafting Player in the past. He could not help but wish that his senior was here. She was an expert in this field.
However, he shook his head and discarded this unrealistic fantasy. Instead, he tried to remember that the guy who invented the fire element furnace was an Elementalist, born in a noble family. As for whether he was an Arreck or a Viero, Roland could not remember.
As he thought about it, he gave Bosley a brief explanation of its structure.
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Lord, is there really such a thing that doesn't use coal? Or some other kind of fuel? " Bosley's face was flushed red. He could almost imagine how significant this would be. Just from the economic aspect alone, it would save them an immeasurable amount of money.
Not to mention, the purity of the flame created by the fire element was not an oxidation reaction in the ordinary sense. The significance of using this method to remove the impurities in the metal was comparable to obtaining a divine weapon for an old blacksmith like him.
"Yes, I read about it in an ancient document." Brando hesitated for a moment before replying, "I think it's a lost technology of the Buga wizards."
"A technology of the Buga wizards? My lord, the Buga wizards used magical forging — "Metisha frowned when she heard Brando's words, but her tone was still as gentle as ever," I don't think they used furnaces, right? Or did something change in the modern era? "
Brando was stunned. He immediately realized that he had misspoken. In the past, Metisha did not exist, so he could stubble as much as he wanted. But now, she was also a Silver Bloodline Elf and knew the history of the Buga craftsmen.
He thought for a moment and finally found an excuse, "I'm not sure about that. After all, I'm just a descendant of the Wizard Tower."
Metisha nodded, "But I think there's a possibility. It seems to be the Miirna's way of doing things." As she spoke, she looked at Brando with her bright silver eyes, "Elemental forging was lost before the War of the Holy Saints. I think the document you saw was a description of the technology of the Buga wizards against their enemies."
Brando was sweating profusely when he heard this explanation. He was glad that Metisha took the initiative to cover up this big lie. He had to admit that it was Martha's blessing. He prayed in his heart and nodded, "That's probably the case."
At this moment, Bosley seemed to have woken up from his daydream. He sighed and asked, "Sir, do you know the structure of this furnace?"
Structure?
Brando was stunned. He thought for a moment and looked at the old man, "The structure is actually quite simple. It's not difficult to draw it —"
"Then why don't we give it a try?" Bosley immediately jumped up in excitement. To this old man, the temptation of the Elemental Furnace was too great. He patted his chest excitedly and promised: "My lord, this old man may not have any other skills, but I dare to say that no one in Aouine can compare to me in the art of forging. Why don't you tell me about it? Who knows, maybe we can really recreate it!"
Brando shook his head, "It's not that simple, Grandmaster Bosley. The structure of this furnace is simple, but there are a few difficulties. First, it needs a mana core and a mana conduit. Second, it needs a method to collect the elemental particles in the air. "
"Third, it needs a method to convert the elemental particles into a continuous flame."
"The first difficulty requires the use of magic, the second is the use of Elementalists, and the third requires alchemy. As for the structure of the furnace, I believe you can easily solve it."
Brando shook his head, "But what about the other problems? Can you solve them?"
Bosley was speechless.
"Collecting the elemental particles in the air," Metisha spoke up, "It's actually not that difficult."
"Oh?"
"Little girl, you know about it?" Bosley jumped up and asked loudly. His loud voice attracted the attention of the craftsmen and apprentices around him. The old man's face reddened, but he couldn't hold back his excitement and asked again, "Then tell me, little girl. This thing is very important to us —"
Brando shook his head. He didn't think that this thing was that important. It was just a furnace. Although it solved the problem of fuel shortage, and perhaps it would improve Schafflund's silver smelting process, Tónigel didn't produce any iron. This was another bottleneck that could be a death sentence for Bosley's expansion plan.
In his plan, the expansion of Abies' factory would have to wait until his trip to Ampere Seale was over.
"My lord, don't underestimate this thing. It can save you a lot of money. With this money, you can buy more iron ores, and I can create more weapons and armor for you. You can also gather more troops —" Bosley reprimanded Brendel sternly. "My lord, don't underestimate this thing. It can save you a lot of money. With this money, you can buy more iron ores, and I can create more weapons and armor for you.
He paused for a moment before continuing, "My lord, aren't you loyal to the princess? Without an army, you can't even protect yourself. How can you support the princess? "
"The situation in the North is getting worse by the day. I don't think the princess can wait for the day my lord grows his wings."
Brendel felt a headache coming on when he heard the Grandmaster Blacksmith's nagging, and he quickly nodded in agreement. But when he heard Bosley mention money, he suddenly had an idea and changed his mind.
Bosley saw the significance of the Elemental Furnace, and so did the others. Not to mention how important it was to the blacksmithing and smelting industry, even if it was miniaturized and sold to the nobles, it would still be a profitable business.
Brando had decades of experience, and naturally knew that this was a profitable business. He was still worried about what goods to bring to Ampere Seale, but now it seemed that a bright future lay in front of him.
Thinking of this, he quickly nodded and interrupted Bosley's words, saying to Metisha, "Why don't you explain it to the master, Metisha?"
Metisha smiled and answered quietly, "It's actually very simple. You just need to use a magic array."
"Magic array?"
Brando frowned, "But the release of fire elemental energy requires a magic array. The absorption and release magic arrays can't be stacked together. Also, the absorption magic array can't withstand harsh conditions, unlike the release magic array which can withstand high temperatures … "
"If you use a reinforcement magic array, I'm afraid the absorption effect will be affected."
Although Brando only had a few levels of Alchemy, he still had the knowledge from the game, and this basic knowledge was not difficult for him.
"Let's separate them."
"If we separate them, what about the conduction of elemental energy?" Brando knew that the conduction of magic was no longer a problem in Wohnde, but the conduction of elemental energy was another problem.
At least until now, he had not heard of anyone who could transfer elemental energy, unless it was done by an Elementalist. But if an Elemental Furnace needed an Elementalist to be on duty 24 hours a day, then it would need at least six to seven Elementalists.
This investment was a bit of a loss that was not worth it.
"My lord, you forgot that I'm a Silver Elf." Metisha whispered.
Brando was stunned. What did this have to do with Silver Elves?
"Little one," But at this time, he suddenly heard Orthlyss's voice in his mind, "I've always wanted to ask, is the Silver Elf girl following you a Royal Elf?"
