As mentioned before, Prandal didn't have a unified measurement system. Every race and every place had their own set of measurements.
Edgar knew that there were at least three types.
Edgar was very clear about the result of a lack of unified measurement. It was very chaotic, and they had to familiarize themselves with every place they went.
And above that, there was no usable reference system.
Not to mention things like scales, there wasn't even a simple ruler.
Therefore, to judge whether a blacksmith was a good blacksmith, one of the key factors was whether the blacksmith could make weapons with ease.
What was ease?
It was the size that met the employer's requirements.
However, the result of not having an accurate measurement tool was that the size had to be grasped by the blacksmith's experience.
And now, Tang En had taken out such a simple tool and solved this problem.
If this ruler was combined with the three views that Tang En mentioned earlier, then the effect would not be so simple. It would be an earth-shattering change!
"I understand … I understand!"
Brian's eyes widened. "Big brother! You've solved a big problem! "
Tang En waved his hand very modestly. "It's just luck …"
The corner of Brian's mouth twitched. He felt that Tang En's expression was very annoying!
After knowing the use of the ruler, Brian of course knew what the big problem that Tang En was talking about was, so the three of them began to adjust the size.
"Cut down a little more over there … Oh right, big brother, let's talk. Do you still have Auguín? Can you give me some? "
"Here."
Without saying anything, Tang En took out an Auguín ingot from his bag and threw it to Brian.
Then, Brian was dumbfounded.
Then, Brian knelt down in front of Tang En.
An Auguín ingot … This is an Auguín ingot …
He actually threw it out without batting an eyelid …
What kind of person is this guy!
Even the royal family of a human empire can't be so extravagant!
Did he really rob the nest of a Megalosaurus!?
"Big brother! You're really my big brother! "
Tears streamed down Brian's face. "I'll follow you from now on!"
Even in the Dwarf Kingdom, it was not easy to get such a large piece of Auguín. Brian could see that if he followed Tang En, he would definitely not be stingy with such good materials in the future.
With these good materials, there was no need to fear that he would not be able to become a Grandmaster or Great Grandmaster!
Tang En patted Brian's head with a benevolent expression. "This is the right choice."
Tang En had just started out in Ellington, and he was in need of talents. Now that he could use an Auguín Ingot to bribe Bryan, a member of the Dwarf Royal Family, it was definitely profitable!
Not to mention one Auguin ingot, even if he wanted a whole set of Auguin ingots, a whole set of eternium ingots would be worth it!
Edgar looked enviously at the Auguin ingot in Brian's hand. That was Auguin, he also wanted it!
Tang En glanced at him, thought for a while, and took out another piece of Auguin ingot and threw it to Edgar. "Work hard in the future."
Edgar instantly wanted to sell his life to Tang En, but in the end …
Brian patted Edgar's thigh and said kindly, "As a disciple, shouldn't you be filial to your master when you have good things?"
Edgar felt that something was wrong and hugged the Auguin ingot tightly. "Wait! When did you agree to accept me as your disciple? "
"Just now — as your master, I feel that you don't need Auguin ingot now. It's a waste in your hands. Give it to me for safekeeping — you bastard! Why are you hugging me so tightly!? Do you want to disobey your master!? Give it to me! "
"No! No one will give it to! This piece of Auguin ingot is mine — even if it's my master, I won't give it to him! "
Brian and Edgar wrestled together, especially Brian. Because of his height, he couldn't snatch the Auguin ingot from Edgar's hands. He was so angry that he stomped his feet.
"Big brother! Are you just going to watch him abuse the precious Auguin ingot!? "
Tang En shrugged. "Anyway, I've already given it away … Besides, it's just an Auguin ingot. Why are you so agitated?"
An Auguin ingot is "just"?!
Does he still have eternium in his hands?!
When Brian saw Tang En like this, he became angry. Why does this guy have so many good things in his hands?!
Brian beat his chest and stamped his feet. These materials could only be maximized in the hands of the dwarves. It was simply a waste in his hands!
"I say, are you guys still going to work or not?"
Tang En raised his eyebrows. "If you don't work, give me back the Auguin ingot."
"Yes! I'll do it! "
Edgar and Brian didn't care about fighting with each other anymore and immediately began to work.
With the encouragement of the Auguin ingot, the efficiency of the two increased a lot. Coupled with Tang En's guidance, the parts of the press were soon adjusted and completely assembled.
Looking at the slightly rough press in front of him, Tang En couldn't help feeling emotional.
This was the beginning of the Prandal industry — not starting with the steam engine, but a press that directly used magic …
"Come and try it!"
Brian rubbed his palms. "I've already prepared an iron ingot."
They put the iron ingot in the top of the bottom mold and then stuck the bottom of the hammer in the top mold. Then Tang En put a magic crystal in the side slot of the press and put his hand on the switch he made. "Are you ready?"
"Yes!"
Brian and Edgar stared at the iron ingot.
Tang En took a deep breath. Whether they could succeed or not, it all depended on this!
Open!
The Gravity Amplification Magic Array absorbed the magic power and acted on the hammer above to offset the effect of the constant levitation spell. Then …
"Bang!"
The adamantine hammer suddenly fell and the smooth bottom hit the iron ingot. Then it floated in the air and fell again …
After a few times, Tang En turned off the Magic Array of the press and the three of them gathered together.
They tore off the squashed iron sheet next to it. Lying in the middle was the embryo of a scythe!
Brian took out the embryo. The embryo that had just been pressed was still lying on his hand, but he didn't care at all. He just stared at the embryo with shining eyes.
"It's well integrated and evenly distributed. As long as it's sharpened, it'll be a good scythe!"
Brian turned to look at Tang En. "Big brother, you've changed the whole Prandal forging industry!"
"No, it's not changing an industry." Tang En grinned. "It's opening an era."
Yes, what was about to open was the combination of magic and technology, the industrial era that only belonged to Prandal!
After confirming that the stamping function was working normally, Tang En and the rest gathered their energy and completed the assembly of the cutting machine and the sander. The scythe blank that was stamped out by the stamping machine was shaped by the cutting machine and then polished by the sander. It had already become shiny.
Edgar took it and tried it. He was very excited. "My lord, the quality of this scythe is very good!"
Tang En nodded slightly. Although this scythe was not as good as the one that Brian had made, it had only been a few breaths of time since it had turned from an iron ingot into a scythe!
If Brian had made it himself, although the quality would have been better, he probably wouldn't have been able to do anything else for the rest of the day.
In the case of a large number of requirements, quality had to give way to efficiency for the time being. With the improvement of the basic industry in the future, the requirements for quality would gradually be raised.
Edgar was very excited. "With the help of these three machines, as long as we get the molds and iron ingots, more than one thousand and five hundred sets of farming tools can be completed in two days!"
"The efficiency is really amazing, but big brother, these three machines all use magic crystals, right? How long can a piece of magic crystal last? "
Tang En said with a smile, "Don't worry, the efficiency of the magic array is very high, and I've added an energy-saving function. When it's not in use, it will automatically cut off the magic supply, so it saves a lot of magic crystals. When it's fully loaded, a normal magic crystal can work for thirty days. "
"Thirty days!?"
Brian's eyes widened and he counted with his fingers. "A normal magic crystal is worth one hundred gold coins. If we work for fifteen days, we can produce twenty thousand scythes in thirty days. One scythe is worth ten silver coins, so the output is … … two thousand gold coins!? The beard of a forging hammer! This is simply a huge profit! "
Tang En couldn't help laughing. The impact of the industrial revolution on traditional craftsmen was vividly displayed by Brian, but … …
"Actually, you can't calculate it like this. You didn't consider a few problems." Tang En reminded Brian. "For example, the cost of developing the stamping and cutting machines, as well as the impact of large amounts of scythes entering the market. The price of scythes will inevitably fall. In fact, a profit of one thousand gold coins is already not bad."
"You're still not satisfied with a thousand gold coins a month!"
Brian shouted. "If I could have a hundred gold coins a month, I would be beaming with joy! I could drink ale until I vomited! "
Tang En said with a smile, "Considering that there are only a thousand farmers in Ellington, the market will be saturated and it's impossible to make money. If we want to use these things to make money, we have to ship them out and sell them to other parts of the empire, or even other countries. But no matter what, we can definitely make money. "
It was still too early to consider shipping things out. The traffic situation in Prandal was very bad. A caravan would waste a lot of time going back and forth between the two towns. If they could only make so little money, perhaps no caravan would be willing to travel.
So, to really make money, he had to wait until he developed the peppermint product. Then, with the small products as a base and the good and cheap farming tools, it would be worth a trip for the caravan.
If Fiona knew this good news, she would probably be overjoyed.
She had always wanted to revitalize the Rosa d 'Oro family.
When the time came, Fiona would be in charge of the caravan. Tang En thought for a while and decided so.
