Chapter 152

Master Owen said that although he was very interested in new surgical procedures, he was very unhappy about being deceived and had to stay.

"No, absolutely not!" Cecil said categorically, "There is no such thing as deceit, I am completely devoted to magic, but magic has no love for me, no matter how hard I try, I can't get the favor of magic. Don't blame me!"

What Langdon ordered thousands and thousands of times to never reveal the truth was not only related to Cecil's identity, but also to offend others.

Master Owen seemed a little skeptical, but finally decided to look forward: "What do you mean by this hair transplant?"

"Have you done an anatomy? Hair is like a plant. There is something called a hair follicle planted in the skin. Hair can grow after absorbing nutrients through capillaries. If we can transplant hair follicles, we can make hair grow anywhere It's time!" Cecil explained graciously.

Owen pondered for a while: "But, I have never seen any hair follicles or capillaries, are you sure?"

Cecil said in surprise, "Don't you know microscopic magic?"

"What's that?" Master Owen didn't look like he was lying. After Cecil explained, he shook his head, "That's the spell of the Magic Food Alliance, how would I know?"

Cecil suddenly understood, and said with regret and joy: "Then you just wait for the eye-opening!"

After saying goodbye to the expectant Master Owen, Cecil immediately contacted "Juluode". The Magic Food Alliance has specially studied a lot of microscopic spells for the study of microorganisms, which can be regarded as useful. At the same time, he has formed a high prejudice against magic. The wall is very disgusting, and this prejudice has spread to all walks of life. For example, Master Owen doesn't know about microscopic magic, which wastes a lot of time.

Fortunately, the "wall of prejudice" in Yuecheng has been completely broken, as long as it is easy to use, it is no problem.

There was news from the Gay Knights that Oakes could temporarily stay in Moon City to wait for orders.After passing the news along the way, nothing happened. After he and Russell wandered around for a few days, when he saw Cecil again, his attitude became much more respectful.

"I didn't expect you to do such a great job," Oakes said.

With an expression of seeing a ghost, Cecil leaned against the wall and said cautiously, "Ochs?"

Oakes twitched the corner of his mouth: "It was on the front line of lava that I realized how great what you have done. Damascus steel is very useful."

Cecil was taken aback and asked, "Do you have Damascus steel?"

After Tanbunita bought the Damascus steel, he sent ten foundries to Moon City to study. It was not easy, not to mention the strange rules of Moon City. The flame goblin alone made these foundries "eye-opening" "——someone dared to yell at a magic casting master, it's simply desperate!

Fire goblins didn't die, of course, and they didn't care, their only and favorite way to die was to be burned alive, whether they died or were murdered.

Whenever a flame goblin dies in the flames, hard and sharp iron will appear, which is a saying spread by the flame goblin family.

"This is because there are chemical elements in human blood!" Helen said disdainfully. After communicating with Cecil, she quickly learned many modern terms, and her thinking became much broader.

The flame goblins don't care, they don't care about anything, and naturally they don't care whether the forgemen sent by Tanbunita are magic forgemen, and ordering these forgemen is like ordering servants.

Tambunita's casters put up with it, and soon learned to ignore the "Smurfs". They were surprised to find that the real masters were two women. When there was no respect, the pride shattered by the flame goblins exploded, and they yelled at Helen and Cindy, demanding that they immediately hand over the method of making Damascus steel.

This sparked a mess.

Helen and Cindy didn't suffer any injuries. On the contrary, the heads of three magic casting masters were chopped off. There were sharp swords everywhere in the foundry workshop, and Cindy's strength was indeed extraordinary.

Cecil apologized to King Tambunita for this, and the piercing smile squeezed out of the magical communication disappeared after the conversation was over.

"Don't be angry, my lord." Langdon thought Cecil was wronged, hugged him and comforted him, "This is only temporary, one day we can forget about Tambunita."

"No." Cecil sighed, "I'm not angry, I'm just... the king of Tambunita didn't have any intention of defending the dead foundry, I'm not saying that the three people are right, just Sin does not kill."

Langdon was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Make life more precious, I believe you will do it, my king."

It took Tanbunita five months to learn Damascus steel, mainly due to the bad attitude of the magic casters and their indifference to experience creators. After that, it is said that many Damascus swords and armors were made, and the sales were quite good.

"The Damascus steel knives made by Tanbunita are very useful, and the Gay Knights bought a lot." Oakes said, "Damascus steel is a natural nemesis for the natural monsters on the lava front, and these monsters usually use low-level magic as their base. The main means of attack, because they can survive almost by eating mana, low-level magic is all silent and instant, and the magic bit is not restricted, so the appearance of Damascus steel completely collapsed them, and our frontline has advanced a lot. Well, it's all due to you, Your Majesty."

Damascus steel has been comprehensively tested by Tanbunita, and it is found that it has a protective effect of up to 3% against low-level attack magic below level 90. At the same time, it can crush magic props below level 4 and has the effect of isolating magic effects. More valuable Yes, this kind of thing can be mass-produced on a large scale, and both material cost and manpower are very low.

Oakes solemnly performed a dignified knight's salute.

Cecil was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He regarded Oakes as a friend, and the concept of "beggars have the freedom to ignore billionaires" does not conform to the concept of this world, and he has never been able to Accepting class is so naked.

Oakes watched Cecil slowly smile until Cecil couldn't bear to turn his head away. He snapped his fingers and said triumphantly to Russell: "Look, I knew he wasn't made to be a king. He didn't have that." attitude."

Cecil: "..."

I'll let you see if I have the posture... In fact, I really don't, forget it.

"Does Burton feel distressed every time he buys Damascus steel?" Russell asked gratified.

"I'm so angry!" Speaking of the pain of the bosses, wage earners all over the universe are in the same mood, Oakes said happily, "Every time we ask for Damascus steel, Burton will attach a letter. You know , every time he writes a letter, he has to use that kind of colored paper, sprinkle perfume, add wax, etc., and the same is true for official documents, but every time Damascus steel comes, he will just get a piece of straw paper and write on it. Do you live on Damascus steel', hahahaha!"

Russell laughed out loud, with a smug expression on his face, which made Cecil's tooth ache.

If you think about it carefully, the "business" of Damascus steel is indeed a loss. If we have withstood the pressure of Tambunita at that time, is it now our turn to make a fortune?

"Don't think about it." Langdon saw Cecil's thoughts, "If you hold on, you might not have the current Moon City."

Cecil sighed and cheered up: "Let's not talk about the past, I have a new thing now!" He took out a magic teacup, pure white, which looked no different from porcelain, "If there is something similar The material is thinner than this, almost translucent when viewed from the light, and may be a little less solid, what do you think of the sales volume?"

The Wang Qimen looked at each other for a few seconds, and Russell smiled and said: "Which industry do you want to engage in this time?"

"I don't know." Cecil laughed. "What industry is this cup made?"

"Magic pottery firm," Langdon replied.

Magic pottery firms specialize in applying magic to ordinary pottery to turn it into porcelain. They are different from the pottery industry. Pottery making is pottery making. They don't specifically fire any products, they just turn pottery into porcelain.In fact, there is no such thing as porcelain in this world, it's just the convenience of understanding brought by interpreting magic to Cecil.

Cecil excitedly went to see Keke and Peppery. The two underground residents were of course interested in life on the ground, but their bodies were not suitable for such an environment.

"The sun is so bright!"

“The air is so clean!”

"It's so empty and scary!"

"The wind is so strong! My hair is blown!"

As soon as they met, the two underground residents who suffered from baldness complained a lot. Cecil smiled and said: "Master Owen has already started to study the treatment of hair loss, and I believe there will be results soon. Before that, we Can I go to the mine first?"

"This is impossible!" Pibali said vigilantly, "People on the ground always take promises lightly, and they can't say anything until they are cured!"

Cecil's smile froze, and he said, "Then... how about I come to think of a solution for you, and try to solve your problem first? I mean not fundamentally, but to cover it up first .”

Keke's marble-like eyeballs and Pibali looked at each other, as if they had reached a tacit understanding.

"You can try."

The "solution" Cecil was talking about was silk.

Since we want to engage in the textile industry, let’s engage in the fashion industry by the way. There is a lot of oil and water and it does not conflict with the local industry, the gold industry.In the past two years, Cecil found not only silkworms but also mulberry trees. It was not difficult. The Magic Food Alliance took care of most of the actions, raising silkworms, spinning silk, and growing trees. After two years of experiments, it was almost mature. , the difficulty is how to form a large-scale industry.

The most important thing in the textile industry is the textile machine. Although all manual work can bring a lot of labor jobs, the low output will inevitably lead to high prices, which is not in line with Cecil's vision.

The problem now is: if you want to make white porcelain, you must find a white porcelain mine. If you want to find a white porcelain mine, you have to solve the baldness problem for Pibali. If you want to solve the baldness, you have to wait for Master Owen and "Juluode" to study together, and it will take time, Cecil He couldn't wait that long—in fact, he didn't know whether the hair transplant could be done, it was too mysterious—so he wanted to use silk as a perfunctory, and the texture of Pibali's silver hair was indeed very similar to silk.

Cecil came to the research center, after two years of frugality—not that he didn’t mean to be true, for a period of time he didn’t even have to eat meat, he ate magic bread every day, and he had to find a way to make every bit of natural resources into commodities to earn money. "Foreign Exchange" - After the pain, the results come naturally.

The research center of the Middle Kingdom is located in the old center of Yuecheng, where the original four mud houses were located. There used to be the original public toilets, the original small square, and the original "palace meeting room". The fence, being able to work inside the wall is the yearning of everyone in the Middle Kingdom.

With huge financial support, you can study whatever you want to study, encourage unconstrained thinking, and get personal guidance from His Majesty the King... Salary?what is that?Don't care at all!

In fact, Cecil couldn't send it out, so it was offset by shares. As long as a new product is produced, it can be collected on the profit.

The best role model is Danny. Since he figured out how to make new-style tanned furs, his personal income once hit Yuecheng's net profit. Unfortunately, his income shrank rapidly after others figured out his method.However, people don't care at all. He is now researching "Leather Dyeing Agent and Waterproofing".

Master Owen's treatment house is also inside, as well as the carpentry school, where Cecil is coming to watch the process of the loom.

Huang Daopo looms not only appear in textbooks, but also in museums across the South. When Cecil was a black tour guide, he had never seen a hundred, but he had seen ten. He could even remember it without Langdon's memory magic. .He drew the wooden textile machine as it is, without power, and it is all made of wood, which is in line with the industrial level of this world, and it can be used immediately.

Cecil felt that after four years of development, isn't this "little thing" Moon City Research Center within reach?

As soon as he stepped into the carpentry yard, Cecil saw the conspicuous textile machine on the square at a glance. It was decent and not bad at all. The problem was that it was all metal!

He walked over with a confused face, hesitated for a while and touched it, yes, it is really metal!

"What is this?" Cecil asked the carpenter who was waiting beside him.

"The textile machine you want." The carpenter looked a little unnatural, "The one called Huang Daopo."

"The textile machine I drew is made of wood." Cecil was bewildered, "Are you a woodworking research institute?"

"Yes..." The carpenter lowered his head in shame, "That's right, the flame goblin said that metal is stronger for things like this."

Cecil was silent for a while, and tried to sit before weaving and step on the pedal, imagining that there was cloth on the loom—it was impossible to step on it, the loom made of all metal was too heavy!

Damn who did this death? !

A touch of powder blue appeared in the corner of Cecil's eyes. He turned his head and saw the flame goblin walking over with a proud look, and said, "How is it, Your Majesty? The latest product of the Metal Casting Institute, a classic embodiment of welding, this Is the metal loom as you wish?"

The foundry workshop became a foundry research institute, and the number of flame goblins expanded to more than 100, most of them were workers, and the leaders were Helen and Cindy.They don't seem to care much who is the leader, as long as they can be near the flames.

After Cecil built a blast furnace for the Foundry Research Institute, and found oil extracts to obtain higher-temperature combustion flames, the flame goblins didn't even care about wages.

Welding is an invention in this situation. Of course, unlike modern welding, the welding here must be close to the blast furnace's fire release point. A tube made of refractory monster leather is wrapped with thick leather for heat insulation. The mouth is equipped with a magical cover, and as long as the cover is opened, the flame will be ejected to form a tongue of fire.

This kind of welding is very rough, fixed in place, unable to adjust the thickness and temperature, but it can also be used as an alternative system, so the weird metal textile machine appeared.

"I want you to build a steam engine, but you haven't done it for three years! You shouldn't be meddling in the things you should meddle in, and you can't do a single thing well! You make your own decisions all day long, are your brains made of tofu brains? ? The illithids don't even want to eat it!"

Cecil insulted the flame goblins at a very high level. He scolded the flame goblins from multiple angles and all directions. At the same time, he repeatedly emphasized that Vulcan despised them and didn't even look at them. He had already received Vulcan's A handwritten letter from him, in which he stated that he would never look at the flame goblins...

The flame goblin cried and ran away. The carpenter standing aside had a familiar expression on his face. This was not the first time this happened. All departments in the research center knew what His Majesty the king thought of the flame goblin.

After cursing the flame goblin, Cecil felt his eyes hurt when he glanced at the all-metal spinning machine.

Why don't you go to heaven? !Why not build a metal toilet! ?

After returning to the conference room angrily, Cecil felt that the day was wasted in vain. Now that the Middle Kingdom has a formal civil service system, Langdon found some reliable friends to join, and the number of pure citizens gradually increased. It's far from enough, but after all, it supports the daily affairs, and he won't be too busy to die suddenly.

There is still no palace, but there is a conference building, not far from the research center, a seven-story building with a wide garden balcony and a top floor, within walking distance. There are not many commercial buildings and residential buildings around, and it is very clean. Also for safety.

After two years of construction, the clean and flat roads and rich greenery of Moon City make the city look like a garden. If you ignore the oxen and carts passing by on the road, the mages in robes and holding staffs, it looks similar to cities on the earth. There is almost no difference.

It was spring at this time, the green trees sprouted, the spring flowers were in full bloom, and the scenery was pleasant. A messenger from afar was admiring the street scene in the public carriage while thinking about the conversation when we met later.

Cecil is sulking. Such a large metal loom is not only a waste of manpower and time, but also a waste of materials. The toughness and strength of the returned steel will decrease, so it can only be used to make daily necessities.At present, not only has the steam engine not been produced, Helen and Cindy have not been able to research other new types of materials. Although Baisteel has been successfully researched, it has not surpassed Damascus steel in terms of manufacturing efficiency and finished product quality.

"A messenger is visiting, Your Majesty." Guangshu poked his head in. He is now Cecil's valet, similar to a secretary. "She said she was from the Western Continent."

Western continent?

The Essie Tunnel has not been officially opened to traffic, and it is still under construction. If someone passes through the tunnel, it will definitely not work. Then this person came from the sea?

"No, Your Majesty, I came via High Court." The envoy gave an unexpected answer.

In fact, when he saw the messenger, Cecil guessed the identity of the other party.

With a tall and slender figure, a beautiful face, pearls in her mouth and gold on her head, this woman vividly interprets the classic image of an elf. Rather, she is the elf in Cecil's impression.

The messenger's attitude was reserved yet friendly, and his voice was as crisp as a bird's song: "You probably don't know me, I am..."

"Green Bank Elf." Cecil interjected, this is a necessary negotiation skill, taking a little initiative, "Am I guessing right?"

"That's right." The woman smiled slightly, "You are as omniscient as the rumors say." After that, various metaphors and polite words lasted for 5 minutes.

It is always pleasant to be praised by a beautiful woman, especially this kind of beauty beyond ordinary people. Cecil smiled, and suddenly heard a cough coming from beside him, glanced at Langdon, and immediately said seriously: "You are not far away. What's the matter here? Please speak directly, you don't need to be polite here, we all speak directly."

This has almost become an unspoken rule. People who come to Moon City to do business gradually get used to abandoning polite words, including the king's envoys. This is what Cecil is happy to see.

The Green Bank Elf was stunned for a moment. This was supposed to be the part where Cecil was touting her return. She was at a loss when she was interrupted like this, as if she couldn't think of how to continue.

This reaction was exactly the same as that of the person Cecil saw a few years ago, and he couldn't help feeling nostalgic, so he softened his tone and said, "What are you here for?"

"Forge, form an alliance." Although he hesitated for a while, the elf still confessed the matter, "We need your...attention."

Cecil felt that the beauty probably wanted to say "help", but her posture was too low and weak, so she temporarily changed the word.

"Which aspect of concern?"

"Do you know about the magic fair?"

Ah, Cecil missed it even more.

The development of Moon City entered a high-speed period after the Magic Expo. The Magic Expo allowed Cecil to earn his first pot of gold and laid the foundation for development.However, since the fall of Yuncheng, Yuecheng has never participated in the expo again, because the invitation to the expo was sent to the Gay Knights. I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional. The expo has never invited the Middle Kingdom. It is necessary to put a hot face on a cold ass, if he hadn't fought against Yuncheng at that time, he would not have established civilization so quickly.

Accumulate food widely, build high walls, and become king slowly, the truth.

"Of course I know." Cecil said, "Do the Green Bank elves want to participate?"

"Yes." The elf took a breath, "We hope that the Middle Kingdom can participate in this year's expo with the Green Bank elves."
