Chapter 74 The Magic Furnace Cover
After confirming that the arc spell rune disk can be used to make electric arc furnaces to smelt steel, Xia Lin came to the Kyle potion shop again.

He needs to rely on the strength of these alchemists to manufacture the cover of the magic version of the 5-ton electric arc furnace he designed. After the steelmaking factory building and the electric arc furnace body are completed, steel smelting can begin.

But when he heard Xia Lin's idea, Master Conny Kyle looked at the strange creature with a full face.

"What's the matter, Master Connie? Can't the furnace cover I designed come true?"

"No, I was just wondering how the gods would have created a freak like you, using arc art to design a furnace? Thanks to you who figured it out, no wonder you were able to build that weird "Rune Variation and the Four Basics" like you Rune Theory comes.

Do not worry!You can make the furnace cover, but the price may be a bit expensive.

According to your requirements, the inside of the furnace cover must be resistant to high temperatures and must be able to conduct magic. I don't quite understand what it means to conduct electricity, but I think pure gold can definitely meet your requirements! "

Master Connie took out a few sheets of paper and began to write and draw on them with a carbon stick. After a while, he looked at the results and nodded with satisfaction:

"Well, the furnace cover you want needs about 6.5 pounds of fine gold, which is 611 gold lents. Including our manual costs and other material costs, let's count it as 650 gold lends!"

"650 Gold Lund?!!"

Xia Lin was taken aback by this terrible number, but after thinking about it, it seemed that the only thing that could meet her requirements was pure gold.

But this is not possible, even if he thinks that he is not short of money, he can't afford the money for the time being.

"650 Glenn is not much, in order to process fine gold, I have to go to the president of the blacksmith guild.

To carve forty arc spell rune formations on the furnace cover with an area of ​​no more than two big al (about 3 square meters), and at the same time adjust their parts inlaid with magic stones to the same place to achieve the graded activation effect you need, It's difficult even for me, if it doesn't sound interesting, I don't want to accept your commission! "

Master Conny tapped the drawings on the table with his fingers, emphasizing how difficult it was for him to realize Xia Lin's vision.

"The president of the blacksmith's guild? You mean Master Orgin Bronzebeard? Could it be that even a master alchemist like you has not mastered the craft of processing fine gold?"

Xia Lin asked in surprise when she heard Master Connie's words.

"Oh? So you still know Master Holkin? Then maybe I can cut your price by ten or twenty Jinlunt.

But how can fine gold be processed as easily as you imagined?I have mastered a processing technology.

But compared to the methods handed down from ancient times in the dwarf clan, the materials consumed are too precious, almost equivalent to the value of pure gold, and the effect is not as good as Master Holkin's method. "

Master Conny glanced at Xia Lin unexpectedly, shook his head and denied his statement.

It turned out to be due to the cost. It seems that Master Holkin's fine gold processing technology is really rare. Xia Lin thought about it, and then thought of the problem of his magic electric arc furnace cover.

Since the main cost of the electric arc furnace cover is pure gold, I can completely consider using other materials to replace this part of the pure gold, but after much deliberation, Xia Lin found that there is no metal that can achieve the effect of pure gold.

Mithril, which is cheaper than fine gold, has extremely high magical properties, but its hardness and stiffness are much worse than fine gold, which hardly wears out. At the same time, its melting point is also much lower than fine gold, so it is very likely to be durable. Can not withstand the high temperature generated by the electric arc furnace.

The most commendable advantage of Mithril is that it can obtain memory through a special processing method.

That is to say, the mithril armor made in a special way will automatically repair itself over time even if it is damaged, which is amazing.

After realizing that going down this road would be a huge dead end, Xia Lin finally changed his mind and decided to overthrow his previous design of depicting the rune circle inside the furnace cover, and adopted the method of depicting the rune circle outside the furnace cover, and adding a One-layer insulation design.

As for the current generated by the rune array, it is introduced into the electric arc furnace through fine gold electrodes, so that the cost will be greatly reduced, and there is no need to consider the heat insulation of the rune array inside the furnace cover.

After I find natural graphite and successfully make graphite electrodes, I can replace these fine golds that are also expensive.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin nodded secretly, took out the pen and paper and drawing tools and began to draw the new structure of the electric arc furnace cover.

Master Connie watched with great interest. As an alchemist and a craftsman among magicians, he was also very interested in Xia Lin's novel way of drawing.

Soon, Xia Lin drew up the blueprint of the new magic version of the electric arc furnace cover, and he pressed the blueprint on the table and handed it to Master Connie:

"Master Connie, look at the furnace cover with this structure. You don't need to worry about the high temperature resistance of the magic circle, and you don't need to consider the problem of magic guidance. You only need a column of pure gold. How long does it take for the rune circle on it to be finished?" Finished? How much does it cost?"

"Hmm... Is that so? I think it should be completed within thirteen days! If you only use this bit of fine gold, it will take about 120 gold lunds and it will be enough!"

Master Connie took the drawing and looked at it, and gave an approximate time and budget.

"Huh... that's good, then let's sign a commission contract! The time can be extended to fourteen days, and I will send someone over to pick up the goods when the time comes!"

"no problem!"

Master Connie nodded.

With the promise of Master Connie, Xia Lin finally solved the problem of the electric arc furnace cover, but this is only a part of the electric arc furnace, or even a part of the furnace cover.

Next, he had to use refractory bricks and steel to manufacture the electric arc furnace body and the part that combined with the furnace cover produced by the alchemy workshop.

In Xia Lin's design, the main part of the furnace cover carving rune array is made of magic copper, and the furnace cover made of magic copper has no heat insulation effect, so Xia Lin's finished electric arc furnace will be an ordinary electric arc furnace. The furnace body, plus a three-layer furnace cover.

From top to bottom, the three-layer furnace cover is divided into three layers: the insulation and control layer, the working layer, and the heat insulation layer of the furnace cover. A fine gold electrode runs through it, which is used to guide the current generated by the working layer into the electric arc furnace. .

When the time comes to start smelting steel, you only need to put the pig iron, wrought iron and lime purchased from the market into the electric arc furnace according to a certain ratio, start the arc spell rune circle, and the current generated by ten to forty rune circles It can enter the furnace body along the fine gold rod, and use the high heat of the high-energy arc to melt the iron material inside.

There is nothing special about the subsequent slag making and slag removal process, but the conditions are limited. Xia Lin only plans to add limestone as a desulfurization and dephosphorization agent.

There are no other deoxidizers such as metal aluminum, metal silicon, ferrosilicon, and iron ore for steelmaking. Therefore, the performance of steel can only depend on the quality of pig iron and wrought iron in the raw materials.
