Global Survival: Hundred Times Sign-In

Chapter 40 Black Iron Ore
Ye Cheng called Hu Jian'an and sent him this email.

After Hu Jian'an watched it carefully, he expressed his affirmative attitude towards the design drawings.

Ye Sheng simply sent the final payment of the design drawings to those engineers.

It is necessary to build an alliance fortress. There are two levels of security with fortress protection and without fortress.

Building a fort requires a lot of building materials, and currently almost only wood can be used.

The alliance fortress project is relatively large, and the wood needed is naturally not a small amount. It is obviously unrealistic to cut down trees by yourself. Even if you go hunting to make some equipment, it will not be faster than cutting down trees to make money.

Many players have limited abilities, and their best job is to chop trees, so the most indispensable thing in the trading shop is wood.

Ye Sheng is not a construction major, so he left the choice of wood to Hu Jian'an.

Ye Cheng transferred [-] copper coins to Hu Jian'an. Hu Jian'an was a sincere man, and Ye Cheng felt at ease with him.

"Of course, if there are other better materials, you can buy them back. If you don't have enough money, let me know."

Hu Jian'an continued: "Enough is enough. My brick kiln has already started firing bricks. I feel that this can be done. When I expand the scale of the brick kiln, we can use a lot of bricks."

Then Hu Jian'an excitedly explained this and that to Ye Cheng, and Ye Cheng probably understood.

Hu Jianan plans to use wood to build the general frame of the outer city wall, and then fill it with bricks after the bricks are fired, which can greatly improve the firmness and defense of the city wall.

At the same time, Hu Jianan has successfully fired cement in the past few days. Although the equipment is limited and the quality of the fired cement is not very good, it can be used in the past and can also strengthen the stability of the building structure.

Ye Cheng watched Hu Jianan's excitement when he talked about architecture, and couldn't help but smile. This Hu Jianan also really loves his industry. Perhaps it is this love that gave him the talent of "architecture madman" .

After resting, Ye Sheng started this afternoon's forging schedule.

He is quite familiar with the forging process of Nepalese sabers now, and it only takes a little over an hour to make each saber.

The score is also basically hovering around [-], but it may be difficult to reach [-] due to the limitations of drawings and materials.

The deal between Ye Sheng and Du Xuyang is still going on these days, every day the iron ore that Du Xuyang sent Ye Sheng was refined into iron ingots.

Anyway, there are advanced metal refining devices, and it is not difficult to extract iron ore.

In addition, Hu Jianan also used a little iron ore powder to burn bricks and cement.

"Ding ding ding!"

Ye Cheng blacksmithing is in full swing, and there was no forging equipment yesterday. There are already a lot of iron ingots piled up in the alliance, so he can just forge like crazy now.

[Congratulations to the player for triggering the alliance technology 'Practice' during the forging, gaining strength +1]

As the afternoon passed, the sky was no longer so bright.

This afternoon Ye Sheng forged a total of six sabers, and was successfully promoted to the third-level blacksmith.

[Blacksmith, current level: lv3, experience value: 4/300.Forging speed +15%, forging quality +15%]

After the upgrade, Ye Cheng seemed to have a deeper understanding of forging technology suddenly, and he also realized the forging technique.

"Perhaps we should find some more challenging equipment to forge..." Ye Cheng murmured softly.

The equipment blueprints in the mall are as expensive as ever, so Ye Sheng still went to the forum to find the kind of paid posts where players introduced forging blueprints.

"Tang Dao?"

Ye Cheng saw the introduction of this paid post, and there were several pictures of the post owner forging Tang knives by himself.

The post got a lot of praise, Ye Sheng paid five hundred copper coins to browse the post with confidence.

Tang Dao is the general term for the four types of military swords used by Blue Star during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The manufacturing drawings issued by the post owner here are Tang Heng Dao.

Looking at the drawings, Tang Hengdao has a narrow and straight blade with a small handle and a long handle (can be held with both hands).

The degree of forging is more complicated and fine than that of the Nepalese Army Knife, especially the cutting edge requires additional local quenching technology.

Ye Cheng watched it for a while, then understood and remembered the various steps in his heart.

When Ye Cheng was having dinner, he was still thinking about Tang Hengdao's forging, so he couldn't help but hastily finished the dinner, picked two iron ingots with better quality, and began to think about practicing forging.

Although most of Tang Hengdao's forging processes are not much different from before, Ye Cheng still took a lot of time because of the extra steps.

By the time the first Tang Hengdao forged by Ye Cheng came out, two hours had passed quickly.

"Only 52 points?"

Ye Cheng was quite dissatisfied. He remembered that when he first forged the Nepalese saber, he scored more than 60 points.

Forging a Tang Hengdao gave Ye Sheng 14 experience points. Compared with the Nepalese Saber, the efficiency of gaining experience is not so high.

"It's okay, take your time, the speed and score will increase."

Ye Cheng's fingers lightly ran across Tang Hengdao's back, his eyes filled with love.

The Tang Hengdao is nearly one meter long and has a long handle for holding the knife with both hands, so the attack distance of the whole knife is far greater than that of the Nepalese Army Knife.

Therefore, two iron ingots are required to forge a Tang Hengdao.

While blacksmithing, Ye Cheng continued to forge the next Tang Hengdao.

When the second Tang Hengdao came to an end, Du Xuyang happened to send a text message.

Ye Cheng kept working hard, and shouted:
"Hey, Xiaobei! Help me read the text message from Du Xuyang."

"Okay, master." Little Bei paused, and continued to speak:
"God Ye, today I discovered a new type of ore, which is of better quality than the original iron ore!"

The second Tang Hengdao in Ye Cheng's hand was completed, but the score still didn't reach sixty.

The news from Du Xuyang caught Ye Cheng's attention. He had long wanted to find better metal ores.

Du Xuyang sent a piece of jet-black ore, and the system marked it as [sparse black iron ore].

Ye Cheng was taken aback, he remembered that the iron ore before was all [enriched iron ore].

The black iron ore was very heavy in the hand, so Ye Cheng walked to the metal refining device and threw the black iron ore into it.

With a move of both hands, Ye Cheng manipulated the fire element to heat up the iron-making furnace.

Ye Cheng, an eighth-level flame magician, has a strong ability to control fire, and it didn't take long for him to refine the black iron ore.

Ye Cheng wrapped his palms with fire elements, so he didn't worry about getting hot when he ingested the black iron ingots that were just out of the oven.

In the past, a complete iron ingot could be extracted from a piece of enriched iron ore, but the black iron ingot in his hand is only about one-tenth of its size.

However, the texture of black iron is tight, and its hardness is far superior to that of iron ingots. It must be used for forging equipment with excellent results.

Ye Cheng asked Du Xuyang how much black iron ore there was. Du Xuyang only said that he only had a few pieces now, but he had already traveled to a deeper area of ​​the wasteland, where similar black iron ore could often be found in this area.

Ye Cheng discussed the price with Du Xuyang again. Du Xuyang still didn't want copper coins, but asked Ye Cheng to give him more animal meat, preferably of higher grade.

And specifically asked that no vegetables and fruits are required.
