Heroes of Silver Moon

Chapter 542: : Magic Steel Plating

In the closed dock of the shipyard, a huge warship with a hideous shape was quietly being supported by many wooden frames.

In the empty dock, the sun cannot be seen from all directions, only the front exit, there is a ray of light carrying the sea breeze to reflect in the dock.

This is the secret shipyard of the shipyard. All heavyweight warships must be kept secret, because no one wants to see the performance information of the warship leaked.

Or before it was finished, it was secretly destroyed by some forces who didn't see the good of others!

The dock, which was noisy some time ago, was silent at the moment, and the workers and shipbuilders were ordered not to enter after the hull was completed.

It is brutal for a builder not to be able to see the completion of the wonder he helped build.

However, in order to keep Simon's secret and the information of this battleship, they had to do so.

In the empty and silent dock, there were only Simon and Clifford standing in front of the unfinished battleship, with a pile of silver-white metal blocks beside them.

"Boy, do you really decide to adopt this magic steel coating design?" Clifford asked solemnly, his eyes still on the hull of the battleship.

"Yeah!" Taking a deep breath, Simon nodded solemnly.

"Okay..." Clifford smiled wryly, turned his head to look at his student, and joked, "This is a giant warship built with all the efforts of the whole country. If your plan fails, Then you, me, His Majesty the King, the three of us must all become sinners of the Silver Moon Kingdom!"

Simon felt uncomfortable when he heard this, so he took another deep breath, exhaled the pressure hidden in his heart, and said with a smile: "So, we will definitely succeed!"

His optimism made the frowning Clifford slightly taken aback, and then he shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly, "Forget it, time is running out, and we don't want to talk nonsense, let's start as soon as possible!"

The Sea Clan has banned the sea route for four months. If the problem is not resolved as soon as possible, the people in the eastern coastal area will starve to death!

Therefore, no matter how whimsical Simon's plan was, they had no choice.

"Huh..." Simon kept taking deep breaths, and lightly touched the metal block placed on the ground with his hand.

The moment his fingertips touched, the mana in Simon's body poured into the metal like a tide, and the mana and metal merged together. The purple light cluster at the core of his soul immediately began to emit a slight rhythm.

Crash... The originally neat and hard metal blocks began to gradually soften and fuse under the action of Simon's mana, and finally turned directly into a liquid state.

"Go!" He looked at the battleship firmly, and the liquid metal surged over immediately.

As if being eroded, the ship's side armor, deck, cabin inner wall, and even the keel and mast, the metal liquid like mercury, soon covered the entire battleship.

Sweat overflowed from his forehead, and Simon, who had consumed a lot, withdrew his mana. The metal that had turned into liquid solidified immediately, and a metal sailing battleship with a metallic luster appeared in front of the two of them.

"It's unbelievable!" Clifford looked at the battleship that changed its appearance, and exclaimed obsessively.

Alchemy warships are expensive to build, but they are cheap to use, have high magic power conductivity, and don't need magic steel bonded with magic power circuits.

To replace the hemlock that is expensive and needs to be soaked in magic potion, and a special adhesive is used to link the magic circuit.

This is a theory put forward by alchemists very early on.

However, theory is often difficult to implement...

Don't talk about other things, just talk about the most critical point, the alchemist's ability to render magic steel and plasticize magic steel.

According to the degree of rendering and the conductivity of magic power, magic steel is also divided into several levels. Ordinary alchemists can basically only manufacture magic steel of ordinary quality.

Only a master alchemist like Clifford can produce high-quality magic steel.

In order to reduce the loss of magic power and the high cost of maintenance, the alchemy warship must use high-quality magic steel.

However, depending on the purity of the alchemist's mana, the efficiency of rendering magic steel is also very different.

Still taking Clifford as an example, an alchemist with the rank of archmage, the leader of the alchemists in the Silvermoon Kingdom, actually produced a maximum of about ten kilograms of high-quality magic steel every day.

And the most important point is that magic steel is a special magical material that is rendered by the mana of the maker, and it has the unique magic trace of the maker.

If it is used by other alchemists, the performance will drop by at least 30%.

If the number of people increases again, three, four, one hundred, one thousand people, many magic steels of different properties are welded together, and it will almost lose the ability to conduct magic power.

Even if it only covers the surface, the magic steel needed for a small warship is at least a dozen tons, that is, more than a dozen thousand kilograms.

To reach this number, Clifford will need at least three or four years, doing nothing but making magic steel. If the plasticity of magic steel in the later stage is included, this number will have to be doubled.

Even, if the manufactured warship is larger, it will naturally take more time.

Not to mention too much, one or two years is always necessary!

As a master alchemist who was busy with his business and had his own planning and independent consciousness, Clifford was obviously unwilling to waste so many years of time.

Because, even if this kind of iron skin ship is made, it is meaningless at all, and the cost performance is even worse than that of traditional wooden warships.

But now, this idea that only exists in theory has been easily cracked by Simon...

There is no other reason, but the talent shown in him from the very beginning of learning alchemy, the ability to render and manipulate magic steel against the sky.

Others exaggerate the manipulation of magic steel, just like digging a hard stone with an iron pickaxe, and then finely carve the stone, and finally form a statue that is still eye-catching.

But Simon is different. He renders and manipulates the magic steel, like holding a sharp sword that cuts iron like mud, cutting a piece of soft mud with water, and then puts the mud into a mold to shape it roughly.

Whether it is time or quality, it is by no means explainable by common sense!

Looking at the student's back, Clifford took a deep breath, suppressing those petty thoughts that shouldn't be there.

Just kidding, this is the holy son of the Moonlight Church, it is stupid and worthless not to want to die, it's better to be sensible!

In addition to the heaven-defying control over the magic steel, there is also the ability to decompose the magic power and the spiritual power of others into the purest spiritual power~www.readwn.com~ Over the years, Simon has also developed another function of the purple light group --Transform magic into matter.

At first, Simon thought that this was limited to metals, but once he had a whim, why the purple light group can only create metals, but not other substances?

So, after many experiments, Simon finally figured out the scope and limitations of this function.

First of all, living matter is absolutely not allowed, no matter whether it is an animal or a plant, because the prerequisite for magic to transform matter is that Simon has completely analyzed the matter.

The information contained in the life factor cannot be deciphered casually by a great mage.

Secondly, he is really good now, so he can only analyze and create metals, substances of this kind of separate structure.

Among all the metals, only mercury is the most valuable to Simon, because even the gold element can only produce dozens of gold coins every day.

But mercury is different. The blood of mercury made with mercury is what he calls magic cinnabar, but it is a very advanced general-purpose enchanting material.

Not to mention, the quality of the magic cinnabar produced by Simon has always been the best because of the sky-defying magic power rendering ability...

Therefore, when he was idle, Simon would use his mana far beyond that of ordinary archmages to transform it into fist-sized mercury and refine it into magic cinnabar every day.

Over time, he hoarded a lot of these things.

Now it's time to alchemy enchant the warship, and these things just come in handy!

Taking out a jar of magic cinnabar, after adding some pure water, Simon showed his big white teeth and walked towards the iron battleship with a smile.

As a Scoia'tael, the happiest moment for him is when the things he inadvertently hoard can come in handy...
