The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

While speaking, Luo Ji picked up the knife, and after holding the handle, exerted a slight force.

All of a sudden, there was only a soft 'clank', and a sharp blade appeared in front of Luo Ji's eyes.

At this moment, even Wang Kai, who has always been calm, couldn't help his eyes light up.

And Luo Ji directly praised it...

"Good knife!"

While speaking, the saber was completely unsheathed.

The blade is almost three fingers wide, and at the same time, from the dark red on the back of the blade to the fiery red of the blade, the entire blade unexpectedly shows a strange gradient color.

Against the fiery red color, the knife pattern on the blade is like a ball of flame, which makes people feel a burning sensation just by looking at it.

And the fire magic crystal inlaid at the end of the hilt makes its identity even more obvious. This is a magic weapon!

"Master Karl, what is this knife?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this sword was forged by me using the elemental alloy sent from the western region."

"Elemental alloy, oh! So it's that one."

Hearing this, Luo Ji also came to his senses. When the elemental alloy was delivered, Luo Ji was on his way to the South China Sea port to participate in the expedition ceremony.

So, at that time, he directly sent a message to Ye Qingxuan, asking Ye Qingxuan to directly throw those elemental alloys to Karl for research.

And later, after participating in the expedition ceremony, he went to Zhuo Ke Province again. After a long time, he forgot about this matter.

After all, Luo Ji had so many things going on all day long, and if he had to remember them all, wouldn't that be fatal?

After realizing that this crimson saber was actually forged from an elemental alloy, Luo Ji became a little interested, and swung it subconsciously. There was a sound of chopping wind.

"Master Karl, you'd better hurry up and say it straight, the saber that allows you to make this trip yourself, shouldn't this be an ordinary magic weapon? What's the mystery behind it?"

Carl, who heard this, smiled triumphantly, and then said directly...

"Your Majesty, try it and you will know."

While speaking, everyone moved directly to the martial arts arena in the palace.

Luo Ji was holding the crimson saber in his hand, and the moment he swung the saber, the fire magic crystal at the end of the hilt began to emit a dazzling red light.

With the fire magic crystal as the core, mysterious spells and incantations suddenly appeared, extending along the handle to the entire blade.

At the moment when the spell on the knife was triggered, dark red flames spewed out, covering the entire blade.

This time, even Luo Ji's entire face changed obviously.

It's too late to say, then soon!

There was no time for him to think too much, the blazing knife had already slashed out with an invincible momentum.

With an extremely aggressive saber, it quickly passed by, and the wooden stakes for martial arts that were placed in front of Luo Ji at that time were directly chopped into ashes by his knife!One can imagine how high the temperature is!

"how can that be?"

As we all know, magical weapons, magic cores and magic crystals can actually act as their energy sources, but the elemental power in the magic core is of higher quality than that in the magic crystal. , generally better than those inlaid with magic crystals.

At the same time, more importantly, with magic crystals, basically only first-order magic weapons can be forged, and it is completely impossible to forge second- and third-order magic weapons.

Taking this as a premise, the effect of a first-order fire-type magic weapon is mainly reflected in raising the temperature of the blade in a very short period of time through the power of the fire element.

Relying on this kind of high-temperature slash, it can cause terrifying destructive power, even some thick metal plates can be cut off with one blow!

The most obvious example of this is Zhou Xian's Red Flame Knife. He once split a car into two with a single knife.

But at this moment, what happened to this magic weapon is not just as simple as raising the temperature of the blade.

The effect at that time, among all the magic weapons of his Myriad Worlds Civilization, was similar to it, and that was Tellier's blazing sword!

That great flaming sword is a relic of the previous gray elf king, and it is a magic weapon inlaid with a third-order magic core!

Of course, it must be false to say that this sword inlaid with magic crystals has reached the level of a third-order magic weapon, but according to Luo Ji's judgment, how could this sword be a second-order magic weapon, right?

It can only be said that this is really incredible.

While thinking about it, Luo Ji, who seemed to realize something, immediately sheathed his knife, and then cast a questioning look at Carl...

"Carl, is it because of the elemental alloys sent from the West?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Carl who said this had an unconcealable excitement on his face.

"Tell me about it in detail."

Chapter 1994, Low-quality consumables

Elemental Alloy is a new name for the convenience of calling after receiving those indigenous dwarves and obtaining new metals.

According to different attributes, it can be divided into fire element alloy, earth element alloy and so on.

At this time, the sword in Luo Ji's hand was undoubtedly made of fire elemental alloy, but it was obviously more than that.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the material for forging this sword is not only the fire elemental alloy, but also star sand."

Of course, Luo Ji was no stranger to star sand, the rare material of their Myriad Worlds civilization, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little strange in his heart.

"Could it be that this elemental alloy was not originally a magic material? Star sand is still needed?"

In Luo Ji's impression, the biggest function of star sand is to change the characteristics of the material.

Ordinary metal cannot hold mana, so it cannot be used to cast magic weapons.

For this reason, only by incorporating star sand and forging it into star pattern steel can it be transformed into magic material and obtain corresponding characteristics.

But according to Luo Ji's expectation, this elemental alloy should have been the material of spells.

For this question, it seems a bit complicated to explain. Karl sorted out his thoughts for a few minutes, and then slowly explained...

"Reporting to Your Majesty, elemental alloys can indeed be counted as spell materials, but at the same time not all of them."

Hearing this, Luo Ji didn't make a sound, but directly raised his hand, motioning for Karl to continue talking.

Regarding this, Karl was not ambiguous, just listen to him continue to say...

"According to my personal understanding, this elemental alloy should be tempered, so that the elemental power in the magic crystal ore is integrated into the ordinary metal material, so that the characteristics of the ordinary metal material have changed. It sounds like the effect of star sand is similar, but in fact, it is not the case."

"To put it simply, a simple element alloy is a low-quality consumable! It is like a magic crystal that has changed its shape, and part of the power of the element should still be lost during the smelting process. Therefore, the elemental alloy inside The elements are not as good as a magic crystal."

While talking, Carl took out another thing he brought over this time, which was an old-fashioned flintlock gun.

In their Myriad Realms civilization, it is estimated that they will not be found. After all, flintlock guns have been eliminated a long time ago.

And just as Luo Ji was thinking this way, Carl, who picked up the flintlock gun, spoke again...

"Please look, Your Majesty, the barrel of this flintlock gun was cast by those dwarves out of an alloy of fire elements."

Hearing this, Luo Ji subconsciously shifted his gaze to the barrel of the flintlock. Sure enough, if he looked carefully, he could still see that the barrel of the flintlock was emitting a dark light. Red, but oddly enough, it seemed to be very light.

In the end, I don't know if I saw Luo Ji's thoughts, but I only heard Karl say...

"Your Majesty should have discovered that although the barrel of this flintlock gun is also made of fire elemental alloy, its color is very light. It is nothing compared to the sword I forged."

"In fact, this is indeed the case. This flintlock gun can be regarded as half a magic weapon. Because the fire element alloy that casts the barrel is rich in fire element power, when the bullet is fired, it will With the blessing of a little fire element power, it becomes stronger, but even so, the power of this flintlock is only about a quarter of that of the Thunder Seventh Style."

"By the way, it is worth mentioning that I have also used it to forge spell weapons alone, but the actual effect is that it is not even half as effective as a first-order weapon."

Speaking of this, Karl couldn't help but curl his lips. In his opinion, the way the native dwarves used elemental alloys was a complete waste of materials.

"Speaking of the topic, the reason why the color of the gun barrel is so light is because every time you shoot, it will consume the elemental power attached to the fire elemental alloy! I have already conducted a clear test on this point. When the guns first arrived, they were not so pale."

Hearing this, Luo Ji's expression also changed. At the same time, he finally understood why Karl said that the elemental alloy was a low-quality consumable.

After that, Luo Ji couldn't help asking...

"Carl, according to what you said, after the elemental power in this elemental alloy is exhausted, will it become a piece of scrap iron?"

Carl nodded seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have confirmed this with another flintlock."

This was really a flaw that Luo Ji didn't expect at the beginning, and it also made him realize another thing.

"So, Karl, you blended star sand into the elemental alloy to change its material again?"

When Karl heard this, his eyes brightened a little.

"That's right! In the process of integrating the star sand, I changed the material of this elemental alloy again! Your Majesty, please read this."

While speaking, Karl took out another dark red metal ingot.

Luo Ji, who took the metal ingot, subconsciously looked it over carefully, and then he quickly discovered that on the surface of this alloy of fire elements, there were star patterns bit by bit like stars. Only steel has the characteristics!

"I call this fire element alloy smelted with star sand Flame Star Steel, and that sword is forged from this Flame Star Steel!"

"If you say that the previous fire elemental alloy is just a low-quality consumable, the power of the elements outside can't get in, and the power of the elements inside can't come out, so it's blocked."

"Then after incorporating star sand and tempering it into flame star pattern steel, the power of elements inside this closed low-quality consumable has already begun to circulate, that is to say, it can now continuously absorb the power of elements , even if the internal elemental power is exhausted, it can be recovered again, which is basically equivalent to a degraded version of a man-made magic core!"

This time, Luo Ji could be said to be completely taken aback.

However, before he could calm down, Karl had already spoken again...

"Of course, direct forging with flame star pattern steel can also forge spell weapons. In terms of power, it can barely reach the first level, and it is slightly inferior in the strength of spells and the content of elemental power. A magic core or magic crystal with matching attributes, then this whole weapon can undergo a qualitative change directly!"

"Take this sword as an example. With a fire magic crystal inlaid, it is equivalent to having two energy points that provide elemental power. At the same time, the characteristics of flame star steel can also make The corresponding elemental power flows and becomes more efficient, reducing unnecessary elemental consumption. In other words, a blow that originally required [-]% of the elemental power to be hit may now only need to consume [-]% of the elemental power to be able to done!"

Chapter 1995, Elemental Equipment

Carl's report this time directly set off a storm in Luo Ji's heart.

With a magic crystal inlaid, the power of this saber forged from flame star pattern steel is already comparable to that of the original second-tier magic weapon.

Under this premise, this new type of magic weapon can actually save more consumption of elemental power, thus launching more powerful magic attacks. From this point of view, it completely blows up the original magic weapon ah!

"Carl, you said that if the inlaid magic crystal is replaced with a first-order magic core, is it possible for the power of this sword to directly reach the third-order standard?"

It can be said that Luo Ji was very concerned about this issue.

If this effect can be achieved, then his Myriad Worlds civilization will achieve a dramatic improvement in the field of forging magic weapons.

Of course, in fact, just judging from the current situation, this improvement is already very, very huge.

According to Karl, although smelting elemental alloys requires the loss of magic crystals and increases the cost of forging, after paying this cost, the benefits they can obtain are definitely greater!

Facing Luo Ji's question, Carl said after a moment of thought...

"Your Majesty, according to my personal estimation, even if this saber is forged from flame star pattern steel, it is difficult to reach the third-order standard when it is inlaid with a first-order fire magic core. The gap with Tier [-] is still very large, and the effect should be about [-]% to [-]% worse."

After receiving such an answer, Luo Ji secretly gasped in his heart, even so, it was enough!

At the same time, the weapon that does not require a magic core but only needs to be inlaid with magic crystals is also very powerful. With the consumption of elemental power reduced, is it possible to consider the possibility of mass production?

And among them, the thing that gave Luo Ji the most headache was Xingsha.

As one of the special resources of Xingchen Lake, the output of star sand has always been very low. Although Xingchen Lake has been upgraded to four stars with the help of the effect of the heart of wonders, the output of star sand has increased by 15.00%.

But the problem is that the annual output of this star sand is already very low. In the case of a low base, a 15.00% increase is better than nothing, but it is also very limited.

For Luo Ji now, Xingsha gives him the feeling that I have worked so hard to save for so many years, but in the end, it is all gone after a random toss?Putting me out of business every time is simply killing me!

And just as Luo Ji was struggling with this question, Karl, the elf craftsman below, spoke again...

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to stop those indigenous dwarves from forging elemental alloys first, and then go to the place where the elemental alloys are forged to confirm their forging process! Those indigenous dwarves know nothing about the mineral magic crystal, after all. Too little, after reading it, I might be able to improve it to forge a better elemental alloy!"

Obviously, Karl didn't want those native dwarves to continue wasting the precious magic crystal. No wonder he had just stepped off the airship, and Karl rushed to see him on his back.

To be able to obtain a better elemental alloy than this, for Luo Ji, it was of course a dream.

But there is a problem here. According to John Sall, the environment of the volcanic forge is not generally bad. Except for the dwarf craftsmen who have long been accustomed to the hot environment, the high temperature over there may not be the same. It will make them humans and elves so hot that they fainted on the spot.

But Luo Ji himself was also very interested in the elemental alloy forging workshop, and he was obviously moved by Carl's proposal.

In this way, the two orders came directly from Luo Ji's mouth.

The first order was to temporarily suspend the forging of elemental alloys at the volcano forge.

The second order is for the people below to start developing work clothes that can adapt to the volcanic environment and withstand high temperatures.

It has always been Luo Ji's consistent style to sharpen the knife and not chop wood by mistake.

Since you are going, of course you have to get the equipment right.
