Chapter 1193: Mithril Smelting Workshop, Pure Silver Extraction

Soon, Xia Duo walked around the Mithril mines led by Lei Sen, especially some typical mines, and collected the echo feedback data of the mineral veins.
After leaving the mine, he went to visit the rough ore smelting workshop under the leadership of Pete and Stern. In fact, this was an experience he hadn't experienced on earth. All this made him feel very strange.
Of course, this does not mean that Xia Duo has no knowledge of ore smelting, but that those who know more are in the form of words.
After visiting the rough ore smelting workshop, Pete, the manager of the mine, left first, and Stern then led Chardonnay to continue the visit:
"Lord Chardonnay, next we will go to the newly built Mithril Smelting Workshop in the territory!"
"Oh? Lei Sen led the Mithril Smelting Workshop?"
Hearing Stern said that the next stop was the Mithril Smelting Workshop, Chardonnay immediately became interested. This is different from the general coarse ore smelting workshop, which is owned by Leyson and also owned by Savile.
The mythril smelting workshop that Stern mentioned is probably the first mythril smelting workshop on the surface of Netheril!
How can this be missed!
Xia Duo has indeed obtained the Mithril Refining Technology in [Projection Plane·Arcane Empire], and even includes the ritual spell [Elemental Extraction] used to refine high-grade Mithril.
But at that time, he did not see the Mithril Refining Workshop when he was projecting the plane, all of which were written materials.
From the written information to the actual implementation, if it is a spell, it is fine. As long as the details of the spell are not lost, there is no deviation.
But there is no magic involved in the extraction method, from technology to physical objects, there are at least two difficulties to pass, engineering and craftsmanship.
Now such a Mithril smelting workshop is in front of Xia Duo, even if it does not involve purification, it is only the crude ore refinement, even if this is only the technology provided by the Sevinton Council, which is different from the Arcane Empire version.
It is also worth seeing!
…
Perhaps the Seventon Council has unlocked and opened up the Mithril Refining Technology to the outside world, and the Mithril Smelting Workshop led by Leisen has not been placed in a secret place.
Such as the mage tower, or use some special protection magic to hold it up.
It is not far from the mine, just in the support range of the mage tower, without any additional protective measures.
Even the density of ordinary soldiers is not higher than that of the mine, or even lower.
Because there are not a large number of dwarf slaves like the mines and roughing workshops visited before, most of the people who work here are humans, as well as individual dwarves.
Outside the workshop, far away, Xia Duo saw an air column with a blue flame at the bottom rushing straight into the sky, and the scene behind the air column was fragmented.
As I approached, I felt the heat waves continue to hit. Now it's the beginning of spring, but it feels even hotter than midsummer!
Xia Duo's [Crimson Robe of Shield] comes with a weak elemental balance field that can't stand such an "extreme" environment.
At this moment, Stern began to introduce:
"Lord Chateau, this was originally a workshop used to refine pure silver. It was transformed into a mithril smelting workshop the day before yesterday. Because pure silver is used in the mithril smelting process, it is here."
"Pure silver?" Xia Duo thoughtfully.
If sterling silver is used for the Mithril refining technique released by the Sevinton Council, it is likely to be the same as the version of the Arcane Empire.
"Yes, it's pure silver."
Stern replied this sentence, but did not explain more, and then stretched out his hand to draw inwardly, "Lord Chateau, please come here."
…
Following in the footsteps of Stern, Chateau quickly wandered around the Mithril smelting workshop that was transformed from the pure silver refining workshop.
The workshop area is not large, about the size of half a football field, and most of it is occupied by pure silver refined facilities.
The only thing related to Mithril smelting is a gray-black cylindrical smelting furnace in the corner of the workshop.
The structure of this smelting furnace is not complicated, but the design is quite exquisite, not like the smelting furnace for crude copper and silver that Xia Duo just visited.
The upper and lower levels are divided into three layers—
The bottom layer is the combustion layer, the fuel is coal mixed with ruby ​​powder; the next layer is the reaction layer, the inside of this layer is entirely made of fine gold, similar to a large fine gold cup.
Above the reaction layer, there is an energy-concentrating layer, and the openings are gradually condensed to gather heat.
Of course, there are openings on the sides of the three-layer structure, which are used to add fuel, Mithril ore, and collect rough Mithril agglomerates.
Xia Duo stopped in front of the smelting furnace for a long time, and saw shovel after shovel of Mithril ore being sent into the furnace body through the opening on the side of the energy accumulation layer.
I also saw piece after piece of mithril roughing agglomerated, being picked up by the craftsman from the molten metal in the fine gold cup of the reaction layer.
These rough smelting agglomerates, after cooling, pick out the Mithril ore that has not yet fully reacted, and throw it in from the opening of the energy accumulation layer of the smelting furnace. The rest must be selected to remove impurities, only the real Mithril knot The blocks will be collected for further refinement.
…
Just seeing these processes, Xia Duo felt that he had gained a lot. The Mithril extraction technology of the Council version was indeed very similar to the Arcane Empire version.
All of them use pure silver in a boiling state to infiltrate the mithril ore, melt the mithril in it, and generate [Silver Mithril] agglomerates.
One of the more critical steps is to keep pure silver in a molten boiling state for a long time, which requires extremely high temperatures.
The Mithril extraction technique that Chardonna obtained from the projection plane did not mention the specific plan of how to obtain this state, but only mentioned the need for this state.
After all, the Mithril extraction technology he obtained was only the "science popularization" version shown to students in the Magic Academy. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was not a real engineering solution for industrial production.
Although Chardonnay has not purchased the parliamentary version of Mithril extraction technology from the Sevinton Council, it is also conceivable that there must be no complete production process.
It should be just a simple introduction manual!
For specific implementation, the lord who has bought the technology has to think of a solution by himself.
The so-called "industrial strength" led by Savile is not enough to build a Mithril smelting workshop. Apart from anything else, it is difficult to get the fuel alone.
Ruby powder can indeed be converted into fire element at high temperature, which can be used to continue to increase the temperature, but the ratio is the secret of each family.
Even if the fuel ratio is known, it is not easy to start the furnace once. First of all, more ore, otherwise it will not be worth it.
As for ruby ​​powder, it is second. The smaller the gem, the lower the price. Netheril does not lack all kinds of gem powder. After all, many inks originally need to add gem powder.
Now even if there is one more purpose, the price may not increase much.
