Abel followed Bernie and teleported to a short-distance teleportation circle through the teleportation circle. This should be a secret place of the Gough family.
You must know that by teleporting in through the teleportation circle and the short-distance teleportation circle, the location here will not be exposed. This is a general way to keep important areas confidential.
Abel came to an underground area. The light came from more than a dozen underground fires, which illuminated the entire underground area in fiery red.
The underground area was very large, surrounded by stone walls, and the chiseling marks on the stone walls could be seen. He was surprised to find that this underground area was probably dug directly by the dwarves.
This underground area is tens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide. It is still a hall-like room, with more rooms on the side.
"Abel, this is a secret research facility of our family!" Bernie introduced to Abel with a smile.
He could see the surprise in Abel's eyes, which made him very proud, and the dwarves had always only exposed the surface buildings to the outside world, and caves dug underground like this were never shown to the outside world.
The excavated caves are the foundation of the dwarves. As long as these caves exist, the dwarves will not perish.
The dwarves get their ores and various materials from these caves. It is precisely because of countless years of excavation that the dwarves have mastered how to build strong caves underground in the mountains.
"Bernie, the Sky Boat is being researched here, why can't you see anyone?" Abel looked around, but didn't find any other dwarves there. It seemed like this was an abandoned cave, so it was strange. asked.
"This place is closed. The materials for the sky boat are all ready, but the metallurgical materials for the main array are not available. Everything is empty. This place has become the material warehouse for the sky boat!" Bernie introduced.
"You asked me to come here to help you refine the metallurgical materials for the main array?" Abel asked.
"Abel, follow me!" Bernie nodded and guided him as he walked forward.
Following Bernie to the other end of the hall, a black-gray stone about one person tall and three meters wide was inlaid on the wall, with some ancient words and patterns carved on it.
Abel noticed that the most eye-catching thing in the pattern was a boat-shaped house under a huge air bag, and on the side of this pattern were densely packed details of each component.
He read quickly, and he memorized all the structural diagrams of the entire sky boat. He also discovered the metallurgical method of the main array material that needed his help.
There are as many as eighty-eight different materials, which have gone through hundreds of metallurgical refining processes. The difficulty is many times more complicated than any metallurgical material refining he has seen.
"Abel, this is what we discovered when we were digging the underground mine. After discovering the construction method of the sky boat carved on the stone, this place was closed by our family and became the material warehouse for the sky boat. Waiting for the day when the sky boat can fly into the sky!" Bernie said, gently stroking the black and gray stones in front of him.
"The metallurgical materials for this main array are very troublesome. I'm not 100% sure!" Abel looked at the metallurgical methods of the main array materials and said in a deep voice.
He saw eighty-eight kinds of materials from the metallurgical method, most of which were very precious. Some of them even he, the master blacksmith, had never heard of, and some of them, although he had heard of them, had only passed through Books, but never seen the real thing.
Thinking about it, the amount of manpower and material resources consumed to collect all eighty-eight kinds of materials will be an astronomical figure.
Eighty-eight kinds of materials, hundreds of processes, and no mistakes can be made in any step. This can almost make any alchemist despair.
And even Abel, who never makes mistakes, can't guarantee that he can successfully refine it in one go, because there are too many unknown materials in it.
"Abel, among the materials of the entire sky boat, the most precious is the metallurgical material of the main array. Of the eighty-eight kinds of materials, our dwarves have only collected ten of them in countless years!" Bernie said.
Bernie also knew how difficult it was to refine. Through his understanding, if Abel couldn't refine the metallurgical materials for the main magic circle, there might be no other alchemist master who could refine it.
Abel couldn't help but hesitate when he heard that only ten materials had been collected, because even if all ten materials were completed, he could only create ten sky boats at most.
What is the role of ten sky boats? If you want to build another transportation network, the number of sky boats required is far beyond what ten sky boats can achieve.
"Abel, don't worry, it doesn't matter even if you fail. If you can't succeed once out of ten times, you will have to wait for decades at most before we collect the materials for refining." Bernie saw Abel's intention. He hesitated, thinking that he was worried about failure, so he persuaded him.
Abel couldn't help but be stunned. What's the situation? It's not a requirement to succeed ten times. Judging from Bernie's appearance, as long as he can refine one metallurgical material for the main magic circle out of ten materials, he will be satisfied!
"Okay, I'll try my best to finish it!" Abel said with a smile.
At this time, he discovered that on the surface of this black-gray stone, the construction method of the sky boat occupied more than half of the space, while the other half was another item with a relatively simple manufacturing method.
It was a weapon manufacturing diagram similar to a cannon on Earth. From its description, it can be seen that this is an extremely powerful long-range weapon.
"Bernie, have you built this?" Abel asked, pointing to the weapon manufacturing diagram beside him.
"Abel, that is a magic stone cannon, a cannon that uses magic stones as raw material. The weapon master in the family has long studied it. This magic stone cannon may have been a very powerful long-range weapon in ancient times, but It is impossible to make this kind of magic stone cannon now, and even if it is made, it is impossible for anyone to use it!" Bernie said with a wry smile.
"Why, I read in the description of this magic stone cannon that there is almost nothing that can withstand the power of this magic stone cannon, and its power varies according to the level of the magic stone. If the top magic stone is loaded into this magic stone cannon "If this shot goes down, who will be left alive?" Abel asked curiously.
"Abel, you haven't seen that the entire cannon body is made of master-level metallurgical materials. Not to mention how difficult it is to obtain the materials needed for the cannon body, there are also problems with the use of the magic stone cannon. According to the family's weapons master Analysis shows that after one use of this magic stone cannon, the entire cannon body will be destroyed, which means it is a disposable weapon!" Bernie shook his head and said.
Abel couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Is this ancient race crazy? They actually set the magic stone cannon made of master-level metallurgical materials to only have one-hit capability. Could it be that there were so many master-level metallurgists in ancient times? Are the materials everywhere
"War Commanding Spirit, do you know about this magic stone cannon?" Abel's heart moved, and he thought that the war commanding spirit on his body was the spirit of that era, and he could ask it.
"Your Excellency Elder, the magic stone cannon was a forbidden item in ancient times and was prohibited from being used in any battle. However, many families at that time would use it as the last resort to protect themselves." The war commanding spirit explained to him through Abel's mental power. .
At this time, Abel knew what the magic stone cannon was. It was an atomic bomb-like existence. It was powerful but could only hit one strike. It was forbidden in ancient times.
But one thing he is very sure about is that if this magic stone cannon is driven by perfect gems, its power will be much more powerful than the super explosive ball, because one detonates its own power and spreads out in all directions, while the other is through the cannon. The engraved array pattern enhances the explosive power of the perfect gem, and then its explosion is directed and concentrated.
"What a pity!" Abel couldn't help but sigh. If this magic stone cannon was not a one-time item, then it would cost a lot to make one, and it could become another of his trump cards.
"Abel, if you are interested, I can make the decision. We have collected a complete set of materials for this magic stone cannon for analysis and evaluation. This set of materials is still stored here. If you need it, I will give it to you. It’s useless for us to keep it anyway!” Bernie said with a smile when he saw that Abel was very interested in the magic stone cannon.
Abel smiled. He didn't believe that any materials were left useless. Master-level metallurgical materials, plus other manufacturing materials for the magic stone cannon, were extremely precious materials even if they were not used in the magic stone cannon.
