This lord is very scientific.

Lin Ke accompanied Aofu to the small plane where the mine was located.

"Have you thought of a name for it?" Aofu pointed to the wide open space in front.

This was a world wrapped in fog, and in the fog there were small hills with exposed black iron ore on them.

This flat land and open-pit mine surrounded by fog was like an isolated island in the ocean.

"Name it? How about calling it 'Research Laboratory'?" Lin Ke thought of a name at random.

"Research Laboratory?" Aofu glanced at him: "It is said that there are more [scholars] who gave their planes this name than those mushroom people back then."

Mushroom people, creatures similar to fish people, also disappeared in the history of Naseng.

If fish people are famous for being stupid, then mushroom people are famous masters of reproduction.

Aofu often uses fish people and mushroom people to describe and ridicule others, as if this problem was passed down from Aofu's teacher.

"Emm... Forget it, the name is not important." Lin Ke scratched his head.

According to Aofu's judgment, this small plane has no growth potential, so Lin Ke only plans to set up a small chemical laboratory here, and he can call it anything he wants.

A laboratory the size of a city should not be considered small.

But never mind, the name is not important.

Inscription of the humble house, inscription of the humble house.

"Are you going to set up a furnace here? That thing is not cheap, but I heard that Emperor Wumian has a lot of them. Do you need me to buy one for you?" Aofu looked at the flat ground in front of him, as if he was measuring how big a furnace could be placed here.

"Furnace..." Lin Ke's eyes flashed with thought.

Naseng has furnaces, but they are basically only satisfied with military manufacturing.

Because plane exploration can obtain endless resources, while fighting requires the support of equipment.

Furnace, a must for iron smelting.

But...

"How much is it?" Lin Ke couldn't help asking.

Now he is carrying his father's debt.

"It should be within 100,000 gold coins?" Aofu didn't seem to understand these things very well. He had never bought a boiler. After all, he didn't have to conquer the other plane.

"One hundred thousand?!" Lin Ke exclaimed, a big pot costs one hundred thousand? !

"Well, it could be seventy or eighty thousand." Seeing Lin Ke's reaction, Aofu was a little unsure.

"... Seventy or eighty thousand..." Lin Ke felt tired. Shouldn't this be bought with a few thousand gold coins?

"This, thirty or forty thousand?" Aofu looked at Lin Ke tentatively.

Lin Ke glanced at his teacher unhappily: "Teacher, you are not talking nonsense, are you?"

Aofu coughed twice: "Ahem, I haven't bought it... But I remember hearing from Emperor Wumian that it should be more than ten thousand gold coins anyway."

More than ten thousand gold coins...

Lin Ke was silent.

Or he could just build a blast furnace himself. Buying a boiler is convenient, but it is too expensive.

But... building a blast furnace is also very tiring! Designing from scratch, and building...

Aofu and he are not professional [blacksmiths], and ironmaking is very difficult.

"Forget it. If it doesn't work, just mine the ore and put it aside. When you have money, you can buy a boiler later."

Now I still owe so much debt, I don't have the spare money to buy it.

"Well, it's okay." Aofu nodded slightly, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, I remember that there is a level 15 [Lava Warlock] in the materialistic school. He has made great achievements in playing with fire."

Level 15!

It is indeed "talking and laughing with great scholars, and there are no unlearned people in the exchanges."

The people that Teacher Aofu knows are so powerful.

However, Lin Ke scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "Teacher, are you familiar with that professional?"

Feeling...

Aofu's personality...

"Not familiar." Aofu shook his head: "I just met him."

Okay.

Lin Ke didn't want to chat with his teacher anymore.

He walked forward, and Aofu followed him as if nothing had happened.

Lin Ke came to the open-air iron ore vein, but suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Huh? This doesn't seem to be iron ore... No, it shouldn't be just iron ore?" Lin Ke looked at the pale yellow crystal in front of him, and the look of surprise in his eyes became more and more intense.

"What's wrong, Xiao Lin Ke, is there any problem?" Ao Fu also stepped forward to ask.

"This is a bit like another kind of ore..." Lin Ke was also a little uncertain.

Is this a companion ore of iron ore?

At this moment, Xiao Xingyun on Lin Ke's shoulder opened his eyes and looked at the pale yellow mineral in front of him curiously.

"Eat... eat..." A thought came from Lin Ke's mind.

"Do you want to eat? This ore?" Lin Ke looked at Xiao Xingyun on his shoulder.

He and Xiao Xingyun are connected by a master-servant contract, and they can communicate in their minds.

"Yes, I want to eat..." Xiao Xingyun replied.

Lin Ke raised his head and looked at Ao Fu: "Teacher, Xiao Xingyun wants to eat this ore."

Ao Fu pondered: "Some powerful monsters do feed on high-energy substances, including but not limited to meat, ore and plants."

Lin Ke was a little surprised, but with Ao Fu's consent, Lin Ke put Xiao Xingyun down with confidence and put him on the companion ore of iron ore.

As soon as Xiao Xingyun landed, he opened his eyes wide, spread his featherless wings, raised his head and let out a loud cry: "Li!!!"

Instantly, the associated minerals under his feet gradually began to emit a faint light red fluorescence.

"Wow..."

I saw a series of tiny sand particles slowly decomposed from the associated ore, and then all were sucked into Xiao Xingyun's mouth, just like sucking water. .

A few minutes later, Xiao Xingyun's stomach did not grow, but it burped and a few flames came out of its mouth.

"It seems that its talent is related to fire." Aofu commented on this: "I don't know if it has the blood of the phoenix."

"Phoenix blood?" Lin Ke was a little curious: "Is it very powerful?"

The phoenix is ​​called the phoenix here. According to some statements Lin Ke had read in his previous life, the phoenix should be a little like the phoenix.

"Yes." Aofu nodded: "But the phoenix I have seen does not have such a high talent as Xiao Xingyun."

When Xiao Xingyun was born, he absorbed the magic power of a whole legend, and there was even such a thing as the rule shackles.

Only some ancient and powerful races would be targeted by the rule shackles.

"Jiji." Xiao Xingyun seemed to understand what Aofu said, and called out proudly twice, then jumped to Lin Ke's feet, and climbed back to Lin Ke's shoulders with his mouth and claws, and began to close his eyes to rest.

"Look at you proud." Lin Ke looked at Xiao Xingyun with a doting look, just like Fulong looked at him.

"But teacher, I now know what this associated ore is." Lin Ke pointed to the pale yellow ore in front.

Just now, Xiao Xingyun sucked a bunch of sand, and burped and there were still a few flames, so this is...

"Sulfur ore! Teacher, this is sulfur, one of the necessary elements for making gunpowder." Lin Ke said with certainty.

Although I don't know where Granny Xisai got the gunpowder ingredients, with sulfur ore, Lin Ke can do a lot of things!

"Is this the raw material of Xisai's 'Explosion Fire'?" Aofu also heard Lin Ke say it.

And Granny Xisai is now studying and recording chemistry in a thatched house in Aofu's own plane.

"Yes." Lin Ke was full of joy.

The iron ore that Lady Black Mountain gave him, unexpectedly, also had associated minerals!

As long as the gunpowder equivalent is enough, even Azaan Castle may be razed to the ground!
