Anti-Corrosion Alloy

Secret Research Institute.

Huo Wu looked around curiously at the unfamiliar scene.

"Where is this?" Huo Wu asked curiously.

Quan Yi replied, "This is a research institute that studies ironware."

"Ironware?"

Huo Wu never expected that Quan Yi would bring her to the Blacksmith Shop.

Blacksmith is a lowly profession in this world.

Therefore, while people don't necessarily despise them, they inevitably tend to look down on them.

However, everything here opened her eyes.

Several huge wooden display cases are divided into countless neat small cabinets.

Each small cabinet is covered by a small glass door.

Through the small glass, you can see that it contains a variety of unique minerals.

There are nearly a hundred grids in total.

This is the Mineral Display Cabinet they've been expanding and collecting for years.

From one display case, it has quickly expanded to four.

Huo Wu had never imagined that such a diverse range of minerals existed in this world.

"Young Master, is there anything I can do for you at this time?"

Blacksmith Yuan was puzzled by Quan Yi's arrival.

"I've come here to reforge my Weighted Equipment," Quan Yi, making his purpose clear.

"No problem, we still have some Iron Essence left. How much weight do you wish to gain, Young Master?"

"Ten thousand kilograms."

"Ten thousand kilograms!" Huo Wu was also shocked by this number.

She herself followed Quan Yi and used a 300-kilogram load, but 10,000 kilograms is more than 300 times her weight.

This weight, when added to her body, could easily crush her bones and flesh.

Even if someone could bear it, the ground could not support its weight.

Simply standing on it will cause the hard stone brick floor to crack.

"We don't have that many kilograms of Iron Essence here."

Blacksmith Yuan wasn't too surprised.

"It's alright, I have six thousand kilograms of reserves here."

Quan Yi took out the weights he was wearing from the Blazing Sun Heart.

Although Quan Yi's speed of Soul Power increase has obviously decreased after breaking through to the Soul King realm, his strength has not diminished in the slightest.

On the contrary, the purity of Soul Power has a greater effect on improving strength.

This is also why Quan Yi wasn't too worried.

The refined Soul Power can bring greater enhancement to Quan Yi.

Therefore, when fighting against Spirit Master of the same level, Quan Yi has an absolute advantage in all aspects.

"Okay, I'll contact other Blacksmith Shop to refine the remaining weight together."

"Oh, right, there's something else I wanted to discuss with you."

"Please give your instructions." Blacksmith Yuan was already prepared.

"I'd like to know how far the research on Alloy has progressed," Quan Yi asked.

Blacksmith Yuan did not answer immediately, but before replying, he glanced at Huo Wu discreetly.

Quan Yi keenly noticed Blacksmith Yuan's gaze, and this action made Quan Yi even more at ease with Blacksmith Yuan.

Blacksmith Yuan's meticulousness is not only reflected in his appearance; he can notice all kinds of details in all kinds of complex work.

This is also why he entrusted him with such an important task.

"It's alright, Xiao Wu is mine," Quan Yi said confidently.

Upon hearing Huo Wu, Huo Wu glanced at Blacksmith Yuan with a hint of smugness.

With her skills, she naturally noticed Blacksmith Yuan's actions.

However, she also knew that now was not the time to let her throw a tantrum.

However, now that Quan Yi is backing her up, she has become more assertive.

After receiving a positive reply, Blacksmith Yuan was relieved and began to report to Quan Yi.

"Following the prescribed steps and order, we tested and fused various materials one by one, and by adjusting the content, we created a wide variety of Alloy products."

Through testing, we discovered many interesting Alloy.

The study of Alloy, or more accurately, the study of metallurgical technology.

Metallurgical technology involves refining metals and metal compounds from ores and then using various methods to produce metallic materials with specific properties.

While instructing Blacksmith Yuan to collect minerals, Quan Yi also instructed Blacksmith Yuan to study Alloy.

The display cases placed next to them now contain the most basic minerals.

However, through years of research, they have conducted tens of thousands of tests and produced countless Alloy.

During this process, they discovered many Alloy products with special properties.

"What I want to know is a material that has both hardness and strong corrosion resistance."

In fact, this was the most important reason why Quan Yi came to the Blacksmith Shop.

After a moment of contemplation, the Blacksmith Yuan asked, "Corrosion resistant? May I ask what the Young Master intends to do with this metal?"

There are many kinds of substances that can corrode metals, such as acids, salts, and water.

However, the factors that affect each metal will vary greatly.

In order to select the right Alloy, Blacksmith Yuan must understand the specific application of the metal.

Quan Yi's eyes deepened, as if he were gazing into the distant horizon.

"Seawater, I want a metal that can resist seawater corrosion."

"Seawater?"

Both Huo Wu and Blacksmith Yuan had some questions.

For the two who had long lived in the heart of the continent, the sea was a distant fantasy.

They can only obtain information from books and oral traditions, and sketch out images in their minds.

Moreover, the ocean is home to countless ferocious sea Soul Beast, so people on the mainland subconsciously harbor a fear of the ocean.

Therefore, people who live in the heart of the land may never think about going to the sea in their entire lives.

"Seawater corrosion? Young Master, are you going to make iron armor to cover the outside of the Ship Hull?"

If so, there are indeed Alloy that fit the criteria. And there's more than one.

When it comes to the corrosive effects of seawater, this is the first thing that comes to mind for Blacksmith Yuan.

Upon hearing Blacksmith Yuan's reply, Quan Yi was immediately overjoyed.

"Yes, that's the situation at this stage. Before long, we will need a lot of Anti-Corrosion Alloy to equip the Ship Hull of ships that sail the seas."

Therefore, starting today, I would like to entrust you with the task of focusing your research and experimentation on metals that resist corrosion.

"A boat? Is Young Master planning to go to the seaside?"

"It's not just me, our entire Quan Family will be moving to the coast one after another. For this, we need to have enough ships, and this metal is for that time."

Very few people within the family knew about the relocation of the territory, and Blacksmith Yuan, who was far away in the south, was naturally unaware of these matters.

Now, after hearing Quan Yi's words, he finally understood Quan Yi's thoughts.

"I see, I understand now."

"Our demand for this metal will only increase in the future, so I want you to pay attention to its cost-effectiveness and the versatility of the material when you are doing your research."

Quan Yi's eyes were very serious, and he couldn't fully reveal the thoughts in his mind yet.

But now we can get started.

Armoring wooden boats with iron is no longer a rare technology in the Douluo Continent.

However, they stopped there and did not go any further.

Now, Quan Yi plans to start with the most basic things and gradually advance his plan.
