Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 104:

Before the journey, Sui Xiong was a person who was not very interested in reality and current affairs. Bayi? Chinese? Net? W? W ㈧ W?. ㈧8㈧1?Ｚ?W㈠. ?ＣＯＭ

This is definitely not his indifference. Most artists are like this. In fact, he was dragged by his friends to donate blood, and he also donated money during natural disasters. He never hesitated to help others when he saw other people's difficulties.

But if he can't see it, he really won't waste time investigating or researching.

Because he is very busy.

He has to work, he has to deal with a lot of things in the warehouse, and manage the accounts clearly; he has to help people draw illustrations and make money to subsidize life; he has to spare time to play games, and friends in the game We communicate...

So, except for some netizens he followed on Weibo and chatting with friends in the game, he really didn't have much time to collect all kinds of unimportant information.

For an extreme example, even his own birthday, he only remembered his mother's call the night before.

The days that he can't forget are probably legal holidays. For example, Ching Ming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, New Year's Day and Chinese New Year, and those days when there are activities in the game, such as Valentine's Day and Christmas.

For someone who can forget his birthday, social hot spots are almost non-existent for him.

Who said that people pay attention to news in the Internet age? In fact, Brother Xiong doesn’t remember when he last watched the news...

In addition, when he was in college, he learned everything except fine art so sloppyly, so even if he thinks hard at this moment, he can't think of the treatment of the workers of the gold coin federation. What happened before he crossed over? What has been or heard of can be consistent.

So he thought about it, and finally gave up.

"Although there must be something wrong, I really can't figure it out. I'll talk about it later."

After all, in this world, working overtime can earn enough money to support the family, which is quite happy.

What's more, the workers of the Joint Exploration Team from the Gold Coin Federation, as long as they work hard overtime, actually make a lot of money-at least compared to ordinary civilians.

So although they are very envious of the prospecting workers in the Northwest Republic, they have no plans to change jobs.

Of course, they can't jump if they want to. My wife and children are all in my hometown, so there is something for me to run away!

In the camp, after a walk, Hopps felt better, so he went back to continue beneficiation.

The ore vein they had before was not big, and the total amount of ore dug up was not much, but the difference between silver mine and mythril mine was very small, and non-professional beneficiators could not distinguish it at all, so the efficiency of beneficiation was relatively low.

Sui Xiong couldn't help but sympathize seeing them so busy.

(Actually... the proportions of silver and mithril are actually quite different. You can start from this aspect...)

He wondered whether he wanted to emulate Archimedes and develop a simple tool for calculating buoyancy.

Such a tool is very simple to do. It is nothing more than putting the ore into a basin filled with water, collecting the overflowing water and weighing it, and then calculating the volume of the ore based on the weight, and then weighing the ore... …In this way, the specific gravity can be calculated.

This is probably the content of junior high school physics, anyway, even Sui Xiong can think of it.

But he tried to build a set of such equipment, and got a few pieces of ore for experiments, but it didn't work well.

For example, he discovered more than once that the proportion of Mithril Ore turned out to be the same as Silver Ore.

This is ridiculous. The biggest characteristic of Mithril is "hard" and "light". Under the same volume, the weight of Mithril is less than one-tenth of silver, so bard poets describe it as "hard as dragon scales and light as feathers"-this is of course an exaggeration, but it is the so-called The wind may not come without cause. Mithril is indeed very light. Sui Xiong once threw a Mithril ingot from the Kingdom of God into the water, and then it floated on the water!

Mithril is so light, why are these Mithril ore not light?

Sui Xiong was puzzled, and finally had to find someone to ask.

He was looking for Morani the Iron Lion, the forging **** of half-orcs.

After hearing his question, Morani laughed loudly, and then told him that he had made a big mistake.

Mithril is a weird thing, and its specific gravity changes with its purity. When its purity is low, its specific gravity is exactly the same as ordinary silver. The purity gradually increases, and the specific gravity gradually decreases. When the purity is as high as the level of "thousand feet pure gold", it will be light enough to float On the water.

"In that case...If it were more pure, maybe it would really be as light as a feather?" Sui Xiong asked curiously.

Morani shook his head: "I also thought about it back then, and did experiments. It is roughly as light as cork, which is the limit. Anyway, I don't have the ability to further refine it, and... I haven't seen it. There will be further lightening."

Only then did Sui Xiong fully understand. He laughed twice, looked at his Ming with some pain, and sighed deeply.

Obviously, the purity of most Mithril ores is definitely not high enough to produce changes in specific gravity. In a pile of Mithril ore, at most only a few pieces may reach this level.

The "simple and clear method of screening mythril ore" he imagined is almost nothing but a paper talk.

"Actually, the best way to screen Mithril mines is to use magic." Morani saw his depression and said with a smile, "The biggest difference between Mithril and silver lies in the conductivity of magic. , If you can make a tool to accurately measure the degree of magic transmission, you should be able to distinguish Mithril and silver relatively easily."

"Can it be ore?" Sui Xiong asked~IndoMTL.com~Morani thought for a while and said, "It should be possible. After all, the magic conductivity of Mithril is more affected by purity than weight. It is small, so when making enchanted weapons, about 10% of Mithril is usually mixed into the weapon when casting the weapon... It is to improve the conductivity of magic power, so that the metal that cannot transmit the weapon has the effect of transmitting magic power. , Thus constructing the magic attached to it into a whole. The purity of the mithril ore should always be so high."

He thought about it again and said that he could do an experiment.

So the two gods found some silver ore and mythril ore, and tried to test their ability to transmit magic power.

In this experiment, as Morani estimated, the magic conductivity of Mithril Ore is significantly different from that of Silver Ore. This kind of difference doesn't even need too advanced magic ability, it is estimated that as long as the middle-level mage can clearly detect it.

Seeing the results of the experiment, Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing.

Although things have not been made yet, he is confident that he can make tools that can easily distinguish between silver ore and mythril ore, greatly improving Hopps and their work efficiency.
