Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 16 No. 1 Dragon Steel

However, although he complained, Ji Qiu did not feel too much in his heart.

In other words, this result was within his expectations.

How easy is it to obtain an official position and achieve class transition?

And trying to gain an official position by taking advantage of the conflict between the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Sili Xiaowei Mansion is simply courting disaster.

If you try to get the skin of a tiger, there is no guarantee that you will not be bitten by the tiger.

What's more, the current situation cannot actually be called a backlash, it just adds a few expected variables.

"Since you want to see my strength, then I'll show you my strength."

"I just hope you won't be scared."

"And by then, I won't be someone that can be dismissed by a mere county magistrate!"

“Delay the reward, and then get a big reward.”

“This one is pretty good too!”

Ji Qiu chuckled, then opened the scroll in his hand and looked at the spoils he got from the master of the Dragon Weapon Pavilion.

There are quite a few precious things in the Dragon Weapon Pavilion, but when the owner of the Dragon Weapon Pavilion fled, he took nothing with him except the necessities. I think this must be the most precious treasure in the Dragon Weapon Pavilion.

Definitely worth a look.

After a moment, the browsing was completed.

However, a strange look appeared on Ji Qiu's face.

As he expected, the scroll contained a secret technique.

However, what was beyond his expectation was that the scroll did not record any secret technique for making dragon weapons.

But it is a material secret technique that is more basic and important than dragon weapons!

This secret technique can create dragon steel by synthesizing steel essence and ordinary iron.

In modern people's understanding, dragon steel is actually a kind of alloy.

The hardness, flexibility and memory of this alloy are far superior to ordinary steel.

At the same time, its weight is much lighter than ordinary steel.

Whether used to make weapons or armor, it is an excellent raw material.

"No wonder the Dragon Weapon Pavilion Master took this secret technique with him when he escaped."

"The value of the basic material secret technique is indeed higher than that of certain specific dragon weapon manufacturing secret techniques."

"What a pity he is mine now!"

Ji Qiu chuckled in his heart and looked at the letter again.

This time we will see the specific practice methods of the Dragon Steel Secret Art.

The specific practice method of the Dragon Steel Secret Art uses the Night Pearl as the main material.

The first step is to use pure river water to wash the night pearl on a full-moon night, then place it under the moonlight and recite a specific mantra 49 times to dispel the impurities in the night pearl and purify its energy.

The second step is to crush the night-shining pearls into powder and add water to mix it into a thick juice.

The third step is to use this juice to carve a magic circle, and carve ancient runes on the edge of the magic circle, and activate the runes by inserting the practitioner's essence and blood into the runes.

The fourth step is that the practitioner sits in the center of the magic circle, communicates with the magic circle with his mind, and absorbs the magical power in the magic circle.

The fifth step is to practice for three consecutive days before you can master the Dragon Steel Secret Art.

“So, making dragon steel requires two special materials, one of which is the night-shining pearl, which is used to practice the secret art of dragon steel.

The second is steel essence, used to make dragon steel." Ji Qiu thought to himself.

These two materials are rare in the Dragon Qi Three Kingdoms and are extremely precious.

No wonder the Dragon Weapon Pavilion has such a secret technique but is still unable to mass-produce dragon weapons.

However, things like night-shining pearls are not uncommon in modern times.

Modern research has long revealed that the ancient night-shining pearls are actually a material called fluorite.

This is a mineral with a huge reserve in nature. Both on Earth and in China, there are large quantities of raw ore.

Not expensive.

The price of one ton of fluorite concentrate in China is only 1700 yuan.

The price of fluorite concentrate FC-97 in Shandong, Jiangxi, Guangxi and other places is between 3700 and 3800 yuan per ton.

As for steel essence, if Ji Qiu remembered correctly, this was actually the ancient name for aluminum.

In ancient times, aluminum was difficult to extract, so the amount extracted was very small.

When aluminum products first appeared, people called them "steel essence" because they were better than steel.

In the modern world, the production of aluminum is self-evident.

As the raw material for extracting aluminum, global bauxite production reached 4 million tons in 2023 alone.

从2013到2022年10年间，全球铝土矿产量从29255万吨增加到37538万吨，年均增长2.8%。

The Kangaroo Country's bauxite production in 2023 was 9800 million tons, accounting for 24.5% of the world's total production, making it the world's largest bauxite exporter.

Guinea's bauxite production in 2023 was 9700 million tons, accounting for 24.2% of the world's total production.

China's bauxite production in 2023 was 9300 million tons, accounting for 23.3% of the world's total production.

Brazil's bauxite production in 2023 was 3100 million tons, accounting for 7.8% of the world's total production.

Argentina's annual production in 2023 was 2300 million tons, accounting for 5.8% of the world's total production.

The price of aluminum will fluctuate due to factors such as region, variety, and market supply and demand.

Domestic spot: Xinjiang ex-factory price is about 3,610 yuan/ton, and the transaction price in Guizhou is 3,300 yuan/ton.

佛山地区：含税A00铝价格为19，490至19，590元/吨，不含税A00铝价格为18，260至18，360元/吨。

South China: The tax-inclusive price of aluminum ingots is approximately RMB 19,220/ton (Guangdong Nanchu Aluminum).

Changjiang Nonferrous Metals: The average price of aluminum ingots is 20,900 yuan/ton, the average price of 1060 general plates is 21,460 yuan/ton, the average price of 5052 aluminum alloy plates is 23,860 yuan/ton, and the average price of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy plates is 27,260 yuan/ton.

Generally speaking, these two resources are not difficult for Ji Qiu to obtain.

Not only can he practice the Dragon Steel Secret Art, he even has the ability to produce the Dragon Steel Secret Art in large quantities!
……

Five days later, in the modern world, in the general manager's office of Super Energy Logistics Company.

Zhao Mingyue knocked on the door and walked in, handing a document to Ji Qiu, then reported: "Boss Ji, the report on the No. 1 Dragon Steel material that you asked me to submit to the Third Materials Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for testing and grading two days ago has come out.

According to testing, all parameters of No. 1 Dragon Steel have reached the international level of Grade 8, making it an excellent new alloy material!

In the international market of the modern world, alloy materials are divided into 16 grades from low to high.

Level 1 is the lowest and level 16 is the highest.

Level 8 is in the middle range and has the widest application space and the greatest demand.

It is widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, energy and electricity, machinery manufacturing and other fields.

In the international market, the standard price of one ton of grade 8 alloy is 124 million!
"And the No. 1 Dragon Steel I personally crafted only requires 50 kilograms of aluminum and 500 kilograms of iron per ton."

"The cost of raw materials is only 1237 yuan!"

"More than a thousand times the profit!"

"At the same time, this is much safer and more stable than businesses like reselling gold and cultural relics."

"More importantly, this is only the value of No. 1 Dragon Steel."

"And the No. 1 Dragon Steel corresponds to the Dragon Steel produced by the ninth-grade primary Dragon Steel secret technique."

"As the level of the Dragon Steel Secret Technique increases, the quality of the Dragon Steel produced will become even better and stronger."

“But consumption will be further reduced.”

“So the profit margins will get bigger and bigger!”

"Sure enough, the great man was right. Science and technology are the primary productive forces!" Ji Qiu thought to himself.
