Chapter 173 A
Lei Dianzhen didn't know how long he had been wandering around. He might have even gone back to the shogunate to handle some work. In any case, when Lei Dianzhen came back to Ren Lian Lingyi's mansion, Ren Lian Lingyi had already come out of the cave.
He was working with Lei Dianying on the armor issue. Although Ren Lian Lingyi's forging skills were very good at LV7, they were far inferior to Lei Dianying's. Moreover, he had never designed armor, so he took it for granted when forging.
Lei Dianying easily picked out more than a dozen shortcomings of the armor, which he thought was pretty good, and seven or eight major design errors, mainly because the details were not quite in place and the joints were not handled well.
Then, Lei Dianying helped simplify the production process of the heart-protecting mirror, and also helped simplify the related techniques, transforming the art of thunder pill. A trace of this thunder pill energy can destroy a large group of curse power. Just that one trace of thunder pill power directly turned the claws of the beast realm hound that Blade Lian Lingyi used for experiments into ashes.
Although Lei Dianying's Thunder Pill Technique and Ren Lian Lingyi's are of the same major version, it is obvious that Lei Dianying, who has a deeper understanding of the power of thunder and lightning, has surpassed Ren Lian Lingyi far in the evolution of the medicinal properties of thunder and lightning.
Because the power of Ren Lian Lingyi's thunder pill cannot achieve such an effect.
"Sister, you're here." Lei Dianying greeted Lei Dianzhen, then took the tri-color dumpling from Lei Dianzhen's hand and went back to work in front of the armor.
"What is this?" Lei Dianzhen was also very curious about this armor.
"This is the armor I developed to target that special kind of monster." A heart-protecting mirror that had been improved by Lei Dianying slowly appeared in Ren Lian Lingyi's hand. "This heart-protecting mirror is the core of the armor. Three special powers that target that kind of curse are buried in it in a stacked manner."
"The three powers currently are transfer, expulsion and purification, and there is also an additional ability to enhance resistance to curses."
"It sounds really good, but I don't know how much it will cost." Lei Dianzhen crossed his arms and watched Lei Dianying busying around the armor.
"Aying and I have tried our best to simplify the process. In the end, we expect this kind of special armor to be more expensive than ordinary armor."
"And during the casting process, there must be a witch or Yin Yang master to help the blacksmith engrave the spells and spells."
"And this requires a relatively high level of forging and magic skills, but this is not a problem. At present, what we Inazuma lack the least is these master craftsmen."
The requirement to mass-produce this kind of armor is originally a very difficult task for all the countries in Teyvat.
But now, Inazuma's technical ability has been greatly improved by Ren Lian Lingyi, and there are a large number of blacksmith masters and shrine maidens who know spells and talismans.
By then, completing the armor orders with simplified process flow will not be very easy, but it will not be a difficult task either.
"By the way, how's your new bow? Is it working well?"
"It's very convenient. It's very convenient." Ren Lian Lingyi took out the 'Inazuma Genkou' forged for him by Lei Dianying from the space of the Eye of God.
Gently pluck the bowstring, and purple light appears on the bow, making the whole bow look very magical.
"This is really a good bow. The so-called national treasure of Kanreya is far superior to this one ." Ren Lian Lingyi could feel that this bow had not yet grown to its limit, but even so, it was not much weaker than the national treasure of Kanreya that had grown to its limit.
"As long as you are happy, I saw it clearly. Aying put his utmost care when forging this bow for you." Lei Dianying said with a smile as he took out a mirror.
"You see, my level of care is obviously not as good as yours."
"elder sister!"
"Look, Aying is still shy."
…
After working all night, Aying finally worked with Ren Lian Lingyi to finalize all the details of the armor.
The core is still the heart-protecting mirror designed by Ren Lian Lingyi, but the other armors are no longer just used for protection.
After developing a cheaper magic storage alloy, other parts of the armor except the heartguard also have a certain ability to store curses.
And according to Lei Dianying's research, the armor plates that store curses have even improved their resistance to curses.
In the end, the final cost of such a set of armor was determined to be 11 million Moras, of which 2 million were labor costs and the cost of raw materials was approximately 9 million Moras.
Of course, this is an external quotation. In fact, the shogunate's bulk purchase price is 7 million Mora.
Then they will be distributed free of charge to the hatamoto and generals.
If this armor is classified according to the level of the artifact, it would be at most three stars. After all, it is a designed standard armor, so it naturally cannot be of epic level.
As for why a mere three-star armor can be priced comparable to many four-star weapons, haha, this armor is not like a sword. If a set of armor is made of solid materials, then the material of this set of armor can even be comparable to dozens or hundreds of ordinary swords.
Moreover, even among the weapons, the prices of most of them are different. Among them, bows, heavy swords and long weapons are the most expensive, and they require higher skills from the blacksmith.
Swords, katanas, and daggers are much cheaper to make than other weapons.
The cost of a magical instrument is determined by the knowledge it contains and the strength of the magical power it possesses.
For example, the mirror in Lei Dianzhen's hand, although it looks inconspicuous, is actually a five-star artifact-level magic weapon. Although it is just a spare in Lei Dianzhen's hand, in the hands of top-level beings under the demon god like Hu Zhaigong, if this magic weapon grows to its limit, it is not uncommon for them to use this magic weapon to unleash demon-level attacks.
"We're finally done. Do you want to celebrate? I'll treat you." Ren Lian Lingyi handed all the drawings to the Aojie people who had rushed over and said with his hands on his hips.
"Are you going to cook yourself? I want to eat Liyue cuisine. How ?" Lei Dianzhen teased.
"Sure." Ren Lian Lingyi originally wanted to go out for a mushroom feast, but after Lei Dianzhen said that, he also wanted to eat Liyue cuisine. However, not many people can cook Inazuma's Liyue cuisine, and the skills of those who can cook are average, so it's better for Ren Lian Lingyi to cook it himself.
So Ren Lian Lingyi simply agreed directly and started asking people to prepare the materials.
"Then let me prepare first. After all, Liyue dishes are not easy to make, especially the Fairy Jumps Over the Wall. It has to be prepared a long time in advance. I'll go to Hu Li to see what's missing. You guys go take a look first, and then come to my Hu Li for dinner in the evening." Ren Lian Lingyi said.
Lei Dianzhen and Lei Dianying left happily.
When he left, he said he would bring someone over to ask him to do more.
Ren Lian Lingyi didn't take it seriously. He took a look at the prototype of the armor, shook his head and put it away. Although he couldn't use it himself, it was still a great collection.
