"Ankato, look, this is our latest aluminum-tungsten alloy, which is also doped with a little moonweed flower dew. Although the hardness is not as hard as pure steel, it is much stronger in corrosion resistance and toughness. More importantly...you try it with it. ()"

Ankato Yiyan picked up a silver-white alloy ingot with a dark brown color. The dwarf Porto immediately asked with an excited look: "How is it? Isn't it very light?"

"Well, it's really light." Ankato padded the alloy ingot in his hand and nodded involuntarily. "It seems that the proportion of aluminum here should be relatively high. I know very well that tungsten gold is much heavier than iron."

"What is heavy, it is density!" Porto threw Ankato with contempt. "Didn't you read the latest book "Basic Standards for Industrial Materials" written by the president? It should be called density. Don't always say that it is light or heavy, it sounds unprofessional."

Ankato couldn't help rolling his eyes. Porto just now kept asking him if he was very gentle, but now he accused him of answering with "heavyness".

However, Ankato also studied the book "Basic Standards for Industrial Materials" published half a month ago. He knew that Porto was right, so he was too lazy to refute it.

In addition, Porto was sent to lead some dwarves to serve as technical guidance for the non-ferrous metal smelting factory. By the way, it has been using the rich non-ferrous metal species of non-ferrous metal veins to conduct material research for several months. Now that he has achieved results, it is understandable that he is more excited.

"Okay, the density of this aluminum-tungsten alloy is lower than that of ordinary steel, and its corrosion resistance and toughness are stronger than that of ordinary steel. What are the disadvantages?" Ankato thought for a while and asked.

"If you want to talk about the shortcomings, it's not hard enough." Porto sighed and shook his head: "Look, if I were an aluminum-tungsten alloy tube with such a thick finger, I could bend it with just a little bit. This is much worse than a pure steel tube."

Ankato looked at the fingers that were stretched out from Porto, which were as thick as his two thumbs, and thought that if this was the case, the aluminum-tungsten alloy would be a little worse than ordinary pure steel in terms of impact resistance.

But when thinking about the amazing power of the dwarves, Ankato felt that this seemed to be no big deal.

After lowering his head and thinking carefully for a while, Ankato said: "From this perspective, this material is very suitable for making housings and partial support frames for home magic machinery. As long as it is not a part with excessive load-bearing force, it should be used. Some of the home magic machinery produced by our chamber of commerce now cannot be replaced by plastic, and it is a bit wasteful to use pure steel. This is just right."

"Hehe, we tried this thing to do it." Porto smiled with a smile on his lips, "By the way, I found this thing to be used as a window. You see, this thing is much stronger than wood, and it is corrosion-resistant, and it will last much longer."

"Oh? As you say, it's not just used for windows, but many places in the house can be used." Ankato thought for a while and nodded, "I suddenly felt that this aluminum-tungsten alloy is very useful, and at least it can be used in ordinary housing. Okay, I'll go back and tell the president that I think he can talk to the Amrits Chamber of Commerce. This thing must be very needed by the Amrits Chamber of Commerce."

"I'll leave this kind of thing to you, I don't care." Porto waved his hand and suddenly looked around, leaning closer to Ankato, whispering mysteriously: "In addition to this aluminum-tungsten alloy, there is another new research that you need to take back to the president to see."

Seeing the expression on Porto's face, Ankato immediately understood and did not speak, but just asked with his eyes.

Porto looked around again, then waved to Ankato, signaling him to follow him into an inner room of the laboratory located in the non-ferrous metal smelting factory.

"Come on, see how this thing is?" After entering the inner room, Porto closed the door, then took out a dark metal block and handed it to Ankato.

Ankato reached out to take it, and immediately felt a sank in his hands. He quickly held it in his hands to stabilize it.

"So heavy...so dense?" Antoka looked at the dark metal block in his hand in surprise, and could not see any material. "What alloy is this?"

"Most of them are lead, a small part is tungsten, and iron and a small amount of zinc are mixed with." Porto replied. "This thing is very dense, but it is extremely hard, has very strong impact pressure, and is quite tough. The Chamber of Commerce is planning to upgrade the specifications of magic machines and agricultural and engineering magic machines now. The president and Cambi have been worried about not finding materials that can withstand enough pressure. I think this is quite suitable."

"That's not a particularly important issue. The president said that as long as we improve the purity when smelting steel, we will definitely meet the requirements. But if this thing has better performance, it will certainly be better." Ankato weighed the metal block in his hand, thought for a while and asked: "The key question is, how is the cost of this thing?"

"Cost?" Porto was stunned and then smiled awkwardly. "It's hard to say. Anyway, this thing requires a lot of materials in this ore vein. I think since there are so many here, there shouldn't be any bad elsewhere."

"That's hard to say." Ankato shook his head and sighed: "No wonder he has always attached great importance to mineral resources. It would be great if this non-ferrous metal ore vein belonged to our chamber of commerce."

"I don't think there is anything difficult about this. With us dwarves here, are you still afraid that you can't find the mine?" said Porto.

"So what if you can find it? Can you still go to the Candela Empire or the Malo Empire to mine?" Ankato gave Porto a blank look.

Porto was speechless.

The two discussed the recent research results of the laboratory. Ankato proposed to Porto some recent research and development activities of the chamber of commerce, and left the laboratory and went to the factory. He found the person in charge of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce who stayed here and asked him the order for various non-ferrous metals brought this time.

This is why Ankato just sighed.

Although this non-ferrous metal smelting factory is jointly operated by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Falkao Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also enjoys part of the equity. However, because it is not wholly owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, even if the non-ferrous metal materials smelted by the non-ferrous metal vein itself, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still has to purchase according to normal channels if it needs it.

Because of this procedure, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is subject to many restrictions.

For example, the Magic Machine Tool R&D Center and the Magic Research Institute have always hoped to get some pure copper for experiments, but because of the special effect of copper that can be used to make copper coins, copper is subject to special control in the Kingdom of Lampari, and the Falcao Chamber of Commerce will not consider selling it to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at all.

In addition to copper, the production targets of non-ferrous metal smelting factories cannot be fully formulated according to the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Take the New Air Chamber of Commerce’s home magic machinery department, which Ankato is responsible for, as an example, because the latest version of various home magic machinery needs to be upgraded in terms of materials to be updated. There is now a very high demand for aluminum and zinc.

However, the Falkao Chamber of Commerce insisted on giving priority to pure copper smelting, resulting in the low yield of aluminum and zinc.

The non-ferrous metal mine and smelting factory near the Wollar werewolf tribe can be produced completely according to the needs of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The main non-ferrous metals in that vein are aluminum ore and lead ore, but the zinc ore has not been found at all. Therefore, if you want zinc, you can only obtain it from here.

Therefore, even Ankato, who has not been paying much attention to this kind of thing, did not independently hope that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce could control more non-ferrous metal veins on its own, so as not to be restricted by others.

However, the situation in the Lampari Kingdom is quite complicated, and it is already quite difficult for the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce to participate here. If you want to obtain one or even a few veins, it is impossible at least in the short term.

Ankato and the head of the Falkao Chamber of Commerce were polite for a long time, and then he could compete for his request to urge the mines to mine more zinc ores.

As for the actual effect, only God knows...

A day later, Ankato watched President Pompei lead a fleet of freight magic locomotives loaded with up to 17 tons of various non-ferrous metals on the road to Bonta City, and then turned around to the Fit Chamber of Commerce.

"General Manager of the Home Magic Machinery Department of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

President Cherno of the Fit Chamber of Commerce looked at the famous notes handed over by Ankato, and then looked at Ankato, who was young, would never be over thirty years old. He thought that if it weren't for the old acquaintance of Sarkic, he would not believe that such a young man would be the head of a department of such a big chamber of commerce as the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

"That... General Manager Ankato, what's wrong with you coming to our Fit Chamber of Commerce?" President Cherno looked at Ankato with a look of vigilance and suspicion.

As a representative of the New Air Chamber of Commerce, this person came to his small magic machinery chamber that produces magic fans and magic kettles, which always makes people feel bad.

Ankato smiled slightly: "President Cherno, I remember that you, the Fit Chamber of Commerce, purchased the related production technology of magic fans and magic kettles from our Chamber of Commerce in March and June last year, and spent 63,000 gold coins and 72,000 gold coins respectively for this?"

President Cherno narrowed his eyes and looked at Ankato with a sharper look of vigilance.

This guy obviously made preparations in advance, so he must have been bad at the visitor.

"That's right, General Manager Ankato, what do you want to say when you mention this?" President Cherno asked coldly.

Ankato kept his smile unchanged, paused, and continued: "President Cherno, when I visited your factory just now, I found that the magic fan and magic kettle production lines of your Chamber of Commerce are not perfect, and there are several models missing. Since you are willing to spend so much money to buy related technologies of magic fans and magic kettles, then are you willing to spend another amount of money to perfect the entire production line and related technologies?"

President Cherno was stunned.

According to Ankato's words, would the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce intend to fully open all the production technologies of magic fans and magic kettles to them?

Thinking of this possibility, President Cherno's heart couldn't stop beating violently. (To be continued...)
