However, these blacksmiths could only seize the sinking market, while the most high-end market was completely monopolized by Quan Yi alone.
Currently, in Saus City, no one can forge a Bicycle that can withstand the power of a Soul King.
Therefore, as the industry leader, Quan Yi has relied on his unparalleled technical skills to earn a staggering seventy million Gold Soul Coins in the past two years.
What can seventy million Gold Soul Coins do? It can help the Quan Family build a medium-sized Shipyard from scratch in just two years, giving the Quan Family the ability to independently research and build ships.
Thanks to Quan Yi's financial support, Quan Li and Yun Qiong, Quan Yue and Su Ling'er directly abandoned their long-planned projects and poured a large amount of money into establishing the Shipyard as quickly as possible.
In addition to the Shipyard, Quan Yi can completely cover all the expenses required for the relocation of thousands of family members, with plenty to spare.
And this is only one-third of all the funds.
In the past two years, after the Quan Family's exploration and adaptation to the sea, they have been able to salvage and capture marine biological resources in the shallow sea areas.
With a solid foundation, the Quan Family, led by a Soul Douluo and three Soul Saints, is already attempting to hunt hundred-year Soul Beasts in the shallow sea areas.
That's right, Su Ling'er, Quan Yi's mother, has also successfully entered the Soul Saint level.
The Quan Family's top strength in Hanhai City can be said to be well-deserved.
If it weren't for the environmental factors favoring Sea Soul Masters, the Quan Family could have become the number one family in Hanhai City.
Quan Yi invested the other one-third of the funds in the research and development of key Firearms and Ironware.
With Quan Yi's investment, regardless of cost, and some clues hidden in his memory, Quan Yi finally developed the long-awaited Smokeless Gunpowder.
Based on Nitrocellulose, it is dissolved in Ethanol and Ether, and an appropriate amount of stabilizer is added to make it a gelatinous substance.
Then, through a series of processes such as compression, cutting, and drying, Smokeless Gunpowder with epoch-making significance is manufactured.
Regarding the research of Smokeless Gunpowder, Quan Yi has never forgotten to study Smokeless Gunpowder since he studied Black Gunpowder.
The most critical cotton, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, Ethanol, and Ether for Smokeless Gunpowder can be found and made by Quan Yi with some effort and time. As for the remaining stabilizer components, Quan Yi can't remember clearly, so he can only try them one by one.
It took several years, and finally, Quan Yi created Smokeless Gunpowder.
With it, Quan Yi can bring about revolutionary changes in bullets and rifles.
Of course, the research and development of Smokeless Gunpowder is absolutely confidential. At this stage, only Quan Yi and a few researchers know about this part.
Moreover, Gunpowder researchers and Ironware researchers have always been separated, so the confidentiality is extremely high.
At this point, the power that Quan Yi has mastered is already very terrifying.
However, Quan Yi has always maintained restraint, and the reason lies in the Titled Douluos, Dugu Bo and Qian Daoliu, he encountered in the past.
The overwhelming individual strength makes Titled Douluos superior to everything.
Especially Qian Daoliu, that unparalleled powerful aura, Quan Yi can't forget it until now.
These experiences gave Quan Yi, who was a little arrogant at the time, a blow to the head.
So, after that, Quan Yi re-settled down and began to move towards a higher realm.
In addition to Smokeless Gunpowder, Quan Yi is also researching more efficient and powerful Steam power units for various complex fields.
In the past two years, in addition to the initial Steam Forging Hammer, Quan Yi has also manufactured Steam-powered automatic production lines.
Even, Quan Yi has found Petroleum to replace coal and firewood.
In this era, people have a very low degree of utilization of Petroleum, so Petroleum is ignored by people.
However, Quan Yi knows the correct way to use Petroleum.
He first uses Fractional Distillation to heat Petroleum. In Petroleum Steam, components with different molecular sizes and different boiling points will enter pipes with different heights according to the height they rise in the container.
In this way, various Fuel Gas, Light Oil, Kerosene, etc. with different functions can be initially obtained.
In this way, Quan Yi can obtain fuel at extremely low prices to provide power for the Steam engine.
Having done all this, Quan Yi didn't even spend one-third of one-third.
Quan Yi stored the remaining funds and the last one-third to prepare for the future.
From the city gate, entering the city, there are more Bicycles.
City residents have higher incomes than those outside the city, and the city's road construction is more complete than outside the city, leading to a proliferation of Bicycles.
After all, a Bicycle doesn't require feeding horses like a Carriage, and with slight modifications, it can carry heavy loads.
Therefore, Saus City has gradually become known among the surrounding cities for its Bicycles.
When Quan Yi returned, the Academy had already reached vacation time. Huo Wu and Huo Wuxie had just obtained their Soul Rings and had to return home to reunite with their families.
So, Quan Yi said goodbye to Huo Wu and Huo Wuxie, and then headed alone towards the Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop.
It was just past noon, and Quan Yi could start his iron forging practice.
...
Underground Forging Room.
"Clang, clang."
The muffled knocking sound rang out with a certain rhythm, and the sound became louder and louder each time.
Quan Yi, stripped to the waist, continuously struck the iron block placed on the giant anvil with his fists.
Quan Yi's strength was transmitted through the anvil to the ground, causing slight vibrations in the underground Forging Room.
It should be known that in order to withstand the powerful force of the Steam Forging Hammer, they had thoroughly solidified the foundation of the Basement long ago.
However, Quan Yi was able to cause the stable ground to vibrate, which shows that Quan Yi's strength has exceeded the power of the current Steam Forging Hammer.
Moreover, not only strength, Quan Yi's Gauntlets can instantly transfer the heat of the flames to the inside of the iron block during the hammering process, so that the iron block always maintains the same temperature.
This allows the iron block to fuse better.
Quan Yi's figure changed rapidly with the rapid strikes of his fists, and the speed of his footwork was even faster than the speed of his punches.
After one punch, Quan Yi immediately cooperated with his footwork to perfectly transmit the reaction force to the next strike, and his strong thighs became the support point for the transmission of power.
This kind of fighting style is much better than simply rotating his arms two years ago.
In the long process of practice, Quan Yi has been thinking and constantly improving this Borrowing Strength technique.
As Fire Stars splashed, Quan Yi's figure became more and more swift and frantic, and his fists poured down like a rainstorm on a banana leaf onto an iron block larger than Quan Yi.
The iron block in front of Quan Yi was a pile of iron blocks weighing up to five thousand kilograms.
The height of the pile was level with the ceiling of the Basement.
However, in Quan Yi's thirtieth punch of the Fifty-Four Hit Combo, the volume was reduced by half.
At the fortieth hit, the volume was reduced by half again.
At the fiftieth hit, the volume was reduced by half again.
At the final fifty-fourth hit, the iron mountain, which was two Quan Yis tall, was forcibly reduced to a regular iron block the size of an adult's torso.
Quan Yi released this terrifying Fifty-Four Hit Combo and directly hammered the ordinary iron block into pure, regular Iron Essence.
