Chapter Seventy-Three: The Blast Furnace

The white-bearded dwarf rune master led by "My Wang ......" saluted Da Liang, he was a little taller than the child's Da Liang, but his respect for Da Liang was indeed from the heart.

In the final battle of the Dwarven War of Independence, Da Liang saved the dwarves from the elves, preserved the main force and ruling class of the dwarves, and allowed them to migrate to Obsidian City in the endless labyrinth.

Saved the dwarves from repeating the fate of the Drow Elves.

In the war against the elves, the drow elves were broken by the spine of the race. The main force and the ruling layer were completely wiped out, and the undignified fled into the endless labyrinth like a lost dog. As a result, from a high-level civilized race to an underground barbarian, the race had no centripetal force and was driven to the most barren wilderness, and since then it has been in a state of decline.

Da Liang helped the dwarves occupy a rich dungeon, and intervened to get the underground kings to admit the dwarves' control of the underground area. He re-established the economic system of the dwarves, and despite the opposition of the elves, recognized the dwarves as an independent race, and invited the dwarves to join the five-color flag alliance, declaring the protection of the weakened race by force.

The grateful Dwarven King announced that he had conferred on Da Liang the title of "King of the Dwarves Side by Side", meaning that his status in the Dwarf Clan was equal to that of the Dwarven King.

In the Dwarven King...... In the absence of the King of the Hill, Bright can take the role of the King of the Hill.

Therefore, whether it is Da Liang's kindness to the dwarves or his identity, all the dwarves have the highest respect for him.

After saluting Da Liang, the Dwarven Rune Master said, "King, we have enchanted the Rune Language on this steelmaking blast furnace at your request.

The internal runic language can increase the temperature inside the blast furnace and regulate the temperature in different positions.

The external Rune Whisper can also infuse the Magic Word into the molten steel produced after strengthening the blast furnace and resisting heat.

It's just that the facilities here are nowhere near as good as the steel mill we built in Hellflame City from the Great Grave. The equipment there, we have all enchanted the high-level Rune Language, and the magic language steel produced has a magical effect. ”

Of course, Da Liang knew that the Saroyan No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant he built could not be comparable to the steel plant in the Great Tomb. The cost of the Great Tomb Steel Plant is too high, and the limited production capacity is only enough for the interior of the Great Tomb, which is not suitable for large-scale mass production.

Like the blast furnace in front of you, it has an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons. A few more such blast furnaces can easily produce one million tons of steel per year.

It's all about money, and what the Great Tomb lacks now is money.

Da Liang had great respect for the scientific research and technical personnel of the Great Tomb, and he returned the salute to the Dwarven Rune Master, saying, "Thank you for your contribution to the construction of the Great Tomb, the steel produced by the Dwarves allows us to face any challenges.

The magic steel produced by this steelmaking blast furnace has met my requirements. Better steel mills can be built slowly in the future.

You can go back to the Great Grave now and reserve a lot of magic steel, and we will need many, many high-grade magic steel in the future. ”

"Do as you wish, my king!"

All the Dwarven Rune Masters saluted Da Liang together: "Do your bidding, my king! ”

The Dwarven Rune Masters leave the Iron Works and return to the Great Tomb via a teleportation magic circle. When Da Liang was thinking about finding a good day and an auspicious day to officially smelt steel, Sophia behind him lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness." The Marquis of Whitehead has just sent someone to Élysée Avenue to invite you to the Governor's Palace...... Discuss the production of steel at the steel mill. ”

It seems that the First Iron Works has not moved for so many days, which makes the Marquis of Whitehead a little anxious. The salaries of so many workers, as well as the huge amount of consumption that would occur every day when the factory does not open, are paid for by the Whitehead family company.

There are also steel mills that do not produce steel, and steelmaking blast furnaces are closed, which has caused a lot of rumors.

The steelworks were an important part of the Marquis of Whitehead's many plans, and if the steelworks were not moving, his plans would not move.

Therefore, the Marquis of Whitehead could not wait to invite Da Liang to the Governor to discuss the production of steel at the steelworks as soon as possible......

"Okay...... The closure of the steelmaking blast furnace was lifted, and the workers were allowed to come in and debug the machine, and if there was no problem, the steelmaking was ignited. After Da Liang gave the order, he said to Sophia: "Let's go back and prepare to go to the palace of the governor of Marcellus." ”

Inside the Doge's Palace. Anne, dressed in a lady's attire, sat at a round table on the lawn and drank tea with the Marquis.

The sudden disappearance of a large number of agents from the Special Security Service has essentially kicked the forces of the Brotherhood out of the body on behalf of Deputy Chief Kemir. The Security Bureau has become safe, and Anne, the director, is faced with two choices.

One is to officially take over the work of the Special Security Service, use her intelligence skills to the fullest, and assist the Marquis of Whitehead to achieve the Empire's control of Marcellus.

The second is to resign from the post of head of the Special Security Service and hand over the Security Service to Kemir. In this way, Anne will return to the Empire and return to the General Security Bureau to wait for promotion.

"I'd like to hear your thoughts." The Marquis of Whitehead said to his daughter, "But I have to warn you...... Kemir kept his eyes on the position of the director. He is a capable man and is very knowledgeable about the multilateral situation in Marcellus.

However, his words as head of the Security Service did not reassure me. Without the Brotherhood, he was the target of the council's co-optation, in Saroyan...... Few people are clean. Once Kemir backs the water, it's a big problem. ”

Anne asked rhetorically, "Didn't you already promise Camille that he would handle the affairs of the Brotherhood and that the position of the head of the Security Bureau would be his?" ”

The marquis sneered: "Yes, I promised him." But did he clean up the Brotherhood? Some shrimp were caught, but none of the core members were caught, but they were scared out of the security bureau.

Now the Brotherhood is completely in the shadows, hiding even deeper.

I can say that Kemir did his job, or I can say that he was grossly negligent...... It depends on your choice. ”

Anne looked at her father. Growing up, my father arranged everything for himself, and I had the impression that he rarely let himself choose anything. This is especially true of the importance of empires and provinces...... What is his purpose?

Unable to figure out her father's true intentions, Anne said without much thought: "I don't want to continue to be the director of the Security Bureau, but I also don't want to go back to the Empire's General Security Bureau." ”

Seeing that her father did not respond to her choice, Miss Anne said with a sense of understanding: "My appointment as director of the Security Bureau is an excess, and the matter of Marcellus is better left to someone who is familiar with it." Although Kemir is an old fox, I believe he is definitely no match for you.

The changes in the empire, and even in the world, are in Saroyan.

I can't leave at this time! Maybe...... Father, you have arranged my work. ”
