Chapter 45 Steelmaking

After moving the inhabitants, no, it should be said that slaves into the castle, he began to prepare for steelmaking.

Steel is the foundation of industry, and industry is the basis of scientific research, and industry without steel is just a castle in the air; And scientific research without industry is the moon in the water, but in the world of "Original Fairy Tale: Sleeping Beauty", there is precisely no such foundation, so Li Chao has to start from scratch.

He first asked the craftsmen to select a group of strong slaves, then he asked the craftsmen to teach them some very basic things, and then he began to make steel.

To make steel, he first had to build a blast furnace, and it took him nearly half a month to build the blast furnace, and in this process, he used the power of prayer to pray that the blast furnace built by the craftsman would be completed at one time.

In addition, he also used the Book of Ciric to bless these slaves with all kinds of magic, including the power of a bull and the agility of cats, ensuring that they could be used by three or four people.

After the blast furnace is built, it is time for coking.

Coking is a very important part of the steelmaking process, the coke it produces can provide a higher temperature for the blast furnace, is an important fuel and reducing agent for blast furnace ironmaking, and is also the proppant and loosening agent of the entire blast furnace column, and the coke oven gas produced by coking has a high calorific value, which is an excellent gas fuel for open-hearth furnaces and heating furnaces.

After the coking was completed, Li Chao began to make steel, and he instructed the craftsmen to add materials such as iron ore and coke to the blast furnace, and then set it on fire.

"I don't know if steelmaking can be done." The tall Adolf wiped a handful of sweat and looked at the blast furnace nervously, "I heard that blast furnace steelmaking is easy to fail. ”

He didn't want to fail.

Although he was only a blacksmith, he worked hard for more than ten days for this blast furnace, and it was just like his work, and no one wanted his work to fail.

"It's not going to fail."

Li Chao turned a page of the Book of Ciric and communicated with the Book of Ciric, "The Book of Ciric, please perform the Prayer Technique, and pray that the blast furnace will not fail." ”

"As you wish."

The light of the Prayer Technique flashed, and it seemed that a little change had occurred in the dark, but it was as if nothing had happened, but in a place where no one was noticing, the cracks in the blast furnace healed automatically, and these cracks could have caused the failure of steelmaking, but under the effect of Prayer, these hidden dangers were eliminated one by one.

Adolf noticed the glow of the prayer technique, and his eyes immediately widened, and his lips squirmed, "You ......." ”

"I'm a wizard." Li Chao didn't hide his meaning at all.

The world of "Original Fairy Tale: Sleeping Beauty" is not the world of "Bloody Fairy Tale: Snow White", in the world of "Bloody Fairy Tale: Snow White", the wizard is a street teacher, and once he appears, he will be chased and intercepted by the people and priests, intending to burn him to death.

Even the queen will be burned to death once she is labeled as a witch.

But in the world of "Original Fairy Tale: Sleeping Beauty", it is different, here, fairies with mysterious powers can walk on the earth openly, and even become the king's guests, and even get angry because the king does not invite him, curse the princess and cause the fall of a kingdom, if this kind of thing is changed in the world of "Bloody Fairy Tale: Snow White", let alone curse the princess to destroy the kingdom, as soon as the fairy appears, the Holy See will immediately do its best to hunt down and kill, There will be no rest until the fairies are caught and tied to the cross and burned to death.

So he didn't care about his identity being exposed at all, and even consciously exposed his wizard identity to deter these slaves.

Sure enough, after he showed his mysterious means, these slaves regarded him as a wizard, and the awe in his eyes became stronger and stronger, in this world, the horror of wizards is still above the nobles and kings, and if you offend the king and nobles, you still have a chance to escape, but if you offend the wizards, the terrible curse will come immediately, and there will be no way to get rid of the curse of the wizard for eternity, including the descendants of the bloodline.

The temperature in the blast furnace gradually increased, the fire froam, and the molten iron in the furnace gradually formed. ”

Hearing the sound, the craftsman immediately opened the iron mouth, and the red molten iron flowed out in a slow but firm way and landed in the pot of heating tongs.

"It worked." Adolf became excited, his tall body kept shaking, and the whole person became excited, "It's really successful, it's out of molten iron." ”

"I didn't expect that this could also produce molten iron, all of this is a gift from the great king Li Chao." The mayor of the town was also in the crowd, and he shouted excitedly.

Just now he saw the magic flickering in Li Chao's hand, although he didn't know what kind of magic it was, but this did not prevent him from praising Li Chao, "If it weren't for the gift of His Majesty the Great King, we wouldn't have been able to refine molten iron at all." ”

"Yes, a gift from His Majesty the Great King."

"His Majesty is great."

"His Majesty the King is omnipotent."

Li Chao's eyes flickered twice, and he did not refuse this cult of personality, after all, his foundation in the castle is unstable, before he is crowned king by the pope, he may be kicked down by Princess Tanasha at any time, but it is different when he has a cult of personality, these people are equivalent to his foundation, and it is not so easy for Princess Tanasha to cross the river and tear him down with a kick.

"Everyone, be quiet." Li Chao raised his hand and pressed it down, and the field immediately quieted down, he glanced around, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to everyone for working together to complete this blast furnace, and the molten iron was produced in the first test, as a reward, I will redeem the promise I promised to everyone." ”

"I declare that all of you are no longer slaves, and I, Li Chao, have pardoned you."

"It's amazing."

"I'm finally not a slave."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Everyone shouted wildly, breathing excitedly and hugging, Li Chao understood this emotion, so he didn't bother, but waited until these people's emotions calmed down a little and immediately assigned the task, "Adolf, you lead the craftsman to complete the next steps." ”

He glanced at Adolf, saw that he was a little nervous, and immediately laughed, "Don't be nervous, just follow the steps I taught you, and you won't fail." ”

"Mayor Town, from now on, you are the steward here, I hope you will do a good job."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
