Chapter 4: Magical Farming

Will and Vera are really children, and they would have an argument over such a small issue. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After hearing the reason for their dispute, Bliss laughed dumbly and said, "The quality of the iron produced in the ironworks is indeed inferior to the iron that Uncle Owen has worked so hard to smash. ”

"Vera, look. ”

Will looked at Vera pouting triumphantly, "Briss said that the iron in the ironworks is not as good as the iron made in my house. ”

"But ......"

Then, Bliss's voice changed, interrupted Will, and continued, "This is mainly because the current state of the technology in the ironworks is not to the point where the mass production of good quality iron, for example, if you want to make pig iron into steel, do you know how to make it?"

"Steel?"

As soon as Bliss said this, Will and Vera looked at each other with a confused look.

What is this statement?

Neither Will nor Vera had ever heard of such a statement, he shook his head and replied, "Briss, steel production is very small, most people use iron, few people know how to make steel, Briss, do you know how to make steel?"

This otherworldly version of the steam age is developing in a somewhat strange direction, although there have been rivets and iron sheets, but there have not yet been large-scale industrial plants such as steelworks, and some are only alternative factories that are one grade lower than steel.

For Bliss, this is a very difficult phenomenon to understand, after all, steam, coal, and steel are the three representatives that make up the first industrial revolution, and the sudden discovery that there is steam, coal but no steel in this steam age is as surprising to Bliss as it is to suddenly discover that the earth is not round.

Well, in fact, the atrium world is a continent, and it is true that it is not round.

It's better if the mine production of this atrium world is low.

Bliss thought to himself, and replied, "I don't know much about it, but at least I know some of the steps of steelmaking." ”

"The difference between pig iron and steel lies in the carbon content, and pig iron into steel is the process of reducing carbon content, if you want to make steel, you need high temperature, you need to hammer it down, hammer by hammer, so that you can reduce the carbon content of pig iron little by little, and convert carbon into carbon dioxide with high temperature, which is a process of external force change. ”

Bliss thought about it seriously, "As for the steelworks, they may not be very mature now, and there are no professional steelmaking furnaces, so the level is not high enough, and the quality is not as good as the iron that Uncle Owen has hammered out thousands of times, but believe me, this situation will not last long, and the blacksmith will eventually be eliminated by the times." ”

Science and technology will eventually become the mainstream of the times, whether it is on the earth or in another world, this law will not change, unless there is a more advanced way of productivity than science and technology in this other world, but ...... Looking at the current situation, there should be no more advanced productivity than steam.

That being said, but according to Red's diary and some of Red's accounts, there are wizards in this world, and some things that sound very fantastical and magical.

What does this mean? It means that the Atrium world is probably also a world with a magical system.

Although the productivity of magic is not as good as technology, it can be used to help support industry with some small means of magic, such as using necromancy to summon some dead zombies as labor to promote industrial development?

These words of Will and Vera have given them a new idea of development, and after they have their own forces, they can try it.

Bliss thought secretly in his heart, and after explaining it to Will and Vera, he guided the topic intentionally or unintentionally, "Speaking of which, Will, Vera, have you ever been to Strasbourg?"

"Strasbourg?"

What Briss said before sounded very profound to Will and Vera, and the two of them were ignorant, so as soon as they heard that Briss had the intention of changing the subject, Will immediately took Briss's words, "I followed my father there. ”

"I've been there too. ”

Vera followed Will.

"That's right. ”

Bliss bowed his head slightly and asked, "What's it like there?"

"What?"

Will was slightly stunned, "Every kid in the civilian area has been to Strasbourg, Briss, haven't you been to Strasbourg with Uncle Red?"

The civilian area on the outskirts of Strasbourg is not far from the city, and it seems strange to Will and Vera that Briss has not been to Strasbourg.

"Uh......"

Briss only thought that Will and Vera were two children, and he didn't want to be seen by these two children that something was wrong, he coughed twice, and said on the spot: "Hmm...... You know, I'm usually a bit of a home, I don't like to go out very much, and Red invited me to go to Strasbourg, but I turned it down......"

"Since you want to know what Strasbourg is like, why don't you go with Uncle Red. ”

Unwittingly, the bear child Will continues to dismantle the stage.

“......”

Is this bear kid here specifically to dismantle the stage?

Bliss was gagged by the bear child's words, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke, "I'm suddenly interested in Strasbourg, can't I?"

"Okay, you can say anything. ”

As a return gift for losing face just now, looking at Bliss's deflated expression, Will showed a happy smile and said, "Strasbourg is nothing different, just the general appearance of a big city. ”

“......”

The corners of Bliss twitched, "Mr. Will, is there any difference between your answer and not answering?"

"Bliss, don't pay attention to Will's stingy fellow, he's still thinking about what you said earlier. ”

Seeing the usually taciturn Bliss showing a deflated expression, Vera couldn't help but laugh, she swept a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear, and smiled, "He doesn't want to tell you, I'll tell you." ”

"Strasbourg, in fact, is like the name that other people give to Strasbourg, and Strasbourg can be summed up in the words three-dimensional city. ”

"There are a lot of high-rise buildings in Strasbourg, there are a lot of people, there are a lot of machines, it looks very prosperous, there are a lot of rich people, but more of them are poor people who have no food, no water and no shelter, the social security is not as good as it seems, there are thieves stealing money during the day, robbers robbing, there is smoke from steam engines everywhere, the air is very poor, there are sewage beaches on the ground, the river that passes through the city is black, and there is a rumbling, Smoky steam locomotives, trust me, Briss, you won't want to go a second time after you've been to that kind of place once. ”

Vera's words are quite vivid.

Listening to Vera's words, Briss was amused - listening to this, this is not the Victorian fog capital of London.

The Holy See of Light, the Holy See of Light, you have chosen a good place.
