Renault thought that all he needed was a blast furnace to smelt iron ore, but when he saw Solo's drawings on a parchment roll, he realized that he was taking it for granted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Smelting iron ore requires not only blast furnaces and iron ore, but also coke ovens to produce coke and blowers to supply oxygen.

When you get a whole set of things, you take up a lot of space.

He studied the drawings for a few days, changed some of the manual operations to semi-automation, and added elevated shelves, which could directly feed the raw materials into the furnace through the pulley, and then row them out through the pulley.

This not only eliminates most of the manpower, but also improves safety and efficiency.

This improvement has already made Solo so excited that he can't wait to start working overnight, and he can't wait to see this semi-automated smelting line.

The more troublesome thing is the blower.

Old-fashioned blowers are driven by manpower or horses, and the air volume is not ideal.

So Renault used a thick steel pipe to bring water from the upper reaches of the Liucui River to drive a simple turbine as the power of the blower, which was ideal except for the relatively loud noise and the rapid wear of the shaft.

This made Renault deeply feel the inconvenience of not having a power engine.

He decided to wait until the blast furnace was officially put into operation and start developing the prime mover.

Steam turbines are good, but before that, you have to have a lathe and bearings.

It's not something that can be done in a day or two, he decided to wait until the spring, look at the calendar on his phone, and the New Year will be in ten days.

He wrote a long list of all kinds of fabrics, ingredients, fresh cattle and sheep, candy, fireworks, and so on.

In fact, there is no New Year's holiday in this world, and the calendar is different from the Gregorian calendar, but in his territory, from this day on, it is the first day of January.

Along with the various materials, there are also more than a dozen tailors who will make a new set of clothes for everyone in Black Iron Town.

There weren't many people in the town, and they could afford to spend the gold.

When he was measuring the size, Renault noticed that none of the 100 new homeless children had arrived, and finally found them in the corner of the new school.

Seeing their frightened looks, Renault was furious.

It's not that his sympathy is overflowing, the reason why he has asked people to find so many homeless children to come back is to train them to become technical talents in Black Iron Town.

These children don't have families, and if they can live in Black Iron Town, they will have a strong sense of belonging, which is much easier to manage than adults who drag their families with their families.

However, as Bucky said, such a big child already has a mind of his own, and if he is not properly educated, he may be a burden on Black Iron Town.

Renault asked with a straight face, "Who is in charge of taking care of these children?"

"It seems to be Charlotte. ”

It was an oversight on his part, and Charlotte had forgotten to appoint another person in charge after leaving, and he thought for a moment and said, "Go and gather all the guards." ”

What Renault meant was that the kids had to have a home eventually.

Only children who grow up in a harmonious family will be psychologically healthy, even if they join a family temporarily, it is better than becoming a wild child without discipline.

And Renault's bodyguards are excellent candidates for these children.

Most of them are Renault's original miners, many of them are natives of Black Iron Town, and most of them have families.

It would be a good idea if each family could adopt two or three, send them to school during the day, have a home to return to at night, and have a brave "father" of the guards as a role model.

Of course, all the expenses of the child are borne by Renault, and there is a high subsidy, but the premise is that there must be a full-time housewife in the family.

After hearing Renault's statement, the guards expressed their willingness to adopt. Most of them have only one or no children, and for people in this world, there is no big family that is a symbol of poverty.

Things went surprisingly well, and after more than fifty families had adopted, there was only one left.

"Why is there any left?" Renault frowned as he looked at the adoption list,

"This one is special. "He refused to be adopted, saying he wanted to get a job." ”

Renaud called the boy and was amused at first sight, a white little fat man, at least fifteen or sixteen years old.

He must have been brought back by Ferre and the North, and he was in class with the street children, but for his age, he was indeed able to work.

"What's your name?" he asked Chubby.

"Harry. ”

"Okay Harry, what kind of job do you want to look for?"

"I am a chef, my lord. Harry replied.

"Well, I just need a chef. "It's a coincidence, Renault thinks it's funny, he didn't find the ideal chef in Sequoia Town this time, and he originally planned to let people find it in more prosperous towns in the future.

Looking at it now, it would be more desirable to have a ready-made kid to cultivate.

Eating is very important, and when you become a lord in another world, you have to cook by yourself, or you have to eat things that are hard to swallow, which is so boring.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that Harry was from Intraroyalty, and he had no mother when he was very young. His father was a chef for a big businessman, so Harry's childhood was quite comfortable.

This can also be seen in his speech and demeanor, compared to other poor street children, he obviously has some experience in dialogue with nobles.

In the summer, his father fell ill and died, and Harry was kicked out of the merchant's mansion.

Unable to endure the abuse of the mine owner, he secretly drugged the water tank of the coal mine, which his father had left for him on his deathbed and had been hiding in his shoes.

Then he escaped with the other child laborers in the coal mines, but although the north was large, there was no place for them.

When he was frozen and almost unconscious, he finally ran into Ferry, so he followed him to Black Iron Town.

After listening to his story, Renault couldn't help but look at this white and tender little fat man.

"What happened to the last coal miner?" asked Renault, "did you let him go?"

"Of course not," Harry's eyes flashed with horror, and finally slowly became firm, "I ruined his hands and feet! Hey, I'm a cook, he can't walk or lift his arms in his life." He deserves it!"

After saying that, he timidly raised his eyes, as if realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

No employer would like to hurt a chef from his former employer, and the thought of this made him terrified.

Maybe he will be kicked out, what to do, he likes this place very much, there are no fierce foremen, there is no cold and hunger, and every day is like a dream for them who have experienced wandering.

But it was all gone, and he was immediately depressed.

"Don't think too much, I don't think you're unjust. Because of your resistance, the other child laborers were rescued and eventually came to Black Iron Town. He paused, "You just have to work hard, and if you perform well, you will get a little bonus in addition to your salary." The chef from Wang Dulai should have some skills. ”

"I ...... Can I really?" Harry looked at Renault in disbelief.

"If you pass the test, come with me and teach you how to make an egg tart." ”
