Wilwitt dragged his fat body and was active in the high society of the imperial capital for the first time, whether he was a clown, an upstart, or an agent of a young genius, this fat man showed a sense of presence in the upper class society of the imperial capital, and left a deep impression on the hearts of the real bigwigs.

Qin Shouzhuo was also surprised, the fat man actually finished talking about everything in half a month, from the large-scale infrastructure construction, the construction of the industrial base, to the daily box lunch of the engineering team, all of which were properly arranged, revealing extraordinary operational ability.

Then, all the pressure was concentrated on Qin Shouzhuo.

In just one week, Qin Shouzhuo's laboratory welcomed more than 30 waves of guests to visit the experimental complete set of equipment in operation.

Qin Shouzhuo, a rising star in the upper class of the imperial capital, has always been extremely low-key, except for necessary situations, and never even participates in various balls and dinners, so that the imperial capital has always been only known by his name. This time, although Qin Shouzhuo was not conspicuous in the so-called upper class, he really attracted the eyes of the real bigwigs in the imperial capital to him.

Alexander......

The set of equipment in the laboratory of the college is all handmade, small in size, and the efficiency naturally cannot go up, but when it is running, the low temperature and low pressure are much lower than the requirements for materials and processing capacity, but it is not smooth sailing to use, Qin Shouzhuo has been modifying and upgrading it, and it is no longer the same generation of products compared to when it was first born.

Even if it is only scaled up, the problems faced are not general.

The equipment in the laboratory, the daily output is a little more than two cans with a diameter of 1.2 meters and a height of 1 meter, because Qin Shouzhuo has been improving the process and formula, for a period of time, the highest output in a single day is only 1.5 cans. The planned formal mass production equipment is a metal jungle covering an area of 5,000 square meters, with a total weight of more than 200,000 tons, and a behemoth with a planned annual output of 100,000 tons of low-grade mana recovery potions.

With such a huge set of steel jungles like castles, it is naturally not a simple matter to build, and the first problem Qin Shouzhuo encountered was materials.

After Qin Shouzhuo's improvement, the magic recovery potion is no longer the previous water-based, but a prepared mineral solution, but after all, it contains water, and Lawrence City receives a lot of precipitation every year, so rust prevention has become a big problem. Qin Shouzhuo didn't want the equipment he had worked so hard to build to be scrapped due to rust in just one year, that would be too stupid.

Leaving aside the demanding requirements for the properties of the material, steel with a total weight of more than 200,000 tons alone cannot be supplied by the Southern Diocese. For the record, the Lawrence Empire has produced an average of around 2,000 tonnes of steel a year over the past three years, accounting for half of the total steel production in the entire southern parish. Roughly calculated, the annual steel production of the southern diocese is about 4,000 tons, and it will take 50 years just to gather the target of 200,000 tons of steel required for the complete set of equipment, which is still a theoretical algorithm in the ideal case without considering the steel quality of local steelmaking.

In the face of huge R&D pressure, Qin Shouzhuo decisively threw out the material dilemma, guiding many investors to shift their attention to the problem of insufficient steel production and decisively throwing the pot.

Such a large steel production gap will have been urging Qin Shouchou's R&D progress The bigwigs have been suppressed, even if the R&D is successful, we can't even save up the steel to build a set of equipment. All of a sudden, the angry crowd crowded Qin Shouchou's laboratory, and he dared to take out the things that couldn't be made to fool people, if it weren't for Qin Shouchuang's hard back, he would have been able to dismantle the testing machine in the laboratory on the spot.

Of course, Qin Shouzhuo didn't come out to fool people, but he was a little sure.

When he was first awarded the title of baron, in order to show his concern for Princess Sophia, His Majesty the Emperor once explained that Qin Shouzhuo's baronial fief can be picked at will, even if it is next to the imperial capital, and more importantly, Qin Shouchou's territory is a real fief. Although it is only a one-generation fiefdom, it is not a concept with the princes of other court sequences.

Qin Shouzhuo chose the Babia River, a small tributary of the Linqing River, which flowed through most of the empire, and was very short and curved, almost all of which were included in the Barony of Babia. More importantly, there is an iron mountain in this place.

The entire mountain is made of high-quality iron ore with a taste of more than 60%, and is the largest known mine in the Lawrence Empire, which has always existed under the name of a barren barren mountain, and is the poorest area of Pavel Province. And along the Babiya River into the Linqing River Basin, not very far away, there is more than one place that can provide high-quality coal, which can be said to be the best steelmaking location.

After the end of the Victor volley in the northwest of the Earldom of Feibudach, Qin Shouzhuo left Elsa Camilla and her subordinates in the Earldom of Feibudach, officially registered a mercenary group, relying on the developed air duct system of the Earldom of Feibudach to carry out activities, and through continuous missions, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Brigade of the Third Cavalry Legion who followed Elsa retired were transformed from imperial soldiers to mercenaries who took money to do things.

And part of them, was ordered by Qin Shouzhuo to go to the south of the empire, Princess Sophia's fiefdom to find resources, to make advance preparations for the next stage of development, that iron mine was discovered by this team, this is really a huge surprise, from the discovery of that iron mine, Qin Shouzhuo decided the next stage of key development work. And the baron was given the opportunity to choose his territory at will, and he did not hesitate to take the opportunity from heaven, and Qin Shouzhuo decisively took that area.

From the day that the mine was discovered, that team had been exploring the terrain and products around the mine, and this action reached its peak after Qin Shouzhuo truly became the lord of that barren mountainous area. A large amount of topographic data was made into a dossier, and only by waiting for Qin Shouzhuo's arrival, a detailed development plan could be formulated.

Coupled with the two large arms sales orders after returning, the Shiweitian Group under the control of Qin Shouzhuo prepared a first-phase fund of 30 million silver coins for this industrial development project, and the total investment of the follow-up plan reached 300 million silver coins, which was equivalent to six times the annual income of the Lawrence Imperial Government, which made the emperor who got the news stunned on the spot.

Such a large amount of territorial investment made people surprised by Qin Shouchuang's financial resources on the one hand, and Qin Shouzhuo's stupidity on the other. You must know that this is not a family business that can be passed on to future generations, it is just a generation's territory, and the empire will be recovered after Qin Shouzhuo's death, and if you have the money to invest in the territory, it is better to save it and leave it to your son.

In response to the outside world's questioning, Qin Shouzhuo just smiled casually, did not respond, and could not respond, could he reply: "Lao Tzu is the man who wants to become the king of Lawrence"? Tomorrow, the counterinsurgency army will be able to surround the Imperial University!

The whole Babia region is located in the remnants of the Daba Mountain, and 70% of the area is mountainous, but the land is barren, the vegetation is sparse, and the conditions for the development of agriculture or forestry are very poor. On the Daba Mountain, the Babia River flows through the middle, the water is abundant, there are often flash floods in summer, the natural conditions are extremely poor, the poorest place in the Pavel Province, not only can the empire not get taxes from here, but also has to pay funds every year to help the poor.

When it was first rumored that Qin Shouzhuo had chosen the Babia region as his territory, there were also rumors that the empire was not kind and unwilling to grant the territory, so he took such the worst piece of land out to send Qin Shouzhuo away, and they all expressed sympathy for Qin Shouzhuo. The nobles who were jealous of Qin Shouzhuo's ability to grant the territory before are not jealous now, after all, with such a piece of land, it is better to take some real benefits and become a court nobleman with peace of mind.

Later, when he learned that Qin Shouzhuo could actually choose any territory, all that fell on Qin Shouzhuo was only ridicule and schadenfreude.

No matter what others thought, Qin Shouzhuo was ready to go all out to develop his base. In order to meet the needs of the imperial capital and the Babia region to travel quickly, Qin Shouzhuo also took out the engine that was recovered from the wreckage of Katarina, assembled a new plane from wood, and roared over the imperial capital every week.

Qin Shou's rough development plan, if it is put in Blue Star, I am afraid that it will be necessary to organize an engineering team of tens of thousands of people to command all kinds of super-large construction machinery for ten years, but fortunately, there is a magical world here. Thousands of low-level mages were organized, and under the leadership of the middle and high-level mages that His Majesty had helped to find, they unleashed one large-scale and super-large magic after another, directly changing the terrain, the level of the level, the bulge that was to be raised.

A large number of silver coins were scattered, and the progress of the project was very fast, and the basic site leveling work was basically completed in less than a week. As soon as the land for the construction of the steel mill was leveled, the construction of the road leading to the iron ore mine began, and Qin Shouzhuo planned to build a small railway system to meet the huge production pressure.

With the help of magic, the site selection and development of the road progressed rapidly, all the way to the magic to open the way, the sparse trees along the way were filled, the whole rock was crushed, used to pave the road surface or something, and more than 30 kilometers of roadbed were prepared at once, and Qin Shouzhuo's steel-making electric furnace that remained in the back mountain of the Imperial University was at full capacity, making all kinds of large-scale equipment, especially the steel rails needed to pave the dozens of kilometers of roadbed.

Originally, of course, it was more convenient and scientific to build Qin Shouzhuo's magic smelting equipment on the construction site, but Qin Shouzhuo really couldn't leave the imperial capital for a long time, so he still chose the mountain behind the Imperial University as the production base, and the airship responsible for transportation could land directly in the lake behind the Imperial University for easy transportation.
