The greatest wealth that the magical plane brought to Monterodev was the large number of craftsmen under the command of the nobles, but these main players who promoted the development of industry were scattered all over the country and did not fall under his control.

In the first year, the victory in the war against the southern barbarians showed him the power of mages, but on average, only one person with magical talent can be produced out of thousands of people, and the number of mages is too small compared to the general public who do not have any extraordinary powers.

After the battle, he excluded the mages from the group that needed to be united.

The victory in the war gave Monterodev a great deal of prestige in Antia, and he asked for one hundred and twenty blacksmiths when the duke rewarded him.

It is extremely difficult for this group of blacksmiths, who produce in a small workshop mode, to share the recipe at the bottom of their box with their peers. Here Montrodev used his privileges as a nobleman, and under the pressure of power and money, the blacksmiths finally began to exchange ideas with each other.

There were two ways to make steel, the crucible method and the converter steelmaking method, the latter of which had higher requirements for tool steel. His group of blacksmiths who did not have industrial standards were not able to handle the modern production mode for a while, and there was no acidic or alkaline gas blowing on the bottom of the converter, so the crucible method became the first choice for steelmaking.

This steelmaking method itself is not complicated, and the production of high-temperature crucibles is at the heart of the technology.

The crucible is heated by incandescent coke in a crucible furnace, which is subsequently removed and the molten steel is injected into the casting mold to form the ingot.

Due to the cumbersome approval process of feudal times, and the fact that Antia was the size of all of South America, the blacksmiths from the capital were delayed for three months on the road, and it was not until the end of the first year that Monterodev erected the first heat-resistant clay crucible.

Compared with the technology that requires forging for many days to make wrought iron, this method of outflow molten steel pouring and molding directly led the entire continent for hundreds of years.

However, there will always be various difficulties in developing from scratch, and none of the three of them have experienced the era of the Industrial Revolution, and the knowledge gained from books always needs to be combined with reality.

The world's coal seems to have been deleted by order, and in 360,000 square kilometers of land, there is only one coal mine with reserves of about 200 million tons.

The amount that can be dug in ten days on his timeline has now become the lifeblood of industrial development, and if you can't find a coal mine on the road to expansion in the future, you will have to burn wood.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of iron ore resources in the territory, and the entire steel plant can produce nearly ten tons of steel a month. This kind of output, in the context of sporadic distribution of small workshops and production in the form of receiving orders, has undoubtedly beaten all kinds of iron-making workshops on the mainland.

The first qualified steel was stamped by a hydraulic forging press to make the first steel pipes, and the arrival of the flintlock pistol finally announced the end of the aristocracy under Montrodev.

The existence of transcendents in the magical plane naturally gave birth to two classes.

If the ordinary people from the bottom want to achieve class leapfrogging, they can only hope for the awakening of one in ten thousand, and the magical talent is the only voice in the world.

Of course, there is no shortage of geniuses born in the history of 10,000 years, and the aspiring young man who started from the common people is talented, and when the boy overcame all the obstacles and finally stood at the top of the continent, he found that he was surrounded by the former powerful and transcendent, and the boy who was the dragon slayer finally took over the crown of the evil dragon.

The 10,000-year history of the Owen continent proves that top-down change cannot succeed, and the drama of power change in the past 10,000 years is nothing more than the emperor taking turns to do it, and the family will always pass it on.

The king who rules the continent by relying on the extraordinary power of magic will eventually become a vassal of magic, and magic has created a boy and made him the apex of the world, so the new king will naturally not give up the cornerstone of his world domination.

The power of magic is like a shackle, locking the continent of Owen for a whole ten thousand years.

The concept of the transcendent is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and no one has ever shouted that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, because here, the prince will really have a kind.

"I'm not trying to have a cult of personality, it's just that it's hard to change the idea that my land is the land of the nobility in a short period of time."

"And if you want to put mages on an equal footing with ordinary people, the only way to increase the overall productivity of ordinary people in your territory is to increase them."

While introducing the development of the territory, Monterodev also mentioned by the way what the future should be.

"No two countries have ever had the same path to change, not on Earth, let alone in this magical world."

Minako was making additions on the side, telling Gu Guo about her future plans.

"There is still half a year before the duke's ultimatum, and you also know how long it takes to gather vassals for large-scale operations in the feudal era, the three thousand kilometers from the south of the capital of Antia to our place, and the military order from the transmission of the whole country to the unified attack, at least two years."

"But even if we have two and a half years, we still can't compete with the regular army in the whole of Antia."

Gu Guo asked, "You mean that after half a year, we will give in to the duke?"

Montrodev and Minako nodded at the same time, and Minako said: "Don't forget, our current identity is transcendent, and since ancient times, the nobles have always rebelled upwards for their own interests, and their butts will not betray their heads."

"We give in to the Duke, who only feels that Montrogev is wantonly encroaching on the domains of his vassals, as is often the case among the nobles. and not to think that we have betrayed our class. ”

However, Gu Guo retorted: "But the duke's appeal is for us to return the land and disband the army, you must know that without armed forces, we are not the opponent of the mage group." ”

Monterodev replied: "The land is our bottom line, and it can be tied to the skin for a long time, and as for the disbandment of the firearms army, as long as I hide this group of people in the mountains, will there be a mage who deigns to go to the private place of a great magister to find out?" ”

"To this day, our annual steel production is only 500 tons, literacy education and basic education are just taking shape, and I think you know the strength of our enemy better than the two of us."

"We need time to develop, and besides, the enemy time-traveler is likely to have descended to the magical plane, and our series of actions are already ahead of this era, I believe they are not fools to figure this out."

Gu Guo swallowed the last sushi, and now his mood was not as relaxed as the meeting of the three of them, on the contrary, a series of actions by Monterodev directly led the hatred of the reincarnators to this land.
