After teaching the dwarves how to lay the foundation, and rubbing a large number of railroad tracks by hand, laying the foundation for the town's transportation light rail, the lord began the next step of the attack non-stop.

Although it only took a day, it seemed to many of the following dwarves that the town had changed dramatically with canals and light rail.

"The world will not stop waiting for us, and the construction of the territory must race against time." Vincent placed a pendulum clock brought from the city in the town's council hall, pointed to the watch and said, "Look at the time that goes by on it, time flies by, and man has to leave something in the world."

The dwarves may not have gotten used to the rhythm of their lord's work, but they knew very well how subtle this time-telling machine was.

The lord gave such a precious gift to the town, which was a great honor and a warning to Demara the "Heavy Hammer".

Although the old leader could not walk yet, he also let people push around every day, so that the tribesmen who were accustomed to the routine worked hard.

The lord wants to make steel, so he's in the right place.

Originally, compared to other races, dwarves had a first-mover advantage in this regard, but the technical requirements and output that Vincent expected were really too much for the dwarves to do.

When the dwarves showed Vincent the iron-making furnaces they were so proud of, and learned about the iron-making furnaces that were close to the houses, Vincent also learned about the amount of iron produced in this furnace.

"Up to 300 pounds at a time,......" Vincent's expression was very calm, "It takes half a day to smelt once, and two furnaces a day are produced, which is 600 pounds."

The dwarven blacksmiths nodded reluctantly, knowing that in fact they might not produce more than 600 pounds per furnace a day, which was ideal.

If it weren't for the fact that the bandits had forced everyone to work hard in the past two years, and had built a large number of new stoves, they would not have been able to scrape together the iron to make golems and weapons.

"Can you produce every day?" Vincent asked, "If each furnace can rotate every day, then the output is barely enough in other kingdoms."

The dwarves said that they could not do it—not because the dwarves were working badly, but because the supply of raw materials and fuel for the furnaces was unstable, and that it would soon be overhauled after a few months of continuous iron production, and it would take time to rebuild them.

Besides, the technical content of this furnace is not high, the efficiency is just like that, and the quality of ore and fuel is not high, so even if you let the undead creatures that don't sleep rotate continuously, the output will not go up.

In addition, the blacksmith furnace also used too much manpower, and the people who bare the wind used a lot of it, and the rest of the people used a lot of manpower.

Before, there was not enough water in the town, so it was impossible to use the method of hydraulic blowing, but now it can be considered.

"My lord, how much do you think the ideal yield will be?" Dimara could see that the lord was not satisfied, so he cautiously asked, "My people live in isolation, and it is helpless to be inferior to others, maybe the blacksmith outside is better......

"I have no intention of blaming you, but the local ironmaking technology is not backward, even surpassing many other races." Vincent told the truth, "For example, my clan's skills are not very good, and the main way to obtain iron tools is to grab ...... No, it should be said to be levied."

The demons swept across the continent, at least there was still a place to grab, the situation of the orcs in the north was even worse, and the elves in the dense forest even lived a primitive life, and they were simply farther away from the iron tools.

The Terrans fared a little better, but the reason for their huge production was not due to advanced technology, but to a larger population base and extensive technological exchange.

However, while many Terran blacksmiths were still using makeshift iron-making furnaces and charcoal to smelt iron, using leather bags to blast and laboriously heat the hearth, the dwarves had already used their ingenuity to build large, stationary shaft furnaces, which produced iron in large quantities by smelting iron in blocks.

Five hundred years ago, when the dwarves lived in the era of Dardin, the dwarves were able to produce a large number of legendary divine weapons and provide tools and equipment to various countries.

The magicians also took a fancy to this, so they teamed up with the dwarves to develop a unique golem weapon.

But

As the relationship between the dwarves and the mages broke down, the dwarves became the targets of expulsion from their seats due to their lack of influence in various countries, and after hundreds of years of displacement, they lost most of their raw materials and their technology stagnated.

"Although you have worked hard to preserve the spark of technology, the territory is now facing a complex international situation, and if you want to protect yourself and grow stronger, you cannot do without the progress of heavy industry." Vincent said to the dwarves, "A few hundred pounds of iron in an iron furnace is absolutely insufficient, but the iron output of a small town must be at least more than 100,000 pounds a day."

"100,000?" Demara was dumbfounded, "Isn't this the time you can make a golem in a month?"

Is 100,000 a lot? If you consider the need for further steelmaking, this amount of molten iron is even more insufficient.

What's the use of a stupid big black and thick golem, there are many places where the territory needs steel.

"The lack of iron production is not only due to the lack of iron-making furnace technology," Vincent began to draw a sketch on the ground, "As a steel production consortium, the entire steel industry chain needs to be guaranteed from upstream raw materials, energy, equipment, and downstream support such as downstream steelmaking, casting, rolling, and processing."

"First of all, whether it is steel or iron, as long as it requires high-temperature technology, it needs refractory materials to build," Vincent first drew a location, marking the location of the "Refractory Brick Workshop", "I have tried to build several workshops for the production of refractory materials in Silver Dragon Fort and Sweetwater Village, and the town also needs one."

"Increase the amount of coal, reduce the use of charcoal, and see what you have cut down the trees on this mountain," Vincent then drew a location with the words "Coking Workshop" on it, "We will make coke, and use coke to smelt iron ore."

"In order to obtain coke that is easier to burn, the coke must first be crushed, mixed and sintered to make small pieces that are easy to fill in the furnace." The lord drew another square on the front of the coking workshop, writing "Sintering Workshop", "Iron ore also needs to be sifted, processed and sintered."

"If you want to sinter ore, you have to store and screen the mines collected in the mines," Vincent drew another square further forward, writing "Concentrators", "We must maintain a certain amount of ore and coal reserves before we can continue to produce without interruption."

The lord was so eloquent that the dwarves nodded their heads so much that even Ninia and La Niña couldn't help but admire it, and they couldn't imagine where Vincent had learned this strange and profound knowledge.

As the supporting industrial chain extends upwards and becomes more and more complete, some blacksmiths also see the problem - the lord has not said anything about how to smelt iron for a long time!

"This is a hot blast stove for blasting...... Vincent explains in a hurry, "and only by constantly pouring hot air into the furnace can the furnace reach an unprecedented temperature."

"However, the existing stove is not suitable for coke and continuous blowing, right?" Kalul, who had been holding back the question in his heart, finally couldn't help it, interjected, "My lord, the stove you want, and the ...... we use. It shouldn't be the same, right?"

That's it! Vincent glanced at him and nodded in satisfaction.

"All the iron-making furnaces...... Well, we can all retire, and we will build the first real blast furnace on the mainland in the small town to produce the most molten iron."
