Chapter 55 Moving Bricks

The demon lord has moved bricks!

This alarmed the sleeping old chieftain Demara, who was so frightened that he quickly got up from his bed, and had him run to the side of the cave on the hillside, where he saw Vincent working with the dwarven potters and the craftsmen he had brought with him.

Obviously able to use magic to carry it, he also does it himself, although there is a suspicion of political showmanship, but no one has ever seen a nobleman use a few hundred bricks to put on a show.

Commoners really don't trust the nobles, let alone the demons, but they eat this.

I have to say that the lord's hobbies are too niche and his posture is too humble, so he can't fix Di Mara at once.

"Labor is glorious, and the lord cannot enjoy the fruits of labor without appreciating the hardships of labor." Vincent said to the ignorant Dimara, "Everyone's job is good, and the bricks are good."

Faced with his fellow clansmen full of joy and admiration, as well as a group of skeletons moving bricks, Di Mara was speechless for a while.

In fact, Vincent can use the protection to make refractory bricks, if you click on the "Refractory Earth and Stone Mining Skill" and "Refractory Material Crafting Skill" to upgrade it to a certain level, you can definitely directly rub the refractory bricks by hand.

However, this approach can only be a stopgap measure, and to some extent, it is extremely lacking in the sense of gain.

Another important reason is that Vincent doesn't plan to consume too much protection, he has more things to rub, such as rubbing a lot of equipment for various purposes for the dwarves in the workshop during the day.

Whether it is a manual lathe, boring machine, drilling machine, milling machine, grinding machine, slotting machine, broaching machine, sawing machine or all kinds of rolling machinery, are well received by the dwarves, these Vincent has long been in the Silver Dragon Fort everywhere to promote the sale of equipment, not only multi-purpose, but also simple and reliable, simply the gospel of the producer.

Of course, these are all non-sale items with the "Craftsman Deed Seal", and the important parts will be scrapped when they are disassembled.

Now, in the dwarven community, everyone has regarded the lord as a doppelganger of the craftsman god, the projection on the ground, and the manifestation of divine power, all of them have sworn allegiance to the lord and are proud to be the apostle of the craftsman god.

Not only do the dwarves like these devices, but so do the craftsmen themselves.

Of course, the craftsman god Kafftus will be very happy because of this, and the protection value will roll in, but this will not only increase the upper limit of the protection value, but also consume a lot of the available protection value for the day.

At least until noon tomorrow, Vincent won't even have enough protection value for hand-rubbing bricks.

Making refractory bricks is not a special skill, whether it is a dwarf or a Terran craftsman, it is enough to master, and Vincent does not plan to overstep the bounds.

There were probably more than 800 refractory bricks and weighing less than 4,000 pounds, and Vincent decided to use these materials for the renovation and repair of the kiln, using some on the kiln body and the roof of the kiln, and using other masonry to raise the chimney higher.

The word of the lord himself burning the kiln and moving the bricks spread throughout the town the next day, and this kind of hard-working and friendly lord was really very much of everyone's appetite, and it was more pleasing than the equipment and techniques he gave away.

"Hasn't the Lord always been like this?" Ninia was helpless at the rarity of the dwarves, "In Silver Dragon Castle, everyone knows who he is."

However, the lord himself went to move bricks in the middle of the night and didn't call her, which made Ninia a little stunned.

Recently, she has become more and more fond of staying by the lord's side, obviously she used to shiver when she saw him, and whenever she felt the strong chaotic aura on Vincent's body, Ninia felt a sense of peace and relaxation, and she could also perceive that her light power was visibly growing stronger with the naked eye.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had the heavy responsibility of suppressing bandits, I really didn't want to leave him......

This experiment has proved that the dwarves have the ability to make brick kilns and burn bricks, but the existing production methods are still insufficient for the production of high-temperature resistant refractories, so the brick kilns in the town should also be transformed accordingly.

First of all, the material needs to be improved first.

In particular, the high-temperature resistant clay bricks and high-alumina bricks have a high temperature resistance of 2000 degrees, which not only has strong compression, bending, erosion and erosion resistance, but also has good thermal conductivity, and is easy to hang slag, which is an indispensable part of the main body of the blast furnace

Whether it is the construction of a blast furnace or the refurbishment and maintenance, these materials are indispensable.

Part of the material for the production of clay bricks was transported from outside the mountains, which was a good material rich in aluminum, which was more suitable for the production of refractory clay bricks than the soil in the mountains.

Because of these materials, the once barren village is now completely transformed, and the villagers live a good life by collecting clay, calcining, crushing, sifting and ingredients, and every household smiles every day.

From then on, they did not have to pay for food, but only had to pay for the product, and the lord would buy the goods beyond the tax amount.

Of course, the lord Vincent did not take advantage of the low human rights and low awareness of this era to treat the ignorant lords as consumables, he calcined, crushed, and crushed the skeletons in the village, and also distributed slime adsorption masks to the workers, so as to prevent the people from becoming pneumoconiosis due to a large amount of dust.

The calcined clinker was mixed with clay, and then mixed into a mud by adding a chemical solvent kept secret by the lord, and the mixing method was a combination of manual and mechanical, and a water-driven mill was set up by the river, and when the villagers rested, the skeleton soldiers were used to stir it overnight.

The next step is the mud brick molding, which is put into the enlarged wood mold according to the possible shrinkage size according to the ratio of clinker, clay and moisture, so as to ensure that the size can still reach the standard after drying.

Although the efficiency and quality of artificial brick making are not satisfactory, Vincent has only had time to get the hydraulic extruder, and the rest of the process is still processed by human and animal power using the principle of levers.

After the mud brick is demolded, it is the drying link, and the mud brick should be dried in the sun, but this time is long, and the drying effect is also unstable.

The lord took a shortcut through magic, not only building a drying bed, but also asking the Mage Guild to send a few magic apprentices to use fire magic and wind magic to quickly dry in the built drying tunnel, and the drying effect is already very ideal.

Everything was done according to the rules, and with the support and personal guidance of the lord, the craftsmen and craftsmen who came down the mountain quickly adapted to the environment and taught the locals how to complete the various processes.

Next is the most important kiln loading and brick firing link, due to the successful experience of firing in many places, the kiln is the key to placement and temperature control have ready-made skilled craftsmen and technical support, so this time Vincent has already found several kiln masters in the territory, let them continue to guide the firing work in the town.

Compared to the high temperature required for ironmaking, refractory bricks are not so exaggerated. When the temperature reaches about 900 degrees, the brick enters the sintering stage, the heating of this stage is very critical, the fire is stopped at the temperature of about 1300 degrees, and the kiln is ready to be opened after holding for a certain time, and then it enters the insulation stage.

The temperature drops to 700 degrees, and the wind magic comes in, which lowers the temperature in the kiln, accelerates the cooling effect, and finally when the bricks are still hot, the skeletons wearing gloves and shoes begin to enter to move the bricks.

Throughout the process, Vincent used a special mode of combining technology and magic, which not only played the role of a craftsman, but also allowed the usually high-ranking magician to participate in the labor, achieving the effect that one plus one is greater than two.

The process uses a large number of Vincennes hand-rubbed equipment parts, some of which exceed the processing capacity of the current era, and are perfectly embedded in the process, which can neither be replaced nor imitated, which is the means of Vincent's control technology and the acquisition of the belief of the craftsman.

In particular, the "Ode to the Craftsman" recited by the craftsmen in unison before each kiln firing is full of rituals, and people have subtly regarded it as a natural habit over time.

Now, this process has come to the Howling Mountains, and it is quickly accepted by the dwarves who claim to be believers in the craftsman gods.
