Chapter 90: The Torture of the Blast Furnace

Blast furnace?

The dragon girl said that she had never heard of it, and she couldn't tell the difference between what the demons were building in the mountains every day.

But if it can be used to torture dragon hunters, it's a useful thing.

"Yu also wants to see it, and bring Yu to see it too!" The silver dragon was now curious about everything, "How hot can your little stove be?"

Is coke, gas, offerings, and all sorts of accelerants, as well as magic and fire demons, really not hot enough?

However, the dragon hunters were not immediately sent to the blast furnace, they were first confined, and for three days they suffered from hunger, sleepiness, and claustrophobia, and their minds and bodies were weakened to the point of being unsupportable.

It's not that Vincent wants to starve to death and trap them, food and sleep are still allowed, it's just that under the curse of the demons, no matter how much you eat, you won't feel full, and you will fall into the nightmare effect of the nightmare beast when you sleep, and all kinds of imperceptible curses are all around.

Some hypocritical demons are like this, they are abused, but they are not explicitly abused, which means that there is no abuse.

At least the dragon hunter himself didn't know what was going on, and just thought his injuries were getting worse.

The reason for this is not only to reduce their will to resist, but also because the blast furnace has not yet been opened after it has been built, and the time required for baking, loading and ignition after the inspection is completed.

It took a lot of effort for Vincent to keep the thirty-meter-tall creature running, and he had been busy since he came out of the dragon's den in order to get back the time that Ninia had wasted since she was kidnapped by the dragon, and he didn't have time to take care of the poor dressed dolls.

The materials and tools were insufficient, so Vincent rubbed a bunch of them directly with the reinforcement, which barely caught up with the construction progress, and used the reinforcement value every day.

Fortunately, due to the recent increase in the protection value and the recovery speed, the blast furnace was still put into use on schedule, and even a little ahead of schedule.

There are also incentives for industrial construction, but Vincent found that the rewards of craftsmen for heavy industry seem to be linked to output.

This is understandable, after all, facilities that do not produce are decorations, so accelerating production and stabilizing production is a top priority.

The magician blasted the air to test the tightness, and the oven took less than a day, layering coking powder, tar, finely crushed wood and coke, allowing the plasma fire demon to find a good hiding place inside, and by the third day, the fire was directly lit.

On the fifth day, the dragon hunters saw the demon blast furnace, where a group of undead creatures and dwarven furnace workers were stirring and pulling out the waste from under the stove with long iron bars, reminding them of the oven when the demon wanted to barbecue human flesh.

However, the temperature of the oven was still too low, and after seeing the temperature of the molten iron, they knew how terrible the demon's furnace was.

The one who popularized science for them was a red-haired beauty, who belonged to the type of temptation that men felt unapproachable because of their cold intellect when they saw it, but their hearts were as if they were lit with a flame.

"Have you ever seen lava? It's very common near the Dragon's Lair, but the temperature of lava is much lower than that of molten iron, and the Lord said that the temperature of molten iron is more than 1,500 temperature units." Wearing a magician's uniform similar to a work uniform, the graceful Grand Magician La Niña gave a science popularization to the witchers, "Because we pay great attention to safe production and minimize the number of furnace workers other than undead creatures, our blast furnace has not had a safety accident."

After saying that, the Grand Mage glanced at the witcher captives with the serious gaze peculiar to technomaniacs, which did not look like a joke at all, and then asked with a smile:

"Aren't you interested in contributing to the territory's metal smelting business?"

The demon hunters really felt a cold feeling of being watched by the demons, and they were so frightened that they couldn't even subconsciously shake their heads.

Do all demons want to use people to smelt iron?

The Great and Small Flame Demon poked his head out of the blast furnace vent and chimney, and looked at them with a look of delight in anticipation of feasting—for them, burning anything could get heat.

"That

I'm so thankful that I just died." Although the one-eyed leader's hands were shaking, he thanked him stiffly, "It's not torture."

"Torture is not just about how painful it is, it's about how helpless it is." La Niña said, "Actually, you shouldn't die in the first two seconds of a person's fall, because a protective layer will form between the water and the molten iron in the human body, which will temporarily stop the transfer of heat, and after a long and frightening two seconds, your body will come into contact with the molten iron, and death will really come at this time."

As he spoke, the undead on the side moved out of the clock, which was still a new product with a second hand, and compared to those big customers who had made a deposit but couldn't wait for the old model, the dragon hunters were a blessing.

"See? Two seconds is the time it takes for this long needle to move two squares." La Niña's slender fingers moved with the second hand, and her voice became more and more gentle, "In these two seconds, all the suffering and happiness in the world will leave you, so hurry up and reminisce."

Looking at the unwavering rhythm of the second hand, someone was already scared to pee.

That's too short.

"After two seconds, the water evaporates, and your body will come into direct contact with the molten iron, at which point the human skin and muscle tissue will instantly carbonize, enter the molten iron, and the remaining ingredients will turn into a wisp of green smoke, bidding farewell to this world."

As she spoke, La Nina stroked the body of a skeleton soldier beside her, her hand running over the pale bones, her posture so graceful and dignified, as calm as when she was in the laboratory.

"The bones of the human body are the hardest, perhaps harder than your mouth, because the bones of the human body are mainly composed of organic matter such as bone glue and inorganic salts, when the temperature reaches 100 degrees, the bones will turn yellow, more than 400 degrees, the bones will turn black, more than 800 degrees, the bones will decompose, at the high temperature of 1700 degrees of molten iron, the hardest bones will quickly turn into a pile of gray-white crystals and impurities, which will last for three seconds, and then you will have no trace in the world."

"It doesn't have to be painful, because no one can describe it, but your lord can be gracious enough to let a part of your body experiment first." La Niña asked the dragon hunters, "Who is the bravest person who would be willing to pay the price of an arm or a leg to provide the results of an experiment?"

Without waiting for the dragon hunters to answer, several of the undead began to push the one-eyed leader towards the blast furnace.

Seeing that it was the head of the regiment who was sent first, the eyes of the others showed a look of relief and joy.

"Stop! Stop!" The leader let out a howl that was completely inaudible, "Don't burn my hands, I say, I say, don't let me pass!"

"You know what I want, so don't play tricks." Vincent pointed to the distance and asked the leader to look at another construction site, "The molten steel in the furnace over there is hotter than the molten iron."

The honor and professional ethics of the dragon hunter collapsed after being maintained in front of the blast furnace for five minutes, which is the application and promotion of demon technology in various fields.

"Say, Who is the customer?" Vincent asked, "This is the last chance, my furnace is running out of fuel!"

"Yes...... It's Gasni, the Grand Magician of Herod, the owner of the Yellow Towers of the High Court of Magic, and his disciples and students......" The leader wailed as he was very close to the furnace, "They need dragons to do research, mainly them, and the others are small patrons......

Hey? Vincent's interest was instantly aroused.

How could this archmage, who had broken off the Sweet Water River and recently engaged in desertification development in the dense forests of the West, think of buying dragons again?
