However, to solve the problem of furnace cover, the furnace body of the electric arc furnace also needs a steel shell to ensure strength, and the most lacking thing in the industrial park at this time is steel.

Under the influence of the industrial park, the price of steel in the imperial city has even soared from 16 silver mar to 20 silver mar, the price has increased by 25%, and even a few pounds and a dozen pounds of small batches of steel can only be purchased.

At this time, it is necessary to rely on the power of the business alliance to obtain the steel needed.

Xia Lin once again came to the Eastern District Longmian Palace, as the person who held the token of the imperial daughter, after the report, he soon met the imperial daughter Dorothea.

Because it was the afternoon, the royal daughter of Dorothea was having afternoon tea with three ladies from noble families, but this time not in the garden, but on the balcony of the Palazzo Antioch.

The garden outside is still picturesque even in late autumn, reflecting the four young girls in their youth on the balcony, which looks very leisurely.

"Gui'an, Sir Charing, we were talking about you!"

Seeing Xia Lin, the corner of Dorothy's mouth smiled and greeted with a reserved chin, it seemed that she was in a good mood, and following her gaze, Xia Lin saw a few "Imperial Capital Newspapers" placed on the side of the tea table.

It seems that they should be talking about the storyline of "Holy Grail War" just now, but they don't know what Queen Dorothea thinks of the Sun King in the story.

"Good afternoon, Her Royal Highness Queen Dorothea, and Miss Elsa, and two beautiful ladies!"

Xia Lin performed a mage salute to the four ladies.

"Sir Charlin, let me introduce you to these two ladies first!

This is Orantina Eugene, the fourth daughter of Viscount Gladstone Eugene, and this is Dale Elvie, the second daughter of Viscount Monroe Elvey!"

The corners of Princess Dorothea's mouth curled up with a graceful arc, introducing the members of this afternoon tea party to Xia Lin.

"Gui'an! Sir Charrain!"

"Gui'an! Are you Sir Charlene? My father told me about you, and your talent and wisdom are truly admirable!

Not only will you make delicious desserts, but even the Holy Grail War, which was serialized in the Imperial Capital Newspaper that you founded, is so much fun! And I'm so handsome......

Dale Elvi is a lovely girl with long blond hair and fair skin, but her personality looks a little different from her Barbie-like delicate face.

It was the first time they met, and she boldly sent Qiu Bo to Xia Lin, her blue eyes stared at Xia Lin's face without blinking, and two conspicuous blushes hung on her fair cheeks.

Xia Lin didn't expect that he would have fans, and he was still a girl, so he was a little surprised.

However, the teenage girl has just come out of the Lori period, and it is not within Xia Lin's range of interest, Xia Linquan is a little sister who is not very good-minded, and smiled vigorously:

"Hearing is not necessarily believing, Miss Dale, I don't think I deserve your affection!"

"Dale!"

Olantina, who was on the side, also pulled the hem of her companion's clothes a little embarrassed, reminding her not to be so nymphomaniac, while apologizing to Xia Lin euphemistically for her companion:

"I'm sorry, Sir Charlene, but Dale loves to read folklore tales and always yearns for the love depicted in them......

"Of course, I don't mind a beautiful girl bravely pursuing her love, not to mention that I interrupted the tea party of several ladies today, but I have some things that I need to ask Her Royal Highness for advice......

Xia Lin smiled, indicating that he didn't care about Del Elvie's abrupt expression, and looked at the princess Dorothea on the side.

"Is it something important?"

Taking a shallow sip of black tea, Queen Dorothea put down her teacup and asked.

"It's important to see the second phase of the construction plan for the Starblue Industrial Park!"

Xia Lin affirmed.

「……」

"Then please sit down and talk! The families here are all members of the Business Alliance, and there is nothing we can't say."

Queen Dorothea thought for a while, saw that Olantina seemed to be a little embarrassed, and made a decision in order to take care of their feelings.

"Your Royal Highness, shall we observe such a big matter? Otherwise, let's both go for a walk in the garden!"

Leaving aside Daile, who was still a nymphomaniac, Orantina asked with some hesitation.

"No, although you don't usually care much about family affairs, since you're here, bring this news to your father! They'll know how to do it!"

Princess Dorothea shook her head, and Xia Lin saw that she had no intention of changing her mind, so she sat down and took out a stack of papers from her satchel, which was the second phase of his industrial park construction plan.

"Your Royal Highness, this is the plan for the second phase of the construction of the industrial park, in the second phase, I am preparing to build six factories: a caustic soda plant, a soap factory, a steel mill, a steel processing plant, a machining plant, and a distillery.

Through this phase of construction, we will be able to obtain caustic soda, soap, steel, machinery and wine, which will further increase the profitability of the industrial park."

"Distillery?"

The princess listened carefully to Xia Lin's words, but when she heard about the winery, she frowned:

"Although the profit of sake brewing is very high, and I am not against small-scale winemaking, but in your style, it must be produced in hundreds of barrels, how much grain does that cost?

For the sake of food stability, I think it's better not to open a brewery, or wait until there is enough food! Unless you're going to make fruit wine."

"Your Royal Highness doesn't have to worry about this, because the brewery I opened did not use grain as a raw material for sake brewing, but used molasses left over from the production of white sugar as a raw material.

The result is not ale or spirits, but a sweet and fragrant "rum", which has not yet appeared in the market, and I believe that there will be a good market, and at the same time, it will be able to consume the molasses produced by the sugar factory."

Xia Lin didn't expect the Dorothea princess to be so disgusted with the brewing industry, and explained with some surprise.

"Rum? Is this a new way of making wine that you've found?"

Princess Dorothea looked at Xia Lin with some strange looks and sighed:

"Sir Charlin, who are you, and why do you know so much knowledge that even I have never heard of?"

"It's very simple, Your Highness the Imperial Lady, as long as you look and ask more questions, and think a lot, with our mage's intelligence, we will be able to quickly grasp the essence of many things.

These inventions of mine are based on these foundations.

And knowledge does not have to be learned from others, our lives and the nature around us are the best teachers.

As long as we have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering and observing, a brain that can summarize thinking, and a set of logical and clear scientific thinking, we can discover the essence hidden under the surface of things, and these essences are actually the knowledge we need.

For example, there is a question, Your Royal Highness Dorothy, do you know why apples fall from trees?"

Hearing Her Royal Highness's questioning words, Xia Lin explained calmly.

As early as when he started the industrial park, he realized that his anomaly would definitely be noticed by many keen people.

However, he has long been prepared, that is, through benefit sharing, he will unite all those who can be united, and build an alliance of interests to resist the doubts of the outside world.

For a person who can make a big cake, no group will resist, and for the members within the alliance, Xia Lin only needs to come up with some far-fetched but enough arguments for them to convince themselves, such as his own unique way of thinking, and the wisdom of a mage, etc.

Because people will always believe what they want to believe, Xia Lin is not worried about what will go wrong with this method until his role is not lost.

"Why did the apple fall from the tree?

Because the apple is ripe, it has to fall, right?"

Elsa on the side interjected with a strange face, not knowing the significance of Xia Lin's question.
