The moon hangs high, and the dark blue night sky that looks like a velvet cloth is dotted with stars, and the sky, which has not been polluted by industrialization, looks exceptionally clean.

Although the Tayman Islands are not rich in natural resources.

But even if you go through the entire Bantaan archipelago with thousands of islands, it's one of the most scenic holiday destinations.

Catherine and Violet met late, and if it weren't for Byron's presence, they would have continued to sleep and talk at night.

And Byron had eaten dinner with them with some food on the front foot.

On the back foot, Catherine was kicked out of the Doge's Palace, urging him to work hard with his like-minded girlfriends and hurry up to get back to Riptide Fortress to start work.

Walking with Violet on the white sand in the moonlight, Byron's head hadn't turned much of a corner, and things would eventually turn out to be the way it was.

"What are you doing? Quick, I'll carry my shoes for my sister. ”

Byron looked down to see that Violet had already taken off her high heels and stepped barefoot on the white sand, leaving a series of small and delicate footprints.

As soon as he took two steps, he hooked his fingers on the slender lace of his high heels and handed it to him, giving orders proudly.

Under the shroud of the Golden Law, only Byron has higher authority than Catherine, and only by his side can Catherine's perception be shielded.

No one else saw it, and Violet immediately took off her disguise and returned to her original appearance.

Seeing Byron stunned, Violet couldn't help but pursed her light cherry lips:

"What's wrong? Didn't you hear what my best friend Catherine said, do you want to treat me with the same attitude as she treats her in the future?

I've become her 'confidant' now.

And didn't we make a bet that if I could put things right, you'd call me three good sisters.

Little Byron, recognize the reality, in this family, you have lost one.

Do you still want to deny it? ”

Byron said secretly in his heart:

"It's hard to say whether you're a henchman or a henchman who has emptied her purse."

It's just that people can't stand without faith, and he saw that there was no one left and right, so he could only cough, and shouted softly unnaturally:

"Good sister."

Although he didn't know if it was his brother's job duty, he still took the pair of high heels with kindness.

Violet immediately smiled, and a pair of sapphire eyes were laughing like crescents:

"Haha, that's good.

In the past, his mother, who was a witch, disappeared when he returned to the Old World to visit relatives, and his father went to sea all day for his dream of 'whale hunting'.

There is no one of the same age and status in the entire Iron Anchor Bay.

When I'm home alone, in addition to reading, what I hope most is to have a younger brother and sister to play.

In the future, my sister will cover you, and I will leave you a copy of good things, giggles."

Obviously, the princess of the Wanmin did not have a very happy childhood.

Although she only picked up half of her used brother from someone else, this person was Byron, which naturally made her very happy.

The "Orphan Alliance" of the two went one step further.

Of course, no one knows if there are any other thoughts of the girl.

The girl bounced on the beach with her skirt in her hand, and the laughter like silver bells echoed far away on the beach.

It was only at this time that a girl of this age was shown to be a little innocent.

When passing by two tall coconut trees, he pulled Byron's sleeve again and said coquettishly:

"Byron, sister, this is the first time I have come to the tropics, and when I see a green coconut hanging on a tree, I want to drink coconut water."

After Byron accepted his new position, he had the first sister, and the rest of the psychological barrier was gone.

These things have been done with Catherine anyway, one sheep is to drive, and two sheep are also herded.

Raising his hand, a strong wind summoned two coconuts from the tree, and his fingertips made two small holes in the hard coconut shells.

Hand one to Violet and one for herself.

The two drank coconut juice and strolled on the beach, becoming more and more vacation-like.

The moonlight is like water, and the weather is neither hot nor cold.

From time to time, you can see crabs the size of millstones running rampant on the beach, and turtles larger than horse-drawn carts pass by, leaving a long ravine

A red starfish stranded on the beach is the size of a small sampan

Everything makes Violet, who has just arrived in the Bantaan Islands, very new.

The farther she walked on the transcendent path of forbidden knowledge [Calamity Curse], the closer she felt to the sea.

In particular, the second sublimation ritual in the next step will allow her to transform into an inhuman transcendent species, gaining the ability to transform into three aquatic monsters.

'The Forbidden Book says that what will become is completely random, and there are hundreds of recorded monsters and otherworldly beings alone.

Among them, the image of [Mermaid] is okay, and the humanoid monster that sings in the storm like [Eagle Siren] is barely acceptable.

But if it's random to other weird things'

Subconsciously glanced at Byron beside him.

Maybe it's not so easy to accept. ’

Noticing that the girl was quietly watching her, Byron touched her cheek, thinking that there was something on her face.

"What's wrong?"

Of course, it was impossible for the girl's mind to speak, and Violet changed the subject lightly:

"It's okay, I just feel like the farther away from the Old World, the farther away the ecosystem is from the real world, the closer it is to mythology.

In the Old World, creatures of this size were rare.

I don't know what the unknown world my father will go to after leaving the Bantaan Islands? ”

Hearing this, Byron thought that she was thinking about things, and hurriedly comforted:

"My insider [Fat Dragon] is inside the Barbary Pirates to find out what happened when the two Pirate Kings met.

It's really not good, when our strength is a little stronger, we will go directly to the door and ask the [blue-haired] Barbarossa Hairing who is suspected of being a fourth-order hero.

At the beginning, he was raided by the Governor of Havana with a large number of elite third-order jumping gangs, and I heard that he was also cut off an arm, and I don't know if he took it back. ”

Violet's heart warmed, knowing that although Byron was cold to his enemies, he was extremely reliable to his own people, and never said big things.

Even the cakes drawn by his subordinates are not finished like others, but they are really good at branding.

I couldn't help tiptoe and patted him on the shoulder:

"Well, though, you're still a little too low in rank right now.

The simultaneous development of personal strength and external forces will not leave shortcomings.

In addition to the need to advance to the third order as soon as possible, our industrialization also requires a much greater primitive accumulation.

This is also the meaning of 'strong wins over hard work'.

After all, it is much better to be able to plunder others than to squeeze internally.

The future is bright, the road is tortuous, Mr. Byron, you still have to work hard to rob, no, to complete the primitive accumulation. ”

After speaking, he took Byron's hand and waved his little hand full of vitality:

"Let's go, let's go home and get to work. Rush Rush! ”

Byron nodded, pulled the girl into the sky, and sounded the horn as she was about to fall into the sea.

The large sea monster [Fiddler Crab], which has been reduced to an exclusive means of transportation, shakes its giant pincers and starts the "Deep Sea Jump", leading them back to Rapids

Violet is very quick to get into the working state.

After getting the key item No. 8 Crystal Skull [Quetzalcoatl], the speed is even faster.

Although the No. 8 Crystal Skull cannot be used for large-scale production, it can be used to process key production equipment on a small scale, regardless of the process.

Even if you are the crown jewel of some industry, as long as you give it the drawings, operating principles and raw materials, you can rub one out by hand.

On the second day back to Riptide Fortress.

An iron-making blast furnace that had been remotely demonstrated and revised countless times by the two of them had been turned from drawings into real objects, and was erected near the mine.

The whole is a steel-shelled shaft furnace with a circular cross-section.

The steel plate is used as the furnace shell, the shell is lined with refractory bricks, and the blast furnace body is divided into five parts: throat, furnace body, furnace waist, furnace belly and furnace cylinder from top to bottom.

The belly height is 7.5 meters, the cylinder diameter is 3.5 meters, the volume is 477 cubic meters, and the design capacity is 230 tons per day.

Byron could easily recall all the details he had seen in his previous life, but he never sought to understand these things out of interest.

If you want to make a real replica, you need the help of real professionals.

He told Violet what he could remember, and she used the ability of the Master Craftsman to analyze the principles.

The ability of the eighth crystal skeleton [Enlightening Morning Star: Light of Knowledge] is similar to her [Alchemy].

Boost each other and multiply your power.

This is what turns ideas into reality in a very short period of time.

"It's called professionalism!"

Looking at the black behemoth in front of him, Byron had to sigh.

The greatest use for yourself is to find various professionals to help you, and then be responsible for standing on the shoulders of giants and pointing fingers.

"Push the ingredients up and open the furnace!"

Violet wears a shirt and canvas cargo pants, and a pair of brown goggles on her face.

Just looking at the equipment shows professionalism, so that investors can feel very secure at a glance and feel the real value of the money.

Because coking is relatively simple, just let the coal be heated in the boiler furnace to more than 850C.

As the temperature rises, the organic matter in the coal decomposes, and after the volatile products escape, the remaining non-volatile products are coke.

Even before Violet's arrival, the corresponding coking equipment was in production, converting a steady stream of coal from the interior of the Yucatán into coke for ironmaking.

"Yes, open the furnace and feed it."

A group of very useful [Bear Spirit Warriors] moved when they heard the order.

Iron ore, coke, and limestone, the flux for slagmaking, are loaded from the top of the furnace, and preheated air is blown from eight air outlets located in the lower part of the furnace along the perimeter of the furnace.

The overall principle is to let the carbon in the coke and the oxygen in the air burn to produce carbon monoxide at high temperatures, and remove the oxygen in the iron ore during the rising process in the furnace, so as to reduce the iron to obtain iron.

The first furnace opening takes a particularly long time, and once the blast furnace is stable, it can be produced day and night.

The fire burned for three days and three nights before it finally reached the standard.

"Out of the molten iron."

With Violet's order, Byron, who was doing a good job of protecting his whole body by the iron-making blast furnace, personally picked up the iron hook and forcefully opened the door of the iron outlet.

Phew——!

A wave of heat that almost scorched the hair.

In the midst of the splash of iron, orange-red molten iron gushes out of the blast furnace and flows through the intermediate tank to slowly inject into the crystallizer cooled with water.

The molten iron is released from the iron mouth, and then the unreduced impurities in the iron ore and the flux such as limestone combine to form slag, which is discharged from the slag mouth.

The gas produced is discharged from the top of the furnace and used as fuel for hot blast stoves, heating furnaces, coke ovens, boilers, etc. after dust removal.

The pig iron ingots had just turned black and formed, and there was already a warm cheer among the onlookers, and everyone's faces were covered with a layer of red light.

"Oh——!"

"Ah, it's done!"

"Hahaha, it's really smelted, with this blast furnace, the huge consumption of inefficient charcoal ironmaking will eventually be completely swept into the garbage heap of history."

Byron directly used the logbook to read the parameters of the iron ingots produced by this furnace.

225 tons, enough to cast 64 3.5-pounder cannons weighing 32 tons!

Just when there was jubilation in the metallurgical plant.

The blast furnace also burst into golden light.

The epoch-making excellent production capacity has transformed this blast furnace into a powerful second-level holy relic in an instant-[Iron-smelting Blast Furnace]!
