Chapter 332

It was not until the Industrial Revolution that Western ironmaking technology achieved all-round advancement.

"Ding ding ding~"

The blacksmiths put the honeycomb iron on the anvil and performed the "random wind hammer method" one after another, first using a wooden hammer to smash out large pieces of spark-like impurities, and then using an iron hammer to smash them.

The three of them were almost exhausted, and they hadn't smashed it into shape yet, but the lord was watching from the side, and they didn't dare to slack off at all.

"Let me help, artifact, clever fox!" Gao Gris was kind-hearted, and seeing the blacksmiths panting, she immediately summoned the artifact to help.

With a flash of light, the clever fox puppet fell down, and two hammers stretched out from the left and right sides of the body, quickly and accurately hammering at the honeycomb iron, and finally knocked it into a gray-silver iron block, only slightly larger than a fist.

"Thank you, sir." The blacksmith hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Such a large honeycomb iron, so busy for so long, only to smelt such a little iron.

Field sighed. Three skilled laborers worked hard for a whole day just for such a small piece of iron. No wonder weapons and armor are so expensive. The cost is too high.

If you want to make equipment, you have to forge iron. This is another long process. A set of ordinary armor takes a blacksmith a whole year to make.

After thinking for a while, Gao Glis suggested: "Maybe, we can improve some steps."

"Oh? You can find the improvement point so quickly." Field raised his eyebrows: "Tell me about it."

He didn't rush to come up with a mature blast furnace design. He always gave his men some opportunities to use their brains.

"We can make the furnace bigger. Well, every time we smelt iron, we have to start from pinching the furnace. It's really hard." Gao Glis organized her words. She tried not to deny the blacksmith, fearing that she would make him angry. "You can use bricks to build a slightly larger blast furnace as the overall structure, and then just use mud to cover the inner wall to prevent the temperature from being too low."

"But, how do you get the iron out?" Iron Ingot asked boldly.

"Use a hook. We can use it to hook the iron block out from the top."

"Hiss~" The blacksmiths were stunned. After thinking about it, they exclaimed, "Why didn't I think of it."

"Well said. In this way, we can save the time of building and dismantling the furnace."

Field laughed and said, "Not only that, although charcoal has many functions, its composition is complex and uncontrollable, and the combustion temperature is only 800 degrees. It is better to use it with wrought iron to make steel."

"We can use coke to burn and limestone as a reducing agent. The blast can also be improved. It can be driven by a waterwheel or a steam engine instead of relying on people to blow. Well, the whole furnace is really too backward. It should have been a blast furnace, or a one-step method, crucible steelmaking."

As he spoke, Field found that everyone was silent.

They blinked their eyes one by one, dumbfounded.

Although they could understand every word the adults said, they had no idea what they were saying when they were put together.

"Although I don't understand, it feels so awesome."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"I accidentally talked too much again. Let's transform it according to Miss Gaoglis's instructions. It will take some time to design the drawings, and the materials are also lacking." Field sighed, "Industry is always a system. Without a foundation, everything is empty."

"Uh, sir, the blast furnace you mentioned, I have heard of the vertical furnace. In the Griffin Province, some great nobles of the empire, as well as some countries, have mastered this technology, and I have also heard of building larger furnaces."

It is estimated that the new technology has begun to spread, but the speed is not fast.

"Okay, I know, let's accumulate experience first. When I need you, I will notify you in advance."

After assigning the task.

Field didn't want to go to the city hall to work, so he went straight back to the backyard of Starry Night Castle.

"I'm lazy. I don't want to move recently."

Stretching, Field took the drawing board and charcoal pencil, intending to doodle for fun.

"Field, you can actually draw." Tisifa tucked the hair by her ears.

"No, I can't."

With a regretful sigh, Field showed the drawing board, and an abstract, even distorted cartoon dinosaur was pasted on the paper. Next to it is Tic-Tac-toe, and the products that Field happened to think of and recorded.

Tisifa couldn't hold back and laughed out loud: "Hahaha, sir, don't waste paper."

"Well, when the trees in Nightland grow longer, paper will be wholesale in the future."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Lying lazily on the chair, Field couldn't help but sigh: Entertainment in this era is so scarce. Apart from pulling carrots, there is almost no serious entertainment.

Bored, Field observed Tisifa. She went to a pot of rabbit ear flowers in the corner of the garden and sniffed the fragrance of the flowers. As if sensing that Field was looking at her, she looked back and smiled seductively, with peach blossoms in her eyes, like a wife with evil thoughts.

MatchingWith a bulging bunny, a slender waist, and leg rings that are full of elements, she is a vixen.

In comparison, Gao Gris doesn't look like a fox at all, this one does.

"Hey? Miss Alison, come and chat with me."

"I'm going to help Miss Wormwood bake bread, in the evening." Alison greeted from a distance.

"I haven't seen her for a long time. She's hanging out with those naughty kids."

Field was shocked. Alison has been depressed since she came to the Night Territory, as if she had jade syndrome.

"Yeah, I guess you've given up on men." After glaring at Field charmingly, Tisifa stepped forward, made a sword gesture with her hand, and threatened playfully, "Hehe, if you dare to hurt me, I will also give up, and I will give you a sword directly then."

"Hehe, little girl dares to threaten me, I have to discipline you today, otherwise you will dare to go to the roof and tear down the tiles tomorrow."

Field raised his hand and slapped her thigh, leaving a slightly red mark.

"Well, you!"

Tisifa was embarrassed and annoyed, and protested with a red face: "You are too ungentlemanly and immoral. If you do this again, I will..."

"So what?"

Field knew her thoughts very well. Gently pinching the flesh on her long legs, the smooth and silky touch made people feel good.

"You..."

"Roar? Still not convinced, you have a bad temper."

Field rolled up her waterfall-like long hair, along the bony collarbone, and directly soothed Tutu's emotions.

"Hmm..." Tisifa lost her temper instantly, shrank her neck, and didn't want to move like a quail.

"Okay, are you still giving up on me? Will you give me another sword? Actually, I can guarantee that I will be absolutely gentlemanly."

Field immediately withdrew his hand, and even saw the reluctance and grievance in Tisifa's eyes for a moment.

"No... I was just fooling around."

Tisifa opened her mouth, a little embarrassed, and wanted to blame Field, but she didn't hide just now. She knew that she liked the lord's overstepping behavior, but her reason made her resist, and her mind was full of twisted thoughts.
