Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries

"The first time I met Her Royal Highness Anna was already blessed by the gods. I can't lead the team to such a dangerous place by myself this time."

"If my own territory is in danger, I, as a lord, should simply not go out." Gudern said lightly, and then softened his tone.

"Old Joseph, I know you are worried about me. Haven't I also awakened and become a magician?"

"And I was not prepared the first time I went out. I will be ready next time. Even if I encounter the orc scouts again, I will be confident to annihilate them."

But looking at Joseph who still looked unconvinced, Gooden thought for a while and continued.

"Remember the manganese steel I mentioned? This thing can create a special weapon. If everything goes well, it can be completed in two days."

"When the time comes, you'll see how powerful it is. If you think the orcs can withstand it, then I won't go."

"Okay." Old Joseph nodded happily this time.

"After making arrangements, remember to ask me to come with you to the brick factory to build the site. I have to give you some guidance."

"Okay." Old Joseph immediately began to arrange today's work.

Gudern went to the restaurant to solve the breakfast problem.

A bowl of hot soup and six steamed buns were his breakfast, but this breakfast did not go well.

"These are the people who communicated with Lord Gezier yesterday?"

Gudern took a bite of the bun and looked at the list of names handed over by the soldiers. There were six people in total.

"Yes, young master, we have verified these people through the testimony of many people in the tavern, and they have all interacted with each other."

Gudern did not expect that the other party's hand could be stretched so long and that he could bury so many spies in the town.

Although there may be a possibility of misjudgment among these six people, it can also be seen from the side that everyone is paying attention to every move of his predecessor.

"Okay, I understand, just leave these people alone for the time being."

"Yes, Master." The soldier who came to report caressed his chest and bowed before exiting the restaurant, leaving Gudern alone.

While eating breakfast slowly, Gooden began to think again about why the Charleson family wanted to kill him.

Is it just for a 'barren' territory?

Chapter 32 Properties of Manganese Steel

"Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. You will know why when we solve it."

After destroying the last bun, Gudern patted his belly with satisfaction and got up to start the day's work.

The brick kiln factory has already planned to start construction. Although some detailed design drawings have been produced, he still has to personally arrange the core kiln for firing bricks.

Back in the study, Gooden recalled some memories he had learned on TV in the past.

Then on the paper, I began to slowly outline a rough model.

There is nothing special about the kiln for burning paper bricks. It is just a matter of building a kiln the same size as a house and then filling it with fuel to heat up the paper bricks.

The appearance design is simple, but the design in details is not that simple.

Heating, controlling and maintaining heat in such a large kiln were all problems. Starting from scratch, Gooden could only move forward slowly.

After a while, Old Joseph's work was completed and he came to inspect the site of the kiln with Gudern.

The brick kiln factory is located in a wasteland four to five hundred meters southeast of the town. It is downwind of the town. The smoke emitted by the brick kiln factory after its establishment will not affect urban residents.

And Gudern also plans to build some heavy industrial plants in the future with this as the center.

At this moment, the workers recruited were cleaning the site with various tools. In addition, there was a small group of people piling up 'experimental samples' at the edge.

Gudern and Joseph headed straight towards this small group of people.

When everyone saw the arrival of the lord, they all saluted to show respect.

Gudern didn't care about this, waved his hand and asked casually.

“Is it difficult to build this scaled-down version?”

As soon as this was said, everyone began to speak out the questions in their minds.

"Lord, these three things to be built are too strange. They need to be big, insulated, and controlled. How can this be done?"

"Lord, why is it built in a circle and leaves such a long chimney? Aren't you afraid of temperature loss?"

…

The scene was extremely lively for a while, but Gudern was one of the top two and had to speak out again.

"Take it one by one, don't worry."

With the lord's words, everyone did not dare to argue anymore and began to raise their questions one by one.

Gudern was very patient in explaining every problem to everyone, and also personally guided the construction work.

Although it was only the construction of an experimental furnace, Gudern was still very serious.

The work of directing the construction of the furnace continued until noon.

It was the scorching sun in June, and Gudern's back was already soaked with sweat.

The other people working together were similar, but they had long been accustomed to the scorching sun and did not show any discomfort.

Gudern, who still wanted to stay for a while, was forced to return to the castle by the hot weather and his unsatisfactory stomach.

"Prepare some more water for Old Joseph and me to take a bath before eating. Cold water is enough, no need to heat it up."

Gudern said as he took the two glasses of water from Irene's hand, then used ice element magic to make ice water, and handed one of the glasses to Old Joseph.

After drinking the cold water, the hot summer air dissipated a lot in an instant.

"Phew...it feels so comfortable."

Joseph also sipped ice water and couldn't help but sigh at the convenience of magic.

Qingyuan Town is located in the north, close to the Yongshuang Mountains. It is much more convenient to get ice in the summer than in the Empire Center. Rooms where food is stored are kept cool all year round by ice.

But if you want to use these ice cubes, you can only get some by distinguished guests. After all, the cost of each collection is as high as tens of gold coins.

And in order to ensure the cooling effect of the cold storage, the ice must be replenished after a certain level of consumption.

The two chatted for a while, and when Irene came to tell them that the water was ready, Gooden went to take a cold shower.

After a quick lunch, Gudern started a new round of work.

My own small treasury is already in jeopardy, and coupled with the funds needed for several subsequent major projects, I have to hurry up and get some money.

When it comes to making money, Gooden already has a plan in mind - to auction manganese steel.

But before that, he had to build two samples, a plate armor and a long sword made of manganese steel.

If you have samples to test the performance, you will definitely be able to get a satisfactory price at auction.

Go to the laboratory, where Gudern has asked the maids to tidy up and decorate it.

Chairs, workbenches, and fireproof buckets have all been prepared.

And the manganese steel that was entrusted to the blacksmith shop for forging in the morning has been prepared. The finished manganese steel totals 26 kilograms.

Gooden plans to convert 20 kilograms of manganese steel into manganese steel ingots for auction. The manganese steel produced as samples will also be extracted from it and added to the auction after performance testing.

The steps to convert manganese steel into steel ingots are simple, but making plate armor and long swords is a little more difficult.

It was the first time to build such a thing, and Gudern was also very interested.

It took most of the afternoon to finish the two rough prototypes.

He knocked twice on the plate armor model, and the crisp metal response echoed in the room.

"Ding--"

Does it sound good? What sounds good means good equipment.

Gudern nodded with satisfaction, then called Old Joseph and brought his breastplate to test.

"Master, can this thing really block attacks?"

Joseph looked at the pitted original breastplate and couldn't help asking questions.

Gudern glanced at his work, his face didn't change much, at least he was stubborn.

"You'll know if you try it."

Old Joseph nodded, took out the prepared long sword and stabbed it with all his strength against the manganese steel breastplate.

Although Old Joseph is over fifty years old, as an awakened person, his physical fitness is no worse than that of young people.

"哐——"

But the blow bounced directly off the manganese steel breastplate without leaving any mark on the breastplate.

This made Old Joseph couldn't help but become interested, and curiously touched the location where he had just attacked.

"Master, this manganese steel is indeed quite capable. If you want to replace it with ordinary iron armor, not to mention puncture, it will at least leave a dent or something..."

"You are using an ordinary iron sword to attack my breastplate, and then try switching to a manganese steel sword."

Gudern said as he fixed and tied his breastplate and gave it to Old Joseph for testing.

The subsequent result was just as he said, there was no puncture, but it left an oval indentation on the breastplate.

In addition to stabbing, Old Joseph also tested various attack moves such as slashing, picking, and sweeping.

After a while, the manganese steel armor was fine, but the ordinary breastplate was already scarred.

Gudern didn't feel bad at all, and directly handed the manganese steel sword to Old Joseph.

The slightly light feel allows Joseph to fully utilize the performance of the weapon.

The first test target was manganese steel armor. Using the same strength and moves, this time it finally left a faint mark on the manganese steel armor.

This is because Old Joseph's strength is not enough. If he were replaced by a high-level swordsman, he would probably be able to pierce through with a full blow.

When faced with ordinary iron armor, the manganese steel sword was like chopping vegetables and melons. Old Joseph could tear open a hole with a single blow.

Looking at the long sword in his hand, Old Joseph still couldn't believe it. This thing was so fierce? !
