Game of Thrones: Catastrophe

In this way, Donald Noy of Fengxi Castle became Leono's first follower in this world, and took his blacksmith shop industry to Leono's name.

Leono has had his first industry since time traveling, and the first thing he did was to personally inspect the situation of this industry.

Despite the introduction of Donner, he went to the blacksmith shop in person to watch Donner’s work on the spot.

Donner's daily work is to repair and build weapons for the soldiers of Fengxi Fort. Although he was lonely and drunk, no one asked him about it. But in fact, his blacksmith shop's business is not bad because his skills are good. of.

In the entire Windsburg, Donner's blacksmith craftsmanship was one of the best, and even the warhammer used by Leonor's brother Robert was created by him.

The reason why he looks down and hard is that he is worried about his situation.

Yes, Donner looked down on the profession of blacksmiths, but instead advocated the noble knights. He was depressed all day long, did not get married and started a family, and devoted all his income to buying drunks and prostitutes.

Now Leono's storage makes him feel that he has found a new direction in his life. He held an iron hammer and expressed his hope to Leono who went to the blacksmith shop to create a sword for him.

"I have no money, I can't read, and I can't ride a horse. I can only do this for you, Lord Leonor." Donner pleaded.

"Yes!" Leonor accepted Donner's request with a smile, and then followed him to ask questions when he turned on the furnace and asked Dorrett and Vincent to help him.

Donner had two helpers, although one of them was very small, and could only do some helping with things and pulling the bellows. Even so, it was enough to make him feel much easier. He had the time to answer some of Leonor's questions and told him His tricks to distinguish ore.

The process of Donner creating the sword was the technology brought to Westeros by the Andals, which was to select suitable iron ore, then melt and refine, and then hammer and mold.

The quality of the sword made in this way depends heavily on the carbon content of the iron ore itself. Good luck is the pig iron sword with extremely high hardness but easy to break, and bad is the hard iron sword without bones. As for whether it can produce a steel sword? , just look at whether the blacksmith among the Seven Gods will give her face.

After learning about Donner's roughly forging process, Leonor asked about the price of iron ore and learned that an Iron Island ore of equal weight of living people would require one hundred silver deer, and an excellent iron sword could be sold. One hundred to two hundred silver deer, and one iron chest armor can sell for three hundred to four hundred silver deer.

An excellent steel sword is priced at 800 silver deer. As for the steel full-body armor, it is the same as the Valyrian steel sword. It is impossible to buy it on the market. The nobles will only keep it as a family heirloom.

Good guy, Leonor is just a good guy.

The ore in the Iron Islands is of excellent quality. He doesn't understand the iron content inside, but just calculates it by half the iron content. A living person has 120 kilograms, and when heavy iron ore can produce about 60 kilograms of iron.

An iron sword can use up to four to five kilograms of iron. Sixty kilograms of iron can calculate the loss of ten kilograms, and five can produce five iron swords. One iron sword is one hundred silver deer, and five are five hundred silver deer. Ores are counted as The labor cost is at most 200 silver deer, and there are more than twice the interest rate. If five steel swords can be used, the profit margin will increase by dozens of times.

No wonder Guan Zhong and Sang Hongyang wanted to nationalize the two items of iron and salt, which was so profitable.

This business must be done. Once it is done well, Cheng Wang and Chengba will have the foundation.

Leonor was full of motivation and began to study the smelting equipment in the Donner Blacksmith shop more carefully, and then improved it with the iron smelting technology in the Taoist scriptures.

Although the Taoist scriptures record how to use a furnace to make steel, some practical details, such as how to select ore, how to set up a furnace to melt iron, and even how to burn the charcoal required for iron smelting, he must explore it himself. .

After making a plan based on the furnace equipment in Donner's Blacksmith's shop, Leonor began to take action officially. He withdraws five golden dragon pocket money from the old scholar Krisen as experimental gold.

The old bachelor has been busy with the post-war restoration work of Fengxibao, summoning people to cultivate, repair mills, etc., and has no time to pay attention to him, so he agreed to his application for funding casually.

Leonor resigned to hand over the hardware dragon to Donner, and no one else was available to him at the moment.

He asked Donald to remodel the blacksmith shop according to his requirements and buy charcoal and manpower. As for the most important iron ore raw materials, he doesn't need to spend money to buy it for the time being. There are still five or six hundred kilograms in the blacksmith shop, which is enough .

When Donner's blacksmith shop was renovated, the old molten pool was demolished and replaced by an open smelting platform. Compared with the original, only an expansion was made, at most a bellows connected by mud paste were added to the bottom. Added trenches dug in advance.

Donner couldn't figure out what Leonor was going to do, but as a retainer, he could only act according to the orders, and he demanded himself with the loyalty of the knight.

According to Leono's request, he gave up the previous use of carbonite, that is, coal smelting, and sent pine charcoal and iron ore to the smelting platform, and then started work with the help of five apprentices.

As the bellows blow, the iron ore on the smelting platform quickly melted in the middle of the red charcoal. It was pounded by Donner with a wooden stick and led out of the smelting platform along the groove and flowed into the pre-prepared red mud mold. .

Leonor stood in front of the hot smelting platform, watching the red molten iron into the mold, looking forward to it.

Donner stood beside him, looking at the red iron, and then at the anticipated Leonor, and finally flattered with a smile:

"Sir, your new approach has really made us much more convenient."

This is flattery and comes from the heart, because Donner found that the one-time smelting method of expanding the furnace in this way is really labor-saving.

"Is that?" Leonor was naturally a little happy to have Donner's recognition, but he was still looking forward to the quality of molten iron.

After the iron blocks in the red mud were poured into cold water to cool down, Donner picked up a piece. He was ready to flatter Mr. Leonor regardless of the quality, but when he carefully observed the iron blocks in his hand After that, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Donner put down one piece, waited for the second piece to fill and cool down before looking, and waited for the third piece.

After the iron on the stove was gone, only a pile of rotten slags were left. Donner carefully checked six pieces of smelted iron, each of which was of excellent quality black iron, and even just a little forging. Can be a good sword.

Is it the blacksmith's blessing? Or did Master Leonor use some magic?

Donner reported the situation to Leono in awe, and did not dare to ask more questions, and Leono naturally knew that he had succeeded.

He didn't use any magic, but just asked to smelve charcoal to absorb iron ore impurities while ensuring the charcoal content in the iron. In addition, the unified smelting method neutralizes the charcoal content to make the iron block produced quality and Qi, this is just the lowest cast iron method in the Taoist scriptures.

"Can they cast weapons?"

"Yes, and it's very convenient, just leave it to me!" Donner rushed to serve.

"No, leave it to them." Leonor refused Donner's role, but pointed at the five apprentices and said to them:

"From the future, you will be Mr. Noy's apprentices. Learn well with him. In the future, I will make you rich, even become a knight."

The five apprentices were all civilians recruited from Fengxi Castle. They could only make a living in the blacksmith shop. When they heard Leonor promise to make a fortune and become a knight, they immediately nodded like pounding garlic.

"Donner, can you?" Leonor asked for Donner's advice. The blacksmith was stunned at first, then he didn't know what he thought of, and nodded repeatedly:

"Don't worry! Lord Leonor, I will teach them as my son."

"Then your son will be a little too much in the future!" Leonor laughed, and Donna became happier when he heard this.
