Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Between the vast farm and the mine in the southwest of the territory, a newly built workshop complex is showing a scene of full-scale work.

Cart after car of iron ore pulled here from the mine by alchemical camels is piled into towering hills in the open-air ore stockpile area, and then transported by metal cranes, it is continuously sent to the cast iron workshop to be smelted into finished iron ingots.

As the iron ore output of the mine in the territory becomes more and more stable, Harvey moved many production factories originally located in the core area of ​​the territory to the outer area far away from the market area and residential area, and officially named it the industrial zone.

After all, the previous cast iron factory and civilian iron workshop implemented a three-shift work system, with harsh production noises all day long, and pungent and choking smelting waste slag smoke filled the sky over the entire territory, seriously affecting Harvey's daily routine and the air quality in the territory.

He decisively waved his hand and asked Reiner to arrange the construction department to move all production units except the magic military factory to the outskirts of the territory, away from his castle and municipal residential areas.

The original site after the demolition was allocated separately to Egno to start the formal construction of his magic potion botanical garden. The remaining scattered plots allowed this natural spellcaster to quickly catalyze the planting of a large number of green trees and flower shrubs that purify the air, turning the original polluting factory into a delicate street garden.

"Replace the cold water for the alchemy beast! Let it continue to blow air into the furnace!" A factory supervisor in charge of smelting iron ore in the cast iron workshop loudly directed the workers.

A huge alchemy beast lay on the ground next to the cement brick furnace, with its huge black mouth facing the furnace mouth, constantly stirring its belly sewn with animal skins to blow air into the furnace.

Several skilled workers carried several buckets of ice water that was quickly cooled by the frozen magic stone, poured ice water into the alchemy beast from the water inlet on its back, and pulled the joystick on its side to discharge the excess high-temperature steam from the alchemy beast's tail.

Although they couldn't see the scene in the furnace, the workers kept adding burning charcoal to the furnace. Their faces were reddened by the high temperature of the furnace, and their light gray workers' uniforms were wet and dry, leaving a large area of ​​white sweat crystals.

"Boss! The iron ore has melted, and I see the molten iron rolling in the furnace!" A worker stood on the top of the furnace, responsible for observing the situation inside the furnace and reporting to the supervisor at any time.

"Hurry up! Open the bottom slag outlet."

Several workers guarding the furnace immediately used long iron hooks to pull open the iron grille behind the furnace, allowing the slag that flowed into the special groove to flow out through the slag outlet.

These slag wastes cannot be discarded at will. They still need to be flushed and cooled, and then pulled by alchemical camels to the stockpile yard. Naturally, people from the Ministry of Construction will arrange for their transportation. According to them, these are excellent paving and foundation materials.

The workers in the cast iron workshop privately call those guys in the Ministry of Construction who are covered in dust all day long as gray donkeys.

Whether it is cement powder produced by cement factories, fine slag produced by cast iron factories, or even riverbed sand excavated from the dock construction site, they accept all of them as if any ash can be regarded as a treasure.

Under the command of the supervisor, the workers opened the slag outlet several times intermittently. The workers in charge of observation reported that the molten iron in the furnace had all sunk to the bottom and merged into the special groove. They only needed to open the iron outlet to let the molten iron flow out and enter the special cast iron mold to cool, and then they could get the freshly baked finished iron ingots.

The factory supervisor wiped the greasy sweat from his face. The cast iron production he was responsible for today's morning shift had been completed.

"Okay! Everyone shut down the alchemy beast to cool down, follow the safety procedures, and pay attention to the high-temperature steam!"

"Also, go change into a clean set of work clothes for me later, and wash your black faces. I received a notice that the gray donkeys from the Ministry of Construction may come to the industrial zone for survey this afternoon. Don't show up with a dirty look and embarrass our Ministry of Industry..."

...

Haru is the luckiest and most flexible guy among the first batch of wasteland refugees who joined the territory.

Although he was unfortunately crippled in one leg during his enslavement by the evil orcs, he barely saved his life with his stonemasonry skills. He was not directly slaughtered by the evil orcs as long-legged rations, but was always brought by their side to set up camp and dig stoves for them.

After being rescued by Lord Pierce, he joined Lord Harvey's territory and quickly passed the primary literacy education from Mr. Asdalen, becoming the first desert refugee in the territory who could read and write fluently.

The more than one year he lived in the territory was a hundred times happier than the thirty years of his first half of life combined.

Lord Harvey gave him the opportunity to earn food and salary through labor, so that after building the first batch of houses, Haru got a two-story new house of his own as he wished.

And because he was good at stonemasonry, he was recruited by the Lord to the municipal center and became a territory official with a fixed salary and high subsidies every month, and he was also the chief official in charge of the construction department!

He was naturally grateful to the Lord, and continued his construction work in the territory conscientiously, and built the pioneer territory into what it is today little by little with the people who continued to join the territory and the technicians of the construction department.

Lord castle, people community, municipal building, convenience market...

When the towering city wall that surrounded the territory for dozens of miles was officially completed, the lord personally put a delicate badge made of black iron on his chest, patted his shoulder and praised him as the cornerstone of the pioneer territory and an excellent pioneer of the territory's development.

Everyone stood on the newly built city wall and applauded him desperately. Lord Harvey also smiled and supported him who almost collapsed on the ground crying. This scene made him unforgettable for life.

Later, the city hall of the territory directly rewarded him with a house, so that he no longer had to save money to buy the property rights of the rented house.

After working for fifteen years, he could rest directly in his own home without working, and he would still receive a considerable allowance every month. Lord Reiner said that it was called a pension, which could be used until he died.

This kind of luxurious treatment is no different from entering the heaven of the gods.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

"Minister? Minister!" The deputy beside him gently pulled Haru's sleeve, interrupting his beautiful fantasy of retirement life and immediately turning his attention back to the real world.

Yes, the lord has given him a new construction task, but he needs to work with the people in the Ministry of Industry to complete it.

He carefully picked up the architectural drawings given to him by the lord, on which was drawn a... high tower.

The tower body was marked with a height of nearly seven meters, several times higher than the furnaces he had previously built for the Ministry of Industry. The tower was thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and the smallest internal diameter was two and a half meters. If it was not built with cement-mixed stone bricks, it would easily collapse, and a support system connected to the tower body and the foundation must be built at the bottom with cast iron.

There is a circle of circular vents at the bottom of the tower, and the shape is designed to allow the alchemy beast to blow air into the tower.

There is also a set of facility drawings that match the tower, which is a set of ore transportation equipment using alchemy beasts as power, and an iron ore transportation line with rails and special mine cars.

"This tower... no, it's a furnace tower!" Haru turned to the end of the drawing and saw the name of the drawing written by the Lord himself - Steelmaking Blast Furnace Design Drawing.

His task was to build six such magnificent furnace towers in the industrial zone, as well as all the supporting facilities and equipment.

"This is a test given to us by the Lord!" Haru rolled up the drawing, clenched his fist and waved it heavily at his men, "Let's go! Let's go to the industrial zone now to survey the construction site and let those stokers from the Ministry of Industry see our skills!"
