Phoenix Grand Lord

Annie frowned, "What? Luo Wei! You actually asked me, the daughter of a noble earl, to carry dirty charcoal for you?"

Luo Wei naturally corrected him: "First of all, charcoal is not dirty. Charcoal itself has the ability to clean. It is just black, but it is by no means dirty. Secondly, these are all the details to gain magical power, Miss Lorris. If you don’t want to know the details, then you don’t have to do it yourself, I’ll just let the apprentices do it.”

"No, no!" Annie said quickly: "I didn't say I wouldn't do it! I do it, I do it!"

With that said, Annie gathered her magical thoughts and prepared to retrieve the object from the air.

But Luo Wei raised his hand to stop, "No, we have to restore the details! I can't grab it from the air. I was holding the charcoal in my hand and stuffing it into the furnace."

The corners of Annie's mouth twitched slightly, and the previous complacent energy was completely gone.

"Okay---in order to explore the magical power, just move it by hand. What's the point?"

Annie adjusted her glasses, prepared herself mentally, and bent down to pick up a large pile of charcoal.

Luo Wei stood in front of Annie and admired it.

Although Annie is a level 5 magician, she is really not very good at work and is even a bit clumsy.

The black charcoal rubbed against her jade-white chest and chin, which had a different flavor.

After Annie finally stuffed the charcoal into the hot block furnace, she was already covered in sweat.

Annie wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked, "What then?"

"Continue." Luo Wei said: "The amount of charcoal is not enough. Let's do it three more times.'

Annie gritted her teeth and said: ".——Okay."

In order to obtain magical power, Annie also risked her life.

After three consecutive times, the temperature of the block smelting furnace gradually increased to the bottleneck of 1000 Kilodegrees.

"Next, put the crude iron ore into the graphite crucible, and then put the graphite stack into the center of the block furnace with long pliers."

"..-.good."

Anne obediently continued to do so.

The surrounding blacksmith apprentices were all dumbfounded. Even Geerland stopped forging and concentrated on watching Master Rowe direct the count's daughter to work.

This scene is really rare to see in a hundred years!

You know, they usually never see an earl-level aristocratic lady, let alone an earl-level aristocratic lady doing such rough work.

Geerlan shook his head in disbelief and whispered: "Our master is so powerful. The Earl's daughter, a level 5 magician, can do whatever is asked in front of our master, and do whatever is asked. She is really obedient. !”

The other blacksmith apprentices also nodded excitedly, and their admiration for the master became even stronger.

After Annie laboriously put the heavy crude iron ore into the center of the furnace, she was already panting from exhaustion, and her luxurious dress was drenched in moisture.

Of course, other people didn't dare to look directly at her, the daughter of an earl, so it was okay.

The only one who dared to look directly at her current embarrassment was Luo Wei.

Luo Wei saw it very directly and with relish.

After all, Anne had taken advantage of her twice before, and now she was just looking at Anne who was swimming, so this was not even getting back the money.

Annie wiped the sweat from her cheeks with her little black hand, "Is it over? Why don't I feel anything?"

Luo Wei said: "This is just the beginning. Now, use your level 4 flame magic to bombard the rune stones in the furnace. Be sure to control your magic level. Don't use level 5 magic to avoid exploding the furnace."

"Huh! Huh? Wait!" Annie asked with confusion on her face: "Is this also the details of your experience? Did you also use level 4 magic to ignite the rune stones?"

Luo Wei said: "Although I don't know magic, using pure magic flame to ignite the rune stones is definitely much better than the method I used before! Maybe you can get more magical power than me."

Annie adjusted her glasses with her black hand and said with a serious face: "That's right, of course I'm better than you."

After saying that, Annie gathered her magical thoughts and shot a level 4 fireball at the flame rune stone at the heart of the furnace.

boom!

Under the bombardment of pure fire magic power, the level 4 rune stones immediately resonated and released fire magic energy.

The temperature of the block smelting furnace immediately increased, and quickly broke through the previous bottleneck, rising towards 1200 Kilodegrees!

The coarse iron ore in the crucible immediately began to melt into molten iron, and the impurities in the coarse iron ore turned into thick white smoke that erupted from the furnace chimney.

The high temperature of the fire was also a bit unbearable for Anne, "Are you ready?"

Luo Wei said in a deep voice: "No! We have to continue! Hold on a little longer and try to feel the magical power!"

Annie could only grit her teeth and persist, while trying to feel the magical power.

But where can I feel it?

He persisted until the thick smoke began to subside, and Annie could no longer bear it any longer. Then Luo Wei said, "Okay, now take out the molten iron in the crucible and turn it into the furnace to start the blast! You have to act fast!"

Anne hurriedly picked up the crucible tongs, clamped the crucible out of the block smelting furnace, and sent it into the wind furnace. The water wheel's airbag was immediately activated, and the powerful wind carried out oxidation and reduction to reduce carbon in the molten iron.

When the molten iron cooled and solidified, Luo Wei ordered Annie to clamp it out.

After the whole process, Anne was so tired that she could hardly lift her arms.

Blacksmith Geerlan couldn't help but come over and carefully observe the newly formed iron block.

Immediately, Gallan's excited voice trembled, "Original God! This, this, this is steel! This is steel!!!"

Annie's face was full of shock, "What is it? What are you talking about?"

Luo Wei said in a deep voice: "Gerlan, test it quickly."

"yes!"

Gerlan first used a wrought iron rod to hit the newly smelted steel hard. The wrought iron rod suddenly bent! The steel is intact!

Wrought iron is forged from sponge iron that has not reached the melting point to form a hammer and has many impurities. This kind of wrought iron is also the main material of Merrill Valley ironware.

Then, Geerlan found a pig iron rod and hit the newly smelted steel hard - the pig iron rod broke immediately! And the steel is still intact!

The blacksmith apprentices present cheered excitedly.

You know, pig iron is an iron material that reaches the melting point and is refined into molten iron. It's just that it's too difficult to smelt molten iron in a furnace. You can only get a small bowl of molten iron occasionally, and it also has a lot of impurities and is not pure.

Because pig iron contains a lot of carbon, it is harder than wrought iron, but it is also more brittle.

And steel is right between pig iron and wrought iron!

Without an industrial base, steelmaking is very difficult.

And with the addition of magic combustion support and catalytic reduction, the technical difficulties of steelmaking have been overcome!

Geerlan shed tears, "It's really steel! Master! You are truly the greatest lord in the world! You made steel!"

Luo Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, "Finally, we in Merrill Valley can finally make steel. This is our own steel! From now on, this kind of steel will be called Merrill Steel."

"Merillin Steel! Merrill Steel!"

The blacksmith apprentices raised their arms and shouted.

In fact, the current Merrill Lynch steel can only be regarded as crude steel, which is far from real fine steel, and it cannot be compared with the industrial steel in the earth. However, starting from scratch is already a huge step.

There must be one before there is two, and there must be three before there can be higher technological development.

In Luo Wei's head, he has already begun planning for the large-scale production of Merrill Steel arrowheads, as well as steel weapons such as the Long Contradiction Brand.

Before the next war, fight for all bell-ringing troops and mercenaries to be equipped with Merrill Steel shields and Merrill Steel crossbows!

Just when everyone in the blacksmith shop was excited, Annie said angrily: "Wait! Okay,

Luo Wei, are you playing with me? "
