"This is the purified sea iron," explained President Mosang. "However, the purity of this sea iron is not high, only about 70%."

"Because the price of purifying sea iron is too expensive and requires extremely high furnace temperature. With the technology of Sidio, in the case of pure use of furnace fire, only about 75% of the purity can be obtained. Haitie."

"Going further, it's like adding more valuable cyan silver as a melting agent, which is not worth the candle."

"Is there a sample with higher purity? Show me." Lorne said in a deep voice.

Although President Mosang didn't understand what the admiral wanted to do, he obediently took out a black stone from an old cabinet. This refinery is shared by the Cyan Silver Family and the Iron Union, so President Mosang is quite familiar with it.

"This is sea iron made from cyan silver ore worth almost 200,000 Baileys during the previous experiment. The purity is around 85."

Lorne took this piece of black metal, it seemed a bit too heavy, and he almost couldn't hold it. It made the garden next to him couldn't help muttering.

"Is it that heavy? I think you should exercise more and not rely too much on your own ability."

"The density of sea iron is indeed relatively high, which is why it is extremely hard." President Mosang explained. "However, this metal has a very peculiar characteristic, that is, sea iron ore. Once it is mixed with other metals, it will be smelted together, and the extraction will become much easier. But then, unless the addition is cyan Silver, otherwise the hardness of this new alloy is much lower than that of sea iron."

"That's why the boatmen also use the one-to-one alloy of sea iron and ordinary iron to build ships. Steo's warships are also extremely famous in the New World."

"So there are skilled shipbuilders in this country?" Lorne put the sea iron sample on the table and asked calmly.

As he expected, this metal has certain characteristics of Hailou Stone. With a purity of 85%, it can already slightly affect his activities. And according to what Mosang said, this country seems to have its own shipyard?

Is this a blessing in disguise? You know, because of the improvement of the Golden Proverb, Lorne has already murdered the family's procrastinating craftsman leader.

"It used to be, but," Mo Sang glanced at Jingyuan, his face a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Jingyuan is also a kind person, she explained in a deep voice.

"There's nothing to be taboo about. These craftsmen should have been taken away by Shiji as his own assets. But he doesn't need too many warships. Maybe he will pack them up and sell them to Kaido."

Hearing Gion's explanation, Lorne nodded, which seemed reasonable. In this world where more than 90% of the place is covered by the sea, ships are the most important means of transportation, and shipbuilders are also important technical talents.

Because of his ability, Shi Ke didn't value warships very much, so it was normal for him to trade this craftsman to Kaido, who had just lost dozens of warships in the execution war.

Lorne glanced at the sea iron sample he had placed on the table and thought to himself.

But these two emperors never imagined what they missed. What kind of changes will this ore, which they discarded because it was too difficult to extract, bring to the world.

"There is the last sea iron vein left, do you want to take a look, Lord Admiral?" President Mosang said respectfully. "Sea iron is the cornerstone of Sdio, and it is buried underground in Sdio. It can be said that the entire island is composed of sea iron ore veins."

"Cyan silver and gold are just a bonus of this sea railway." President Mosang said proudly.

"No need." Lorne shook his head, "Let the workers get to work first, I want to see your so-called purification process." Then he said to the already impatient Gion.

"I'm going to start trying something, can you help me get rid of the marine life gathered in the southern peninsula port first?"

"Do you really consider yourself the master of this place?" Gion said indignantly, but then thought that after receiving the letter of appointment from the World Government, Lorne seemed to be the master of Sdio. So with a cold snort, he turned around and walked out.

After Mosang brought Lorne to the door of a laboratory, he gave instructions to the workers below and then respectfully left, leaving only Lorne and Garrett standing at the door.

"What the hell happened?" Garrett asked in a low voice after Mosang left. She had already discovered that after Lorne saw the black metal, something was wrong with him.

"I want to verify my guess." Lorne said in a deep voice, and then spread out his perception ability. Under the continuous development of his "micro-sensing field", he fully exerted the range and its terror afterward. Lorne quickly found Enilu who was still dozing in a tree. Use the "whisper" ability to tell him to come quickly. Then after thinking about it, he found Fat Tiger who was eating and drinking in a certain restaurant, and asked him to come with him.

Fat Tiger, who was eating happily, was taken aback for a moment, and quickly got up, leaving Aldin who was always inseparable, and walked towards the southern peninsula with his fat body alone.

Lorne stood there for a while, when a thunderbolt slammed into the ground in front of him, a shirtless man came out of the blue thunder, Enilo frowned and asked.

"What happened?"

He rarely saw such a serious Lorne.

"Come with me." Lorne pushed open the door of the laboratory, and there stood a few workers who had been prepared for a long time.

"Let me refine the sea iron ore." Lorne instructed the workers.

The workers were puzzled, but this man was brought by President Mosang. They heard that he was the new admiral of the island and drove away the terrible intruders. They dared not do anything wrong. He obediently threw a pile of sea iron rough stones into the furnace.

Then the wind blows vigorously. The sea iron melted slowly in the furnace, and the impurities were quickly removed. It shrunk several times and turned into a piece of black metal the size of a baby's head.

"This is sea iron with a purity of 70, and it is also the limit of what we can do without using other fluxes." A worker wiped the sweat from his forehead and said slowly.

They are familiar with things like refining sea iron, and it won't take much time.

"Add cyan silver and continue." Lorne said in a deep voice, the sea iron with a purity of 70 could not satisfy him at all.

Hearing his boss say this, what else can the workers say? Had no choice but to reluctantly put a large amount of expensive cyan silver into the furnace and continue to blast. Slowly, the fire turned from light yellow to blue.

Perfect!

After the furnace fire completely turned blue, Lorne could vaguely see the sea iron ore, which was only as big as an adult's fist.
