Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

The Lord's Castle on the island in the middle of the lake was originally the residence of the Graman family, but in recent years, this building has begun to deviate from its original residential attributes and quickly move towards an office space.

The main reason is that the territory controlled by Paul is getting larger and larger, and the economic development of the territory under his rule is extremely rapid, far from the feudal economy of the traditional territory that has been calm for thousands of years. Therefore, he has to deal with more and more affairs. One person's energy is limited, and there are more and more officials assisting him.

Since the establishment of the State Council, with the continuous subdivision of the management field, in addition to the original seven departments of finance, agriculture, industry, fishery, forestry, public security, intelligence, and education, departments of science and technology, commerce, transportation, maritime affairs, health, etc. have been added one after another. Some large departments have moved out of the Lord's Mansion and set up independent offices on the island. The remaining officials of those small departments are still crowded in the Lord's Mansion. There are still a lot of people.

Most of the rooms in the manor house are used as offices of various departments. If it is not necessary, Paul is reluctant to move them out of his castle, not because of power, but because there are no telephones in this era. If he suddenly wants to find someone to ask or discuss something, it is really troublesome if the other party is not around.

In addition, he has to meet with people from all walks of life, representatives of public opinion, industry leaders, local celebrities... and so on.

Because of the above reasons, all kinds of people come in and out of Paul's manor every day.

Obviously, it is not appropriate to place Catherine and others in the manor house. Even if there are no above reasons, doing so will make people feel like they are living under someone else's roof.

So Paul selected a piece of pleasant woodland in the western suburbs of Huxin Town and built an exquisite manor here early. It is very close to the road leading to Fulan Port and the transportation is very convenient.

Now, he gave it to Queen Phyllis, who is about to become his mother-in-law, and it is also used as a residence for the two princesses.

Queen Phyllis was very satisfied and grateful for Paul's arrangement. After coming to Northwest Bay and seeing all the styles here, she liked this prospective son-in-law more and more. She was a little dissatisfied with Rodney XVIII for using her daughter as a tool for marriage, but now she felt that this nephew did a great thing.

Although Irene has grown up a few years, she is still the lively girl. When she ran away from home and came to Lake Town in her early years, she bought a two-story house on the island as her residence. Paul has maintained this house very well over the years, and she is very grateful for this. There is a period of freedom, joy and achievement there. She decided to take time out every month to stay for a few days in the future.

Many of the royal army officers who came to Northwest Bay with the royal family members have had many years of military career. It seems that it is not appropriate to throw them into the military academy as students and study for a few more years. After discussing with Catherine, Paul made the following arrangements: all of them were placed in the teaching regiment.

The teaching regiment is a newly established exemplary combat unit of the Alda Army, which undertakes many tasks such as military training, tactical research, and standard setting.

Of course, other military units also conduct military training and tactical research, but the teaching group's functions in these areas are more professional, more centralized, and more systematic. It not only trains new recruits, but is also responsible for the training of officers, non-commissioned officers and other personnel at all levels. Its research and training results will serve as guidance and demonstration for other units, so it is called the teaching group.

Shortly after Catherine and others arrived, Paul welcomed another unexpected person-Marianna.

He received a letter from Andrew, saying that Marianna appeared in Horn Bay and had a close relationship with Helen, the Grand Duchess of the Principality of Eton.

Paul was not surprised by this. He had learned from Ladi about the teacher-student relationship between Marianna, Ladi, and Helen. Based on this, it can be inferred that Eton can become the first country in the world to recognize the legal power of spellcasters. Marianna is definitely behind it, or it is the pusher of the secret law society.

After hesitating for a long time, he still wrote a letter to Horn Bay and asked Andrew to pass it to his mother.

He said in the letter that his wedding date was approaching, but he did not explicitly say whether he would invite Marianne back to attend his wedding. However, the meaning revealed in the words could not be hidden from the experienced Red Flame Witch.

Marianne felt mixed emotions. Although Paul still had a grudge against her for leaving him when he was a child, it was better than ignoring her like air.

So after the Gulf War, she immediately set off north and returned to the place that was her hometown in her heart.

Another son, Nathan, seemed reluctant to come, but he was forcibly dragged to the Northwest Bay by his mother. "This is your brother's wedding, you can't be so indifferent!"

Marianne's arrival surprised Paul, or...surprised. For such an important moment in his life, he certainly hoped that his loved ones would witness it with him, even if he still felt a little awkward with his mother.

After careful consideration, Paul confessed Marianne's identity to his fiancée, of course not including the secret meeting.

Catherine was shocked. It turned out that Paul's mother was still alive, and she was a...witch? Oh my God!

However, after the shock, she took the initiative to ask to meet Marianne.

Paul arranged for them to meet, and he was very happy that the two of them had a great conversation, and even talked about various things from their childhood, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

But later, for some reason, they actually talked about orcs. Can we only say that they are all women with careers?

The powerful army of the grassland orcs has penetrated deep into Ordo. Even if the Arda army won a battle, it only defeated a small orc army.

Faced with the worries expressed by his mother and fiancée, Paul felt it necessary to give them courage.

So he took Catherine and Marianna, as well as the younger brother who deliberately showed an indifferent face but insisted on following, to visit a nearby iron factory.

As expected, the three were deeply shocked!

The towering iron factory showed the magnificent beauty of industry in the smoke.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

Coke ironmaking has been widely used. The towering chimneys spewed thick smoke, and the huge water wheel roared, providing a steady stream of power for the blast furnace and forging hammer.

In the hot blast furnace, molten iron rushed out like lava, and the golden red light illuminated the dim factory, as if the blood of the earth was boiling.

The molten iron flows slowly along the groove, exuding a scorching breath, and the air is filled with the fiery smell of metal and flames.

The workers scoop up the boiling molten iron with a long-handled spoon and pour it into the mold. Sparks fly in an instant, like a meteor shower in the night sky.

Next to the churning furnace, people wave iron bars to transform pig iron into tougher wrought iron. The molten iron splashes under heavy blows and turns into golden light.

In the huge factory, mechanical gears mesh and rotate, forging hammers rise and fall like thunder, and iron blocks gradually take shape under heavy blows.

This is not only a place for iron smelting, but also a symbol of human conquest of nature and control of technology, showing magnificent power and infinite possibilities.

What is presented here is not only a leap in technology, but also the birth of a new era.
