The Lord Who Wants to Be Emperor

"New weapon?" Aslan asked, pointing to Nigor's equipment covered by canvas.

Nigor nodded and said excitedly: "Lord Lord! I promise to shock you."

Aslan nodded, pointed to Merlin's device and said, "Let's take a look at yours first! Good things should be kept till the end."

Gwennaville laughed suddenly.

Merlin also smiled helplessly, but he was very confident that once Aslan saw this set of equipment, he would be so excited that he couldn't speak.

The three goblin magicians slowly flew up, pulling the canvas apart.

A huge boiler similar to a pressure cooker appeared in front of everyone.

The Duke of Medea subconsciously lifted his chin to check, his huge mental power swept across, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"What is this?" Duke Medea asked curiously.

Merlin looked at Aslan.

Aslan widened his eyes suddenly and asked in surprise.

"This is a steelmaking electric furnace?"

Merlin smiled proudly.

"Great, just in time." Aslan excitedly hugged Gwennaville and walked around the electric stove.

"How big is this electric furnace, and how much steel can be made at one time?" Aslan asked.

The Duke of Medea and the other magicians suddenly opened their eyes. This big guy was actually a magic device for steelmaking.

"This is only a test furnace. It can make 500 jin of steel at one time. I have designed another electric furnace that can make five tons of steel at one time." Mei Lin said confidently.

The Duke of Medea and the other magicians stared sharply. They had just heard something, and they could make five tons of steel in one furnace.

"How long is the cycle?" Nigor was not calm now.

Because of his research on weapons, he needed a huge amount of steel. It is no exaggeration to say that more than one-third of the steel produced in Merlot is consumed by Merlin and Nigor.

The experiment has succeeded and failed, so there is a huge warehouse outside the two big workshops, where there are more than ten tons of steel scraps. It was discovered by Willson at the beginning that he was heartbroken to death.

"From putting in the electric furnace to coming out, it only takes a little more than an hour. The most important thing is to re-smelt the scrap iron." Mei Lin said confidently.

Jato subconsciously shouted: "I fuck!"

Gwennaville blinked her eyes. She already knew something like electricity, so she wasn't too surprised by the steel-making electric furnace. The point was that she was totally different from what this thing was.

In fact, no matter what era it is, unless it is a woman in this professional field. Otherwise, it is impossible to understand the difference between blast furnace steelmaking and electric furnace steelmaking, and many have never even heard it.

So even if Gwynnaville was a traverser, he didn't understand the significance of this electric furnace steelmaking technology in this era.

Aslan waved his hand, Merlin immediately understood, and asked his subordinates to pull a small pile of scrap iron from the warehouse next to it and throw it into the electric furnace, then connected the power to start the electric furnace.

A large number of templates were also prepared nearby, which were obviously used to hold iron juice.

The real reason why Merlin gave priority to the development of electric furnaces is that the scale of the Merlot Dam power plant is too large, causing a lot of waste of electrical elements. It has even begun to lay the power grid from Merlot to several other towns.

Since there is electricity, it is natural to develop an electric furnace that is easier to master. The inside of the electric furnace is composed of a complete electric heating magic circuit to replace the heating equipment, not to mention the overall quality of the steel produced by the electric furnace is better than that of the blast furnace.

The biggest difference between electric furnace steelmaking and blast furnace steelmaking is that all blast furnace steelmaking uses scrap steel, but blast furnace steelmaking water accounts for 90%.

In terms of consumption, electric furnace steelmaking consumes electricity and oxygen, while blast furnace steelmaking consumes oxygen. The cost alone is several times higher than blast furnace steelmaking.

However, considering that there is a surplus of electricity generation in Merlot, and even many places have built small reservoirs and windmills to generate electricity, there is no need to worry about power consumption.

It can even be said that the cost of electric furnace steelmaking is lower than that of blast furnace steelmaking. Moreover, the composition of the tapping liquid for electric furnace steelmaking is relatively stable and the quality is high. The composition of molten steel in blast furnace steelmaking varies greatly, and several more procedures are needed to extract higher-quality steel.

What's more, electric furnace steel is mostly used to produce high-quality carbon structural steel, tool steel and alloy steel.

This type of steel has excellent quality and uniform performance. At the same carbon content, the strength and plasticity of electric furnace steel is better than that of open hearth steel. Electric furnace steel uses similar steel scrap as the main raw material, and sponge iron can also be used to replace part of the scrap. Adjust the chemical composition and alloying element content by adding iron alloy.

To put it simply, electric furnace steelmaking is currently the most scarce technology in Merlot City. It is impossible to say that it can be used to refine a batch of higher-end steel materials, so that the strength of the Merlot army's armor and weapons can be improved again.

Now the Merlot Army’s armaments are the most elite of the entire unified army. In terms of armor and weapons alone, the entire Kingdom of Cleveland could not wear such exquisite weapons and armor during the peak period of the Kingdom of Cleveland. If you raise another level, Aslan has a hunch that in the next battle, the Merlot army has just used 50,000 troops on the battlefield with 500,000 troops in the ten-square alliance of hard steel.

As long as they are not cut to the point where they cannot be protected by armor, it is simply a idiotic dream to want to injure the Merlot army with the simple equipment of the Shifang Alliance.

Because it took time to wait, Aslan turned his attention to Nigor's new weapon.

With a wave of Nigor's hand, the canvas flew directly, revealing the new weapon underneath.

Everyone didn't notice that Gwennaville couldn't help showing shocked eyes after seeing this new weapon.

Although Gwennaville was not a fan of the military in his previous life, the Vulcan cannon often appeared in large movies in the lighthouse country.

Seeing too much, I am naturally impressed.

Nigor walked up to the Vulcan Cannon and patted twelve 12.6-caliber barrels and said: "Because the shooting is like a roar of flames, I named the Vulcan Cannon."

Aslan's mouth twitched.

This will work.

Nigor began to command people to pull out the bullet chain and install it, and at the same time installed two standard units of energy storage crystals at the bottom, and began to deploy magic output.

Just looking at it, Aslan understood that the rotation of this Vulcan cannon and the loading of the bullet were all driven by the electric energy of the energy storage crystal on the left.

The energy storage crystal on the right is responsible for the electromagnetic magic circuit on the barrel.

Aslan woke up suddenly.

He has always been in a ideological misunderstanding. Bullets need gunpowder for kinetic energy to promote, especially automatic weapons. Relying on the kinetic energy of gunpowder to be unloaded and loaded, in fact, it can be completely replaced by an electric motor.

Like the Vulcan cannon in front of me.

Nigor turned the muzzle of the Vulcan cannon, and there was nothing in the huge open space except for a stone wall covered with iron plates.

There are also eye-catching red hearts drawn on the iron plate.
