The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In the eyes of ordinary people, the cloud of green smoke is nothing but the poisonous mist produced by the melting of ore impurities. The chaotic will of living beings.

Compared with the mental network which is only a vague induction, Leo's spiritual vision can clearly see that the shape of this chaotic will body is a triangle, and there is nothing special about the shape of this triangle. Triangles made of ordinary rocks are almost the same.

However, it is such a triangle that symbolizes stability and rules that brings a very contrasting sense of chaos to Leo, as if this triangle is the source of all chaos.

In addition, this chaotic will body seems to have activated a certain cycle program. It emerges from the flames of the furnace and enters the smoke. After a while, it will emerge from the smoke and return to the furnace again. The length of time to drill out of the furnace and into the furnace is exactly the same.

Seeing this scene, Leo waited until the mutated slag must have undergone some changes during the smelting process, and this change happened to stimulate some of the power left by the Outer God in the body of will, which caused the current weird situation .

If we follow Leo's rational thinking, then we must close the smelting furnace now, stop feeding materials into it, and forcibly interrupt the changes that are happening now, but Leo's curiosity stopped this rational decision. Instead, let it wait and see what happens to these slags in the end.

Leo had never seen psychic metal, and all knowledge about psychic metal came from some public information. As for the process of smelting psychic metal, he could only refer to ordinary metal smelting.

There is no data that can be used as an analysis reference, Leo can only passively wait for the result.

The smelting process went smoothly, and there were no problems in the middle, but the time spent smelting these mutated slags was several times longer than that of other slags. From morning to evening, after the observation hole changed five people, It was only after the observation technician made a gesture that the slag began to melt, and it was late at night that all the slag was completely melted.

At this time, Leo could also feel that the chaotic will body was changing, it seemed that the fluctuation of will was much weaker, and after Leo's calculation, the speed of the body circulation was also much slower, and the green smoke above the stove was even lighter. a lot.

According to the normal process, after the ore is completely smelted, other ores should be added according to the formula, and the agitator should be turned on at the same time to mix the molten iron together and clean out the impurities.

But Leo is not refining alloys, but simply refining slag, so he ordered the mixer to be directly lowered to stir the molten iron to clean up impurities.

Upon hearing the order, the technician began to direct the workers to open the top cover of the furnace and put in the mixer.

With a harsh mechanical roar, the stirrer began to stir the iron juice inside the furnace. The workers present didn't know what Leo wanted to do, but they knew very well that as long as they did things, they didn't need to ask too much.

Time passed a little bit like this. In the past hour, after replacing the two stirrers, a technician represented other technicians and workers to ask Leo what he wanted to do, because according to the normal situation, it should have been released by now. right.

But he didn't get an answer, Leo just ordered to continue to install the agitator and stir the molten iron.

In fact, Leo didn't know when to stop, he just felt that at least he had to wait until the will body in the spirit net feeling completely disappeared before it was considered complete.

In fact, before the technician came to inquire, Leo's spiritual vision could no longer see the form of the will body, and he could only vaguely sense some energy fluctuations from the mental network.

According to Leo's estimate, it won't be long before the spirit net can no longer feel the will body, but he didn't expect that the last bit of transformation would take so long, and the residual energy fluctuation of the will body lasted for nearly two days Time has just completely disappeared from the spirit network's induction.

In such a long time, workers and technicians have changed several shifts, and four or five sets of mixers used to stir molten iron have broken down. Now they have to be transferred to other old factory mixers that have not yet been modified.

In addition, some technicians also raised a concern, because the continuous opening time of the modified furnace is too long, far longer than any known furnace, although the furnace has not seen any signs of damage, but continue to do so If the refining continues, they are worried whether it will cause serious damage to the furnace that cannot be repaired.

However, even after hearing from his technicians that the furnace might burst, Leo still did not stop smelting. Instead, he ordered to increase the input of fuel to increase the temperature inside the furnace.

Although his mental network could no longer sense any fluctuations in that will body, he was still worried, so he made the most prudent and safest decision.

After the furnace raised the temperature and continued to smelt for more than two hours, someone rushed to report and told Leo that a very small crack had appeared on the top of the furnace, and the insulation layer showed signs of being peeled off. Keep going, and the furnace will most likely explode.

In fact, there is no need for this person to report. Leo already knows the specific situation inside the furnace, and even these people know better. He is very clear that because of the high temperature, some rocks that are isolated from the temperature are beginning to show signs of melting. It has affected the internal structure of the entire furnace. If this situation continues, the furnace will not explode, but will definitely explode.

Perhaps because he felt that the fire was almost ready, Leo ordered it to stop.

When they heard that Leo stopped adding fuel, everyone present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their nervousness eased a little. They were really afraid that Leo would continue, because if the fryer went down, then they These workers and technicians who work next to the furnace are the most dangerous.

As the fuel was stopped, the temperature inside the furnace dropped at an extremely abnormal speed. According to the normal situation, with the current temperature of the furnace, even if all the air holes were opened, it would take at least half a day to return to the normal temperature. However, less than ten minutes after stopping adding fuel, the temperature of the stove had dropped to a level similar to the outside temperature.

Such a fast cooling rate surprised everyone, and they were caught off guard. They never thought that the temperature would drop so fast, and even the container for molten iron was not ready yet, so after the abnormal situation occurred, , everyone froze in place, even the technician in charge of the entire forging process didn't know what to do next.

Just when everyone was feeling overwhelmed, Leo had already walked out of the office, came to the front of the furnace, and told the foreman in charge of pouring the molten iron: "Open the furnace door."

"Ah?" The foreman didn't react for a while, until Claude Lee repeated Leo's instructions again, he reacted, hurriedly yelled a few words at the surrounding men, and then ran to the operating table and started to operate The machine that opened the furnace door, others pushed the platform used to accept the furnace door over, hooked the lasso on the furnace door, and dozens of people pulled hard to remove the furnace door little by little.

After the transformation of Leo, the internal temperature of the furnace has doubled, and the internal pressure of the furnace has also doubled. The previous furnace structure can no longer withstand such a huge pressure, so the new furnace is equipped with several layers of decompression. layers and isolation layers.

The furnace door is one of the places with the greatest pressure in the furnace. Leo especially thickened the furnace door a lot, which also made the weight of the furnace door extremely huge. It is already difficult to lift it with the steam crane in the factory now. The furnace door was opened, so the workers who were responsible for opening the furnace door had to think of a way to combine human and machine power to temporarily solve this problem.

Because the furnace does not have a high temperature, the work of the workers has become much easier and the speed is much happier. The furnace door, which was originally half-disappeared to be completely removed, is now placed on the platform in less than ten minutes. to the top of the track.

At this time, all the workers in the workshop gathered, looking curiously at the already dark interior of the furnace through the water outlet of the furnace, with puzzlement and surprise written all over their faces, and some devout believers seemed to take this The incident became some kind of miracle, and they all prayed in situ,

Leo walked quickly to the water outlet of the furnace and looked in, then suddenly jumped into the furnace before everyone could react, and his behavior even stunned the butler Sanders next to him.

After everyone reacted, they squeezed to the water outlet of the furnace in an instant, looked into the dark interior, and tried to find Leo's figure, but it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

"Is he crazy?" Someone suddenly shouted in confusion.

This sentence was like a fire that ignited a dynamite bag, and it instantly blew up the workshop. Some people were discussing sending someone in and leaving Leo, others thought they should call the police immediately, and some people said Out of gloat.

The old butler also came back to his senses at this time, and without thinking much about his old body, he was ready to jump in and rescue Leo, but Claude Lee on the side quickly stopped the old butler, he knew very well, The choice is that there is no temperature in the furnace, but because the slag was smelted before, the furnace is also full of poisonous gas, even if a young person jumps, he will be poisoned immediately, let alone the elderly.

And when everyone was still discussing how to save people, a hand stretched out from the stove and clasped it on the edge of the stove, and then saw Leo quickly jumped out of the stove, stood on the edge of the stove, shaking Dust on the body.

Everyone stared at Leo dumbfounded. Apart from surprise, puzzlement and astonishment, there was more fear in their eyes, as if Leo who came out of the stove was some kind of terrifying monster.

"Don't use the stove for the time being. Find someone to fix it. I'll ask Sanjays to send over the repair drawings tomorrow." Leo ignored the strange gazes of the people around him, and gave instructions to Claude Lee who was also stunned. Then he gestured to the butler Sanjies, and then walked off the platform on the top of the furnace, walked out of the factory building, boarded the carriage, and drove away from the smelting workshop quickly after the butler got on the car.

As soon as Leo left, there were all kinds of discussions in the workshop. Obviously, Leo's performance just now made these workers classify him as non-human.

"I didn't notify you in advance. I made you worry. I'm sorry!" Leo didn't care how the workers and technicians in the workshop would react after he left. When the carriage came out of the factory, turned a corner, and drove towards the city, he recovered from his contemplation, looked at Butler Sanders with a gloomy face, and said very seriously apologize.

Although Leo was inside the stove just now, it doesn't mean he didn't know anything about what happened outside. Naturally, it wasn't until the first thing that Butler Sanjes thought of just now was to jump into the stove to rescue him.

The reason why Butler Sangers did this may be for his family. After all, if Leo dies unexpectedly, Butler Sangers will lose his job, and he and his family will return to the same state as before. But in Leo's view, no matter Why did he make such a risky move? The ultimate goal was to save him, so he felt that he had to apologize to Butler Sanjies.

"Please don't do such a dangerous thing next time." Hearing Leo's apology, Butler Sanjay's gloomy expression softened a little, but his tone was still a bit blunt.

"Okay, I see." Leo responded vaguely, and did not give any positive answer to Butler Sanjes.

Butler Sanjes could naturally hear the perfunctory attitude in Leo's words. Although he was still a little dissatisfied, he could only sigh and stop thinking about it.

The carriage quickly drove into the urban area. Under the skillful operation of the driver, the carriage nimbly drove quickly on the not very spacious road, but when it was about to reach the apartment, the carriage stopped suddenly, and then the driver knocked on the door. Knocking on the car window, when Leo and Butler Sanjes stretched out their heads to look out, they pointed to where the apartment was located.

I saw that Leo's apartment had been sealed off by the police at this moment. Among these people, besides the ordinary police, there were also people from the Special Bureau.

"Sir, do we want..." Seeing this situation, Butler Sanjes immediately asked Leo.

Before he could finish speaking, Leo waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to continue, and then walked down from the carriage, pushed aside the crowd watching, walked outside the blockade, entered the blockade, and walked towards the apartment.

At this time, several police officers in charge of the blockade saw someone breaking in, and wanted to stop Leo, but when they approached Leo, Leo just glanced at them indifferently, and they felt fear and awe for no reason. , couldn't help lowering his head, and didn't dare to take a breath, let alone stop Leo.
