Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

In fact, rather than saying that what Bruno exchanged was a detailed method of producing steel, what he exchanged was a complete industrial system from the production of pig iron, wrought iron to steel.

Because it contains not only the principles and raw material ratios for refining steel, but also the construction drawings of iron-making facilities that were very common in the previous life, such as iron-making blast furnaces.

Of course, in addition, there is no shortage of construction drawings for blowers and iron furnaces.

However, it is obviously impossible to copy these supporting facilities as they are. After all, there are some conditions that are difficult to achieve simply by relying on the current technical level of Idar.

These difficulties need to be overcome by the mage apprentices of Idar.

Idar Territory is Bruno's territory, and the mage apprentices are all Bruno's students, so...

As a teacher, Bruno assigns some tasks to students, not for Bruno himself, but to enhance the students' comprehensive quality, improve the students' hands-on practical ability, cultivate the students' teamwork spirit, and let these mage apprentices We will grow into a qualified mage with all-round development as soon as possible.

no problem!

This makes perfect sense!

Therefore, after the magic crystal bomb was developed, assisting craftsmen in completing the construction of Idar's ironmaking industry has become a new task for these mage apprentices.

However, the magic circle that needs to be drawn to build an iron smelting factory is actually much simpler than the magic circle that is drawn on the magic crystal bomb.

After all, the compression array required to make the magic crystal bomb is exquisite and ingenious.

It not only has strict regulations on the effect of the magic circle, but also has almost strict requirements on the shape and area of ​​the magic crystal due to the volume limitations of the magic crystal itself.

However, when the apprentices drew the magic circles on iron-making facilities such as blast furnaces and blowers, they no longer had such worries.

After all... things like iron-making blast furnaces are all big, so the core issue that the mage apprentices are concerned about naturally shifts from reducing the area of ​​​​the magic circle to the reasonable combination of different magic circles.

The reasonable combination of the magic circle is extremely important for the normal progress of ironmaking.

For example, the blower required during ironmaking requires close cooperation between the heating array and the array capable of generating wind conditions, so as to stably deliver preheated air to the ironmaking blast furnace.

If there is no blower to provide sufficient oxygen for the iron-making blast furnace to assist combustion, then the furnace temperature in the iron-making blast furnace will be difficult to achieve the purpose of iron-making.

Moreover, a very important point is that the air must be preheated by the heating array!

If only normal-temperature air is introduced into the iron-making blast furnace, then this normal-temperature air will undoubtedly need to be heated in the iron-making blast furnace, and by the time the air is finally heated to meet the requirements of iron-making, it will have already risen to The top of the blast furnace is then vented into the air...

As a result, the temperature inside the blast furnace will be difficult to reach the temperature conditions required for ironmaking.

This requires preheating before the air is introduced into the blast furnace, so that the air after entering the blast furnace can directly reach or reach the temperature required for ironmaking in a very short period of time.

You know, even when the steel refining technology was extremely advanced in the previous generation, the air preheating step could never be omitted.

Therefore, this requires the mage apprentices to draw a variety of different magic circles in the blower, and these magic circles cannot be allowed to affect each other!

However, these problems are almost worth mentioning in front of the extremely talented Anel.

Bruno sometimes even thinks that if the world he lives in is a fantasy novel, then Arnel may be the protagonist of this novel.

He ran away from home after being suppressed by others, but he made rapid progress after being encouraged by others. His extraordinary mental power enabled him to conceive of a magic circle that transcended the limitations of his thinking. This is definitely a perfect template for the protagonist!

Therefore, among Idar's mage apprentices, a prototype of a team has been basically formed, which Anel is responsible for conceiving and the mage apprentices are responsible for drawing.

With Anel's strong mental power and logical thinking ability, the drawing of magic circles on facilities such as blowers and iron-making blast furnaces has progressed very quickly.

Therefore, when the overall construction progress of the iron-making plant is basically completed, all the refugees who poured into the Idar territory can just be taken to the Glen Highlands for iron-making and mining.

The residents living in the Glen Highlands basically serve the ironmaking industry in the Glen Highlands.

Most of them are refugees from outside the Idar Territory. After being registered and inspected by the Idar Immigration Administration, they became temporary residents of the Idar Territory.

For these temporary residents of Idar Territory, Bruno also adopted a work point system similar to that of the production team.

Only when their work points have reached certain requirements and they have lived in Idar Territory for more than one year, can they apply to the Idar Immigration Administration to become official residents of Idar Territory and enjoy the same benefits as Idar civilians. treatment.

Their main task is to exploit the rich mineral deposits in the Grand Highlands and provide enough labor for the Idar Ironworks in the Grand Highlands.

The iron-making plant located on the Glen Highlands was officially opened three days ago.

And when the iron-making plant located in the Glen Highlands began to gradually operate, a large amount of exhaust gas discharged from the iron-making blast furnace began to shroud the sky above the iron-making plant.

However, because the scale of the iron-making factory is still very limited, these gases do not form a large haze, but gradually dissipate in the air and blend into the surrounding environment.

Bruno stood in the open space outside the ironworks, looking at the light smoke that enveloped the ironworks, and couldn't help but be in a trance.

Although the smog in the previous life was very annoying, but... this also means that the Idar Territory finally stumbled into the door of the industrial age on this day!

Today is actually Bruno's first time to personally visit the iron-making factory in the Grand Highlands. Looking at the huge iron-making blast furnaces that are more than ten meters high, he only feels that the technology tree of Idar is thriving under his careful care.

The blower will pass the preheated air into the ironmaking blast furnace. In the ironmaking blast furnace, the charcoal and iron ore have long been burned by the heat. Coupled with the preheated air, the temperature inside the blast furnace will suddenly increase. It rose in vain under the influence of the magic circle and many fuels.

Although Idarling has long developed heating arrays, these heating arrays have not been widely used in iron smelting plants. They are only used on blowers in order to reduce the loss of fuel, to a certain extent. Reduce costs.

After all, in this world, magic can be said to be the cheapest energy in nature.

Whether you can see it or not, it is always floating in the air.

However, the shortcomings of magic are also obvious.

That is, the magic element in the air is relatively thin and cannot support the large-scale consumption of magic power such as the iron-making blast furnace. It is difficult to heat the iron-making blast furnace to the required temperature, so it can only be used in blowers.

However, traditional fuels such as coal are still used to heat iron-making blast furnaces.

This is why when building the ironworks, the mage apprentices, who had always been the protagonists, only played a supporting role this time.

Therefore, before finding a way to collect and absorb a large amount of magic power, the main function of the magic circle drawn by the Idar people on the iron-making blast furnace is to maintain a constant temperature in the blast furnace and slow down the loss of heat...

After the high-temperature heating of the iron-making blast furnace, the hot furnace temperature will melt the ore to form molten iron. At this time, workers will carefully open the movable valve at the bottom of the blast furnace, allowing the already-burnt orange-hot molten iron to flow along the long-awaited path. Outflow from laid pipes.

After the slag is filtered and the molten iron is cooled, the resulting pig iron is lumped.

As for the rest of the molten iron, it will flow into a specially designed steel frying furnace.

The molten pig iron is then stirred through a circular stirring facility driven by hydraulic power, thereby accelerating the reaction of carbon, silicon, manganese and other impurities in the molten iron with the oxygen in the air, so that the molten pig iron contains carbon elements. The impurities of the Lord are gradually stripped out of it.

Then after a few simple steps such as forging and tempering, a furnace of good steel will be produced.

The difference between steel and iron is mainly reflected in the carbon content.

Pig iron contains more than 2.0% carbon, while steel contains less than 2.0% carbon.

Because of its high carbon content, pig iron is hard, brittle, and has little plasticity.

However, steel with a carbon content of less than 2.0% not only has good plasticity, but also has excellent physical and chemical application properties such as high strength, good toughness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance.

Although the steel refined through this method is definitely not comparable to the steel Bruno had seen in his previous life, it is still unique in this era.

After all, in a place where such high-quality steel can be refined nowadays, UU Reading www. uukanｓhu.net I'm afraid only Idar can lead it.

And once steel is available, both the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of Idar Territory and the infrastructure construction of Idar Territory will undergo a qualitative leap!

This also means that in the future, the weapons of Idar soldiers will gradually get rid of the soft short sword and develop in other directions.

In fact, Bruno had long disliked the dagger held in the hands of the Idar soldiers!

Although this standard dagger of the Norman Empire has blades on both sides and is easy to kill the enemy, it can only be used for chopping, and it requires a lot of effort to use.

Therefore, compared to this, Bruno plans to make a batch of knives.

Although the knife only has a single edge, it is more flexible to use than a dagger. It can chop and cut, and can also pick and stab. Moreover, it does not require too much effort to kill the enemy, so it can be carried It’s also very lightweight!

But the most important thing is that allowing soldiers to carry lighter knives is more consistent with Bruno's next plan to equip soldiers with weapons!
