Release that Witch

183. Chapter 183 Small Town Construction Plan

    “What is this?”Nightingale asked as he looked at the black, shiny stone on the table.

    “obsidian.”Roland didn’t lift his head and concentrated on drawing the drawings in his hand.

    BlackWhat stone? ”

    “No, I am nonsense.”He sighed and looked at the shape and color. The ghost knew what the stone was. He is not studying geological exploration. Pure metal is not necessarily distinguished by him, let alone ore. The only point of knowledge in the head tells him that the ore is mostly complex compounds, impurities are different colors, take iron ore to say, red iron ore, sulfur iron ore, ling Iron ore light from the appearance of the completely called the difference miles, especially sulfur iron ore, there The time will be a light yellow metal luster, often mistaken for a gold mine, so there is also the nickname of the Fool Gold.

    As for high temperature resistance…The compound itself is not fixed in the Melting Point. It is also related to impurities and components, and it is impossible to distinguish its variety by temperature alone. Moreover, the metal element exists in an ionic state, and the purification method is not known, and it is not useful when it is burned.

    “Do you have something you don’t know?”Nightingale was surprised.

    “More,” Roland put down the quill and made himself a cup of black tea. “Do you want to drink?”

    “No,” she waved her hand. “Right, beef jerky is not delicious with grilled fish fillets. You will still have fish fillets in your drawer.”

“……”Roland was silent for a moment and decided not to hear this. This stone is also intended to be thrown to the chief alchemist Cam Schuire. Minerals are more or less radioactive. It is not a good choice to be in the office.

    After the recent evolution of Soraya’s capabilities, he found that things that could be manufactured suddenly increased a lot.

    The first is the tap water system, which is something that can greatly enhance the happiness of the residents. Think about it, after a busy day, sweating back home, wanting to clean the slimy body, but found that the water tank is empty, but also to the nearby well to fetch water, this feeling is definitely awful. Moreover, Roland is also tired of washing his hands from the water tank. He always feels that the water can be parasited for a few days in the tank, not to mention that the water tank is rarely cleaned once a month. Look carefully. When you get there, you can see the scale deposited on the bottom of the tank fluttering like a caterpillar.

    If there is a water tower to supply water, there is no technical difficulty – using the Steam engine to pump the water from the Scarlet Water River to the inside tower, and then relying on the siphon principle to flow into each household, a set of automatic water supply is formed. system. The reason Roland has not been implemented is because…Material

    If the water supply pipe is made of iron or copper, and the iron pipe is not treated with anti-rust, it will be scrapped in a few years. The copper pipe is a perfect water supply pipe, corrosion-resistant, the inner wall is not scaled, non-toxic, and even copper ions have a bactericidal effect, but the metal of the casting currency is used to make the water pipe? The output of the Northern Slope Mine is far from being extravagant. Even in the afterlife, copper pipes are something that high-end homes will consider.

    At present, Border Town is not only unable to export minerals, but even to import metal ingots. Therefore, whether it is iron pipe or copper pipe, Roland is reluctant to build a water supply system that can not benefit, purely for enjoyment.

    But now, with Soraya’s coating, it means that he can empty the white wolf and use magic power to produce water pipes – for example, taking a steel pipe as a mold, wrapping the paper on the outside, and then covering the coating with Soraya. After the mold is pulled out, it becomes a pipe. Even if such a water pipe does not resist pressure, it can be placed in a water pipe groove with a cover.

    The second is the power supply system…I am afraid that there is no way to popularize the whole town in a short time, but letting the castle be filled with light has always been what Roland wants to achieve. Reading with a weak Candlelight is too painful, and it hurts the eyes very much, plus summer is coming, sultry What kind of feeling is it to be filled with torches and candles at night?

    With generators and wires now, it seems that the castle has entered the electrical age ahead of time. As for the filament of the bulb…He vaguely remembers that before the use of tungsten wire, carbonized bamboo wire was commonly used to make incandescent lamps. Bamboo is not a rarity, it is found in the woodlands south of the Scarlet Water River.

    However, what Border Town is most in need of now is the iron and steel facility. The production of iron is directly related to the scale of machinery production and weapons manufacturing, and is also the basis for the survival of small town.

    “This is what you painted…A tower? ”Nightingale sat at the table and asked curiously.

    “Almost,” Roland nodded. “But it’s empty inside, it’s used to fill fuel and ore, and it can be used to smelt iron ore into pig iron like a shaft furnace.”

    This is the upgraded version of the blast furnace, the ancient shaft furnace.

    The shaft furnace designed and manufactured by Lowes had been seen at the construction site. To be honest, in addition to the small capacity and low furnace temperature, the furnace is very close to the blast furnace. If it is not Soraya’s evolution, the small town has a fireproof production. The ability of the bricks, he had intended to build more than ten such shaft furnaces.

    With refractory bricks, it is natural to consider a blast furnace with a higher furnace temperature and a larger output.

    The newly designed blast furnace is nearly eight meters high, four times as much as the shaft furnace; the furnace body is tower-shaped, and the inner diameter is three meters at the maximum. To prevent collapse, the bottom has a support frame. The wall of the furnace is thin and thick, and the thickness of the furnace is half a meter. The innermost layer is made of Soraya-coated refractory bricks. At the same time, there is a ring of air vents, and the Steam engine draws air into the belly.

    To take full advantage of the power of the Steam engine, Roland also designed an automatic feeding device for the blast furnace, including a climbing rail and a special delivery truck with a movable door at the bottom. After the car climbs to the top of the furnace under the traction of the Steam engine, the buckle at the bottom of the car is hooked into the sinking port, which opens the pouring port and dumps the fuel or ore into the furnace. For this era, the system is considered to be the top technology.

    Unlike large openings and low-heat shaft furnaces, once the blast furnace is put into production, it will not stop operating for a long time. It must be continuously invested in fuel and ore, and the output is much higher than that of the shaft furnace. As long as five or six such blast furnaces are built, the small iron production of small town will multiply.

……

    Drawing a complete drawing, Roland rubbed some sallow wrists and took a box from under the table and pushed it to her.

    Nightingale groaned, “Is this…?”

    “hmm…I was going to give it to you earlier, but it took a while to engrave the pattern. After all, the machines in the factory were not too skilled for me to use,” Roland smiled. “Open it.” ”

    She reached out and opened the box and couldn’t help but make a surprise.

    I saw two revolvers placed in the left and right sides – unlike the model guns used by Carter on the day of the test, the two pistols were silvery, the surface was so bright that the figure was visible, and the handle and the gun body were beautifully engraved. The pattern is also printed with the name of Nightingale on the barrel: “To Veronica”.

    This plan has been brewing for a long time in Roland’s head. Compared with the inconvenient and troublesome front-loading flintlock, the newly developed revolver has been perfected, both in terms of safety and firing rate. Like Nightingale, this highly actionable witch, the power of the gun in her hands, is something to look forward to.

    “Thank you,” she smiled as she picked up the two pistols and jumped off the table, compared to a shot. “Do you teach me how to use them?”

    “Of course,” Roland nodded. The other side’s white thorns customer service added a glaring smile, let him instantly understand what is handsome to no friends, “It is not difficult, just sneak into the target, pull the trigger, at the same time High shouting is already in the afternoon.”
