Things From Another World

46. 46 chapter how steel is made

In the evening, a small celebration party is being held in the House of Lords.

Elsa sat in the corner and sipped her juice. Elia was looking for something delicious next to her, ready to bring her back, and Brian and Edgar were drinking red light, and even better, Fio Na is not so angry.

Dunn then threw a message.

“What? You want to build a charcoal factory?”

Fiona stunned: “Are you crazy?”

“Of course I am not crazy, what happened?”

“What did you ask me?”

Fiona slammed her finger to Dunn: “The previous farmer’s subsidy cost almost a thousand gold coins. The guard’s salary and bonuses were sent out to more than 2,000 gold coins. Then we have to establish a chamber of commerce and a mint. The sugar factory is waiting to be established. These conservative estimates will cost 10,000 gold coins – my lord, even if there are still a lot of gold coins left by Hogg, I can’t stand the flowers like you, don’t forget that we don’t have it yet. What income? This month’s tax revenues add up to less than a thousand gold coins! If you go on like this for more than 10,000 gold coins a year, you will spend it in a few days!”

Dunn smiled a little: “When the Chamber of Commerce is established, there is income.”

Fiona sighed: “That should be built on the fact that we have enough goods, and we have to make sure our goods are attractive enough.”

“You have no confidence in mints and soap?”

“With confidence, but to rely on these two products to support a chamber of commerce, there is still a territory that is not enough.”

Fiona stared at Dunn: “We still need more products, more valuable products…say, magic scrolls?”

Fiona certainly didn’t forget that Dunn was a powerful mage. If he could make a few powerful magic scrolls, such as the fourth-order magic scroll that was used to scare Buck, you can make a lot of money by selling a few!

“The magic scrolls don’t think about it for a while – at least not for sale.”

Dunn shook his head. He didn’t know what rules the world’s magician obeyed. If he rushed into the market of magic scrolls, he might be resisted by other magicians, which is bad for Dunn’s development.

“Well, anyway, you are the lord, what you said.”

Fiona didn’t open her head.

Dunn was smirking, and Fiona looked like a cute little girl when she was angry, always letting Dunn have the urge to tease her.

Fiona waited for a long time, did not wait for Dunn’s comfort, but had to scream at him with a sigh of relief, this incomprehensible fool!

“Talk about why you should build a charcoal factory. It will be summer soon. If charcoal is burned out, it will be useless. It is a waste of gold coins!”

“Because I want to make steel.”

Dunn’s answer is simple.

“steel?”

Fiona had never heard of this uncommon word, a bit confused.

“Yes, a material that is harder and more versatile than iron, can be used to forge armor, or it can be used to make other utensils, such as… tableware, kitchen utensils, or other, in short, this material. The use is very wide.”

Dunn explained it briefly, but I didn’t expect that Fiona had no reaction. Brian and Edgar, who were drinking, heard that Dunn said a new type of material, and a stunned person was a little clear.

“Big brother! You want to refine new materials!?”

Brian’s eyes are blue: “What do I need to do!? Despite the instructions!”

“Lord Lord! What does this new type of material have to do with charcoal!?”

Edgar is closer to the core.

“Yeah,” Fiona brows tightly. “What does steel have to do with charcoal?”

“Of course, iron ore and charcoal, as well as limestone, are indispensable.”

Dunn smiled. Although he had not studied steelmaking, he also heard about the original method of steelmaking. Naturally, he knew the principle of steelmaking.

Steel, which is exactly iron-carbon alloy, differs from iron in the content of carbon. In the furnace, charcoal is blown in, the excess carbon in the iron is removed by charcoal, and the waste is discharged by adding lime to make the residue. It’s steel. Of course, the special steel Dunn is not considered now. Dunn, a rare metal such as chromium, manganese and molybdenum, has never been seen before, let alone extract it.

All he needs now is some basic steel.

Dunn didn’t explain too much to Fiona. He just said: “The charcoal factory must be built. The steel mill is the most important development of Ellington in the future. It must be put on the agenda. In addition, these two plants Be as far away as possible from towns, because they will produce a lot of pollution.”[e1]

“……I understand.”

Fiona had to compromise with Dunn.

Dunn also knows that he is like a duck, but not steel.

Plandal certainly has magical metal with superior performance. However, magic metal is too rare and expensive on the one hand, and metal that is strictly controlled by monopoly on the other hand. It is difficult to popularize.

Steel is not the same. The steel that is made from iron can be used not only to produce armor and weapons, but also to have magic metal veins in the later stage. Steel can continue to shine in the civilian field.

This is a proven thing on earth. Steel is the material basis of modern society. It has important uses in every field. Even when steel production was used to measure whether a country is strong, Dunn did not doubt this.

“Oh, that, refining steel is of course a good thing, but I want to tell the lord an adult…”

Edgar raised his hand weakly.

“You said.”

Edgar’s face looked like: “The Lord, we…no iron ore.”

“puff!”

Dunn stunned: “How is it possible??”

“Lord Lord!”

Edgar was very wronged: “You haven’t counted how much iron ore we have recently consumed? First, I made a lot of iron tools, and then made such a big waterwheel. You also took some iron ingots. For the lord, the bills for the iron bars I have already handed over to Miss Fiona – I have been in Ellington for so many years, this is the largest batch of iron ore I have consumed in a short time!”

Edgar smirked and said: “If the lord of the lord still wants to use iron ore to make steel, I am afraid that I will wait until a month later to buy a new batch of iron ore.”

“are you kidding me!?”

Dunn’s eyes widened: “I don’t say anything in Ellington. I remember that there is an iron mine not far from the west of Ellington. There is an iron mine, you don’t have iron ore!”

“Ah? Lord, do you know the mine?”

Edgar snorted: “But nobody else told you?”

“Tell me what? Fiona?”

Fiona looked blank: “I don’t know… what happened to the mine?”

Edgar said with a strange look: “The iron mine… was occupied by the Duviere Baron of Caspermi Fort in the north.”

Dunn looked at youTM and teased me: “The lord of Kaspermi Fort, the hand came here, and Hogg didn’t react at all!”

At this time, Elsa interjected: “When Hogg was in office, the mine was occupied by a group of Warcraft, he directly abandoned it. Later, a group of mercenaries in Kaspermiol cleared the mine, and the Baron Duvier learned the news. The homeopathic iron mine began to excavate. It was already late after Hogg got the news. The soldiers and slaves of the Baron Duviere had already occupied the entire mine. The Baron Hogger attacked several times and died after dozens of people. Later Just give up.”

After listening to Elsa’s explanation, Dunn had a painful egg. He had never asked the mine before. He thought that the mine had been running normally and was transporting iron ore to Ellington.

I want to think of this TM damn Hogg, death is dead and the ghost is not scattered, throw yourself such a mess!

Dunn is not good, the mine belongs to the property of Ellington, that is to say, belongs to his property!

Now that the Baron Duvier dared to plunder his own wealth, how can this be forbearing!

Although iron ore and copper ore are among the most basic ores, they are also important, especially iron mines are also related to Dunn’s steelmaking plan, which must be retaken!

“Elsa, tomorrow’s training program is cancelled.”

“what?”

Elsa stunned and immediately understood what Dunn meant: “Lord Lord, you want to…”

“Yes, what belongs to me, no one can take it, whoever dares to move me, I want him to come back ten times.”

Dunn said faintly: “Not to mention, even in the Imperial Law, the iron mine is my property, Baron Duviee ignores the law of the Empire, openly robs my wealth, Fiona, in the law of the Empire What can I do in France?”

Fiona looked at Dunn’s side face and smiled: “Of course, with a tooth and a tooth, blood and blood, grab it back.”

“Yes, the rules of the Imperial Law are very clear. If a private property of a nobleman is violated, you can use force to defend your rights and regain your wealth.”

Dunn smiled, this smile, a bit cold: “I think the Baron Duvier had already thought of this result when he started.”

Brian laughed: “Big brother, it seems that he is not afraid of you, or he should converge after hearing the news of your appointment.”

“Then let us know how terrible the anger of Lord Ellington is.”

Dunn patted Brian: “Dwarfs should be very interested in the mine? Is there any interest in going shopping with me? Relax?”

“of course!”

Brian snorted and sipped the ale in the glass, and slammed it on the table: “My warhammer has long been untold!”

“Elsa, the guards will be assembled tomorrow, I want to see everyone.”

Dunn shook his glass and drank the wine. He slammed into a broken glass in his hand.

Dunn said calmly: “We want to recapture the iron mine.”

“Wow!”

Yi Liya exclaimed, her eyes lit up and applauded: “The big brother of the Lord is so handsome! Come again! Come again!”

Dunn, Elsa, Fiona, Brian, Edgar, Tina: “…” ===
