Chapter 212 Iron Heart 6

When Paul heard the blacksmith shout that the molten iron could be produced, he immediately ran to the furnace door and stared closely, and others also came over.

The furnace door of the blast furnace was opened, and a hot wave of heat rushed in, followed by the red and dazzling molten iron, just like boiling magma, and many people were frightened and stepped back.

The molten iron was introduced into the sand mold, where it gradually cooled into pieces of iron ingots.

Paul looked happy. Although only pig iron was produced now, and blacksmiths still needed to do various manual processing before it could be used, compared with the traditional smelting process in this world, this was already an epoch-making progress.

Other visitors were amazed, and many people saw this scene for the first time.

"Herman!"

"Yes, Lord Graman."

"Take this iron and make a sword for me. I want to see the quality of the iron we smelted."

"Yes!"

Paul summoned the craftsmen present and encouraged them to keep up the good work and improve the production capacity of the ironworks.

He gave Conrad a bag of silver coins as a bonus, and asked him to assess the contributions of everyone and distribute the silver coins.

Amidst the cheers of "Long live the king", Paul led a group of visitors to leave the valley, and Guy Burns also returned to Lake Town with Paul.

"My Lord Earl."

Hansel approached Paul with a shameless face.

"You have once again realized the plan you showed me at that time. I was a little bit unconvinced about the iron smelting content before. Now I would not be surprised even if you can instantly conjure up a warehouse of swords and armor."

"Haha, then I would become a wizard, and the church would send me to the stake."

"If you really have that ability, it is estimated that the church will not have time to win you over. Let's talk about business, the royal family..."

This guy is, after all, a representative sent by the royal family to his side, and he is still thinking about his career!

Several batches of food have been sent, but so far the royal family does not seem to have provided him with any direct help.

But Hansel is still worth winning over. He worked hard and effectively to recruit people for Arda in the capital, and he also brought in a lot of refugees.

"Oh! You mean His Majesty the King, don't worry, I won't forget it."

Paul patted Hansel's shoulder and made a promise.

"When we build a few more blast furnaces, the iron produced in those furnaces will be supplied to His Majesty's army."

Hansel smiled happily.

"I know that you are loyal to His Majesty the King. Even the Lord of Light will be moved by you. Lord Earl..."

Hansel was trying to get close to Paul, but was interrupted by others.

"Sir Abbott, Sir Abbott, I have something to say to Lord Graman, can I come first..."

Guy Burns inserted himself between the two of them a little anxiously.

Hansel frowned slightly in displeasure. This mechanic was too ignorant of the expression, but this guy was very favored recently.

He immediately returned to his smiling expression and extended a hand, "Please, Mr. Burns."

"Then I'll be welcome, thank you. Lord Graman, I have something to say to you."

"Oh? What is it?"

Paul was very curious. Burns had been silent since he left the ironworks, and seemed to be brewing something in his mind.

"Do you remember that day in the office, you pointed to the boiling kettle and asked me to take a closer look?"

"Oh, you mean that! Did you see anything?"

Paul was a little surprised, no way! He really saw something?

"Yes, sir! I saw it! It's the future! I saw the future!"

Burns slapped his thigh, and his face suddenly became a little excited.

"What do you mean by the future?"

"Steam, use steam to provide power, and make machines like windmills and waterwheels!"

Shock! Paul was shocked. He didn't expect that he really figured it out.

"Burns, you are such a genius, you actually discovered it yourself!"

Burns held his hands on his chest and admired Paul.

"No, no, it was you who thought of this first, it's really a bold and creative idea, I really admire you."

"Haha, you are definitely a natural mechanic!"

"You are the Earl..."

Suddenly, a disdainful remark came from the side: "Tsk! What kind of creativity is this."

No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

Burns was furious and turned his head to find the person who made the sound. It turned out to be the female consultant Betty Dias who was walking behind them.

Seeing that the other party was a beautiful lady, he couldn't continue to get angry.

"Miss Consultant, I admit that you are very knowledgeable, but what you said is a bit biased!"

Paul also stared at her with an expression of "Tell me what this is if this is not creativity."

Irene had been listening to their conversation, and later she couldn't stand their mutual flattery, so she decided to let them know what it meant to have someone better than you, especially Paul Graman, whose series of inventions made him forget himself recently. But his inventions are indeed very useful.

"I'm not biased. People have used steam as a power source for a long time, and it was more than a thousand years ago."

Irene's words successfully attracted the attention of the two.

"It is recorded in historical books that before the Gubera Empire, a sage named Luo Xi created a device called a 'steam ball'. After boiling water, the ball above could continue to rotate. Later, he also used Steam power creates a rotating temple When believers want to enter the temple, as long as they provide some offerings, the people hiding in the dark will open the passage of steam, and the temple door will rotate and open, as if there is an invisible magical force opening the door. . It’s a pity that his inventions were lost.”

Paul was secretly surprised. It turned out that someone really realized the role of steam. Unfortunately, the technology of more than a thousand years ago was not enough to create a real steam engine, and it could not be used for production at all.

He waved his hands and pretended to be disdainful: "Those are just toys and show-offs. The 'steam engine' I want to build is not that kind of gadget."

Burns kept nodding.

"Steam engine? What a good name. Yes, Miss Consultant, the purpose of the Earl and us is to create a machine that can continuously provide power like windmills and waterwheels and can save a lot of manpower."

Erin looked unbelieving.

"Hmph! A fantasy! The power of wind and water cannot be compared to soft steam! The deeds of Sage Luo Xi are just legends. Isn't that right, Ladi?"

Another female consultant said with some embarrassment: "Well...Betty, although I can't imagine what a 'steam engine' should look like, I believe that the Earl can definitely make it."

"Ah? You don't stand by my side, let's see how I deal with you..."

"Ah~~"

Ignoring the fight between the two women, Paul said to Burns apologetically: "You can see that the potential of steam is great, but I don't plan to engage in this at this stage..."

"Why, lord count?"

Burns was in disbelief.
