Martin continued patrolling with numerous guards, and George and Anthony arrived at the workshop.
The blacksmith store had been expanded into a blacksmith workshop. It was completed almost a day before the delivery of the lords. The remodeling is not much, but it is very fine.
In fact, the workshop now compared to the original blacksmith store, only the outside shed, to the expansion of the interior. The overall area is actually increased by 30%.
But the things and utensils inside are more reasonable than before, and according to Anthony's design, part of the heat of the furnace, but also for other tool table to use.
Anthony used his wisdom, combined with the experience of the academy, will be the recycling of these heat.
And since then, the flames in those stoves inside this house have never been extinguished. Even if there is nothing to build, the fire will be kept at a certain level. Because heating up is extremely time-consuming, the fuel consumption required is also very high.
After thoroughly knocking the mud off their feet on the steps, the two entered and pushed open the door, and immediately afterwards, a searing heat came to their faces.
Although the heat has been isolated as far as possible outside the work area, but I am afraid that the temperature inside the house will reach 40 to 50 degrees... No wonder the blacksmiths in the big cities are ugly and scary looking...'
In fact, Antony even suggested that the workshop be built in the semi-basement of the castle, so that the heat would be less likely to escape...
But the condition of the castle is not enough, so it can only be put here first.
After entering the door, they saw old Duke and several apprentices, is a demolished furnace near the surrounding. A group of people with black dust on their hands and faces, lying there discussing something, even the lord came in without noticing.
"The spread of knowledge is never hard and long. But fortunately, your people are stupid, but they can still be taught." After saying that, Antony clapped his hands and came over to the blacksmiths.
After seeing Anthony come over, these craftsmen were more respectful than to the lord. George saw that the gang forgot about him, so he did not go to the front of the crowd - his robe, but Rona's new wash.
He wandered around in the workshop alone.
According to Anthony, the current furnace technology is not as good as a countryside clay workshop. Can only smelt those with very high iron content, and good melting quality ore. And even these high-quality ore, in fact, also wasted a lot.
Those left over 'slag' in his opinion, there is at least 10% of iron, which is a great waste of resources, so he then proposed to renovate this old furnace of the last century.
The main thing was to improve the use of temperature and to use the means he knew to separate the slag from the iron and to remove the large amount of impurities in the iron ingots in order to make them capable of meeting the requirements of 'fine iron.
' Here the so-called 'fine iron' should actually be steel. But Anthony's 'raw and cooked mass steel method' is not expected in the near future.'
Steel has been around for centuries. But the production has been very low. Also has been only the great nobles can refine.
But with the development of 'alchemy', the production of steel has gradually improved, but the ratio of steel to iron, or 20:1.
According to the 'alchemy technology' that George learned from Anthony, he knew that the development of technology in this world had gone down a different path, I'm afraid. The highest technical content of the alchemical furnaces studied in the academy, together with other equipment, had taken on a whole new ecology.
They call those things magic armatures!
A circulating supply of energy that can even make the forbidden sanctuary float!
And according to Anthony's description, this must have reached the 'weightlessness' technology reference.
Every bit of that knowledge was a far cry from what George understood as science, but this technology tree - or magic tree, for that matter - was not a low point!
The Forbidden Sanctuary has evolved over thousands of years, recording the legacy of those lost civilizations in the continent's history and moving forward with research. But the maestro has never been a shabby, their own acres of land outside the people, who can not enjoy the fruits of the growth of that civilization.
And because of this monopoly of technology, many things that can have more development in George's view, also stay at the level of 'toys'.
And as Anthony said, the spread of knowledge has always been long and arduous. The development of knowledge, on the other hand, lies in openness, and the transmission of civilization belongs to all.
But if you don't break the doors of that sanctuary, let those fools have a good taste of the whip. They will never take what is in their hands.
Even if it is to bring these things into the coffin with that last day...
At the level of the sanctuary, Anthony's level of study of alchemical technology can only be considered moderate - according to him, it is called 'all slightly, but not proficient'. And the 'raw and cooked dough steel method' in his opinion, is also a technology that should have been eliminated a long time ago.
But this is something that only the great nobles and the royal court know in the various kingdoms...
The equipment of the 'reserve knights' was just built last night, so this first furnace began to transform.
As for the second furnace, it has not been included in the transformation plan, because it still has a great use.
In that melting is all the silver fox.
In Anthony's view, burning money is his old job.
Prior to this, George has always believed that the secret silver is a natural mineral, but Anthony is overturned his imagination.
According to Anthony, 100 silver foxes can almost alchemize 1 piece of secret silver the size of a thumbnail, which is almost a unit of magic material in the asylum's calculation. For outlining a piece of the Word of God rune, it is almost just right.
After hearing this matter, he almost smacked Anthony on the spot. If he had known that this thing burned so much money, he definitely wouldn't have paid those Lords Silver Fox when Martin exchanged those refugees!
'According to this progress, the old man's money will be burned up today...'
George felt a little teary-eyed, but at the same time, yet he felt that the efficiency was not enough. Because after the silver fox burned, what got out is still the basic raw materials. And even with the Heavenly Servants helping this Grand Maester with his chores, the time it took for Anthony to refine it into secret silver was ten times more than the burned money.
'It also took some time to draw the Word of God rune on those weapons. But also Kan Kan was able to catch up with the plan.''
It was very hot here, and in no time, the water vapor on George's body was about to be evaporated. Even couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his head - and couldn't tell if it was rain or sweat.
When his body was almost dry, he finally felt a little unbearable. So out of this sauna, standing in the doorway to blow a cool breeze.
Not by comfortably pass out a breath.
The rain was still falling, he did not carry any rain gear, so he simply unrolled the scroll under the eaves.
[Smelting furnace transformation (a): can smelt iron ore species from 23% to 57%, ore smelting rate +10%]
[Researcher: Grand Maester Anthony + Blacksmith Duke + 7 blacksmith apprentices]
[Completion rate 17%]
[Description: Increase the burning rate, raise the temperature, and add limestone to form slag to separate iron through alchemy techniques]
[Next upgrade effect: can smelt iron ore species 57% raised to 78%, can achieve 'raw and cooked mass steel method'.
...
[Dyeing (I): This recipe of Anthony's makes the church very beautiful - I heard that the lord likes emerald color the most, but what people don't know is that it's just because he thinks of gems every time he sees emerald nan.]
...
[Farmland Transformation (I): Save labor +10%, yield +10%]
[Program provider: Grand Maester Anthony]
[Description: This work, under the guidance of a certain learned Grand Maester, is considered a mending of the fold. Now the fields, in the midst of the farmers' daily farming, the temperature, moisture and fertilizer of the green seedlings also have the most reasonable use according to his scheme. In the midst of this mid-tillage cultivation ridge, the yield has been greatly improved. Of course, if there were no those locusts, the yield would be even more...]
[Next enhancement effect: Irrigation and drainage facilities, enhanced drought and flood protection, flooding disaster will be reduced by 20% - I'm afraid it's not possible with the territory's workforce at the moment, pray that there won't be a flood coming before the harvest!
...
Herbicide (I): Yield +10%]
[Researcher: Grand Maester Anthony (Anthony is currently using the knowledge from this project to teach 'Apprentice Rona')
[Completion: 87%] [Description
[Description: After this research work is finished, those weeds most commonly found in the fields will no longer be there - although Anthony knows the knowledge, it takes a while to apply what is in the book to practice.
[Next boost effect: Many kinds of weeds will disappear, and the dead grasses will be turned into fertilizer. Yield +20%]
...
[Mushroom poisoning to get rid of aphids (I): 65% reduction in aphids, +15% potato yield
[Researcher: Apprentice Rona (Instructed by Anthony)
[Completed]
[Description: In addition to locusts, those aphids on potato seedlings have been causing you a lot of headaches. But thanks to the guidance of Grand Maester Anthony, apprentice Rona has experimented the recipe. The new recipe is currently being prepared in the hands of the servants of heaven.]
[Effect: With a modulation of 3500:1, it can kill so many bugs, so you can see how scary those strange green poisonous mushrooms collected back will be after adding a little bit of rare and weird stuff...]
[Next boost effect: Aphids are reduced by 95%, and the dead aphids will be turned into fertilizer. Potato yield +30%]
...
[Kill Cockroaches (Unknown): "Cockroaches flying bugs and stuff are the most annoying!" --Anthony has been determined to get rid of the insects ever since he ate a big cockroach in a bowl one day, but since several medications have failed, as of now, he can only take some kind of physical solution for now...]
[Eliminating locusts (unknown): At the moment, there really isn't any too good solution. We can only rely on physics to reduce this disaster - let's pray that the locust plague doesn't come before the winter harvest!
...
[Shed technology (unknown): For the idea you proposed, Anthony is still conceptualizing. Obviously, something like glazing alone won't work; it requires a whole environmental package.]
...
Since Antony came to the territory, the scrolls have appeared many researchable solutions, which can show the extent of Antony's erudition.
And this maester from the forbidden sanctuary, can be said to carry the most advanced technical knowledge in this world ...
But the ridiculous thing is that the nobles thought that what he knew was not practical... Or rather, he did not care to please the nobles.
After the rain subsided some more, George put away the scrolls and marched in the direction of the church.
In the distance, the church's steeple towered over the glazing in the light rain emitted a colored glow.
The people are working, so the door looks a little cold, only the small square near the pond in front of the door, there are a few children in the rain drilling the grass, catching grasshoppers.
George remembered that there seemed to be a baptism in the middle of the church today, which might be in progress at this time. So he made a detour and prepared to go to the back door.
As he passed the cemetery, he saw what appeared to be about a dozen lords gathered there. George quietly leaned over and looked inside the fence. They were found in front of several simple tombstones, reciting prayers after the Reverend Mother.
'Dealing with those living dead again? Oh yes, this morning I heard Jim say that there seems to be another old man in the territory died in his home, it seems to be praying together... Counting up, this should be the first person to die of natural causes in the asylum.'
Since the establishment of the church, the lordship people often organize themselves together to pray for the dead who are resting in peace again. After the dead are laid to rest, the prayers are added to the shelter.
And this prayer is not only able to enhance George's own ability to speak the truth, but also to strengthen the others.
And many other matters, these priests will often bring people to deal with. Can be said to be for George to solve a lot of annoying things.
These trivial matters, many are also related to the daily tasks, each one is dealt with, the people of the territory will increase a 'hope' in their hearts. Occasionally, when a priest is able to solve a few of the obsessions in the hearts of the people, the weekly 'hope' can even add up to an additional ten points.
George withdrew his gaze and crossed the small woods near the cemetery. And at that moment, a burst of fighting and shouting, interspersed with high hymns, also passed to his ears.
After passing through the last few trees between the cemetery and the church, the whole figure of the church appeared in his view, and in its wide backyard, it also appeared in front of his eyes.
