Release that Witch - Chapter 238

[Chapter 237 Invitation]

Back in the office, Roland immediately started drawing the new machine.

During the days when the Eighth

First Army and the witches went to the capital, he was not idle. On the contrary, Roland felt that he was busier than before.

Even if Nightingale was not around, the time alone with Anna was very little.

In addition to resettling the fugitives brought in by boat, he also asked Anna and Lucia to test the composition of the smelting products and build a new smelting furnace.

In the past, no matter whether it was ironmaking or steelmaking, it was carried out purely based on experience and feeling. The ingredients in the smelted things were unknown. Now with the help of Lucia, Roland finally has a method to accurately determine the composition of metal ingots.

With the help of the material decomposition ability, he can obtain the detailed data required for smelting through repeated comparisons, such as the stirring time after melting, the specific amount of charcoal added, and whether to add limestone and other additives to remove sulfur and phosphorus, or to add other Metal raw materials are used to obtain alloys, etc…

Based on these data, Roland can summarize the standardized process of the smelting industry, obtain iron ingots or steel products of the same quality in multiple productions, and at the same time reduce the fog of material technology disperse.

The new smelting furnace is also built for this purpose.

It is a square furnace four meters long, wide and two meters high, with the bottom sloping towards one end.

The thick outer shell is cast iron, and the inner layer is covered with clay bricks, and Soraya’s “earth” coating for excellent heat resistance.

The lowest end has a movable gate, which is pulled by a steam engine.

Considering those high-end heating methods, such as oxygen blowing and electric arc, none of them have the conditions for implementation, so the furnace is simply not equipped with any combustion device – it completely relies on Anna’s black fire to smelt molten steel.

After the raw materials are added according to the tested ratio and the smelting is completed, the molten steel is directly discharged from the tail gate.

The furnace can produce about 50 tons of molten steel at a time, and Anna can complete the smelting in just a quarter of an hour. Adding the feeding and tapping time, it only takes about half an hour. The output can basically meet the current firearms and artillery. Production.

The current smelting mode of the town is that the blast furnaces and shaft furnaces of the kiln group are responsible for producing a large amount of pig iron, which can be used in the manufacture of daily iron and steam engines, and can also be used as raw materials for further smelting in iron furnaces to produce wrought iron or steel.

…

The design drawing that Roland is currently drawing is a set of production equipment for bullet stamping—with a stable and reliable source of steel, the processing and assembly of stamping machinery no longer has hardware difficulties, and the successful trial production of mercury fulminate is even more important. The mass production of new bullets is imminent.

Although Anna’s black fire cutting is efficient and accurate, it still takes a long time for one person to complete the entire process. If the stamping machine assembly line is put into production, more than 30 ordinary people can operate it after training, and at least one day can produce Tens of thousands of bullets, and soldiers no longer need to manually reload ammunition.

After dinner, I drew for a long time, until the midnight clock sounded outside the window, and the whole set of sketches was considered to have a clue.

Of course, this is only the most preliminary conceptual design, and he doesn’t know if some details are feasible, and it needs to be tested before it can be finalized.

Normally, Roland would have already yawned repeatedly, but today he was in high spirits and didn’t feel sleepy at all.

After putting away more than a dozen pieces of draft paper, he took out the parchment attached to the letter from the five princesses from the drawer, and spread it out in front of the desk. He finally arrived at the long-awaited link—choosing the visiting witch.

The list lists the abilities of more than sixty auxiliary witches. According to Maggie, the total number of witches on Sleeping Island should be around 200 to 300. Apparently, Tilly did not list all the abilities of auxiliary witches. listed on the table.

This is also in line with a leader’s approach-proactively extend the hand of friendship instead of giving away the family’s wealth.

The other party’s ability to do this was enough to express their sincerity in forming an alliance. Roland put on a new candle and focused on checking the witch’s abilities in the appendix.

It has to be said that this was a very difficult choice to make. After many comparisons, he selected the list of five visitors.

Then Roland spread out a piece of parchment and began to write a reply letter.

“Dear sister, I am very glad to read your letter.”

“I am very excited and gratified by the decision you have made. With your help, I am a little more sure of blocking the church’s attack.”

“This is why I was able to gain the trust and support of witches—in the entire Graycastle continent, only Border Town has completely wiped out the influence of the church. The aborigines not only accepted witches, but even fought side by side with them, from resisting evil beasts. When it comes to fighting the church, my citizens and witches form an inseparable whole. Now, you can see them participating in the construction everywhere in the town. The steam engine that makes you curious is also realized with the help of witches. .This is a good sign, and all I have to do is to spread this situation to the entire western region, and even the entire kingdom.”

“For this, I must destroy the entire church, turn to dust the saying that witches are evil, and put All the people are saved from folly and ignorance. This is a long process, and I need more assistance from you.”

“As for what made me make this decision, and what made me no longer treat everything like I used to They are all indifferent, and you can talk about these trivial matters in detail when you have the opportunity. The content of the letter paper is limited, so I won’t repeat it.”

“I’m looking forward to the visit of the witches next month. Please don’t worry about safety issues. They planned a direct route to Border Town, which can completely avoid the eyes and ears of the church, and does not need to use any port. The only risk is sailing, but I think if there is Maggie leading the way ahead, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Ship The possibility of getting lost is very small. I will attach a map of the specific route and send it to Sleeping Island with Maggie.”

“After these witches arrive in Border Town, they will naturally be able to participate in the teaching of basic knowledge-the so-called knowledge promotes the evolution of witches’ abilities, I am more inclined to have a deep understanding of the world that led to their transformation, whether it is the understanding of nature, magic, or themselves. There is no doubt that every additional witch who has the ability to evolve, we fight against The church has a higher chance of winning, and I agree with you on this point.”

“Finally, I will list the five selected witches here, hoping to see them soon.”

“Shaping the Terrain——Lian ”

“Status maintenance—candlelight.”

“Brewer—Evelyn.”

“Beast tamer—honey.”

“And the Eye of Truth—Sylvie.”

“Then, I wish you all the best. Your brother, Roland Wimbledon.” (To be continued.)
