Release that Witch

182. Chapter 182 Shaft Furnace

    Any coating that forms a solid continuous film as long as it covers the surface of the object can be referred to as a coating. The coating itself can be in a gaseous, liquid, solid state, and its use varies. From the original aesthetic decoration to the durability of the protected objects, it is considered a kind of coating.

    Roland then launched a series of tests.

    The test results made him very happy. It was probably influenced by the idea that “the painting can be saved as long as possible.” The previous photo paintings were difficult to completely remove without destroying the carrier, and the ability after evolution is even more Features have been elevated to new heights.

    First of all, this high-viscosity, light-weight “pigment” exhibits two distinct properties in terms of physical properties – it can change the qualitative flexibility of its own material depending on the subject of the painting, such as when painting the sky or clouds. It is as soft as cotton candy and is extremely resistant to stretching and shearing. When it is replaced by iron ingots or glass, it becomes hard and brittle and can be broken directly with a hammer. In other words, due to quality limitations, it performs far better than rigidity in terms of flexibility, which is also in line with Soraya’s understanding of pigments.

    Secondly, no matter which characteristic is exhibited, its chemical properties are very stable, not only does it react with dilute sulfuric acid or dilute nitric acid, but also exhibits water and oil repellency. When he filled a paint-coated carton with water, the thin bottom of the box showed no signs of water seepage. After pouring out the water, the clear liquid beads roll in the box, like the dew on the lotus leaf. At this point, touch the bottom with your finger and it feels still dry.

    In the anti-high temperature test, Anna dripped the molten iron into the paper box, and the paper as the carrier suddenly burned, and the coating itself did not change much except that it was stretched by molten iron. Until Anna’s black fire continued to heat up the burning coating, it began to melt and deform, while white smoke emerged, and finally turned into a black gel.

    What is most exciting for Roland is that the coating is also insulative. It can be seen as a post-production enameled wire after wrapping the copper wire. He proved this with the simple DC generator in the yard.

    At this point, Roland has a complete understanding of Soraya’s new capabilities.

    Unlike Anna’s black fire that goes beyond Green Flame in all aspects, her ability to evolve is more like an extension of her previous painting skills. Now she can draw realistic “oil paintings” or draw thin ones before. The “photographing”, which depends only on the thoughts in her mind, can be used in parallel.

    In addition, when drawing a thickness of the picture, if the thickness is controlled below one centimeter, Soraya can almost continuously draw for several hours. Once more than three centimeters, the magic power consumption will increase rapidly, reaching a threshold after ten centimeters, and almost one or two strokes can be drawn with almost all of the magic power. Of course, from another perspective, this is also the fastest and most effective method of catharsis when facing magic power phagosomes.

    It still belongs to the Summon type ability. Within the effective range of the God Punishment Stone, the Magic Pen will suddenly disappear and Soraya will no longer be able to draw new patterns. However, the coatings that have been drawn are not affected by the God Punishment Stone. Under the observation of Nightingale, there is no trace of magic power remaining—in other words, the material produced by Magic Pen is real.

    As for the use of coatings…That’s too much. Soraya would never have imagined how much her new abilities could bring to small towns, which means that Roland can quickly get a batch of water-coated pipes coated with rust-proof materials, as well as large bundles of enameled wires, even high temperature resistant fire protection. brick. The three-way project (water, electricity, and access) that seemed to be out of reach, suddenly saw the dawn.

    At the same time, this also gave him a reminder: the cognition of personal experience is far more profound than the axioms in books.

    If we can make witches more visually see the microcosm, will it accelerate their acceptance of the particle theory process and trigger a new round of evolution? Such asA microscope that can observe cell structure and microorganisms.

    Roland felt it necessary to try something.

    Northern Slope furnace group.

    Blast Let the fire burn a little more! ”Lowes shouted.

    Although I couldn’t see the sight in the shaft furnace, as the three-car charcoal poured in, the iron inside should have been burnt red.

    When a letter from Karl van Bate was called to Border Town, he thought it was a deserted and barren land. If it wasn’t on the letter that Stonemason might be reborn here, he would not want to go outside the border of the kingdom. Return to the old business.

    After leaving the family and cleaning up the luggage set off, he has already prepared for drinking porridge and living in tents. As for no one, no money, no money, it is a problem often encountered during construction.

    Lowes also didn’t plan to stay in Border Town for a long time. Check out Karl, the old friend who has known for many years, and see if Stonemason will be exiled or reclusive. He is satisfied.

    But the reality is always so incredible.

    After arriving at small town by boat, he met Karl van Bate at the dock, the outstanding Stonemason of Greycastle Kingdom Capital, and a strong contender for the next leader of the guild. Compared with the appearance in memory, he had white hair on his horns and a few wrinkles on his face, but his body was not thin, but he was a lot stronger, and his face even had shine.

    After a bit of chilling, Karl did not take him to the noisy construction site, but led him to a clearly new residential building, and handed over a key saying: “This room is yours, first Put the luggage, let’s go to the pub and have a drink.”

……Then Lowes heard a series of incredible stories from the other side.

    As a civilian, Karl was recruited into the City Hall by feudal lord, becoming an official with a fixed monthly salary and the head of the Ministry of Construction!

    If you stay with yourself, you can also work in City Hall!

    Free one set of housing!

    After ten years of work, you can get a retirement allowance! What is a retirement allowance? Just don’t work, you can take money!

    Lowes thought that Karl was drunk, and he didn’t expect it…What he said is true.

    “Adults, the ore is melting, I saw the flow of molten iron!”The worker at the top of the stove shouted.

    “Open the slag drain!”

    After working, the problems that Lowes envisaged did not appear at all. Not only did people ask people to give money, but they also gave money, and they gave it very quickly. Often, after applying, they will get a reply the next day. In addition, this place also produces a kind of alchemy material called cement, which can quickly bond the masonry, making the construction speed soaring. He feels an unprecedented happiness here.

    In just one month, Lowes built five furnaces with blast sacs and three shaft furnaces for iron making.

    The shaft furnace in front of him is the work he has been thinking about for many years after he left the Stonemason meeting. He thought that he could only pass on the drawings in the form of drawings. I didn’t expect to have a day of finished products.

    The improved shaft furnace is nearly two meters high and has an internal diameter of about seventy-five centimeters. There are a plurality of tuyères at the bottom of the furnace body, which can be used for blasting and pumping, and a slag discharge port and a molten iron flow outlet are left at the bottom. Next to the shaft furnace, there is also a slope made of sandstone, which is convenient for workers to feed and observe the situation in the furnace.

    Today is the day when the first shaft furnace was officially put into use. Before the furnace is opened, a smelting inspection should be carried out according to the usual practice.

    After opening and closing the slag opening more than ten times intermittently, and adding two cars of charcoal to the furnace, the inspection was basically declared qualified – there was already molten iron in the furnace, and the slag discharge was unimpeded, and the temperature could meet the smelting needs at the moment. There is no need to continue to waste charcoal burning. After all, in order to reduce the loss, the first time the furnace is inspected, the waste mines in the corner of the yard are used.

    Open the taphole to drain the molten iron, and Lowes announced that it would be shut down.

……

    Two days later, the townspeople who cleaned the hearth laid out a few dark colored stones. Under the high temperature baking, other waste mines have been reduced by several laps. However, these pieces of ore have not changed much when they are just thrown in. On the contrary, the surface is brighter and blacker than the ink.

    Lowes can’t judge what kind of ore it is. It’s useless waste mine. Its shape and appearance are really flattering. It’s not like it’s useless. If it’s useful, if it can’t be melted, how can it be made? ? After thinking about it, he simply picked out a piece of ore with the most square shape, wrapped it in a cloth, and let his men go to the castle and hand it over to Border Town feudal lord Roland Wimbledon.

    Perhaps the well-informed feudal lord knows the answer.
