System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1248 - 334: The Lord of Slaughter and Atrocities? (10,000 Words) (Part 3)

Lynn’s gaze swept over the open space; once he’d finished planning the Construction scheme—

without the slightest hesitation, he took the Cross Pickaxe from the hands of a burly Blacksmith Apprentice.

He set his legs one before the other, gripped the Cross Pickaxe handle with his hands staggered front and back, then lifted it high.

Under the eyes of Ehrelo and the surrounding Blacksmith Apprentices, he made use of the weight of the Cross Pickaxe, the Power in his arms, and the Power in his waist.

The Cross Pickaxe swung down viciously.

Crack~

With the sound of stone shattering and earth being broken open, the flat pick edge of the Cross Pickaxe buried itself in an instant.

Lynn released his left hand; with a motion of his right, he pushed the Cross Pickaxe handle forward.

Under Lynn’s driving Power, a big heap of soil mixed with broken stone chips was flipped out directly.

Lynn said nothing,伸屈 his left hand, and closed it around the handle.

Both hands gripped the handle tight, and he raised the Cross Pickaxe again.

As Lynn put strength into his waist and both hands, the Cross Pickaxe swung down once more, sinking into the soil...

As Lynn kept repeating the digging motion in his hands,

his Experience was increasing bit by bit.

At the same time, Construction knowledge of the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace was surfacing in Lynn’s mind.

Only—

at the beginning, that Construction knowledge was like a long-parched lime road suddenly splashed with a layer of rainwater.

As Lynn kept digging,

more and more Construction knowledge and memories poured down like a heavy rain,

surging up and gathering in Lynn’s mind.

By the time he’d been digging for over an hour, Lynn had completely grasped the knowledge and memories for constructing a Double-chamber Reflector Furnace.

The core of the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace lies in the separation of the two chambers!

The combustion chamber and the smelting chamber each form an independent space.

In the combustion chamber, burning charcoal produces high-temperature flue gas, allowing the fuel to avoid direct contact with the ore.

Thus, impurities can be effectively prevented from mixing in!

Unlike the previous liquid pig iron process, where Iron Ore and coal were all piled into the furnace to burn together.

Naturally, the iron blocks smelted out would be mixed with a large amount of impurities.

Then you construct a likewise independent smelting chamber.

It’s connected to the combustion chamber via an arched passage, using the arch or the walls to reflect heat so as to achieve the effect of heating the ore.

In this way, the metal smelted out separates from the slag!

This is also the core reason why the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace can smelt steel with extremely low carbon content and high quality!

Once he’d digested the memories in his mind, Lynn immediately started issuing various instructions to the Blacksmith Apprentices.

The very first step, naturally, was excavating the foundation pits.

Lynn’s idea was to use Cross Pickaxes and shovels to dig out six rectangular foundation pits in the open space.

That would just match the use of the six Blacksmith Workshops already constructed.

As for the size of the Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces—

Lynn went straight to digging and reserving space according to large Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces.

Twenty meters in length, ten meters in width, six meters tall at the firebox.

The melting pool could be built to a full depth of one point five meters!

With furnaces of such dimensions, these large Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces could meet the needs of handling massive quantities of material and high-temperature smelting of Iron Ore.

Their smelting capacity would be close to one hundred tons!

As long as these six Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces were completed, he wouldn’t have to worry about a steel shortage for a long time to come.

However, by contrast—

a Construction project of this scale

would require pouring in much more manpower, materials, and time before all six Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces could be built!

Even under mature technology, ample supplies, sufficient labor force, and good weather conditions,

it would still take at least one to two months!

The one or two months Lynn envisioned in his mind

were only for building one of the large Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces!

To construct six, the time required would only be longer.

Half a year at the least, and possibly even a full year!

Even so,

Lynn had still made up his mind.

He had to build the Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces!

As Lynn kept issuing all kinds of instructions to the Blacksmith Apprentices, time was flying by.

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.

Lynn downed the water in the canteen Red handed him in one go.

Only then did he feel the heat inside his body gradually dissipating.

Handing the canteen back to Red, Lynn’s gaze swept across the front.

After a day of digging, the foundation pits in the open space had already taken shape.

But this was only the first step in constructing the Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces.

Lynn’s gaze shifted, falling on the burly men one by one.

They too were panting for breath and drenched in sweat.

Lynn spoke toward Ehrelo not far away.

"Ehrelo, tell them they can stop work and rest now!"

Hearing Master Lynn’s words, Ehrelo’s face froze for a moment, then he hurriedly responded.

"Yes, Master."

As Ehrelo passed on Lynn’s orders,

bursts of joyful cheers rang out from the mouths of the Blacksmith Apprentices.

Their eyes when they looked at Lynn were filled with bright, worshipful light.

Watching teams of Blacksmith Apprentices leave the construction site in an orderly fashion,

Lynn beckoned Ehrelo over to his side.

Looking straight at Ehrelo, whose cheeks were smudged with dust, Lynn asked aloud,

"Building the Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces will take a very long time."

"If I’m in the territory, I can lead and teach the Blacksmith Apprentices to carry out the Construction together."

"If I’m not here, then you’ll need to lead them..."

Listening to Master Lynn’s words, an awkward look surfaced on Ehrelo’s face.

"Master, if it’s Forging and Production of Armor Plates or Winged Spears and the like, Ehrelo does have that Ability."
