System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1315 - 345: Dwarf Kingdom (1W)_4
Previously on System: Build My Own Territory...
Back and forth.
A journey of nearly forty to fifty li, walking for several continuous hours.
They were already famished and parched.
The group of children followed behind Kuisi, entering the corridor leading to the audience hall.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
On the Lord’s throne in the audience hall, Lynn was still seated.
He stayed that way until the children’s backs disappeared from the hall.
Lynn’s gaze was still fixed straight in that direction.
As the Lord, Lynn naturally didn’t need to explain so much to a group of orphans who had come to his territory to survive.
It was only when faced with Nancy, wasting her youth so wilfully.
That Lynn found it hard to bear.
Nancy was only fourteen, and the other children were even younger.
If they were facing hardship, struggling constantly just to stay alive, that would be one thing.
But now.
They clearly had a better and more stable life before them.
And yet Nancy still wanted to take the children and leave!
To squander huge amounts of time and energy on the most basic struggle for survival.
However, Lynn also understood.
This was the first time he tried to persuade her, and it would be the last!
Pressing down the thoughts in his heart, Lynn rose from the Lord’s throne and strode toward the bedroom.
He pushed open the wooden door, then closed it again.
Walking forward, Lynn’s eyes turned to the large bed covered with brocade silk and a wool mattress.
On the bed.
A plump body was lying on her side, curled slightly.
Even though that body was covered by a fine wool blanket.
He could still see those alluring curves and that full, high-raised butt...
Lynn’s brows lifted slightly; he walked to the edge of the bed, took off his robe, and lay down on the bed.
Pulling back the fine wool blanket, Lynn slipped under it.
His left hand moved, resting on Janet’s waist.
Lynn’s left hand exerted a bit of force; Janet, lying on her side with her back to him, was instantly pulled tight against his chest.
Feeling the comfort in front of him, Lynn’s left hand moved, settling on the high, rounded swell before Janet.
After Janet let out a few muffled sounds, Lynn closed his eyes in contentment and drifted off to sleep.
...
Three mornings later.
Handicraft Workshop District.
Blacksmith Workshop.
Lynn stood in front of the newly completed second Double-chamber Reflector Furnace.
Ehrelo, his cheeks streaked with sweat and dust, came to Lynn’s side.
Ehrelo reported respectfully.
"Master, the second Double-chamber Reflector Furnace has already been completed."
"With just one word from you, it can be put into smelting tests at once!"
Lynn gave a low hum and said.
"Begin the smelting test!"
Hearing Lynn’s affirmative reply, Ehrelo hurriedly responded.
"Yes, Master."
Without further words, Ehrelo bowed and withdrew, going to the front of the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace to give instructions to the operators.
Ehrelo shouted loudly.
"By order of the Master, immediately begin the smelting test for the second Double-chamber Reflector Furnace!"
With Ehrelo’s shout, a chorus of clear responses rang out.
The operators immediately began to work in an orderly fashion beside the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace.
Watching these workers, Lynn nodded in satisfaction.
Clearly.
Ehrelo, who was extremely familiar with the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace, had already trained these operators.
Though their work was still somewhat clumsy, at least they wouldn’t panic or become flustered and mess up the smelting process!
Lynn’s gaze shifted toward the third Double-chamber Reflector Furnace not far away.
The foundation pit for the third Double-chamber Reflector Furnace had already been laid, and it had entered the phase of building the furnace walls...
Once the third Double-chamber Reflector Furnace is completed, tested, and can smelt steadily.
They could immediately start Construction on the fourth, fifth, and sixth Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces!
When all six Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces are built and put into smelting production...
Lynn felt.
That for quite a long time, he wouldn’t have to worry about steel being in short supply.
Each Double-chamber Reflector Furnace can take in fifty tons of Iron Ore at a time.
After a week of high-temperature smelting, it can produce ten tons of steel.
In other words.
In one week, six Double-chamber Reflector Furnaces can produce sixty tons of steel!
Even if, during demolding and reheating for Forging, there’s some loss and a bit of slag hammered out.
The six Reflector Furnaces can still produce at least fifty-five tons of steel per week.
If we do a rough conversion.
Based on the amount of steel needed to Forge an Iron Butcher: seventy jin of Heavy Padded Armor, fifty jin of Horse Armor for the Warhorse, plus the Winged Spear, Longsword, and other Weapon needs.
The total steel required is roughly around one hundred and forty jin.
The fifty-five tons of steel produced per week are enough to Forge Steel Armor and Weapons for seven hundred and eighty-five Iron Butcher armored cavalry.
If used for other Composite Armor or Scale Armor with Chain Liner.
Then the number would be even higher!
As Lynn was observing.
A curious voice sounded at his side.
"Is this the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace everyone’s been raving about like it’s a miracle?"
Lynn turned his gaze over.
Flint was staring wide-eyed, fixed on the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace that was in operation.
Lynn answered calmly, "Yes, the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace."
Flint’s large eyes moved; clearly, even for him as a member of the Dwarf Race, this was the first time he’d seen a smelting furnace like this.
Flint watched for a moment, then asked somewhat hesitantly.
"How many jin of Iron Ore can you put in at once? And how long does it need to smelt at high temperature?"
