System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 884 - 273: Celebrities of Kakasong City (10,000 Words)_5

However, it was perfectly sufficient for the agricultural workers to gather their harvests.

After presenting the serrated scythe to Ehrelo, Lynn addressed the gathered crowd.

"Have you all grasped the technique?"

In response to Lynn's inquiry, the blacksmith apprentices exchanged uncertain glances.

A few hesitant voices from the multitude offered affirmations.

"We have indeed learned it!"

"I understand it as well."

"..."

A slight frown creased Lynn's brow as he pressed further, "So, it seems none of you have truly mastered it?"

Upon hearing Master Lynn's question repeated, the blacksmith apprentices finally found their voices.

"We have learned it, Master!"

"Master, the only difference between your scythe and an ordinary one is the presence of serrated edges."

"That is correct..."

Listening to the apprentices' explanations, Lynn remained impassive.

He declared directly, "Since you possess such confidence, you may commence with production immediately."

"Based on standard forging output, each individual should be capable of crafting two units per day!"

"With your collective of two hundred people, you ought to forge four hundred in a single day."

"Therefore, within a span of ten days, I expect to see four thousand serrated scythes completed!"

At Lynn's pronouncement, the eyes of the blacksmith apprentices widened in astonishment.

Observing their stunned silence, Lynn inquired loudly.

"Are there any objections?"

It was only then that the blacksmith apprentices realized Master Lynn was issuing a direct command.

They composed themselves, their expressions becoming serious, and quickly affirmed, "No objections!"

Lynn nodded, his gaze then shifting to Ehrelo as he spoke with a low, firm voice.

"Foreman Ehrelo, you are tasked with overseeing the production of these serrated scythes."

The efficiency of the barley harvest is intrinsically linked to the subsequent cultivation of peas and the establishment of pastures, as well as the crucial task of reclaiming the barren, weed-infested lands.

Every aspect concerning the development of this territory must be undertaken with the utmost seriousness by all involved.

Ehrelo immediately bowed his head in assent, "Yes, Master."

Lynn acknowledged his subordinate's confirmation and exited the Blacksmith Workshop.

The blacksmith apprentices, who had moments before filled the space, swiftly parted.

Creating a clear passage for Master Lynn.

Ehrelo followed closely behind.

As they traversed the Blacksmith Workshop, Lynn's attention was drawn to the apprentices diligently forging armor plates at each station.

He turned to Ehrelo, inquiring, "What is the current status of the armor plate forging required for the Composite Armor?"

Walking beside him, Ehrelo responded promptly.

"Master, with an increasing number of blacksmith apprentices mastering the fundamental forging techniques, the output of forged armor plates has seen a significant rise."

"Presently, across our six Blacksmith Workshops, we can produce approximately twenty thousand armor plates daily."

"This roughly equates to the fabrication of about twenty sets of Composite Armor each day."

"Naturally, the production of Winged Spears and One-Handed Swords, essential for our soldiers, is also proceeding."

"I can confidently assure you that within the two months you stipulated, we will deliver a thousand sets of armor and weaponry!"

Hearing Ehrelo's confident report, Lynn offered a nod of approval.

"Excellent."

"Once this current batch of armor and weaponry is completed."

"A comprehensive restructuring of the Blacksmith Workshop will be initiated."

Ehrelo inquired with curiosity, "Restructuring?"

Lynn elaborated, "Indeed. My intention is to further enhance the iron smelting blast furnaces within all six Blacksmith Workshops."

"This enhancement will enable sequential refining processes, yielding steel with minimal impurities!"

The molten iron, as discharged from the blast furnaces, solidifies into what essentially becomes iron ore, burdened by excessive carbon impurities.

To render it usable, it necessitates extensive hammering to extract workable, quality iron blocks.

Rather than expending significant labor and resources on the laborious process of hammering out impurities.

A more effective solution lies in addressing the issue at its source!

Ehrelo nodded in understanding, posing no further questions.

He admittedly lacked knowledge regarding the sequential refining furnace that Master Lynn had mentioned.

However, he was fully aware that every directive or strategic decision issued by Master Lynn invariably represented a significant innovation.

Examples of this included the groundbreaking Wheel Plow, the wagon frames equipped with braking mechanisms.

And furthermore, the ingenious waterwheels installed along the banks of the Aladia River...

Lynn continued, "Upon the successful improvement of the iron smelting blast furnaces, the apprentices within the Blacksmith Workshop will be granted a well-deserved respite."

At this declaration.

Ehrelo's eyebrows shot up in surprise, and he exclaimed with astonishment.

"Master, are you genuinely serious?"

Lynn affirmed with a nod, "Absolutely."

"As soon as the thousand sets of Composite Armor plates are finalized, the break period may commence!"

"You may convey this encouraging news directly to the blacksmith apprentices."

Receiving Lynn's confirmation, an unmistakable expression of profound joy bloomed on Ehrelo's face.

His delight was utterly unrestrained.

"Thank you, Master Lynn."

"You are truly a benevolent lord, deeply concerned for the well-being of your townsfolk!"

Lynn, of course, comprehended the reason behind Ehrelo's exuberant reaction.

The demanding working conditions and the relentless practice of extended overtime shifts had taken their toll.With the unceasing demand for crafting armor, weapons, tools, and farming equipment, weariness had set in for the workers, despite their doubled efforts each day. Improvements were made to the iron-smelting blast furnaces, granting the blacksmith apprentices a moment of respite. This break would allow them to return with renewed vigor for the subsequent phase of forging production, simultaneously offering a chance to enhance the Loyalty Value of the apprentices. After a brief exchange with Ehrelo, Lynn departed from the Blacksmith Workshop. Yet, scarcely had he taken a few steps when Ehrelo's voice boomed from within the workshop's confines. "Gentlemen, I have some important information to share with you all," Ehrelo announced. "These are clear directives I've received directly from Master Lynn."
