Chapter 54 54. Iron that cannot be melted

It is not necessarily yarn.

What if yarn breaks after being soaked in water a few times?

The durability of the material is very important!

Lovey asked the person in charge of the clothing shop to prepare a sample of each material that could leak water.

He wants to conduct experiments himself and summarize the results that are more practical.

The person in charge of the clothing shop readily agreed, but said that some materials needed to be made on the spot, which would take some time.

The two agreed to deliver the goods within three days.

Lovey also ordered a batch of hemp twine before leaving with his men.

The market environment in Donggang City is very dirty and messy.

At the entrance, several residents were selling fish at stalls, occupying the area with the largest flow of people.

The smell of killed fish and rotting fruit. The stalls were crowded together.

There were crowds of people, and the sounds of bargaining and quarreling could be heard.

It is hard to imagine that the current scene is the result of strict governance. It was even dirtier some time ago.

Luo Wei didn't want to go in, so he sent Lan Lan in to buy some bamboo baskets.

When the person in charge of the market learned of the lord's arrival, he hurriedly came out to greet him: "My Lord, nobles should not come to such a dirty place. If you need anything, just send someone to say hello to me, and I will arrange to deliver it to your house immediately."

"Can the sanitary conditions here be improved?" Lowe looked at him unkindly.

The market manager had beads of sweat on his forehead: "Don't worry, I will do my best to manage it again."

"No matter how busy you are, everyone must at least clean up the area around their stall. If necessary, a sanitation fee can be collected. The money will be used to recruit cleaning staff. I'll give you a month to tidy it up. I hope you won't let me down." Lovey said coldly.

"Yes!" The marketing manager bowed vigorously.

"Here's a suggestion for you. Classify the stalls. Put some stalls selling meat and fish together. The stalls selling fruits and clothes are a little cleaner and are concentrated on the other side. This way, at least one part of the area can be kept relatively clean."

Seeing Lan Lan squeezing out of the market carrying two bamboo baskets, Luo Wei turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

It is no longer a secret that the lord has severe mysophobia.

In order to avoid displeasing the lord, everyone began to pay attention to hygiene.

As the saying goes, what goes up must come down.

The sanitary conditions in Donggang City are improving.

More toilets and garbage dumps are being planned.

Lowe actually wants to add some greenery to the city, but now he is short of money, so he will wait until he has more money.

After returning to Fort Fulin, Lowe immediately checked on Mossophie's progress.

In the blacksmith shop on the first floor, the Panda Butler was sweating all over as he swung two hammers, one big and one small, trying to beat the red-hot iron ore into the shape of iron sheets.

The process was extremely difficult, and Lowe was anxious watching it. He might not be able to make it in a month! "It's too slow, really too slow, don't you have a way to turn iron into molten iron?"

"It's impossible. Iron can't be melted at all." Mosuofei was also helpless. He had never heard that iron could be melted.

Even lava cannot dissolve iron. Dragon's breath cannot dissolve iron. Perhaps only in the stories of bards can iron melt.

Iron cannot be melted, it can only be softened at high temperatures, and then it can be changed into iron sheets by hammering and rolling them together.

Lowe's steamer is so difficult to make that it's a relief that he managed to find a way to make it.

"You didn't use coke?"

"What is coke?"

"Coal is made by baking it in an airtight place. After removing the moisture and impurities in the coal, the resulting charcoal is obtained," Lowe explained in simple language.

"Master, does coke have a higher temperature?" asked the Panda Butler seriously.

"Coal is poisonous, extremely poisonous. And it pollutes the environment greatly." Lowe answered the question irrelevantly.

Mossof asked again: "Can coke melt iron?"

"Yes." Lowe confirmed.

"I must get the coke out." Mosuofei put down the hammer and said in a firm tone.

The young master had no idea what the temperature of the flame meant to the blacksmith. Countless blacksmiths tried every possible means to increase the temperature of the furnace fire. If the iron could be melted and poured into the sand mold, the efficiency of producing weapons would be increased by a thousand times.

As for the toxicity and pollution, it is not a problem. At most, it can be refined in an abandoned quarry and the coke can be dragged back when it is finished.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you tomorrow." Lovi patted the butler's shoulder.

The sun is about to set, so it is definitely not suitable for work. Mo Sufei could only accept the reality helplessly, "Okay! Master, this matter is really important, you must accompany me tomorrow."

"Where is my silver pot now?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Lady Evelyn has taken it."

Lovi's mental power spread and he found Evelyn's trace on the rooftop of Fulin Castle.

She built a small shed and took care of the still herself.

Luo Wei climbed up to the rooftop panting: "Mom, what are you doing here?"

"The wine becomes purer after being steamed several times!" Evelyn proudly showed off to Lovey.

"Does this need to be verified again?" Luo Wei opened the wooden barrel that Evelin handed over, and there was a strong smell of alcohol inside. "How many times did you steam it?"

"Not much, only about five or six times. I mainly want to see how far I can improve. I feel that there won't be much change after more than two times." Evelin's words revealed a strong curiosity and desire to explore.

Luo Wei didn't know how to judge: "Well, as long as you are happy."

"Here are about five barrels of wine that have been distilled since this morning. I will have people distilling it day and night. It's troublesome to keep refilling the wine."

Lovey ignored Evelyn's chattering and called the guards and Lanlan to carry the wine barrel downstairs.

He decided to share the new wine with everyone.

It was the people in the castle who first notified Xiqi.

"My lord, is this the new wine you brewed?" Xiqi had a smile as bright as spring breeze on her face. She took the wine glass handed to her by Lovey without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.

Perhaps she drank too quickly, and she started coughing violently.

"Are you okay?"

Xiqi patted her collar and waved her hands: "I, I'm fine, this wine is very pure. I have never drunk such a strong wine."

"Miss Xiqi, what do you think of this wine?"

"It tastes average, but its actual value should be higher than those wines with better taste. A sip in winter can warm up your whole body. It has a good effect on promoting blood circulation. If you give this wine to our Donghui Company to sell, a cup is worth about five silver dollars." Xiqi spread out her five fingers: "Maybe. It can be sold at a higher price in the early stage."

"Price is not a problem." Lovi didn't expect Evelin to be so conservative.

"Your Lord, I haven't asked you the name of this wine yet?" Xiqi's face gradually turned red as the alcohol started to take effect.

"The name is Warrior Blood Brandy." Lowe replied.

"What a nice name." Xiqi clapped softly.
