Chapter 185 183. Completion of Blacksmith Workshop
On March 3th, Ben, who was concentrating on the ruins, suddenly heard Sophia mention that the workshop was about to be completed. The interested mage put down the drawing tools in his hand and took Sophia to the east of the city, wanting to see How to use boiling water to drive the operation of machinery.

Padmira Mountain itself is located in the east of the city, not far from the palace wall is the city wall, and outside the city wall is the newly built workshop area. Ben Kaur was the first to visit here with Zelant He was also the first to hear that he was going to build a workshop area here.

After a week of construction by magic goblins, barbarian blacksmiths, and many craftsmen, a row of tall stone houses has been erected outside the city wall.

The largest stone house is what Rand called the "steam power" room. As soon as you enter the house, you can see the largest salt cooking pot on the burning pit, which is almost the same as the salt boiling process in the salt mine, but the upper part of the pot The half part is different. There are several pipes connected to the closed lid, and the thickest one leads to the next room.

"The entire steam power room is divided into two parts, the boiler room and the power room. This room can continue to be filled with boilers in the future." Lander saw that Ben was interested, so he took the initiative to take the tour. "The boiler room here uses coal as raw material. A fire-type magic goblin helped us draw runes and increase the burning temperature. Boil hot water to generate steam and send it to the power room next door through this large pipe."

"I still think the effect of boiling water is not as good as the energy of the earth's veins." Ben looked at the boiler and shook his head. In his opinion, such a design is too crude. "The worst thing is to use some transformation circles to directly convert coal into driving force." "

"Is there such a good magic circle? Can you make it?" Rand asked casually.

"I don't have this ability. There should be a few legends in the Tower of Purity who can make it." When Ben said this, he laughed. "Do you think I'm unrealistic again?"

"If I can easily invite the legend of the Tower of Purity, I don't have to bother with this water boiler."

In the power room, the cylinders are covered by a huge shell, and the internal structure cannot be seen at all, only a few pipes can be seen extending out of the room.Two of them are steam output pipes, and one is a power output pipe. The power shaft in the pipe is connected to the gear in the power room and the crankshaft in the blacksmith workshop.

Following the huge pipe, Ben and Rand finally came to the gate of the blacksmith workshop. There are 5 workstations in the blacksmith workshop. The power hammers on the workstations are connected to the crankshaft through the gearbox. There are wind and fire runes in the furnace, and there is a flowing water pool on the other side of the workstation to quench and cool down at any time.

In the blacksmith workshop, there are already 4 blacksmiths forging demons at their workstations forging tools, and the sound of "dang, clang, clang" is constantly being heard in the workshop.

"Is this what the boiler you designed is for?" Ben looked around the room, finally staring at the power hammer, thinking about something.

"Yes, my idea is to dismantle the process as much as possible, and it is best for every step to be completed by a non-monster." Watching his design become a reality, Lante was full of pride and pointed to the side. Open space "In the future, there will be an automatic grinding wheel here. If necessary, I will add another workshop or a group of boilers for grinding."

"Where does the smoke from these iron furnaces lead to?" Ben asked casually, looking at the chimney channel raised on the wall.

"Currently there is only a preheating function. The water in the boiler room will conduct the first heat exchange with the flue gas, and then conduct the second heat exchange with the steam pipe outside the boiler room"

"Then the smoke is discharged like this, but can the steam continue to be used in the bath?" The mage continued to comb the silk road.

"Yes, but this is because the industrial area here does not have high requirements for humidity. In the textile workshops in the north, the spinning wheels and steam can also be used for humidification." Rand saw the workshop he personally participated in. Very excited, he pointed to many parts and said, "These are all imperial goods. There is a large factory out of equipment. The structure of these parts is fine, but the runes are old. I asked someone to take them down and asked them to redraw them. runes."

"The big factory has high requirements for the runes on the parts, and it also needs to control the cost. Instead of asking the magister to repair the old ones, it is better to buy stamped and printed new parts in batches, so these are cheaper for me. Not only that, if Jonny and the others In the future, I really think about a new magic furnace, or a new transmission, which can replace the boiler or cylinder, and these are all replaceable."

"Interesting," Ben walked out of the gate of the blacksmith workshop, and looked at the public bathroom not far away, "This is the most interesting thing I have seen in your place, each device has only one function, and each rune is also The simplest, but combined to accomplish such a complex job.”

"This is the credit of Kur Yagan." Rand pointed to the tall barbarian on one side, "He has the blood of tribes, barbarians and dwarves. He was an excellent blacksmith when he was in the salt mine. Only he can see the boiler drawings I drew. Understand."

"Hey hey" Kuryagan scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard Rand mentioning himself. Like everyone else, he had a natural awe of mages and lords. When they saw them chatting, no one dared to interrupt.

"Ah, I see." Ben smiled slyly, looking like he wasn't holding back any good words. "You can always find the right people to do the right job. For example, Kuryagan can do a good blacksmith workshop. For example, Laniya can find someone to do a good job of mushroom cultivation, but those crafts where you can't find anyone to be in charge... "

"How about it"

"The only thing that can be done well is related to eating." Ben Kaur's conclusion can't be wrong. Rand's public relations technology in the palace, fermented bean curd, vinegar, pickles, and mushroom cultivation are all very successful, but papermaking and brick burning , soap, crockery all had different problems
"Those are all caused by the insufficient stability of the process. The production quality of industrial products will gradually improve with the process and the proficiency of workers until it becomes stable." Lante knew in his heart that Ben must have known this, and Ben was teasing himself. Is a foodie.

"The coal mine in the north of the salt mine is estimated to require more than 300 people to mine. In addition, you have to arrange at least 2 boilers there. Without fuel, your current ideas cannot be realized, but you need more to realize it. People and money" joke is a joke, Ben still wants to remind Rand that the population of the territory must be replenished.

"Zhenqin and Laniya have already told me two days ago, I will find a way." Regarding the population and money, Rand is also very helpless, so he can only figure it out slowly.

One morning, Ben Kaur looked around the eastern workshop area, including the leather workshop and the newly dug sewage pond, but he didn't make any comments. In his words, he didn't want to disturb Rand's thinking.
