Confirming that zìjǐ is a soul crossing, in fact, there is no harm. At the very least, he doesn't need to worry about where zìjǐ's body is going anymore.

Sui Xiong quickly put aside the matter of "Where is my body?" and started busy with other things.

In fact, he has a lot of things to do, just to find the body of zìjǐ, and he was delayed.

Now that this matter is over, he can do other things.

The first thing he needs to do is to make steel.

This is thanks to Palin. After decades of research by Palin, he finally reached the threshold of the "blast furnace" technology and found some more important keys.

Palin was inspired by the point that "after burning wood into charcoal, the temperature is higher when it burns", and tried to burn coal as well. Many mistakes were made in the process, and countless hours and materials were wasted, but in the end a solution was found.

So he got something called "coal essence". When this kind of thing burns, it can produce a much higher temperature than ordinary coal burning.

With this material, the most critical step of the steelmaking blast furnace is even completed. The next design and improvement of gōngzuò are nothing more than some finishing touches. Palin and a group of craftsmen pondered for several years, and finally succeeded in building a blast furnace.

This blast furnace is not like Sui Xiong imagined. You can feed in the raw materials while tapping the molten iron. It needs to prepare the raw materials in advance, put them together like building blocks in the furnace, and then start burning. But as long as it is not a long time, the high temperature generated by the coal concentrate will melt the iron ore and the auxiliary raw materials to form molten iron.

Relying on the special design, the molten iron in the lower layer can be poured out and poured into the mud trough to cool into iron ingots. The iron **** in the upper layer must be removed with special tools, or cleaned after the furnace is cooled again.

Although it takes a lot of effort to clean the furnace every time, after Palin and the others have done enough research and experimentation, they have been able to solidify the molten iron flowing out of the blast furnace to form steel directly without further processing.

This saves a lot of effort and completely makes up for the time and manpower wasted in other areas.

More importantly, the texture of the steel ingot produced by this method is very uniform. When using it as a raw material to build equipment, there is no need to worry about the material being uneven.

Moreover, as long as you use a suitable mold when condensing molten iron, you can get various shapes of crude steel. It can be turned into a suitable weapon, armor or tool directly after a little finishing.

Palin and the others tried to make some steel plates, and then used the hydraulic press invented by Sui Xiong to stamp the steel plates. It took almost no effort to make some good steel breastplates.

These breastplates are more uniform and stronger than ordinary hand-forged steel breastplates. But the time required to manufacture them is only a fraction of the past.

In the past, making such a breastplate required a master blacksmith to bring four or five apprentices and was busy for at least half a month. But now, as long as the materials are sufficient and relying on the help of a hydraulic press, a master blacksmith with four or five apprentices can make six or seven such breastplates in one day.

"This is really a good source of money!" When reporting to Sui Xiong, Palin said happily, "Just find the iron mines, coal mines, and those veins of auxiliary materials in zúgòu, and then find a more stable and stable flow rate. The swift river, give me some manpower, I am confident that within half a year, I will produce weapons and armors that are enough to arm an army!"

Sui Xiong is also very happy, but he is not considering the issue of making weapons and armors.

He is pleased that he can speed up the production of tools.

With the development of the Northwestern Republic, the population is increasing and the various tools needed are also increasing. However, if you rely solely on imports, you will need a huge amount of money, and you will need to slowly produce and deliver the goods. It’s just waiting for people’s hair to turn white.

Now that we have a steelmaking blast furnace and enough steel, we can produce more tools.

Don’t say anything else, at least those skeleton laborers in Tuya’an can finally use steel tools instead of bone tools!

Sui Xiong believes that as the skeleton laborers put on brand-new steel tools, their gōngzuò efficiency will be greatly improved, and the construction of the Northwestern Republic will also be greatly accelerated.

Before crossing, he once saw a saying, "If the country is a machine, then the steel industry is the engine of this machine." This must be said by some science students, but although Sui Xiong is an art student, But I also feel that this is very reasonable.

With zúgòu's steel, there are zúgòu's better tools, and of course national construction will become faster!

Leave aside, he has already begun to wonder if it is time to develop something like a tractor...

Of course, these scientific researches cannot be done by Sui Xiong. Facts have proved that art students are really unreliable in doing scientific research. Although he has great abilities, he is really inferior to the scientific research team led by Palin when doing research.

For this kind of thing, we still need professionals to do it.

"Huh? Don't make weapons and armors, but make tools?" Palin looked surprised when Sui Xiong gave the order, "Tools are not worth much."

"It's not worth much, but we need it." Sui Xiong said, "I need thousands of pickaxes, thousands of hoes, thousands of axes and hammers... Do you think which country can supply such More?"

Palin was taken aback by the number, and asked unequivocally: "When have we...when have so many workers?"

Sui Xiong was also taken aback, only to realize that he has been focusing on research these years. Except for some insufferable gōngzuò of the wizards and magic associations, almost everything has been spent on the research of blast furnace and steelmaking, even I don’t even know about the massive use of skeleton labor in the Northwestern Republic.

So he told Palin about this~IndoMTL.com~Oh...very good, workers who don't need money, don't need to rest, and there are so many...Isn't this perfect? Palin asked, "Why do you think there is something wrong with them, Your Majesty?" "

Sui Xiong was silent for a while, and told him the reaction of the good gods to this matter.

"This is ridiculous! We didn't transform human corpses into skeletons. We used the resources already in the Ash Forest!" Palling suddenly became angry, "The Ash Forest Skeletons were devastated, and we didn't see them. Come for purification! Why are they so angry when we use skeletons to do things? It's unreasonable!"

He said angrily: "Your Majesty, I think your plan should be adjusted. Rather than making tools first, we might as well make a large number of weapons and armors, and we don’t need to sell them, so we will change our army. The rest is displayed near the portal, show them our strength!"

Sui Xiong froze for a moment, then couldn't help applauding.

"This is a good idea! Like it!" (To be continued.)
