The power problem of the water forging was solved. After discussing with the architect Gaudi, Geralt decided to complete the water forging as soon as possible. The blacksmiths had already built the water forging hammer, but Geralt never did. After pondering the power issue so much that it was put in the warehouse, I finally figured it out today.

Without further ado, the two went to the blacksmith shop. Geralt happened to have something to discuss with the two blacksmiths.

Gaudi went up to tell the blacksmith Ahsoka this, and drew the shape and size of the gear on the paper, hoping Ahsoka could cast it with tough iron.

The two were communicating, and Geralt was not idle, looking at the blacksmith shop full of thirty people and asking.

"Are these new apprentices?"

Aiden replied, "Yes, sir, last time Lord Harry selected dozens of people and sent them over to serve as apprentices."

"But my teacher and I chose only thirty people in the end considering the size of the blacksmith shop."

"Then what are they mainly learning now?"

Geralt asked curiously.

Aiden thought for a while and answered the question.

"Don't think that it is difficult to learn a good knife, but the work of a blacksmith is a process of hard work. It is very simple. The teacher gave all the skills to the apprentices, and they basically got it. Now the only difference is experience. That's it."

"And didn't your lord tell us about assembly line work? That's what my teacher and I taught. Some are responsible for smelting ore, some are responsible for refining iron ingots, and some are responsible for refining into steel."

Geralt nodded: "The arrangement is very good. Apart from letting you build water forging gears this time, there is one more thing to tell you."

"Sir, please speak."

Aiden bowed and listened.

"The current coking coal refining in the territory is on the right track, and coking coal is produced every day, so you and your teacher have new tasks."

Aiden listened carefully to what Geralt said.

"Try making steel with coking coal!"

Geralt spit out the words in his mouth word by word.

Aiden was startled and asked Geralt with wide eyes.

"Sir, can steel be trained directly?"

Geralt recalled the memories of steelmaking in his mind, but unfortunately he didn't understand it in depth at the beginning, so he thought for a while before speaking.

"Steel can be trained directly, but I don't know the detailed process."

"I only know that after the iron ore is turned into molten iron, something needs to be added to make it directly into steel after the molten iron melts."

Geralt was talking about the only recollection of steelmaking in his memory.

Said to Aiden earnestly.

"So, it's up to you two experienced blacksmiths to keep groping."

"When Gaudi comes over, I will let him start building a blast furnace. You can try it with this blast furnace first."

"Understood, my lord."

Aiden replied to Geralt respectfully, and while the two were chatting, Gaudi and Ahsoka finally finished their discussions and began to prepare.

Gaudi walked up to Geralt and said, "Sir, it will take two or three days to build the gear. If there is nothing else, I will continue to watch the construction of the city wall."

"Don't worry." Geralt stopped Gaudi, who turned to leave.

"Did you understand the blast furnace blueprint I gave you last time?"

Geralt asked Gaudi.

"Well, I see, there are only three structures in total, so it's not difficult to build."

Hearing Geralt's question, Gaudi also guessed what to do next.

"That's good, just wait for a few more days for the gear, so you can go and build the blast furnace first."

Geralt looked at Gaudi with relief and ordered.

"Understood, my lord, I'll make arrangements now."

Gaudi took the lead, turned and left the blacksmith shop.

"Let your teacher build the gears well, and don't be reluctant to give up the materials."

"Understood, my lord."

Geralt said a word to Aiden beside him and left.

He was going to find Wilkin. A few days ago, another large mine was discovered on White Rock Mountain. Geralt went to ask if the mining process was going well.

Rather than a discovery, it is better to say that there are many open-air limestone deposits exposed on the body of the mountain, and the whole body is white, hence the name Baishi Mountain.

The reason why this mountain is called Baishi Mountain is that it is rich in limestone. Limestone is the name of Geralt, and the locals still call it Baishi.

Geralt didn't care at first, until one day when he was inspecting the safety of two mines in the mountain, he heard the miners working on the mountain discussing an interesting story.

The content of the interesting story is nothing more than a group of miners chatting in their spare time, one person bragging about making the stone smoke in the water, and other people don't believe it.

Hearing stones and smoke, Geralt, who had already guessed these two keywords, listened patiently.

When the miner took out a piece of lime wrapped in sackcloth, Geralt went up and asked him how the lime came from.

The miner said that the white stone was so beautiful on the mountain that he took it home as a decoration. One time he accidentally fell into the burning stove while playing and was called out to work before he could take it out~www. wuxiahere.com~ It will be like this when I go back and take it out.

"Then why are you taking it with you?"

Geralt asked curiously.

The miner answered honestly that he accidentally discovered that this kind of stone would emit smoke if it fell into the water, so he brought it over to share this interesting story with his friends today.

Geralt was overjoyed, and after rewarding the miner for dinner tonight, Geralt went to look for it.

Sure enough, there were many places on the mountain where white stones were exposed. Geralt knocked on a piece with a pick he brought out of the mine, and after examining it, it was indeed limestone.

When he first came to this area, Geralt was busy with the construction of the territory. Later, he came to this mountain to suppress bandits. Unfortunately, the heavy snow fell and these limestones were buried by the heavy snow. Only then did he discover the greatest treasure of this mountain.

"Limestone!"

Limestone can not only be used to make steel, but also can be used to produce lime, and the process is very simple, and it is done by burning.

And lime is extremely useful, it can disinfect germs, tan leather, make building adhesives, and even make cement!

Throwing away the limestone in his hand, Geralt immediately went to Wilkin and told him to start mining the limestone deposits. Although Wilkin didn't know how the white stone would help the lord, he was loyal and immediately sent someone to start mining.

Riding a horse on the way to Baishi Mountain, Geralt looked at this yellow dirt road built to facilitate the transportation of ore. The slightest movement of the wind would make the sky full of dust, and his mind was full of cement for a while. Desire, as long as there is cement, who will take the dirt road?

But...how does cement work? ? ? ?
