Throne Of Another World

Chapter 34: Improvements in Ironmaking Technology



Cage was very picky and was not satisfied with the first batch of molten iron. In Gangta's opinion, this was quite good. Even in their tribe, being able to produce molten iron with such high purity depended entirely on the quality of the iron ore. He did not expect the improved ironmaking furnace to be so good.

"Damn it, it's still a little bit worse." Cage was very angry when he looked at the cast iron. Gangta did not understand why Cage was so dissatisfied.

In order to make iron, Cage had stayed in the blast furnace for two consecutive months. Although Cage bought the nearby land, this place was very hot and most people did not like this place.

Why did impurities appear? In fact, Cage had another idea, which was to mix different elements and refine the high-grade steel he needed, even stainless steel, and special steel. This world used the pleated method to make steel to remove impurities. This method was okay for ordinary steel, but it was not suitable for forging better steel, because human strength was limited after all. There was no forging machine in this world, which could easily reach a striking force of tens of thousands of pounds.

Cage has been fascinated by the process of exploration and design, constantly improving the high-chamber furnace, and has spent hundreds of furnaces of molten iron in succession, but he is still not satisfied.

"Cage, isn't this good enough?" Gangta really didn't understand Cage's idea. Such a good material is not good enough. He really couldn't stand the stimulation. Ironmaking has always been a secret of the dwarves. Now it seems that whether he is a dwarf or he is a dwarf, Cage is much better than them in ironmaking.

"It can be used barely, but it's still not good enough." Cage answered casually. Since he learned the dwarven language, it has been much easier to communicate with Gangta. He also asked Gangta to call him Cage directly, not to call him Your Highness all day long, which makes people feel particularly lonely.

"Your Highness, you should change your career to become a blacksmith."

Cage looked up and saw Vidi's smiling face. Vidi now has a better relationship with him than before.

"It's just a hobby. When I refine a good one, I'll give it to you first."

"Then I'll wait for good news."

"Why do you have time to come here today?" Cage knew that Vidi always met him in the mansion. Not only was the temperature high here, but the smell was also very bad.

"The Tian Music Band will perform in the imperial capital, and I specially invite your highness to participate." Vidi smiled.

"Tian Music Band, what's that?" Cage looked at Vidi in confusion. What's so surprising about a band?

"No way, the Tian Music Band is the number one band in the continent. There is a princess in the music world. She is only fifteen years old now. It is said that her voice has surpassed her master. The queens of the previous generation have been touring all over the country. It is quite frequent for them to come to the imperial capital every two or three years."

"Oh, is that so!" Cage was not interested. What was so good about singing? In his previous life, he was tired of listening to music. It was difficult to find a voice that moved him. He was constantly bombarded by neutral voices, abnormal voices, dolphin sounds, sheep sounds, etc. He had long been immune to the sound. What princess, in fact, is a singing actor. In the previous life, the dirtiest people were the group of people in the music and film circles. They were all scumbags.

"Your Highness, don't you know that His Majesty the Emperor will also go to listen to her singing?" Weidi did not understand Cage's indifference. Those who could go to listen to the songs were all dignitaries, and ordinary people could not enter. "The ticket costs at least 200 gold coins, but not everyone can get a ticket, and it is a relatively early position." Weidi was a little complacent.

"It seems that I must go to listen to this concert. I can't let the Marquis' efforts go to waste." Cage said with a smile. He knew that Vidi must have got the tickets and came here this time.

The two smiled at each other and understood each other.

"Your Highness, the Thirteenth Prince has been visiting various nobles and high-ranking officials in the court recently. Did you know?" Seeing that there was no one else around, Vidi revealed the news to Cage.

"Is that so? I wonder if that lord sincerely received him?" Cage asked with a smile.

"Not yet, but His Highness Harris is considered to be very aristocratic by the lower-level nobles, and he has a good evaluation."

"Did he visit other princes?"

"No." Vidi felt that Cage quickly grasped the key point of the matter. Whether it can be recognized by various forces is not enough to just win over. Everyone sneers at the so-called style. The most important thing is whether you are worth investing in and whether you have the strength to compete with other princes.

Cage is not interested in this kind of intrigue. He just wants to know who is the most powerful person now. If Harris chooses to join forces with others to fight against one of the princes, it proves that the prince is powerful enough. The power behind Harris is too weak. After all, the Kangs family has no powerful figures in the court. Even if they have a hotel now, they can only be regarded as a wealthy noble at most, and they are far from the word "powerful".

"Is that so." Cage was not interested in talking about it. Vidi actually wanted to know Cage's attitude towards Harris. After all, Cage now has a certain strength, and the magic bear is a symbol of his strength. It is estimated that no one in the imperial capital dares to touch him now, unless they can gather three level 9 warriors, or a magician plus a level 9 warrior, or a saint-level figure. It is estimated that in the entire imperial capital, except for the emperor, no one else has this strength. Now Cage's business and the forces of all parties are entangled with each other. Everything is possible in the face of interests. If you want to touch him, you must see the reactions of others.

"Your Highness, you have a dwarf, but you haven't made a good weapon yet. Is this dwarf too weak?" Vidi didn't understand why he couldn't make a good weapon even though he had a dwarf, which was a shame for the dwarf's reputation.

"The strength of the steel tower is still good, but I'm not interested in these ordinary weapons. If you want to make it, make the best weapons. I'm not interested in ordinary stuff." Cage smiled and took off his outer coat. "If you want to make it, make something that can be passed down. I prefer to make my own weapons by myself. The process is like creating a life. It must be as perfect as possible."

"Your Highness, you are too perfectionist. It takes a lot of time to make a weapon. It may take a month or even longer. Even if a few masters want to make a weapon that can be passed down, it will take a lot of time. And it depends on the opportunity. You have to get enough materials."

"This is because it will be fun to make a weapon by yourself. I enjoy the process now."

"What is this for?" Vidi pointed to the iron smelting furnace and asked. He didn't understand it at all and had never seen such a tall iron smelting furnace.

"It is used to refine metal ores. We made some small improvements based on the dwarf's ironmaking furnace, but it is not very successful. The molten iron is of poor quality and has little significance in making weapons. It can only make some simple tools." Cage pointed to a pile of things next to him and said.

"I hope you can succeed as soon as possible. I also hope to get the weapons you make with your own hands. I will definitely pass them down as my family's treasure."

"Haha, Vidi, you are kidding." Cage smiled. He knew that Vidi was mostly comforting him.

"Your Highness, remember to attend on time. I will ask the servant to send you the ticket later." Vidi couldn't stand the high temperature in this place.

"Okay, thank you, Vidi." Cage was still quite grateful to Vidi. After all, Vidi and he had a good relationship in the imperial capital.

After sending Vidi away, Cage drank a sip of water, put on his gown, and continued his research. Cage drew a lot of graphics on the ground for analysis. The steel tower was completely incomprehensible. The whole thing was specious. This is certain, because the dwarves don't understand three-view drawing at all, and no one on this continent understands it. The only person on the entire continent who understands it is Cage, and this is what he keeps in his memory.

After a month of continuous transformation, the iron smelting furnace finally barely met Cage's requirements. Now the function of this blast furnace is very powerful and can be used for mixed refining of materials. This also allows Cage to obtain metal materials with excellent properties containing trace elements in different proportions. Although it is still impossible to control the materials to obtain a fixed proportion, it is a great breakthrough to obtain relatively similar materials through recording. Cage, who completed the design and manufacture of the blast furnace, finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally had time to manufacture his favorite weapons.
