Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries.

Chapter 100 A new order is coming
Gooden was not surprised by the abnormal personnel screened out.

This kind of good opportunity to mix in spies can be thought of and arranged by a person with a more normal mind.

If the other party didn't put it in, Gooden would feel strange.

However, Gooden is not quite sure whether this batch of people who have been screened for abnormality has any problems. At this stage, it is better to focus on it.

After sending old Joseph away, Gooden picked up the report on the table and continued to read it.

The turmoil on the border is becoming more and more frequent, and the national war is inevitable. The news from Jinyuan City that the First Prince of the Empire has received an order from His Majesty to lead the army to the border to patrol and station.

The appearance of such a character is not only to increase the morale of one's own soldiers, but also to prepare for war with determination.

Gooden still attaches great importance to this piece. He has not forgotten the threat of orcs, and the improvement of the military power of the territory is imminent.

Fortunately, there is a large population replenishment now, and it is not a big problem to recruit a hundred recruits.

But then a new problem also appeared, the choice of weapons.

Gooden's original plan was to use the convenience and efficient killing of firearms to quickly fill the gap in numbers and force.

But now there is a lot of sulphur hoarding, but there is no saltpeter at all, which makes Gooden wonder if there is no such thing as saltpeter in this world?

For this kind of thing, he has nothing to do for a while.

The development of a first-generation gunpowder rifle has just been sent to the core department of the research institute. If you want to get results, you have to cooperate with bullets and gunpowder. You can only wait for the news of the search slowly.

……

August [-]th.

Construction and assembly of the smelter was also announced as complete.

Along the direction of the huge blast furnace exit, an industrial plant with a height of 30 meters, a width of 40 meters and a length of [-] meters has been completed.

Internally, three different production lines have been installed.

The experienced firing workers were transferred from the brick kiln factory, and at this moment they are officially on duty to do their own 'regular' work.

Gooden, who came to inspect, looked at the blast furnace, and couldn't help feeling the charm of industry.

With this thing, it may not be possible to produce a thousand tons a day, but one or two hundred tons is still easy.

Of course, this is the data after the blessing of the entry.

【Name: Industrial Blast Furnace】

[entry: steel heart, fire melting, furnace yield ten thousand catties, mechanical protection]

【Quality: Rare】

[Introduction: Equipment capable of smelting a large amount of metal, with an inner furnace capacity of [-] cubic meters]

[Steel Heart: When smelting steel, the smelting efficiency is increased by 500%]

[Fire melting: There will be a flame that melts all impurities in the blast furnace, and no residue will be left except molten steel]

[The furnace yields [-] kilograms: regardless of the volume of the inner furnace, you can continue to put in materials for smelting, and truly achieve the top down and the bottom out]

[Mechanical protection: Under the reliable mechanical protection, unless the blast furnace is damaged by external force, it is difficult for major self-accidents to occur]

The blessing of the four entries made the conveyor belt for transporting minerals never stop for a moment.

At the same time, at the molten steel outlet under the blast furnace, the red molten steel flows to the production line for cooling, solidification and forging under the guidance of the inclined guide groove.

For the urgently needed rebar demand, the first batch of molten steel will flow to the rebar production line on the far left.

At this moment, all kinds of machines are constantly "bang chi bang chi" operation to forge and press the steel bars. From the molten steel flowing into the cooling, cutting and pressing, and finally leaving it in the stacking area, it takes less than 5 minutes in total.

Looking at the speed of the steel bars produced by the smelter, Gooden silently compared with the gang at the research institute, and it was simply weak.

The production speed of the research institute is estimated to be 3 minutes at the fastest, while the smelter can produce at least 5 pieces in [-] minutes. This efficiency is directly ahead of manpower.

It's just that with such a rapid production, the supply of iron ore must also be taken seriously.

Otherwise, there will be no iron ore to be fired at that time, which would be embarrassing. Closing the blast furnace is a major event.

The fire-proof bricks inside the blast furnace have the possibility of bursting when the low temperature and high temperature are switched back and forth.

Fortunately, the mining work at the iron ore field is very smooth now. With the addition of personnel and equipment, the daily iron ore mining volume can reach four tons.

In the face of the 'big stomach king' of the smelter, four tons a day can barely maintain the melting fire.

Of course, the output of the iron mine is not always that low, and it will continue to increase in the future. When the third batch of miners and equipment are sent over, it will be easy to mine ten tons per day.

On the other side of the manganese ore field, because there is a perverted entry here, it produces dozens of tons of manganese ore per day.

Gooden, who got this news, was also taken aback. This output was indeed a bit excess for him, so he directly cut down his production by half and arranged for the extra people to enter the iron mine.

After inspecting the smelter, Gooden went directly to the research institute to help explain and deal with some difficult problems.

The research institute now has a lot of tasks, ranging from generator research and firearm research, to water pipes, faucets, and format hardware tools.

As for Gooden, he is now mainly helping and responsible for the heating supply of Qingyuan Town.

The cold winter is coming, and the research progress of this area has to catch up with the reconstruction and construction work. In order to prevent the progress from being dragged down, he can only come to help in person.

For a week in a row, Gooden's life trajectory was extremely regular.

In the morning, I deal with the government affairs of the territory development, and in the afternoon, I go to the research institute to help provide ideas and improvement plans.

After a week, the heating supply system was almost completed. At the same time, the population digestion of Xuegu Town was completely completed.

The work distribution of more than 700 people has been arranged in full.

In addition to the enlistment requirements of 20 people, Gooden also recruited an additional [-] female soldiers to prepare for future medical soldiers or some special situations.

Of course, the person in charge of this female soldier is naturally Irene.

Excluding the recruitment of soldiers, including the second batch of recruits from Jinyuan City, there are still more than 800 adult main males.

There are more than 300 people who have been assigned to the engineering team. Due to the lack of old workers, this large number of people can only be temporarily assigned to one or two teams to continue to lead the new with the old, and the first batch of old workers will naturally become responsible people.

The remaining [-] or so people were divided into two parts. Half participated in the mining work around Qingyuan Town, and the other half joined various factories to study.

As for the addition of the research institute, Gooden did not intend to pick it out from the manpower in Snow Valley Town so quickly.

And now the total number of people in the Engineering Research Institute has reached 150, two-thirds of them are newcomers, and none of them have yet graduated.

Then recruit new people to join, and the end result is that the research progress is constantly delayed.

Today, August 27, is also the day when Jinyuan City's third trading team came.

If everything is normal, Walsh should also bring the contract and materials endorsed by the army today.

There was no accident from Gooden. At about ten o'clock in the morning, a large convoy appeared outside the city gate, which was only half-built.

Looking at the half-built gate tower, Feroz's eyes were full of shock and surprise.

The last time I came here, this place was just a pile of wooden stakes standing here, but this time, in less than half a month, the city gate tower that was nearly fifty meters away appeared out of thin air?
Although the part of the city wall has not been built, just from this small section of the city gate tower, what Gooden said before is not a joke.

Walsh, who was also shocked, was also surprised by the speed of construction of Qingyuan Town.

For such a long period of city towers, it took less than half a month to rise from the ground. At this speed, if more people came, wouldn't it be possible to build a city in half a year?

Walsh, who has worked in the position of quartermaster for so many years, immediately sees the great potential between brick and cement.

"Lord Qingyuan, I didn't expect to be a low-key person..."

Walsh murmured secretly, then put on a smile, and got off the horse to greet Gooden who went out to meet him.

"Lord Gooden."

"Lieutenant Walsh."

After a brief greeting, the two went to the castle together.

On the way there, the group couldn't help but be amazed at the changes that occurred in Qingyuan Town in the past two weeks.

"Lord Gooden, how did you make these buildings? I just saw the gate tower, it seems to be all solid, you can actually complete this amount of work in less than half a month. …”

Facing Walsh's doubts, Gooden didn't hide it. He briefly talked about the convenience of bricks, and as for cement, he simply took it with him.

Walsh was also very interested in the special construction materials, but he didn't have a deep understanding of this topic, just a simple understanding would be the end.

In the meeting room of the castle, according to the usual practice, Feroz will first report the trade situation of the chamber of commerce.

The income this time is also similar to what Gooden expected. The salt and sugar that was pulled out in the middle of the year have only been sold out by half because of the large volume.

Of course, the amount of income is still more than [-] gold. At the same time, all kinds of seeds and materials purchased at high prices are also delivered.

There are as many as ten coal trucks. This time, because the transportation vehicles are given priority, I will bring a batch to test them first. There are still many hoarding in the warehouse in Jinyuan City.

After the copper ingots, ore, seeds, horses and other materials are confirmed to be correct, and the receipt list is signed and completed, this month's transaction is completed.

After letting old Joseph count the coins, Gooden and Walsh also began to discuss the manganese steel order.

"This is a contract drawn up by the military according to our mutual wishes. You can see if there is no problem, you can sign and confirm, the first batch of materials has been delivered, and you can also start arranging the order work."

After taking the special sheepskin contract handed over by Walsh, and looking around, it was indeed based on what they had negotiated and drafted, and there was no modification.

After confirming that it was correct, Gooden signed his name.

"I wish us a happy cooperation."

After completing the signature confirmation, the order is officially signed and won.

After a brief greeting, Gooden immediately went to start the refining of manganese steel.

For the transfer of the production center, all kinds of equipment that used to be mainly manganese steel have also been replaced with carbon steel.

The manganese steel is used in some more complex and harsh environments, such as bearing steel balls or places that need to be told of wear and collision.

As a result, the output has dropped from five hundred pounds per day to two or three hundred pounds, and now there is a new small flow forging line specially built for manganese steel, specifically for this order processing and future inventory.

……

Due to a lot of business recently, Gooden went to work on his own after greeting the two guests briefly.

For Gooden's busyness, Feroz and Walsh who came here can understand.

However, when it was time for the dinner, Gooden still attended the reception as usual.

In one afternoon, Walsh visited almost the entire Qingyuan Town.

Walsh was also a little surprised that a border town could have such a dynamic development.

And for the construction of the city wall, he also personally observed it for a while, and also felt the convenience and expanded applicability of this material.

To know that the frontline battle is coming, the border city is now frantically accumulating stones for the siege defense battle that may be faced in the future.

Now the moving bricks in front of us, although the single piece is slightly fragile, but after the overall transportation and components, its hardness and performance are not worse than ordinary stone.

And the most important thing is that gray coating, that thing sticks the bricks firmly and creates a hard exterior.

In Walsh's eyes, this thing is a potential strategic material. Just imagine that it would take at least three or five days to repair the city wall or fill the hole.

If we continue to attack at this time, it will take at least ten days and a half to fill a hole back and forth.

But with the bricks and the corresponding cement, the enemy's attack for several days can be smoothed out in one night, which can't make the opposing commander vomit blood?

As a result, Walsh, who has a certain purchasing authority, also raised his optimism about slabs and cement at the dinner party.

"Lord Gooden, do you have any intention of selling your bricks and cement?"

"Huh? Army order? What do you want this thing for?"

Facing Walsh's question, Gooden looked a little surprised, and then asked back.

"I'm going to tell you the truth. The border cities on the front line have been overturned and repaired many times during the wars over the years. Up to now, it takes 10:30 months to repair after each war..."

Walsh also goes all out for this fact, and only expresses interest in it.

Gooden also has plans for the sale of bricks and cement, but not now.

Today's Qingyuan Town is lacking in various senses, lacking people, materials, and building materials.

Things like slabs and cement can only be used for personal use at present, and I am afraid that if they are sold out, they will have to wait until next year.

Facing Walsh's interest, Gooden also explained his situation to the other party.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry. It will be next year if the war really starts. I just make a suggestion. If the above can approve it, I am afraid that the order for manganese steel has just ended, and you will have to work on another order."
