Chapter 119 Make a Bet

However, the temperature in this triangular-structured blast furnace will be much higher than that of a traditional furnace. The specific temperature is not known.

The last time Willy was asked to make a gun head, Linn went to the blacksmith shop to see it and was really surprised.

At that time, he understood one thing. In fact, the foundation of this world was not that bad. In some aspects, it was even beyond his expectation.

Lin En personally mixed lime powder, iron powder and other materials, made preliminary preparations and placed them in the blast furnace.

"Start burning!" Linn's tone was trembling.

Even he was very nervous, because the meaning of cement is not simple. It can be used to pave roads, build houses, build towers, etc.

Houses built with cement are better than wooden houses in terms of safety and protection from wind and rain. Roads paved with cement are clean and smooth. As long as there is no extreme weight squeeze, theoretically there will be no problem in using them for more than ten years.

If cement is used to build a defensive barrier, the strength will be several times stronger than the current noble city wall.

Currently, the town's demand for cement is very large, and it will be even more indispensable in the future.

Willy began to heat the blast furnace continuously. He was completely confused about what the lord was going to do. He didn't understand why he was doing this. But who is the lord? He still had to obey.

As time passed slowly, due to the continuous increase in the temperature in the furnace, the people staying around were also roasted by the high temperature, and their faces were hot and red.

The lord did not leave, and they did not dare to leave.

"Sir, can you take a look?" Willy said suddenly.

Lin En looked at the situation inside through the mouth of the blast furnace. After appraising that it was almost done, he said: "Turn off the flame!"

As the flames gradually extinguished, the blast furnace was opened, and the temperature inside was released all of a sudden. People who were close to it felt as if the flames were burning on their faces, and they stepped back one after another.

Lin En borrowed a tool to take out the clinker inside. It was different from the cement in his impression. The overall color was darker. He estimated that it was because too much iron powder was added.

After placing the clinkers on the ground, Linn mixed the prepared sand together, added water, and kept stirring.

Originally, Lin En, a nobleman, did not need to do these tasks, but he had to control them personally.

After the cement was arranged, Linn placed it on the stone slab, then pressed another stone slab on top and squeezed it hard.

He placed the two slabs of stone outside and let them blow in the wind.

Harvey finally couldn't help it anymore, "What on earth are you doing with this cement? Why do you put it in the middle of two stone slabs?"

Others also looked puzzled.

"Nature has made them stick together forever, and no one can take them apart."

"I don't believe it." Harvey shook his head, "This thing can stick to things, it's so funny."

Karis scolded, "If you dare to talk to me like this again, I will throw you into the mining area to mine."

Harvey stuck out his tongue, "Lulu, I can run."

Lin En smiled and said, "Well, I'll make a bet with you. If you can open it, I'll give you a gold coin."

Hearing the gold coins, Harvey's eyes immediately lit up, "Okay, okay."

"But if you lose, you won't be able to leave here casually for at least half a year." Linn said.

Harvey immediately hesitated, and Linn took out the gold coins from his pocket and tossed them up and down. They were so dazzling.

"I promise!" Harvey shouted.

Lin En had a smile on his face. Even if the cement failed, it would only cost a gold coin, but if it succeeded, it would mean that Harvey would be tied to the territory for half a year.

During this period of contact, he understood some of Harvey's character. He was clearly not a knight, but an assassin and part-time wet nurse, but he followed the virtues of a knight.

More like a knight than some formal knights.

As time passed, Linn saw that the cement inside the stone slab had completely solidified. He picked it up and broke it hard, but the stone slab did not move at all.

Success!

Linn threw the slate to Harvey casually, "Let's try it."

Harvey took the slate and pulled hard on both sides, but found that there was no change in the slate. He did not believe in evil. There were veins on his hands, and there were even faint lines.

Lin En raised his eyebrows, this kid had quite a lot to hide.

But no matter how hard Harvey tried, the slate remained the same, but it was the sweaty look on his face that made many people laugh.

Harvey threw the slate and said, "If you can't open it, I lose."

He was furious and put his hands on his hips, "If I were stronger, I could definitely get it open."

Linn gave the slate to Miles, "You are an official knight. Your physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Use your greatest strength to break it."

Miles nodded, took a deep breath, and exerted force with his hands. In an instant, a large number of veins appeared on his arms.

Click!

A crisp voice sounded, and everyone looked over.

In Miles' hands, the slate shattered, but the cracks were in the parts that were not cemented.

Harvey's big eyes blinked, and he never said that he could succeed if he was stronger.

Miles was surprised, "Sir, this cement is amazing."

Lin En looked around and said, "You have all seen that even a formal knight can break the stone slab at most. If it is replaced by an iron plate, I don't know if the earth knight can do it, at least no knights below the intermediate knight can do it. Let’s break down the method. If cement is used to build a house, should it be stronger? If it is used to pave the ground, then no matter how hard it is, it will not be damaged.”

Everyone around them was thinking about it, but they couldn't imagine that kind of scene at all.

If the house is built with cement instead of wood, wouldn't it look like a noble castle? Is this really good?

Lin En did not continue to say more. They would only realize the benefits of cement after using it.

"Any limestone found in the future will be stored separately. You can continue to do your own business."

The serfs heard this and hurriedly left. They all regretted watching the fun here. If they hadn't worked for so long, it would have delayed their work points. But they didn't dare to leave before.

Linn looked at Willy, "Is there any possibility of improving this blast furnace?"

Willy nodded, "Yes!"

"Oh, tell me."

Willy put forward his idea. Since the last time he made the gun head, he knew that the lord is a person who likes to listen to other people's ideas. If he still hides it, he will make the lord disgusted.

His idea is very simple. There are three points to improve the blast furnace. One is the size and furnace mouth, the other is the raw materials for burning the fire. The last is the material problem. If these three problems can be solved, then the temperature of the blast furnace can continue to increase. .
