Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 200 Well, this is called professionalism
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars cover the deep blue night sky like velvet. The sky, which has not been polluted by industrialization, looks particularly clean.

Although the natural resources of the Taiman Islands are not rich.

But even if you count the entire Bantayan Archipelago, which has thousands of islands, this is one of the most scenic holiday destinations.

Catherine and Violet felt they had met too late. If it weren't for Byron, they would have continued to sleep side by side and talk late into the night.

Byron had just finished dinner with them, feeling a little bit unappetizing.

He was soon driven out of the Governor's Mansion by Catherine, who urged him to work hard with his like-minded best friend and hurry back to Torrent Fortress to start work.

Walking with Violet on the white sand beach under the moonlight, Byron had not yet fully realized how things had turned out to be the way they were.

"What are you standing there for? Come on, hold my shoes for me."

Byron looked down and saw that Violet had already taken off her high heels and was walking barefoot on the white sand, leaving a string of small and exquisite footprints.

After just two steps, he hooked his fingers around the slender straps of the high-heeled shoes and handed them to him, giving orders smugly.

Under the influence of the [Golden Law], only Byron has higher authority than Catherine, and only by his side can Catherine's perception be blocked.

No one else saw, and Violet immediately dropped her disguise and returned to her true self.

Seeing Byron’s surprise, Violet couldn’t help but purse her light cherry lips:
"What's the matter? Didn't you hear what my best friend Catherine said, that you should treat me the same way you treat her in the future?

Now I have become her confidant.

And didn’t we make a bet that if I can settle the matter, you will call me good sister three times?

Little Byron, face the reality. Your status in this family has been reduced.

Do you still want to deny it?"

Byron thought to himself:

"It's hard to tell whether you are a confidant or a serious threat who emptied her wallet."

However, a man without faith cannot stand. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He could only cough and call out softly in an unnatural way:
"Good sister."

Although he was not sure whether this was part of his brother's job responsibility, he still took the pair of high heels obediently.

Violet immediately smiled, her sapphire eyes turning into crescents:

"Haha, that's good.

In the past, her witch mother disappeared when she returned to the Old World to visit her relatives, and her father went out to sea all day for his ideal of "whaling".

I searched the entire Anchor Bay but couldn't find a friend of my age or status.

When I am alone at home, besides reading, what I want most is to have a younger brother or sister to play with.

From now on, I will protect you and save a portion of the good things for you, hahaha."

Apparently this Taiwanese princess did not have a very happy childhood.

Although she only picked up a half-used brother from someone else, the person was Byron, which naturally made her very happy.

The two's "Orphan Alliance" has taken a step further.

Of course, no one knows whether the girl has other thoughts in mind.

The girl jumped up on the beach with her skirt lifted up, and her laughter like a silver bell echoed far away on the beach.

It was not until this time that she showed some of the innocence that a girl of her age should have.

When they passed by two tall coconut trees, she pulled Byron's sleeve again and said coquettishly:

"Byron, this is my first time in the tropics. I see green coconuts hanging on the trees. I want to drink coconut juice."

After Byron accepted his new position and felt the first call of "sister", he no longer had any psychological barriers to the subsequent ones.

I have done all these things with Catherine anyway. It's the same whether you drive one sheep or let two sheep go.

He raised his hand to summon a strong wind, which blew down two coconuts from the tree, and with a touch of his fingertips, he made two small holes in the hard coconut shells.

He handed one to Violet and kept one for himself.

The two of them drank coconut juice and strolled on the beach, feeling more and more like they were on vacation.

The moonlight is like water and the weather is neither cold nor hot.

From time to time, you can see crabs as big as millstones running rampant on the beach, and turtles larger than carriages leaving a long gully behind.
A red starfish stranded on the beach is as big as a dinghy
Everything was very new to Violet, who had just arrived in the Bantaan Islands.

The further she went on the extraordinary path of forbidden knowledge [Disaster Curse], the closer she felt to the sea.

Especially the second sublimation ceremony in the next step, which will allow her to transform into a non-human extraordinary species and gain the ability to transform into three types of aquatic monsters.

'The forbidden book says that what one will turn into is completely random, and there are hundreds of recorded monsters and supernatural beings.

Among them, the image of the [Mermaid] is okay, and the [Harpy Siren], a humanoid monster singing in the storm, is barely acceptable.

But if you randomly get other weird things'

Subconsciously, he glanced at Byron beside him.

'It may not be so easy to accept.'

When Byron noticed that the girl was looking at him secretly, he touched his cheek, thinking there was something on his face.

"what happened?"

Of course, the girl couldn’t say what she was thinking, so Violet changed the subject lightly:

“It’s okay. I just feel like the further away from the Old World we are, the further away the ecosystem is from the real world and the closer it is to myths.

In the Old World, creatures of this size are rare.

I don’t know what the unknown world my father went to after leaving the Bantaan Islands will be like.”

Hearing this, Byron thought that she was reminded of someone by the sight of the object, and hurriedly comforted her:

“My insider [Fat Dragon] is currently trying to find out what happened when the two pirate kings met inside the Barbary Pirates.

If it doesn't work, we can wait until we are stronger and then go directly to the suspected fourth-tier hero, [Blue Hair] Barbarossa Hailding to ask for clarification.

At that time, he was ambushed by the Havana Governor and a large number of elite third-level boarding troops. I heard that one of his arms was cut off. I don’t know if it was reattached. "Violet felt warm in her heart, knowing that although Byron was cruel to his enemies, he was extremely reliable to his own people and never boasted.

Even when he makes promises to his subordinates, he doesn't just make them and leave it at that like others do. Instead, he means what he says and really sticks to it.

I couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and pat his shoulder:

“Well, however, your current rank is still a bit too low.

Only when personal strength and external forces develop simultaneously can there be no shortcomings.

In addition to the need to be promoted to the third level as quickly as possible, our industrialization also requires more massive original accumulation.

This is also the meaning of "force is better than hard work".

After all, it is much better to plunder others than to exploit oneself internally.

The future is bright, but the road is tortuous. Mr. Byron, you still have to work hard to rob, no, to complete the primitive accumulation. "

After saying this, he took Byron's hand and waved his hand with full of energy:
"Let's go, let's go home and start working. Go, go, go!"

Byron nodded, pulled the girl up into the sky, and blew the conch shell when they were about to fall into the sea.

The large sea monster [Fiddler Crab], which had become their exclusive means of transportation, shook its giant claws, started the "deep sea jump", and took them back to Rapids Harbor.

Violet is a man of action and is quick to get into work.

After obtaining the key item, Crystal Skull No. 8 [Quetzalcoatl], the speed became even faster.

Although Crystal Skull No. 8 cannot be used for large-scale production, it can ignore the process and directly process key production equipment on a small scale.

Even if you are the jewel in the crown of industry, as long as you give it the blueprint, operating principles and raw materials, you can make one by hand.

On the second day after returning to Stromfortress.

An iron-smelting blast furnace, which had already been remotely demonstrated and modified countless times by the two of them, was transformed from a blueprint into a real thing and rose from the ground near the mine.

The whole is a steel shell vertical furnace with a circular cross section.

The furnace shell is made of steel plates, and the shell is lined with refractory bricks. The blast furnace body is divided into five parts from top to bottom: furnace throat, furnace body, furnace waist, furnace belly, and furnace hearth.

The furnace belly is 7.5 meters high, the furnace hearth diameter is 3.5 meters, the volume is 477 cubic meters, and the designed production capacity is 230 tons per day.

Byron could easily recall all the details of what he had seen in his previous life, but he was only interested in these things and never sought to understand them in depth.

If you want to truly replicate it, you need the help of real professionals.

He told Violet what he could remember, and she used her ability as the Master Craftsman to analyze the principles.

The ability of Crystal Skull No. 8 [Morning Star·Light of Knowledge] is similar to her [Alchemy].

They complement each other and their power is doubled.

This is the only way to turn ideas into reality in a very short time.

"This is called professionalism!"

Looking at the pitch-black monster in front of him, Byron couldn't help but sigh.

Your greatest usefulness is to find various professionals to help you, and then be responsible for standing on the shoulders of giants and giving instructions.

"Push the raw materials up and start the furnace!"

Violet was wearing a shirt and canvas overalls, and had a pair of brown goggles on her face.

The equipment alone is so professional that investors feel safe and feel that the money is well spent.

Because coking is relatively simple, it only requires heating the coal in a boiler furnace to above 850°C.

As the temperature rises, the organic matter in the coal decomposes, and after the volatile products escape, the remaining non-volatile product is coke.

Before Violet arrived, the corresponding coking equipment had already been put into production, continuously converting coal from the inland of Yucatán Island into coke for ironmaking.

"Yes, start the furnace and add materials."

A group of very useful [Bear Spirit Warriors] moved upon hearing the order.

Iron ore, coke, and limestone, a flux for slag making, are loaded from the top of the furnace, and preheated air is blown in from eight tuyere openings located along the circumference of the furnace at the bottom of the furnace.

The overall principle is to allow the carbon in the coke and the oxygen in the air to burn at high temperature to generate carbon monoxide, which removes oxygen from the iron ore as it rises in the furnace, thereby reducing it to iron.

The first time the furnace is started up, it takes an extremely long time. Once the blast furnace is stable, continuous production can be carried out day and night.

The fire burned for three days and three nights before it finally reached the standard.

"Pour out the molten iron."

Following Violet's order, Byron, who had taken full body protection, personally picked up the iron hook and pulled open the furnace door of the iron outlet at the side of the blast furnace.

call--!
The heat surged so fast that it could almost singe the hair.

Amidst the flying iron sparks, orange-red molten iron gushed out of the blast furnace, then flowed through the intermediate tank and slowly poured into the water-cooled crystallizer.

The molten iron is discharged from the iron mouth, and then the unreduced impurities in the iron ore combine with flux such as limestone to form slag, which is discharged from the slag mouth.

The generated gas is discharged from the top of the furnace and, after dust removal, is used as fuel for hot blast stoves, heating furnaces, coke ovens, boilers, etc.

As soon as the pig iron ingot turned black and took shape, warm cheers rang out from the spectators, and everyone's face was covered with a layer of red glow.

"oh--!"

"Ah, it's done!"

"Hahaha, it really worked. With this blast furnace, the huge consumption of charcoal and inefficient iron smelting will eventually be swept into the dustbin of history."

Byron even used the navigation log to directly read the parameters of the iron ingots produced by this furnace.

225 tons, enough to cast 64 3.5-pound cannons weighing 32 tons!

Just when there was jubilation in the metallurgical factory.

The blast furnace also burst into golden light.

The epoch-making excellent production capacity allowed this blast furnace to transform into a powerful second-level holy relic - [Iron Smelting Blast Furnace] in an instant!
