Ancient Rome: From Slaveholder to Supreme Emperor

Chapter 304 is out of iron

“I think Satan will be very happy to hear these views of yours with his own ears, he is not wrong about you. . . .

Aurelia smiled comfortably.

“You are right! Don’t look at Malu and Qinna, and your grandfather, they were all allies of us and Satan before, that was because at that time our Julius family hadn’t fallen, and it was still in its prime, because who was that? Satan hasn’t grown up yet! But it’s different now, we Julius have fallen and lost all qualifications from the Senate. And Satan has grown so terribly, if there is no accident, it won’t be long before he will replace us In a lost seat in the Senate, after the war, he will be the favorite to be the next consul! Between his achievements and the speed of his growth, coupled with his youth, he has a good chance of being re-elected. I Being able to see these, how could the Senate not see it?

Aurelia sneered and said: “That is to say, Satan will soon become the most feared existence of all the elders, and will also become the biggest competitor of the road!”

“So, in the case of the Chamber of Commerce, it’s best not to let the people of the Senate get involved, at least we won’t take the initiative to find them! When someone joins actively and is willing to accept our harsh requirements and agreements, it means that they are willing to follow or surrender to Satan. Only we can accept them, with the exception of Victor of course, Satan is very optimistic about him, and he has not let Satan down

Aurelia smiled coldly, these are what Ye Tian personally explained to her.

“Rose, it’s a good target! This woman has some means, and now the Sura family is basically under her control, and she is basically under Satan’s control!

Taking a deep breath, Aurelia said slowly: “In addition, there are two followers of Satan in Rome, one is the slave owner Philip, and the other is the wealthy businessman Max. Satan is watching. As long as Satan says a word, they will definitely join the Chamber of Commerce, but Satan asks you to persuade them yourself, it can be regarded as an exercise for you.

“Well, I’ll try my best!”

Keisha clenched her small fists tightly, cheering herself up.

Before and after, half a month has passed.

Today is the day of blast furnace ironmaking.

Ye Tian was present in person.

The blast furnace is only a few meters high.

The process of blast furnace ironmaking is very simple. Limestone, charcoal, and iron ore are poured from the upper end in a certain proportion. Under the extreme high temperature, the iron ore melts into molten iron, which flows out from the lower outlet, and in the process of high temperature , the iron of iron ore is reduced.

The function of limestone is to act as a flux, so that impurities in the iron ore become slag, which is separated from the molten iron.

Several blowers are connected above the slag outlet, and at the same time blow air, so that the temperature in the blast furnace becomes very high.

These technological processes are the simplest, and Ye Tian has omitted all other exhaust gas treatment and recycling. At this time, it is too ridiculous to talk about resource recycling and environmental protection, and it is far from that. degree of need.

“ignition!!”

Ye Tian shouted and gave the order in person, so a slave started to ignite.

“Blast!!”

When the flames were burning vigorously, Ye Tian ordered again, and several blowers shook the huge blower together, making the temperature in the furnace extremely high.

“Feed in!

Ye Tian was extremely excited and looked forward to it.

Several slaves stepped on the stairs at the same time, and put limestone, charcoal and iron ore into it according to the proportions explained by Ye Tian.

“Increase the blast, if you don’t have the strength, change people immediately!

Ye Tian hurriedly shouted.

“buzz, buzz, buzz”

The slaves were desperately blowing the wind, causing several blowers to hum, and a large amount of air was blown in, making the inside of the furnace turn red. It didn’t take long for the terrifying temperature to emanate from the furnace wall, Ye Tian seemed to see The iron ore in the blast furnace is slowly melting.

When the slaves saw Ye Tian looking forward to it, they also forgot their hearts and looked forward to it, hoping that this time it would be successful.

Ye Tian treats them really well. He feeds them every day, and the working hours are greatly shortened. They are very grateful to have such a master.

Therefore, everyone’s loyalty to Ye Tian reached more than sixty.

…for flowers…

Ye Tian estimated the time, hurriedly shouted, and manually picked out the slag in the furnace.

“Hot iron!

Ye Tian shouted loudly.

According to what Ye Tian told them before, several slaves hurriedly put the big vat made of refractory clay into the tap hole, and then carefully opened the tap hole.

“Wow la la..”

The red, tumbling molten iron slowly flowed into the huge vat, and thick white smoke instantly rose.

“Haha it’s done! It’s successful, it’s really successful! Haha..

Seeing the moment when the iron was cast, Ye Tian couldn’t help laughing, extremely excited, extremely happy, and his heart was simply ecstasy.

.00

Successfully smelting iron in a blast furnace, he will begin to control the most terrifying war resource of this era.

It won’t be long before the Senate of Rome will kneel and lick him, and once his chamber of commerce model is set up, he will be the uncrowned king of Rome.

“All the other iron furnaces, set fire to me, and follow the steps I just took slowly…”

Ye Tian ordered that many such iron-making furnaces have been built around this mine.

Before long, Ye Tian will accumulate the most massive amount of steel.

Of course, the steel he currently produces must first meet his own needs.

Steel was definitely a scarce war resource in this period.

Within two months, he plans to arm his warriors with steel to the teeth, and then start to push southwards, attacking the city and grabbing territory.

“The soldiers have obeyed the order. I want you to block the mines at all times, build military camps here, and expel all strangers who dare to approach. If there are spies, don’t ask me, and kill them all! Without instructions, anyone here dares to do it without authorization. Leave, don’t ask for instructions, shoot and kill!! Although you have been eliminated, you are still my fighters. Although you cannot set foot on the battlefield, this is still the place where you have made achievements! And the way to make achievements is very simple, as long as nothing happens, it is The greatest feat, I will take your family back to my territory..

Ye Tian ordered to those who were eliminated from the war slaves.
