Chapter 657 (2/2)

When Roland arrived at this new Furnace Area with his City Hall officials, this new furnace had been surrounded by a large number of curious experienced workers

”Your Majesty, can this stove make steel? It doesn't even have a fire place” Lesya of the Ministry of Construction had asked the same question, but he had still built it up in strict accordance with Roland's design This converter's cobird's help, their heavy weight had not caused any trouble during the construction which was finished in just a week

Roland s that produces heat Let the workers get ready for the equipment's first test run”

Roland had co facilities, open hearth furnace, converter, and electric furnace He had firstly ruled out electric furnace because of the lack of necessary conditions and decided on a converter after a long and thoughtful consideration

With the si the three choices, an open hearth furnace was similar to a traditional snificant drawback in energy consu, which would definitely pose a threat to Neverwinter's liy resources Given that its coal mines were located far away at the source of the Redwater River and that its coking plant was just put into use and could barelyopen hearth steele of fuel

Choosing a converter would avoid such a problem, as it hardly cost any fuel It kept the liquid iron at a high teenerated by the oxidation of ianese, silicon and carbon

The other shortcoe area and a long senerator should be built for an open hearth furnace to heat the air in advance, andeach batch of liquid steel would took this facility over half a day By comparison, a converter took up less room, as it needed no additional device and its orbit could double as a transmission line for the liquid steel It also workedprocess only took dozens oftiy was mature

In view of these two points, Roland decided to choose converters as the main facilities for Neverwinter's steel production

The workers used an steaots into the furnace shaped like a pear

”Anna, make a fire”

She nodded and walked up the stairs to the top of the converter She suots into liquid iron in a short time, and the hot red liquid soon lit up her face

He planned to use the liquid iron produced by the blast furnace for this steel mill in mass production That was the reason why he built it here in the Furnace Area

He said to the leader of the steel pipe into the furnace mouth”

This was the first time for them to use a converter, but for these experienced workers who had operated si this pipe was as easy as controlling a trailer In the booine, a steel pipe slowly fell into the furnace from the top

The other end of the pipe was connected to a coated flexible tube which led to an air puen-rich air was inhaled into the converter, raging flae sparkles splattered fro white flames made it hard for people around to open their eyes

All the officials ot a sense of fulfill on his face

He saw these fla a new era
