With full of doubts, Claude trotted to the first workshop. With his excellent eyesight, he saw the old housekeeper and the young man, and at the same time he also saw the things around them. Since this thing surprised him, it also

Make him feel happy.

It turned out that in addition to the carriage for two people, there were two steam mine carts specially used to transport raw ore.

This kind of steam mine car is a new product that only appeared this year. It is said that it was transformed from a rail steam car. There were three of them for sale in the Port of Sète at that time. However, due to problems such as road conditions and loading capacity, these three mine cars have been kept for a long time.

No one cared about it, and in the end, when the seller was considering whether to ship the thing back, Leo bought it at a very low price.

Two of them were placed in the smelting plant to transport ore, and the other was placed in the machinery factory to transport finished goods to the dock. In order to allow these three mining carts to be used normally, Leo even modified these three carts.

Minecarts often need to use several roads so that the roads can bear the weight of these three vehicles.

Originally, the two steam cars of the smelting plant went specifically to the dock to load the raw ore shipped by ship, and sent it to the first smelting furnace for initial decomposition and smelting. But now the two cars are not loaded with raw ore that looks similar to rocks.

The ore is actually some discarded waste slag.

And these waste slags that no one would pick up if they were thrown on the roadside, had another meaning in Claude's eyes. In his opinion, this was a signal, a signal that his suggestion had been approved and taken seriously, otherwise

If so, it is impossible for the boss who has never shown up to come in person.

Not long ago, when one of Claude's technicians was chatting, he said that with the ultra-high temperature of the new smelting furnace, the previous waste slag can be refining.

At that time, he did not fully trust the words of his subordinate. Instead, when the furnace was opened, he separated a separate area for some waste slag, and then sent the waste slag and raw ore into the smelting furnace.

The results are both expected and unexpected. The expected thing is that the ultra-high temperature of the new smelting furnace can indeed refining the waste slag. The process is very smooth. The unexpected thing is that the waste slag is extracted from the waste slag.

The amount of metal far exceeded expectations, reaching almost 50%.

You must know that other smelters can only extract various metals from raw ore when smelting raw ore, and the maximum extraction is only 60%, and the rest is all waste slag that cannot be refined.

The new smelting furnace can actually extract about 50% of the total weight of metal from waste slag. In this way, these waste slags that no one cares about have become treasures.

A large amount of waste slag is purchased at a high price to extract special metals with higher value.

After getting the desired result, Claude immediately wrote an extremely detailed proposal and personally delivered the proposal to the apartment and handed it to the old housekeeper.

However, what disappointed him was that there was no news about his proposal for a period of time, which made him think that his proposal had failed. However, he did not give up and decided to write another proposal before sending it over.

What he didn't expect was that just when he had this idea, things took a turn for the better. The boss came to the scene in person and brought two trucks of slag. Apparently he wanted to see the effect of the on-site operation.

"Hello, Your Excellency, hello, Butler Sanges." Quickly walked up to the old butler and the young man, Claude saluted the old butler and the young man very respectfully, and said.

Leo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He originally purchased this factory mainly because it was cheap, well-equipped, and had good infrastructure. It could save a lot of trouble and time in his renovation work, but he

What I didn't expect was that when I bought the factory, I would also get a good talent.

In the beginning, Claude Lee was appointed as the factory director. It was entirely out of Butler Sanges' selfish desire to repay his kindness. Butler Sanges mentioned this to Leo in advance. Leo didn't care about it. He only cared about the factory.

Whether it can be reorganized according to his requirements and re-operated.

Later, Claude Lee's performance was really unexpected. Although he had no experience in managing a factory, he was very good at learning and was steady in his work. He quickly got into the state and successfully completed the reorganization and transformation of the factory, becoming

Among the several factories he acquired, he became the first factory to operate normally.

So when Butler Sanges suggested that he should be specially trained and promoted to the management of the Machinery Group in the future, Leo did not veto it, but nodded and agreed to the proposal.

"I've read your proposal, it's very good." Leo praised Claude Lee, and when a smile appeared on the other person's face, he said, "But I reject your proposal."

The smile on Claude Lee's face faded before it fully appeared. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to ask Leo the reason, but in the end he did not say anything, but nodded with a disappointed tone: "Yes, I know.

Already."

"Aren't you curious why sir vetoed your suggestion?" Butler Sanges couldn't help but ask.

"I'm very curious." Claude Lee said truthfully: "However, I think sir should have his own opinion. Maybe there are some huge loopholes in my proposal, or maybe the content of the proposal is incomplete."

"Don't think too wildly. There are no loopholes in your proposal and it is very complete." Before the butler could speak, Leo took the initiative to explain: "It's just that when you wrote the proposal, you probably didn't even think about what would happen if we actually followed your suggestion.

If you put this book into practice, what will be the consequences?"

Claude Li was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Leo meant, but he soon woke up, with a panic look on his face, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead because of nervousness.

As Leo said, if the proposal is implemented in full, they will soon become the public enemy of the entire Kingdom of England's smelting industry. Not only the Kingdom of England, but also the smelting industries of other kingdoms will be hostile.

They, the Maris Kingdom, which is based on smelting, are more likely to regard it as a national enemy. When the time comes, they will either reveal the technology of the new smelting furnace, or they will encounter endless blows until the entire machinery group completely collapses.

.

"Don't be nervous. It's normal that you didn't think of these things. Your proposal is very good, but the execution time is wrong. I have archived the proposal as a preliminary plan and will implement it when the time is right." Leo didn't want to see someone.

The confidence of those who can free him from complicated things is damaged, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comforted him a few words, and then deliberately changed the subject and said: "I want to use this smelting furnace today.

All related matters have been postponed.”

"Are you going to smelt these two carts of slag?" Claude Li's nervousness eased slightly with Leo's relief, and he quickly returned to his original work state, pointing at the two

Carting slag, asked.

Leo nodded and said, "Yes."

"I will arrange for someone to do this immediately." Claude Lee replied, turning around and pointing to the small office building directly opposite the smelting furnace, and said: "Sir, where can you and Butler Sanges rest?

, I will inform you when it is ready, and you can see the working status of the entire smelting furnace there, which will also be convenient for you to command."

Leo accepted Claude Li's proposal, gave a few instructions, and walked to the workshop office with the housekeeper under the gaze of everyone full of curiosity and awe.

At this time, everyone in the office stood up. When Leo came in, they saluted Leo very respectfully. Although they did not say it explicitly, from the attitudes of the old housekeeper and the factory director, they already knew who the person in front of them was.

.

Leo ignored everyone's flattery, and with awe-inspiring eyes, he motioned for everyone to continue their work. Then he moved a chair and sat by the window of the office, watching the situation of the smelting furnace in front.

Originally, Leo did not come to the smelter with such a big fanfare to smelt the mutated waste slag, but when he cleaned it up, there were too many mutated waste slag. Not to mention smelting, even transportation was a problem.

It's no longer something he can solve alone.

Therefore, he called the steam locomotive from the smelting plant and asked the workers of the smelting plant to help clean up the waste slag. It took almost two trucks to completely clean up all the mutated waste slag.

In the process of cleaning up the waste slag, Leo also tried repeatedly to use various powers to stimulate the mutated slag, but the result was that the powers of Velen's native gods such as psychic powers and web weavers were useless, but those of the outside gods

Power can have some effects on this ore, such as Chaos Fool, Lord of Turbidity and Ethereality, etc.

It can be seen that the shadow of the god on Clumber did not come from any god of vengeance at all, or it was a god of vengeance in the past. It was just that after the god of vengeance disappeared, a new god's shadow attached to him, and this god was

An alien god.

Leo has come into contact with quite a few alien gods, but this is the first time he has seen an alien god who can let his will enter the world of Velen and attach to a person. He doesn't think his psychic impact can

What harm would it cause to such a powerful alien god's will body, so he speculated that the mutated slag might be the last resort of this alien god's will body.

According to Leo's idea, he is unwilling to connect to the affairs of Ancient God Velen and the Outer Gods. Those are things beyond his imagination. He is just an inconspicuous little insect, but now he has encountered the Outer Gods.

Moreover, there was a conflict. He didn't think that once this mysterious alien god calmed down, he would forgive him for killing one of his will parasites, so what he had to do was to prevent this alien god from having any chance to attack him.

As Leo fell into thinking, the smelting furnace in front of the office had been ignited under the skillful operation of the workers, and a large amount of fuel was added to start burning the furnace. Streams of flames spurted out from the holes above the furnace, forming a two or three

The meter-long flame tongue made the entire furnace look like a fire-breathing monster from a distance.

This smelting furnace was modified by Leo based on the best steel-making furnace in the old earth era. In terms of efficiency, it is much worse than the steel-making furnace in the old earth era, but compared with other furnaces in the Velen world.

, obviously this new furnace that incorporates earth casting technology is much stronger.

Leo didn't know whether the temperature of this furnace could melt the slag and extract the substances that caused the slag mutation, but he had no other choice, because he believed that among the furnaces in the entire Velen world, there was probably no furnace with a temperature that could match the temperature of the furnace.

The furnace he renovated was comparable to the furnace. If even this furnace couldn't solve the problem, then he could only try a volcano to see if he could solve this problem by borrowing the power of nature.

At this time, the furnace burning process was completed, and the worker observing the temperature signaled to Claude Lee, who was waiting not far from the furnace, indicating that the materials could be fed.

Claude Lee did not make a decision without authorization, but quickly came to the office and asked Leo for instructions.

Leo did not show any impatience with Claude Lee's somewhat unnecessary actions. Instead, he took the initiative to praise Claude Lee in front of the management of the surrounding factories, and then told him to start feeding materials.

Although Claude Lee was not lacking in management, his promotion speed was too fast. In addition, when he was an accountant, he had not dealt with other people in the factory, which made some people in the factory have some cautious thoughts.

, so what Leo did was to express his support for Claude Lee and make some cautious people in the factory stop their thoughts.

As Leo's instructions were promulgated, the ore on the steam locomotive was manually shoveled into the charging truck. Because of Leo's instructions, the workers were particularly careful when cleaning the slag, even if a small amount of slag fell on the ground.

They will also pick it up and put it into the feeding truck to make sure nothing is missed.

Soon the two carts of slag were all put into the furnace crucible. Under the control of the workers, a stone door made of heavy cold rock slowly fell down to cover the feeding port. A large amount of special charcoal and tree oil were put into the furnace.

Inside the fuel tank, raise the temperature inside the furnace.

The technician in charge of the observation carefully checked the situation in the furnace through the observation hole, and kept issuing command-like shouts, asking the worker in charge of the air holes to close the air holes according to certain rules.

At this time, Leo also stood up from his chair and walked to the window, staring at the furnace with a particularly serious expression on his face.

People around him thought that Leo was nervous about the effect of smelting slag, so someone approached him with the data from previous smelting slags. It seemed that they wanted to get close to Leo by solving his doubts.

, to get an opportunity for promotion.

However, before they even got close, they were stopped by the old housekeeper and motioned for them to do their own thing, which made these thoughtful people quite frustrated.

However, they didn't know that no matter how complete they prepared the documents and data for previous experiments on smelting slag, it would not arouse any interest from Leo, because Leo's attention was not focused on the furnace at all, but on
Chapter completed!
