Pirate Kingship

Looking at the dazzling and powerful extraordinary aura in front of him, Byron immediately threw [Echoes of History] over.

The logbook was updated accordingly.

[Second-level Holy Relic: Blast Furnace for Ironmaking]

Deeds: Creatively realized industrialized coke ironmaking, with simple process, large output, high labor productivity, and low energy consumption. It undoubtedly set off a profound revolution in pig iron production!

Effect:

"1. Fine-tuning of ingredients

The [Warrior's Cup] used to hold blood brew can automatically adjust and separate the ingredients in the liquid, and can even desalinate seawater.

The iron-making blast furnace can also automatically adjust the element content in the finished product.

As we all know, the carbon content of less than 0.0218% is called wrought iron or pure iron, the content of 0.0218-2.11% is called steel, and the content of more than 2% is called pig iron.

Wrought iron is soft, plastic, easy to deform, low in strength and hardness, and not widely used;

Pig iron contains a lot of carbon, is hard and brittle, and has almost no plasticity;

The steel between the two not only has good plasticity, but also has high strength, good toughness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, easy processing, impact resistance, easy refining, and excellent material properties.

At the same time, low-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel, high-carbon steel, and alloy steel have different uses.

With this ability , no need to make additional steel, as long as the furnace is turned on, you can get as much carbon content as you want.

Even refining alloy steel and stainless steel is easy.

2. Increase production by 1%.

With the promotion of blast furnace technology, the space inside the holy relic will also increase accordingly.

Others use the blast furnace ironmaking technology you invented. No matter how much steel they produce, this blast furnace will steal 1% out of thin air as a technology dividend. "

Byron suppressed his excitement and stroked this huge holy relic:

"In addition to the [Golden Toilet], the second holy relic created by applying the knowledge of the previous life has finally been born.

However, although the second function is good, it should not be used in the next ten years.

The first function is now a miracle! "

The original intention of the invention-type [holy relic] is to reward technological innovation and use popularizable technology to enhance the overall strength of the human race.

But for Byron personally, the dimensionality reduction attack from the technological advantage in his hands is far more cost-effective than stealing a few manhole covers from others.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry. After all, even if technology developed to the era of his previous life, 95% of the world's pig iron production still came from blast furnace ironmaking.

At that time, if this blast furnace stole another 1% of other people's production, it would be really amazing.

A blast furnace can be equivalent to a small country.

The great hero Violet also completed the appraisal with the ability of [Craftsman], and couldn't help jumping up and hugging his arms and laughing and shouting:

"Byron, I knew you were a genius!

Great, great!"

Even a fool knows the significance of this blast furnace and this technology.

Byron still remembers a hell joke:

"If one day you are blocked and can no longer buy a grain of food from outside, can you achieve self-sufficiency?"

"Absolutely. Because we can produce 1 billion tons of steel every year."

"What do you mean? No matter how much steel you have, can you still fill your stomach with steel?"

"No, no, no, we can ask others to eat steel and eat grain ourselves."

When you have enough steel production, other countries around you may be more worried about whether you can eat enough than you are.

My neighbors hoard grain and I hoard guns.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, as long as you have enough steel, you can get everything you want!

It can be seen from the fact that [Iron Law of Kingship] is called "Iron Law".

It is not impossible that in the future, in addition to the Golden Law and the Silver Law, there will be a Black Iron Law that is parallel to them.

Perhaps it will be harder and stronger than the previous two.

From now on, this cutting-edge technology will no longer be strangled by any force, and Byron will no longer have to spend a lot of effort to exchange "scrapped weapons" from the Newman family.

International Port is just a fat pig no matter how rich it is. This is the real foundation of the king's hegemony.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

On the training ground outside the Torrent Fortress, two mass-produced steel swords with perfect toughness and sharpness collided, and sparks flew.

Two figures leaped and flew, as fast as the wind.

"The instructor is very strong, but the Sea Hunter is even stronger."

"One against three, you can easily win against three second-level extraordinary people without even taking a breath. I'm afraid you already have the strength of the middle sequence?"

A group of elite pirates who had just joined the Vanguard Colonial Trading Company after being personally selected by Byron cheered loudly.

The Newman family gradually became wary of Byron, and after spending a large amount of money obtained from corruption to help their good son-in-law "Bill" recruit soldiers.

The soldiers were sent here the next day.

The main feature is a seamless connection.

Byron selected a group of elite pirates trained by Captain 721's fission mode to serve as instructors and began to conduct strict military training for them.

Even though most of them had just awakened spiritually and became extraordinary people not long ago, it was more than enough to train these people.

The training mode adopted was completely the regular navy training mode of Hastings.

Three Lancaster Party rebels were also among them.

They were responsible for selecting some of the recruits and transferring them to guards to conduct basic training of the fortress sequence.

At this moment, the instructor who was fighting with Byron was Adolf, the reserve guardian knight of his cousin Prince Edward.

His sworn hero was Tristan, the [Son of Sorrow] among the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, who was good at swordsmanship and long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.

However, under the violent attack of Byron's [Fischer Sword Slashing Technique], he was left with a gap and retreated step by step.

[Thrust], [Rudder], [Boar], [Fortress]. Although Byron only used basic sword moves, he almost reached the amazing lethality of the secret sword technique under the blessing of the flow.

Adolf's arms were numb and he felt bitter in his heart:

"This Sea Hunter with the same name as His Highness is so strong?

Not only has he awakened the heart flow, but the three of us couldn't force him to show his strength.

The power of his subordinates is also expanding rapidly, which is incredible.

Is this really a mud leg who fought his way up from the bottom of the pirates? Then what are we, the former royal party?!"

During this period of time, they have been thrown into the company's training ground by Byron as sparring partners.

Originally, the three of them came from one of the top secular forces in the world, and their knowledge and training were far beyond that of ordinary pirates.

Even if they are down and out now, they are still arrogant.

What they didn't expect was that they were hit hard by Byron, Bill, and the commander of the squadron, Bloody Whiskey Alfred.

And after Violet made up for the shortcomings of military industry, the Vanguard Pilot Colonial Trade Company began rounds of rapid military explosions.

The Hettings colonists sent from Royal Port.

In the nearby indigenous city-states, there are also many relatively open-minded young people who are eager to join the colonial company, especially Byron's devout believers.

In addition, although the increasingly prosperous International Port is mixed with good and bad people, as the reputation spreads, many people want to look for opportunities in the International Port.

The problem of troops has been greatly alleviated.

When the [Hook] privateering fleet was first received, there were 2,000 people and 16 pirate ships.

It has soared to 4,200 people and 35 ships managed by Byron and Bill respectively.

In addition to small schooners, the proportion of medium-sized warships is also increasing.

Among them, the Newman family has also made great efforts, unswervingly hollowing out the navy to strengthen "themselves" and profit from the public, and recently even the cruisers have begun to be scrapped.

Eight Fingers, the number one lackey and honest man under Byron, has already begun to build a core team of elite guards for him in advance with the most loyal backbone and believers as the core.

But bad news also followed.

- He has no money!

"It takes money to build a fortress, it takes money to start the industrialization process with steel production as the main focus, it takes money to recruit soldiers, and it takes money to cultivate resources.

Don't think that I earn a lot. Just controlling an east-west route can make a fortune.

But it also costs a lot.

The gold and silver I got from Azik King City last time are almost gone."

No wonder all the countries in the Old World have gone from questioning the people of Taiwan, understanding the people of Taiwan, becoming the people of Taiwan, and finally surpassing the people of Taiwan.

Byron found that once he got used to making quick money, it was not so easy to go back to farming honestly.

After finishing today's training, just as he was about to go to see Violet's gun workshop, he suddenly received a call from Bill.

"Captain, help me, something bad has happened."

Byron put aside his worries and teased his good brother who was making great sacrifices:

"What happened? Did Tilly collapse the bed?

The blast furnace just happened to have a bumper harvest, so I'll give you a cast iron one, which is guaranteed to be strong and durable.

Even if it's like Tilly's, it can be passed down for three generations, and the bed will still be there after the person dies."

Unexpectedly, Bruch did not refute in a very strange way, but agreed with a difficult voice:

"Although we are only engaged, she is still a noble lady after all, and we haven't reached the stage of living together before marriage.

But the strong and durable cast iron bed you mentioned can really be prepared in advance.

Because, I feel like I really fell in love with her accidentally."

"What? Say it again? Don't scare me, brother!"

Bruch's news was already scary enough, but what surprised Byron even more was that after hearing the news, a new record suddenly appeared in the logbook:

[The mystery of the wealth growth of Treasure Island, historical influence 29].
