My Empire War Game

Chapter 428 Prison and Blast Furnace

The armored rate of the army in this era is very low, about 50%. Among them, the armored rate of the main soldiers can reach up to 120%, and the armored rate of the auxiliary soldiers is mostly around 20%. Soldiers in this era need to prepare their own weapons and weapons, and then go to the battlefield with dry food. The auxiliary soldiers are usually some farmers.

As for the war between two noble territories, it is often a knight who leads a dozen knights and a group of farmers to fight. Su Lun's plan to form an army is not like this.

The regular army equipment of the Kingdom of Florence is leather armor and leather armor inlaid with iron. Iron armor is only available at the squadron leader level. The main reason is that the production cost of iron armor is very high. The Kingdom of Florence does not have the water conservancy forging machine in Zhenbei City, nor does it have iron-making blast furnaces, pig iron Production is limited. The price of a set of iron armor is not cheap.

Su Lun plans to build a blast furnace and hydraulic forging machine here to mass produce iron armor. Just as Su Lun was planning to build a blast furnace, the prison in San Fierto City was completed.

The prison was rebuilt from a castle. It looks iron-blooded and solemn on the outside. All the windows are no bigger than a palm, and they are sealed with finger-thin iron pillars. On the high wall outside the prison, there are sharp The iron fence, just looking from the outside can feel heavily guarded. The whole prison has about 80 rooms, which are sturdy and durable. After the prison was completed, Su Lun couldn't wait to come here. He planned to bring some officials here to receive some ideological education.

"Is this the prison we built?" The craftsman who was standing not far away looked at the building in front of him, which made people feel scared just looking at it, and swallowed with some difficulty.

"It looks pretty good!" Su Lun said, looking at the prison in front of him.

"Where are those officials? Are they all here?"

"Your Majesty, I have sent someone to notify you, I believe he will come soon." A guard next to him said respectfully.

About ten minutes later, a group of officials came outside the prison led by guards.

"Your Majesty!" Although there was some confusion when he was suddenly called, the group of officials still did not show any dissatisfaction.

Su Lun nodded, and then came to these officials: "Many people are wondering why I called everyone here."

"What's so good about such a prison? We're not criminals."

"Indeed, you are not criminals, but you are officials. Ordinary people's crimes may only affect him and a limited number of people, but you are different. As officials, one of your decisions will affect tens of thousands of people, so I demand a lot from officials."

"I brought you here to let you see what kind of punishment you will receive if you bend the law for personal gain, dereliction of duty, corruption, or knowingly break the law, so as to warn you."

As soon as Su Lun finished speaking, there was some commotion among the officials below. These officials were basically the former officials of San Firto City. According to the virtues of those nobles, the professional ethics of these people can be imagined, even if the entire army is wiped out Su Lun was not surprised.

"Quiet!" Seeing the messy crowd, Su Lun said in a deep voice.

"I don't need to pursue what you did before I came to San Ferto. I was not the king at the time, so I didn't care about it. But after that, I will immediately make up for the dirty things you did. If Take my words as deaf ears, then don’t blame me for not reminding you!”

"Okay, now all of you go into this prison with me and take a good look at what will happen if you do something wrong!"

After finishing speaking, Su Lun led the guards and those unwilling officials into this eerie prison.

As soon as I entered the prison, I felt a gloomy atmosphere. The entire prison environment was very depressing and the light was dim. Just the corridors gave people a feeling of trepidation, and the performance of those officials was even more unbearable.

It is a little different from the prison in Zhenbei City. There are a lot of torture tools in the prison here, and these torture tools seem to have been used, and there are a lot of dark red blood-like things on them. Several jailers next to them deliberately detailed these torture tools. He even took out a few pieces of pork for demonstration.

Seeing the whole piece of pork being tossed with blood and flesh by various instruments of torture, the officials all turned pale, their hands and feet became weak, and they couldn't even stand upright.

Su Lun waved his hands, and two jailers stepped forward to lift up the officials with weak legs. Who knew that the officials struggled violently and cried as soon as they started.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me!" An official thought that the jailers were going to torture him, and his face changed greatly in fright, and he cried frantically, "Don't come here, don't come here."

"Your Majesty, I confess. I surrender myself. I took benefits from others and worked for them. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

For a while, the entire prison was full of cries and begging for mercy. Su Lun was also shocked by the scene in front of him. He didn't expect the effect of this prison to be so good. Can't stop.

Seeing these officials begging for mercy, Su Lun was very proud. Since these people were willing to surrender, Su Lun had no reason to refuse, and directly recruited people to record their crimes. Of course, all the officials had to walk through the entire prison before recording. Of course, those officials whose legs were weak from fright were also forcibly walked by the jailers.

After experiencing such a baptism, these officials became very honest one by one, and explained all the illegal incidents clearly. For these people, those with lesser crimes will continue to be appointed. Of course, he needs to explain the previous crimes. In terms of full compensation, the stolen money from corruption and bribery will be doubled and returned, and those who violate the regulations will be corrected again. For those serious crimes, they will be dismissed after completing the recovery of stolen goods.

Seeing that the effect of the prison was so good, Su Lun was relieved, and then stipulated that all officials of San Firto City must come to the prison for ideological education every six months. The grassroots officials from Zhenbei City were already familiar with this regulation. As for the officials from San Firto City who had just visited the prison, they did not dare to have any objections, for fear of being thrown directly into the prison by Su Lun.

It was also from this day that the prison in San Fierto City became a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all officials. And because of this, this prison has also become a terrifying place where children can stop crying in the city of San Firto.

With this prison, the efficiency of the official system in San Fierto City has doubled, and all the prevarications have disappeared. The operation of the city hall has become very smooth, and all the decrees issued by Su Lun have been taken seriously. It should be implemented, rather than superficial as before.

Su Lun is still very satisfied with this change. The most intuitive manifestation is that the tax has increased by one-half, and the popularity of San Firto City has also increased from the previous sixty to seventy-five.

It is also from now on that Su Lun truly controls the city of San Firto.

Another thing to be happy about is the blast furnace in the blacksmith workshop. After some construction, the blast furnace was finally completed.

Speaking of which, the technical level of the blast furnace designed by Su Lun has only reached the level of earth kilns in the 1960s in the previous life, when the iron and steel were being smelted. It is impossible to make steel, but it is still possible to smelt pig iron. .

The blast furnace of the blacksmith workshop stands in the backyard. The blast furnace is made of refractory bricks, and the overall shape is cylindrical, but the middle is fatter and the two ends are slightly thinner. The main reason is that the technology is not skilled enough.

However, the six-meter-high blast furnace is not too small. This kind of blast furnace is filled with ore and dyes, and a steelmaking can produce thousands of catties of pig iron. In order to make the blast furnace stronger, Su Lun specially added hardening techniques to the blast furnace, and the refractory bricks on the blast furnace were also blessed with flame resistance by Su Lun, which can reduce the burning of the blast furnace by the flame.

At the same time, on the inner wall of the blast furnace, Su Lun drew a rune array that increases the temperature of the flame, which can increase the temperature of the flame and melt the ore faster. To put it bluntly, the entire blast furnace is already considered a magic item.

The Yiliang mine car is used to feed the blast furnace, which is directly transported by the rails, which lead to the feeding port of the blast furnace. The whole design uses a pulley block to reduce the strength. There is also a large bellows next to the blast furnace, which is specially used to ventilate the blast furnace and deliver oxygen.

When the air is delivered, there is also a heating device to preheat the air once, so that cold air will not enter the blast furnace to reduce the temperature in the blast furnace. With this air preheating, the temperature in the blast furnace can be directly increased by two hundred degrees.

The entire blast furnace is as high as the wall of the blacksmith shop. In order to prevent the earthquake from collapsing, Su Lun also installed fixing parts around the blast furnace to make the blast furnace more stable. After the entire blast furnace is built, it is natural to try it out first, and the surrounding workers have long been impatient.

After Su Lun gave an order, workers immediately pushed the iron materials that had been prepared into the blast furnace, and then ignited the charcoal. The orange flame rose instantly, and the surrounding temperature began to rise rapidly.

Originally, the heating effect of charcoal can only reach 80 to 900 degrees, but after using the blast furnace, the temperature will be further increased. In addition, Su Lun also portrayed the rune array and air preheating to enhance the flame temperature in the blast furnace. Finally, the temperature in the blast furnace It directly broke through to about 1500 degrees.

Such a high temperature can completely melt iron ore.
