"New weapons?" Aslan asked, pointing to Nigel's equipment covered by the canvas.
Nigel nodded and said with excitement: "Lord! I guarantee that I can shock you."
Aslan nodded, pointed at Merlin's equipment and said, "Let's take a look at yours first! Save the good stuff for last."
Gwennaville suddenly burst into laughter.
Merlin smiled helplessly, but he was very confident that once Aslan saw this set of equipment, he would be so excited that he was speechless.
The three goblin magicians slowly flew up and pulled the canvas away.
A huge boiler similar to a pressure cooker appeared in front of everyone.
Duke Medea subconsciously raised his chin to check, his huge mental power swept across, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What is this?" Duke Medea asked curiously.
Merlin looked at Aslan.
Aslan's eyes suddenly widened and he asked in surprise.
"Is this a steel-making electric furnace?"
Merlin smiled proudly.
"Great, just in time." Aslan excitedly hugged Guineaville and walked around the electric stove.
"How big is this electric furnace, and how much steel can be refined at one time?" Aslan asked.
Duke Medea and other magicians suddenly widened their eyes. This big thing was actually a magical equipment used for steelmaking.
"This is just a test furnace. It can refine five hundred kilograms of steel at a time. I have designed another electric furnace that can refine five tons of steel at a time." Merlin said confidently.
Duke Medea and other magicians suddenly widened their eyes. They had just heard something. Five tons of steel could be refined at one time.
"How long is the cycle?" Now Nigel was no longer calm.
Because of the research on weapons, he needed a huge amount of steel production. It is no exaggeration to say that more than one-third of the steel produced every month in Merlo City is consumed by Merlin and Nigel.
The experiments had successes and failures, so outside the two major workshops, there was a huge warehouse where more than ten tons of steel scraps were piled. When Wilson knew about it, it made him very distressed.
"It only takes a little more than an hour from putting it in the electric furnace to coming out of the furnace. The most important thing is that it can be re-smelted from scrap iron." Merlin said with confidence.
Jiedu subconsciously shouted: "Fuck me!"
Guineaville blinked her eyes. She already knew about electrical elements, so she was not too surprised by the steel-making electric furnace. The key was that she had no idea what this thing was.
In fact, no matter what era it is, unless you are a woman in this professional field, it is impossible to understand the difference between blast furnace steelmaking and electric furnace steelmaking, and many have even never heard of it.
Therefore, even if Guineaville is a time traveler, she has no idea what the significance of this electric furnace steelmaking technology is in this era.
Aslan waved his hand, and Merlin immediately understood and asked his men to pull out a small pile of scrap iron from the nearby warehouse and throw it into the electric furnace, then connected the power supply and started to start the electric furnace.
A large number of templates were also prepared nearby, which were obviously used to hold iron juice.
The real reason why Merlin prioritizes the development of electric furnaces is that the scale of the Merlo Dam power plant is too large, resulting in a large amount of waste of electrical elements. It has even begun laying power grids from Merlo City to several other towns.
Now that there is electricity, it is natural to develop electric furnaces that are easier to master. The interior of the electric furnace is composed of a complete electric heating magic circuit to replace the heating equipment. Moreover, the quality of the steel refined by the electric furnace is generally better than that of the blast furnace.
The biggest difference between electric furnace steelmaking and blast furnace steelmaking is that all scrap steel can be used for blast furnace steelmaking, but molten steel must account for 90% of the total.
In terms of consumption, electric furnace steelmaking consumes electricity and oxygen, while blast furnace steelmaking consumes oxygen. The cost alone is several times higher than that of blast furnace steelmaking.
However, considering that Melo City currently has a surplus of electric power generation, and even small reservoirs and windmills have been established in many places to generate power, there is no need to worry about power consumption.
It can even be said that the cost of using electric furnace steelmaking is lower than that of blast furnace steelmaking. Moreover, the composition of the tapping liquid of electric furnace steelmaking is relatively stable and of high quality. The composition of the tapping liquid of blast furnace steelmaking is quite different, and several more steps are required.
Only through procedures can higher quality steel be extracted.
What's more, electric furnace steel is mostly used to produce high-quality carbon structural steel, tool steel and alloy steel.
This type of steel has excellent quality and uniform performance. When the carbon content is the same, the strength and plasticity of electric furnace steel are better than those of open hearth steel. Electric furnace steel uses scrap steel of similar steel types as the main raw material, and sponge iron is also used to replace part of the scrap steel. By adding iron alloy
Adjust chemical composition and alloy element content.
To put it simply, electric furnace steelmaking is the most scarce technology in Mero City now. It is impossible to use it to refine a batch of higher-end steel, which can once again increase the strength of the armor and weapons of the Mero Army.
Nowadays, the Mello Army's armaments are the most elite in the entire United Army. In terms of armor and weapons alone, the entire Kingdom of Cleveland could not wear such exquisite weapons and armor at its peak. If it were to be upgraded to another level, Aslan had a hunch.
During the next battle, the Merlot Army had just defeated the 50,000-strong army of the Ten-Party Alliance on the battlefield with an army of 50,000.
As long as the vital points are not struck and the armor cannot protect it, trying to hurt the Merlot Army with the crude equipment of the Ten Directions Alliance is simply a fantasy.
Because he needed time to wait, Aslan turned his attention to Nigel's new weapon.
Nigel waved his hand, and the canvas flew up, revealing the new weapon underneath.
No one noticed that Guineaville couldn't help but look shocked after seeing this new weapon.
Although Guineaville was not a military fan in her previous life, weapons like the Vulcan Cannon often appeared in blockbusters in the Lighthouse Country.
The more you see it, the more you will be impressed.
Nigel walked up to the Vulcan Cannon, patted the twelve 12.6-caliber barrels and said, "Because it shoots like a roar of flames, I named it the Vulcan Cannon."
The corners of Aslan's mouth twitched.
This will all work.
Nigel began to direct people to pull out the bullet chain and install it. At the same time, he installed two standard units of energy storage crystals on the bottom and began to adjust the magic output.
Just by looking at it, Aslan understood that the rotation of this Vulcan cannon and the loading of bullets were all driven by the electrical energy of the energy storage crystal on the left.
The energy storage crystal on the right is responsible for the electromagnetic magic circuit on the barrel.
Aslan woke up suddenly.
He has always been stuck in a misunderstanding. Bullets require gunpowder as kinetic energy to propel them, especially automatic weapons, which rely on the kinetic energy of gunpowder to unload and load the gun. In fact, it can be completely replaced by an electric motor.
Just like the Vulcan cannon in front of you.
Nigel turned the Vulcan cannon's muzzle, and the huge open space was empty except for a stone wall covered with iron plates.
There are also eye-catching red hearts painted on the iron plate.
