The protective measures were all done, and Owen immediately activated the visualization data function, and the indicator selected the temperature.As if a ray of light was shining from the center of his vision, a small red dot appeared on the outer wall of the furnace in front of him, and the temperature value was displayed next to the red dot.Whether it's Arabic numerals or temperature units, Owen has learned them in dreams, so he can understand them.In the future, he also plans to implement this convenient number and unified physical quantity unit, which can be directly copied and used, which is very convenient to use.Now I can see the data, but how do I measure the temperature?
Suddenly remembering the previous method of collecting soil data in the experimental field, Owen frowned slightly, and hurriedly asked a question in his mind.
[Winster, do I need to touch those raw pulps when I get to measure the temperature?]
】[No, Dimension 3 is equipped with an infrared temperature measurement system, you only need to move your eyes to move the red dot to the raw meal slurry, you can know its surface temperature. 】[Infrared?]
Is it the infrared light that is invisible to the naked eye?
】Owen had learned from Winster that it was an electromagnetic wave that contained heat.
[Yes, I didn't expect you to remember. 】Subsequently, Winster roughly explained the principle of infrared temperature measurement.After roughly understanding, Owen was completely relieved."
Mapel, give me the staff."
Owen held out his hand to Marpel."
Yes."
The other man nodded, took the staff from his back, and handed it to Owen.It was a dark red wooden staff, more than a meter long, and the top was inlaid with a scorching magic stone of extremely high quality.The staff was a gift from his father to Owen as a child before he left for the magic academy in the Eastrise Fortress.Holding it, Owen couldn't help but think of his father's kind smile, and he missed it very much.The study life in the academy was also unforgettable, but it was a pity that Owen did not obtain the qualification to study at the Royal Capital Advanced Magic Academy.Calming down, Owen exhaled lightly, ready to cast his magic to burn cement.Inject mana into the staff, and the magic stone at the top glows red.Raising his staff, Owen chanted a short incantation and cast a fire-based magic, the Pillar of Fire.The staff pressed down and pointed at the mouth of the furnace, and with a pop, a flame rose from inside the furnace.Flames gathered around the center of the furnace and soon formed a pillar of fire.The next step was to precisely control the mana, pushing down the height of the pillar of fire and expanding the range of the burn until it covered all the areas covered with raw slurry.This method of manipulating magic has been practiced many times by Owen during the construction of the cement workshop, and he has become quite proficient.There was a raging fire burning in the stove, and now the temperature was taken.Owen kept his eyes on the furnace and moved the red dot to the raw slurry, and the temperature displayed next to it quickly rose to about 100 degrees Celsius, and then it couldn't go up.Seeing this, Owen was a little anxious.
[Why can't the temperature rise?]
】[Don't worry, it's the drying stage, the water content of the raw meal pulp is relatively high, and the free water must be eliminated first, so there is no need for too fierce flames at present.I'm timing it here, and I'll help you get a detailed firing process when the time comes. 】I see, Owen remembers Winster saying that at one standard atmosphere, the boiling point of water is about 100 degrees Celsius.As a result, Owen weakened the mana output and the fire weakened a little, but it didn't hinder the drying process.After some time, the temperature value continued to rise, slowly rising to 450 degrees Celsius.Winster said this is the dehydration phase.When it rises to 500 degrees Celsius, the temperature does not increase.
[Now the temperature of the flame itself is not enough, and you have to increase the mana output.] 】Winster reminded.
【Okay.】 】Owen slowly increased the mana output, the flames in the furnace burned more and more, and the temperature value continued to climb up.Thankfully, with a staff, the Scorching Stone is a great help in increasing the temperature of the flames, greatly reducing the cost of mana.After climbing to 600 degrees Celsius, the subsequent ascent slowed down again.Winster says it's the carbonate decomposition stage, which is also the process that consumes the most heat during clinker formation.By this time, Viru was already too hot to stand it, so he had to exit the firing room and wait outside.As a loyal knight, Marpel has always stood by Owen's side.Seeing Owen's sweaty appearance, she hesitated for a while before she made up her mind to take out the handkerchief she carried with her to help Owen wipe the sweat from her forehead.At the moment, Mapel was very embarrassed, the handkerchief she had used during her training this morning.I'll need an extra clean handkerchief next time, she thought to herself.Fortunately, Marpel covered half of her face with the cloth Owen had given her, and her shy expression was not visible.When you wipe it, you can smell a hint of fragrance.However, Owen didn't care about any of that, and his attention was all focused on the mana output.After wiping it, Mapel put away her handkerchief and whispered a spell to the side, casting a water-based magic to moisten her heart.It is a relatively simple magic that continuously emits water from the outside.In addition to making the caster's and those in a small area clear, it also slightly reduces the surrounding temperature.That's right, Mapel also uses magic, and the magic attribute is water.Knights who can use elemental magic are collectively referred to as Magic Knights, who are higher than ordinary Knights, and there are also more advanced Templars, who specialize in both elemental and faith magic.If Marpel wanted to, she could actually become a magician.The reason why she chose to become a knight is to better protect the people she wants to protect."
Thank you."
Feeling the chill around him, Owen thanked him.Being able to help Owen, Marpel was very happy in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend up.After 900 degrees Celsius, the temperature rises faster, soon reaching the target temperature of 1450 degrees Celsius, and the flame becomes more and more incandescent.
[Now is the clinker sintering stage, please maintain the steady output of mana and maintain this temperature for a while.] 】During this period, Winster couldn't help but sweat for Owen, maintaining such a high temperature, is his magic still abundant?
However, the reality is that Owen maintains a fixed output of mana, and his face looks at ease, and his eyes are constantly observing the situation inside the furnace.It wasn't until Winster said yes that he withdrew his magic.After the firing was completed, Owen was already sweating profusely, and the magician robe on his body was also soaked, but the magic power in his body was only partially consumed.In this way, Winster seriously underestimated the total amount of Owen's magic power, and his knowledge of magic was still insufficient.Because Winster was always worried about the consumption of mana, Owen thought that firing cement was a job that consumed a lot of mana, but he didn't expect it to be a great test of willpower for him.Being scorched at high temperatures for a long time by the stove is really unbearable.The next step was to wait for the clinker to cool, and Owen and Marpel walked out of the firing room and patted the dust off their bodies.The handyman opened all the vents in the firing room from the outside, hoping to speed up the cooling.It didn't take long for Owen to go in and shovel out a small vat of clinker, and then let the stone crusher add the right amount of gypsum to grind it finely, and the miraculous cement was made.
