"Lord Marquis, this renovation of the castle has proved that this water system works, are you going to install it in the apartment that has already been built?"
If the water system is really ready to be fully laid, Geeta will have to transfer some people from the department to organize them to mass-produce copper products such as water tanks, water pipes and faucets."
I'd also like my people to have access to running water soon, but unfortunately, not yet."
Owen shook his head ruefully.The key issue is copper, which has many advantages to making components such as water pipes and tanks.First of all, the material is not easy to be corroded, can withstand high and low temperatures, will not easily break and deform, and has good stability.Secondly, copper ions also have the effect of disinfection and sterilization, and will not produce toxic and harmful substances to water quality.In addition, there is no dirt inside the copper pipe, keeping the water clean.Finally, it is durable, and the service life is very long, and it can be used for decades.All of the above are the benefits that Owen learned from Winster's side, and the disadvantages are caused by the current situation."
Although Bianshu Town also produces copper ore, the output is still too small compared to iron ore."
It is for this reason that copper is called a precious metal that qualifies for being minted into currency and circulated in the world, even if it can only be minted in the lowest value copper coin.The lord's castle is equipped with such a running water system, which can show that this lord's compulsion is very high.If you want to fully promote it and make it available to civilians, it will be too expensive."
Moreover, the copper produced has to be used to make more important things - bullets, so we can't divert too many copper resources to build people's livelihoods."
The current situation in the border town is not precarious, and it is necessary to ensure that the KPA has enough ammunition to deal with external threats.In addition to bullets, there are other places where copper is also used.For example, the piston rings, which seal the inside of the cylinder of a steam engine, and the gasket on the outside of the cylinder, are all made of copper."
It is mainly these two reasons that restrict the comprehensive construction of the tap water system."
Owen said."
The full laying of the water system has to be delayed."
Viru looked regretful."
It turns out that the Marquis has such a deep consideration."
Geeta nodded understandingly, "The problem is with the copper, iron is easy to rust, and it is not suitable for making water pipes, if only there was chrome ore near Frontier Town." ”"Oh?"
Hearing this, Owen looked at Geeta curiously and asked, "Why do you say that?"
”"Lord Marquis, you mentioned in your book to me an alloy called stainless steel.It's corrosion-resistant, won't rust, and hard enough to be used to make water pipes and replace copper pipes in water systems. ”"However, iron and chromium are indispensable in order to produce this stainless steel," Geeta informed. ”"Well, that's good!
Geeta, your learning progress has actually sped up a lot. ”Owen was unsparing in appreciating Geeta, who was no less quick to absorb new knowledge than he was."
As you said, stainless steel is really an ideal material."
The reason why Geeta's learning progress has suddenly accelerated is that the Ministry of Industry has been relatively well staffed recently, and he has more time to learn new knowledge.Alternatively, by leaving the work of operating the machine to someone else, Geeta can calm down and expand her research in other important areas, such as alloys."
Thank you for the compliment, Lord Marquis."
Geeta scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.Marpel glanced at Geeta, eager to get Owen's compliment."
When it comes to exploring new minerals, the dwarves are the best at it."
Owen crossed his arms and said, "Tilion has been back for so long, and I don't know if he can invite the lord of Noir over." ”Chromium, mainly found in chromite.Owen wanted to ask the dwarves if there was such a mine near the new underground city of Noa?
I heard that they usually explore the ore veins near the city.In addition, Owen also wants to ask the dwarves to explore the Transverse Mining Area and the Sky Dome Mining Area near Frontier Town.There has not been a single full and thorough survey of the two mines, and God knows if there are any new veins hidden in the unknown."
Alright!"
Owen clapped his hands and said to the people present, "The water system has been tested, let's all go back and do our own things, don't gather here." ”Hearing this, everyone nodded and withdrew from the room in an orderly manner.When Owen walked to the door, Angelica, who was leaning against the door, suddenly exclaimed: "I didn't expect the Marquis of Eisen, who was still a learned nobleman, to design this convenient tap water system. ”During the previous test, Angelica didn't say a word from start to finish, and Owen thought she wasn't interested in the water system.Now it seems that she has just listened carefully to the discussion.In response, the corners of Owen's mouth rose slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Didn't you hear that I had invented a lot of things when you were in the Caleb Holy Sect?"
Like paper, cement, muskets, and so on. ”"I've heard of it."
Angelica responded indifferently: "It's better to see than to hear, these days I saw you directing everyone to renovate the castle, and finally succeeded in bringing water in, which really opened my eyes." ”"Then I promise, you'll see more eye-opening things in Frontier Town in the future."
Owen smiled confidently and walked past Angelica.Looking at Owen's fading back, Angelica thought to herself: the church values this man's ability to make humans and subhuman races live in harmony, but ignores what is more powerful about him.Marquis Eisen, he has enough knowledge to turn this world upside down."
No wonder Freya asked me to keep an eye out for the Marquis of Eisen, this man is indeed not ordinary."
Angelica muttered quietly.Seeing that Owen was far away, she hurried to catch up.Sent to Frontier to protect Owen, Angelica hasn't forgotten.Unable to fully lay water pipes in Frontier Town, Owen later consulted with Lower Winster privately, and soon had a replacement plan, and the next day, Owen summoned Geeta and Viru to inspect and confirm that there were several wells that had been drilled in Frontier Town.Within a few days, a new gadget appeared next to all the wells - a hand-pressed pump.After it was built, Owen gathered the residents around the well and gave them a demonstration in person.Just pour some water into the hole and keep pressing the lever to create a pressure difference, and in a short time the well water will be pumped up.When people see the water gushing out of the mouth, they can't help but let out an exclamation of wonder and call it magical.After that, Owen picked a few civilians to come and try it, and every time he pressed out the water, the crowd around him would cry out.It can be seen that they are all very interested in this pump.Although it is not as convenient as the tap water system, it is much better than before, as long as you keep pressing up and down, the well water will be pumped up and flowing, and there is no need to go to the well to draw water from bucket to bucket.This convenient facility was quickly accepted by the people and became very popular.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
