In a ratherrge brick building where the new ss factory was, Einar prepared to enter with Seren to oversee thest details of the factory.
One guard opened the wooden door, letting in Einar and Seren, who could see two impressive machines.
To begin with, there were a couple of ss furnaces, because they had not found a way to make transparent ss.
All the ss that was manufactured was green, however each furnace supplied the gear machines that received its energy.
From a sterling engine that was in the back of the factory, which gave the characteristic aroma of cooked meat to the ce.
The first machinery they nned to review was the automatic blowing machine, for which a group of ves.
They lit the first furnace and melted a specially calcted mixture to correctly form the ss.
When the materials were melted, they activated a lever which moved some gears that activated a pulley system.
With which specially protected chains were moved inside the furnace that moved some stone gears with which the stone container.
It leaned in, allowing the ss inside them to trickle out onto a stone slide, where it flowed into a gutter.
Where the ves, using iron tools, broke it as if it were sticine.
Later they amodate it inside some stone molds that wereposed of two parts supported by steeltches.
Where they moved with tweezers to the ss creation area, where the stone mold was ced and at that moment a lever was activated.
That caused the stone mold to rise to a wooden pivot where air was injected from a specially constructed bellows.
After this they lowered the mold using the lever and with tweezers, they left it on a stone roller conveyor belt.
Which led them to an area where ves opened the steeltches to let the mold separate.
From inside they took out beautiful, wless bottles, which were taken with tweezers, to be ced in a closed ce where they would cool naturally.
For the sample only one blower was upied, but the machine had 10 stone pivots connected to bellows.
"I see that the machinery is working very well, that so much seal fat has to be used per day."
Einar asked the factory foreman for a craftsman rmended by Seren, who was involved in creating the gears for the machinery.
"If all the pivots are activated, we can make 500 ss bottles a day or 1000 ss sses or 400 jars a day.
In terms of artisan production, we can only manufacture 100 ss tes per day because they do not require an advanced blowing process.
We use 50 kg of seal fat at day."
Einar nodded "Remember to write down everything that can be improved or substituted to increase production.
Although I can tell you with great pride that no one in the world can produce this amount of ssware in such a short time.
But for us this is just a small step, we have to keep increasing production to fully squeeze the traders.
They will pay for each crystal thing in gold or rather inbor.
For the construction of the dynamite factory on the mountain, I need at least 500 people, and we need another 500 people for the construction of the dye factory and the houses inside the pce fort.
With the purple dye that I can make, it will be our greatest way of making money.
Each purple linen cloth will sell for 100 gold coins. It may sound expensive but the cost of natural snail purple is ten times more expensive.
Not to mention, what noble wouldn''t want to wear the mythical purple color of royalty.
But we don''t just have purple, we have blue, yellow, red, ck, brown, and green.
Although those are just the base, there will be more colors in the future, but with just red, green and blue we can make any color range.
However, there is no point that I was excited about the future.
Now show me the second machine in operation I want to see the process of creating the ss panels. "
The foreman nodded and gave the order to light the furnace where the tin would melt like the second furnace where the ss-making mixture would melt.
Following the same process, a lever was activated, and the ss could flow down a stone slide where unlike the first time.
The ss flowed into a tin pool where it floated, forming the characteristic rectangr shape that panes of ss must have.
When the ss was about to fill the tin poolpletely, two ves using forceps, pulled the ss onto a stone roller conveyor.
Which carried the gigantic ss panel to a hot stone tform where it rested for a moment.
So thatter a ve will begin to turn a crank with which a mechanical press began to lower.
Which had steel des with which therge ss panel was cut into smaller ss panels.
After this, the ve turned the crank again to raise the press with which the ss was cut.
When the press was raised in a safe ce, a group of ves with tools that appeared to be spats raised the ss panels.
To be able to ce them in a dark ce where they could cool down naturally.
"How many ss panels can we make and did the steel tools work to cut the ss panels?"
The foreman pointed out to the machine, "We can manufacture 100 ss panels per day. Although we could do more, the cutting and harvesting process is notplete.
As for ss cutting tools. "
With a wave of his hand, the foreman made a ve approach them, carrying a pane of ss.
The panel measured 50x50 centimeters in a perfect square shape.
Once the ve arrived, he ced the panel on the ground and, using a ruler and charcoal pencil, made four lines at the corners.
When he was done, he took out a tool that looked like a scalpel and began to cut the corners of the ss along the lines he had drawn on the ss.
When he finished, he lifted the ss panel and with gentle movements began to move the corners, which came off, leaving the square as an octagon.
Einar then smiled "Very good job. I want you to work entirely on making ss.
In two days, it will be the inauguration of the factory. Remember to teach more ves to cut ss because I will begin the construction of the first greenhouse of the tribe.
In it we will be able to sow many of the seeds that the Inuit brought and that need a special climate.
By the way, the project I asked you to do, have they finished? "
The foreman nodded and walked towards his office. So Seren and Einar followed him.
"Seren remembers increasing vignce on the ves, although they do not know the methods of ss production.
They must be guarded. When the craftsmen''s district is built, they will be able to be in a fully guarded area. "
Seren looked at Einar seriously. "We are working with the Eye of Odin organization to create an effective spy ring.
But there should be no problems with new or old ves. "
Einar smiled. "That''s good, but you never have enough research when ites to state security.
They must deepen the spywork even more. I want to know what each ve thinks; I want to know their needs or their tastes.
It is important to make a profile of each one of them to be able to know if they are responsible or if they will stab us in the back.
By the time the ves outnumbered our poption, we have to be careful to be able to fully absorb all of them into our society.
But this is not the time to talk about these issues. Tomorrow, we will have a meeting to review the weekly report. "
Upon reaching the foreman''s office, he opened the door and allowed them to enter before closing the door.
After this, he walked to the table where he took from his desk two wooden boxes, which he ced in front of Einar.
Einar opened the two boxes and could see two thermometers. The first was a long ss tube that had a steel base in the shape of an elongated bulb.
The ss tube was numbered from 0 to 100 with a red color while blue were the numbers from -1 to -50 and 101 to 150.
This was done intentionally by Einar because the boiling water on the shore will usually be 100 degrees Celsius, while the freezing temperature of the water will always be 0 degrees Celsius.
With these two data, the thermometer was calibrated by dividing between 0 and 100, taking that into ount and following the same divisions. The numbers were made in blue.
Although it was not a perfectly calibrated thermometer, much less in the blue zones, it was fully functional for a primitive society.
Lacking modern tools to be able to make more urate thermometers, however, the thermometer was nned to be used to measure the temperature of the human body.
The second thermometer was a long ss tube on a wooden te, unlike the first the steel bulb was muchrger.
This is because the thermometer measures the temperature of the environment, although Einar wanted to make an alcohol thermometer.
The technology to make a small diameter capiry in ss and steel was impossible toe by with the tools he had.
"I''ll take these two thermometers, but I want you to make more of these thermometers.
They are indispensable tools for the health and safety of the tribe, although I would like to stay longer.
I have to continue with the writing of the constitution. "
The foreman and Seren nodded as they watched as Einar got up and carried the wooden boxes with him.
