Roman Slave Owner

Under Li Wei's command, a slave craftsman puts firewood into the furnace one by one.

Charcoal and coke are impossible, otherwise the pig iron would be melted directly, which would not be called carburizing, and even the catalyst would be incorporated into the pig iron.

The craftsman made some containers made of crucibles, spread carbon powder, beef bone powder and sawdust on the bottom layer according to a certain proportion, and then put them into the iron swords to be carburized.

Put a layer of carbon powder, beef bone meal and sawdust, and then put a layer of iron sword, and stack them in turn.

Bovine bone meal is the catalyst for carburization, and sometimes it will penetrate into the ironware and become an impurity in it.

Later generations have already explored various carburizing ratios. For every 100 catties of pig iron, 4 catties of carbon powder, 20 catties of beef bone powder and 5 catties of sawdust are needed, and Li Wei used them directly.

"The bottom and upper layers should be placed a little more, and the middle layers should be evenly placed."

Li Wei commanded from the side.

Under Li Wei's command, the blacksmith put layers of carburizing agent and iron sword into it, covered the crucible lid and sealed it with clay.

This is braised steel. Of course, there is another container containing sword embryos. These sword embryos are much larger than iron swords, and they are weapons that are prepared to be used for more than ten refinements.

The slave craftsman put the two mud-sealed containers into the stove and ignited them.

A raging flame was burning, and Jicos personally controlled the temperature of the furnace regardless of the terrible temperature.

He blows wind into the furnace through a wooden trap bellows.

This bellows has two flaps at the front and back, which can blow the wind into the furnace whether it is pulled or pushed.

For the concept of this bellows, Ji Kes is simply in admiration to the extreme.

"Remember, try not to exceed 900 degrees, the exact amount is up to you."

Levi said.

A while ago, he crammed up the basic knowledge for Jixos, letting him know that the temperature of iron making is 1000 degrees, and the temperature of ice is 0 degrees, so he already has a general impression of Jixes at 900 degrees.

Gikos felt that Levi had opened a door for him, and he knew how to quantify temperature, which was incredible.

What he doesn't know is that Li Wei has concealed too many things, such as what the essence of steel is, and the best way to keep it secret is that only he knows it.

The slave kept recording on the parchment, and hated Li Wei's experience in making iron.

Why not use scientific experimental methods? Record all operations and processes so that you can get started as soon as possible.

Looking at the sweat dripping from Jicos' body, Li Wei can only sigh that it's really hard to do a furnace job, let alone in this era of no safety protection.

"Have someone prepare some thin bean soup, remember not to limit it, you two can drink as much as you want."

Levi said.

These two would be the only slaves who knew how to braise steel, and he didn't want them to fall ill.

The slave nodded excitedly. Compared with the previous encounter with the slave owner, Li Wei was really kind.

You can eat as much food as you want, and there are a lot of beef and mutton in the food.

All requests made by slaves will be agreed as long as they are not out of line.

Looking at Jikos who was concentrating on it, Li Wei planned to leave here.

It takes hours to braise steel and it's just too boring to be here all the time.

After instructing the slave to keep records, Li Wei left here.

Played some games of peek-a-boo with some slave girls and indulged in lewd spa massages.

After eating a big meal and taking a nap, Li Wei went to see how the exercise was going.

"Master, we succeeded! We succeeded!!"

Gikos said excitedly after seeing Li Wei, and then handed a dagger to Li Wei.

"This is the short sword you have refined."

Li Wei looked at the somewhat dark dagger and said.

"That's right, we used this dagger to cut against the dagger we bought. It took two daggers to cut off a gap. In the end, we cut off eight daggers before this steel sword broke. It's a hack record."

Jix said while holding a piece of parchment.

Then he pointed to some broken swords on the ground and said, "These broken swords."

Li Wei glanced at the broken swords, and then carefully looked at the duel records.

"Not bad, keep up the good work."

Levy said, going on to point out some shortcomings in the record.

Due to inexperience, these experimental records have great shortcomings.

Although Li Wei is not a professional, after all, people with vision beyond this era don't know much.

Gikos looked at Li Wei as if Vulcan was alive, and the admiration in his heart was simply indescribable.

"We will continue to experiment in the next few days, and we must create the best steel sword."

Levi said to him.

"no problem."

Jicos said excitedly.

Then Li Wei took these daggers and sword embryos and left here, and handed over the sword embryos to other slave blacksmiths for folding and forging. I believe that a batch of ten-refined weapons or even twenty-refined weapons will be born soon.

Li Wei slowly opened his eyes, and found that little Li Wei was already standing upright, and there was a trace of liquid on the bed.

"Naughty again."

Li Wei suppressed him a little, then opened the curtains, and a beautiful garden appeared in front of him.

It is full of vines and various flowers, and not far away is a pond, gazebo, rockery, and water pavilion, which were specially built by Li Wei to commemorate his previous life.

A few slaves were working hard in the garden. It was really a decadent and depraved slave owner's life. Li Wei criticized himself flatteredly.

"Master, you are awake."

At some point, Yulia walked in.

Wearing a V-neck brown top, a touch of moving snow white appeared on the chest, the lower body was a short skirt with hips, and a pair of slender and round legs were particularly eye-catching.

Li Wei couldn't help swallowing and said, "Why are you wearing this?"

Yulia is so attractive today!

"Isn't it good-looking? Many people say that this dress is very beautiful, so I specially asked someone to make it."

Yulia turned around and said, "If you don't like it, I can replace it."

The style of Roman clothing was extremely poor. Men wore toga except for the toga, and everything but toga, and everything but toga.

In winter, I also add a cloak woven from sheepskin, and add several layers of cloaks when it is cold.

Women are better, but not much better.

Since the opening of Levi's sugar shop, the costumes of those waiters have driven a trend, which has aroused the eyes of many Roman women.

"No, you look really good in this outfit. If you like it, I can design some clothes for you."

Levi said.

He has decided to design the costumes of various nurses and police officers in later generations, and strives to contribute to Rome's fashion career.
