Chapter 108: The Nomads from the Wilderness

As Chu Guang stepped into Factory 81, he felt the temperature around him rise significantly, making him feel somewhat overheated despite wearing a deerskin coat.

He looked up and saw, at the very center of the workshop, two furnaces, one large and one small.

These furnaces were cast from molds and lined with refractory materials such as silica, serving as the acidic furnace lining.

The blast furnace, equipped with a blower, was responsible for heating the scrap steel inside to 1300 degrees, melting it into molten iron, while the other furnace, raised on a concrete base with six air inlets, was in charge of converting the 1300-degree molten iron into qualified steel by blowing.

This process did not require reheating.
