Chapter 506 Purely Hand-rolled by a Young Girl

It will take time to prove whether the industrial age that combines magic and technology is a big statement, but the booming development of the Black Oil Mine Industrial Zone is obvious to all.

"The original black oil that is mined is too wasteful just for burning. With this distillation tower refinery, the utilization of black oil has reached a higher level." The guide of the refinery is a beautiful woman. Lady.

The lady is none other than Malena, the daughter of Lord Marcus.

Malena, who is already married, is not willing to take care of her husband and raise children at home. Especially since her husband, Mikel, has not yet been knighted and does not even own a manor. The management knowledge learned at Stormrage Women's College was of no use at all.

Simply respond to the lord's call and find a job to show off your talents.

The refinery has a showroom, and Malena is in the showroom right now, introducing the history of the refinery to Russell and Mel.

"This is black jade paste. Early black jade paste was made from black oil mixed with wood impurities, which can be used as a substitute for coal. Now our refinery has cooperated with the Black Fire Erudite Tower to develop a new generation of black jade paste."

The new generation of black jade paste abandons wood impurities and uses an asphalt mixture for addition and solidification, which doubles the effect of black jade paste.

Malena then introduced several other products of the refinery.

Kerosene is mainly used for household lighting, illuminating thousands of households in the black-fired land; liquefied gas has not yet developed a gas tank suitable for household use, so it is temporarily used as kiln fuel; lubricating oil is used for equipment and appliance maintenance; asphalt is mainly used To pave the way.

"The most important product is gasoline. It is currently mainly used as fuel for kilns, but in the near future, it will become the fuel for internal combustion engines and steam engines, ushering in a vast industrial era..."

Malena introduced with a smile on her face, as if she really saw the prospect of the industrial age.

But in fact, these are just lines that have been prepared long ago.

She didn't even know what a steam engine or an internal combustion engine was, and it was even less possible for her to foresee the arrival of the industrial age.

"I didn't expect that a small black oil could develop so many productive things." Mel listened with interest.

"The current mining volume of the black oil mine is not enough. After I find the second black oil vein, the Sancha River Mouth can use the fuel I produce. It is definitely cheaper and more beautiful than the coal in the volcanic oasis." Russell smiled.

After visiting the refinery.

Russell took Mel to the glass kiln not far away: "I'll show you some interesting things, don't be too surprised."

"Something fun?"

"This is it." Russell asked the person in charge of the glass kiln factory to bring a few samples that have not yet been officially produced. "Put the telescope on your eyes, and then look far away to see what different feelings you get."

"Wow!" Mel immediately exclaimed, "It's amazing how things in the distance suddenly came to me!"

"This is the magic of telescopes." Russell said with a smile, "I invented reading glasses before and was canonized as a scholar. I thought someone would soon develop a telescope based on the principles of reading glasses, but... still I have to do it myself.”

Mel played with it enthusiastically for a while and exclaimed: "It's really magical. With this, wouldn't the Knights be able to see snow demons and snow ghosts from a long distance on the snowy fields?"

There was a pause.

He suddenly thought: "If you equip the flying dragon with a telescope, will it be able to see further?"

"It's okay on a sunny day. The telescope can see far away and avoid danger in advance. But it's not good on cloudy and snowy days." Russell said, "I invented it for other purposes... I want to use it to see the starry sky above my head."

"Looking at the stars?" Mel was puzzled.

"Cousin, what do you think the stars in the sky are?"

"Stars, they must be luminous stones." Mel said matter-of-factly, "The sun is a big fireball in the sky, and the moon is also a fireball, but it often goes out. Those stars must be gems!"

"Really?" Russell said without comment, "When I build the astronomical telescope, cousin, you can take a look at the stars for yourself."

"Okay, I want to see how beautiful these stars are!"

Russell is already preparing the observatory. One of the purposes is to study where Longmian Continent is and whether it is the Milky Way. The other is to find the world of the frost trolls and prepare for a future counterattack against the opponent's home base.

After the trip to the glass kiln factory, Russell was going to continue taking Mel to visit several factories.

But Mel yawned: "Okay Russell, I already know what the industrial age is, so there is no need to continue the tour... Let's go to the cigar factory to have a look. I want to see the female workers who roll cigarettes."

"Oh, okay."

Russell was a little regretful. Although his cousin had a good relationship with him, he couldn't understand his own thoughts and didn't realize what the industrial age was at all.

This is why Russell often feels that he is separated from the world.

Fortunately, he adjusted his mentality quickly, quickly put this regret behind him, and took Mel to the cigar factory.

The cigar factory has moved from Youguang Town to next door to the Cigar Castle.

Soon, under the leadership of the person in charge, Old Hans, we arrived at the work workshop. In the workshop, there were rows of young female workers, skillfully rolling tobacco leaves. Even if you look closely, you can see that these female workers are all wearing light makeup.

"Tsk tsk!"

Mel touched his chin: "Sure enough, it's girls rolling cigars one by one with their delicate hands!"

"This is natural." Russell narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

After a brief tour, he took Mel away, but Mel didn't know that the workshop where the girls rolled cigarettes was just a "model room". There are several closed workshops in the tobacco factory, all of which are full of aunts rolling cigarettes.

The labor of girls alone cannot meet the market demand.

So Russell recruited almost all the aunts in the territory into the cigar factory. Of course, they mainly made ordinary Bailu series cigars.

The less produced Fengshuang cigars are all hand-rolled by girls. The slightly larger Yunwu cigars are also rolled by young women-only when the supply is insufficient to meet the demand, the aunts will come to help.

Mel didn't know the details.

So he lit a Fengshuang series cigar and smoked it happily: "After entering the tobacco factory for a tour, I immediately felt that the taste of cigars was more mellow and rich."

"Haha, it's okay as long as you feel it's good to smoke." Russell laughed, "It's almost noon, let's go back to the cigar castle first. Today I asked the kitchen to prepare some special ingredients for you to feel the charm of the food in the black fire land."

In the restaurant.

Russell pointed to a plate of roast suckling pig and said, "This is the black gold pig, a new breed of Yuan beast that I cultivated in the Black Waist Snake Manor. The current production is still small and it is not available on the market. Even I can't eat it every meal."

"It tastes really good!" Mel ate with relish.

Russell did not ask the kitchen to prepare it in the Chinese way. Now he no longer forces others to agree with the delicacies of his hometown on Earth.

So when entertaining guests, they all use the local methods of the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame.

Only when he enjoys the meal himself will he ask Mrs. Moore to prepare Chinese food.

"Try this, it's also a unique delicacy, the royal jelly of the Yuan Beast Bumblebee!" Russell pointed to a small cup on the table, one for each person, "Because the bumblebees are still expanding their breeding scale, these two cups of royal jelly are the only share we can take out this year."

"Well, I want to taste this cup of royal jelly!" Mel was very satisfied, "It's refreshing just by smelling it!"

Russell gently scooped a spoonful and said, "The taste is actually a bit sour, but the feeling after drinking it is absolutely extraordinary... I discovered bumblebees for several years, and I only drank a small cup last year!"
