“Your Highness, something good must have happened these past few days. Why are you so happy?”
Lying back on a rocking chair and enjoying Lu Luo’s massage, Xiao Ming chuckled at her words.
How could he not be happy? They had successfully extracted tungsten! Right now, Zhang Liu at the machinery department was working day and night to refine tungsten. Although the extraction method was rather primitive, they would soon accumulate enough to produce a batch of high-quality cutting tools.
Meanwhile, Song Changping was working alongside Zhang Liu—not to assist with the tungsten, but because the carbon reduction process also produced some manganese powder. Song Changping was using that manganese to produce a manganese-carbon alloy—essentially spring steel.
Of course, theory was one thing; actually synthesizing the alloy was another. Precisely controlling the ratios of elements was no easy task, and it was up to Song Changping to handle the experiments.
Now that preparations for the flintlock musket were underway, how could Xiao Ming not be in a good mood?
“When a man is happy, the whole world looks better,” Xiao Ming said lazily, gazing at the deep blue sky he loved so much—clear and free of smog.
Lu Luo smiled sweetly. His happiness was her happiness. “Your Highness, I have some good news too.”
“Oh? Tell me.”
“A very skilled woman joined our textile workshop. She’s excellent at both weaving and sewing—much better than I am. At this rate, I might lose my job as workshop supervisor,” Lu Luo said with a sigh.
