Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 222 Double Cultivation
But Vivian also knew that Sean was not greedy for her body like Robert, so he didn't have the slightest fear:
"Your Highness Sean, you go hunting during the day to practice magic, right?"

"You can see it all." Xiao En said with a smile: "My current magic level has improved a lot by leaps and bounds."

As Sean spoke, he directed the surrounding water elements to condense into a stream of water, which quickly rotated around his body.

This technique best reflects one's elemental manipulation ability.

But Vivienne's eyes were fixed: "Your Highness Xiao En, you are almost in the middle of the bronze?!"

Sean withdrew the water flow, nodded and said, "It should be soon."

Vivienne said in disbelief: "It's unbelievable! The last time I saw you, you had just entered the Bronze Rank, and it's only been a few days! You're almost at the Bronze Intermediate Rank!"

Sean said cheekily: "Ahem, it's all the result of my hard work. Vivienne, let's officially start today's class!"

"Okay, Your Highness Sean!"

Vivian also knew that personal cultivation was a relatively private topic, so she calmed down and opened the book about water magic that Sean bought.

While recalling, he told Sean about the magic knowledge learned in class.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, teacher Vivienne's class officially ended.

"Your Highness Sean, it's getting late now, let's end today's lesson, and I'm going back to practice."

Vivian closed "Preliminary Magic" and yawned.

Xiao En was still a little unfulfilled, and suddenly said: "How about Vivian, you can stay and double cultivate with me!"

"Double cultivation? What is dual cultivation?" Vivian asked curiously.

"Um, 'Double Cultivation' is a popular term in our Palomia, which means that two people practice together." Sean said solemnly.

Vivienne thought for a while, then refused:

"Forget it! Cultivation is a very personal matter. Two people practicing together will affect each other's progress. I'll go back first!"

"OK then."

Although he was a little reluctant, Sean sent Vivian back to her room.

Then, Sean returned to the bedroom, abandoned his mind and began to practice.

After a day of study, Sean's rate of gaining experience increased again, from 142 points/hour to 147 points/hour.

Although the improvement is not much, Sean is already very satisfied.

After all, Sean can only get 30 experience points per hour on average when he goes out hunting, and the bulk of the increase in level is still in cultivation.

Three hours later, the exhausted Sean fell asleep on the bed. Now his experience points have reached level 22, 593/1600.

In two or three days, he will be able to rise to level 23!

September 5, rain.

The rain in spring is like this, it rains continuously and continuously.

After breakfast, Sean left the castle with Windsor and walked towards the mill.

Because of the rain, there were already many muddy footprints on the gravel road in front of the castle gate.

Sean frowned when he saw these footprints. It seems that making cement is also on the agenda!
Arriving at the gate of the mill, Eun has been waiting under the eaves of the mill gate for a long time.

Seeing Sean coming, Yoen knelt down in the mud regardless of the mud on the ground.

Sean leaned down and patted You En on the shoulder reassuringly, then walked into the mill and found the cauldron containing soapy liquid.

The soap liquid that was originally yellow and black has now turned into pure white. Sean shoveled it out of the pot with a shovel, and saw that the surface of the whole piece of lard soap was white, and there was a layer of black residue at the bottom.

Although it has been placed for about 15 hours, the soap still has not completely solidified, and it seems that it needs to be placed for a longer time.

"My lord, is this the soap you were talking about?" Windsor asked looking at the white thing.

Sean nodded, then shook his head again:

"It is, it is not, it can only be said to be a semi-finished product. You En, find a piece of dirty cloth or leather, any kind of cloth or leather will do!"

"Okay, my lord!"

When You En heard Xiao En's words, he hurriedly held up his umbrella and ran out in a panic.

After a while, Eun returned to the mill and handed a dirty rag to Sean.

Sean took the rag, put it in the bucket and rubbed it vigorously with the lard soap to test the effect of the lard soap.

But after using it, Sean found that the effect of this piece of lard soap was not very good, it can be said to be very poor.

First of all, the effect of cleaning the stains is a little bit, but it is still far from the expectation.

The second is that it burns your hands very much when you use it. After washing, your hands are sticky, like a layer of lard, which shows that the lye and oil have not fully reacted.

Finally, the smell is very bad when used, and this kind of product must not be sold.

So Sean sighed:

"Hey, Windsor, we failed the first test, but we can continue to improve, let's repeat what we did yesterday."

"So, we can eat lard residue again tonight?" Windsor's eyes lit up.

Sean: "."

Seeing that Sean didn't speak, Windsor hurriedly lit the stove and began to prepare fried lard.

Eun also stirred and filtered the plant ash under Xiao En's command.

The steps are the same as yesterday, but this time the stirring time of the soap solution has been extended to one hour.

Eun's face turned pale when he heard Xiao En say that he would stir for an hour, but thinking that Anduin was not here today and no one would speak for him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and start stirring the soap.

An hour later, when Eun had already shown signs of losing strength, Sean made him stop:
"Okay, Ewan, pour the soap into the bucket."

Eun was relieved, and quickly poured the soap liquid into the wooden barrel. If he continued to stir, he felt that he was about to collapse.

Sean had nothing to do with the soap after it entered the storage stage, so Sean left the mill and went to the administrative hall with Windsor to find Anduin.

In the administrative hall, Sean ordered Anduin to collect materials for making cement.

Although Sean failed to make soap once, he is quite confident in making cement. After all, Sean was an architect in his previous life!

This kind of thing is engraved in DNA.

The process of making cement is very simple. Limestone is crushed into powder and mixed with clay and iron powder. The clinker is calcined by dry or wet method, and then ground together with gypsum.

The raw materials are very common, iron powder is not easy to obtain, and iron slag produced by dwarven blacksmiths can be used instead.

The core point and difficulty lies in the calcination of clinker.

If the cement maker is an ordinary person, clinker calcination needs a calcination furnace made of insulating bricks, and the furnace temperature must be maintained at 1350 degrees.

In order to maintain the temperature of the furnace, coal and blower are also needed (if there is no one, a fan can be barely replaced).

After all, the melting temperature of iron is more than 500 degrees Celsius, and it is very difficult to ensure such a temperature.

Sean doesn't have time to make a calciner, and the key point is that he doesn't know how to do it, but fortunately, Sean has a lot of fire magicians under his command.

[Guardian of Mystery] Kyle, [Flame Imp] Levi Anson, and [Black Whelpling] are all fire-type. Sean has seen the flames released by them, and they should be able to reach a sufficient temperature.
