Institutionalization? Well, another strange word.

    Since my friend came back from the fortress and liked to spend his time in his study, he could always hear all kinds of new words from his mouth. Thorne thought.

    Looking at Arthur with a determined face, Gustav said anxiously, "I hope your kindness is right, otherwise we will have a headache about how to spend gold coins to buy slaves."

    "Don''t worry," Arthur said with relief, "the reform of the system is like this for the time being, and then the reform of technology."

    "Technology? My friend, is it possible that those moldy books in the castle gave you some alchemy?"

    "Sort of." Arthur was noncommittal.

    He did read the books in the castle, but there was nothing valuable in them. Most of them were Historical Biographies, describing the glorious deeds of the tustra family and some continental legends.

    It doesn''t feel very useful.

    Speaking of books, Arthur suddenly remembered an important thing.

    Looking at Gustav, Arthur asked, "is bachelor Boye still with you?"

    "Bachelor? Why do you suddenly think of him?" Gustav asked.

    Arthur''s completely irrelevant questions made him a little confused.

    His friend, the most impatient man in the past, was the bachelor Boye, so he drove him out of the castle.

    But it can''t blame Arthur. The old guy is really annoying enough. He chatters like a mosquito preaching.

    "I have something very important to give to Mr. Boye. In other words, you won''t have driven him back to Xuecheng?"

    "That''s not true," replied Gustav. "You asked me to do movable type printing. I sent him to the iron ore Bureau. Most people can''t recognize so many words. Bachelor Boye is just right."

    "That''s good."

    Arthur nodded. It was indeed his negligence, but fortunately, the bachelor Boye was still on the river.

    Bachelor''s degree is the group with the highest cultural level in the world. They often read widely, are familiar with mainland history and all kinds of knowledge, and specifically serve the nobility.

    Reasonably speaking, this should have been a high-ranking class. After all, they have the right to record history and explain knowledge.

    However, the facts are quite different.

    Not only the bachelor''s degree group, but also the clergy of various religions, have the right to record history and explain knowledge.

    For the bachelor group, all kinds of clergy are extremely disgusted.

    Think they not only do not believe in gods, but even speculate about gods!

    If it had not been for the protection of the nobility, the bachelor group would no longer exist.

    The reason why nobles protect bachelor''s degree is not that they believe in knowledge or truth, but that the pursuit of bachelor''s group is more harmless than religious clergy.

    The nobles believe in force!

    Aristocrats often treat knowledge with disdain, such as Arthur.

    Therefore, although bachelors are nominally noble counselors, in fact, they also serve as tutors, librarians, scribes, secretaries and so on.

    Frankly speaking, the bachelor group is a senior servant in the eyes of the nobility.

    Mr. Boye was expelled from Lingfeng Castle because of his dissatisfaction with Arthur''s excessive advice.

    Looking at Gustav, Arthur said, "when you are finished making movable type printing, send the bachelor back to Lingfeng Castle immediately. I have something important for him. Remember, you can''t neglect it."

    "No problem. I''ll arrange a carriage to send the bachelor back."

    Although there was some doubt about Arthur''s change of attitude, it was not a big deal. Gustav readily agreed.

    After solving the matter of Boyle''s bachelor, Arthur then told: "papermaking and printing should be completed as soon as possible. These two things are of great significance and related to the future of Shanghe collar."

    "God, my friend, this is the third time you mentioned it since I came to the castle!" Gustav exaggerated, "don''t worry! It''s not too difficult. If you ask again, you just doubt my Gustav''s ability!"

    "Three times..." Arthur raised his hand and touched his head.

    Staring at him, Gustav nodded seriously.

    To tell the truth, he didn''t quite understand why Arthur valued these two things so much. What did he need so much paper to do? Couldn''t it be used to wipe his ass?

    "Well, I''m too anxious. It''s really not too difficult."

    The principle of movable type printing is very simple, which can be understood at a glance.

    Although papermaking is more complicated, it is nothing more than pulping, papermaking and drying. The key lies in the process of pulping and the use of glue in papermaking.

    You can only understand it by looking at it.

    He was a little too anxious and worried.

    After finishing these topics, Arthur continued: "the low efficiency of the iron ore bureau is mainly due to the steel-making technology. We can''t directly obtain the steel for forging weapons and armor."

    Arthur has asked about the iron smelting technology in this world before. There is no problem in obtaining raw and cooked iron, but he can''t directly smelt steel.

    Cooked iron is soft. It can only be used to make lock armor, not weapons or armor.

    Pig iron has too many impurities and brittle texture. If you want to make weapons, you need to heat and forge repeatedly, which is time-consuming and laborious.

    Such a situation is a great constraint on the future development of Shanghe collar.

    Because in Arthur''s imagination, iron is not only used for military, but also used for agricultural production and life.

    In view of this situation, Arthur thought it was time to let the steel pouring method come out.

    Looking at Gustav, Arthur said, "I saw an alchemy called steel pouring method in the ancient books of the castle, which can directly smelt steel, and the method is very simple. I''ll write it down later, and you can take it back to the iron ore Bureau for test. I believe it can directly smelt steel."

    Steel pouring method is simply to combine pig iron and wrought iron.

    Using the characteristics of high carbon content in pig iron and more oxidation inclusions in cooked iron, the oxygen in cooked iron is used to oxidize silicon, manganese and carbon in pig iron, so as to achieve the steelmaking method of removing inclusions.

    This method has simple principle and easy operation, but the effect is very obvious.

    It can be called "true alchemy!"

    "Experiment? Isn''t it the exact alchemy formula?" Gustav asked.

    "The ancient book is shabby and illegible, and has been turned into debris." Arthur lied and prevaricated, "but I still remember the general method. Even if it can''t succeed at one time, it''s no problem to experiment more than once."

    Arthur''s understanding of the steel pouring method is limited to words.

    In junior high school, there was an introduction to the steel pouring method in the history textbook.

    Because the history teacher said, "the steel mills in our county are too backward and still use this old method to make steel", Arthur specially checked it on the Internet.

    Backwardness is indeed backwardness, but it is in the earth of the 21st world. In the present Shanghe collar, the steel pouring method is absolutely an epoch-making alchemy!

    The steel pouring method Arthur wants to give to Gustav is an improved pig iron pouring method in the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the northern and Southern Dynasties, the process of pig iron pouring method is more simplified.

    But after all, he had not personally refined steel, so Arthur thought it better to be modest for the sake of safety.

    What if... What if I hit my face
