Chapter 304: Civilian Steel

Menicus was sharp-minded enough to notice that Alexander's answer did not specifically say that he was going to reduce production.

'How is he going to squirm out of this one,' Menicus asked himself.

And Alexander gave a pretty good answer, "We will decrease steel quality. The lower-quality steel will be called normal steel, while the steel we are currently producing will be called military grade steel."

"Oh! That's a great solution my lord," Heliptos was the most excited about this best-of-both-worlds solution, meaning they will get both the money and maintain their state security.

"How much will the steel differ?" Menes half-pointedly asked.

"I will design a demonstration," Alexander simply promised.

He intended to make this normal steel for civilian use by simply not roasting the iron ore and not adding the flux during the Bessemer process.
