Chapitre 213: Besemmer process and Clock

Mathew Silva took immense pride in his blacksmithing skills and expertise in metallurgy. This knowledge had won him the hand of a noble's daughter and earned him respect wherever he went. Despite being from a foreign land, he had been employed by Emperor Hemu and held great authority in his ironworks as the chief engineer for the empire's cannon needs. Over time, he had come to believe he was the greatest metallurgist of his era.

However, a challenge to his beliefs arose a month ago when Aditya shared his rumored master's designs on the Bessemer process. While Mathew was impressed by Aditya's innovative ideas, he never truly believed that steel production through a Bessemer converter could be as effective as claimed. After all, producing steel from five tons of iron traditionally took an entire day, yielding less than half the amount of steel he expected.
