Compared to the first blast furnaces, the process of pouring down molten steel from the Bessemer one was way more rapid. Rather than waiting for the metal to flow out from the furnace chamber by itself, workers would observe the colour of the flame above the single opening of the burning chamber.
As soon as the right moment came, one of the workers pushed the rod, connecting the already operating steam engine to the set of pulleys and gears, slowly angling the massive furnace on its axis towards the ground.
The moment the liquid metal stored inside the chamber reached the opening of the barrel, it started flowing through a particular set of cast iron half-pipes, slowly filling out the forms prepared in advance.
One by one, the limestone packages were starting to steam the remaining water off from their structure, indicating that the process of settling already begun.
Overall, about the recent stall of the updates.
I kinda lost the drive. Maybe due to moving back to the city, maybe for some other reasons, I found it hard to focus on writing and do anything more than 100 words at once. Is it the retribution for how hard I worked past few months?
I don't know. Even the fact that I got Grammarly premium is not helping, as I feel forced to use it to its maximum capacity right now, putting even greater strain on my fingers and how long does it take for me to write a single chapter.
Obviously, I'm not dropping the novel. What I will most likely drop thought, is the idea of writing the missing chapters.
I'm sorry guys, even I have a limit to how much I can endure, and the shtload of matters I gotta take care off right now was the straw that broke the Sloth's neck.
So all I can ask, is for you to bear with me, as we are stepping in the second arc and volume of the story! (chap 185 marks the new arc)
