บท 86: The Gift

September 18th, 883. 

Poul stood at the front of the room, a chalkboard behind him covered in equations and diagrams. A group of new workers sat in front of him, listening attentively as he explained the process of heat-treating chromoly.

"Now, the first step in the process is to heat the chromoly to a specific temperature," Poul said, gesturing to a chart on the chalkboard. "This is called the austenitizing temperature, and it's the point at which the chromoly begins to transform into an austenite crystal structure."

The workers scribbled notes furiously, trying to keep up with Poul's detailed explanation. He knew that the process of heat-treating chromoly was complex, and he was determined to teach them everything they needed to know before they set out to the field.

For him, it is important that the workers have a conceptual understanding of their work so that if an unexpected result comes in, they can still analyze it.
