Chapter 873： New Technology and Manganese Ore

"Your Excellency Secretary-General, have I already passed!" The applicant was a young priest in a white robe, and he looked eagerly at Rastigne who was sitting in the position of the presiding judge. Rastigne smiled slightly, and did not answer the young priest's question, and then responded with a succinct statement: "Respected priest, I think you should devote all your energy to serving the Lord, not serving the Lord. Let me ask if you have passed this matter.” Father Baipao smiled wryly to Rastigne and said that he was actually exiled by the church on the grounds of his experience, and now he is tired of the job of a priest, but suffers from There was no suitable opportunity, so I never took off this robe. It happened that the Governor's Palace was recruited in Libreville this time, and he himself knew a lot about various minerals, so he wanted to take this opportunity to work under the Governor's Palace. At the same time, the white-robed priest hinted that as long as he could enter the Doge's Palace, he would definitely follow Rastigne. Faced with the laziness of the white-robed priest, Rastigne smiled slightly, and he had heard such hints many times. Even in the previous interviews, someone told him nakedly that as long as Rastigny Let him in, and he'll pay Rastigne a lot of money. However, Rastigne did not hear such clear hints. In his opinion, since this kind of person can sell himself to him for such a small benefit, when there is a greater benefit in the future, there is a high probability that he will also quickly Betraying him and keeping someone like that around is a period bomb. Furthermore, Rastigne's goal is not just to be the Secretary General of the Governor's Office, this position is only a stepping stone for him, and only Paris is his vast world. If you want to go back to Paris, you have to help the governor of Gabon to run Gabon well. Otherwise, Rastigne could only stay here for the rest of his life. Therefore, in selecting the bureaucrats of the Governor's Office, Rastigne recruited with the determination of Ning's lack of mothers. "Mr. Father, you just need to go back and wait for the notification!" Rastigne responded sternly, and in his heart, the white-robed priest had been completely passed. When Father Baipao heard Rastigne's reply, he couldn't help showing a trace of unwillingness on his face. However, the blatant trouble here was obviously indecent, so he had to force a smile and said to Rastigne: "That's good! Please! Notify me as soon as possible! I will definitely come over as soon as possible!" After Father Baipao left, Rastigne continued to hold his head down for the interview. After interviewing several people in a row, Rastigne was still not very satisfied with them. So, Rastigne stopped the interview and said to himself, "Am I asking too much?" After a while, Rastigne shook his head to himself and said, "No! No! If they can't even pass my level, how can they expect them to explore for ore!" Come on, Rastigne resumed the interview. The interview did not stop until 5:00 pm, and a tired Rastigne packed all the materials and arrived at the Governor's office. "How's the result today?" Jerome Patterson, who heard the footsteps, raised his head and asked Rastigne. Rastigne shook his head and responded to Jerome Paterson: "No!" "Not all of them? Hasn't anyone seen it a little?" Jerome Paterson asked again. "Everyone so far, not all of them!" Rastigne specially emphasized. "Then..." Jerome Patterson put down the pen in his hand and showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he responded to Rastigne: "Then we can only ask Paris for help?" Interview for a while! Maybe you will meet the right person!" Although Rastigne no longer had any hope for Libreville, he still responded to Jerome Paterson. "Alright then!" Jerome Patterson nodded and agreed to Rastigne's request. He didn't want to trouble Paris with everything. Over the next two days, Rastigne interviewed dozens more non-stop. However, no one passed Rastigne's interview, so Rastigne had to return to the Governor's office again and told Governor Jerome Paterson the news. "Okay!" Jerome Afraid spread his hands and responded to Rastigne: "Now we can only seek assistance from Paris!" Immediately afterwards, Jerome Paterson called the Governor A messenger from the palace, and in the surprised eyes of Rastigny, he handed the letter from the drawer to the messenger, and instructed him: "You will return to Marseille by boat immediately, and then send this letter to Paris in the form of a telegram. "Yes! Your Excellency the Governor!" The messenger saluted Jerome Paterson after receiving the letter. "Go!" Jerome Patterson waved at the messenger. After the messenger left, Jérôme Patterson apologized to Rastigne. He said that the letter was just to prevent finding a suitable person and prepare things in advance. "Your Excellency the Governor, you are doing the right thing!" Rastigne responded bluntly to Jerome Paterson: "Anything, it is best to prepare both hands!"... After leaving the Governor's Palace The courier set off on a cargo ship returning to France that night. After a week or so of sailing, the cargo ship arrived at the port of Marseille. The messenger who got off the cargo ship trotted all the way to the telegraph office in Marseille. "Where do you want to send it? To sleep?" the sender asked the messenger while tearing open the envelope. "Monsieur, the Tuin-lely Palace! Give it to His Majesty Emperor Jerome Bonaparte!" the messenger said to the messenger without hesitation. The dispatcher's hand immediately stopped, and he asked with wide eyes and a surprised expression: "I didn't hear clearly, please say it again!" "Sir, please send the content of the letter to the hot desk of the Tuin Leli Palace. In the hands of His Majesty Emperor Roma Bonaparte!" The messenger responded to the sender word by word. "God!" the operator couldn't help groaning, and he handed the letter back to the messenger, telling him that the letter would be best conveyed by the city hall. The messenger knew the dispatcher's concerns, and he hurriedly assured the dispatcher: "Don't worry! The contents of the envelope are not shady, you can send it with confidence!" "Really?" The clerk asked the messenger with a worried look on his face. "Of course it's true!" The letter responded to the sender in a confident tone: "I can still lie to you!" "Alright then!" The sender nodded, then opened the envelope and folded it in half Unfold the letter, read it carefully, and send it. At the same time, the Tuin Leli Palace is a hundred kilometers away. Jerome Bonaparte looked at the document jointly submitted by Eugène Schneider and Wilhelm Siemens with a sad expression. It turns out that some time ago, William Siemens heard rumors from nowhere that adding mirror iron to Gangzhong can effectively desulfurize. So, with the help of Eugene Schneider, Wilhelm Siemens began to experiment. After numerous attempts and control experiments, William Siemens managed to use ferromanganese to control the content of phosphorus and sulfur in steel. William. Siemens hurriedly applied for the patent in France, and then submitted documents to Jerome Bonaparte together with Eugène Schneider. [ps: This discovery should have been discovered by William Siemens in 1866. 】 Looking at the plan in front of him, Jerome Bonaparte was both happy and worried. The good news is that the steel utilization rate in France will increase significantly, and some iron ore with high phosphorus content in the Lorraine area can also be effectively utilized. Sadly, there are too few manganese ore in France. In this era, let alone France, there are not many manganese mines in Europe. [Ukraine and Hungary have not yet developed during this period, and manganese ore is scarce in Britain and France. ] Manganese ore is precisely needed for smelting steel, which means that France has to spend a lot of foreign exchange to import manganese ore. uukanshu. com In this way, the cost of steel that was originally reduced by William Siemens has not been reduced much at all. This technology is simply useless for France, except that France can find a supply of cheap manganese ore, "Manganese ore...manganese ore...I think where there is manganese ore!" Jerome Bonaparte closed his eyes and muttered silently. on. After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Jerome Bonaparte opened his eyes and asked, "Who?" Basilio's voice came from outside the room, "Your Majesty, I am Basilio!" "Come in!" said Jerome Bonaparte sternly. Basilio pushed in the door, and Jerome Bonaparte asked again: "What's the matter?" "Your Majesty, here is a telegram for you!" Basilio said to Jerome Bonaparte . "The telegram for me?" Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand and responded to Basilio: "Bring it here!" "Yes!" Basilio handed the telegram to Jerome Bonaparte's in hand. Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the contents of the telegram and said with a light smile on his face: "What am I supposed to be! It turned out that I was going to send them a geologist!" Suddenly, Jerome Bonaparte said Ba seemed to realize something, he turned his head and asked Basilio: "Basilio! If I remember correctly, Jerome Paterson seems to be the governor of Gabon, right!" Bonaparte suddenly asked Basilio, who was confused. After subconsciously thinking for a moment, he responded decisively to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, Jerome Paterson was indeed dispatched by you. Libreville, governor of the Gabon region!" "What a coincidence! What a coincidence!" Jerome Bonaparte got up and paced back and forth twice, then raised his head again and handed the telegram to Basilio To Basilio: "Look at it too!"
