Chapter 72

The reason for choosing this name is not that Donne is a nationalist who wants to insert the flag of that country on earth all over prandal

It's just that he's lazy and easy, because his last name is Tang, so he's called this name.

Dangru, if you want to understand like that, it's not bad. Anyway, don didn't think too much.

"Datang chamber of Commerce? OK."

Fiona immediately wrote down the name, when Donne suddenly said, "by the way, all our products in the future should be marked with our marks."

Fiona was stunned: "mark?"

"Yes, just like those blacksmith masters will engrave their names on the weapons after they make them."

Donne snapped his fingers, and a flame immediately appeared in the air. The flame quickly twisted and rotated, and soon became an image of a five clawed Golden Dragon coiled together. The golden dragon was wrapped around the two Chinese characters of "Datang": "this icon will be our trademark in the future."

"What is this?"

Fiona didn't recognize what animal the image composed of flame was, and didn't know the two symbols in the middle like words. It felt a little novel.

"Don't care what it is. In a word, the trademark of Datang chamber of Commerce will be the Golden Dragon icon in the future."

"Trademark? What is this?"

Fiona fainted. She couldn't understand anything Donne said at the moment.

Dunn suddenly realized that prandal did not have the concept of brand trademark. Even the good things produced by those masters just had a brand prototype and became famous for themselves.

So Donne simply explained the role of the trademark for Fiona.

"Fiona, if you are a soldier and you want to buy weapons, there are two in front of you, with the same quality, shape and price, but one is made by Brian and the other by Edgar. Which one would you choose?"

"Brian made it, of course."

Fiona gave him a white look. Do you still need to think about it? Dwarf products are quality assurance.

"Yes, but if you don't see their building process, how can you tell who built these two products?"

"This... Usually has the mark left by the forger?"

"Yes, this is the prototype of the trademark."

Donne nodded: "further, if this trademark is clearly marked on the product, and then the product made by Brian is a little more expensive than that made by Edgar, which one would you choose?"

"If it's not too expensive, of course, Brian made it..."

As soon as Fiona finished, she immediately understood: "I know! This is the meaning of trademark and brand!"

"That's right. Trademarks are to identify goods, while brands are to increase the added value of products."

Donne clapped his hands: "what we need to do is to popularize the trademark to every product of our company and let everyone know that these things are produced by Datang chamber of Commerce and originated from Ellington. Our goal is to turn the trademark of Datang chamber of commerce into a recognized brand."

"In that case..."

Fiona's eyes are shining. She came from a business family and soon thought of more benefits of the trademark: "once the market recognizes our brand, our competitiveness will be enhanced a lot. Not only that, but also we can prevent others from counterfeiting our products! Moreover, after the brand is formed, our profits will be higher!"

"Yes, it's called anti-counterfeiting trademark. It's more technical, but..."

Donne smiled: "it's not a problem for me. Just leave it to me."

"Good!"

Fiona was excited, as if she had seen a huge market waving to her.

"By the way, when I came back, I went with the cross rose mercenary regiment. They are stationed in the oak heart tavern and will stay here for a day. You will send someone to inform old Tom and aunt Fanny later and let them entertain the guests. Make sure they feel at home."

Old Tom is Danny's friend Tom's father. Because he can't read, his son's name is also Tom. Everyone calls him old Tom.

"Mercenary regiment? It's not necessary for mercenaries..."

"No, you forgot a little more."

Don shook his head: "For the current Ellington, the only way to increase the floating population is to make its own reputation and let everyone know that Ellington is a good place. The people here are warm and hospitable, the public security here is very good, and the things here are good and cheap. Once everyone forms this impression, the flow of people will naturally gather here."

Donne said earnestly, "we should manage the territory as a brand. This is the way we should go."

"I see!"

Fiona solemnly accepted Donne's education. Although Donne was extravagant in spending money, Fiona had to admit that Donne had incredible talent in this regard. The ideas he came up with were like a stroke of God. Obviously, they were only simple means, but their development potential in the future was powerful and incredible.

Fiona didn't even think she would be surprised when Donne said that he was actually the son of the gods that day.

After explaining these things, Donne's attention returned to the charcoal factory: "can the charcoal factory work now?"

"The first batch of charcoal has been fired. With the help of several old charcoal workers, those slaves have started."

Donne was inspired: "good. Next, we can consider building a blast furnace!"

In addition to blowing carbon, steel-making also needs quicklime, which is fired from limestone. Limestone is dug everywhere in the iron ore mountain in Brussels. He has ordered Rogers to leave those limestone.

Rogers told Donne that Rex had even worried about how to deal with the stones before, but he didn't expect that Donne asked them to transport the stones to Ellington.

Donne didn't explain at that time. Now there is a large amount of limestone piled up outside with the iron ore.

There is also a production line for firing quicklime, but don doesn't know what it looks like. He doesn't bother to make so much trouble. Limestone calcined at high temperature will decompose into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide, and calcium oxide is the so-called quicklime. As long as he knows this principle and can solve problems by magic, he will never burn his brain again.

The problem of quicklime is very easy to solve. The main problem perplexing Donne is the problem of steelmaking furnace.

Donne's impression that the steelmaking furnace used in medium and large factories seems to be called a converter? But he has no idea what the converter is

But he knows a little.

However, whether it is a converter or a blast furnace, the main technical difficulty to be solved is the problem of temperature and slag discharge, but this problem... Is not a problem at all in prandal.

Temperature? Donne estimated that the high-order fire magic temperature he released could easily reach more than 10000 degrees... For steelmaking? Don't be funny. It's estimated that the iron ore will be gasified directly.

The temperature of steelmaking can be easily solved with fire magic array.

As for slag removal, arcane magic has a miraculous effect here... It can clean up the residue inside without affecting the molten steel.

Instead of having a headache, it's better to have a headache about how to let ordinary workers complete these steps.

Maybe... You can recruit some mages to do this?

As soon as Tang en thought of this method, he laughed. Prandal's magicians are generally proud. How can they do this kind of work?

Unless

Unless you cultivate some magicians yourself.

"... Lord? Lord!"

Fiona called several times, and Donne came back: "what's up?"

"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll work!"

"No, no..."

So Donne was driven out of his study by Fiona.

"Really, who dares to ask after such a bad temper..."

Donne subconsciously complained.

"Bang!"

Something seemed to have hit the door in the study, and Donne ran away at once.

"Blast furnace... Um... Blast furnace..."

Donne thought hard for a long time, but he didn't think of the specific structure of the blast furnace. Finally, he simply patted his head and ran to find Brian.

"Remove impurities?"

Brian was stunned when he suddenly heard this question: "there is no special means, that is, normal melting, mold cooling, melting and forging again when necessary."

"But it's wrong..."

Donne frowned. Generally, the quality of products forged by dwarves is better than that produced by human blacksmiths, but on the one hand, technology is also material. Technology can not completely solve the defects of materials.

"Melt... Into the mold... Merge again... And so on!"

Donne suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I remember you despised the dwarves living in human cities and said that their skills were getting worse and worse?"

"That's right."

Brian looked puzzled. He told Donne casually when he was drunk last time. Why did he mention it at this time?

Donne seemed to touch the point: "I remember there is a crater under forge hammer castle. The furnace used by your dwarves will use the lava from the crater to continuously heat. At the same time, runes dwarves will lay down flame runes to gather fire elements, right?"

Brian suddenly widened his eyes: "damn - big brother, how can you know this!?"

Brian never told Donne about the situation in forge hammer castle, let alone the secret of Rune dwarves. This is the top secret information of the dwarf country!

No other race knows about it!

Donne doesn't wonder why Brian is so excited. In the eyes of the aborigines, dwarves are a pure warrior race. Dwarves have no other occupation except soldiers, priests and paladins who believe in the Earth Goddess.

However, there are mages among the dwarves.

According to the internal rumors of the dwarves, they are the children of runes blessed by the Earth Goddess and born with magic, so these rare dwarves are called Rune dwarves.

However, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is the great significance of Rune dwarves to dwarves - although Rune dwarves may not be all divine craftsmen, divine craftsmen are Rune dwarves=== PS: please vote after reading~~~~
