Previously, whether it was the blast furnace or the steam engine, the experiments and operational status were discussed in the Imperial Study Room.
This time, the Ministry of Public Works was able to present these matters during the morning court session because they had received the emperor's authorization.
With a solemn expression, the emperor looked down as Minister of Public Works Dong Bolin stepped forward and detailed the operation situations of the iron-smelting furnaces that incorporated blast furnace components over these past days since the New Year.
After that, he expanded on how the extensive application of blast furnaces in smelting could increase the iron material output of the Great Xia Dynasty. With an abundant supply of iron materials, their usage could extend across various industries, greatly enhancing productivity in all civilian sectors.
This would especially have a powerful effect on the defense system at the borders of the Great Xia Dynasty.
