Fifteen days later.

The factory work was finally complete.

The two factories opened once again after a long time and when the workers returned, they were stunned. They didn't expect to see so many new machines in the factories. Sam has equipped everything they needed for the next stage of production.

He sent the workers who wanted to work on weapon manufacturing to the weapon manufacturing zone.

There is a large furnace there and all the artisans have to do is, drop the metal and use their own energy to melt, the formations on the furnace amplify and uses the fire elemental energy from the elemental spirit stones to reduce the burden on the person who is melting the metal.

The furnace can not only be used to melt the metal, it can also be used as a normal forge to heat the metal to the desired condition. The quenching tanks, power hammers, power hacksaw, circular saw, belt grinder, grinding wheel, there are so many machines in the section and they can work efficiently.

The shipbuilding factory was also filled will the kinds of tools required for basic manufacturing.

He even placed new welding machines he designed recently, they have a special torch which has two nozzles one which produces the gas flames that are coming from the combination of methane and oxygen. Even though he would have preferred if there is acetylene, the methane has no aversive effects on the metals. The second nozzle on the torch releases the powdered metal. As soon as the torch is activated a formation is projected as the metal powder and the fire are released in perfect sync and the small formation will protect the metal from not getting astray and dropping out of the welding zone.

The formation also cools the metal rapidly, at least to the point where it doesn't flow down and stay in its place.

This way, most of the overhead welds can also be done.

Sam eliminated the need for a lot of other things with the formations and the inscriptions, he doesn't need flux, the shield and he doesn't even need to worry about the metal staying in the place in case of the overhead works.

Apart from that, there are bending machines, large furnaces and molds and so on.

But the most exciting part was left to the last.

The rest of the area in the former weapon workshop.

There Sam took the rest of the people who are interested in any form of metal processing.

He unveiled them their next big project, the steam engine. Even though, Sam used steam engines in his home planet and quite a lot of them, here he is using a modified version.

For this steam engine, there is no need for too many operators who constantly use their own control to maintain the constant output.

Rather, the operation is a bit easier. All they have to do is shovel the fire elemental spirit stones into the chamber like how they shovel the coal into a normal steam engine.

But in this case, there is no need to use the same amount of spirit stones as they would have used in the case of coal and the machine is sturdier, a bit smaller, and compact and they can even mount one on a small speed boat used for riding a few people in a nice sea trip, to yachts, large ocean liners, and even the Naval ships.

He used different power sources and control methods in his Naval fleet. But there are some reasons for doing so.

One of them is that he is in too much of a hurry at that time and the second one is that he didn't develop this steam engine at that time. But even without it, his fleet is the best on the whole planet.

Now that his new design is complete, he will sell the old one and develop a new one.

Sam has made some small models of steam engines suitable for various-sized ships. As for extremely large models, he didn't have enough patience or time to make one.

He gave some books regarding the working principles of the engines and some more information to the workers to study for the next few days. But they had to take a pill in exchange.

Apart from the engine, he also brought out some suitable steering and transmission mechanisms for the ships that make the work a lot easier.

Now the workers understood what Sam meant by setting standards in the shipping industry. He would make all the wind element users who maintain the sails jobless and useless.

His factory is the only one who can make an engine, and just like before, Sam has already set a lot of restrictions for the people who tried to reverse engineer it.

They would bust it just like that.

After that Sam went to the shipbuilding factory and gave the new boat designs for them to study. He gave the tasks to build these boats from scratch and see if they can understand how to manufacture them properly.

While he let them do the work, he thought of something. The security of the business. At first, he didn't want to give Yodha any partnership because he was afraid that some military people might use him to get everything easily.

But now that he thought about it, he will be leaving this place soon and who knows when he would come back. He has to find a way out for himself so that his designs and workers will be safe.

While making machines, Sam was thinking of all this. After some thought, he finally came to a conclusion. He will give a small part of this to Yodha for security. His job is to ensure the safety of the factory and the workers that is it.

He decided to go and talk to him.

But at this moment, he received a raven. Sam took it and read the message. It is from Yodha. He is not in the construction site on the beach, rather he is in the imperial capital.

Every time a war was ended, there would be a few months off for the major contributors. So Sam, Yodha, and the General got some time off and it is about to end.

Not only did Yodha mention the time for rejoining, but he also mentioned the favor Sam asked.

The favor regarding the Palace of inheritance.

There are less than two months left for the next palace of inheritance. Sam knew that it is about time, the news regarding the palace appeared.

So, he is waiting for the message and coincidentally it came right after Sam finished the basic preparations for the factory.

Sam once again went to the imperial capital and met with Yodha.

They talked about rejoining the army. But only for a little bit. Sam only has to train the special division soldiers and the normal soldiers before the war, so there is no need for him to worry about too much.

As for the Palace of inheritance, this is something he needed to know urgently and the news shocked him silly.

"There is something named Palace of inheritance appeared within the Imperial hunting grounds," Yodha said and Sam couldn't help but shake his head.

"Imperial hunting grounds? Are they the hunting grounds towards the rear of the capital?"

"No, there is a special forest to the northwest of the capital specifically maintained for the hunting of the imperial family members. The rest of the people, even the nobility rarely get a chance to get in there.

It is mostly used for wilderness training for the Imperial scions and they get to take very few outsiders inside.

The forest is actually a treasure trove, the beasts aside, many valuable herbs that couldn't be grown in farms, and many more wonderful things are left in there. All the predecessors of the imperial family will die there at their old age.

There are special tombs constructed for them, with their wills still staying there for the suitable descendants to inherit their experience and legacy.

The treasures they earned all their lives will also be buried along with them. It is one of the most guarded places in the whole nation and the palace of inheritance appeared there.

Emperor said he got a message from someone from the palace of inheritance to select three great prospects in the Late-nascent stage to go into the Palace and also gave three tokens.

Some experts that guard the grounds already tried to pry into it, but they returned almost dead. They are all recovering in the Imperial palace now.

Emperor is going to conduct a tournament for the best nascent stage cultivator in the whole nation and going to give away two tokens."

"Only two?"

"Well, he reserved the third one for him son. Even though he is righteous and generous, he couldn't let his son lose such an opportunity right? In fact, he didn't want to do that, but all the officials and even my father persuaded him otherwise."

"Alright, but do you know if any of these Palaces appeared in the other nations, is the message going to spread quickly enough?"

"The rubrum empire also has this type of palace appearing inside their sacred place, similar to the Imperial hunting grounds. As for the rest of the nations, it is not known yet."
