Chapter 212: Phosphate Rock!
Pharmacy?
I'm obviously growing vegetables...... Shouldn't I be given a nutrition science for skills?
Pharmaceutical skills can refine the active ingredients in the plant and fuse them, and the effect is not necessarily to cure diseases, but also to poison them......
No wonder it's a separate skill from [First Aid].
Is the template of the Earthwalker still an old silver coin......
The key is that I poison who will go?
Use [Pharmacy] to prepare the poison first, and then use [First Aid] to save it after the poison is overturned...... It's too disdainful.
On the island, harmony makes money...... Xu Le continued to inspect the ore brought back by the wolves.
Among these ores, iron ore and limestone are also the majority, which Xu Le pointed out to them.
Of course, the numbers are lackluster.
After all, the wolf's mouth is so big, and he will bring such a piece at one time.
The efficiency of using the grip is still better than letting Bajie carry it......
Not to mention the djinn...... Xu Le glanced at the wild boar that was rolling in the shade of the tree.
The wild boar's bristles stood up instantly, and the motion of rolling froze at that time.
It peeked at Xu Le tremblingly, and after finding that Xu Le's gaze had moved away again, it arched its nose and continued to roll.
Continue to rummage the ore.
"This should be chalcopyrite?"
Xu Le grabbed a piece of ore composed of irregular small square crystals, yellow-brown in color, with a metallic luster, and took a closer look.
The surface of the ore shimmers with a luster similar to that of gold, but the texture is brittle and hard.
It would be nice to be more blind and less hard...... That would be gold, not brass.
Well, so chalcopyrite is also known as fool's gold, and it is really difficult to distinguish from each other in appearance.
Copper was less difficult to process than iron, and the Bronze Age was the normal order before the Iron Age when civilization began......
But I already have an iron-smelting workshop, so I can keep brass as a backup resource...... Xu Le put away the brass ore.
Then he grabbed another fist-sized, grayish-black stone with sedimentary streaks on the surface.
"Not bad......"
He put the ore close to the camera, "Friends in the live broadcast room, our luck is really good this time." β
"It's a piece of phosphate rock. β
Barrage in the live broadcast roomββ
"Phosphate rock? is that phosphorus that can light ghost fire?"
"Upstairs is talking about white phosphorus, and the distance between phosphate rock and white phosphorus is still far away. That has to go through industrial production before it can be refined. β
"Phosphorus ...... of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium So Xu Le, big man, is this going to be used for fertilizing the fields?"
β...... By digging up phosphate rock directly and burying it in the ground, fertilize the field?"
"Otherwise, what can phosphate rock do? Listening to Xu Le's tone, can't he really have a way to use phosphate rock?"
Xu Le cautiously put away the phosphate rock and explained: "The use of phosphate rock is still relatively wide, and the conditions on the island are limited, but it is not helpless to do anything with it. β
Barrage β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
"Hahaha, I feel that upstairs is being targeted by Xu Le. β
"Brother, can't you really see the barrage?"
Pack your things!
The plants brought by the wolves have been planted, and the ores and the like are how they brought the col and how they were brought out.
Split the wooden oxen and horses, and the parts of the mechanism are carried by the idle wolves.
Return to the courtyard!
The wolves docilely piled the ore in the designated place in the yard, and then crawled down in groups of three or five, sticking out their tongues to cool their bodies.
Cultivated land plus climbing plus handling......
And that's not counting yesterday and this morning, the island was full of ores and plants.
Even if it is a wolf with superior endurance, it should not be able to stand it or not be able to stand it.
Besides, they still have the idea of eating another meal.
It doesn't take Xu Le's skills to use his skills, just by glancing at the cellars where the smell of food wafts in, the campfires where the food is cooked, and the lime kilns, which can be guessed.
It's not time, the breeder doesn't cook...... Xu Le pretended not to see the expression of a group of wolves.
"It's still comfortable at home......
Lin Xihan stretched his waist like a water snake and stretched his waist.
She opened a chilled coconut for herself, Xu Le and Meng Yiyi.
Then the somewhat lazy Qingli beauty hesitated for a while, and tentatively leaned against the wild wolf with the largest size and was called "Erha" by Xu Le at the same time.
The wolf hair, which had a slightly rough texture mixed with earth, stones, and sea breeze, was like a tide rushing up in an instant, half-burying her body inside.
Erha's big head rested on the overlapping front paws, half-squinting and sticking out his tongue, ignoring her.
Its not-so-smart mind felt that everyone was a subordinate of the wolf lord anyway, and that was its own wolf, and it was not a big problem to rely on it.
It's just that the wolf lord's subordinates don't smell good...... There is no earthy smell at all, and you can't be noticed at the first time when hunting and ambushing?
How does this two-legged female wolf usually hunt......
Then again, why hasn't the wolf lord cooked for everyone yet...... It peeked at Xu Le from the corner of his eye.
From Erha's point of view, he could only see Xu Le with his back to it, moving the phosphate rock into the stone house that was on fire inside, and then there was a clattering grinding sound.
It's like grinding your own claws......
Forget it, I can't understand what the wolf master is doing anyway, Erha is sleepy and Erha wants to sleep......
The huge wolf body lay down together, and the wolf fur buried Lin Xihan holding the green coconut.
Xu Le started a fire in a ventilated furnace and smelted iron ore.
At the same time, a tubular structure with one side of the seal is carved out on a mold, and after the molten iron melts, it is poured into the mold and waited for cooling.
Together, there is an iron disc-shaped workpiece with a diameter about the same as the inner diameter of the tubular structure, and a ring is erected on one side of the workpiece, which can be used to tie things.
Next, he took a large concave stone and used the tip of an iron pickaxe to continue to cut deep grooves to form a mortar-like structure.
The phosphate rock was smashed into the ground by him, becoming particles the size of his finger's belly, and then thrown into the mortar.
Then use a rough stone section as a stone pestle, and continue to mash and grind the phosphate rock in the stone mortar to become fine small particles.
The phosphate rock particles are then mixed with fine sand and ground charcoal powder.

Barrage in the live broadcast roomββ
"Big Brother Xu Le...... Is this to smelt phosphate rock?"
"This is a quick forward to modern industry...... How do you smelt phosphate rock? Shouldn't that be a huge production line?"
"There must be a local method!"
"Since Big Brother Xu Le has already started smelting, it is definitely not impossible. β
"Anyway...... Shouldn't the first phosphate rock be white phosphorus? That thing is highly poisonous!"
"The lethal amount of white phosphorus is calculated in milligrams, and it can spontaneously ignite at more than forty degrees!"
"The temperature on the island must be hovering around 40 degrees...... Isn't that big guy Xu Le going to take the risk of doing it for nothing to process white phosphorus?"
"If you're not careful, you're likely to be poisoned or burned to death......
"Come to think of it, the incendiary bomb made of white phosphorus seems to be a weapon absolutely prohibited in international conventions!"
"Well, I think I've seen reports, it's terrifying......"
"If you don't want to be a big guy, let's stop tossing phosphate rock, right? If you want to fertilize the field, won't you let Bajie live on the edge of the field?
"That's right, the wolves listen to Xu Le's words like this, they must work hard, they can eat and pull, isn't this more reliable than using phosphorus to process fertile fields?"
"It's useless for us to worry here, Boss Xu Le can't see the barrage......"
"The hairs are standing up, the masters are in the people, and the mistakes are in the underworld...... The danger is so high that there is almost no room for error!"
β......β
In the live broadcast room, he was still worried, but Xu Le was still fearless.
Carefully grinding and mixing everything in the stone mortar, an iron pipe and an iron disc with a pull ring just cast have completed the initial cooling.
Break the mold and cool down with water!
Woola!
White smoke rises!
After the two workpieces are cooled, the iron plate can be placed into the iron pipe just right.
Xu Le wrapped another circle of stock rubber around the edge of the iron plate.
In this way, the contact surface of the iron disc and the iron pipe wall can be completely killed under the action of rubber.
The mixture of phosphate rock powder, fine sand, and charcoal powder is poured into the iron pipe, and then the iron plate is constantly pushed and pulled to pull out a vacuum!
Then, Xu Le poured molten iron into the joints of the iron plate and the iron pipe, cooled it, and completely sealed it!
Calcined over fire!
