The fire is blazing.

The capacity of the ventilated furnace is limited, the amount of molten iron in a furnace is only a few kilograms, and a pile of slag has to be removed.

After the slag is cleaned, the ventilation holes are filled, and the smelting is restarted.

In this process, the molten iron has been injected into the mold and cast into whatever shape is required.

When the furnace is filled, the molten iron is initially set, the demoulding begins to be tempered, and more iron ore can continue to be smelted in the furnace.

When Xu Le struck iron alone, he would probably not smelt the second furnace of iron ore, and he would be finished with the tools at hand.

As a result, the ventilation furnace is empty, the mold is idle, and the anvil, hammer, and pliers are idle.

It's a waste, Xu Le feels distressed, but there is no way.

Orangutans complete this assembly line perfectly.

Production tools are only valuable if they are moving!

Xu Le divided the orangutans into four groups.

The first group transports and smashes the iron ore to make the ore particles smaller and more fragmented, reducing the time required for smelting.

Occasionally, unnecessary stones are mixed into the crushed ore, and they have to be picked out and thrown away, which can be regarded as wiping the butts of Bajie and Djinn who are not serious about mining.

This is the stock group.

The second group feeds, watches the fire, and waits until the smelting is completed, and then takes out the slag, separates the iron slag and remelts it.

The work of filling the ventilation furnace is also dry for this group of orangutans.

This is the melting and maintenance group.

The third group is injected with molten iron, the mold is opened, and then the iron billet is beaten and formed, which is the engineering group.

The last group served tea, poured water and peeled bananas, and waited for the working masters.

This is the logistics group.

The four groups of orangutans have a clear division of labor and clear responsibilities, and Xu Le praised his management ability.

Look, I'm not an unscrupulous black-hearted boss, there is a female orangutan as a comforter in the logistics team, a dragon who rubs his shoulders and beats his back, and is very extravagant.

He taught Blackstar the whole process, and then put Blackstar in charge of overseeing the work, and he only did the bare minimum of some guidance himself.

It was easy to prepare and do, but when the molten iron was cast, the hot air made the orangutan holding the pliers shiver.

Animals are afraid of fire, which is also nature.

Black Star slapped it over, and the trembling orangutan burst into tears, honestly took out the jar of molten iron and poured it into the mold.

In this way, the red haired gorilla when he was young was much more intimidating than his fire-fearing nature.

After that, it is demoulding and forging.

Jingle bell ding, ding, ding.

To Xu Le's surprise, the orangutans, who had great strength, were full of interest in beating the iron, and they hammered it down with all their strength, and the red-hot iron ingots were deformed.

One orangutan holds the pincers, and the other two take turns hammering, not giving the ingot any respite.

Isn't that good...... Boss Xu gave them a 70 points for their work, but there was no promotion or salary increase.

Simple hammering, a flat anvil forged into shape.

An orangutan from the engineering team erected a stake and fastened an anvil to it, which was the second workbench in the workshop.

Continue to ask the orangutans to repeat the process just now, and the hammer is produced.

Repeat again to obtain Iron Pincers X1.

This also means that there are now two sets of independent basic iron-striking tools in the workshop.

As long as the timing of the furnace melting is staggered, the two lines can work in parallel.

EFFICIENCY X2.

If you include shift breaks, this multiplier will go up.

And after the forging of this set of tools, the orangutans have all become skilled workers, and they cooperate tacitly.

It is one of the few species with the highest IQ other than humans.

Most of the tools don't need to be forged, and the orangutans can handle it completely.

New hammers, axes, even knives, and more.

And a sharp weapon like a hundred horizontal knives that need to be stacked repeatedly, or a skillful part such as a thunderbolt pipe, or the heart of a steam engine......

These still have to be done by themselves.

Even the Black Star who has been [enlightened] can't handle too complicated operations, let alone just a group of ordinary orangutans.

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"Is it the wrong way for me to open the desert island to survive? Why did it suddenly become a desert island building?"

"The efficiency is even higher than Xu Shen's own, at this rate, in a few days, the iron tools will be able to be used. ”

"I can see that Xu Shen is definitely not just satisfied with a full year, Xu Shen is the rhythm of building a city on the ground!"

"Other players can't catch up with the horses. ”

“......”

Half an afternoon passed, and a lot of newly made equipment was piled up outside the workshop, and the amount of iron ore was visibly reduced to the naked eye.

If it weren't for the limited amount of furnaces that can be smelted at one time, iron ore would have been gone long ago.

However, Xu Le is not in a hurry to expand, the tools are enough, the yard is so big, and the expansion of the workshop will inevitably affect other spaces.

The four groups of orangutans alternated shifts, and they worked for so long before they showed a little fatigue.

This is also because of the ginseng soup at noon, and the ability of the century-old wild ginseng to stimulate qi and blood is extraordinary.

Blackstar instructed the orangutans to pack up their tools.

The tools for striking iron are placed in the corresponding places in the workshop by category.

Iron picks and saws need to be transported to the field and placed under the small wooden shed, so that they can be easily used when working.

It's piled up in the corner for the time being.

In the end, there was some iron slag left, which was not used up with the making tools.

Xu Le thought about it and instructed the orangutan to put the iron slag back into the ventilation furnace.

Smelting!

"So many things were typed out so quickly...... "Lin Xihan's exclamation came from behind Xu Le's head.

She still goes to collect plants in the afternoon.

The collection of roots, stems and leaves is left to the wolves, and she is only responsible for the collection of fruits.

As she spoke, she came back from the woods, and was so shocked that she almost threw out half of the fruit in her hand when she saw the tools in the workshop.

When did orangutans become so tamable......

Meng Yiyi is not surprised at all, she can accept all the magical things Xu Le does, and her thighs are falling!

Xu Le checked a newly forged iron hammer, the hammer head of the hammer was wild, not as fine as the one he made by himself, but it was no different from using it.

Turning his head and seeing Lin Xihan coming back, he swung the hammer a few times and said, "Yes, the Black Star clan is quite reliable. What tools do you want, I'll forge them. ”

Can you already customize it...... Lin Xihan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Well, why don't you help me beat a handful of small willow leaves." ”

What is a willow leaf...... Xu Le waited for Lin Xihan to continue explaining.

She took a wooden skewer and wrote and drew on the ground.

"It's a type of short dagger, curved, with a sharp edge on the inside of a curved blade. ”

"Like a fingered tiger?" Xu Le asked, looking at the shape she had drawn.

No, you're not a tool, are you...... It's enough for you to wipe your neck!

How can you use this weapon on this desert island...... Tsundere blame you for calming down.

Lin Xihan felt that Xu Le was looking at him, and met his gaze and asked, "What's wrong, can't you do it?"

"You can do it......" Xu Le grinned, "What are you going to do with it?"

"Fruit picking. Lin Xihan stared back, and by the way, he raised a half-eaten wild fig in his hand.

The skin of wild figs is yellow-brown in color, full of juice, pure and sweet in taste, not sour or astringent, and it is the best in the fruit.

"If you don't have the tools at hand, it's inconvenient to cut the vines of wild fruits. ”

She looked at the wild figs she had in hand, took out another one from the small pocket of her belt, and handed it to Xu Le: "Taste it?"

Wow, it's not a murder weapon that cuts people's arteries...... Xu Le was surprised, but he didn't pick up the figs.

He held the hammer in one hand and the iron pliers in the other, and neither hand was idle.

Lin Xihan wrinkled his nose and peeled off the wild fruit skin: "Open your mouth." ”

Xu Le: "Ah...... It's pretty sweet. ”

"You little willow leaf, the orangutan shouldn't be able to do it, I'll help you fight. ”

As he spoke, he continued to add iron slag to the clay pots in the ventilated furnace to smelt the molten iron.

Lin Xihan kept tilting his head and watching his movements.

After Xu Le filled up the iron slag, she wondered: "To make a knife, do you need to use so much iron?"

"It doesn't take so much. Xu Le shook his head, chewed a fig in his mouth, and replied vaguely, "This is not for you." ”

"Eh, I haven't finished my figs yet......"
