After leaving Elwei's house, Duge left the tribe and walked towards the high-temperature furnace that sat outside the tribe. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He had been back for five or six days, and in addition to his daily rounds of maintaining the factory and training the future queens, he had also put the warehouse in order. All the resources are sorted and put together, and what should be allocated is allocated.

Just yesterday, the pangolin tribe sent a shipment of iron ore.

Some time ago, the gray wolf clan of Mo and their gray wolves had been continuously sent to the coal mine, and a warehouse had been piled up. In addition to coal mines, there are animal skins and salt, and some rare daily necessities. The fox clan couldn't afford to pay for these things for the time being, but they only chose to keep accounts.

"You use it first, and the ledger will talk about it later. ”

This is the paper that ink is mixed with the things that the transport team delivers.

Du Ge smiled and put away the note, accepting the kindness of the wolf clan.

Out of the tribe, Du Ge who walked on the road looked left and right. Under the scorching sun, some dazzling sunlight makes people really can't open their eyes. Usually the children who chase and frolic hide in the shadow of the trees.

Only the peasants in the fields, wearing straw hats, worked diligently.

Du Ge searched around, especially on the children who were enjoying the shade under the trees, looking for the little gray figure.

He's looking for little Yura, the kid who gave him a wreath.

Since his return, he has been in and out of the tribe many times. Little Yura, whom I had often met on the road in the past, did not meet her once after returning this time. As time passed, Duge became worried.

Did something happen to her?

In the base camp of the Silverblood Tribe, according to common sense, there is no danger to encounter.

So why didn't she come?

Duge's worries became more and more serious, and he also made a special trip to bring the little guy a gift by the sea. But she didn't show up. Walking under the ancient honeysuckle tree, he no longer saw the small gray figure, and Du Ge couldn't hold back any longer.

He walked up to a group of children who were catching insects in the shade, crouched down and asked them.

"Have any of you seen little Yura?"

Seeing the royal family coming, these ordinary children became nervous. But it didn't take long for someone to recognize Watara. A little over a month ago, the kind big brother who played with little Yura.

A girl who looked to be 3 or 4 years old, with a slurred child's voice, replied:

"Sister Yura, I've been chosen. ”

"Who chose it?"

"Those priests, they said that Sister Yura was so powerful, and they were taken away. ”

"Do you know where she was taken?"

"Of course it's a temple, don't all the sacrifices live there?" they are so strict that Sister Jura can't come out to play with us...... "The little girl said at last, rising up with her little mouth and waving her little arms.

"That's right, thank you. ”

Du Ge smiled and touched the little girl's little head, who squinted his big eyes and looked very happy. After politely rejecting the little girl's request to play with her, Duge got up and left.

After learning of little Yura's whereabouts, Wataru breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party did not encounter any danger, but encountered a good thing. It is likely that she was found to have excellent sacrificial talents, and was taken away by the people of the temple for training.

Duge didn't know anything about the sacrifice, but he knew that the training management was quite strict. It can be seen that the fox clan sacrifice is powerful, not only because of its talent. There's still a lot of post-work to be done.

"It's chosen as a sacrifice, that's fine. ”

Du Ge smiled, turned to look at the ancient silver flower tree, and couldn't help but think of the scene a month ago, when little Yura under the tree personally brought a garland for him.

"Come on, little Yura. ”

Following the winding road, Duge came to the high-temperature kiln next to the laboratory. There are already a lot of people concentrated there, and at the same time a lot of material is piled up.

The half-human, half-mechanical Magician walked up to Toka and reported to him in a strange voice:

"Report to the chief, the adiabatic magic pattern has been drawn, the magic pattern is 96% complete, and the estimated use efficiency is 99%, which has reached the use standard. ”

Du Ge nodded and walked into the kiln to check it out himself.

This large-scale high-temperature kiln has been specially renovated for ironmaking, and the inner walls of those gray porous stones have been printed with complex black and purple ** patterns. Several apprentices were studying the patterns drawn by the robot, and when they saw that Duge was coming, they saluted and gave way.

When Du Ge looked at those magic patterns, the system's prompt popped up all of a sudden, the data stream rotated rapidly, and the 3D stereoscopic map of the kiln emerged, which was comprehensively analyzed to Du Ge.

Du Ge just took a brief look at it and didn't study it in depth.

After confirming that everything was correct, Wataru nodded, ready to officially start his ironmaking plan.

And it all began, first of all, the basic raw materials for making iron: coke and limestone.

Coke is made by heating coal to 950-1050 °C under the condition of air isolation, and finally making it through the stages of drying, pyrolysis, melting, bonding, solidification, and shrinkage, which is called high-temperature coking. The carbon element in it is an important reducing agent for ironmaking.

The coal sent by the wolf clan was abundant, and Du Ge directly filled the furnace, closed all the pores, and ordered the workers to start heating it.

Three workers in special hazmat suits (redeemed by the system) lit the kiln and began to heat it up.

Others pushed aside to be on the safe side. At temperatures above 1000 degrees, the invisible heat radiation can be deadly and can be easily harmed without any protection.

The blower is connected to the water wheel, and under the power provided by the water flow, the air is continuously blown into the kiln, accelerating the combustion, and the temperature of the kiln is rapidly rising.

Through systematic investigation, Duge can clearly know the situation of coal in the kiln.

While directing the workers to control the temperature, Duge ordered another part of the people to prepare limestone powder.

As for the source of limestone, this type of stone, which contains calcium carbonate, is very common in nature and can be found almost everywhere. After they are fired, they can be made into lime, which can be used as one of the raw materials for cement. The main function in ironmaking is to combine with magazines that cannot be reduced to form slag discharge.

The first day was spent making raw materials, firing coke and grinding limestone.

In the evening, the iron ore, coke, and limestone particles are arranged in proportion.

After a tiring day, Duge also let the workers rest, and the next day officially started ironmaking.

The configured raw material is injected from the kiln opening, and the blower is connected to the two air vents. One is responsible for supplying air to the heating furnace below, and the other is to supply air to the ironmaking blast furnace.

Duge monitors the temperature precisely through system monitoring.

Inside the kiln, coke reacts with oxygen to form carbon monoxide, which in turn oxidizes iron ore. After a series of cumbersome reactions, red molten iron flowed out of the iron mouth, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly erupted in cheers.

As time passed, the molten iron continued to flow out, filling the molds one by one, until the raw materials were burned, and Duge ordered the heating to stop.

After a long period of natural cooling, Duge picked up a heavy dirt mold and shattered it.

When the boxy iron ingot appeared in everyone's view, the cheers resounded throughout the laboratory again.
