The molten iron finally cooled, and Zhao Hao carefully poured it out of the thick clay pot, as if it was a rare treasure inside.

Of course, the reason why he was so careful was not because he was afraid of breaking the iron lump inside, but because he was afraid of breaking the thick clay pot outside.

This is the place where the Black Stone Department burns pottery, at this time, Cangwu is digging a hole here with thousands of strong, Zhao Hao's actions have naturally attracted the attention of many people, including Ah Yun and Ah Yue, everyone is curious, what kind of treasure did they make on this day?

When a strange-shaped iron lump appeared in front of everyone, almost everyone was stunned, but Zhao Hao was dancing excitedly.

This!

What kind of treasure is this?

Everyone really can't see what is rare about this thing, but Zhao Hao held it in his hand and touched it, looked at it and looked at it, it was really like a baby.

Is the leader sick on this day?

Cang Wu couldn't help but step forward and asked, "What is the use of this thing?" ”

This thing, of course, is useless!

Just kidding, what good can an iron lump be.

Pig iron, that has to be made into various utensils to be useful!

Zhao Hao shook his head without hesitation and said, "This thing is useless." ”

When Cang Wu heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

You said that you have spent the past few days to come up with such a useless thing, and you are still so happy, are you really sick!

Zhao Hao didn't bother to explain to Cangwu, because ironmaking is not explained to the people of this era at all, it is still the old way, as long as they make things, they will understand.

So, how is this pig iron processed?

In these years, there is no machining center, and the only way to process pig iron into various utensils is to use the most primitive method, that is, to smash it with a hammer!

This method has a well-known name, that is, "striking iron".

However, if you want to strike iron, you can't do it without a hammer.

Moreover, it is not enough to have a hammer, because the pig iron has to be burned red before it can be processed, and the hot iron lump cannot be held by hand, and it has to be clamped with a clip.

This one is a bit more troublesome, like the chicken-and-egg problem.

How can you lay eggs without chickens?

If there are no eggs, how can chickens hatch?

In the same way, how can a hammer and a clamp be made without a hammer and a clamp?

Zhao Hao thought about this question for a long time, and in the end, he could only use wood to sharpen a hammer thicker than a thigh and a pair of long chopsticks thicker than a finger.

Of course, this wooden hammer is not used to strike iron, and this wooden chopsticks cannot be used to hold hot iron lumps.

These two things are just molds.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, he found two large pieces of clay, and processed them a little with divine weapons, roughly processing them into large squares, and then he embedded the wooden hammer head into one square until the wooden hammer head was completely embedded in the clay, and then he carefully pulled out the wooden hammer head, and then he inserted the wooden chopsticks into another clay block, and then pulled it out again.

This simple clay mold is ready, just dry it and set aside.

By the afternoon, when the clay mold was almost dry, he began to burn the molten iron again.

This time, he not only added dozens of catties of iron ore to the coal, but also threw the iron lumps that he fired yesterday into it.

After a burst of fire, the molten iron slowly flowed out of the furnace, Zhao Hao did not use a thick clay pot to pick it up, directly pushed the sun-dried hammer mold in, and when the hammer mold was almost full, he pushed the chopsticks mold in, and after a busy afternoon, the two molds were finally full, but he did not take out the contents inside, because the molten iron still needs to be cooled, and if it is taken out immediately, it will definitely be deformed.

Cangwu and the thousands of elites of the Black Stone Department watched him work for a day, originally, they thought they would see some miracle, but they didn't expect that this goods, after burning the molten iron, went back directly to rest, leaving two clay cubes there, not letting people move.

What the hell is this treasure?

Although everyone was curious, they didn't move the two big squares, because Zhao Hao's fierceness had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This thing is the master who kills people at every turn, who dares to provoke him!

Early in the morning of the fifth day, Zhao Hao finally came to reveal the answer.

The method he used was very simple and fast, and in the amazed eyes of everyone, he directly lifted the clay mold with the hammer head and threw it to the ground, "poof", the clay mold was torn apart, and a hammer head thicker than a thigh appeared in front of everyone.

As for the clay mold of the long chopsticks, he didn't move it.

Of course, he didn't want to leave everyone with any suspense, the main thing was that the iron chopsticks were too long, and he was afraid that he would break them directly.

After the hammer came out, he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

How so?

When it comes to strength and hardness, this thing is certainly not very good, and the only advantage of this hammer head is the weight.

The average hammer head is about a dozen catties, and the hammer head he made is at least forty or fifty catties!

As for whether it can be used to strike iron, you have to try it to know.

When everyone saw that he was holding a square lump that looked like a clay brick and studied it, their curiosity rose again.

Could it be that the leader of this day wants to make another kind of clay brick?

Otherwise, what's the use of this thing?

The answer was soon revealed, because Zhao Hao brought a very hard wooden stick when he came, he roughly took the square hole in the middle of the hammer and compared it, and then took out the divine soldier to cut the front end of the wooden stick, and then he stuffed the wooden stick into the hammer, and a hammer was born.

To be exact, it's a big sledgehammer, a big scary sledgehammer.

He picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it directly on a half-human-high boulder, and with a "boom", the boulder was directly torn apart, and the hammer seemed to have nothing to do.

At this moment, everyone seemed to understand that the Heavenly Leader had created a weapon.

The power of this weapon is really amazing, even a half-human-high boulder can be smashed open, if this is smashed on someone, the consequences are unimaginable!

As soon as this hammer came out, it could be said to be an earth-shattering shock.

However, Zhao Hao did not stop to appreciate the effect of the hammer, he directly carried the hammer to the clay mold of the iron chopsticks and knocked it carefully a few times, the clay mold quickly fell apart, and the iron chopsticks inside naturally fell out.

This iron chopsticks, how to say it, ordinary people holding it, they must not be able to hold more than a dozen catties or even dozens of catties of iron lumps.

However, for a person like him with more than 10,000 catties of strength, even if it is a few hundred catties or even thousands of catties of iron lumps, he can easily clamp them up.

The guy who strikes iron is finally ready, and next, can you just build things?

He stood there with his hammer and thought about it, and suddenly realized that there was something missing!

This thing is the platform for striking iron.

Well, he could only find another large piece of clay, roughly make it look like an iron platform, and then bring in a pile of coal and a pile of iron ore, and burn it vigorously.
