As the sun shines down, the scorching temperature rises.

The heat makes it easy to imagine the world as a furnace, and people are ore or something like that that is tormented in the furnace.

Some people with more developed imagination will even be full of worries about whether they and others will be like the ore in the furnace, scorched and melted by such a temperature......

Under the shade of a tree, Han Youli, who was sweating profusely, was busy here.

His body was already soaked with sweat, but his movements did not hesitate for a minute, and he was still busy quickly.

In the midst of his busyness, a clay stove with a diameter of about a meter and a height of more than a meter was made.

After making it done, Han Youli didn't rest for a while, so he went to the side and brought over a lot of firewood and grass, and put it in the newly made clay stove and lit it.

This is to dry it as quickly as possible before it can be put into use.

After lighting the fire, adding enough firewood, and making sure that it would not be extinguished in a short time, Han Youli hurriedly walked all the way under the sun and came to the large pile of coal piled up there.

He picked up a copper shovel that had been placed here and began shoveling coal into a wheelbarrow.

After shoveling it twice, Han Youli stopped his movements again.

He stood here and thought for a moment, then regained the coal he had just loaded into the trolley.

Then he put the shovel aside, and no longer shoveled with the shovel, but directly began to load the wheelbarrow with his hands.

He chose the larger ones.

This is also the biggest reason why he abandoned the copper shovel and switched to direct loading by hand.

With a copper shovel, even if it is deliberately controlled, there will still be fine coal that will be shoveled up and loaded onto the car.

And if you put it by hand, you don't have to worry about this problem at all.

The weather is hot and the sun is scorching.

These coals have been exposed to the sun for a long time, plus these guys are black, the black is extraordinarily pure, and the heat absorption is particularly good, all of which are hot to the touch.

Even if there is a thick layer of calluses on Han Youli's hands, he can still feel the scorching temperature.

But he didn't stop, on the contrary, he got faster, and as soon as the large piece of coal reached his hand, he carried it and threw it into the trolley.

In a few moments, the trolley was filled with coal.

Han Youli, who had black hands, held the handlebars of the trolley with his hands, and trotted all the way to the place where he made the stove just now.

When he came here, the fire in the stove had become much smaller, and Han Youli didn't dare to stop, so he hurriedly put down the trolley and added firewood to it.

It wasn't until after adding the firewood that he couldn't help but let out a long breath, took the water hyacinth on the side, pulled out the stopper, and poured a large amount of water.

He had been busy until this point, and he was finally able to sit down and rest for a while.

There is a reason why Han Youli does things like this.

Of course, the most important thing is to verify the idea in his heart as soon as possible, and strive to make the iron smelting technology in the tribe to a higher level as soon as possible.

Able to make better iron and iron utensils faster.

The second is to be grateful and moved by the previous arrangement of the second senior brother.

After learning his thoughts, the second senior brother, who is now the largest person in charge of the Iron Mountain Residential Area, not only did not ridicule or reprimand himself, but directly gave himself a vacation, so that he could not do what he was doing before, and he could verify his thoughts with peace of mind.

Such an arrangement and treatment made Han Youli particularly excited.

It's a thrill of being trusted and recognized.

So he kept holding back his strength.

That's to verify your idea as quickly as possible!

It doesn't matter if the result is good or bad.

After verifying it, I will be able to continue to do my previous work and be able to do it with as little delay as possible.

With this thought in his heart, Han Youli sat here and rested for a while, and after seeing that the fire in the simple stove had become less vigorous, he stood up again and added firewood to it.

After adding firewood and grass, he did not continue to rest, but picked up the copper shovel beside him and began to dig the soil, and after digging for a while, he carried the clay pot to a distance and brought back two jars of water, poured it on the shoveled soil and began to make mud.

By the time he had reconciled the mud, the firewood in the clay stove was almost burning.

Han Youli felt it, and after feeling that the inside of the mud stove was already relatively hard and enough, he didn't continue to add firewood to it.

Standing here and waiting for a while, until the fire was completely extinguished, after thinking about it, Han Youli used a copper shovel to shovel out the coals inside the furnace and put them aside.

Then he began to pick up the coal blocks that he had pushed with the trolley by hand and placed them inside one by one.

After the arrangement was full, Han Youli began to dig up the reconciled mud and seal the top of the stove.

Only at the very top position, a hole about the size of the mouth of the bowl is left.

After doing this, he took a deep breath, and burned some branches with the coals that he had just shoveled out, which had not yet been completely extinguished, and sent them through the gap at the very top into the sealed tandoor.

Compared to firewood, coal itself is not easy to ignite, let alone ignite under such circumstances.

Han Youli tossed back and forth here for nearly half an hour before he finally ignited it.

After burning it, Han Youli paused here for a moment, then turned around and returned to the vicinity of the tribal kitchen.

First wash your hands, feet and face with water, then go to the clay jar placed in the shade of the tree, lift the lid on it, scoop up a scoop of water that has been cooled and boiled with lotus leaves, and drink it, and then fill the water hyacinth with which he was carrying a gourd of water, and after closing the lid of the gourd, he left here and returned to the place where the stove was.

Smoke rises from the top of the stove, and sometimes the color of the smoke is yellowish.

Along with it, there are some more unpleasant smells.

Han Youli came here, put the gourd he was holding aside, and began to inspect the burning of coal in the furnace.

When you see the flame in the hole at the top, lie on the ground and look at the holes left around the ground under the stove to see if there is a flame burning in the holes.

Before the flames burned to these places, Han Youli sat down against the tree and waited quietly here.

That's what he had in mind.

The method used is also the simplest means of charcoal burning in the tribe.

The source of his ideas and inspiration was very simple - ordinary wood could not be used to smelt iron and copper, and the temperature was not enough, but after some means were made into charcoal, he could do these things that he could not do before.

Coal itself is very easy to use, before these things, the performance has even surpassed charcoal, so if you also use this method, after the coal is also used once, will the coal be like wood, become more usable?

When coal becomes easier to use, can it be used to smelt iron a lot faster?

Han Youli sat here thinking about these things, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to know the outcome of this matter.

He wanted to verify that this thing was really what he thought!

After a while, Han Youli got up from the ground again, came to the stove, and lay on the ground to inspect.

The flame still didn't burn down.

Although he felt extremely anxious in his heart, he still had to wait patiently here.

"Do you think he can make something good?"

"Who knows, he's done that many times before......"

"How is this possible, he is not a son of God, he is not one of those smart people in the tribe, he is just a person like us, and he doesn't have that brain at all......"

"Burning coal with charcoal, that's what he came up with? This guy wants to be famous, he wants to be crazy, coal is coal, not wood......"

At a certain distance from Han Youli, someone couldn't help but open his mouth like this, whispering, and pointing at Han Youli, who was busy.

The words were full of disapproval of Han Youli's behavior that was different from them and others, and there were sarcasm and the like.

In their cognition, people should do their duty, and people like them should do the same or similar things as them, and they should not do things that are unrealistic or fundamentally different from all of them.

Such people, as well as such a mentality, are not lacking in any era.

Han Youli didn't know about these things, but he had felt some of them these days.

This makes him sometimes can't help but hold back a little, but his love for some things still makes him ignore these people and continue to work hard towards what he wants to do.

When the sun was in the west, while Han Youli was waiting expectantly, the fire finally spread from above.

He lay on the ground and watched carefully, and when he found a hole that had become red and could see the fire inside, he would seal the hole with a large ball of mud, and make it seamless.

It took about half an hour for him to close the holes one by one.

After plugging the hole at the top of the stove, Han Youli sat here and watched the furnace in front of him, or something that could be called a kiln, look excited and apprehensive in his heart.

Full of reverence, but also looking uneasy.

But it must be successful!

He secretly clenched his fists and thought to himself.

If he doesn't succeed, he will live up to the second senior brother's intentions.

Moreover, those who often work with themselves should laugh at themselves and talk about themselves......

Little by little, the night gradually fell.

Because of the particularity of the work in the Tieshan residential area, there are still people in many places who continue to work under the light of the lights at night.

But the people who work at this time are no longer the ones who work during the day.

These people have been replaced by this time.

Many people came to Han Youli's place.

In addition to the second senior brother, there are also those people who Han Youli doesn't want to see and work with him.

Because these people are fine, they always like to point out and laugh at him about what he likes to do.

However, because the second senior brother, the administrator of the Tieshan residential area, was here this time, these people didn't say anything bad this time.

But there were too many of them, as well as some inadvertent expressions, which still made Han Youli feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable in his heart.

"You can open it and take a look."

After a while, Han Youli secretly gritted his teeth, squeezed all the distracting thoughts in his heart to the side, and said like this.

Whether you succeed or not, you always have to see the result, even if you can't see it today, you have to see it tomorrow.

These people should say something nasty, they should laugh at themselves, they should laugh at themselves, they should laugh at themselves.

"Then open it and take a look."

The second senior brother on the side also said with a smile.

Seeing this, the hesitation in Han Youli's heart disappeared.

He took a long and secret breath, stepped over to the sealed stove, and used a copper shovel to knock open the upper layer of the kiln and push it aside.

As the sound of things falling to the ground, the whole small kiln also opened.

The second senior brother brought the torch in his hand to the edge of the cracked kiln to see the situation inside.

I saw that the kiln was originally full, and at this time a lot of things in it disappeared, and only about three-quarters were left.

The color hasn't changed much, it's still pitch black.

There are some places where there is some floating ash.

Just seeing such a scene, Han Youli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The thing he feared most was that when he opened the kiln, he would see that the coal that had been put in it would be burned, and only some of the burned cinders remained.

He stretched out his hand to test it, and when he noticed that the coals that had been treated with charcoal were not very hot, he picked up a piece with his hand and picked it up.

As soon as he started it, Han Youli felt the difference between this piece of coal and ordinary coal.

This coal is significantly lighter than the previous coals.

If you look closer, you will find that there are many small holes in the coal.

Han Youli looked at the thing in front of him, and he didn't know if he had made this thing for a while.

After all, he had never done this before, and the people in the tribe had never done this.

The second senior brother also pinched a piece of burned coal with his fingers and looked at it.

"Tomorrow, I'll use this coal to make a furnace of iron and see how it works."

After a while, the second senior brother spoke......
