Chapter 37: The Iron-Making Plan

"You mean the metal in your mouth is extremely sharp?"

"That's right!"

Sensing Zhan You's confusion, Ye Tian hurriedly continued to explain.

"As long as you follow my method and refine the iron, the life of the entire tribe will be turned upside down by then!

Not only is it the improvement of people's living standards, but if you use it to make weapons, you can keep the Zhan clan stable for decades! ”

"What!"

Zhan You was obviously more sad about the safety of the tribe than about improving his life.

The fish took the bait......

"Do you see my dagger? He's not made of stone, it's called Jinggang.

You've seen the hardness of this thing, so I don't need to say much about the effect. Although we made it a little worse than him, the effect was the same! ”

Ye Tian's trick to draw a big cake aroused Zhan You's great interest, and when he heard that he was originally sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai here, he also stood up excitedly.

"Good! I'll assign you a manpower right away! ”

Looking at Zhan You's happy look, Ye Tian also let go of the last doubt in his heart at this time and continued.

"Patriarch, there is no free lunch in the world, if I practice it, how about we open it in five or five if we produce it?"

"No problem!"

I have to say that Zhan You is a very wise monarch, after understanding the huge benefits contained in this, there is almost no mud and water, and dozens of people have been assigned to Ye Tian's men.

You know, this is the busiest time to collect food after the stagnation period!

Ye Tian, who had manpower and materials, did not start collecting iron ore in a hurry, but began to make his next calculation.

Iron smelting is not a simple matter, especially in this almost blank situation, Ye Tian has to pay more attention to details.

There are four steps in iron making:

Furnace building, mineral processing, smelting, forging.

The first two problems have been perfectly solved by virtue of Ye Tian's previous experience and the current situation, so the focus is on the last two.

This melting is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to implement. It is important to know that in the whole process of ironmaking, air blasting is the most important part of it.

Once the temperature is not enough, all the previous actions will basically be in vain!

And for this reason, Ye Tian also chose the most simple and crude method.

That is to use manpower to fan the flames incessantly!

Twenty people are divided into four groups, alternating day and night, as long as you don't slack off, you will be able to achieve the desired results!

Forging is the same thing, there is no technology, manpower to make up!

Just do it, Ye Tian, who has a strong passion, also burst out with huge energy, and under the temptation of huge interests, dozens of men have already started their own boring work.

Three days later.

"My lord, a new batch of charcoal has been made, look at it!"

Flipping the charcoal, which was more neatly shaped and lighter, Ye Tian also nodded with satisfaction.

The hands-on ability of the people on this island is really not to be said!

"Your Excellency?"

"Alright, you go down, tell the group of people who go to blow the wind must work hard, and the food and meat are all enough!"

Seeing the figure holding the charcoal and gradually moving away, Ye Tian also felt full of energy, and walked directly to the temporary smelting place at the foot of the mountain range.

Zhan Sheng, the stall owner who was now forcibly promoted by Ye Tian to become the team leader, has successfully completed his transformation these days, looking at the figure running around and commanding, Ye Tian also clapped his hands.

"Your Excellency, you're here!"

Zhan Tian, whose face was full of swar, smiled slightly at this time, revealing the white teeth with a very strong contrast, which made Ye Tian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You kid is doing well these days, how is the fire burning there?"

As soon as he heard Ye Tian's question, Zhan Sheng's face became confident, and he spoke eloquently.

"Your Excellency, you're really a god, and the effect of using that charcoal is much better than roasting it directly over the fire!

More than a dozen people kept fanning the wind in turn, which made the temperature reach a very terrifying level! The grass around is scorched! ”

Zhan Sheng, whose eyebrows were fluttering, obviously reassured Ye Tian a lot, patted him on the shoulder, and Ye Tian continued to ask.

"Excellent! How long is it until I request time? ”

"It's going to be midnight today! Do you want to come and see it, my lord? ”

"Nonsense!"

The anxious half of the day passed in Ye Tian's restless waiting, if it weren't for the little girl Ke'er who had been staying here, I am afraid that Ye Tian would have to go up the tree and scratch the wall.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was midnight in a blink of an eye.

"Burn!"

With Ye Tian's order, the workers who had been waiting for a long time opened the valve in unison.

Puff puff......

The fiery red molten slurry made a sound of air explosion at the moment it touched the air, and the bright color was particularly dazzling in the dark night sky, making the surrounding workers completely stunned.

"Don't be stunned, do what I ask!"

"Yes!"

Kicking Zhan Sheng hard, Ye Tian also quickly walked to the stove.

"The viscosity is enough, then it's up to the next forging!"

I don't know if it's due to the high magnetite content or some other reason, the color of this batch of molten slurry is quite beautiful.

Although the workers had no similar experience before, they were also very hard working under Ye Tian's explanation.

Listening to the sound that gradually became sonorous, Ye Tian's eyes were even more locked on the pair of red objects on the stone slab.

Knock knock!

The sound grew muffled over the two-hour thrashing, and the color on the fiery iron faded and turned gray and black.

Wait a minute...... Wait a little longer......

"Water!"

With a loud roar, Zhan Sheng, who had been waiting for a long time, directly poured the water in the wooden barrel into it.

Hiss~

Pushing away those workers who were already tired and sweaty, Ye Tian ignored the residual heat on it, and picked up the iron that had been hammered into long strips.

If nothing else, the weight is good!

Gently stroking the surface that was still obviously a little rough, Ye Tian stabbed the long strip into the wooden barrel below.

Not bad!

Although the notch on the barrel was not neat, whether it was the strength coming from his hands or the degree of bending of the iron at that moment, it had completely reached Ye Tian's expectations.

This time it was an absolute success!

"Alright, now everyone can rest! Tomorrow morning, I will return to the clan and bring you to eat and drink spicy food! ”

And just when Ye Tian was ecstatic, Zhan on the side came up.

"My lord, what is incense? What is Spicy? ”
