Chapter 27 27, Forging
Using gold as a pot, I guess no one has ever been so crazy before.
The main reason is that the heat resistance of gold is not as good as that of iron pots, and gold is very expensive, which is undoubtedly a super show of wealth.
But on this isolated desert island, everything depends on picking up, and it would be nice to be able to pick up a piece of gold, which is not as good as iron, but it is better than wood and stone.
If you want to forge an anvil and a hammer, these are not available on a desert island, so you can only use your imagination and make it fresh!
After searching for a long time in the reef pile on the beach, I found two stones, a boxy stone covered with parasitic shells like barnacles, which were very suitable for anvils.
There is also a flat cuboid that can be used as a hammer head, and the hammer handle is used as a tree trunk, which only needs to be thrown all the way on the stone until it splits, and then the long stone is stuck in the crack and then tied with a fishing line.

The stone hammer is really simple, but it can be forged in front of it, and it is perfect for forging soft gold.
There was a clanging bang, and a noisy banging sound echoed across the beach.
Not only Qin Fengyi was not idle, but Lin Qingxue, Wangcai and the combination of the monkey and the cat were not idle.
"Woo woo...... "Wangcai has always been hostile to that creature, mainly because this thing was startled by the monkey cat that fell from the sky when he peed, and he still has a feeling of unclean urine.
That weird monkey cat was held by Wangcai and output, and it already had a psychological shadow, this animal is really a cat!
"Meow Meow ......" monkey cat is around Lin Qingxue, as if seeking refuge.
"Good!" the girl stretched out her delicate little hand and stroked the monkey cat's skull, the guy was squinting with great enjoyment, and a "purring" sound came out of his throat.
Lin Qingxue is a typical cat slave, she has a lot of cats in the villa in the city, although this monkey cat looks weird, but she has always been very honest, and she is actually quite cute just by looking at her face.
"Although you look strange, you are basically the same as a cat, why don't you give you a name?" Lin Qingxue thought for a while, blinked and said, "Just call Xiaoqi!"
A prosperous fortune, a small oddity, can you name it so casually?
Wangcai looked at Qin Fengyi and Lin Qingxue helplessly, these two goods didn't ask for other people's opinions at all, they were too casual.
However, the name Xiaoqi is obviously better than Wangcai......
Ten minutes later......
Qin Fengyi's forging was completed, and the equipment produced was quite sophisticated.

The 5 catties of gold ore were consumed, and some weapons and utensils were made, and after the forging of the gold cauldron was completed, they were thrown on the ground to cool, and they could be used when they cooled.
The texture of the metal is different, and the heat treatment forging process used is also different, such as the hard alloy steel, the forging of this material can not be cooled down with cold water, because its internal density is small, the hardness is high, the viscosity is reduced, and the whole is brittle, so it needs to be placed in the pearl powder (lime) for 2 hours to cool slowly, otherwise there will really be cracks.
The only regret is that there is no hardness, and I don't know if quenching can increase the hardness.
"You really forged the golden pot?" Lin Qingxue squatted on the ground, looking at the purple-gold gold gold cauldron, which could hold about 1.5 liters of water, and the efficiency of using this to boil water must be very fast.
"Well, gold forging is much easier than expected, this thing is too hard. Qin Fengyi looked at the purple-gold machete in his hand, the forged blade was similar to a Miao knife, but because the tools were worn out, the stone hammer and the stone anvil were not smooth enough, and the forged machete was naturally relatively poor, and the verticality was not up to standard at all.
"This iron pot can be used to boil water, right?" Lin Qingxue has been thirsty for a long time, and there are still a few coconuts on the ground, but this thing is a luxury, and it can generally be saved.
"It's a golden cauldron!" Qin Fengyi said with special emphasis as he forged the golden machete.
Making a pot of boiling water out of gold is very exciting to think about, and the poor also experience the life of a rich man.
"Okay, good, golden pot ......" Lin Qingxue set up a simple stove with stones, cleaned the inner surface of the golden pot with fine sand and seawater, and rubbed off some golden sand, but it was also polished.
"This gold is really so soft, can it really make a machete?" Lin Qingxue boiled water and looked at the man who kept talking.
"The forging process is different, and the weapons made are all different, and the gold is indeed soft, and if it is forged according to normal methods, the sharpness may not be guaranteed. "Qin Fengyi is sharpening, planning to make the blade of the machete thicker.
Most of the blades in martial arts novels are extremely thin, and they can even blow their hair and break their hair, or even sharpen iron like clay, which is all nonsense.
A thinner blade can indeed greatly improve sharpness, but it will also become relatively brittle, and the blade is thick and tough, but not sharp.
Just like a fruit knife and an axe, it can gently cut through the fingers, and one can be slightly paused.
After that, Qin Fengyi made a machete with a very thick blade and a very sharp sword, this weapon is good at piercing, and the cutting power is somewhat lacking, but the blade is thick and durable.
After high-temperature baking, cold water is suddenly cooled and quenched, and the machete is completed, which can easily cut off the trunk of the wood, which has reached Qin Fengyi's ideal standard.
"This machete is pretty good!" Lin Qingxue has been observing the forging, and now she has finally waited for the forging to be completed, and she is playing with it in her hand.
"Unfortunately, there are no iron tools, iron is twice as hard as gold, and the hardness of quenching is much higher than that of gold. Qin Fengyi looked at this machete that had been roasted to a purple-gold color, and was still very dissatisfied with the characteristics of gold, after all, it was only a rare metal for ornamentation, and other gold and jade had no value, and it was not as hard as iron.
"Don't think too much, although gold is not easy to use, it is better than coming with bare hands, right?" Lin Qingxue comforted him on the side, and then pointed to everything in the shelter, "We are living quite comfortably now, in fact, it feels good to be assimilated and natural like this!"
There were many wild boars in the sanctuary, as well as fresh water, and a slightly green pineapple, and the days were much better than yesterday, and there was a well-behaved, sensible, beautiful and delicious beauty, which was not to be found in the city.
"It's pretty good, let's ......" Qin Fengyi stopped talking, and after that, he looked at the sky suspiciously.
The two were talking when suddenly a noisy roar sounded, and a black dot appeared in the sky, it was an airplane.
