Rumble!

First, a buffalo-sized bird smashed the smoke and flew out of it, followed by Gong Yuyu, who also sprayed blood and fell out.

Bang!

Gong Yu Xing fell to the ground, rolled a few more times, his chest was sunken in a large area, and only one breath remained, obviously unable to live.

"I'm fine!"

Xia Ye walked out and coughed twice, his body was not injured, but his clothes were blown up and tattered, if it wasn't for absolute defense, even if he didn't die this time, he would be seriously injured.

"I told you earlier, the combat methods of the mechanic are very weird!"

Mo Wuxuan saw that someone was approaching Gong Xing and was about to mend the knife, so he hurriedly stopped: "Wait a minute, let me come!"

Even if the organ master is dead, only the corpse remains, he can set a trap, kill a wave of counter-killing, and take away a few burial companions.

"Mo Wuxuan, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!"

Gong Yu roared.

The skin on his back against the ground cracked, and a fingernail-sized trap beetle crawled out, struggling to burrow into the ground.

"Trying to distract me?

Mo Wuyu kicked away the public luck, listened attentively, and then plunged the wooden umbrella into the ground and crushed it hard.

Let's go!

The beetle was crushed.

"I lost!"

Gong Xing looked depressed.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to your corpse!"

Ink Turnip Guarantee.

There are some mechanics, after killing the enemy, they are still angry, and they will also make the opponent's corpse into a battle puppet, which can be regarded as using the value to the limit.

"Izumiko, treat everyone!"

Only a few female warriors were slightly injured, and this result made Xia Ye very satisfied.

The exploration team of Gongyi was almost wiped out, leaving only Gongyi and Gongyi, Gongchuan Lin was seriously injured and still humming.

"Please, help me!"

Gong Lin begged: "I don't want to die!"

"If you let us go, I'll tell you a shocking discovery!"

Gong Chuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and pretended to calmly prescribe conditions.

"You found iron ore?"

Xia Ye asked rhetorically.

"Iron ...... Iron what?"

Gong Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "That kind of metal, called iron?"

"Your earth-shattering discovery, my big brother already knew!"

Woad rolled his eyes, jumped on a big rock, and looked around, this canyon is really big, and there is almost no vegetation growing, and the red soil covered with it is indeed like sprinkling blood.

"No, how do you know it's called iron?"

Gong Defeat thought of another question, he originally thought that Xia Ye was talking nonsense, but he found that copper and iron are really a good match!

Xia Zhixin said, the periodic table of chemical elements, why don't I recite it for you?

"So poor!"

Woong squatted next to Mo Wu, watching her rummage through the packages of the lucky ones, and found that there were almost no valuable loot.

"It's normal, the mechanic is not short of money, but he can't save money, so it's all used for experiments and building machine war beasts. ”

Mo Wuxuan explained that the essence of a mechanism master was condensed in their mechanism war beasts.

For the people of Xia Ye, those broken mechanism war beasts are useless, but they are a valuable treasure for any mechanism master.

"Eh, this guy is the son of the ancestor!"

Woad had sharp eyes and saw that there was a bronze medal, the same as the one he had gotten before.

"Anyway, I've already slaughtered the sons of two ancestors, and if I kill too much, will people come to the door?"

Xia Ye was just teasing, he wasn't afraid.

"Are these two going to be extinguished?"

Jiaduo asked.

"Kill the mouth!"

Mo Wuxuan is not a ruthless person, but when it comes to new metals, it must be just in case.

Elena was accompanied by ten forgers on the expedition, but after so many years, only two of them died, and because they had no permanent residence and no ore all year round, their craft was much wasted.

Xia Ye's forging master was captured after destroying Xia Mingyu's tribe, and his level was average, that is, the level of repairing the broken sword.

As a mechanic, Mo Wuyu is erudite and talented, and knows some common sense in smelting, but has very little practical experience.

"Forget it, let's make do with it!"

Xia Ye sighed.

"Look at the good stuff I found!"

Woad came running with an iron lump, which had been picked up from the crucible of Gong Yu's luck.

Mo Wuxuan snatched it up, and after studying it carefully, there was irrepressible excitement in his voice.

"It's a new metal!"

"Congratulations to the Great Chief!"

The two slave forgers knelt down directly and slapped their ass.

On the first day, the forging team led by Mo Wuyu only did some simple experiments to confirm the existence of iron and test various properties at the same time.

"There is no need to measure, the melting point and boiling point of iron are higher than copper, and after being made into weapons, in terms of sharpness and hardness, iron tools will surpass bronze weapons!"

Natsuno introduced.

"Melting point?"

Mo Wuxuan blinked: "Boiling point?"

"The temperature at which iron melts into molten iron is called the melting point, and the temperature at which molten iron evaporates into gas is called the boiling point!"

Xia Ye said this on purpose, he wanted to leave Mo Wuyu behind and be the engineer of Chaoge.

"Did you learn from a ruin somewhere?"

Mo Wuxuan speculated, after all, she could never have dreamed that Xia Ye was a lucky person who survived the spore cataclysm.

"Yes!"

Xia Ye didn't hide his secrets, called the forging group over, and popularized the knowledge that he still remembered to everyone.

"If you want to make iron, you have to use a higher temperature, so you need to use a blast furnace and coke!"

As soon as Xia Ye finished speaking, several hands were raised in unison.

"The blast furnace I can literally guess is a very high furnace, so what is coke?"

Mo Wuxuan asked.

"Coke is a substance obtained by insufficient combustion of firewood or coal, which provides more heat and is more resistant to burning!"

Natsuno explained.

"What is coal?"

Mo Wuxuan continued to ask.

"A black mineral, it is a combustible substance that ancient plants were buried in the ground after the earth's crust changed, and after thousands of years, through a series of changes!"

Xia Ye said this, and added: "I went out on Friday and found an open-pit coal mine, and everyone will soon be able to see the real thing." ”

In fact, there is no coal, firewood can also be represented, anyway, in the wasteland of the ancient forest, the most important thing is tall trees, as for indiscriminate felling, damage to the environment? sorry, no one can care about these in this era.

Mo Wuxuan took out a small notebook and recorded it carefully.

Iron ore reserves are much larger than copper ore, and it is more versatile, and the most important thing is that through iron ore, steel can be smelted, which is the metal Xia Ye wants.

Xia Ye loves to read the history of farming, and when he was a child, he heard adults say that in the past era, families built blast furnaces, made iron and steel, and carried out production competitions.

Ironmaking technology is not that difficult.

After Xia Ye finished saying what he knew, he started to be the shopkeeper and handed everything over to Mo Wuyu to handle.

A makeshift camp was erected, and a regiment of more than a hundred captives was brought in, whose task was to extract ore, grind it into slag, sift it, and send it to the blast furnace.

On the third day, the first molten iron flowed out, but it was not enough to smelt iron ingots that could be used to craft weapons.

There are a lot of impurities in molten iron and must be removed.

Intrigued by the new metal, Lu Lingxi put down her breeding career to visit, and for so many years, she has traveled north and south, exploring various ruins and collecting those lost knowledge.

Among them, there is some knowledge about forging, Lu Lingxi didn't know much about it before, but after listening to Xia Ye's popular science class, he suddenly realized.

Coupled with a Mohist genius, Chaoge's pace towards the Iron Age is becoming more and more stable.

I haven't seen my brother for nearly twenty days, and Xia Lingyue misses him very much, so she took advantage of Elena's triumph to report this expedition to Xia Ye, and came with her.

Death Canyon, disgusted that the name is not good, has been changed to the Red River Valley, and a large flag has been erected, and the corpses of the losers are hung from the nearby trees to warn the intruders.

In fact, in order to keep it secret, Xia Ye pushed the cordon ten miles away, and it was still very safe in the wasteland.

As soon as Xia Lingyue approached the mouth of the valley, she saw black smoke and dust billowing up, drifting into the distance with the summer wind.

Ahh

Elena sneezed.

In the air, there is a pungent smell that makes the nose a little uncomfortable.

"Take this with you!"

Woad gave the linen masks to the crowd.

After going a few dozen meters deeper into the canyon, everyone saw a camp with more than a dozen high furnaces erected on the west side.

As soon as we got closer, a wave of heat came over my face.

"Charcoal!

Commanded by Mo Wu.

"It's going to be molten iron, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later!"

Xia Ye is shirtless, and he is also sweating and working, and there is a giant spirit god next to him, temporarily working as a blacksmith.

Elena shook her head, putting the giant spirit god on the battlefield is definitely an overwhelming force, but Xia Ye is good, let it be miscellaneous, it is a waste at all.

"That's what the Great Chief did!"

Elena muttered, but she didn't complain, with the comprehensive upgrade of Chaoge, now one giant spirit god can be born in ten days, and as long as it is not against those big tribes, five giant spirit gods appear, it is completely a crushing game!

The blast furnace was opened, and a stream of red molten iron slowly flowed down the stone trough.

The blacksmiths immediately got to grips with the molten iron.

Laugh at!

As it cools, pieces of iron ingots are formed.

"Looks pretty good!"

Mo Wuxuan nodded, at least the quality of the iron ingots produced a dozen times was much better.

Fortunately, iron ore and coke don't need money, otherwise Xia Ye would be distressed to death if it was wasted like this

Next, it's time for Gunnyvale, the swordsmith of the Eternal Isle.

The clanging sound sounded, and no one felt irritated, but watched the iron ingot with great interest, gradually turning into a sword embryo.

Xia Ye took a break and met Xia Lingyue.

"Don't get tired!"

Xia Lingyue was distressed and took a towel to wipe Xia Ye's sweat.

"Wu Yu and Lu Niang are more tired than me!"

In addition to Xia Ye's knowledge of science popularization, the specific operations were all taken over by Mo Wuxuan and Lu Lingxi, to be honest, without these two, Xia Ye would have been tinkering for a year, and he wouldn't have seen an iron sword.

"This is iron?"

Curious, Elena picked up an iron sword.
