Chapter 33 Frying Steel Method and Filling Steel Method
Niu Jingtian, who flew in the sky, found Samri Harbor burned to white ground a few kilometers away, so he killed hundreds of dog heads. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's a pity that this place has been abandoned for too long, and there are not many good things, except for picking up an old man who robs business, who calls himself "broken teeth", and he doesn't gain much.
"It's a good trade point, it's a pity to be abandoned, let's just build it. ”
And so the previous scene happened.
Niu Ida knew that he couldn't deal with the locals with the image of the doghead, so he simply threw the empty camp on the 'broken tooth' and went home with the doghead patting his butt.
The days of "Broken Teeth" are very fantastical, but his mind is still quite clear, and he understands the cause and effect.
Everyone was very painful: "You mean, the other party is a dragon the size of a dog, claiming to be a mage's subordinates, and he was ordered to take the mage's subordinates to set up a camp here, and then let you act as the head of the camp, and then he left?"
Broken Tooth: "Hmm!"
Everyone was speechless, it didn't look like a demon, at least they wouldn't give the camp to an old man who was addicted to picking up rags. But is this the style of a mage?
Life still has to be passed, and the first few people who touched it also have their own strengths. Spear Huma ran out to reconnoiter for most of the day, and then came back: "The other party is walking by boat, there are many, at least 300 traces, it is definitely a large army." ”
Hu Ge: "Take a boat, it's a good way, although it's easy to get lost, but it's fast, if the demon is so powerful, then this battle can't be fought, and the supply of the Brave Hill will be completely cut off." ”
Despite all kinds of worries, everyone is still full of praise for this camp, not to mention that there are even heavy crossbows left on the arrow tower, if there is a team of one or two hundred people guarding it, it can fight against a larger number of demons.
It's a shame that there aren't so many survivors nearby, it's a shame that this camp is a shame.
At this time, Broken Tooth asked with a shocked face, "Is this camp really for me?" I mean, let me guard it?"
Seeing that this old man who picked up rags looked sluggish, everyone smiled very unkindly.
Ushiida headed south and soon returned to the Thousand Caves Hill. Along the way, he occasionally caught scattered demons, stopped from time to time to repair broken ships, and could also catch a few snapping turtles, so after running for half a month, the population increased by less than two hundred.
After standing firm in the hills of a thousand caves, it was to acquire demons, and it was to fight Saka Town to the south, plus this trip to hunt, the number of dog heads skyrocketed to nearly two thousand, but correspondingly, the daily consumption also increased greatly.
Now the demons of the big winter don't go out, and the rations basically rely on allies.
How to go next, several traversers have their own plans.
Ushiida: "Why don't you go to the north, this kingdom seems to be the southern hemisphere, the swamp gets warmer the further north it goes, the dog head can fish, you can also deal with the port more, do small business, and we will come back in the spring." ”
Several humans and elves shook their heads vigorously.
The swamp was not unseen by them, just north of the 'hill camp'. Even if there are a thousand bad things here, there is one advantage that the swamp cannot compare with - the mosquitoes of the swamp can squeeze people dry!
Where there is a lot of water, especially in the swamps where there is stagnant water, it is difficult to describe how terrible mosquitoes are.
We're not like you and the dog's head with scales, so the ghost wants to go over!
Although the dog head still lives a semi-stone age, a semi-feudal life, squatting in the ground all the year round, but a few traversers can be very chic-
At first, he lived in the magic cottage of Tesfil, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and its own air conditioning. Later, he simply commanded the dog head to set up a small wooden villa, all kinds of solid wood carved furniture, exquisite daily necessities - basically relied on seizures, and even hung a lot of local style portraits and sculptures on the walls, and invited a few local lonely aunts to take care of their lives.
If it weren't for the winter, the swimming pool might have been there.
Food and clothes are even less of a problem.
Finally experienced the 'rotten and depraved life of an entry-level bourgeois bitch', let's go drill the swamp with you!?
However, everyone is from the grassroots, and when they live a good life, they are a little weak-hearted, and the bloody plot of the eight o'clock file will not happen.
Xu Ping'an: "Although going to the swamp can solve the food problem, I have a bunch of projects here that I can't get away with." ”
Because the number of dog heads has been rising on its heels, the matching equipment will never be enough.
In particular, iron items that can be exchanged for food.
Before, the wood model method and clay model method used to pour iron tools were too inefficient, and in the work, Xu Ping'an thought of the iron model method introduced in the history books of that year.
In this way, the efficiency of making agricultural tools and weapons has increased dramatically, and the principle of the iron model method will not be introduced here.
So he also recalled the historical background of the Iron Fan Law.
Originally, this craft has been used to make agricultural tools, and it has a long history and is a traditional production process that has long been popularized in China. Later, Da Qingguo came to power, played with the text prison, engaged in national education for the mentally handicapped, and even banned tools such as "Heavenly Creation" to make books.
After one crow and two crows were beaten by foreigners until they were killed, Da Qingguo, who implemented the anti-intellectualist management model, had no choice but to lower his noble head and study the 'strange tricks and tricks'.
Later, the history books also boasted about the gongs and drums: Who said that my big green fruits are all kobolds? Isn't there still an 'inventor'?
It's embarrassing.
Therefore, Xu Ping'an also began to study the iron fan cannon method.
Brother Long said that I am sleepy in spring and lack of sleep in autumn and summer, and I want to hibernate in winter.
Guan Renxiu said that the dog's eggs had just hatched, and a few little kobolds were very tolerable!
Tesfil said I feel like I'm about to upgrade to level 6 mage......
Well, you're all busy.
Then I'll take some dog heads out and toss myself, and replenish some rations by the way.
Today, the kobold are close to 2,000, and they can't do anything about the trip, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.
On his way back from this trip, Niu Ida picked up a few small wooden boats from Trem Harbor, and took advantage of the efforts to organize the team, and hurried to ask the craftsmen to copy more small boats.
The shipbuilding skills of the Terium kingdom were improvised, at least as average in the Middle Ages: keel ribs, high protruding bows, stern rudders, and all sorts of practical iron components, and the kobolds only had to follow the cat and the tiger.
It has been said that the timber that has been dried for several years to build a ship is not a problem - there are many messy miners' shacks near the Thousand Caves and Hills, and there are many suitable timbers.
Under the command of a few captive 'Fallen Foremen', the kobold built several steam kilns out of stone and mud, threw suitable wood planks into them, and then heated them with steam with the right humidity, and soon the wood softened like a hard strip of leather, and then the shape was finalized.
Half a month later, nearly a thousand kobolds gathered in the north of the swamp, and large and small packages and supplies were piled up into small mountain bags.
While counting the materials, Xu Ping'an said to Niu Jingtian: "I have prepared all the production tools for you, be careful on the road." By the way, there is still a lot of sulfur and saltpeter missing, I will look for it in the mines, and the rest will depend on your maritime trade!"
"No problem, look at me. ”
A mighty procession of kobolds, dressed in strange 'plate shoes' and carrying boats, walked into the swamp full of black silt.
Xu Ping'an, who watched them leave, felt a little sad in the cold wind-he took away more than half of the carpenters, which was too hateful.
The second time he came to the swamp, Niu Ida was also an old driver. Entering the open water, the dog's head can rely on the boat to hurry, and the journey is much smoother.
The benefits of the kobolds' militarized organization are also apparent, and some of the kobolds, following their little masters who fly in the sky, cut down reeds along the way, make various road signs, and guide the way for those who come after them;
Some of the remaining dog heads, following the former, cut down some of the reed banks that were high above the water, leveled them, and transformed them into camps;
The rest grabbed all kinds of nets and rods and started fishing, and some even caught giant snapping turtles.
The whole team is in good order and rolling forward.
On the other hand, a few people who stayed in the 'Thousand Caves and Hills' to enjoy a comfortable life were somewhat guilty, so everyone did not take a holiday and began to study various technologies such as gunpowder.
To make a cannon, you must have good iron, saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, which are all necessary conditions.
The first to produce results was Xu Ping'an.
This logistics director, who has been tormented by the output of 100 steels for a long time, tossed for more than a month, trying to increase the output of steel, just to liberate the manpower of those craftsmen who make 100 steels by hand, so that he can accompany him to build cannons.
So, recalling the middle school textbooks of that year, I copied the technique of frying steel--pouring the molten pig iron produced by the blast furnace into a cauldron-like crucible, and then using the pig iron rod to stir and stir constantly, during which the wind had to be constantly blown.
This is China's traditional metallurgical process, and the group of liberal arts students who compiled the history books said that what comes out of frying steel is steel.
The principle is that the carbon in pig iron reacts with oxygen and becomes carbon dioxide discharge, and then becomes steel with lower carbon content, or even wrought iron, because the melting point of steel and wrought iron is several hundred degrees higher than that of pig iron, so the product produced quickly changes from molten pig iron to a lump of hard steel and wrought iron.
The literati misled the country!
Xu Ping'an followed this process to fry the steel furnace, and the pig iron water that came out turned out was a lot of slag, and the first few times it was "fried" out was only pig iron with a slightly lower carbon content, and it also condensed into a lump with those slags, forming a large piece of mixed discus. This thing cannot be used directly, and can only be used as a raw material for the "steel filling method".
After that, several furnaces of molten iron are again slag removed, and strong blasts must be heated hot air, and a large group of kobolds are mobilized to make hot pots, frantically stirring in the pot, and occasionally producing a few furnaces of steel-like products - a lump of wrought iron, steel melted into a ball, mixed in a pig iron cake.
