Chapter Eighty-Six: Steelmaking
Lin Ye stretched out his foot and put on the transparent ankle ring, and the ankle ring disappeared immediately, as if he hadn't put on anything. However, the system's prompt clearly told Lin Ye that he had gained a skill.
"The host has already obtained a D-level stealth skill, and after using the stealth skill, if you want to use it again, you must wait another day. Use with caution. ”
Lin Ye nodded, he shook his leg slightly, and the stealth skill was immediately activated. Lin Ye's body immediately turned into a transparent body, its body almost perfectly integrated with the outside world, and only by observing it carefully could you see the outline of Lin Ye's transparent body.
Judging from the meaning of the system's introduction, this fashion seems to have a more powerful set of attributes. However, Lin Ye didn't expect anything from him, and it was already so difficult to get a fashion, so he wanted to
Return to the mine cave under the stone mountain.
Now that the sky had become dark, and Lin Ye still had to go back to the shallow water, he had to refine a few pieces of steel as soon as possible at this time.
He brought in some dirt and made it look like an incinerator, and threw three pieces of iron ore about the size of him into it.
The phoenix feather form opened! Lin Ye silently said in his heart. Suddenly, the flames of the entire stone tower area drilled into Lin Ye's body, allowing Lin Ye to obtain a B-grade flame feather cloak again. At this time, the temperature of the flame controlled by Lin Ye also reached the melting point of iron.
He kept increasing the flames, and when he was almost about to reach the temperature limit of the flames, he noticed that the crimson iron ore was showing the slightest sign of melting. Lin Ye hurriedly kept the flame burning, carefully controlling the flame, and at the same time threw a piece of dry wood into it.
This was the simplest method of making earth, and Lin Ye had barely remembered this by relying on the chemical knowledge in his mind. That is, the red iron ore contains ferric oxide, and iron tetraoxide and carbon monoxide undergo a chemical reaction at high temperatures to produce iron and carbon dioxide.
The fiery red molten iron baked the entire furnace red, Lin Ye's face was flushed, he was a phoenix, he should not be afraid of molten iron, but if he was allowed to jump into the molten iron, he might not know what would happen.
The charred wood on the side melts into the molten iron and begins to convert the molten iron into molten steel. Steel is an alloy composed of iron, carbon, and other elements. Lin Ye had studied in a junior high school textbook, and although this was his first attempt at steelmaking, Lin Ye was very confident in the results of steelmaking.
Compared with human ironmaking, Lin Ye also has a very obvious advantage, that is, he can use flames to control the heat evenly, and he doesn't have to worry about anything that will happen in time to remedy. If you fail, start again, fail again, start again. Iron will not disappear out of thin air, until tonight falls, Lin Ye has time to try various refining techniques.
An hour passed, and Lin Ye finally withdrew the flames. Using the Flame Feather Cloak for an hour in a row had drained Lin Ye's spirit, and he was about to fall asleep with his eyes squinted and leaned against the wall.
In the furnace lay a pitch-black block of steel, surrounded by iron slag. This piece of steel was only one-third the size of the red iron ore that Lin Ye had thrown into, and it had already met the conditions for being assessed as alloy steel.
"Found D-class build material, steel block, quality: poor. You can create more powerful equipment and items. ”
Lin Ye shook his head and sighed in his heart. It would take at least three months to stuff all the iron ore in the cave into the furnace bit by bit to make steel. It is better to turn the entire mine into a furnace and refine all the iron ore in one go, although the quality of the steel may be worse, but Lin Ye's plan is not just for himself.
He wanted to use the steel to refine some equipment for Redback and Egg Stealer, without the need for a system to build it, and without consuming excess natural breath.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye's heart showed a pleasant smile, and when Chinese characters were popularized, these steels would be enough to make the residents of shallow water and dense forest areas enter the Iron Age in advance.
It was late enough today, and after Lin Ye rested in place for half an hour, he casually braided a straw rope, nailed the straw rope to the edge of the stone tower area, and then slid down from the straw rope. By the time Lin Ye slid to the bottom of the grass rope, Lin Ye was still twenty meters high from the Cordyceps area below.
Lin Ye let go of the straw rope and landed safely with the help of the waves of qi set off by the flames. He raised his head and glanced at the cliff more than thirty meters high, this grass rope was more than ten meters long, plus Lin Ye's jump and flame boost, it was enough for him to reach the grass rope and return to the stone tower area.
"Didi! The equipment commissioned by the host has been built, please get it as soon as possible. ”
Ah, the four dragonfly wings I put in have finally been built, and I don't know what will come out.
Lin Ye was not in a hurry when he heard this prompt, he had already stored a meteor bone hammer in the equipment space, and he did not have extra space to store the newly created equipment, and it was not too late to receive the equipment after returning to the shallow water area.
Overhead in the forest is a giant dragonfly that flies through the grassy fields to hunt. Each giant dragonfly had a large mosquito in its mouth, and its shriveled belly was now bulging.
Because the giant dragonflies were cleared a lot by Lin Ye, the remaining giant dragonflies had plenty of food to hunt, and it would not be long before they returned to their original numbers.
Lin Ye's body was covered with a circle of black flames, just in case any eyeless insect dared to provoke him.
At this moment, a jumping spider with green grass on its head jumped out of the grass, and it was the same jumping spider that had come to the stone tower area earlier. The burns on its body had healed almost in just one afternoon. It saw Lin Ye early in the morning and immediately ran forward to offer its courtesy. It had a gnats in its mouth, and it placed it in front of Lin Ye, signaling that it would offer food to Lin Ye.
Lin Ye smiled, waved his wings, and a flame swooped up, turning the gnats into a fragrant meal. Instead of eating the grasshopper, he pushed it to the jumping spider.
In the eyes of the jumping spider, Lin Ye's approach was like magic, and its eyes suddenly lit up, looking at Lin Ye excitedly.
"The attitude of the jumping spider towards the host changed from favorability to worship. ”
"Didi! Discover a potential believer, the Jumping Spider, and the host can apply to the Jumping Spider to become a resident of the Totem Sanctuary. If the jumping spider becomes a sapient creature, it will progress from a resident to a believer. According to the analysis of known conditions, both will bring different benefits to the totem spirits in the totem sanctuary, and the specific benefits will be communicated to the host one by one later. ”
