Yuri patted his chest and said that he would promise to teach the firing of glass to a few apprentices, and Donner smiled and told the old alchemist a little about firing glass.

Unlike Yuri, who fired the glass based on his many experiments, Donner knew how to fire the glass in a relatively systematic way.

Yuri carefully explained his method of firing glass to Donner, who added a few words from time to time, consciously or unintentionally put forward some suggestions and ideas, telling Yuri what he knew, and asking him to improve the glass firing method.

It was not until the afternoon that Donner left the kiln and returned to his residence on Cancer Island.

Donner didn't stop, and after returning home and drawing a few drawings, he immediately rushed to the blacksmith's shop.

If you want to quickly make glass solutions into glass products, you must need matching tools.

In the artificial production stage, in fact, many glassware are blown out of iron pipes, which requires the blacksmith to create iron pipes that specialize in blowing glass solutions.

There are other tools such as anvils, tongs, scissors, molds, etc., which can be prepared now, and when Yuri teaches those apprentices, and then builds a new glass workshop, he can make glassware in large quantities.

The blacksmith shop is no longer the scale of the Crescent Island, there are a total of ten blacksmiths in the two compounds, and the blacksmiths on the five Crescent Islands are constantly making muskets.

The blacksmiths recruited on Cancer Island arranged for them to melt some discarded weapons into iron ingots, forge them into steel blocks, and make iron tools such as farm tools and spears by the way.

The barrel of the arquebus had to be made of steel, and the sickle and axe used to clear the wasteland were less elaborate, and were made of pig iron.

This is also a last resort in order to be able to quickly create a large number of iron tools used for land reclamation, otherwise the residents will not be able to cut down trees with stones!

So the blacksmith's task was extremely busy, and when Donner arrived, the clanging sound was incessant.

Uncle Anderson was wearing a burlap short-sleeved shirt and smashed it on the steel ingot with a hammer, Donner walked behind him and patted it gently: "Uncle Anderson." ”

Anderson turned around, the hammer still striking precisely on the ingot, "Donner, what's the matter?"

Donner nodded, and Uncle Anderson wiped a handful of sweat and said, "Then you wait a minute." ”

The steel ingots in his hands have not yet been formed, and it is impossible for a demanding blacksmith to stop halfway.

Donner said hello and walked around the blacksmith by himself.

It didn't take long for Anderson to find Donner, and the two sat at a stone table outside the house and poured two glasses of water.

Donner hadn't taken a few sips of water all afternoon, and then he felt very thirsty, so he took the porcelain cup, poured a large mouthful, and then took out a few drawings from his pocket and put them on the stone table, and said, "Uncle Anderson, these are some of the tools I urgently need, please help the blacksmith shop to make them quickly." ”

Anderson is the head of the blacksmith shop, and Donner usually finds him when there is anything wrong with him, and asks Anderson to assign the task instead of skipping the level to find other blacksmiths.

This is not only a kind of trust and respect for Uncle Anderson, but also a subconscious cultivation of craftsmen, and the psychology of obedience to superiors and subordinates in work.

Uncle Anderson took the drawing, looked at it roughly, and nodded.

Things are relatively simple, and experienced blacksmiths can understand them at a glance. Moreover, the drawings are drawn from a three-dimensional perspective, and the scale of the dimensions is marked with the standard of weights and measures that he proposed a few days ago.

When Anderson first saw the drawings of the arquebus structure drawn by Donner, he was amazed, and the easy-to-understand drawings at a glance were a blessing for the craftsmen.

"By the way, did you find a way to build that large iron pipe?" Donner was talking about artillery, which he secretly instructed Uncle Anderson to study in secret.

Uncle Anderson shook his head: "Not yet, although it can be made according to the method of making small iron pipes, the sealing may not meet your requirements." ”

"And the most important thing is that you can't get enough steel. Anderson took a sip of water, moistened his throat and said, "It is very difficult for a few guys to forge steel to provide a barrel, and there is no way to melt and cast it, and experiment with this kind of large iron pipe." ”

Donner sighed, he had to get the artillery. As long as the artillery is built, the liberation regiment can be said to be like a tiger with wings, and it is not impossible to run rampant in the eastern seas, and it has a greater certainty of landing on the mainland in the coming day and gaining a firm foothold.

But at the moment, it is really difficult and hurried, the steel made by the blacksmith shop cannot meet the demand, and the local method of steelmaking is far away, even the refractory bricks are not yet eyebrow-free.

Anderson continued, "However, I heard from the two guys I just recruited that there are two dwarves imprisoned on Cancer Island and I don't know ......."

Dwarf?Donner's first thought was the dwarven blacksmith.

Influenced by countless novels and films, he has already formed a fixed thinking in Donner's mind, and dwarves and blacksmiths are one.

"Dwarven blacksmith?" Donner asked.

Anderson was also a little unsure: "It seems that yes, if I go and ask, the legend is that the dwarves are born blacksmiths, they are very experienced, maybe there is a way to help us forge that kind of large iron pipe, no matter how bad it is, we can forge more steel." ”

Donner suddenly got up: "Let's go, let those two take us to them." ”

Anderson stood up and returned to the crafting area, where he found the two blacksmiths who were building farm implements.

Although the two blacksmiths were not registered by Donner, they both knew Donner and knew that the young man in front of them was the ruler of Cancer Island.

They were upset, thinking that they had done something wrong and angered the chief.

Donner smiled mildly and asked, "I heard that two dwarven blacksmiths are imprisoned on Cancer Island, haven't you?"

Hearing the question, he secretly exhaled softly.

It turned out that this was the case, they let go of their nervousness, looked at each other, and one of the short men replied respectfully: "Yes, the two dwarven blacksmiths are the leaders of the Blood Shark Regiment, and they broke through a small port a few years ago, and the captives have been imprisoned in a house to make weapons for the pirate group. ”

Another said, "We were once placed there to be apprentices to two dwarven master blacksmiths. And our iron-striking technique was learned from two masters. ”

Donner nodded secretly and asked, "How are those two dwarven masters skilled, how do they compare to Uncle Anderson." ”

The short blacksmith secretly glanced at Uncle Anderson, who was expressionless, and said carefully: "The two dwarf masters are very powerful, similar to Uncle Anderson. ”

The looks of the two of them, as long as they are not blind, can be seen, these words are complimenting Anderson.

Donner didn't say anything, and said lightly: "Where are they being held, take me to find them." ”

"Yes!" the two bowed, leading Donner and Anderson towards the resident's residence.
