Chapter 26: Working Together

In this way, the shipbuilding plan was officially launched, and the enthusiastic robbers were really desperate, trying hard to learn various building techniques, and striving to do things the best.

The first step in shipbuilding was to cut down trees, and in order to cut down trees, you needed the right tools for felling, and now that iron ore is available, the difficulty is to extract the pure iron from the ore, which requires containers that can withstand the high melting point of melting the ore into iron juice. However, in the mountains and forests near the Eagle Sorrow Stream, everyone could not find such a container at all, and everyone was at a loss for anything, and they all drooped their heads and had nothing to do.

Tang Sanzang had an idea, and suggested with a wicked smile: "If you want to smelt iron, it's not easy, just use Wukong's golden hoop stick." That treasure is an immortal soldier of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and it is not a little bit of heat to melt the ore, and it is not a little bit regretted at all. We can shrink the rod to the size of a discus and roast it over a fire until the ore is turned into molten iron. In view of the fact that the golden hoop rod still weighs more than 10,000 catties after becoming smaller, let Wukong hold it, anyway, the dead monkey copper-headed iron arm, and he is not afraid of the thousands of degrees of flames, and when the ore is completely melted into molten iron, and then pour it into a special mold, it is done. ”

Wukong shook his head when he heard this, and protested repeatedly: "Master, you're not joking, this is the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron left by Dayu when he controlled the water, it is very precious, how can it be used to make iron so blasphemous?

However, everyone was already inexplicably excited by the crazy idea of the holy monk, and they vigorously encouraged him to stick to this plan. Tang Sanzang nodded, cleared his throat, and lobbied the monkey with emotion and reason: "Wukong, you can sacrifice it, this is also so that everyone can have a more comprehensive understanding of the iron ore extraction process, which is a good thing for the benefit of the common people, and it will never insult the artifact." ”

Under the powerful offensive of Sanzang, Wukong reluctantly surrendered to his master's orders, so he had to compromise and agree. For those who are familiar with Sun Wukong, the monkey's expression of wanting to cry without tears when he presents the golden hoop stick is definitely a classic picture that he has only seen in his life.

Fortunately, the heavens and the earth are far away from the eagle sorrowful stream, and the immortals and Buddhas who are smiling and watching the monkey like this don't have to worry about being detected, otherwise with the monkey's hot temper, they will feel that they have lost face at the same time, they will be annoyed and angry, and they will go crazy and go crazy, and they will kill people before they stop, so that a bloody storm will sweep in again.

So, while gloating, the immortals of the Three Realms couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that they were lucky, obediently, this Tang Sanzang is too capable of doing things, and it is really incredible that the Great Sage can endure humiliation and cooperate with all his might. Thinking of this, the immortals sighed, and they didn't feel a little respect for this little-known Dongtu monk.

In this way, under the instructions of Tang Sanzang, everyone made a bellows out of wood, and put a stove made of wet soil in the bellows. Everyone put the lighted coal stone in the stove, and took turns to change hands and twitch the bellows, and after a few twitches, the coal and stone in the stove were fully burned, and naturally the flame was as high as thousands of degrees.

On the bellows, there is the Monkey King with a bitter face, holding a Ruyi golden hoop stick shrunken to the size of a golden round cake. I don't know what material the gold hoop rod is made of, it has excellent thermal conductivity, and the temperature in the stove is transmitted in an instant, which greatly accelerates the melting speed of the ore.

These ores were carefully selected by the mountain gods and are super-first-class iron-rich ores, more than pure enough to make ordinary quenching vessels and logging tools. All you need to do is melt the ore into juice and pour it directly into the mold to cool and form. In the process of melting, we added some rare metals according to the instructions of the holy monks, so that the strength and toughness of the iron tools are also guaranteed to a great extent.

After the ore melted, Sun Wukong quickly poured the molten iron into a wooden mold, which was made of extremely heat-resistant nanmu, which was evenly brushed with a layer of ice water, which could quickly cool the hot molten iron to ensure the strength and quality of the container.

So, with the help of Monkey King, the first iron container on the Eagle Sorrow Stream finally fell to the ground. With the container for making iron, it is not easy to make logging tools.

At this time, Tang Sanzang came up with an idea on the side again, its practical firewood knife is not easy to cut wood, it is laborious and hurts his hands, so simply transform the saw, the gear on the saw is far more efficient than the single edge of the firewood knife.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, the archmage simply compared the structure of the saw, and rarely explained modestly that this was invented by our ancestor Divine Craftsman Lu Ban, and he was just picking up the wisdom of the old man, so there was really nothing to boast about. Everyone quickly saw the sharpness of the saw, and unconsciously sighed sincerely at the advanced technology of Datang, which really made Tang Sanzang a cow again.

The alloy iron saw mixed with rare metals was even more sharp than the steel sword at that time, so that everyone who was accustomed to swords held it in their hands, and they couldn't help but sigh. However, the sword came out of its sheath, and it was known whether it was a divine weapon, and everyone was happy to see the hunt, and they shouted that they wanted to go up the mountain to try the edge of the iron saw.

Soon, everyone found a big tree, and two big men pulled it horizontally left and right with a saw, and sawed down the towering dragon teak tree in three times and dividing it by two. When the big tree fell to the ground, the excited and inexplicable people couldn't help but worry again, damn, this tree is inevitably too big, just a few of us to carry it, it's obviously not enough, how is this good?

Sun Wukong came up with a bad idea on the side: "That's not simple, isn't it simple and clear to see the big tree sawed down in sections?"

As soon as the words came out, the old water god rushed up with anger in his stomach, and he didn't care about the well-known signboard of the Monkey King, and came up with a stinking scolding: "Damn, a good tree, of course, must be complete to be easy to use, it must be sawn into small sections, and the planning is lacking in a few inches, isn't it a waste of good materials? Besides, a lot of trees are used in shipbuilding, even if the wood is sawn into small sections, it is enough for everyone to pull hundreds of times, and it will not exhaust people to death?"

The monkey was scolded so bloody, but he didn't know how to do it as the old water god, so he hesitated and didn't dare to attack, so he spread his hands and asked: "Then what do you say, you have to find a way to solve it." ”

Seeing that everyone was embarrassed, Tang Sanzang snapped his fingers and said leisurely: "I think we can cut down some small logs and spread them under the big tree, and then use the rope to pull the big tree, wouldn't it be much easier?"

Wukong added with a smile: "Then let's just make a big car, so that it is easy to transport and fix, so that the small wood does not roll around under the big tree and deviate." ”

This method is wonderful, and all the mountain gods clapped their horses in unison when they heard the words: "The great sage is high, and it is really a bypass." ”

The old water god looked at Tang Sanzang with a sweaty face, and sighed in his heart, a knowledgeable and talented person like a holy monk is enough to stabilize the country and benefit the Quartet, why would he run out to be a monk so wasteful? Could it be that the Tang Kingdom is really full of talents, even the holy monk is only mixed into a monk, if this is the case, then the Tang Kingdom is not too terrible?
