Chapter 49 Making Iron Works

The means of birth control are not so easy to create, especially the five new dark elves who are new to the dark element. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The five did not insist on it, only saying that it would be best to study it within three years. It is advisable not to be too anxious, and the birth control spell must not cause irreparable damage to the body, otherwise the birth control will become a eunuch at the same time, or it will be quite sad not to raise it from now on.

Winter is not idle, and werewolves who have cultivated their internal strength can sway around in the snow when they put on a fur coat. These may have really become the existence of domestic dogs, and they seem to like to go out for a walk every day.

Taking advantage of the winter, the Terrans, who had already completed the initial brainwashing, chose a group of the most outstanding beings and taught the cultivation method of internal force, and these people would become the guarantee of the stability of the five's rule.

The 100 professional soldiers who had just begun to receive training were cultivating their internal strength earlier, and at the same time, under the guidance of the wind, they went out to hunt for freezing. In winter, as food resources dwindle, wild animals will go farther away to feed.

Of course, it is difficult to see wild animals that live in groups, but those who act alone sometimes find them. It's just that most of these beasts have some life-saving skills, such as wild boars, wolves and even larger predators, and they may also be demon beasts.

"Open the furnace!" Zhang Han is more concerned about the smelting of metal products than hunting.

It took a lot of time for the first iron furnace to be built, and there was no way to make steely by earth without coal. However, this is not difficult for him, and it is not easy to make too advanced things at this stage, so he first got the original iron-striking equipment out.

At Zhang Han's beckoning, the goblins and Terran apprentices quickly turned on the stove and used bronze shovels to shovel a mixture of hand-ground iron sand and charcoal powder into the furnace and ignite it. At the same time, Zhang Han quickly pulled the blower to blow the natural wind into the furnace to raise the temperature of the flame.

Due to the rudimentary equipment, only semi-molten iron pieces are produced. After taking it out, Zhang Han is beaten repeatedly while it is hot, and after cooling it slightly, it is put into a carbon furnace to heat, and then it is taken out for forging. Finally, after being quenched in urine, a relatively hard iron product was made.

However, what was originally created was not a weapon, but a variety of iron tools. For example, shovels, hammers, chainsaws, pickaxes, hoes, etc. On top of this, cooking products such as iron pots are created.

It's not that Zhang Han doesn't plan to build iron weapons, or that he doesn't plan to use more advanced crafting techniques, but at this stage, no one can guarantee the loyalty of the apprentices. In case they learn the technique, it will be more than worth the loss to defect in the middle of the night.

Even these apprentices, before learning to strike iron, all kowtowed to Zhang Han and went through the process of apprenticeship. But whether the other party understands the meaning of this process, and whether they can understand the rights and obligations between master and apprentice, to be honest, the five people who crossed the crowd were very worried, so they decided to observe for a while.

Loyalty aside, but the learning ability is indeed very good, whether it is a goblin or a human race, the learning talent is very good. After Zhang Han taught and actually built the iron work a few times, they had mastered this primitive method of fabrication.

"Very good, you guys learn very quickly, next we need more tools, especially farm tools, next spring to fully open up the wasteland for farming, which means that a lot of tools need to be invested!

At the same time, iron cooking supplies can not be slack, strive to be able to get a set for every household, everyone work hard, take turns to rest, and strive to complete the task as soon as possible!" Seeing that they got started so quickly, Zhang Han said with relief, and at the same time handed over the main work of building to them. As for him, he will give a few words of advice on the side, that is, there are always some privileges to be a teacher.

At dinner in the evening, the five traversers gathered together again to summarize today's gains and losses, and plan for the future by the way.

"Brother Zhang, thirty miles northwest of the stronghold, we found an open-pit coal mine, it seems that the output is very high! Look, do you send someone over to dig some back?" Feng said very excitedly, he still knows the value of coal.

"At this stage, there is no need to dig! The block refining method is indeed inefficient, and the quality of the things created may not be much better, but it is better than simplicity, and this is the quality that is wanted! When when our people have a sound outlook, understand the etiquette and law and discipline, and prove their loyalty, then consider using the steel frying method. Zhang Han shook his head and said.

The ancient ironmaking technology in China mainly experienced three processes: block smelting, frying steel, and filling steel, and the modern earth steelmaking and converter steelmaking Zhang Han actually understood, many of which were the craftsmanship left by the ancestors, as well as the technology learned in the modern steelmaking plant.

However, the modern steelmaking process, he now lacks equipment and means, so naturally he can't use it. Considering the issue of loyalty, he decided to start teaching the block alchemy method, with the aim of preventing the most advanced iron-making methods from leaking out.

"Do you have any materials to build among the apprentices who learned to make iron with you?" Meng Xin also asked casually.

"Every apprentice is very good, and their desire to learn is endless. But in terms of talent, there is a goblin named Diming who is the best!

He has a natural acumen for manufacturing and a faster grasp of the craft than others. It's really a bit of a waste of his talent, but if possible, I plan to let him learn the magic seal with me, and study the magic weapon making with me as an assistant. Zhang Han couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

"That's our core secret, unless the true disciples can't teach it casually. If you really want to teach him, at least you have to make sure of his loyalty, otherwise, if this core technology is leaked, it will be very disadvantageous to us!" Chu Mad did not object to Zhang Han teaching anyone, but solemnly reminded him.

"I don't need you to remind me of this, I know this, naturally I have to go through some assessment before I am qualified to become my true disciple. Just as they had discussed before, it is divided into three specifications: outer gate, inner gate, and true disciple, right?

The outer disciples can only learn the superficial crafts, and as far as I am concerned, the most they can do is to teach them the block refining method, the inner disciples can learn more profound techniques, at least they can teach them to the steel filling method, and the true disciples can teach everything they have learned, and there is no longer any restriction on what they can learn!" Zhang Han nodded and replied.

Immediately, he picked up the embroidered spring knife beside him, threw it to Liu Xing, and said: "This embroidered spring knife, the magic seal I have attached, the sharpness and hardness have been improved, and it should be able to withstand your full use."

However, limited by materials and processes, it can still only be regarded as a semi-finished product, another day I will try to use the steel filling method to refine an alloy steel knife out, see if I can engrave the law seal at the same time as refining, improve its power, and then give you a trial!"

"That's already very good, thank you!" Liu Xing pulled out the knife and felt it, and then put away the knife and thanked him.

"Don't thank me, it's just my duty. On the contrary, Meng Xin is hard, there are so many daily government affairs, and he has to spend time studying the law seal. Zhang Han looked at Meng Xin and said.

"It's just my interest, and I think there are more possibilities for the law seal to be excavated, and I always feel uncomfortable if I don't study it thoroughly for a day. Meng Xin replied modestly.

In the next few days, Zhang Han created several more weapons and handed them to Meng Xin, Feng and Chu Mad, each of which was an alloy steel weapon that he had privately refined with the steel-filling method. The weapon is engraved with a magic seal, as if it is a finished magic weapon!
