The Iron Ceremony was set five days later, and in order to celebrate the tribe's hatching of the sacred bird, the leader and the witch also planned to hold a sacrifice for the sacred bird at the ceremony.

For Yan Zheng, who only wants to eat chicken, he is worried that he will not have this taste in the future by making the status of pheasants so high.

However, to his delight, the four eggs eventually hatched two chicks.

The other two eggs didn't move, and when he knocked them open, a strong stench came out of them.

A hatching rate of 50 percent is already very high in the wilderness era.

In order to let the chickens grow up happily, Yan Zheng asked the clansmen to build a small chicken pen next to his thatched house.

He also mobilized the women who went to collect and catch some insects and give them to eat.

Lan Ya liked these two creatures very much, almost to the point of being in a state of demonic shock.

When Yan Zheng handed over the matter of raising to her, she had to eat it herself before the chicks ate.

Even bugs are no exception!

This made Yan Zheng sigh that the girl in the wild era was so violent, and in modern times, a cockroach can scare the little "fairy" girl into sending several circles of friends.

Therefore, the more civilization progresses, the more wasteful mankind becomes!

……………………

Five days later, a small high earthen furnace had been built in the middle of the tribe.

This one-person-high earthen furnace is the result of three days of joint efforts by five clansmen under the guidance of Yan Zheng.

It not only has a feeding port, a discharge port, but also a simple blower device.

The principle of this blower device is very simple, that is, when building an earthen furnace, make a few wooden blades and place them in the blast channel, as long as it ensures that it has space to rotate smoothly, it can have a certain blast effect.

At the same time, in order to keep warm, a simple reverberatory furnace was specially built on the blast channel to heat the air inside.

This kind of iron-making device, which can be called scientific and ingenious in the wilderness era, can be said to make the most of the limited conditions.

The leader and Wu both expressed their satisfaction with this small blast furnace, and what made them even more satisfied was the high platform that Yan Zheng had erected.

In the past, the leaders and witches did not have the consciousness of building a high platform.

But when they stood on the high platform, they soon found the solemnity and status symbol brought by the high platform.

This is very psychologically explained, especially by people who stand under the high platform, who can appreciate the difference.

So before the ironmaking began, the two of them stood on the high platform with Yan Zheng, and led the clansmen to start the sacrifice.

The two chicks were held by Lan Ya, who stood on the high platform and lifted the chicks high.

The chief and the witch sang the familiar song again, and the people worshipped it reverently.

Yan Zheng also hummed a few words, this ballad probably means to praise the ancestral spirits, forests, lakes, and mountains and rivers.

This kind of sacrifice is actually very simple, free from simple worship of gods, and no one is martyred for such cruel acts.

After an hour of conduct, Wu smiled and told the people that the ancestral spirit was very satisfied.

The clansmen also showed a relaxed and happy smile, and the little chicks who were forced to perform finally ushered in amnesty.

Then under Yan Zheng's arrangement, the iron-making ceremony began!

He stood in front of the small blast furnace and shouted, and more than a dozen clansmen walked to the small blast furnace with the processed slime on their backs.

The clay, mixed with plant ash and charcoal dust, is kneaded into cylinders. Grass ash is added to lower the melting point, while alkalinity can form a more sluble slag.

Yan Zheng made three gestures towards the small blast furnace, filling the sense of ceremony.

With a wave of his hand, one of his clansmen walked up the steps and lifted the lid on the top of the small blast stove.

In the small blast furnace, the charcoal was burning slowly, and when the lid was lifted, a puff of black smoke came out along with the open flame due to the accelerated circulation of air.

The tribesmen were taken aback, and they realized that this high stove was not as gentle as the earthen stove for cooking.

At Yan Zheng's invitation, the leader personally threw a slime pillar into the small blast furnace.

He also learned from Yan Zheng and made three moves towards the small blast furnace.

Yan Zheng nodded, and the clansmen in charge of the wind blast immediately started to blow the wind.

This simple blower device also uses the principle of pulling the drill, so as the clansman moves the pull rod up and down, the black smoke on the small blast furnace intensifies and flutters a few times, and an orange-red flame emerges.

Under the command of Yan Zheng, two large clay pillars with baskets were thrown into the small blast furnace. After adding some sand and charcoal, the lid is closed and pasted with clay.

As the blast continued, only a subtle popping sound could be heard, and the blast furnace seemed to be quiet.

It's just the heat wave and black smoke rising from the top that the clansmen dare not underestimate this quiet thing.

The people who blew the wind were sweating profusely, and the people who were close to the stove were also sweating profusely.

I don't know how long later, under Yan Zheng's instructions, a red XX clansman picked up a long wooden stick and climbed the steps next to the small blast furnace.

He pushed the lid open, and an orange-red flame burst out erratically, looking extremely hot.

The man closed his mouth and nose, frowned and endured the heat, poked it with a stick, and stirred it again.

Then the second feeding began, and a large amount of charcoal was added.

When the lid was lifted for the second time, one of the clansmen began to poke open the paste outlet under the small blast furnace.

I saw bits and pieces of unidentified objects begin to fall, and as the agitation progresses, more falls.

This is the pig iron that has been preliminarily restored!

Yan Zheng asked the clansmen to collect it and put it directly into the water to cool it.

It is then crushed to remove some impurities, and a very pure iron sand is obtained.

He showed Iron Sand to the leader and Wu Guomu, both of whom looked at the magical substance curiously.

Wu picked up a little and put it in his mouth, and Yan Zheng didn't stop him.

I only heard Wu hugging his cheeks and screaming in pain, hurriedly spitting out the iron sand in his mouth, and then looking at these black gadgets with a confused expression.

Yan Zheng gestured with his hand: "With these, we can make the strongest tools and weapons!" ”

The leader and the witch realized that they looked at the things that had come out of the mud with solemn faces.

They have lived for so many years and never thought that there could be so many things in the mud!

This is really a feeling of living in vain for half a lifetime!

The tribesmen were even more curious, as they never had the concept of metal in their minds.

And starting today, they have it!

Even later, they may have to deal with metal.

The iron-making continued, and several clansmen who had spent a lot of hard work were praised by Yan Zheng.

Today, they were rewarded for eating food with salt.

This is a must for people who work a lot of hard work!

Otherwise, if you don't have enough salt intake and do such a heavy and tiring job, you are likely to have insufficient salt and an electrolyte imbalance in your body.

After several tired clansmen knew about the award, Chi XX's body couldn't help but straighten, and his eyes were full of pride.

The rest of the clansmen also showed a burst of envy in their eyes.

It has been a long time since I boiled salt in urine, and these salts have been asked by Yan Zheng to be stored.

The purpose of his storage is to reward.

He wants to be in the tribe's possession of reward and punishment. He also has to establish a character with clear rewards and punishments, so that more people can serve him willingly.
