Chapter 158: This compensation is still satisfied
Thinking that you were poor and prepared everything, Mu Heng began to make iron. Looking at the originally green garden, almost filled with hematite, Mu Heng also fell into deep contemplation.
How many people have you called out to go to mining because you are poor, this looks like a hill.
Looking at the dense disciples of the Demon Cloud Sect around him, Mu Heng was originally very calm, and he became a little nervous. It seems that everyone has a very high enthusiasm for ironmaking.
Back to business, Mu Heng first used clay and water, and mud along with the broken grass. Of course, with so much free labor, there is no need for Mu Heng to do it at all.
This clay is used to build a blast furnace and to raise the temperature of the flame. The grass inside is used to strengthen the blast furnace and prevent it from cracking at high temperatures.
As an activist, you are poor, but you take the lead, and a few disciples with nimble hands and feet are busy. During the construction process, Mu Heng arranged for several people to burn the fire in time to speed up the hardening of the clay and facilitate the formation of the clay at the bottom to carry the weight of the upper part.
There is a lot of strength in people, but in just three hours, a clay steelmaking furnace in Mu Heng's imagination appeared in front of everyone. I think you are poor looking at the two-person-high, three-foot-wide cylindrical clay stove that has been built, and you can't help but sigh and open your eyes.
On the other side, a few people shouted to take a few baskets of hematite, beat it, and sift it, trying to grind the ore finely.
The steelmaking furnace is there, the raw materials are there, and the next step is to start steelmaking.
Mu Heng rolled up his sleeves, continued to add charcoal to burn the fire more vigorously, picked up a few pieces of limestone and threw them into the furnace, and by the way, shoveled a dustpan of mineral powder into the furnace, and began the great cause of ironmaking, opening the door for the human race to move towards the Iron Age.
Charcoal is used as a reducing agent, and incidentally provides the heat energy needed for chemical reactions. Originally, it was necessary to use coke, but at this time, it is estimated that it will not be available, so I have to use the first layer of charcoal instead.
The limestone added is to reduce the melting point of silica in the ore and facilitate the removal of silicon impurities.
"Here you come!" Mu Heng beckoned to Ningwa, who had discovered the hematite.
"What does Childe command?" Ning Wa was ordered by Mu Heng and was very happy. Everyone knows that Mu Heng seems to be a very good friend of the sect master, and he does not hesitate to let him use the sect's supreme treasure meteorite, if he can leave a good impression in Mu Heng's heart, maybe he will be able to get the sect master's appreciation.
"Come, help me get the wind up." Mu Heng pointed to the very old-looking bellows spread on the ground and said.
"Howler." Ning Wa hurriedly picked up the bellows and began to quickly blow air into the blast furnace, accelerating the fire to add to the fire.
Liu Qingshu watched Mu Heng mingle with the disciples of the Demon Sect, and secretly enjoyed in his heart. Although she was the sect master, Mu Heng seemed to have become the focus of the field, and everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Heng and his blast furnace.
"Childe, can you make meteorite iron in this way?" Liu Qingshu walked up to Mu Heng and asked with some uncertainty.
"Of course." Mu Heng has a full grasp of ironmaking.
"Hum!" As the flame burns, the hematite is constantly being reduced. The hematite, which was less than five catties, was refined in only half an hour. The clay blast furnace flashed a glimmer of light, and then Mu Heng's exclamation was heard: "It's done!"
Mu Heng's cry immediately captured everyone's hearts, and they all stared at the blast furnace intently, wanting to witness the moment when Mu Heng created a miracle.
Mu Heng looked at the blast furnace and was a little difficult. It stands to reason that he should lie down and take out the smelted pig iron from the gap at the bottom, but in front of Liu Qing's writing, such an action is too embarrassing. Thinking about it, in order to maintain a good image, Mu Heng went to the side to find a stone and smashed it into the blast furnace. "Boom.. Boom.." Mu Heng's tapping left and right seemed to be beating on people's heartbeats, and a very tense atmosphere was created in the entire back garden.
The clay slowly became crushed as Mu Heng continued to knock it. Mu Heng used a wooden stick to knock and rummage back and forth in the final slag, trying to determine the location of the finished product.
"When!" A different voice came into his ears, and the corners of Mu Heng's mouth grinned, and he secretly said in his heart: I found you.
The iron was slowly pulled out by Mu Heng with a wooden stick, and the strange object that was half gray and half red did not look like anything
Something special. Of course, this is only the case with the eyes to see.
"Sure enough, there is a strong golden aura!" I thought you were making the iron out of the oven, and you never left the ordinary iron that looked at it. Carefully comprehending the concentration of aura on it, it was not weaker than the previous extraterrestrial meteorite.
"It's really an extraterrestrial meteorite. No, it's exactly the same as the extraterrestrial meteorite." Staring at this piece of iron that seems to be small, but is actually rare, countless questions flashed in your heart, and more were surprised.
Liu Qingshu also has a mysterious smile on his face, and Childe can always surprise people inadvertently.
"Shhhh Without waiting for Mu Heng to introduce again, you couldn't wait to look at the pig iron, and couldn't help but want to pick it up and observe it carefully, but you forgot to use the aura to isolate the temperature, and you were burned sincerely.
"Look, it's really an extraterrestrial meteorite." The disciples in the back were just as poor as they thought you were poor, and they all clearly felt the breath of meteoric iron.
"Let's go, get closer."
"It's really an extraterrestrial meteorite."
"Just burn it like this, you can refine the extraterrestrial meteoric iron, and the shepherd is really a god!"
"But it's not, if it's not an ordinary person, how can it be favored by the sect master."
Although it is also wonderful to use human power to refine meteoric iron, it is dwarfed by the person who smelted meteoric iron. Except for Liu Qingshu, everyone looked at Mu Heng with the eyes of a monster, and they really didn't believe that meteorite was so easily refined, so simple that it could be operated by mortals.
"Brother Xian, don't you also know how to refine weapons?" I think you're poor and it's hard to wait for the meteorite, and he wondered.
"Where, the younger brother has not learned to refine weapons, and he can refine this meteoric iron, and he just happens to know the principle here." It was inconvenient for Mu Heng to tell him the chemical knowledge he had learned in his previous life, so he could only explain it perfunctorily.
"That's right, even a ninth-grade refiner can't refine meteoric iron." I shook my head and said in self-denial.
Liu Qingshu has long been accustomed to what a capable person like Mu Heng can't do, and he likes him because of this, looking at a simple and simple young man, the secrets on his body are as vast as a sea of smoke, and he has to make Liu Qingshu have the desire to find out.
"Although I don't know how to refine weapons, I can still do it with simple tapping." Mu Heng replied with a smile.
"Ding!" A resounding sound resounded in the ears of the three of them.
Liu Qingshu, who has experienced it several times, understands in his heart that this is a precursor to God's blessing. Looking up at the sky, the white and flawless clouds rolled and slowly gathered into a pleasing cloud of auspicious clouds.
"What is this?" I think you have never experienced it, so you are very curious about the auspicious clouds above your head.
Mu Heng looked at the sky puzzled, could it be that if he smelted iron himself, he could also be favored by God? If you think about it carefully, the birth of iron indicates the advent of the Iron Age, and society will make great strides forward because of this, which is indeed a merit.
Although he also stood on the shoulders of his predecessors, here he is a pioneer.
Familiar recipes, familiar tastes. The auspicious clouds once again shone out of Guan Hui, infusing Mu Heng with a wisp of merit.
Seeing that the back of Mu Heng's head was slightly glowing with golden light, everyone couldn't wait to bow and worship, gods, nothing more than that.
The previous three merits have been transferred to Ye Qingyin by Mu Heng, and now because of the iron smelting, he has obtained another merit.
Before, Liu Qingshu was still deliberately teasing himself with merits, but now that he has merit again, he has to find an opportunity to transfer it to Liu Qingshu.
The reason why I think so is mainly because I have always been kind to her, and it is rare to have a return gift that I can handle, and Mu Heng does not feel distressed at all. In addition, Mu Heng also unconsciously regarded Liu Qingshu as his own person, there are good things, and she must have a share.
"Brother Xian, what's going on?" I thought you were poor and waited for all the auspicious clouds to dissipate before you came back to your senses and asked.
"It's merit." Mu Heng said bluntly.
"I see. I've only seen these two words in the ancient texts of the sect, but I've never experienced them myself." I thought you were poor and looked at Mu Heng with some red eyes, I hope that I can have such a blessed fate.
"That's it!" Mu Heng was not there
Yi said that he had experienced it four times, and he was no stranger. And according to my own guess, there may be more in the future, because the knowledge in my mind is too much more than this era.
"The virtuous brother has refined this iron and has been bestowed merit by the heavens, and this is well deserved." I thought you were poor and quickly changed your thinking, and you have no chance to get merit, but isn't it your own blessing to get merit. He has always been stupid, but suddenly he naturally praised Mu Heng.
"The poor big brother praised it falsely." Mu Heng said modestly.
"It's not an exaggeration to be a brother. Brother Xian doesn't know, Brother Xian has now refined this iron, at a small level, Brother Xian will change the status quo of the entire cultivation realm, and at a large level, it will change the status of our human race in the entire world." I thought you were poor when you saw Mu Heng speak, so he put down his raised foot again, and said in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Is that exaggerated?" Mu Heng was a little skeptical.
"That's true, Gongzi has smelted iron, and he has great merit and cultivation realm, and even the entire human race. From now on, the immortal sword of my human race will not be limited by materials, and I can refine as much as I want." Liu Qingshu replied with a light smile.
Her heart was unexpectedly happy at the moment. Her own man shows extraordinary talents, which is her best cosmetics as a woman.
His strength has never been in cultivation and strength.
"Poor helmsman, have you written down every step of Childe just now?" Liu Qingshu didn't want to continue so many people gathered here, and asked if he was poor with you.
"Back to the sect master, my subordinates remember." I think you are poor and still immersed in Mu Heng's joy, and I don't understand what your own sect master means.
"Then arrange for people to compile the refining method into a book, and learn it widely in the rudder." Liu Qingshu then commanded.
"Obey the orders of the Sect Master."
"In addition, we can start refining this iron on a large scale, expand the refining of various grades of immortal swords, and increase the strength of my Demon Cloud Sect." Liu Qingshu turned his mind and made another request.
"Yes, Sect Master."
"Also, this refining method is limited to the inner disciples in the rudder to learn and use, and no one is allowed to pass it on, otherwise it will be unfavorable to blame the Immortal Sword of this seat." Liu Qingshu said, suddenly his face turned cold, and he said menacingly.
Everyone came to their senses at this moment, and they were not acting too casually in front of the sect master just now. One by one, they were silent and did not dare to say more.
"Poor big brother, can you still be satisfied with this compensation, little brother?" Mu Heng asked, which can be regarded as the end of the meteorite matter.
