After the liquid bronze entered the mold, it was not a cooling and solidification that could be done in an instant, and it would take a little time, in this little time, Zhou Ran hurriedly took the time to take a look at the situation of the earthen furnace, but the earthen furnace was just like he thought, basically there was no need to save, just now he continued to continuously input hot internal gas into the two places, and the body of the earthen furnace had been destroyed.

The blackened place is not only the two handprints, except for these two handprints, the part around the earthen furnace has basically turned into a charred black inside, the only thing that still remains intact is the thin layer of the outside, as long as you gently scrape off the outer layer of yellow-brown soil with a stone or fingers, what is revealed is the pitch-black inside.

Yes, the earthen stove that was finally made is considered to be scrapped, but Zhou Ran didn't pay too much attention to it, he took care of this earthen furnace so carefully before, just to see if the earthen furnace made by this method can be used.

But now it seems that if it works, then it is not a big problem. Next, as long as he continues to make a large number of earthen furnaces according to this step, even if he destroys an earthen furnace every time he melts the liquid bronze, it doesn't matter, anyway, he will be able to continue to make them in the future.

Stretching his waist hard, Zhou Ran slapped him directly, and the remaining mixed internal qi turned into an external energy similar to a shock wave, directly turning the completely destroyed earth furnace into flying ashes.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows, he didn't make much of a move just now, according to his thoughts, this slap would at most knock this earthen furnace into pieces, but he didn't expect it to be burned so badly.

Especially those bricks made by himself, don't look at the simplicity of these bricks, but the heat resistance should still be good, and now those bricks that have not withstood too much impact because they are relatively inward and downward, although they still look intact on the outside, but as long as they put their fingers on it, with a slight force, they will crack from it, and then turn into slag.

Nodding clearly, Zhou Ran felt that when he was making an earthen stove next, he should be able to improve it from bricks or other places, after all, this earthen stove is to put it bluntly, the most important inner part is this brick, and the outer layer of soil is actually just a wrapping and protective role to ensure that these bricks will not be eroded from the outside.

"It's a problem, if you want to strengthen the bricks, you have to use firing and other methods, and bricks like mine that are made by air-drying are still a little inferior in terms of heat resistance." If it is a fired blue and red brick, even if I use internal gas to pour it into it and burn the metal, I am afraid that there will not be too much of a problem. ’

At this time, when Zhou Ran came back, he turned his head to see that the liquid bronze injected into the three molds had all solidified, and he raised his hand to smash the soil on the outside of these metal utensils, and took out three things from them, which were made of bronze, the blade of the long sword, the blade of the long knife and the axe part of the axe.

It's just that it has only been forcibly solidified by the mold, so these appliances only reveal the basic shape, and they are still not very good in terms of sharpness, and there are a lot of burrs, and they need to be further polished.

This is not a problem for Zhou Ran, he really has no experience in forging, and he has not even obtained skills, but he still barely has a little level in terms of craftsmanship, just polishing the identification and appearance of the weapon is not a problem.

It only took two hours of work for Zhou Ran to get these three tools, oh, a large part of the time was spent on what kind of tools to polish, and it didn't take too long to polish itself.

After everything is done, the three weapons that are assembled with other components are newly baked, and by the way, the axe is a special thing, as long as it is not a rare type, most of them can be used as both tools and weapons.

Wielding the bronze knife in his hand, Zhou Ran nodded, only to see that he used a set of knife techniques, and then flashed, and the long knife in his hand slashed straight across an ironwood statue he had made not long ago.

With the blessing of his internal qi, the bronze long knife showed a sharpness that should have been stronger than him, and the ironwood statue that was comparable to ordinary metal was cut in half without even being able to stop it for a moment, destroying a small statuette, Zhou Ran didn't feel distressed, he took back the bronze long knife and looked at it carefully, the blade of the long knife was slightly curled, but it was not serious.

Sure enough, bronze is a little worse in terms of edge strength and durability, and its main advantage should be focused on resistance. ’

That's right, among many ordinary metals, bronze's resistance can be regarded as very high, and the resistance here does not refer to the defensive ability, but the resistance to special states, including elemental damage, corrosion damage, toxic damage, etc.

And the three weapons that have been forged by Zhou Ran are all just desolate, of course, they all have some pretty good characteristics, such as the characteristic of this long knife is sharpness +2.

Don't underestimate this simple +2, in weapons and defense, sharpness, durability and these attributes +1, +2 refers to the addition of simple values, each plus point is equal to an increase of 20% in the basic attributes, that is to say, when a single attribute reaches +5, its single attribute has reached a degree of doubling compared to the regular attribute.

And +2 is to make this bronze long knife sharp, which is 140% of the normal bronze long knife, which is basically comparable to ordinary pig iron or even wrought iron weapons.

Inject put away this long knife, it was also a desolate weapon, and this bronze long knife forged by himself was not only easy to use, but also sharper than the blue long knife he had found in the warehouse before.

He decided to use this bronze long knife as a replacement for the time being until he found a new weapon that fits, and he left the long sword to Liu Qingkong, and he threw the axe into the warehouse, and if anyone wanted it, just watch him get it.

After doing this, Zhou Ran ran back to the river again and began another journey to make an earthen stove, but this time he did not make an earthen furnace first, but burned the bricks first.

After solving the problem of bricks, he made a simple modification according to the previous method, there was no major problem with the appearance of the earthen furnace before, and the internal structure was okay, but after experiencing the last refining and being damaged, he felt that the thickness should be increased appropriately.
