Chapter 3 Ironmaking
"The furnace for ironmaking must be prepared in advance, and there is also charcoal for ironmaking."
Fang Bai looked at the planned schedule and immediately went online and prepared to work.
But as soon as it was launched, I immediately gasped.
"Shhh
The soreness in his muscles came up instantly, and Fang Bai eased up for a while before he got used to it a little.
"It hurts."
Fang Bai grinned in pain, ate a little fruit and water left over from yesterday, endured the pain, first untied some twine from his clothes, and arranged a dozen or so bird catching nooses with the method he had just learned yesterday.
After arranging, go to the area where the clay was found before, sift the suitable clay little by little according to the requirements of the guide, and then grind the clay into fine powder with stones, stir in some crumpled fine grass stalks, pour water, and then leave it alone and let it ripen by itself.
After mixing the clay, Bai Bai walked into the forest with a stone axe in his hand.
He didn't have much fruit left, and he had to prepare a lot of wood to make charcoal for ironmaking.
It's just that Fang Bai frowned slightly as soon as he entered the forest, the soreness of his muscles was even more obvious when he walked in the dense forest, and the impact was even greater
"Forget it, adjust the time, do something first, it should be about to rise to level two."
Fang Bai turned around and returned to the improvised shelter and began to make stone axes, stone hammers, simple stone daggers, and simple wire wrappers, one by one, and when the seventh item was made, there was a soft sound in his ears.
"Drop, system prompt: gain 1 XP."
"Drop, system prompt: Level up."
Fang Bai felt a warm current emerge from inside his body, and where the warm current passed, the soreness disappeared without a trace.
"Upgraded."
Fang Bai's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the properties panel.
"Name: Fang Bai."
"Level: Level 2."
"XP: 0/20"
"Strength: 12."
"Trick: 6."
"Speed: 4."
"Constitution: 14."
"Armor: 2."
"Resistance: 1."
"The strength has increased a little bit, and the physique has increased a little bit."
It's convenient to clench your fists, and it seems that the strength seems to have increased a lot, and I don't know if it's an illusion.
But the recovery of the whole body state could not be faked, feeling the abundant physical strength, without hesitation, directly picked up the stone axe and went into the forest.
During the day, he fell, divided, and clayed, and burned plant ashes, and at night he made all kinds of wooden and stone tools.
If you can't, you can go online to check online, and after querying, you will practice it over and over again in the fantasy space, once you won't do it twice, if you won't do it twice, if you can't do it ten times, you will do it a hundred times.
When he took the trouble to do something a hundred or even hundreds of times, Fang Bai was basically proficient.
As time passed, this corner of the deposit was changing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Today there is an extra stove here, tomorrow there is an extra pile of charcoal, and the day after tomorrow there is some crushed ore next to it.
Eight days passed in the blink of an eye, and there were several earthen ovens with different degrees of wetness and dryness, a large pile of charcoal, a large pile of crushed ore, and a large pile of plant ash.
Fang Bai, who had just gone online, went directly to the first furnace, the two-meter-high clay furnace had been completely dried, and the yellow walls were full of tiny grass stalks.
After rehearsing dozens of times in the fantasy space, Fang Bai officially began to work.
First, a hole was made under the furnace, and then the dead branches in the furnace were pulled out little by little, and the last part of the furnace that could not be extracted was directly burned with a fire.
The flame completely dried the last shred of moisture in the furnace, and Fang Bai made a hole in the furnace as he recalled the content of the post.
"It is said that such an opening allows the gods to look inside the furnace and provide divine blessings for smelting?"
"The post is right, the locals who use this method are very cruel to the gods."
During smelting, both hot and toxic fumes are ejected from this hole above.
"Hopefully their gods don't have smoky eyes."
Fang Bai muttered as he perfected his furnace, and the movements in his hands were very skillful.
It didn't take long for the furnace to be completely completed, and the fly in the ointment was that the furnace did not have a bellows.
"I hope the temperature is enough, it should be enough."
Fang Bai glanced at the properties panel.
"Drop, system prompt: Successfully build a furnace and gain 2 experience."
"It's harder to get experience points again, otherwise it's definitely more than two experiences."
Through this period of exploration, Fang Bai also understood a little bit about the acquisition of experience points.
The more difficult and complex it is, the more experience you get, and the higher the level, the more difficult it is to get experience, but the exact amount of variation is unknown.
Fang Bai closed the message bar and looked at the attribute panel, his attributes had also changed a lot in the past eight days.
"Name: Fang Bai."
"Level: Level 4."
"XP: 33/40"
"Strength: 13."
"Tip: 7."
"Speed: 4."
"Constitution: 15."
"Armor: 2."
"Resistance: 1."
Strength, skill, and physique have increased by one point respectively, and the strength of 13 points and the constitution of 15 points have greatly improved Fang Bai's strength, endurance, and resistance, especially the resistance.....
Fang Bai retracted his gaze, first piled aside the mixture of crushed charcoal and crushed ore grass and wood ash prepared in advance, and then lit some charcoal at the bottom of the furnace.
"Hopefully it will be successful one time."
Fang Bai said softly, alternately pouring layers of charcoal, layers of ore and grass ash mixture from the top of the furnace as he spoke.
After pouring, Fang Bai took a simple fan and fanned against the air outlet reserved for the furnace.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Under the influx of fresh air, the charcoal quickly turned red and burned, and it was not long before a red and cyan flame ignited, making a whirring sound inside the furnace.
Fanning, adding charcoal, ore, fanning....
The long-term fan was very tiring, and Fang Bai was under a lot of pressure, but in order to ensure the temperature in the furnace, Fang Bai didn't dare to take too long even if he rested, and stopped for a few minutes before fanning it again.
"Fortunately, my highest attribute is physique, and my endurance and recovery ability are much stronger, otherwise I would definitely not be able to stand it."
From the beginning of the morning to the beginning of the day, Fang Bai's two arms were as heavy as if they were covered with iron scales.
And it wasn't until he saw the first stream of liquid slag flowing from the bottom of the furnace that Fang Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's done!"
"I don't know how much experience I can get from making iron for the first time."
"Level 10 should be able to change jobs, right? I'm almost level five! ”
Fang Bai's face showed a touch of joy, his heavy hands poured out another burst of strength, and the speed of the fan was much faster.
Whew! Whew! Whew! Whew!
The flames roared, as if guests were coming from afar.
After another period of time, Fang Bai dropped the fan, the flame in the furnace was extinguished, and when he opened the disposable furnace, when he turned out a piece of "sponge iron" full of gaps and holes from the bottom of the furnace, a system prompt sounded in his ears.
"Drop, system prompt: ......."
