Chapter 94: Casting in Progress (2)
This soil method is very simple and crude, and there will be a lot of leftovers when it is naturally made.
However, Nuan Nuan is already very satisfied.
Pick up the chisel and she needs to polish it again.
I found a piece of flat and round sandstone at random, and Nuan Nuan began to polish it, again and again.
From time to time, rinse the slurry with water, and then continue to polish until the flat end is polished by hand and is smooth and reflective, very sharp.
To remove iron offcuts, you can only use a hammer and chisel to knock them off.
Take the handle of the hammer, a cooked wooden stick, insert it into the middle of the hammer to leave a gap, and knock it hard, and the finished product of a hammer is completed!
With a bang, Nuan Nuan placed the iron pickaxe full of leftovers on the flat stone ground, and began to knock off those rough edges one by one with a chisel and a hammer.
It is then sanded, and finally the polished iron pickaxe is inserted into the wooden handle.
Nuan Nuan looked at her works and was very satisfied with her feelings, what did this force her to be~
"Girl, what are you doing?"
The two uncles looked very curious, and seeing that she was finally not busy, they couldn't help but lean up and ask.
"It's called a hammer.
This one is called an iron pickaxe, also called a cross pickaxe.
This is a chisel. They are very versatile tools. β
"Tools?"
"Yes. These can be used to dig up the ore in the cave, which can be used to refine the metal again, and then forge new toolbox weapons. β
"I said it, maybe you still don't understand, I'll show you. β
Nuan Nuan knew that they couldn't understand it with mining tools alone, so Nuan Nuan continued to work hard and prepared to make another iron plate axe and iron dagger.
With the experience of the pickaxe, these two things are not difficult to warm the water, but you need to take the time to refine the iron in the iron ore in advance!
Nuan Nuan took a hammer and a pickaxe to the cave wall covered with rough iron ore and began to wield the pickaxe.
Again and again, the tinkling sound of the iron striking the ore was very crisp.
After a while, the iron ore wall in front of him was loosened, and Nuan Nuan was replaced by a hammer, and after a few more slams, the iron ore fell in response.
"Nuan Nuan, I'm coming, you can rest for a while!"
Lei snatched the tool in her hand, "Leave this kind of thing to the old man, you just rest and wait to get it!" Chuan Le said.
"Hmm!" Nuan Nuan stuck out her tongue, she was quite happy.
"Nuan Nuan, this tool is really good!"
Ray's eyes flashed, looking at the pickaxe in his hand, he seemed to understand something, and he swung it more and more.
Through the cooperation of Lei and Chuan, a lot of iron ore was quickly piled up on the ground.
Nuan Nuan has begun to refine.
With a successful experience, this time it was much faster, and when it was dark, Nuan Nuan looked at the sharp dagger and the big axe in her hand, and happily handed it to Abba to show them.
Ray rubbed the sharp dagger in his hand,
"Hiss~"
His rough calloused hands were scratched!
Spilled bright red blood.
"Abba!"
"I'm fine, that's all?"
Nuan Nuan smiled.
"Brother Chuan, let's go outside and try these two weapons!" said Ray excitedly.
Nuan Nuan didn't care about them, she still had to continue casting,
She promised Mo to make him a dagger.
Carefully pour the molten iron into the mold, wait for it to solidify, then carefully take it out, fix it with a bamboo clip, and start beating it with a hammer.
Nuan Nuan thought about it, although the cast is also a dagger, but if you use the hot iron to hammer the dagger, the hammer will be tougher and sharper, isn't it better?
Every time you beat for a while, Nuan Nuan put the dagger into the furnace and then burn it red.
Take it out again and strike the iron, burn it again, and beat it again!
Finally, after a long time of polishing, a very delicate and sharp fine iron dagger is ready!
The handles are all made of iron and have been polished to become very sleek.
Nuan Nuan carefully wrapped it and put it away.
After a while, Lei and Chuan returned!
There were also several clan elders and elders with excited faces.
"Patriarch, we really like this weapon! Do you think we can do it ourselves and make a few more sets?"
"Yes, you have seen the casting process just now, and I have explained it in detail, you can try it yourself. β
Nuan Nuan grinned, just as she wished.
"Clan elders, you must be careful about the temperature of the furnace when you arrange for someone to do it, and don't take it directly with your hands, otherwise your hands will burn out!
You must have passed the cold water before you can touch it directly!"
Nuan Nuan's uneasy advice.
"I'll go back to dinner first, and I'll come back tomorrow.
We still have a lot to do!"
"Okay, we'll wait for you tomorrow~"
Nuan Nuan left the foundry cave in a very comfortable mood.
In fact, in the process of forging, Nuan Nuan thought of another idea.
Clay.
Clay can be used to burn pottery!
On top of that, the caves are ready-made and can be cultivated directly in the furnace.
Tomorrow, she's going to do a few experiments to see if she can actually make good pottery!
Thinking about it, Nuan Nuan stepped back to her wooden house at night.
The lights were already on in the room, and Mo was cooking and eating with the residual heat of the bath.
Looks like he just came back and took a shower.
"Amo, I'm back~"
"Warm!"
His eyes lit up, and after intensive training, his strength had made a breakthrough again, and he was very happy.
"Look! What is this?"
Nuan Nuan took out the gift wrapped in fur and shook it deliberately in front of his eyes.
Mo hooked his lips and hugged Nuan Nuan, "As long as you send it, I like it." β
"Don't make a fuss~ Open it and take a look. Nuan Nuan grinned.
"This γγγ the dagger you said?"
"Well, it's sharp! and it's very hard!"
Mo looked at the delicate dagger in his hand, his eyes flashed faintly, warming herγγγ
After all this time, she still remembers her promise.
"Do you like it?"
Ah Mo leaned sideways and hugged Nuan Nuan's body, lowered his head and leaned over, and took a mouthful of Nuan Nuan's cherry lipsγγγγγ
Don't say anything, he's really impressed.
The two were inseparably entangled for a long time, Nuan Nuan panted and broke away, aggrieved, "I'm hungry~"
Mo Qiang endured the mania in his heart, and couldn't help laughing, his little wife~~
"Come and eat, it's all done. β
"Okay!"
Mo took Nuan Nuan's hand and pulled her into the living room of the wooden house.
"You've been doing this all afternoon?"
"Yes~ Abba and Uncle Chuan are also there, and I have taught them. β
"However, there is more than this dagger, the material is not only this iron, there are many other ores, and there are so many things that can be made. β
"I have to go tomorrow~"
"It's been three days since the training camp, and in two days, I'll have to pick some elites to form my ideal attack team!
"How many people do you want?"
"Wellγγγ no more than ten. People are not more about being fine.
It's best for everyone to be one for ten, so that they can become the strongest cornerstone of the tribe. β
"I understand what you said, I'll tell the other two, help you pick and pay attention. β
"It's still the best for me!~"
"Eat quickly, don't just talk, the food is going to be cold!"
Nuan Nuantu stuck out her tongue and grimaced.
It is really inconvenient to eat with a bamboo bowl every day, and the first thing tomorrow is to burn a pair of pots and pans of pottery, and Nuan Nuan secretly swears.
