I signed in the wilderness for 100 days

Chapter 28 Making Ironware (1)

Started to smelt iron.

Xu Haoxuan first lit the fire with dry leaves, and when the fire started, he put in the previously burned charcoal.

While the charcoal was burning, Xu Haoxuan brought over the basket containing the iron ore.He made mud on the spot, crushed the ore and wrapped it in mud.

He also made something similar to a blower, and kept turning the rod, which quickly increased the temperature inside the clay blast furnace many times.

When the temperature in the stove was enough, Xu Haoxuan added the mud balls wrapped in iron ore into it.

I added a lot of charcoal to it, and while adding it, I turned the blower by hand to blow air into it, trying to smelt the iron.

But such wind power is not enough for a tall clay blast furnace.

Xu Haoxuan had an idea, anyway, he lives by the water.This river obviously has different terrain heights, so it is not difficult to build a water-powered machine with such terrain, at least it is common for Xu Haoxuan who has been struggling in the last days.

Relying on his brute strength and agility, Xu Haoxuan quickly brought down several big trees and got some bamboos aside.

He first made a tripod out of several sections of dead trees, and used a piece of old bark that fell off as a water diversion tank.

But such a water diversion tank can only be placed in the river, not on the bank.

Xu Haoxuan picked up the shovel, the shovel made of interstellar elements was very hard, he easily cut off a complete piece of wood with the shovel, and there was no problem with the shovel in his hand.

This saved Xu Haoxuan a lot of effort.

He took the thick wood and dug a deep and long groove in the middle of the wood with a shovel.

After setting up another tripod, Xu Haoxuan put the water diversion tank on it and connected it.

He sliced ​​the bamboo into pieces and made a bearing and a roller.

Bamboo is a very friendly plant, as long as it is burned on the fire, it will become soft.Then people can do whatever they want with them.

Xu Haoxuan quickly made a simple blower, anyway, as long as there are fan blades, the power is the newly made water diversion tank.

After the water from the water tank was brought in, it continuously fell onto the bearings of the blower, and the blades of the blower continued to rotate, making the fire in the blast furnace even more prosperous.

Xu Haoxuan dug another ditch, and the diverted water flowed back into the ditch, which can be regarded as the recycling of water resources.

The temperature of the soil blast furnace is very high, so it will directly produce molten iron.

Xu Haoxuan had already prepared his only pot, which was used to connect molten iron under the clay blast furnace.

When molten iron cools, it is easy to solidify.

Therefore, Xu Haoxuan took advantage of the time of burning the fire to use the soft soil to draw several shapes and patterns, and then hollowed out the inside.

Lunch was roasted rabbit legs, which made Xu Haoxuan's mouth full of oil, and the audience in the live broadcast room drank a few more tubes of nutrient solution than before.

After lunch, he rested for a while. It was estimated that the time was almost up, so Xu Haoxuan waited in front of the blast furnace.

Regardless of the large basket of iron ore that was burnt, there are actually a lot of impurities in it, and the iron that can really be obtained is very little.

But Xu Haoxuan didn't care, he didn't expect to create anything in this way.

Soon, the molten iron began to flow outside. Fortunately, Yang Ming was already waiting there.

She took a lot of molten iron in a pan and poured it into a mold on the ground.
