Chapter 49, Ironmaking by Misunderstanding

Thirty tons of meteoric iron sounds like a lot, but after getting it, I realized that it is not as big as the double bed where Ning Yuan slept. The only consolation is that these meteoric irons are already refined iron ingots, and Ning Yuan does not need to organize them again. It seems that Wang Ziwen's natural wonder is not simple, otherwise he might not come to Ningyuan for help.

Ning Yuan looked at the declaring war token in his hand, he really wanted to directly declare war on Wang Ziwen, and then snatch this natural wonder, but reason told him, if he really did this, then he might be notorious in Huaxia District Far away, after all, openly robbing your guildmates will be cast aside by everyone.

At that time, I am afraid that no guild will take him in anymore, and even if he snatches that natural wonder, he may not be able to keep it.

I believe that at that time, many people with a strong sense of justice will attack him endlessly, and when people find out that there are three natural wonders in his territory, big guilds like the Emperor League will also use the name of eliminating harm for the people Join in, and at that time, Ning Yuan will really be the enemy of the whole world. Once he is defeated, I am afraid that he will never be able to stand up again.

Thinking of this terrible result, Ning Yuan silently put the declaration of war token in his hand back into the storage space. Now he is fledgling and cannot withstand too much storm, so he should stay honestly in the mutual aid association.

With Meteorite, Ning Yuan was not in the mood to invade others, so he immediately organized manpower to prepare weapons.

Just now that some larger pottery can be fired in the tribe, Ning Yuan designed a set of simple blast furnace drawings by himself, and then handed them over to the pottery masters to build them.

Since the meteoric iron is already a relatively pure iron ingot, Ning Yuan's main purpose is to melt them into a liquid state, and then pour them into a pre-made mold. After the liquid iron cools and solidifies, he can get what he wants. Various utensils too.

Although Ning Yuan lacks knowledge in these areas, don’t forget that he has a civilization technology tree. He directly spent 120 scientific research points to study primary smelting, intermediate smelting, primary steel forging and intermediate steel forging. The value of scientific research is not enough, so Ning Yuan also exchanged all 48 points of war points into scientific research points. After researching these four technologies, his scientific research points are only left with 27 points.

Elementary Smelting: The efficiency of ore smelting is increased by 20%.

Intermediate Smelting Technique: The ore smelting efficiency is increased by 50%.

Elementary Iron and Steel Forging: You can make some simple tools, and your forging efficiency will increase by 20%.

Intermediate Steel Forging: With the further improvement of forging tools, the forging efficiency will increase by 50%.

After researching the four technologies, Ning Yuan led his people to mix the mud. There was no way, he really couldn’t help at the "Blast Furnace", and it would probably be a disservice to him to stay there, so in order not to affect those manufacturing Master Tao's way of thinking, he simply took people away.

And although he is not good at iron smelting, he is a veteran with mud. When he was a child, he went to the countryside, and he and his friends there grew up by the river almost every day. What did they do by the river? Nothing more than bathing, catching fish, and mud.

After ordering someone to fetch some high-quality clay, Ning Yuan started to play with his own hands. He used the clay to knead all kinds of tools, including hammers, axes, sticks,... Of course, these clay tools are all Hollow, and only half, as if split from the middle.

After all the models were dry, Ning Yuan carefully took them to the "blast furnace" that had just been built, and then surrounded the models with sand to prevent the models from being destroyed by high-temperature molten iron when the molten iron was poured into it later. Hot crack.

Since Ningyuan's current requirement is to melt meteoric iron ingots, this simple blast furnace was quickly completed, and the pottery masters transformed a clay kiln for firing pottery into a blast furnace.

As a large amount of Wujin coal began to burn and generate heat,

The temperature in the kiln was getting higher and higher, and finally Ning Yuan had to get a lot of river water. Everyone who entered and exited the kiln had to get wet before entering, and they couldn't stay in it for too long. time.

"boom."

As the temperature continued to rise, the furnace body used to hold the meteorite was directly burned, and the first iron smelting was declared a failure.

After the temperature in the kiln dropped a bit, Ning Yuan went in to check the situation himself.

He found that the pottery furnace body had been completely burnt to pieces, and the meteoric iron inside had fallen onto the burning Ujin coal. Although the meteorite did not melt into a liquid state as Ning Yuan imagined, but because of the high temperature emitted by the Ujin coal, They were still burning red.

Ning Yuan poked it with a wooden stick and found that although the meteorites hadn't melted, they were in a very soft state like a sponge.

Seeing this change, Ning Yuan hurriedly ordered someone to fetch some wooden tools, and got these spongy meteorites out of the fire, and then he ignored the heat of the meteorites, and directly fiddled with the spongy meteorites with a stone ax In the shape of a hammer.

After pouring water to cool it, a very ugly hammer was made.

After trying the feel of the hammer, Ning Yuan simply asked people to make hammers from the remaining spongy meteorites. In this way, the first iron smelting of the Condor Tribe produced a lot of iron by accident. hammer.

Although the hammer was ready, but because the shape was not very regular, the surface of the hammer was not very smooth, so next, Ning Yuan issued an order to the strong fighters to sharpen the hammer collectively. Take it to a hard rock and grind it until the hammer surface is smoothed.

Ning Yuan had to find another way to do this. The stove was cracked, and it was obvious that the pottery could not withstand such a high temperature, so he had nothing to do in a short time.

However, the appearance of sponge iron made him see the light again. As long as the first batch of hammers are ground out, he can use these hammers to beat the sponge iron into various shapes. was born.

In this way, those strong and strong Condor warriors grinded for a whole day and a half before grinding out the hammer surface that met Ning Yuan's requirements.

Although it was a three-person shift, repeating an action back and forth still made these soldiers very tired, but this time they were not without gains. During the grinding process, they at least knew what kind of stone was more suitable. Used to grind iron, Ning Yuan thinks that those stones may be stones such as whetstones.

With a qualified iron hammer, Ning Yuan began to organize manpower to make iron weapons.

Since there is currently no professional talent in this field in the tribe, Ning Yuan temporarily gave up making weapons that require relatively high craftsmanship such as swords. He had people beat the semi-liquefied sponge iron into the shape of a stick, and finally created a meteor iron stick about 1.8 meters long and as thick as a baby's wrist.

Although the surface of this meteorite iron rod is not very smooth, it is at least strong enough, and its weight of about 30 jin can just exert the brute force of the Condor Warriors.

After trying the feel, Ning Yuan felt that it was much stronger than the stone axe, and it was inch-long and inch-long. This kind of long weapon was also more powerful in battle.

An iron bar weighs about 30 jin. Ten tons of iron bars add up to 20,000 jin. About 660 iron bars can be made, and 1320 iron bars are 20 tons, just enough to arm a powerful army.

As for the remaining few tons of iron and iron, let those "blacksmiths" tinker with them. If they want to successfully forge swords, they must have something to practice with.
