Chapter 28 Making Iron Tools (1)

Iron smelting began.

Xu Haoxuan first lit the fire with dry leaves, and after the fire started, he added 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 into pieces and wrapped it in mud.

He also made a homemade thing similar to a blower, and kept turning the rod, which quickly increased the temperature in the blast furnace many times.

When the temperature in the stove was high enough, Xu Haoxuan added the mud balls wrapped with 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 inside, trying to smelt the iron.

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

Xu Haoxuan had an idea. After all, he lived by the water. This river obviously has different terrains. Therefore, it is not difficult to build a water-powered machine using such terrain, at least for those who crawl in the apocalypse.

Xu Haoxuan who has rolled is commonplace.

Xu Haoxuan relied on his brute strength and agility to quickly knock down several big trees and get some bamboo aside.

He first used several pieces of dead tree to make a tripod, and used a piece of fallen old bark to make a water diversion channel.

However, such a diversion channel can only be placed in the river, not on the bank.

Xu Haoxuan picked up the shovel. The shovel was made of interstellar elements and 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 a thick piece of wood and used a shovel to dig a deep and long trench in the middle of the wood.

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

He cut the bamboo into pieces and made a bearing and roller.

Bamboo is a very friendly plant to people. As long as you burn it 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 it has fan blades, the power source is the newly made water diversion channel.

After the water from the water tank was led over, it continuously fell on the bearing of the blower, and the fan blades of the blower continued to rotate, and the fire in the blast furnace became even more intense.

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

The temperature of the earthen blast furnace is very high, so molten iron will be produced directly.

Xu Haoxuan had already prepared his only pot, which he used to collect molten iron under the blast furnace.

When molten iron cools, it solidifies easily.

So, while Xu Haoxuan was lighting the fire, he used 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. The viewers in the live broadcast room drank several more tubes of nutrient solution than before.

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

Regardless of the burning of a large basket of iron ore, there are actually a lot of impurities in it, and very little iron can actually be obtained.

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

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

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