At the beginning of the game, go to a deserted island with the Immortal Cultivation System to surviv

Chapter 39 Bronze Knife
Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly had a feeling that his Sky Eye skills seemed to have been upgraded.

I still remember that my Sky Eye skill was once improved by "Hundred Alchemy" and reached the point of "first glimpse".Because of this improvement, he was so convenient when searching on the deserted island.After such a long time of use, it is very likely that the skill level of Tianyan has improved.Otherwise, you can't explain why you didn't see this bird's nest before, but today you see the spiritual power emanating from the bird's nest.

Just as he was thinking, Wang De had already come down from the tree, holding a large handful of dried meat in his hand.

"Look! It weighs almost twenty catties! What kind of bird is this? Can it steal so much meat at once? How big is it that it can handle it?"

Zhang Xiaoqiang glanced at the sky.Pointing and said.

"That's right! It's that big! Brother, what kind of bird is that? It seems to be...a crow?"

Seeing the jerky in Wang De's hand, the big black bird made a hasty and angry cry, and then hovered over their heads.

Looking at this big bird, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt inexplicably a little familiar, because it looked so much like the crow he had summoned.Exactly the same!

Wang De glanced at it.

"That? That's a raven! You can also call it a fat-headed bird! Anyway, it's a pretty powerful bird! Look at its head, then it's the one who stole the meat! You're right to say it's a crow! It is the biggest of all the crows! Look at it, it can spread more than one meter with its wings! I'll go!"

Just as he was talking, the raven dropped a poop of bird droppings in the air!It was falling on Wang De.

"Oh? You dare to sneak attack me? You wait for me to make a bow and arrow!"

Wang De said, pulled Xiaoqiang and ran away.

"Hurry up, it will peck us again when it gets anxious!"

The two ran back to the camp in one breath, and the ravens in the sky followed them in the air, attacking with guano from time to time.When it saw that the two were about to enter the camp, it even made a dive attack, trying to peck Wang De with its sharp beak, but Wang De avoided it, and then picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it over, so it was not upset fly away!

When he arrived at the camp, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw the raven still hovering in the air, thought for a while, and took a strip of meat and put it on the wall.

Seeing that Wang De had recovered the lost jerky, everyone was happy, but Lin Xin felt a little embarrassed, and secretly pulled Song Xi to apologize to her. The two talked for a while, then smiled and walked back holding hands.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang put the jerky on the fence, everyone stopped what they were doing and watched from afar.Seeing that no one had any intention of attacking him, the raven landed and stood on the fence, looking at Zhang Xiaoqiang with his head tilted.

Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Raven, pointed at the meat strips and said.

"Eat it! Don't steal it from now on! If I have any meat, I'll put a piece here for you!"

The raven seemed to understand, but also didn't seem to understand. He tilted his head and watched for a while, then took the meat strip in his mouth and flew away.

In the evening, everyone ate and chatted around the fire.Wang De talked about making weapons for self-defense.

"I see there are bamboos here! There are a lot of vines. Let's peel off the bark and twist them into ropes, and use bamboos to make bows and arrows. It's good for hunting or self-defense! But... Xiaoqiang said that bronze is made, is it true? If Bronze can be smelted as soon as possible. It will be convenient for us to do anything!"

Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded.

"The charcoal has been burned! It can be taken out tomorrow. Then we will start refining the bronze ware. We just need everyone's help. More people can do it faster!"

Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaoqiang smashed the three mud balls and took out the charcoal that had been burning for three days.

The charcoal was burned very successfully, and the blackness glowed with white light.When knocked, there will be a crisp metal collision sound.A total of five large baskets of charcoal were taken out of the three mud balls, roughly estimated to weigh more than 200 catties.So everyone devoted themselves to the ranks of refining bronze ware.

In fact, smelting bronze is very simple.You don't even need to choose another location, you can just start working in the yard.

The first step is to wash the recovered bronze ore and then crush it.Bronze ores are brittle and easily crushed.

After crushing, dig a pit on the ground, put charcoal in it, ignite it and put the bronze ore powder layer by layer.Then cover the hole with sod.Leave a little gap.Then use a fan to fan the air in the pit.Continue for several hours, constantly adding charcoal and ore powder.In the end, a large pile of yellow and bright bronze fragments were produced.

Zhang Xiaoqiang built a firepit in the open space.Both sides are raised with soil, which not only ensures ventilation but also prevents the heat from the fire from dissipating too quickly.

Put those bronze shards into the prepared crucible.Then heat it over charcoal fire.

The most important thing about heating is to make the charcoal fire strong.People in the past used blowers, but Zhang Xiaoqiang and the others didn’t have them, so they used bamboo tubes wrapped in animal skins to keep blowing and pulling them.Let the bronze in the crucible melt into water.

After the bronze is melted into copper water, it is poured into the mold made of dry soil, and the bronze ware is ready after cooling.

At the beginning of the experiment, Zhang Xiaoqiang only used a little bronze to make a rough and ugly bronze knife.

This knife took half a day from start to finish, and the final appearance made everyone except Zhang Xiaoqiang burst into laughter.Because at first glance Yang Zixi thought Zhang Xiaoqiang had made a spoon.

However, after Wang De polished it, the bronze knife that resembled a spoon revealed its majesty.

A tree trunk as thick as an arm can be easily chopped with this knife in 2 minutes.Bamboo with a thick bowl mouth can't survive under this knife for 20 seconds.And the cut is neat, which is very suitable for continued processing.

With Zhang Xiaoqiang's first success, everyone was motivated.The second pot of bronze refining was carried out almost overnight.

This time the girls helped a lot.They are ingenious, and the models made of dry soil are very beautiful and suitable.And it is much more detailed than Zhang Xiaoqiang's.

They used a lot of bronze in the second pot, so they boiled a large pot of bronze water.Made a hatchet, a machete, a chisel and a dagger all at once.

Hand axes are used to cut trees, machetes are used to cut branches and firewood, and chisels and daggers are required by Wang De.

Because the appearance of the first bronze knife is too ugly.So Wang De asked himself to make a relatively standard military dagger.

With these things in place, it's time for Wang De to perform.

Zhang Xiaoqiang thought that Wang De would make a bow and arrow for everyone to see, but Wang De first made a crossbow for everyone out of bamboo and wood.

Two cut pieces of bamboo that are just right are used as the crossbow arm, and a strong piece of wood is cut into a long strip as the crossbow body, and a crossbow groove and bayonet are carved on it with a chisel, and the crossbow arm is tied with a rope. Ballista.The whole is made of wood and bamboo, simple and practical.

When it was ready, Wang De cut a branch into a crossbow arrow, put it on the crossbow groove, and opened the bow to shoot the arrow. It can easily shoot through the bark within 30 meters.

Wang De looked at this guy and said proudly.

"This is much better than bows and arrows!"
