Chapter 138 Iron Smelting

Chu Ruoyun carefully looked at the iron nuggets exchanged from Yi. Those iron nuggets are not iron ore with many impurities, so there is no need to make particularly sharp utensils, and it is completely unnecessary to smelt them. If you want to make sharper weapons, you need Smelt it.

He recalled the method of smelting in his mind and said to Zhu: "We need to go to the caves of Feihe and Yuequ to collect a lot of this kind of stone, and then put it in an earth pit with the charcoal after burning the wood. Keep heating, and then it will form a stone that can make weapons better than this stone."

He briefly told Soo, but Soo didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't explain much.

When the people who dealt with the snakes and bats in the cave came back, Chu Ruoyun told the leaders of the tribes to reconvene some strong men to go to the cave that Feiheyue said before to collect stones.

After hearing this, the tribes immediately gathered their men, and then they began to walk towards the cave with black stones.

They moved forward very fast. On the way, Chu Ruoyun told them that this kind of stone was very useful. They believed Chu Ruoyun. Chu Ruoyun said that this kind of stone was very useful. This kind of stone must be very useful. , so they are very excited.

When they came to the end of the cave, they saw many black stones on one side of the stone wall.

Chu Ruoyun looked at these stones carefully with a torch, and after confirming that this stone was iron similar to meteorite, he said to everyone: "This kind of stone can be processed to make weapons similar to knife stones. We need to mine more of this kind of iron." When the stone comes out, after the stone is mined, we have to find a place to process it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the others excitedly picked up the stone spears and stone knives in their hands and started digging on the black stone wall.

The tribes people trust Chu Ruoyun so much because during the item exchange activities, the tribe members of Chu Ruoyun told them many things about Chu Ruoyun, including Chu Ruoyun’s blessings in every ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and their When they experienced the avalanche and forest fire, they described Chu Ruoyun as miraculous, and others naturally respected Chu Ruoyun.The second is because they exchanged a lot of things made by Chu Ruoyun himself during the item exchange activity, and they had no doubts about Chu Ruoyun's wisdom and ability.

After being in contact with Chu Ruoyun for such a long time, the priests of the various tribes had a deep understanding of Chu Ruoyun's erudition and admiration for Chu Ruoyun, and the leaders of the tribes could also see Chu Ruoyun's ability.

Now is the time of crisis, they know that Chu Ruoyun is doing this to save everyone, so they will naturally obey Chu Ruoyun's arrangement.

After Chu Ruoyun asked everyone to mine the stones on the stone wall, he began to think about finding a suitable place to smelt iron.

He thought about it carefully, considering that it is better to smelt iron in a ventilated place, and there is only one place in all the caves that meets this requirement, and this cave is the cave that can lead to the cliff.

He chose to smelt iron there because people who have been there before said that there is a cliff outside the cave, and there is a lot of fog nearby. Since there is a cliff, the wind there should be very strong, which is very helpful for smelting.The important thing is that the smoke produced by smelting and burning can be integrated with the fog on the cliff, which is not easy to be discovered by the evil tribesmen.

Thinking of this, he told the leaders of the tribes about his plan. The tribes didn't understand what he meant, but they firmly believed that everything he did was right, so they called some people from the tribe to follow him to the road to the road. The cave in the cliff.

When he went to the cave leading to the cliff, he glanced at the people who were actively mining stones, and then he went out of the cave to the cave leading to the cliff. The leaders and selected people followed him to the cave leading to the cliff .

They walked along the cave, and after walking for a long time, they still hadn't reached the entrance of the cave.

Even if they do not reach the mouth of the cave, they can still feel the strong wind.

When they reached the edge of the cliff, Chu Ruoyun found that this place was really suitable for iron smelting. Not to mention the strong wind, it was also very wide, almost the same size as the cave on the other side of the waterfall.

The important thing is that there are many trees growing on the edge of the cave here, and there is thick soil under the trees.

These soils can be used for smelting, and the trees can also be burned into charcoal.

After he told the tribal leaders how to smelt iron, they began to dig soil and cut down trees on the mountain wall according to his request.

Because of the rain, they had to be very careful digging and felling trees.

Chu Ruoyun and the leaders of the tribes also instructed everyone to be careful when digging soil and cutting trees.

After all the orders were done, he let out a long sigh and told everyone that after the stones were processed, they needed to be processed again to make weapons and weapons.

Others were surprised to find that it was so troublesome to make weapons like knives and stones.

But they all know that if they can make weapons like knives and stones, they can compete with the sharp nails of the evil tribesmen.

With powerful weapons and weapons, they will be encouraged in their hearts, and they are no longer in a state of only avoiding and fleeing.

Chu Ruoyun told them in detail about the next step of building weapons and weapons, "After we transport the mined stones here and treat them with fire and wood-burned charcoal, they will form massive solidified stones. , we will burn these stones on the fire, and beat the stones repeatedly to refine powerful weapons and weapons. I will tell you how to do it when the time comes."

Chu Ruoyun felt a little tired after talking with others.

Now that he has a child in his womb and has been busy with everyone for so long, he will naturally feel tired.

After he finished speaking, he said goodbye to Zhu, Yue and others whose wounds had not yet healed, and he had to trouble them to take care of the rest.

After he and Zhu returned to the waterfall, he hurriedly searched for dried sour fruit and stuffed it into his mouth and ate it. After eating, he lay down on the animal skin and got a rest as soon as possible.

Soo's injuries were not completely healed, and he pulled Soo to sleep with him before falling asleep.

When he woke up again, he took the two children back from Mian and Ning, who had been helping him and Zhu to take care of Mian and Ling.

The two children returned to his arms and called him excitedly, which comforted his anxiety a lot.

While they quarried the black stone, felled the wood, and built the pits for smelting iron, the sky rained incessantly.

Although the sky has been raining heavily, it still cannot eliminate the faint sense of fear in the hearts of all of them, and their sleep is also very uneasy.

As long as they can't be sure that the evil tribe is not dangerous to them, they will always have worries in their hearts, and they will definitely not be able to eat well or sleep well here.

Chu Ruoyun was also very worried. When he saw Mo, Yue, and Zhu being injured, he could imagine the horror and ferocity of the evil tribe. It was also because of this that he felt that it would be better to make iron weapons as soon as possible. .

He would go to see everyone's progress in mining stones and making pits every day.

The stone they mined would be transported to the cave on the cliff.

On this day, when he passed by, the pit for smelting iron was finally built.

He asked people to start burning the felled trees in the earth pit. After the trees burned for a day or two and turned into charcoal, he asked people to collect the charcoal. Suitable charcoal and stones are all thrown into the pit and burned.

The cliff is very windy, and the lit charcoal has a strong flame in the earth pit, and because of this, the charcoal has reached the perfect temperature for smelting this kind of stone.

The charcoal and stone were mixed and burned for a long time before the stone showed signs of being liquefied.

He also told others about the danger at this time, and asked everyone to be careful when checking or adding charcoal.

He originally thought that it would not be so easy for him to smelt iron in this way, after all, it was not easy to smelt iron in ancient times.

Unexpectedly, they succeeded in smelting iron once.

He thinks that they will succeed because the wind here is strong, which can rapidly increase the temperature of the charcoal, and the second is because the purity of the black stone and iron itself is slightly higher. Modern iron ores are not the same, perhaps because they are so different that they are so easy to smelt, and there are not as many requirements for iron smelting in ancient times.

While they were smelting iron, the torrential rain continued.

The prolonged torrential rain calmed their worries a little, but they still had worries and fears in their hearts.

They knew that it was not easy for the evil tribe to find them under such heavy rain, not to mention that under such heavy rain, the people of the evil tribe might not come out to look for them.

It took them several days to smelt the iron, and when the first batch of iron was smelted, the leaders of each tribe began to allocate manpower to forge the smelted iron according to Chu Ruoyun's request.

Chu Ruoyun has never forged weapons and weapons, but forging weapons and weapons requires certain experience and ability. He made the iron smiths in the tribe not know how to forge weapons and weapons. Therefore, they used the first batch of smelted iron Almost all weapons and weapons were discarded.

It was also the first time he felt a little discouraged.

No matter what they did before, as long as everyone thinks together, works together, and after he raises some points, it takes a little longer, and they can produce what he needs.

This time building weapons is different.

None of them ever forged weapons.

And to forge iron requires strong men.

Seeing his worried look, the tribesmen comforted him anxiously: "Master, let's make people try again, don't worry!"

How could he not be in a hurry, more than 20 days have passed since the iron was smelted, but the iron they smelted could not make weapons or weapons.

The point is that the recent rainstorm has gradually become smaller and seems to be showing signs of stopping. This is not good for them. They must manufacture weapons and weapons as soon as possible.

Zhu knew his worry and comforted him: "Let's try again, I will discuss it with other leaders, maybe not everyone can build the weapons and weapons that Yun said, we will inform everyone in the tribe Try to build it, maybe you can build it."

"But..." Forging iron requires a strong and powerful man.

He didn't say what he said later, Jingzhu reminded him, he thought: maybe he has been misunderstanding all the time.

Forging iron does require a lot of strength, but forging iron may also be related to talent and learning. As long as you are talented and study, you will be able to master the skills of iron forging and make weapons and weapons.

If he only let strong men to forge iron, and these men just lack the talent for making weapons, they will definitely not be able to make weapons no matter how hard they try.

Maybe it would be nice for Soo to let everyone try blacksmithing again.

Thinking of this, he agreed with Soo and asked everyone to try it again.
