Chapter 33 How Bronze Was Made

Wang Qiang was not interested in the boring textbook knowledge of his student days, and now he can't remember much. Most of Wang Qiang's knowledge comes from novels, games, films and TV series that he is interested in.

How famous is Daye? The treasure pot of Jiangnan, the open-pit copper mine, the Chu State jumped from a small projectile country to the greatest capital of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang of the Qing Dynasty, was still here to make small steelmaking and try to reverse the national destiny of the Qing Dynasty pills!

This is not a game cheat, but the place of Daye itself is a cheating on the earth, and this is a treasure land! Compared with the discovery of treasure land, the origin of the big lake in the distance is no longer important. The geographical environment of the prehistoric era is definitely different. Qinghai Province was still a vast Western Sea at that time when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Wang Qiang once again remembered Su Su's serious nonsense saying "The more difficult it is, the more rewarding it is", and finally understood the meaning of his start at this location: the so-called highest difficulty start is not to throw the player in a desert where nothing is available. That kind of difficulty is meaningless. He has a task to kill viruses, and he must have the capital to kill viruses no matter what, it depends on whether he can grasp it.

I have to say that the snow covered in the mountains and the layer of moss covered on the ore really makes people lose their minds! When talking about moss and stones, Wang Qiang suddenly remembered the earth cave where he started, and the earth caves of the oxygen tree, aren't there such moss and stones?

If they were also copper mines, then I would start directly in the copper mine. As a result, I was forced to do something in a daze and found out after two days that I was so stupid that I realized that this is a big super player! When I think of this, Wang Qiang's heart is no longer described as regret!

Calm down! As a super player, you have to use all your time to do important things, even in your free time when you are hunted down, so the current important things are undoubtedly to refine copper!

But copper smelting... At this moment, Wang Qiang missed his chemistry teacher in high school. High school is the peak period of knowledge in a person's life. If you learn high school mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of traveling through the past and the present! If you had known that you would have had a day of traveling through time... However, at least you have played games and enjoyable games. You are a master-level mining, forging, and strengthening master in countless games!

In most games, copper smelting is an entry-level forging, just throwing the ore into the charcoal furnace of the blacksmith shop, and no need for an iron ore blower. Because the melting point of copper is very low, you can burn it into copper water at a too high temperature, and then use a mud mold to connect it and a copper ware is made. Of course, this copper is not pure copper, but bronze containing other metal alloys in the ore. The bronze has a low melting point and is harder than pure copper, which is more suitable for weapons.

The evolution of human civilization from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age was nothing more than an unexpected discovery of prehistoric humans after using copper ore stands to eat barbecue. So it is impossible for them to be as confident as prehistoric humans who eat barbecue!

After all, I have worked hard in the college entrance examination. I haven’t died all of my high school chemistry yet. I have returned the wet copper smelting formula to the teacher. I can’t remember the fire copper smelting formula, but the principle is very simple, not just burning!

Charcoal! Yes, charcoal is also needed! Just like the blacksmith's charcoal stove in the game, charcoal is not only a higher combustion temperature than firewood, but more importantly, charcoal itself is also an important reducing agent. Only by burning charcoal can the copper ore be reduced to copper and iron water. Charcoal is the product of incomplete combustion of wood. It is easy to burn charcoal when burning wet firewood. In short, it is to continue cutting down trees and continue to increase, compact and smolder the pile of firewood!

So Wang Qiang picked up a green stone and excitedly said, "Aduo, we have discovered the treasure mountain. We will pick up more of this stone and burn it with a large fire. Then a treasure called copper will appear! Copper can make stronger weapons or tools."

A Duo Xinqi said: "Can stones burn? Make a stronger weapon? Crossbow?"

"Bronze Crossbow?" Wang Qiang said embarrassedly: "It's too fine. We don't have enough tools. We can try to make an axe first, the copper axe! It's much more powerful than this stone axe."

A Duo was excited and swallowed the meat pieces and said hesitantly: "I knew the chief was a god... Otherwise, how could he know such a magical thing? I will pick up the stone immediately..."

Wang Qiang was also amused. It would be embarrassing if my brother failed and didn't burn copper? However, the pine trees had more pine oil, so they should be burned out, right? The key is whether the time was enough? The enemy was walking two days away. Even if they set out early in the morning, they would have to come at noon or even afternoon, right?

If it's afternoon? Wang Qiang's guerrilla ideas for attracting monsters have been improved again: If it's afternoon, won't it be until dark? If it's dark, won't it have a great chance to get rid of the opponent's pursuit? Perfect! I really didn't think about how to escape in detail before. After all, there must be a way before the horse reaches the mountain.

Wang Qiang was excited and chewed the bear meat in two bites. With the supreme enthusiasm of discovering rare divine mines in the usual game, he overcame the soreness of his body and continued to work.

Soon, a bunch of green stones of all sizes, half a person tall, were collected. But this look made people feel that it was not easy to burn? Modern ore refining should have special ore crushers, right?

Then smash it! The more you can smash it, the more you can smash it!

So Wang Qiang and Aduo used the ore and the ore to hit each other, causing the palms to hurt and the arms to be numb, and the effect did not seem to be very good.

Wang Qiang further realized what it means to be helpless in the backwardness of productivity, but the more backward he was, the stronger Wang Qiang decided to refine copper blocks. As long as he refined copper water, even if it condensed into a pile of irregular copper blocks, it could at least be used to smash ore!

But Wang Qiang already had the experience of Huang Ni shaping the crossbow body yesterday, so it was impossible that it could be particularly irregular.

So the next step is to directly bury the stone axe in the soil in the soil to make molds. This is the ground mold casting method - it has nothing to do with the level of high school and college, just know how to play. As long as the copper water melts out and flows into this mold, the copper axe will be born, but this is an ideal state because Wang Qiang cannot control the flow of copper water in the fire. Then he simply prints a circle of axe molds around the fire.

In short, when I first smelted copper, I mainly collected copper blocks. In the future, I would like to burn a standard ceramic stove, and then use the ceramic stove to return to the furnace to melt the copper blocks and re-cast them. Then I would also have to specialize in firing charcoal to further improve the process. At that time, it would not be a simple thing like casting copper axes, so I would directly deal with the copper crossbow!

When Wang Qiang thinks of such a beautiful future, and he may not have survived today, he regrets even more that he shouldn't have been there! This life that cannot be retracted is so sad? Can you give me a chance to regret it? My brother is independent and will not inherit the so-called inheritance of his ex. He is just a loser...
