Chapter 1075 A small step for the Qingque tribe, a giant leap for mankind(1/2)

The place where the bronze cone pierces is closer to the bottom of the stove.

The second senior brother exerted a lot of force and directly pierced the wall of the furnace.

After piercing a hole here, he used a little force in his hand and quickly pulled out the awl that had been pierced in.

The whole process is clean and neat, with some beauty.

A layman may not know what skills and beauty they have when they look ordinary like this.

But those who have personally done such things can understand what the second senior brother means.

How long does it take to practice to achieve this level?

This is a real skill, and you can't do anything at all.

"Shisheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshe

As the second senior brother moved the bronze cone in his hand away, a red liquid with extremely high temperature flowed out along the hole pierced by the bronze cone.

Seeing the red liquid flowing out, Han Cheng couldn't help but turn red.

It was as if the extremely high temperature and red color carried on the red liquid were transmitted to his face.

This matter cannot tolerate him not being excited.

Because this means that from now on, my tribe can also smel iron and officially step into the Iron Age!

Well, apply the famous saying of the first person to fly to the moon - this is a small step for me, but a big step for mankind!

Under Han Cheng's gaze with excitement, the little red liquid that had just flowed down no longer flowed, but was changed to dripping.

After a moment, it didn't even fall.

At this time, there was only a small amount of solution that had solidified in the Taoist scattered out by the second senior brother on the ground.

Han Cheng couldn't help but sniff.

This is indeed a small step.

This small step was too small, and it was over just now.

If a normal person's step is fifty centimeters away, this step is not even ten centimeters away!

This is so short!

Han Cheng, who was excited just now, looked at the scene in front of him and kept complaining in his heart.

Of course, it is not particularly surprising that this situation is now, because my tribe doesn’t get much iron ore, and it’s good to get so much melted juice.

Han Cheng said to himself in his heart, which was a lenient explanation for himself.

However, when the second senior brother took out a hole on the bottom side of the furnace where molten iron was no longer flowing out, the loose solution that Han Cheng had just performed failed.

Of course, this is not because the furnace fell uncontrollably after being operated by the second senior brother, and then hit Han Cheng.

It’s because the second senior brother took out the hole on one side of the stove and also made some things out of it.

These things are some iron ore that is placed on it without melting much.

The emergence of these things proves that the reason why the iron ore was produced before was not only because it was placed in less iron ore, but also because the iron ore had not completely melted.

"I put less charcoal, and when the next time I go, I put more charcoal in."

The second senior brother summarized this situation on the side and came up with a way to improve it next time.

Compared with copper and tin, two metals with relatively low melting points, the melting point of iron is much higher.

Therefore, the melting point of iron ore is higher than that of copper and tin ore.

The second senior brother knows some of these things through Han Cheng’s previous narrative and the process of treating iron bacteria.

So when he was trying to smelter the iron ore this time, he deliberately added more carbon into the furnace.

But now it seems that charcoal is added a little less.

Han Cheng had nothing to say about such a thing.

After all, for a new thing, there is always a process from unfamiliarity to familiarity.

In this process, it is inevitable that some misunderstandings and some bad things will happen.

If an error occurs, correct the error and it will be fine slowly...

After squatting here for a while, the solidified iron became cold.

Han Cheng reached out and took it into his hand.

In fact, it is not accurate to call it molten iron.

Because these things that are solidified by melting iron ore have a lot of impurities.

Compared with the iron blocks or iron products that Han Cheng saw in later generations, it is an essential difference.

The piece of material held by Han Cheng in his hand was extremely bad.

If it is beautiful, Han Cheng would not be described as a piece of cake.

The lumps on it are uneven at all.

It feels lighter when you pick it up.

It is much lighter than iron blocks under the same volume.

When Han Cheng took the extremely ugly mixture of iron and impurities and looked carefully, the second senior brother had already started to work and mud, and closed the hole that had been opened on the furnace wall before.

After doing these things, you will take some firewood from the side, put it in the stove, and then ignite it.

This is to dry the newly added piece of wet soil as quickly as possible, and then continue to burn the iron ore that has not melted away.

While the second senior brother was doing this, there were many people next to him staring at the mixture of iron and impurities in Han Cheng's hand.

Many people can't help but scratch their heads with their hands.

Because what they saw in front of them was so different from the tools made of meteorite they had seen.

People who have seen the iron tool of meteorite can't figure out what methods can be used to turn the iron in this state into a regular tool that can be used.

"Son of God, why didn't you catch it with a mold? I'll have to melt it again after a while?"

After watching Han Cheng for a long time, someone finally couldn't help asking for the doubts in his heart.

Many other people nodded.

This is indeed what puzzles them the most.

Because tribal bronze tools are becoming more and more popular, many people in the tribe have seen how to smel bronze and how to cast bronze utensils.

They thought that the iron tool was made like bronze. When the iron juice just flowed out, they placed a mold below to let it flow into the mold, and then cast the tools they wanted to have.

It is not surprising that they have insufficient knowledge and have a certain understanding of casting bronzes.

Because many times, people's imagination is based on some things they know and come into contact with.

If pure molten iron is used, there is no problem in casting many utensils by using this method.

For example, plowshares.

But what we are doing now is obviously not pure molten iron.

And the number is too small.

In fact, it is not enough to cast things.

"Wait first, now these impurities are too many, and the quantity is too small..."

Han Cheng said to these people and explained it.

While talking about this, he began to command some people in the tribe to raise another stove next to them.

This stove is different from the stove that is being pasted with wet mud by the second senior brother, and it is much lower.

This furnace is not used to smel steel, but to make iron.

That is, the so-called iron-scraper.

When the second senior brother over there made the iron smelting furnace, the flames here also started to burn.

Pushed by the bellows, these charcoals burned whirringly.

Red.

Seeing this, Han Cheng placed the lump of things in his hand on the stove and let the charcoal fire barbecue it.

After a while, the stuff was completely burned red.

Seeing this, Han Cheng clamped it out of the stove with a prepared bronze ingot.

The other hand, holding a small hammer, beat the stuff.

I didn't use too much effort because the gap between this stuff was too big at this time.

If the force is used too much, it will not be easy to beat it together.

As Han Cheng knocked with a hammer, the thing began to deform.
