The clay and lead in the crucible could withstand the high temperature of the molten iron.
Then, it was poured into the mold to cool, forming a pig iron block.
He then returned to the furnace to continue smelting.
An hour later, the first batch of iron ore was used to remove the impurities in the raw ore with high temperature and a crucible.
The purity of the pig iron was greatly increased.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
What followed was a series of knocking sounds.
After all, this was the first time they were smelting iron. The coppersmiths did not have hammers in their hands. They were still using copper hammers.
But this was enough.
The pig iron was continuously hammered and folded, increasing its purity and producing the toughness of iron.
Another hour later,
A piece of refined iron was placed in front of Zhang Yun.
Ye Yuan and the fire sickle each held a piece, knelt on one knee, and raised both hands to offer it to Chen Wei.
"Chen Jun, this is refined iron refined from a crucible!”
Chen Wei knocked on it with his knuckles, and it hurt.
He had succeeded!
The refined iron was successfully refined!
They were only refining the most ordinary iron blocks. They did not need any craftsmanship, so it was very simple.
Even the purity was maintained perfectly.
Chen Wei knew that this piece of Refined Iron was the first one from the Spring and Autumn Era.
It was also the first piece in the world!
This was a historic achievement and a big step forward for the Chen Nation!
"Good! Good! Hahaha, I will reward you handsomely!"
What else could Chen Wei say? He could only reward them heavily.
He had long since made preparations and gifted the playthings he had collected in the Monarch's Residence to Ye Yuan and Huo Sickle.
"The two of you have contributed the most in the Smelting Division. I thank you for your contributions to the Chen Nation.”
When Ye Yuan and Huo Lian heard this, their expressions changed in fear. They said in unison,
"May the Chen Nation prosper forever! I wish Chen Jun a long life!”
"Good, I didn't misjudge you. From today onwards, refine iron well and forge better iron stones for me!”
However,
Although he said that.
However, Chen Wei did not relax.
The iron could be refined, but there was only this batch.
After refining it, there would be nothing left…
Ironmaking was a big project.
In particular, Chen Wei wanted to mass-produce armor and weapons.
This little iron was not enough!
Chen Wei needed natural iron ores to produce an endless stream of raw iron for smelting.
Only then would there be a possibility of mass production.
However, even though this first batch of refined iron was born, it still made Chen Wei very happy.
He didn't leave the Smelting Division for the time being and supervised the coppersmiths to make iron.
Meanwhile, he began to browse through the items in the system store.
Speaking of which...
The system was really a scam.
A Basic Soap Making Book only cost 50 contribution points.
As for an Intermediate Soap Making Book, it immediately rose to 500 contribution points.
Chen Wei had looked at the Advanced Soap Making Book before.
I'm sorry. I'll be dismissed after reading it.
5000 contribution points!
Moreover, it was locked and in a gray state.
Because Chen Wei did not have any chemistry foundation, he could not make high-grade soap even if he bought it.
Of course, he could afford it, because Chen Wei's contribution points were increasing continuously.
But it's not easy for me to save 5000 contribution points!
Fortunately, because of the fame of the soap, Chen Wei received a huge amount of contribution points.
Up until now, the contribution points were still rising at a rate of 50 to 60 per second.
He flipped through it for a long time and finally found it.
[Beginner Farm Tool Crafting Book: 100 contribution points]
[Intermediate Iron Farm Tool Crafting Book: 1000 contribution points]
Mechanical Farm Tool Crafting Book (Unlocked): 10000 contribution points.
Chen Wei wiped his sweat.
Fortunately, he had refined Refined Iron and reached the intermediate level. He had already unlocked it.
There was nothing to say, buy!
Chen Wei spent 1000 to buy an Intermediate Iron Farm Tool Crafting Book.
"Ye Yuan, Fire Sickle, come over.”Chen Wei waved his hand.
At this moment, Ye Yuan and Huo Lian were sweating profusely. The smelting process was extremely hot.
As a blacksmith, not only did he need to drink more water, but he also consumed a lot of salt.
Chen Wei threw the farming tool making book to them."This is a manual on how to make farming tools that I personally improved.”
Ye Yuan and the fire sickle were stunned. They took it and took a look.
It was shocking!
The book explained many ways to improve farming tools.
The farming tools of the Spring and Autumn Period were too primitive.
The improved farming tools were not only more efficient, but also more energy-efficient and sharper.
It was even more lethal when used to plow the fields.
Not only that, but there were also high-grade farming tools such as curved shaft plows, dragon bone water wheels, water revolving tube carts, and aquilines.
These farming tools were unheard of and never seen in this era.
It was no wonder that Ye Yuan and Fire Sickle were shocked.
Was this monarch a god that had descended to the mortal world? He could actually create such a farming tool.
The book not only recorded the production method in detail, but it also explained the usage and improvement of the process in great detail.
It was as if he was reading a heavenly book.
He could clearly understand every word, but why couldn't he understand the meaning?
" Chen Jun, this…" Ye Yuan was dumbfounded.
"Hehe, I also want to try it out and see if it's useful.”
"If it is useful, I will promote it to the whole country so that everyone can use the new farming tools.”
