Leaving the Resource Island and Moving Forward in the Sea
The weight of the ore was very large, so even though it was a million catties, it did not take up much land.
Now that he had bronze ore, he could start smelting bronze.
According to the introduction of the smelting room, the time required to produce different products was different.
The difficulty of smelting bronze ores was definitely much lower than that of iron ores.
After all, the melting point of bronze was less than 1100 degrees.
And the melting point of iron needed to be as high as 1538 degrees.
This was also why almost all ancient civilizations entered the Bronze Age first and then the Iron Age.
After all, for the ancient technology, it was almost the limit to be able to make the furnace temperature reach 1100 degrees.
Iron required more than 1500 degrees, and it would be difficult to reach that level for a long time.
Now, Lu Yun was going to start smelting the bronze ore and extract pure bronze.
Just like the previous kiln room, this smelting room could also produce automatically.
However, the efficiency could be said to be extremely slow.
Moreover, every smelting room must have a laborer in the workshop to help pull the fan.
Otherwise, the required temperature would not be reached.
If the smelting room could be equipped with professional smelting technicians, then the production efficiency would definitely increase greatly.
Currently, the Mechanic Cabin was already at level 6, and it would unlock the Smelting Mechanic.
However, before that, Lu Yun thought about the Dwarf Race's hero, Joseph Kim. Since he was known as the God of Forging, he must be proficient in all things related to forging.
So he called him over and asked directly,"Joseph, do you know how to smelt ores?”
"Of course I do, Master," Joseph replied in a loud voice. What ore do you want me to smelt?"
Lu Yun replied," Bronze ore. The ore is in the warehouse. You can get it yourself."”
"Yes, Master." Joseph accepted the order and left.
Now that Joseph had joined in the smelting, it shouldn't take too long to refine 1000 pounds of bronze, right?
The bronze ore that the system gave him this time had a copper content of 20%.
Don't underestimate this 20%. In the natural world, even the copper ore with the highest copper content generally does not exceed 15%.
The ores given by the system had a copper content of 20%, which was already a very high-quality ore.
Of course, this was in the Black Turtle Realm. It was also possible that copper ores with higher copper content would appear in the future.
.............................................................................
It had to be said that the efficiency of smelting copper ore using primitive methods was too slow.
Even with the support of Joseph, the production capacity was still very low with only wood and the most primitive kiln.
Moreover, the materials that were turned over a hundred times would not be doubled again even after processing.
In other words, Lu Yun only produced as much bronze as he could.
Previously, he had given 10,000 catties of bronze ore, but in reality, he had given 1,000,000 catties.
Now that he had started refining bronze, he would refine one catty, which was one catty. He could not double it.
Therefore, Lu Yun needed to refine 1000 pounds of bronze to complete the main mission.
It was only in the middle of the night that Joseph finally finished refining 1000 pounds of pure bronze.
Congratulations, you have successfully smelted 1000 pounds of bronze from the smelting room.
You have received the reward of Forging House Blueprint x1.
[New quest has been issued: Please build a Forging House and forge at least 10 Bronze Tools.]
[Mission Reward: Woodworking Workshop Blueprint x1, Stone Workshop Blueprint x1]
Lu Yun used the Forging House and checked its attributes.

Time passed like this.
Three days later, the harvesting time of this ownerless resource island was up, and it automatically disappeared.
Lu Yun had also placed everyone on the back of the Black Tortoise before it disappeared.
Then, he set sail and set foot on the sea again.
In the past three days, after Lu Yun finished building the smithy, he immediately arranged for Joseph to produce all kinds of bronze equipment.
This included the tools used by the laborers, as well as the weapons and armor needed by the militia.
Joseph was indeed the God of Forging.
Every single one of them was exquisitely crafted, and their edges were extremely sharp.
Each of them could be said to be top-notch among bronze artifacts.
Of course, Joskin's abilities were far more than that.
He could also forge many other incredible divine weapons, but because of the lack of materials, he could not forge them.
This was because Lu Yun only had bronze ore now, so he could only refine bronze.
The only metal material that Joseph could use was bronze.
The fact that he could forge a Bronze Weapon of such quality already proved his forging ability.
