Chapter 857
When the two saw this, they got up hurriedly and hurriedly walked to the forge to meet Zhang Feng.
At the beginning of July at this time, although the smell is not as hot as before, the temperature of the forge is extremely high. From a distance, it seems that there are only ten strange forging furnaces in the forge. It was red, but as soon as he walked in, with the heat wave of one after another, Zhang Feng discovered that the forging furnaces that Old Li and the others had brought had already been demolished by these people. Almost nothing was left.
On the original mountain wall, a two-zhang smelting furnace appeared. At this time, several Western Regions wearing only loincloths were desperately putting charcoal into it.
Alkinnon and Zhang Feng walked around these people and entered the natural cave that was only ten feet deep before.
Everyone looked at Zhang Feng. Although they didn’t mean to be vigilant, they didn’t pay any attention, as if Zhang Feng was a transparent person, and Zhang Feng didn’t care about it. As Alkinnon entered Inside the cave that was expanded again.
As soon as he entered the cave, there was a heat wave that almost made Zhang Feng almost fainted.
The point is that in this heat wave, there is also a cumin flavor unique to the people of Western Regions.
Zhang Feng resisted this strange smell and frowned slightly as he watched a furnace leaning on the cliff side of the cave, which was pulled out by hand on the mountain wall.
This furnace uses binaural ventilation and exhaust, but in this closed environment.
Fire can't concentrate at all.
"Lord Dean, be careful, the molten iron smelted in this furnace will be ready soon. Please stay a little behind and wait for me to release the molten iron."
while speaking, Altyn After Nong and Mokado talked about something for a while, they picked up a small hammer, and an iron rod, and fiercely knocked them fiercely in a place under the furnace that touched the mud. .
As the hammer fell, the place was filled with a little red light.
Mokadodi shouted: "The dean is careful!"
"Open the stove!"
"clang!"
With Alkinnon's hammer down.
Drops of scarlet water flowed outward along the cracks hit by the iron sticks. As soon as the red molten iron touched the ground, bursts of chi chi chi sound erupted instantly.
And Mokoado also hurriedly picked up a hoe and dug a ravine in the ground to guide the molten iron out.
Although the furnace looks big.
But there is very little molten iron.
In no time.
The molten iron flowed out of Shandong Province, and the molten iron stopped dripping in the furnace. Until then, Alkinnon commanded the crowd to bring a bucket of water and pour it on the molten iron. around the land.
In an instant, one after another, pitch-black smoke mixed with the smell of iron pins, filled the entire smelter.
And Zhang Feng finally couldn't stand it.
I hurriedly ran away from the forging workshop, clutching his nose and mouth.
Ma Zhou was even more stunned.
This is the first time he has come to this forging workshop. He also knows that the expensive iron and bronze wares he knows in the normal are all made in this way?
In a moment, the smoke and dust dissipated under the influence of the wind in the valley, and Alkinnon also called Zhang Feng in the forge.
As soon as he entered the forging workshop, Alkinnon handed a piece of iron that had just been smelted to Zhang Feng: "Dean, this temperature is still not enough, the kind of steel you mentioned..."
Zhang Feng is also slightly frowned. He took out the delicate scimitar from his waist, and gently shaved it on the palm-sized iron block with the back of the knife. It was instantly restored in the iron ashes. A trace was left on the iron with a little red.
"No, this is still iron!"
Which step is wrong?
Zhang Feng could not help but abandon the video of guarding the great people in his mind, searching for the physics knowledge learned in high school and university in the depths of his memory, as well as the method of forging steel.
Unfortunately, Zhang Feng slowly figured out the reason.
Looking at the charcoal in the corner, Zhang Feng asked: "You have been using this stuff before?"
Alkinnon nodded: "Is there anything else? Can something replace this?"
Zhang Feng hearing this seemed to have discovered the problem, and then turned around and asked: "Ma Zhou, do you know that the thing Great Tang uses for forging is this charcoal?"
Ma Zhou didn’t know what Zhang Feng wanted to express, but he was still nodded: "Yes, it’s charcoal."
"Go call me Li Qian, I I have something to find him."
Zhang Feng is a frowned.
After Ma Zhou accepts the decree hurriedly away, Zhang Feng squatted beside a strange smelting furnace on the edge of the cliff, carefully watching a Western Regions craftsman's forging.
When the charcoal in the stove burns to a certain extent, he will clip a few pieces of new charcoal again, and then take out some of the ashes under the stove.
With this reciprocation, never stop.
Zhang Feng pointed to the man and asked: "You are all smelted like this?"
"Yes!"
Alkinnon and Mokoa Two more people are nodded.
After that, Mokoaddo said: "I visited Great Tang before, and it didn’t seem to be called Tang at that time... Although the forging method of Great Tang is different from mine, it still uses the same forging method. There is no difference."
hearing this, Zhang Feng finally found the crux of the problem, indifferently said: "Are you sure Great Tang's smelting is also the same way?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Feng was a bit speechless. ,
No wonder they can't forge steel. If they can make steel in this way, then hell.
In this era, coal should have existed for a long time!
Why don't you use that thing?
Let the temperature of the flame always maintain a balance point?
Smelting such a simple thing, why is it so difficult in this era?
