Lord of the People: Start a monster island

Chapter 62 Looking for Iron Ore
Jiang Heng looked at the wooden board in front of him, and briefly sorted out the tools everyone needed. Whether it is a carpenter or building a town, a lot of iron is needed.

He currently doesn't have much iron ore on hand, and the only ready-made metal is dragon bronze. These bronzes are very powerful when made into weapons, but they are not as good as iron when made into tools.

A big problem facing Jiang Heng is ironmaking. The principle of ironmaking is very simple. He learned it in high school. It is mainly to reduce iron oxide or iron oxide in iron ore into iron.

Jiang Heng remembered that there was a schematic diagram of blast furnace ironmaking in the textbook, which seemed to require coke and limestone. He still remembered the chemical reaction equation, but he had no memory of the specific details of the blast furnace.

"Bru, take and melt all the non-essential iron utensils of your tribe, I want to use them."

Jiang Heng went to the Goblin tribe to find Bruce and issued an order. At present, he can only temporarily tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

"Master, I will arrange it now."

Bruce nodded, turned and went back to make arrangements.

"Bring the iron to the forge, I'll be there in a while."

Jiang Heng nodded.

Then, he rushed to the place where the kobold was without stopping. There was no phone now, so he had to run on his legs to call someone.

"Lord Lord!"

Seeing Jiang Heng approaching, the kobold who was digging a hole ran over to greet him.

Jiang Heng looked at him and said, "Didn't you want me to save your fellow clan before? Didn't you still want the Dragon Bronze? Now is your chance!"

Hearing this, the Kobold's ears immediately perked up: "What chance?"

"Help me find iron ore, and if I find it, I will rescue your fellow clansmen and reward you with a piece of Dragon Bronze."

Jiang Heng said.

"Yes, I am willing to help."

The kobold agreed after a little thought.

"Okay, I'll take you to goblins and let them go with you to find iron ore."

Jiang Heng nodded and said.

As for the promise to help the kobolds save their clansmen, he will definitely fulfill it. He and the five major lord alliances in the south have already formed an enmity, and he doesn't mind deepening the enmity.

There are also Zhang Minghui and Xiang Dong. He didn’t deal with these two people before, and it doesn’t mean he let them go. It’s just because he feels that he will be silver-level soon. When he is silver-level, he can just kill them. It’s risky to go now. , God knows if they have any cards.

Of course, the main reason is because he is keen on building territories, and the goblin wolf knight has not yet been trained, so he is not suitable for long-distance raids.

"Zhang Minghui seems to have a lot of iron ore. Maybe he found iron ore."

When Jiang Heng walked back with the Kobold, he remembered that Zhang Minghui had sold iron ore in the trading market the first time he went there.

Zhang Minghui also has a kobold tribe in his hands, and he may have discovered iron ore. He is thinking about whether to find a way to attack and kill him.

"It's better to upgrade the Monster Island to the silver level first."

After thinking about it, Jiang Heng felt that it would be easier to upgrade Monster Island to the silver level first, after all, the Golden Sword Grass Valley is there.

Here in the forging room, Bruce has already brought a lot of ironware.

"The iron is here. You arrange a few goblins to go with him to find the iron ore. Be careful."

Jiang Heng handed the Kobold to Bulu.

"Master, don't worry, I understand."

Bruce nodded and left with the kobold.

"There are too few iron tools. These are some preserved by the Goblin tribe. Let's make things for carpenters first, and put the rest first."

Jiang Heng said to the craftsmen who followed him.

When Jiang Heng spoke, other people naturally didn't have any opinions, and the tools used by carpenters were indeed more important, whether it was knives, axes, saws, hammers, pinches, wooden pushers and other tools, they were also used by others.

"If we have iron ore, we can try blast furnace iron smelting. Slowly experimenting will always produce iron. We all know the principle, but we just need to study the details."

Murong Wen said.

"I thought so too, I'll find someone to try later." Jiang Heng nodded.

"My lord, why don't you leave this matter to me, and I will bring a college student to do it together. I have studied the ancient method of iron smelting before, and I have some experience in this area."

Murong Wen said.

"No problem, you can call someone in a while."

Jiang Heng nodded.

Soon the goblins heated the stove red, and there was no way to use an iron bowl to melt iron. Jiang Heng remembered that the melting point of crystal was more than 700 degrees, and the melting point of iron was only [-] degrees, so he took a small white snake to make it. The large crystal bowl was used as a tool for melting iron.

All the iron tools of the Goblin tribe add up to more than 300 catties, and the quality is not good enough, so they need to be forged again.

"My lord, leave this to me. When I first started learning carpentry, I made similar tools by myself."

said a carpenter.

"You can do it yourself, and the two goblin elders are also good at blacksmithing."

Jiang Heng nodded, and left with the others, he didn't need to keep watching the iron making.

After returning, everyone led others away to do their own research. Jiang Heng gave Murong Wen and Li Wei the right to enter and exit freely, but only in the area within the goblin patrol team, and they would be banned if they went outside. Goblin stopped.

Murong Wen decided to make brushes and ink first. The brushes have wolf hair, and quicklime is also needed. Quicklime is formed by calcining calcium carbonate, that is, limestone at high temperature. There is no limestone mine now, but there are shells.

Shells can be calcined at high temperatures to form quicklime, that is, calcium oxide, which can be used to degrease wolf hair, which is very useful.

Although charcoal is enough to make ink, the diameter of the required toner particles must be very fine, which is difficult to produce at the current level.

Fortunately, Murong Wen used to be a video blogger who studied ancient methods. He only needs to burn wood, put a pot on it, take the black ash from the bottom of the pot, wash it and then use it, and then add some other materials to make ink. block or ink.

These black ash are extremely fine carbon particles produced by insufficient burning of wood, which is a good stuff for making ink.

On Li Wei's side, he took four masons to survey the terrain. What Jiang Heng didn't expect was that he had a tape measure in his hand. According to him, it was because he was working on the construction site when the earth was destroyed, and he was holding a Bring the tape measure with you.

"These are the rice seeds I brought over, and I will leave them to you, so be sure to plant them well."

Jiang Heng handed the rice seeds to the two uncle farmers. He was actually very afraid that they would cause damage, so he sent Yun Jing to accompany them, both to help and to supervise.

After all, there is only one bag of rice. Once it is destroyed, he has no place to cry. To be on the safe side, he has to stay behind.

"Lord, don't worry, we have been planting crops for decades."

The two farmer uncles nodded.

"Come here with me with the seeds. I've already done the paddy field. You can see if it's qualified."

Jiang Heng said again.

He was going to the crop field. Meng Wang had called him through telepathy yesterday, and now he just passed by, so he could take them to familiarize themselves with the crop field.
