The days of surviving on a desert island with a flight attendant

If you want to make iron and iron, the most important thing is to have a fire aid. The ancients often used 橐澠, or bellows, so that the fire in the furnace can get more oxygen and increase its flame temperature. Now I want to do it The only thing to do is to imitate the ancients and make a bellows, and then build a blast furnace.

Blast furnaces are easy to operate, with water, soil and stones, you can follow the previous method, mix out cement, lay stones, and build a temporary one, because I don’t want to make it into molten iron, a little higher can save more Both oxygen and temperature are acceptable, the difficulty lies in making the bellows.

Now that Song Yingchun is not here, there is no way for her to make one for me. I can only make do with it. I went outside and found a wooden manger near the manger. It happened to be made of five wooden boards. I cleaned it first. , put it in the sun, and measured about three palms long and one and a half palms wide. After writing down the data, I first drew the design on the ground.

What the bellows needs are two air inlets at the front and back, which can be set on the side. It also needs a wooden rotating shaft as the air tongue, a pole for pushing and pulling, and two holes for placing the pole. This requires some skillful workmanship. That's it, and finally make a vent on the rear side panel, and that's it.

It can probably be designed, and the next step is to make all the parts and splice them together.

The iron saw is no longer there, but I found the same kind of knife used for eating steak in the mountains. First, some unused bed boards were dismantled, and a section was split with an axe. After it was about the same size, the knife was used to cut back and forth to make the boards as smooth as possible.

Try to put it into the trough and move it twice, if it is too big, then saw it and adjust it, and it will fit quickly. Then drill two holes on the side of the wooden trough, and then find two pull sticks to connect The movable board uses the mortise and tenon technique taught by Yingchun, so that when I push and pull, I can fully move the push-pull board back and forth in the trough. The push-pull board is shorter than the height of the trough and a wooden board is placed on it. The width of the board is smaller than the width of the trough. Make it a wind tunnel.

Next, open a hole on the side of the food trough to make two air inlets, one of which is in the same direction as the hole of the push-pull wooden pole, and another one is made from the wooden board removed from the bed, which is the same as the top of the food trough. The long and wide boards are fixed with mortise and tenon technology to form a whole.

Finally, I cut a hole on the back side of this one as the air nozzle, so that when I push and pull the movable rod, the internal movable plate moves back and forth, so that the air is sucked into the bellows, and when I push and pull back and forth, the box The air in the box will form a pressure during the movement, so that the air in the box will go with the reserved air channel, and will be directly poured into the air nozzle and out.

In this way, a simple bellows is completed.

The next step is to build a slightly higher stove with mud. This process didn’t take much time. After that, I cut some firewood and put it in the stove to burn it. After it basically turned into charcoal, I put the broken hanging pot in the blast furnace Then ask Yunwen to help push and pull the bellows, and align the mouth of the air nozzle with the burner.

I went to split the remaining part of the wooden bed board with an axe, tried to clamp it, and it could indeed be used as a long chopstick. In addition, I dug a hole in the ground and poured well water into the pit with a bucket.

Not long after, the stainless steel pot in the blast furnace was red. I used "long chopsticks" to clamp it out and put it on the stone milling table. Soak it in the water to make it sting and emit hot steam. After smashing it, the gap is smaller, but the shape has been deformed a lot.

It just needs to be usable, and the aesthetics don’t matter. One time is obviously not enough. After several cycles of high-temperature forging, hammering, and cooling, the opening of the stainless steel field hanging pot was finally sealed, but the bottom is no longer flat. It's a little skewed, and the side is also recessed a lot, which is ugly, but it doesn't affect the use. I tried pouring water in it a few times, but it didn't leak any water.

It took almost half a day to spend all this effort, and when the pot was finished, it was already sunset.

"If Yingchun sister is here, you should say that you are a special soldier on the surface, but you are also working as a blacksmith part-time behind your back." Yunwen said with a smile.

"Really? I'm afraid I can't compliment my blacksmithing skills. Look at this pot, let me smash it. If it was in a civilized world, I'm afraid it would be rare to collect waste products." I said.

Yunwen laughed even more happily, and continued: "I still want it, and it costs [-] cents a catty for scrap iron."

At this moment, both of us laughed, but after we laughed, we were silent for a while. I knew what she was thinking, and she knew what I was thinking. Those two annoying Song sisters, when they were not around When I was there, I actually missed them a little bit.

With such company day and night, we have experienced so many ups and downs together, it is not like a relative is better than a relative, how can we forget it when we say forget it, and leave when we say we leave?There are more or less fetters in my heart, but I don't know if Song Yingchun and Song Bailu think the same as me.

"It's okay, we will meet again when we get ready for the march. Let's set out as soon as possible to find the Supreme Treasure, so we can meet sooner." I said.

She nodded and forced a smile.

Afterwards, Yunwen put medicine on the horse's legs with some herbs she picked, and the horse seemed to be happy to eat, so it stayed near the trough, at most walking around by itself, and didn't show anything Anxiety does not particularly contradict us, and is also very friendly to Yunwen.

It seems that this animal also recognizes people. Yunwen is beautiful and kind-hearted, so these animals can always be kind to them, and they don't reject them. I have heard before that people have an aura, and they are cruel and evil A person with a lot of hostility, the dog will bark when he sees it, and conversely, a kind-hearted person has a good aura, like Yunwen, who can easily win the trust of animals.

Although I don't really believe in these theories, seeing Yunwen's friendship with foxes and horses is like this now, and I have slightly changed my conception.

The horse limped in front of its right leg and had a big cut. Originally, the leg is the most sensitive part of the horse. I was afraid that Yunwen would be kicked. From time to time, Na Sanfu looked at her incomparably, licking Yunwen's arms and face from time to time.

After dealing with the matter of the horse, the wild wheat was also thrown and washed, and the wild wheat was put into the cleaned stainless steel hanging pot, and then placed in the high-temperature blast furnace where the iron was made before. It is baked as an oven. After it is dry and dehydrated, the wild wheat is taken out, and a wooden pole is used to support a shelf on the ground outside, and the hanging pot is placed on the ground. Pour the wild oats into the boil.

Not long after, there was oatmeal porridge to drink. I just washed the iron spoon, and Yunwen and I drank it one by one. Adding some fiber can also promote the effect of tonifying deficiency.

Just drinking porridge is a bit monotonous, and the eggs boiled in the military pot are also peeled and eaten, so the inside of the military pot is also much cleaner. Afterwards, Yunwen washed some raspberries to eat with it, and this meal is considered full. The stomach also satisfies a little appetite.

Although this meal was a little fussy and improvised, overall it was much better than the perfunctory two peaches last night.

After dinner, Yunwen planned to wash the pot, so I went to fetch water, but just two steps away, Yunwen suddenly coughed and coughed, clutching her chest, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

I was in a state of suspense, is it because I just had a meal, the feeling of satiety exposed the damaged gastrointestinal problem, or the recurrence of the black group virus?

Alas, it would be great if Bai Lu was here now.
