Chapter 116 Discovery: Manganese-bearing siderite
Chapter 116 Discovery: Manganese-bearing siderite
"Ask me?" Now that the drought continues unabated, swamps in many places have dried up, so digging can save a lot of effort.
Shi Wu took the Shi family and some other slaves to continuously polish stone tools.
Maybe you haven't realized that grinding stone tools is actually very easy now. Things like grinding wheels are being used by the tribe.
In the past, it was time-consuming and laborious to make stone tools, but now as long as there are enough stones, if they are broken, they can be thrown away and replaced with new ones. All the power you can think of has been used.
Look at those oxen. What they are carrying is called a plow. It is an adaptation of the plow. It is pulled by two oxen and is specially used to break the soil. Then the children pick up the stones and throw them into the basket. When the basket is full, they carry it on their backs. Throw it into the river like a beard, with a layer of stones and a layer of soil moved with sand.
Layer by layer, there are fewer people in the Beard River.
You see, the horizon line drawn by Xin Qu is coming over there again. A Xiaoxu River has been filled in every day for the past three days.There is less visible to the naked eye. Can it be done? "
Shu Dagu was convinced. He had said before that Xin Qu must know about agriculture, but it was just because he didn't have time.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was not a lack of time, but a lack of manpower.
No, as soon as there is an opportunity to hire manpower, I will give you a big one directly!
As long as you are willing to work hard, the mountain can be dug for you!
"Huh? What are you doing over there?" Chu Dagu suddenly saw a group of people setting fire under a protruding red and black stone.
"Oh, they are crushing the rocks. When the fire is almost done, cold water is poured on it, and the earth and rocks will be broken apart directly, so there is no need for large-scale excavation by manpower. This is all Qu Jiao's fault."
Xin Huo squinted his eyes and looked at the southwest carefully, then suddenly frowned and said, "By the way, look at the color of that stone? Why does it look yellow to me?"
Shu Dagu turned around and took a look. After a while he nodded: "There is indeed yellow."
"past!"
Xin Huo stood up suddenly and ran over quickly.
The two brothers Shu Dagu and Shu Yan looked at each other and quickly followed.
Not long after, we arrived outside the stone. The fire had been extinguished, and water had been poured several times, revealing mottled colors of yellow, green, gray, white, brown, red, and black.
"What's going on?" Shu Dagu asked Xin Huo curiously, who was touching the stones.
Xin Huo didn't answer him. After confirming the position, he picked up the bronze dagger and stabbed it hard. As a result, the front end of the bronze collapsed and the stone also cracked a little. Xin Huo continued to chisel away, taking away some of each color.
Then I looked down and saw a pink fragment, so I took it with me.
After picking up these fragments, Xin Huo asked someone to bring them to Xin Qu, and then he studied them carefully and said, "It seems to be the evil gold that Xin Qu said."
"Evil Gold?!" Shu Dagu and the others were stunned. They had indeed heard Xin Qu say that Evil Gold was very useful. Xin Qu had been sending people to look for it, but until now they had not seen any trace of Che Baihu.
Most of the people in Shu suspected that Che Baihu had died on the side of the Red Stone tribe.
"We'll have to wait until Xinqu comes back to find out more details. We'll dig around this stone." Xin Huo called a dozen slaves to come over and work.
Then he said to Shu Dagu: "You just came back, so you should go back and have a rest. Don't be in a hurry. Even if you make evil gold, you will probably have to spend a lot of time busy. When you are in Changping, you may be able to see Xin Qu smelting evil gold. Here’s gold.”
"it is good."
Shu Dagu took Shu Yan and the others away.
Xin Huo looked at the stone for a while: "Strange, the material does not look like stone, but like quartz. It can make pottery. Anyway, Mr. Qu asked me to pay attention. He will know when he comes to see it."
Xin Qu rested in Jundu Mountain. He got the stone chip sample at night and looked at it carefully.
Xinqu suspected that this thing was manganese ore.
After all, the place where this thing was found was already an area where manganese sedimentary rocks spread in Jixian County in later generations. When I was memorizing geography questions, I was tortured by a high school geography teacher who liked to ask "evil" questions.
This yellow one is most likely pyrite, but the content doesn't seem to be much.
The maroon color is hematite.
After carefully identifying it for a while, Xinqu suddenly saw a piece of siltstone among these samples.
Xinqu pinched the stone. It must not have been plucked from the same mother body.
I compared the tactile feel, and it was very similar to the green sandstone I brought to Yuquan District for stone grinding.That is siltstone, which happens to be the Xiamaling-style siderite found in Xiamaling, Beiping Mentougou and Fangshan areas of Jixian County. The main component is ferrous carbonate, often accompanied by manganese, so the color is more pink.
Xinqu smashed the pink sandstone, and then he became excited!
That's right!It's siderite.
"Hahaha! God help me!" Xin Qu stood up, hurriedly mounted his horse and rushed to the place where he found it.
The smelting method of siderite is much simpler than other iron ores!
This thing can obtain iron through roasting!
Roasting is a process of completing a certain chemical reaction below the melting temperature of the material.
In other words, even without a blast furnace, iron ore can be produced quickly!
Moreover, there is manganese!
It is absolutely possible to make iron manganese armor pieces. Ferromanganese is a treasure with high hardness. It is more than enough to resist the stabbing attacks of current bows and arrows and bronze weapons!
late at night.
Xin Qu appeared in the tent where Xin Huo was sleeping.
The old man was shaken awake and was almost frightened to death by Xin Qu: "You kid... why are you running here?"
After lighting the torch and seeing Xin Qu's excited expression, he was helpless: "Did you find something good?"
"Yes! Take me to see where it was found."
"Okay, come with me."
Xin Huo held the fire and led Xin Qu to the place of discovery.
The torch illuminated the darkness. Xin Qu patted the excavated siltstone. Xin Huo said: "Before going to bed at night, I took a quick look. It spread all the way to the west and then stopped. It must have been more than 1000 steps."
"Just like that?"
Xin Qu frowned and looked at the width of the excavated mine... Actually, this thing is a mine rather than a stone. It should have been washed here during the ancient mudslide.
Maybe only a few hundred tons.
There is also manganese element, which is indeed Xiamaling type rhosite.
Xinqu, whose excitement faded, shook his head helplessly: "That's all, as long as it can be used, we will arrange for people to mine it tomorrow and transport it directly to the workshop in Changping."
"Row."
Xin Huo yawned: "I'm so tormented by your kid... I'm going back to rest, so don't get too excited."
"I know." Xin Qu replied with a smile.
He was estimating how much iron this pile could smelt, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly saw the piece of ore exposed by Xin Huo.
It is even more certain that this thing was rushed here directly.
There is some brownish red color on the water-intrusion traces of the exposed stone, and there is also a layer of black shale section on the weathered surface. It is obviously a stone that was washed down in the transitional area...
Xin Qu stood on the stone and paced, raised his head and saw the dawn sun, the corners of his lips raised slightly: "I remember that the Xiamaling type siderite should be a rich ore, that is, the iron content is more than 25%.
Next, it’s time to make armor!I hope this big guy can burn himself a thousand pounds of iron! "
However, what Xinqu didn't know was that those containing more iron should be brownish red or black due to hydrolysis or weathering.
Only those containing more manganese are more pink.
Therefore, the pile of rocks in front of you is not actually rich in iron ore, but contains more manganese.
But it can still be used.
In the early morning, before anyone woke up, Xinqu had already mounted a fast horse and rushed back to the workshop.
The Iron Age will be started by him!
