Chapter 93 The champion of the sword forging competition comes forward: Ye Xuan, you liar!

After drying the mud bricks for a few days and then baking them one by one in the kiln, Ye Xuan began the formal construction process of the brick kiln.

The process of building a brick kiln is actually also called kiln installation.

First starting with wet clay, Ye Xuan soon piled two layers of mud bricks on the bottom to fix the basic outline of the brick kiln.

Continue to use clay to smooth out the interior and leave the ash outlet. After each layer of bricks is installed, Ye Xuan puts some crushed charcoal and clay on top.

After working hard for several days, netizens witnessed with their own eyes a brick kiln that was as tall as a small bungalow rising from the ground.

Seeing that the preparations for the brick kiln were all in place, netizens were also curious and scrolling one after another.

"Is it going to be iron smelting next?!"

"I'm curious if Ye Xuan can really make iron successfully?! This is a professional craft!"

"I now have incredible confidence in Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan is absolutely fine!"

Some netizens are full of curiosity, some have increased their confidence in Ye Xuan, and some netizens are waiting for Ye Xuan's next step.

Under the camera, Ye Xuan took the iron ore exchanged with the villagers, picked up a sledgehammer and began to crush the ore of different sizes.

Not only that, Ye Xuan also ground the shells he had prepared in advance and crushed them one by one into powder.

With a series of preparations in place, the next step is the process of lighting the kiln.

After putting the firewood chopped from the mountain in advance into the ignition channel of the brick kiln one by one, Ye Xuan also made a homemade blower.

The blower whirred and the matches in the brick kiln were quickly lit.

Netizens in the live broadcast room saw layers of smoke coming out of the furnace mouth, and the raging fire burned the entire brick kiln red.

"How long will this burn?"

"Ye Xuan won't have to stay in front of this brick kiln, right?"

"I didn't expect that Ye Xuan would actually build it into a brick kiln..."

……

A series of comments from netizens also fell into Ye Xuan's eyes, and Ye Xuan smiled slightly.

"I just need to keep the flame inside and keep adding firewood."

While talking, Ye Xuan added a lot of firewood to the inside of the brick kiln.

Afterwards, netizens in the live broadcast room watched helplessly as Ye Xuan ate and drank, then lay on the rocking chair in the yard and took a nap.

After waking up, Ye Xuan stretched, and then lazily continued to walk to the brick kiln to add firewood.

With the continuous addition of firewood and wind, the flames in the brick kiln became more and more prosperous.

As the sky darkens, the brick kiln is even more emitting a red light, which looks quite spectacular.

Thinking that the temperature in the brick kiln was already enough, Ye Xuan quickly poured in a shovelful of coal ash and added the already ground iron ore.

He continued to add firewood and fire, and when the fire became more and more intense, Ye Xuan poured in coal ash and iron ore again, and repeated the action just now.

The purpose of this back and forth movement is to form a layer of coal and a layer of iron ore in the furnace. The carbon monoxide produced by the coal will make it easier to smelt iron.

During this period, the shell powder prepared in advance was also put in one by one.

After repeating this process more than ten times, while the furnace was still burning, he opened the preset exit at the bottom of the brick kiln. Ye Xuan quickly took out the red-hot slag with iron tongs.

The iron ore powder that was originally poured in shovel by shovel has burned into an iron ore mass nearly the size of a basketball under the burning flames. "All the iron is inside now, we need to remove the impurities on the surface first..."

After briefly introducing a few words to the netizens in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan quickly picked up the hammer and knocked up the crumbs on the surface.

When the slag with a dark surface like ink was smashed one by one by Ye Xuan, everyone saw that Ye Xuan continued to stuff the iron ore into the brick kiln.

At the same time, large quantities of firewood were stuffed into the brick kiln, and the blower on the side was whirring.

A few hours later, when he judged that the burning time was almost over, Ye Xuan continued to pick out the ball of iron slag that had been roasted red, and began to beat it, removing impurities on the surface of the iron slag bit by bit.

Seeing Ye Xuan's serious look, the netizens in the live broadcast room were also discussing one by one.

"Can Ye Xuan really refine iron?!"

"I look at Xuan. Every step seems to be quite crude!"

"The main reason is that now that steel smelting has been fully automated and industrialized, how can Ye Xuan's pure handiwork compare to domestic machinery?! Isn't this equivalent to the collision of agricultural civilization and industrial civilization?!"

"Yeah, can such a rough iron slag really make a knife?!"

Just as netizens were scrolling one after another, some netizens reposted Ye Xuan’s live broadcast room, and Aite attracted many professionals.

Among them, Lao Zhengtou, who was the champion of the first domestic knife forging competition, received many comments from netizens.

"Can Mr. Zheng help us take a look at Ye Xuan's professional blacksmithing process?!"

"Old Zheng! How about evaluating Ye Xuan's blacksmithing process from a professional perspective?!"

……

Lao Zhengtou, whom countless netizens call him, is a retired blacksmith in his 60s.

He has been deeply involved in blacksmithing skills for nearly half his life, and he just happened to win the championship in the knife forging competition.

With the popularity of the knife forging competition, Lao Zhengtou opened a self-media account on the Internet. On the one hand, he also wanted to have more contact with young people, and on the other hand, he also planned to spread his knife forging skills.

As soon as he went online, he received countless private messages from netizens.

If you look carefully, you can see that many people have forwarded Ye Xuan's related videos.

He murmured in his heart that the name Ye Xuan seemed familiar, but after all, Old Zhengtou didn't pay much attention to things outside his own industry.

After muttering a few words, Old Zhengtou quickly forgot about the name Ye Xuan and immediately clicked on the video clip sent by the netizen.

When he saw Ye Xuan building an extremely crude brick kiln, and even the iron ore used was extremely rough, Old Zheng's two thick brows immediately knitted together.

How could such a crude tool be used to smelt iron? !
At first glance, it’s another anchor who’s generating traffic!
Thinking that he must expose the scam of this traffic-generating anchor to netizens, Lao Zhengtou immediately clicked into Ye Xuan's live broadcast room.

When he noticed that Ye Xuan's live broadcast room was not open, Old Zheng frowned slightly.

Such an unlucky thing? !
Subconsciously he glanced at Ye Xuan's fans and saw that Ye Xuan's fans were already close to 900 million, and when they were about to exceed [-] million in a blink of an eye, Old Zheng banged his head on the table.

"Okay! Already a millionaire blogger, why don't you set a good example for netizens?!"

With this idea in mind, Lao Zhengtou immediately followed Ye Xuan's Douyin account and even set it as a special follower.

"I have to expose this anchor's scam to prevent everyone from being deceived."

After muttering to himself, Old Zhengtou began to think about Ye Xuan's live broadcast room all the time.

In the afternoon of that day, after the special attention reminder message came from his mobile phone, Lao Zhengtou immediately followed countless netizens into Ye Xuan's live broadcast room and typed out an angry speech.

"Ye Xuan, you liar, I must stand up today to crack down on the fraud!"
