The strongest miner in the universe

Chapter 556
Countless powdered hematite, deposited in one place, will form rocks like riverbanks, right?
Gao Jiuding was able to confirm that every river embankment contained iron ore, and the content was not low!
However, this level of iron ore has no value in refining equipment, especially for cultivation civilizations with very low productivity.

At this time, Gao Jiuding was completely relieved. There was indeed iron ore here, but he didn't know whether the iron ore in a place where the aura was dense would absorb the aura like a coal mine?

If it also contains spiritual energy, then the iron ore here is not ordinary iron, but spiritual iron, or refined iron.

Above the demon star, the most common iron ore produces fine iron, and if it continues to be refined, it will form steel mother.

In Gao Jiuding's view, this is actually iron and steel smelting. The first smelting is iron, and further refining is steel.

"Come on, look here, there should be red rocks below, maybe buried in the mud, you get some pieces up!" After finding a few pieces of iron ore, Gao Jiuding directly fooled the two idiots.

"Why don't you go down and do it? It's too smelly, I won't go!" Maverick was not stupid either.

Gao Jiuding said directly: "I'll give you a refined iron axe, all made of refined iron!"

"Really? No, where did you get the refined iron? We have no spirit stones, and we can't even buy them!" Maverick immediately responded.

Gao Jiuding smiled and said, "I'll give you another big iron pot. A tripod is also fine. In the future, it can be used for cooking or forging!"

Yi Hu fell silent. He looked at Gao Jiuding with distrust, but finally he jumped into the water.

Just a moment later, streams of red mud appeared in the dam, and then the Maverick came out.

Yihu was holding a huge rock, and just when it came out, it sank into the water again.

"Can't you come up? Come up from below!" Gao Jiuding reminded.

In just a moment, Yihu walked onto the shore with a big stone that was one meter long and fifty centimeters wide.

"You won't lie to me, will you?" Maverick said while still holding the 500-jin boulder on the ground.

"It's indeed iron ore. Look at my clothes. If I toss about it, it will be broken. Otherwise, I will definitely go down!" Gao Jiuding said with a smile.

"It's strange to believe you, you won't take off your clothes and go down?" Maverick is really not stupid.

"Haha, this is not important, look, I said there are iron mines?" Gao Jiuding said with a smile on his face as he knocked on the stone.

"Who doesn't know it's iron ore? It's mainly stone, with a very low iron content. Blacksmiths don't accept it at all. Otherwise, this place would have been turned upside down long ago!" Maverick said angrily. .

"You still know about iron ore?" Gao Jiuding looked at Yihu strangely and asked.

"We hunters are not only hunting in the mountains, we will pick up any good things we encounter, such as various ores, such as medicinal materials, as long as they can be sold for money, we want them." Maverick showed a small look of contempt, looked at Gao Jiuding said.

"Okay, wait and see what I can do, bring the stone and we'll go back, or it will be too late!" Gao Jiuding waved his hand, intending to let Yihu carry the ore back.

Although Maverick doubted Gao Jiuding's methods, he obediently picked up the huge ore.

The two of them took turns carrying the ore, and it took all their strength to return to the sect.

It is difficult for them to return to the sect with this image without attracting attention. Therefore, the sect soon got the news that a handyman named Ding had found a huge piece of iron ore.

"We are famous now, if you can't produce refined iron now, you will definitely become a joke of the sect!" Sitting on the ground, Yihu said worriedly while watching Gao Jiuding busy.

Gao Jiuding didn't care what Yihu thought, he had already made preparations for making iron.

There is Guanyin soil in the valley, which is formed by alluvial rainwater. So what is Guanyin soil?In fact, it is a kind of kaolin, mixed with quartz sand or something and fired, it will form an extremely high temperature resistant refractory material, which can be used to make crucibles.

China's ancient crucible steelmaking method is to use this kind of crucible to add graphite, and use carburizing method to melt into pig iron to make steel.

Gao Jiuding does not make steel, all he needs is a refractory crucible that can hold molten steel.

In order to successfully fire the crucible, Gao Jiuding searched for information before, but now he only needs to use the local charcoal and burn it vigorously. As long as the iron ore can be melted, he can refine refined iron.

Gao Jiuding was in his hometown when he was a child. He saw craftsmen casting iron pots. He used a crucible to melt the miscellaneous iron, removed the impurities on it, and poured it directly into the mold. It was easy and not difficult. Gao Jiuding was really good. If you don't believe me, casting an iron pot can still stump him?
The crucible, the mold, the ore and coal are all there, and there is still a bellows!
The bellows are very important. If there is no bellows, the temperature of the charcoal fire may not be reached, and the iron ore cannot be melted.

Next, Yi Hu became busy again, there was no way, Gao Jiuding could only move his mouth but not his hands.

Maverick is just the opposite. He has strong hands-on ability and is the most standard coolie player.

Cut down a tree, break it into pieces, bind it into a box, get a piece of animal skin, nail it on a wooden board the same size as a wooden box, push and pull, and the wind is born naturally.

This description may not be easy to understand. If it is a syringe, it is easy to understand. The square syringe, once pushed, the air is quickly squeezed out. If the air outlet is small, it will form a powerful blow. force.

After the air is blown out, pull it again, and the syringe will suck in air, which will naturally form a gust of wind to fill the bellows, and then push and pull again, forming a manual hair dryer that goes back and forth.

Maverick's handwork is just passable, and the bellows made are a bit leaky. However, as long as the speed is fast, it can still squeeze out a strong wind, which is also passable.

"Fire!" Gao Jiuding shouted happily when everything was ready.

From now on, he will reach the pinnacle of his life, at least he should not have to sleep in a grass shed and eat stewed animal meat that doesn't even have salt.

"In this way, can you really smelt iron?" Looking at the clay pot full of ore, Maverick really couldn't believe that this thing can have the effect of a smelting furnace!
"Don't pull the bellows, wait until the charcoal is burning hot!" Gao Jiuding felt a little regretful, he should have trained the Mavericks earlier, it's no wonder that every alchemist and weapon refiner has his own team to support him. Working is really tiring, and now Gao Jiuding is very tired.

Teach Yihu carefully, let him know the whole iron-making process, so that he can cooperate well, or in other words, work well.

The ore has been smashed to pieces, the crucible should be able to withstand the high temperature, and the bellows is still working. As long as the temperature is high, it should not be difficult to refine some refined iron.

Gao Jiuding was a little apprehensive, he was also refining for the first time, and he was a little uncertain.

Of course, others have no idea, but it is really surprising that two sect juniors want to refine weapons, so at this time, someone is watching them on a high cliff beside the small canyon.

"Is this the refining tool you mentioned?"

"When did I say refining equipment? This is obviously refining materials, okay?"

"How to refine it? What is made out of that mud? If refining is so easy, everyone will be a refining master!"

"I said, this is not a refining tool, by the way, it is not a refining material, we are here for the boy, to find the ore!"

"Yes, prospecting, do you think it's true? Although this kid's origin is unknown, how can he not know that we have no intention of killing people at all? If he really has the ability to prospect, what's the benefit of being exposed?"

"I don't believe it either, so I let you take a look. If there are master prospectors in our sect, we won't let them out!"

"What do you want me to see now? Just watch that kid refine the ore?"

"You don't feel that he is interesting?"

"It's very interesting. There is no smelting furnace, and mud tires are used instead. There is no spiritual fire, and coal for cooking is used instead. A kid who doesn't even have spiritual enlightenment, can't release spiritual energy at all. I really want to know how he Remove impurities in ore?
By the way, it also requires him to be able to refine ore, relying on that wooden box with air leakage on all sides?This is a blower, right?This is the first time I have seen how much temperature can be increased by using wind power to increase firepower? "

"Don't say that, he is a kid who has not entered the blood refinement stage, if he wants to refine weapons, he can only use these methods to make do with it. You have to admit that his idea is very good, and there is no way to do it. He has an alternative!"

"Well, the temperature of the flame is not bad, it's actually higher than the temperature of ordinary spirit wood? That thing is called a bellows, right? It does increase the temperature, and the ore actually shows signs of melting. Also, why is the mud tire burning red? , didn’t melt either?”

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you interested? You don't think this kid can really refine ore, do you?"

"The question is, where did he get the rubbish? Can he really extract ore by doing this?"

"Is it melted?"

"His stupid method is really good. It melts. If it can really remove impurities, it is really possible to extract refined iron. Even if I use it to refine weapons, it will be fine!"

"So, this kid's idea is okay?"

"Even if it is done, what's the use? Are you sure he will prospect?"

"Sure, if it's true, we've found a treasure this time!"

"Well, no one would be stupid. Let this kind of person come undercover. Maybe he is really from the leader of the Yaozu!"

"There is no need to doubt this. Seeing how pampered he is, he doesn't look like a slave who has suffered a lot. If he doesn't have some skills, he won't get preferential treatment anywhere!"

"Over there, I don't doubt it. Tell me, could he be an outsider?"

"Do you think those demons outside the sky will send talents like us?"

"It's true. Compared with those extraterrestrial demons, we are short of materials. As long as we have enough materials, relying on our refining technology, we can definitely throw them a few planets."
