Fight,Primitive Man

Chu Dong didn't expect that the mouse beast caught by little golden hair from the underground cave was called the gold swallowing beast.

This kind of gold swallowing beast looks like a mouse, but its food is stone and soil, and its excretion is real metal balls. There is no more beast with higher cost performance than this kind of gold swallowing beast.

For a moment, in Chu Dong's mind, even the bones of the king level beasts were not worth as much as those cowardly day blind gold swallowing beasts.

After hundreds of tribal barbarians were busy all day, tens of thousands of metal balls were cleared from the nest of the gold swallowing beast.

Calculated by the weight of each metal ball at least 30g, the total weight of the metal balls piled up on the Panshi tribal square is more than 1000kg.

That's more than a ton of metal.

Looking at the metal ball like a hill, Chu Dong's eyes were in full bloom.

After knowing how these metal balls are produced, people in the rock tribe are generally not interested in these "mouse excrement". Occasionally, some children play with them as billiards.

"Yeh, take care of those gold swallowing beasts. Don't let them run away until I figure out how to tame them. Especially at night, they may make holes to escape, so they have to hang up with bamboo baskets. "

"Hanging in the fence of little golden hair, frightened by little golden hair, these guys probably can't run away."

Chu Dong showed extraordinary enthusiasm, and even how to take care of those gold swallowing beasts in three shifts made careful arrangements for Yehe and Xia.

As for the metal balls on the square, Chu Dong specially set up an area for the barbarian soldiers to guard in shifts.

Then, Chudong came to the pottery making blast furnace with dozens of metal balls.

Today, the pottery bowls and jars used for drinking water in Panshi tribe have been made, which depends on the blast furnace in front of us.

When he first came to Panshi tribe, Chu Dong had already taken an interest in this blast furnace. Iron smelting and pottery all need blast furnace to heat and bake at high temperature. This process can't be used by himself.

But the people of Panshi tribe have already had the preliminary pottery making skills, which is unique.

The blast furnace in front of us is about three meters high. Its opening is higher than the ground. It has an outer arc in the middle. Its plane is nearly round. The main body is made of hard refractory stone materials, and then the outer layer is smeared with layers of mud.

Mud and refractory stones have long been fused into one, very hard.

From a distance, the whole blast furnace is like a big gourd.

The blast furnace is mainly composed of furnace body, furnace door, taphole, slag outlet, blast mouth, front and rear working face, etc. the furnace door is located in the lower part of the furnace body, arched, and the blast mouth is facing the furnace door.

In front of the stove, Yan and some barbarians are making pottery.

Seeing that Chu Dong came, Yan and the barbarians stopped their work and saluted Chu Dong one after another.

Although Yan's left leg is missing, it doesn't affect his work.

Almost all the stone tools and pottery of the rock came from the silent man and his assistants.

Before the appearance of Chu Dong, Yan's life was very bad. He didn't have enough to eat every day, and he was often despised for his disability.

Only Chu Dong understood that the role of people like Yan was more important than that of senior barbarian soldiers. If there is a handicraft industrialization, Yan is more important than even a god level warrior like Yang.

Therefore, Chu Dong respected Yan very much and gave him the best treatment. Today, Yan doesn't make pottery and stone tools by himself most of the time, but guides young barbarians to make pottery as experts.

"Rock master, are you busy?"

It can be seen from the word "Shi" that Chu Dong attached great importance to rock.

Yan's face showed an excited look, calmed down for a while, and said: "chieftain, please command."

"We've got a lot of metal balls today, haven't you heard?"

He nodded.

"I'd like to use our ceramic blast furnace to make metal balls."

"Refining metal pellets?"

A tiny rock.

"Exactly. What temperature can our blast furnace reach? I don't know if I can melt these metals. "

"Temperature? Not too clear. Anyway, our blast furnace can make clay and loess into pottery. "

"Just have a try."

Chu Dong selected from the dozens of metal balls he brought, and mainly divided them into two piles.

A pile of black metal balls.

The other pile is all kinds of other colors.

There are more black metal balls.

Chudong knew that the black metal is basically iron, and other colors are divided into non-ferrous metals.

The black metal ball and the silver and yellow metal ball were thrown into the blast furnace by Chu Dong.

"Fire

With a command from Yan, several strong young men began to blow the wind to make the fire.All of a sudden, the temperature rose sharply, the distance was close, and I felt waves of heat coming.

Chu Dong also marveled at the wisdom of primitive people.

Of course, this kind of blast furnace can't compare with all kinds of refined steel ironmaking furnaces in modern civilization, but it's an extraordinary invention to be able to build such a blast furnace to make pottery under limited and rough conditions.

It can be seen that the flame is constantly rising, and the color has changed from dark red to dark red. The heat wave hits the face, but Chu Dong and Yan do not retreat, and they are absorbed in the fire.

The flame is jumping. There are orange red flames in the crimson, but at this time, the temperature can't rise again.

Yan shouts: "continue to increase the blast!"

The orange flame became more and more, but it was still dark red.

In the past, Yan pushed away the young man who was in charge of the blast and urged himself.

Rock experienced a lot. After the blast, the flames soared, most of them turned orange.

After several attempts, Yan retreated. In a short time, he was soaked through.

It is also for this reason that during the blast furnace, Yan and other people were almost naked.

"Chieh Wu, we have reached the limit. No matter how high the temperature is, our blast furnace will burst."

"Well, it's almost 1000 degrees, which is beyond my expectation. It is estimated that nonferrous metals have almost melted, and some ferrous metals have to reach the melting point. Turn it on. "

"Good! Turn it on. "

He began to lower the temperature of the fire. When the temperature of the fire almost dropped, he opened the door of the blast furnace with stone tongs, and several refractory plates came out of it.

On the stone plate are the black metal balls and non-ferrous metal balls just put in.

The black metal ball is obviously smaller, but it's still solid.

Most of the non-ferrous metal pellets have melted, and only a few irregular lumps remain.

"Yes, when the metal becomes liquid, it can be made into various shapes."
