Seiun wo Kakeru

Heat-resistant bricks are assembled and the gaps are filled with crushed clay.

A strong furnace was made that was resistant to heat and would not melt or crack easily.

The height is 3.6 meters. It's 40 centimeters wide and 80 centimeters deep.

The form of the furnace is unique, and if the radiation heat reflected is utilized, it becomes very hot.

The chimney is thin and long. It was made to give the heat a little more efficiently.

I was temporarily cooked and was able to put the fire in at any time.

Finally, I had a feeling.

The blacksmith has firewood piled up like a mountain, beside it is a mountain of iron oxide piled in the same way.

It's a work tool that took two months to collect.

Of course Age wasn't made alone.

I borrowed a little hand from inside the village, and took considerable care of things like digging exposed iron, breaking firewood, and assembling furnaces.

Age looked around her workplace.

No iron beds, no hammers, no scissors yet.

I needed to build iron tools from now on.

Instead, the workbench was built.

An old-fashioned Japanese blacksmith would do it sitting in a very low chair on the ground, but it's all raised to modern heights.

For this reason, work could be carried out while standing.

Tania, who came to celebrate the completion of the furnace, exhaled, howling as impressed.

The blacksmith is huge.

Fire resistance becomes more important than using fire.

The brick walls are heavy and very beautiful with some new things.

The rainy ceiling was solid and Fernando's work was found to have a good finish.

"Congratulations on completing"

"Mr. Tania...... we are finally getting to work. You will soon be able to fulfill your duties. I'm sorry I wasted every day."

"You worked very hard every day to prepare. Getting ready until you can is one of your tasks. I thought I was working properly."

"Mr. Tania...... thanks"

"Whoa. You're gonna show me."

"Mr. Fernando...... Don't tear it up."

"No, because it didn't look like I was in the eye at all. Let me tell you something."

When Fernando laughed hahahaha, he realized for the first time that they were creating their own world, Age and Tania made their faces bright red.

Especially as strong as Tania's shyness was, even if she hid her face with her hands, she could see her ears trembling bright red.

Agie bowed her head firmly.

Fernando doesn't receive any compensation from Age for this building.

"Thanks for the great stuff"

"What, because it's a request as a village. The men were borrowed, and the work itself is easy. Besides, I rarely make bricks, so it was a good experience. I think I should take a look at the work. [M] I was interested."

"I don't mind if you're a blacksmith from another village at all. It's just so hot, you might want to look away"

"Nice to meet you. And Mike and Jane are here."

"It's just a neighbor, thank God."

When Age looked at the entrance, a couple of gushy statues stood.

When the gaze is on, gently bow your heads to each other.

Mike had a cage in his hand, loaded with dried meat and dried fruit in it.

Hmm, and they poke out the cage unfathomably.

When Age received it, Jane smiled briskly.

"Congratulations on completing the blacksmith"

"Thank you, Mike and Jane. I'm sorry for all the inconvenience I have caused you every day, but I want to work from now on and give it back to you at all. Best regards,"

"My husband really wants to celebrate."

"Hey!? My mother is so, so awesome!"

"Well, he's such a husband, but keep it up"

"Kuhhh!

"Nice to meet you"

When I dropped Mike off with a groaning face, the village chief came to visit me at the end.

This is the first blacksmith in a village with a population of more than 250.

I guess I cared as a position to rule.

"Yeah, by the way. Fernando does a good job."

"Thank you"

"Good luck with that."

"Yes, I'll take care of it"

"Well, let me give you a tour too."

"Is the village chief too?

"Is there a problem?

"No. Go ahead and take a look. This is what it took me two months to create. And we're going to have to wait a month for you to actually make it satisfactory."

Age moved around before Tania, the village chief and Fernando, who went around on the tour.

The furnace is on fire and the iron doesn't dissolve immediately.

Long before many humans arrived to complete the tour - from the unknown, Age was burning fire here alone.

Throw the firewood into the furnace.

The fire grows louder, along with the patsy and playable sound.

Move the boxes and send the wind.

We get oxygen, and the trees glow bright red.

A lot of radiation fever occurs, and sweat erupts all over Age's face, all over his body.

It's so hot. The sweat dries up in an instant.

It's been a long time.

It takes time for the furnace temperature to rise, but right now, the furnace is very hot.

"Thank you for waiting. I'm ready, so I'm going to explain the work. First, once you have ascertained that the furnace temperature has increased somewhat, put the oxidized iron solidification into the furnace. And unlike earlier, now we add charcoal"

"You're early."

"You know the steps. That's a move."

Age moves fast.

Scoop more and more iron oxide from the furnace mouth and stir. Put charcoal on top of it.

"Next, stop the lid and close the furnace opening with brick"

Bricks pile up at the furnace entrance. As you can see inside, there are only a few gaps open, but not enough for the flames to burn.

The blocking of the furnace outlet cools just a little blacksmith air.

At the same time, the room dimmed.

The light slipping through the doorway illuminates the blacksmith in a blur.

Fernando, who was watching the work, is strangely twisting his neck.

Because we use fire on a daily basis, we know that if we send in the wind, the fire becomes stronger and if we block it, it becomes weaker as a physical feeling.

"Wouldn't the fire go out if I did that?

"Normally you think so, don't you? This bright red iron contains a large amount of ingredient called oxygen needed to burn. Flames that no longer incorporate oxygen from the air try to incorporate oxygen from iron oxide. Look at that. There will still be fire in the furnace."

"True..."

Flame lights are leaking out of the brick gap.

"The furnace temperature is approximately 900-1200°C. Oxidation is reduced at 900°C and impurities called slugs flow out up to 1200°C. Temperature can be seen by looking at the flames. Low flames are red, high flames are orange to yellow, and white.... Come on, it's time for good. reduction, and retrieve the iron from which the slug has flown."

"What do you mean, 900°C or something?

"It's about how hot it is."

Age also moved out quickly.

When bricks are removed, iron is removed with a scoop.

First, molten impurities were pouring down in various places.

melted like lava. It slowly falls and when it hits the water tensioned in front it raises a large amount of steam and cools.

Behind the furnace, the iron was burning bright red.

"Ho, burn bright red"

"Won't you burn...... I'm worried"

"It's better because you have leather gloves. Actually, if you slow down, you burn."

"It's a dangerous job."

"If you move quickly, it won't be rare. The aim is an iron hammer. This time, use a bronze hammer to beat out the impurities in the iron."

There is no iron floor, so hammer a chunk of iron placed on a large stone.

Sparks scatter.

An impurity called gold shit (or no more) splashes around like fireworks.

A splashing flame illuminates the face of Pa, Pa and Age.

"The impurities will be removed and shaped by beating molten iron. The key this time is to make it faster than accuracy, so once the slug is firmly removed, there will be no folding process."

The folding process is a way to eliminate the ingredient "matara”.

The iron that has just been removed has a constant strength due to the distribution of its components.

However, Age did not intend to make the hammer this time as the final tool, so this process is omitted.

Place the cooling iron chunks in the furnace again, and when they are cooked red, remove and beat again.

Replace the tip of the bronze spear with a pin to create a patterned part.

"Enter the process of increasing iron strength, watering and quenching. Water-beating means beating hammers wet in water."

I hear a high and clear noise with Kiin, Kiin.

Baking in flames oxidizes the surface of iron.

This needs to be removed as the intensity of the place decreases.

Water punching is a process that removes this oxide membrane by causing a water vapor explosion due to the sudden rise in water temperature.

At this time, the vibrations of the explosion tremble iron, making a surprisingly clear sound.

"Finally, it is a sintering that keeps the iron ingredients uniform and improves strength to the highest. Add crimson iron to water, or oil, or, rarely, honey, etc."

Age puts a hammer in the bucket.

The bucket ignites, along with the sound of evaporation called Shgo.

The contents were oil. In an instant, the ignition point is exceeded and the oil lights up.

Would have waited for about a minute as it was, checking that the iron temperature had dropped sufficiently, pulling out the hammer.

"The lower the iron temperature, the harder it becomes. As much as you really want to cool it down with snow, but substitute it by using river water. … to the iron that finally becomes too stiff, a baking process will be carried out, with sufficient flexibility"

It is one of the techniques used in Japanese swords, also known as martensite.

Baking is a task that requires skilled technique, with temperatures varying depending on what you make.

The cut is low, and anything that is missing and troubled like a hammer finishes high.

Having completed all the steps, Age removes the melting impurities from the furnace and feeds in the wind to increase the furnace temperature.

"This is a repetition of work, isn't it? I showed you something boring."

"It was amazing. It's a lot of work to make one thing."

"Yeah. I'm impressed, too. That's awesome."

"Hmm. Don't worry about this."

"It's actually a lot more laborious, but this time I've saved it. We will carefully make each one, so please help us."

Black glowing iron chunks.

If you plug the pattern in there, it will be a hammer you are used to seeing if you age it.

But the others were fascinated by the sheen that no one had ever seen.

To be remembered - it was production number one.
