Chapter 156 Big Sword
"I looked at our tools and realized they haven't been upgraded in a long time. This time I want to make a big knife that I can use for self-defense."

Shi Nianqing actually already had a method for making firearms in his mind, so it was not impossible to make a homemade gun.

However, we haven't found anything to make gunpowder yet, so there's no point in making a homemade gun.

Therefore, if you want to make a broadsword first, and make a hard broadsword, you definitely cannot use pig iron, and it requires a long period of solute forging.

The original furnace was no longer sufficient, and Shi Nianqing needed to build a larger place for smelting iron.

Shi Nianqing found an area near the edge of the jungle.

Prepare to turn this place into your own weapons workshop.

Using clay and sand, a large iron kiln was built.

This is an iron kiln made according to the standards of ancient craftsmen. It has a very large fan underneath. Once it is pulled, it will generate a large amount of wind, driving the growth of the flame inside.

Next, a furnace specifically used to burn molten iron is made. Charcoal needs to be placed around the furnace to ensure that the temperature of the furnace is high enough.

In the middle is a crucible made of iron and clay.

The three people didn't have to think about how to build it at all. They just followed Shi Nianqing's instructions. In just three days, they bought an iron smelting room with complete infrastructure and built it.

This place can be used not only for iron smelting, but also for making pottery.

Even porcelain can be made if the temperature is high enough.

"Now this place can be used to make all kinds of things. The stoves in front of our shelter can be demolished except for the one used to bake cakes."

At the same time, there are a lot of empty areas in this place, so if there are tools that need to be added later, construction can continue.

Next to the big iron, a water tank was made with cement and clay.

Shi Nianqing was planning to forge iron in this place, and next to it was a charcoal furnace for burning ironware.

According to the habits of ancient craftsmen, areas with consistent traffic lines were completely formed.

Here you can heat, forge and quench.

“In this place, we can upgrade and build more tools.”

There happened to be some iron slag left over nearby, so other people could come and help.

Place the iron beads inside the crucible and wait for the iron slurry inside to slowly melt.

Shi Nianqing used a clay mold to make something that looked like a hammer and poured molten iron into it.

Soon a handy hammer was made. Using the same method, Shi Nianqing made a bottom for hammering and a long pair of pliers.

After making these tools, there are not many iron beads left.

Then they continued to use the ore to smelt iron. With the help of several people, a large number of iron beads were soon produced.

Put it in a ventilated charcoal stove to bake, and soon you will see that the iron slowly begins to melt.

It is quickly taken out for forging, and the impurities inside are continuously squeezed out.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of iron hitting each other continued to echo in the jungle and soon disappeared.

After the temperature slowly drops, put the iron block back into the furnace to burn.

It can be clearly seen that the impurities in the ironware are getting less and less.

Every time it is forged, the impurities inside burst out like sparks.

During the forging process, the iron tool in his hand gradually turned into the shape of a big knife.

It's a massive hilt.

Several people around were observing curiously, as it was the first time they had seen such a big knife.

The iron tools they held were mostly in the shape of small daggers. This was the first time I'd seen such a large sword. [Are they making large weapons?]

[I think we have enough weapons now. What does Shi Nianqing want to do by making so many weapons?]

Shi Nianqing is already living a comfortable life. Does she still want to conquer the world alone?

[I really don't understand, what's the point of Shi Nianqing doing all this? Now that he's full and satisfied, he's always doing something else.]

……

Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room didn’t understand. Shi Nianqing was obviously well fed and well-drinking, and even lived a better life than most anchors.

I don’t know what Shi Nianqing wants to do next?
Shi Nianqing did not respond to the audience in the live broadcast room, but continued with his actions.

The sound of iron hitting each other continued to echo. Shi Nianqing folded the already stretched iron together again and struck it again.

The people watching the live broadcast were stunned.

Even Su Muge and the others didn't understand.

"What is Sister Shi doing? Why are you folding these things?" Wu Xuan asked the question in his mind directly.

The other two shook their heads; they didn't understand either.

Shi Nianqing happened to hear this and replied directly: "This is Hundred Layers of Steel. During the period of iron forging, it is continuously forged, which will reduce the impurities inside and increase the hardness of the knife."

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room began to look up information.

It was found out quickly.

[Hundred-fold steel, which is made through continuous forging and stacking, becomes denser and more compact while removing impurities. This requires craftsmen to observe with special instruments to successfully produce it.]

[Oh my god, Sister Shi is actually going to do something this big?]

The production of Baidi Steel requires experienced craftsmen and superb skills. The process is complex and time-consuming, and requires extremely high control of temperature and strength. This is the information I found.

[Sister Shi is so amazing, can she really make it work? ]

……

As more and more people discussed in the live broadcast room, Shi Nianqing was not affected by the outside world at all.

Dedicated himself to making this big knife.

So it was evening, and Shi Nianqing was still forging without stopping, his hands never stopping.

Now he didn't even glance at the people around him, as if he was trapped in a special situation.

The other people had thought about stopping him, but such long hours of labor could easily harm the body.

But after seeing Shi Nianqing's face, they didn't dare to move at all.

In the end, they cooked and brought the food here.

Put it aside and wait for Nianqing to finish it so that she can eat it immediately to replenish her energy.

When Shi Nianqing saw the food next to her, a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes.

His hands were constantly moving, and during the break, he took a few bites of rice.

Finally got some blood back.

There can't be any mistakes now. If there is even the slightest mistake, all the efforts of this big knife in my hand will be wasted.

Several people watched from the side and tried to bring some water and food.

Shi Nianqing maintained this state for a whole day and night.

It was not until noon the next day that Shi Nianqing finally stopped.
