I, Dasheng Sun, swear not to become a Buddha

Simple smelting of a few tools every day is okay, but it is not yet possible to smelt a large amount of iron.

Monkey King understands that under the conditions of this era, he wants to increase the production of iron.

It is necessary to improve earthen kilns or charcoal, and these tasks have to be slowly explored by craftsmen.

Of course, there is another way, which is to find more efficient fuels, such as: coal!

Now that the space is expanding again, maybe coal mines can be found in the space.

After the iron smelting is over today, you can go out and bring Chen Zhuo's ten-member team in.

After they come in, they can go to find mines. Now, besides all kinds of metal ores, there is another goal to look for.Find coal, black ore!

Sun Wukong also took out the molten iron from the bottom of the earthen kiln. He was not afraid of the high temperature of the flames, so he could do it directly.

But if it was someone else, even a level [-] warrior would have to use tools to do it.

Just this move shocked the four craftsmen and the two elders a little.

Especially Mr. Han Kang, watching Sun Wukong fish out the molten iron with his bare hands, his eyelids bulged.

Sun Wukong weighed the cooled iron lump and weighed more than six catties!This is the first time that Chen Tianbu has smelted iron by himself.

In this era and in this world, even if it is possible to cultivate, ironware is still an indispensable and important tool for human beings, otherwise it would not be hidden as a treasure by the Jinyang Department.

"Come on. Let's see if we can evolve metal." Sun Wukong called Chen Jin, who was waiting on the side, to come over.

He has been unable to intervene, and has been waiting by the side for a long time.

Finally had the opportunity to perform in front of the master, and immediately ran over in a hurry.

This guy looked at the iron lump in Sun Wukong's hand, then stretched out his hand and used all his strength to release his divine power.

The divine light flashed in his palm, and it took half an hour to evolve into pure iron the size of a fingernail. Even so, he was sweating profusely.

All right.It's hopeless, Chen Jin can produce at most a catty of iron after a whole day, and he will probably die from exhaustion.

"Burn it! Continue to burn it hard!" Monkey King broke the iron lump into two pieces and threw one piece back into the kiln.

If you want to remove the impurities in the iron block, there is only one way now is forging.

This is also the forging technology created by the ancient ancestors, which is called Baisteelmaking.

Chen Lu got up and began to release his divine power to increase the temperature of the flame, and the craftsman who fanned the wind also started to shake his fan.

The purpose this time is to burn the iron block to red, it does not need to be completely melted, and it needs to be taken out and beaten for a while every time it is burned.

In this way, Chen Lu's pressure was reduced a lot, and he was barely able to grit his teeth and persevere.

When the iron block was burned red, Monkey King picked up the iron lump and put it on the big stone blacksmithing platform next to it.

While burning the iron just now, Monkey King squeezed another piece of iron that had not been put into the stove into a square iron lump.

Then it was pierced with a stick to make a simple hammer.

As far as this process is concerned, only Monkey King himself can complete it at present.

No way, there are no tools now, he has to do it himself.

But as long as some tools are made, the future work can be safely handed over to the craftsmen.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Sun Wukong swung a simple iron hammer at the iron block with a burst of hammering.

Every time he struck, some black impurities would be squeezed out of the glowing red iron.

"These are the impurities in the iron block. As long as you keep forging, the impurities can be squeezed out." Sun Wukong explained to the four craftsmen while forging the iron.

Wait until the temperature of the iron block drops, and then throw it back into the furnace to continue burning.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

After burning, continue to forge, this time a different craftsman came up to try.

He was clumsy when he first started striking, but he quickly mastered the strength of the iron.

"Dang! Dang!" There was a sense of rhythm when it was struck, unlike Monkey King who knew how to slam.

The craftsman wisdom of this era is already extraordinary.

After four rounds of rotation, the four craftsmen were all familiar with the craft of blacksmithing, and the lump of iron that had been hammered and tempered was basically formed.

Sun Wukong weighed it, it should be about two and a half catties, and the impurities were beaten out to be half a catty.

After that, Sun Wukong was still the one who started directly. He squeezed the iron lump into a rectangular iron block, intending to make a new hammer.

The hammer pinched by the iron lump just now was not very easy to use, and now it is full of holes.

After thinking about it, the hammer is not as good as the axe, it can hammer and chop.

So he kneaded the other side of the hammer into an ax blade, and the kneading was not perfect, and it seemed that he would have to hammer and sharpen it later.

Before Sun Wukong could pinch it, Elder Fan Ming shouted excitedly: "Iron axe! It's an iron axe! What Xiaoyuan made is an iron axe!"

In the past, the axes in the tribe were all stone tools, and cutting down a tree basically relied on the brute force of cultivation, otherwise the stone axes would be easily broken.

They know the toughness of ironware, and they can feel it from those agricultural tools.

Well now, with the iron axe, I can save a lot of effort when making woodwork in the future.

"Elder Fan Ming. This is indeed an iron axe. In the future we will not only have iron axes, but also iron hammers, iron knives, and iron swords! All tools can be made of iron!"

The eyes of the two elders were wet, and the four craftsmen burst into tears with excitement.

No one understands the value of tools better than them, manpower is limited after all.

But with the assistance of tools, craftsmen can accomplish many things that could not be done before.

The birth of ironware definitely had epoch-making significance for Chen Tianbu.

At this time, the ax in Sun Wukong's hand was basically formed. Although it hadn't been sharpened yet, it was already shining like iron when it was worn on the wooden stick.

The clansmen who were building houses in the distance heard the shouts here, and ran to watch the excitement.

It turned out that it was the young master who had practiced the iron weapon, and everyone started to tell each other.

It didn't take long for a thousand Chentian tribesmen to start, and all of them came to Monkey King.

They cheered and celebrated, celebrating the coming of a great era.

Sun Wukong also gradually walked into their hearts, and gradually grew from the patriarch's son to a real young emperor.

Sun Wukong looked at the crowd of Chen Tianbu who surrounded him, and said seriously:

"From today! Our Chen Tianbu will officially enter the Iron Age!"

"Iron Age!"

"Iron Age!"

===Chapter 1503 The labor force has come to your door===

Chapter 1503 The Labor Force Comes

The successful production of the iron ax gave Baoding two more technologies, technologies: 1st level of smelting and 1st level of forging.

And with the completion of the residence of a thousand people, the construction skills have also been promoted to level 2.

That night, Monkey King planned to bring in Chen Zhuo's ten-member team.

"I want to go in and play too!" The old lady ran over and shouted.

"Okay. It's not bad for you to go in and help me dry the vegetables with the clansmen."

The old lady is still very serious when she is working, especially when she puts the objects together, the pots and pans are neatly arranged. Sometimes he wonders if the old lady has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The group of ten officially entered the space, with colored ores, this is what they were looking for.

With the joining of the new force, the development of Renhuangding is on the right track.

It was already mid-June, and the food stocks in the tribe could last up to three months.

According to the calculations of the elders, the grain produced this year can last up to two months.

That is to say, around the end of November, Chen Tianbu will be in a situation of running out of food.

The thousand clansmen had to produce enough food before the food ran out.

Ding Nei Space's main crops are lettuce, dandelion, bracken and three or four types of mushrooms.

At present, the clansmen have not mastered the cultivation technology of mushrooms, so the cultivation of mushrooms can only be managed by big rabbits.

All kinds of work began to proceed in an orderly manner, and now what Monkey King can do is to look around for creatures to refill the Human Emperor's Cauldron.

The degree of prosperity has already exceeded 8. As long as enough creatures are found, another layer of restriction can be lifted.

Time passed, and when June was low, Chen Zhuo's expedition sent back news.

In a valley two hundred miles north of Mount Everest, they found a silver-gray stone.

Monkey King rushed over curiously and arrived at the place where Chen Zhuo found the ore.

The gravel scattered on the ground was dug out by Chen Zhuo and the others.

They discovered this kind of stone yesterday. In order to verify that it was not just an accidental piece, they dug up a piece of earth and rock with their shovels.

The shovels were made in the iron smelting workshop these days. It only took two days for the craftsmen to basically master the techniques of iron smelting and forging. Now four craftsmen and ten small workers are rushing to make various tools.

The earthen kiln was remodeled by Fan Ming, and the temperature in the kiln has increased a lot. Chen Lu can already control the flame as easily as he did when he was making salt.

As long as he finds coal, Chen Lu can be freed from the work of making iron.

Sun Wukong looked at the exposed ore. Among the gray-brown stones, there were some silver-gray spots of different sizes.

Sun Wukong took a look and was sure that it was a kind of metal ore, but he couldn't be sure what it was. In his impression, there are many kinds of metals with this color, such as tin, silver, aluminum, lead, etc.

Sun Wukong dug a piece down and flashed back to the iron workshop.

There are already four smelting furnaces here, and Monkey King found a furnace that had just finished smelting iron ore, and threw the crushed silver ore into it.

Not long after the ore powder was thrown in, a large amount of metal solution began to melt.

"It's a tin mine!"

Monkey King basically affirmed the type of this ore. Tin has a low melting point, so it melted as soon as it was thrown into the furnace.

"Young master? Have you found new metal?" The craftsman of the Ming Furnace leaned over and said excitedly when he saw the molten metal in the furnace.

"Well, this thing is called tin. It's a pity that it can't be used directly. We need to find a metal called copper." Monkey King took out all the tin and said to the craftsman.

After more than ten days of getting along with each other, the [-] clansmen in the inner space of the cauldron already have a high degree of confidence in Sun Wukong.

They admire Sun Wukong's knowledge so much that they even feel that it is the patriarch and the four elders.

There is no such profound knowledge as the young master, it seems that there is nothing he does not know.

Sun Wukong returned to the location of the tin ore, and Chen Zhuo and the others were still waiting for news.

"Good job! It is indeed a useful metal, and I have recorded this position." Sun Wukong said to Chen Zhuo and the two with a smile.

The ten of them were divided into five groups and searched in different directions. The two of them, Chen Zhuo, were the first group to find the ore.

With Sun Wukong's affirmation, the two became more motivated, and immediately bid farewell to Monkey King and started a new journey of exploration.

The day after the tin ore was found, Chen Tianbu had two guests.

It is one of the two tribes in the lower reaches of the river, the patriarch and elder of the Yuanshui tribe.

They were already facing the dilemma of running out of food due to the shrinking of the river. In order to find a way to survive, they could only come to Chen Tianbu for help.

Chen Tian took Monkey King to meet the two guests.

"Patriarch Chen Tian, ​​please help our people. The river we rely on for survival has narrowed a lot, and now we can't salvage enough food." The chief of the Yuanshui tribe begged straight to the point.

The name of their tribe is named after the patriarch, but each generation of their patriarch is called Yuanshui.

"I sympathize with what happened to the Yuanshui Department. We also know about the narrowing of the river. Our Chen Tian Department is just upstream of the Yuanshui Department. The change of the river is earlier than you know." Chen Tian helped the prostrating man to the ground Yuanshui patriarch and elder said.

"This year's weather is weird. It's rainy in spring and floods in summer. However, the amount of water in the river is decreasing. Our Chen Tianbu was attacked by a large group of monsters a while ago, and now we are too busy to take care of ourselves. I'm afraid we won't be able to spare any energy to help you." Chen Tian was ashamed. expression said.

Yuan Shui said with a mournful face: "I also understand your difficulties here. I heard about the monster beast tide some time ago from the captured monster beasts. We really have no other way to beg you."

At the beginning, he looked at Chen Tian who had no expression and sighed: "Oh! Is there really no other way? From our tribe to the Shanyao tribe, there is a journey of seven thousand miles, and the tribe must not be able to persist until There."

"Oh! Sorry, our Chen Tian Department is unable to help you anymore." Chen Tian shook his head and said.
