Chapter 857

Seeing this, they got up quickly, met Zhang Feng and hurried to the forging workshop.

At the beginning of July, although the smell was not as hot as before, the temperature of the forging workshop was extremely high. From a distance, it seemed that only ten strange forging furnaces in the forging workshop were burning red. However, as soon as he walked in, Zhang Feng found out in the heat wave, The forging furnaces brought by Lao Li and them had long been dismantled by these people. There was nothing left.

In the original mountain wall, there was a smelting furnace two feet high. At this time, several western people wearing only crotch cloth were desperately putting charcoal in it.

Alchinnon and Zhang Feng walked around these people and entered the natural cave which was only one foot deep before.

Everyone looked at Zhang Feng. Although they had no sense of vigilance, they didn't pay half of their attention. It was like Zhang Feng was a transparent person, and Zhang Feng didn't care about these. With alchinnon, they entered the cave that was expanded again.

As soon as he entered the cave, a heat wave almost made Zhang Feng faint.

The key is that there is also a unique cumin flavor of western people in this heat wave.

Zhang Feng resisted the strange smell and looked at the furnace pulled out on the mountain wall by a pure hand on the side of the cliff. He frowned slightly.

The furnace uses two ear ventilation and exhaust, but in this closed environment.

Fire can't concentrate at all.

"Be careful, Dean. The molten iron smelted in this furnace will be ready soon. Please stay back a little and wait until I release the molten iron."

While talking, alcinnon and mokoado murmured for a while. Then they picked up a small hammer and an iron bar and knocked hard at a place touching the mud under the furnace.

As the hammer fell, the place also had a little red light.

Mokoado whispered, "Dean, be careful!"

"Turn on the stove!"

"Dang!"

With a hammer from arkinnon.

Drop by drop, the red bottom of the water rolled and flowed outward along the cracks knocked out by the iron stick. As soon as the red molten iron touched the ground, it burst into bursts of hiss.

And mokoado hurriedly picked up a hoe and dug a gully on the ground to guide the outflow of molten iron.

Although the furnace looks big.

But this molten iron is very few.

It won't take a moment.

The molten iron flowed out of Shandong, and the dripping of molten iron stopped in the furnace. Until this time, alchinnon commanded the people, brought buckets of water and poured it on the land around the molten iron.

In an instant, black smoke mixed with the smell of iron pin filled the whole smelter.

And Zhang Feng finally couldn't stand it.

He hurriedly ran away from the forging workshop with his mouth and nose covered.

Ma Zhou was stunned.

This is the first time he has come to the forging workshop. He also knows that all the expensive iron and copper articles he usually knows are made in this way?

In a moment, the smoke and dust dissipated under the action of the wind in the valley, and alchinnon shouted Zhang Feng in the forging workshop.

As soon as he entered the forging workshop, alcinnon handed Zhang Feng a piece of newly smelted iron with a dejected head: "Dean, the temperature is still not enough, the kind of steel you said..."

Zhang Feng also frowned slightly. He took out the exquisite machete from his waist and cut it gently on the palm sized iron block with the back of the knife. In an instant, there was a trace on the red iron block in the iron ash.

"No, it's still iron!"

Which step is wrong?

Zhang Feng can't help but get rid of the videos of those cattle guards in his mind and search for the physics knowledge learned in high school and college in his deep memory, as well as the method of forging steel.

Can't help it, Zhang Feng slowly straightened out the reason.

Looking at the charcoal in the corner, Zhang Feng asked, "did you always use this kind of thing before?"

Alchinnon nodded and said, "is there anything else that can replace this?"

Zhang Feng seemed to have found a problem when he heard the speech, and then turned around and asked, "Ma Zhou, do you know that this charcoal is used for forging in the Tang Dynasty?"

Ma Zhou didn't know what Zhang Feng wanted to express, but he still nodded: "yes, it's charcoal."

"Go and call Li Qian for me. I have something to find him."

Zhang Feng frowned.

After Ma Zhou hurried away, Zhang Feng squatted next to a strange smelting furnace on the edge of the cliff and watched the forging of a craftsman in the western regions.

When the charcoal burning path in the stove is to a certain extent, he will clip a few new pieces of charcoal again, and then take out some ashes under the stove.

To and fro, never stop.

Zhang Feng pointed to the man and asked, "are you all like this?"

"Yes!"

Alchinnon and mokoado nodded.

Later, Moco Addo said, "I visited Datang before, but it didn't seem to be called Tang at that time... Although the forging method of Datang is different from me, it still uses the same method, no difference."

Hearing the speech, Zhang Feng finally found the key to the problem and said faintly, "are you sure that the smelting of Datang is the same way?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Feng was speechless

No wonder they can't forge steel. If they can make steel in this way, they'll see the ghost.

In this era, there should have been coal for a long time!

Why not use that thing?

Keep the temperature of the flame at an equilibrium point?

Smelting such a simple thing, why is it so difficult in this era?
