Chapter 30

The arrival of Zhao Fengnian broke the peace of the small village.

An old man named Li Tiezhu, nearly 60 years old, with a rickety body and an unusually thick palm, is the head of the village and the head of the refining workshop.

After learning of Zhao Fengnian's arrival, he quickly called out the villagers and respectfully entertained him.

During this period, he introduced several other workers and their families who were also refining utensils.

Zhao Fengnian looked at these workers whose appearance was no different from that of ordinary farmers. He warmly asked about the current situation of life and whether there was any need or not.

Moved with tears, several older workers immediately knelt down and said that the territory was really a great favor to them!

This workshop was specially set up for these old craftsmen, so that they could not only eat a full meal, but also earn more than others. They felt ashamed that they did not bring any income to the territory.

Zhao Fengnian was stunned when he heard this. It seemed that they had misunderstood the role of the refining workshop. However, he did not explain it. He quickly helped up several older craftsmen.

After that, Li Tiezhu took several people to visit the iron making furnace, worktable, and some ceramic molds. Finally, he showed off the finished black iron utensils

Zhao Fengnian didn't express any opinions all the way. He just nodded slightly all the way until he came to the back of the workshop, a high slope, looking at the endless and uneven hills in the distance, and was in a daze.

Aunt LAN, Wang Meng and Tao an wait quietly behind, afraid to disturb Zhao Fengnian's thinking.

After learning about the two industries, Zhao Fengnian fell into thinking. He had to go back to think about what to do to attract adventurers to come and spend.

Because adventurers are generally Reiki realm martial arts, into the mountains harvest is also great, so the consumption power is very strong.

In front of him, the huge open-pit black iron ore vein is also an immeasurable wealth in his eyes!

This should be put on the earth, there is such a vein, minutes to become a billionaire!

But it doesn't work here. One of the wonders of the world is that there are refined iron ores that can be mined directly.

This kind of ore is similar to the steel of the earth. It is a good material for making armor weapons, and it belongs to the mainstream material for making utensils on the mainland.

Refined iron reserves are not as much as black iron ore veins, and the demand is large, so the price is up to 1 gold coin per kilogram.

There are better meteorite veins and even dark iron veins containing aura above the refined iron veins, which can be directly mined out to create more powerful equipment and weapons through different methods.

The black iron ore, after smelting, should be the pig iron on the earth. The pig iron has high carbon content. Although it is hard, it is brittle and easy to break. Moreover, it is not easy to refine into too thin utensils, and it is easy to break when forging.

With the strength of the world's warriors, this kind of weapon made of black iron is so fragile that it can't bear it. Even if it's just the side slap of the warrior in the spiritual realm, let alone chop it with the weapon made of refined iron

Therefore, this kind of black iron ore can only be used as tools for low-level people on the mainland, some farm tools with low demand for strength, or simple tools, as well as weapons materials used by ordinary warriors.

Due to the large production and low demand, the black iron ore can only be sold for 1 silver coin per kilogram, which still includes the cost of charcoal and labor for refining 50 copper coins.

Therefore, there is no large-scale mining of black iron ore, who uses who to collect ore, and then to blacksmith shop or workshop for processing.

Zhao Fengnian learned it in his previous life when he went to school. In some ways, pig iron can be decarburized to become steel with lower carbon content, which is the refined iron of this age!

In this world, because the development of scientific practice is not high, but also because there is a better material selection directly, no one pays attention to how to improve the performance of pig iron.

This makes Zhao Fengnian excited. If he makes pig iron into steel by his own means, does it mean that there is inexhaustible wealth beckoning to him?

However, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. The method he remembers is to heat the refined black iron ingot and beat it vigorously, fold it, and beat it again and again. In this way, too much manpower is needed and the output is too small, so he does not intend to use it.

What he wanted to use was an ancient method of frying pig iron and steel. Although this method was not as advanced as modern times, he did not know how to do it with his knowledge level.

Even if he only knows the principle of this method, the specific operation still needs step-by-step practice. It seems that it is not possible to make money from this ore vein in a short time.

Think of here Zhao Fengnian exhaled a breath of white air, looking at the sun is about to set

I didn't expect that he stayed here for a whole afternoon and looked at the three people in the back. Wang Meng and Tao an are OK. The martial arts practitioners are strong.

But aunt LAN is not so cold resistant, now she is shivering all over her body, her lips are cold and blue

He called himself careless in his heart and said, "you don't have to be with me all the time. Remember next time. Well, hurry back. It's getting dark. "When they heard Zhao Fengnian's words, they felt warm and didn't say much. They just said yes and pushed Zhao Fengnian back to the carriage and went back to the castle.
