Chapter 100 Hengyu Furnace
Because Old Man Wei was injured, although he thought he was healed, at Jiang Lin's insistence, others were still responsible for purchasing the meals.
After eating, Jiang Lin made a habit of going back to the ruins of the dining shed, but was held back by a few blacksmiths.
Instead, they vacated two rooms, one for Yuan Bingqi and one for Jiang Lin.
"Live in peace, we can just squeeze in. Besides, with Mr. Zhao here, the camp and repair department will probably come to build a new house soon."
"Yes, when I was an apprentice, I was already used to being exposed to wind and sun. Now having a house and a floor is nothing."
"Master Jiang, please don't refuse. Nan Blacksmith Camp will still count on you in the future!"
Some apprentices had already carried Jiang Lin's bedding into the room, and a group of people pushed him directly into the room and even closed the door.
There was no furniture in the room, just a simple wooden bed, a cabinet, and a chair.
Listening to the footsteps of people leaving outside, Jiang Lin laughed and shook his head, forget it, just take care of it.
There is no need to reject someone's kindness.
Appropriate choice to accept often makes others feel happier.
Sitting on the bed, the wooden board creaked, but for Jiang Lin, this was a rare experience.
This is the first time I have been able to sleep on a bed since I came to this world.
Even though the bedding is thin and the boards are hard, it is much better than the ground.
It's just that he can't see the starry sky outside, which is a bit unfamiliar. Jiang Lin can't help but wonder, is it possible to build a glass canopy?
Doesn't this thing seem difficult?
What is the melting point of sand?
But it seems that I have never seen sand, and I don’t know if there is such a thing in this world.
As he imagined lying on the bed and watching the stars, sleepiness gradually came over him.
This night, Jiang Lin slept particularly comfortably.
The next day, he got up early again, only to find that Old Man Wei had returned from purchasing ingredients, and Miao Chuanfu was leading people to help unload the donkey cart.
"Didn't I let you rest for two days? Why did you go again?" Jiang Lin also went over to help.
Old Man Wei sat nearby and watched them working and said: "You have to do something, you can't just be idle."
Hearing this, Jiang Lin said no more.
Old Man Wei has a principled temperament. If he wants to do it, let him do it.
After eating, the group of people came to the blacksmith shop and began to busy melting molten iron again.
This job is not difficult at all. As long as the fire temperature is high enough, there is nothing that cannot be melted.
However, Jiang Lin still insisted on lighting the fire himself, and everyone didn't pay much attention. They just thought that he wanted to build the stove with his own hands.
Little did he know that while Jiang Lin was stepping on the bellows, reminders appeared in his field of vision.
[Material quality improved by one percent]
[Material quality improved by 4%]
【Material quality improved by 10%】
……
After melting the xuanjing iron and a large amount of pig iron into molten iron, Blacksmith Qi and others carried the iron pot together. Just looking at the molten iron, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's different after adding xuanjing iron. The molten iron is sparkling. , not glaring at all.”
Ordinary molten iron is extremely bright, and staring at it for a long time can even damage your eyesight.
Yuan Bingqi on the side also came over to take a look and said: "It's not because of the addition of black crystal iron. I'm afraid it's because of Master Jiang's contribution to the fire."
He had seen molten iron melted into black crystal iron before, but it didn't have the crystal black light now. It was obvious that the quality had improved a lot. "No wonder Master Jiang insisted on lighting the fire himself." Blacksmith Qi said.
After pouring pots of molten iron into the ceramic mold, all that's left is to wait for it to cool.
After a long time, the temperature dropped. Blacksmith Qi handed Jiang Lin a hammer and said with a smile: "Since it is your stove, you can break it open."
Jiang Lin didn't say much. He stepped forward and smashed the mold.
Bang bang bang——
After a sound, the outer layer of clay shattered, revealing the inner iron.
It has not been polished and renovated, and there is some dirt on the surface.
However, the black light flickered faintly among the broken clay, revealing a simple and calm atmosphere.
As the mud and dust gradually fell off, the full picture of the iron tools became more and more clear.
The furnace body, which is almost ten feet tall, is covered with intricate patterns. Under the dark light, it seems to contain some unknown power.
"Not bad, really good!" Blacksmith Qi and others praised it one after another. Just by its appearance, it was much better than an ordinary stove.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Yuan Bingqi walked around the furnace and discovered something at the foot of the furnace. He said loudly: "Five entropy patterns!"
At this time, there was work in the blacksmith shop, and everyone who had no work was alarmed.
They all ran over to see what was strange, five entropy patterns?
That means that this stove has entered the middle fourth grade, and is only one step away from reaching the upper third grade!
Looking at the entire Casting Department, there are some high-grade third-grade stoves, but in the hands of the craftsman Yu Maoming, they are the treasure of the Foundry Department.
It is incredible that the small southern blacksmith camp can have a middle-grade fourth-grade stove.
"As expected of Xuanjing Iron, coupled with Master Jiang's firepower, it can be directly melted into a fourth-grade furnace!"
Blacksmith Qi and others were wandering around the stove, marveling at it, their eyes burning, as if they all wanted to try the effect of the stove.
Even Jiang Lin himself was a little surprised, he didn't expect to have such a high level.
But it’s normal to think about it. Burning a fire itself can improve the quality of the material by 30%, and there is not only ordinary iron in it, but also better black crystal iron!
Thirty percent of ordinary iron may not be that high, but can Xuanjing iron be increased by 30%?
Thinking about it this way, being in the fourth grade seems to be nothing.
In the field of vision, a large number of black spots appeared on the furnace body.
[A stove of average quality with a total of 109 defects]
Jiang Lin was slightly surprised. There are still so many flaws in the fourth grade?
Perhaps it was because the furnace was too big. If it were the size of an ordinary weapon, there might only be dozens.
Jiang Lin felt a little moved in his heart. He really wanted to eliminate all the defects immediately. Maybe he could really create a third-grade stove!
But there are too many people around, and it is not convenient now, so I can only hold back my impulse for the time being.
Later, everyone also brought whetstones, iron files, etc. to clean the details on the surface of the furnace body.
Including the pottery molds inside the furnace, they were all smashed and taken out.
Finally, it was rinsed with water, and an iron stove with a strong flavor of ancient times was born.
"Master Jiang, please give this stove a name!" a blacksmith shouted.
The furnaces in the blacksmith camp were all ordinary, so no one took the trouble to name them, but this one was different.
The quality is high, and it is unique to Jiang Lin, because it contains very valuable black crystal iron. This thing does not belong to the Foundry Department.
To put it bluntly, even if Jiang Lin really leaves the blacksmith camp in the future, no one can say anything if he takes the stove with him.
Jiang Lin pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a certain novel he had read in his previous life.
His heart moved, and he smiled and said: "Then let's call it Hengyu Furnace."
