Chapter 157: The First-Level Refiner
When Liu Changxu stayed to take charge of the mining of Jinyang iron veins, the work of mining Jinyang iron was already very difficult.
So, after entering the mine in person to learn about the actual situation, Liu Changxu discovered that when the tribesmen mined Jinyang iron ore, they mainly relied on their own magic power, magic weapons, and first-level low-grade magic tools or mine picks.
When it was first mined, it could still be used reluctantly. However, when it was mined thirty feet underground, it encountered great difficulties.
When they reached around thirty feet underground, the quality of Jinyang iron ore became higher and higher, and the ore became harder and harder. You must know that Jinyang iron is the main material for refining first-class magic weapons. Its mining The difficulty can be imagined.
When mining Jinyang iron ore with a first-level low-grade magic weapon, sparks will fly out when the pickaxe is struck. It will not take long for the mining pickaxe to be scrapped.
If you use ordinary magic weapons to mine, the effect is not nearly as good, and it is easy to damage the precious magic weapons. For the tribesmen who already lack magic weapons, it is not worth the loss.
As for using spells, such as the wind blade technique to mine Jinyang iron ore, it is even more difficult. The spells of the Qi Refining monks are not powerful enough, and the mana consumption during mining is also very large.
Therefore, the tribesmen mostly mine Jinyang iron ore in shallow layers, and have no choice but to give up on the high-quality Jinyang iron ore deep underground.
After understanding some basic conditions on the spot, Liu Changxu immediately organized a meeting of the tribesmen participating in mining to study mining matters.
At the meeting, the Great Elder Liu Qiusheng first gave a brief introduction to Liu Changxu on the mining situation and said: "Changxu, after our preliminary survey and calculation, this Jinyang iron ore vein should be a micro-ore vein. It is only due to the influence of its own ability. Limiting the inability to explore deeper
Now we have almost mined the Jinyang iron ore in the shallow layer, and have mined 22,000 kilograms of Jinyang iron ore, but we need to mine it further. It is very difficult for us."
Liu Changxu quickly asked: "What is the main problem!"
Liu Qiusheng continued: "The main reason is that the rocks deep in the veins are very hard. , Most of our magic weapon pickaxes were damaged when mining Jinyang iron ore."
As the elder Liu Qiusheng took out his first-level mid-level magic weapon pickaxe from the storage bag, everyone said. It was discovered that the mining pick had been damaged and would not last long.
Liu Changxu's uncle Liu Shi'an also took out his first-level low-grade mining pickaxe from the storage bag. It was damaged and could not be used.
"Xu'er, look, my mining pick is broken, what do you think I should do!"
Liu Changxu said with a smile: "Is this the case for everyone?"
The tribesmen present showed Liu Changxu their damaged magic tools and pickaxes. The eldest brother Liu Changyong’s first-order mid-grade magic weapon, the long sword, was even broken, which made him very depressed! Seeing this, Liu Changxu knew very well that mining work could not be promoted without solving the problem of mining tools. The main reason for this problem was that the Liu family had never encountered such a difficult mine in the past, and the family was not prepared to mine high-end mineral veins. tools.
After hearing the reaction of the tribesmen, Liu Changxu had already thought of a solution to the problem.
As a weapon refiner, although Liu Changxu is not yet able to refine spiritual weapons, he still has the ability to repair or refine first-level magical weapons, and the mining pickaxe is still a relatively simple magical weapon to refine.
"Let's do this! Everyone, please give me the damaged magic weapon or mining pickaxe to repair first. After repairing your magic weapon, I will refine some mining magic tools for you."
After hearing what Liu Changxu said, everyone was very happy and handed over the damaged magic weapon ore pickaxe to Liu Changxu.
Liu Changxu immediately used the Ruyi Purple Gold Furnace and started to light the fire and repair the magical artifacts for everyone.
In fact, the magic weapon ore pickaxe is a very difficult to damage magic weapon, and most of the damage is caused by the magic weapon pattern. All you need to do is reheat the damaged magic weapon and use the power of your spiritual consciousness to carve the seal pattern again.
Therefore, Liu Changxu repaired the damaged magic weapon ore pickaxe very quickly. It took only two days to repair everyone’s damaged magic weapon ore pickaxe. Even the eldest brother Liu Changyong’s magic weapon long knife was damaged by Liu Changxu. It was repaired, which made eldest brother Liu Changyong very happy.
Next, Liu Changxu is going to use Jinyang iron to refining ore picks. Since Jinyang iron ore contains many impurities, Jinyang iron ore must be refined first, and the Jinyang iron ore must be refined. The process consumes the most mana and time.
First, the magic formula was pressed, and a large ball of foundation-building true fire was thrown into the refining furnace. The refining furnace immediately ignited with raging flames, and then a large piece of Jinyang iron ore was sent in. Calcined in a refining furnace.
Since the flames in the refining furnace are all driven by Liu Changxu's magic power, as time goes by, even Liu Changxu, a foundation-building monk, will find it too much.
For this reason, Liu Changxu is particularly eager to obtain the spiritual fire. If there is a spiritual fire in the Ruyi Purple Gold Furnace, Liu Changxu's level of alchemy and weapon refining will be greatly improved.
Whether it is elixir refining or weapon refining, the source of flames includes spiritual wood fire, monk's true fire, earth fire, animal fire, heaven and earth spirit fire, etc. Among them, the power of heaven and earth spirit fire is the most powerful, with A heaven and earth spiritual fire is the dream of every alchemist and weapon refiner.
However, the spiritual fire of heaven and earth is very rare and precious, and it requires a lot of luck to obtain it.
With the passage of time, under the burning of the foundation-building true fire, this large piece of Jinyang iron ore quickly turned into molten iron. The Jinyang molten iron was put into the mold, and the molten iron solidified. , a rough ore pickaxe was completed. After some forging and seal carving, a first-level top-grade ore pickaxe was successfully refined. Liu Changxu also became a first-class weapon refiner
