Chapter 336 Jiang's Going to Make Copper

Mobile access: m.xinwanben.com

Mufeng decided to start smelting metal.

What he had on hand was copper ore, lead ore, tin ore, iron ore, and pure copper ore.

He wanted to do it in one step and make iron directly, but the conditions did not allow it.

Because the melting temperature of iron is too high, at least 1500 degrees or more.

Even if the melting temperature of iron ore is lower, it will cost more than 1,000 yuan. He is worried that the conditions at hand can't stand such torment. If the kiln is fried, the consequences will be disastrous.

In addition to the poor conditions, he also has no actual smelting experience, and he does not dare to take this risk.

Unlike iron, copper is much more stable when smelted.

The melting temperature of pure copper is only a little over a thousand, and if it is copper ore, the temperature is only a few hundred degrees.

As for tin ore and lead ore, they can be melted at a few hundred degrees.

And if the pottery he made wanted to melt, it had to be at a temperature of over 1,2002, just enough to cover what was needed for copper smelting.

"It turns out that in history, copper came first and then iron was for this reason!" Mu Feng suddenly realized.

Now that you have decided to smelt copper, you have to be prepared.

The first thing he thought of was to upgrade the clan's weapons.

Now bows and arrows and bamboo spears can be regarded as the most advanced weapons of this era in this world, but their shortcomings are also obvious - not sharp enough, not hard enough.

Once encountering rough-skinned beasts or enemies with strong protection, these weapons are actually of little use.

Just like the roll of red python skin that Konoa gave to Mu Feng, Mu Feng personally tried it with a bamboo spear and bow and arrow, but he couldn't break it at all!

He intends that all metal mines will give priority to making weapons, and then some necessities of life.

The more practical weapons he can think of now are knives, bow arrows, spear heads, daggers, axes and so on.

And if he wants to have these weapons, he has to make molds first!

After the mold is made, he can directly pour the melted copper water into the mold, and then he only needs to take out the metal weapon in the mold and polish it.

The production of abrasive tools is not difficult for Mufeng. In his previous life, when he was doing archaeology, he often needed to make molds to study imitations. Over time, he would make some himself.

Soil mold, sand mold, are all possible.

The difference is that the mud mold can be used for a limited number of times, and the sand mold can be used repeatedly.

He can't find the right sand to make the mold now, so he can only make do with mud.

Fortunately, there are no specific specifications for the weapon he is going to make, and the accuracy requirements for the abrasive tool are not high, which is easy to handle.

He asked Lihu to start preparing the charcoal, while he himself started to make molds.

The soil for making the model is the fine riverbed soil that he asked Han Shu to bring people to the East River. After washing it out, he started making the model.

However, considering that the molding directly affects the future products, he gritted his teeth and borrowed 200 achievement points from the system to exchange the methods and proficiency of molding and copper smelting, and the "debt" also reached 500 achievement points.

"Anyway, I owe 300, and it's not less than 200! Bald is not afraid of many leprosy, and he owes a lot!"

Mold making is relatively a test of patience and finesse, which is a chore.

It took him five days to complete the first batch of molds, including twenty arrows, knives, gun heads, axes, etc. on a piece of clay.

While he was doing these things, several elite members of the tribe were around.

Seeing Mu Feng so troublesomely sculpting a mass of mud, everyone was surprised.

Li Hu couldn't help but ask, "Head Chief, what are you digging such a small hole for in this mud?"

Mu Feng temporarily stopped the work in his hand, pointed to the "small hole dug out" and asked, "Can you see what this looks like?"

Lihu shook his head.

Mu Feng looked at the others left and right: "Did you see it?"

Everyone else shook their heads.

Mu Feng sighed, this was his helplessness, often when he made something new, no one could tell what he was doing.

He explained: "I'm making a mold for arrows!"

"Arrows, molds?" Everyone didn't understand.

Mu Feng had to be patient and explain: "The things that are installed in front of the bamboo arrows are much sharper and harder when sharpened! A lot of things that bamboo arrows can't shoot through now, it can shoot through!"

"But how does the mud become sharp?" Lihu asked.

"Mud can't be sharpened, it's just a mold! It's copper arrows that can be sharpened!"

"Bronze?" Lihu's eyes lit up after thinking about it, "Are you saying that arrowheads are also made of gold?"

Mu Feng nodded: "Yes! Immediately we will use copper to make arrows! In addition to arrows, we will also make copper knives, copper spears, and copper axes!"

Now everyone understands that Jiang's family is going to start mass-producing gold wares!

You know, even large tribes cannot use gold utensils on a large scale!

Li Hu asked in an uncertain tone: "Big, Great Chief, you mean that our tribe will have a lot of gold artifacts, right?"

Mu Feng smiled and nodded: "That's right! All warriors will have gold utensils, and there will be gold utensils in the clan, and even the meat-separating knife used by the central capital will also be gold utensils!"

"This..." Everyone was excited. You look at me, I look at you, surprised.

Especially Mingguang, he was even more convinced of Mu Feng's words.

He clearly remembered that Mu Feng had told him before that the Jiang clan would have their own linen, and everyone could afford to wear linen.

Although not everyone in the Jiang family has linen clothes, almost every family has a linen. In addition, the tribe also grows ramie and kenaf.

The Great Chief also told him that when the new ramie and kenaf mature, almost everyone in the tribe will be able to wear linen clothes.

Even if it's not enough, it's almost enough to plant another season.

This was something he didn't even dare to think about before, but now it's about to become a reality.

Now the Great Chief has said that the entire tribe will have gold utensils, and he has no doubts that the Jiang clan will really have gold utensils!

Seeing the surprises of the clan members, Mu Feng said with a smile: "Don't be too happy, now we are just making molds, and then we have to screen copper ores, find a way to crush them, and make a large pottery kiln that can smelt copper! "

"Isn't there a pottery kiln in our tribe now?" Lihu asked.

"That's too small!" Mu Feng shook his head, "and that's a pottery kiln, and copper smelters need a pot-like container! This container is used to melt copper ore and extract copper water!"

"Bronze water? Can gold objects become water?" Li Hu asked.

Mu Feng found that the more he explained to them, the more problems he had, so he simply stopped explaining, and had to tell them: "Now you leave some people here to learn to make molds, while others go to Dongshan to make pottery kilns. It's like what Changning used in the bath. That big pottery pot is the same size as that one!"

"Yes!" Li Hu got up and made arrangements.

The rest of the people watched Mu Feng make the arrow mold, and asked, "Great Chief, what other mold do you want to make?"

"Knife, dagger!" Mu Feng laughed.

Shuo Feng was stunned by the side, pulled out his golden saber, and asked, "Is that so?"

"Yeah!" Mu Feng nodded, "Similar to yours, but not necessarily as sharp as yours, but much sharper than a bone knife!"

"Great!" Everyone cheered...
