Volume 44 Chapter 29

In the rune refining skill improvement area of ​​the Tower of Time, Zhang Tie was completely immersed in his own world.

In that barrenness, Zhang Tie started from the skills of the craftsmen and apprentices, sorted out and tested the skills he had mastered in a hands-on way, and then integrated what he had just absorbed into the hands-on operation.

Zhang Tie has never done such a thing, and such a thing is both familiar and unfamiliar to Zhang Tie. If it is outside, Zhang Tie has no time to toss about these seemingly childish and time-wasting things, but in the Tower of Time , the most abundant thing is time, and Zhang Tie's main goal in the Tower of Time is to become a master craftsman. This is a key step to realize the idea in Zhang Tie's heart, so he has a lot of time to do these things.

Zhang Tie completely regarded what he was doing as entertainment, and the entire rune refining skill improvement area was an entertainment area that belonged only to Zhang Tie.

After finishing the simplest small brick kiln, Zhang Tie still didn't stop.

Zhang Tie sharpened the edge of the stone in his hand on a stone by the stream, and then went to find two pieces of decayed wood and some small sticks.

Roll those small wooden sticks on a flat stone, and from the running track of those small wooden rolls, you can easily choose the most suitable fire-making material, and then use that stone to cut a section of the wooden stick With a little sharpness, the first tool for drilling wood for fire is ready.

Although this link is simple, how can we use the simplest method to select the most suitable fire-making stick for rubbing and rotating in the hand? The heat coefficient of friction is an experience that cannot be learned from books.

After finishing this, he smashed a piece of dry and rotten wood with a stone, and ground it into a pile of wood debris, and then ran to the stream to search for it, and picked up two brown stones by the stream. , Take the two brown stones and rub them in your hands, and if you see sparks emerging from the stones, you can determine the sulfur content of the two stones. Smash one of the two stones a little more, leaving a small handful of stone particles like fine sand, twist a little particle with two fingers and put it into a hollow in a piece of rotten wood, and sprinkle some wood on it. scum. Zhang Tie started drilling wood to make fire.

Those stones and gravel with high sulfur content can increase the friction between the stick and the plank when drilling wood to make fire, so that the speed of making fire can be multiplied with half the effort, and the ground wood chips and slag can be smashed. Can burn up in the shortest time.

Zhang Tie can easily do these things if he uses his fighting spirit or his knight ability, but at this time, doing these things by himself with the ability of an ordinary craftsman apprentice will have different gains and fun.

In just a few minutes, Zhang Tie's wooden planks began to smoke, and the fine wood residues began to glow red and burn. Zhang Tie added more fine wood residues and small firewood,

It takes a while. The fire started, and the fire was successfully made.

After transferring the burning fire to the small brick kiln, and adding some firewood to it, Zhang Tie ran to the stream, dug a large earth pit, and started mixing mud again.

It is the key to grasp the amount of water when mixing mud. If the water is too much, the mud that comes out of mixing is too thin and difficult to mold. If there is too little water, the mud that comes out is not viscous enough, and it is easy to burst when firing, and at the same time it is in the process of mixing mud. It is critical to ensure that all the soil is evenly blended together without particles and air bubbles. The most important step is also the last step, and the size of the bricks must be determined according to the nature of the soil. There is a corresponding relationship between the size of the bricks and the properties of the soil, which will determine the refractory and durability of the refractory bricks to be fired. If the size of the bricks does not match the properties of the soil, it will be fired Every brick will have problems. Although these are rough jobs, there is also knowledge and learning in the rough jobs.

After reconciling the mud, he ran over there to find a few pieces of wood and two pieces of stone. Zhang Tie made the simplest manual brick-making tool, and poked the tool into the pile of reconciled mud. Then pick it up and put it flat. Once opened, a relatively regular rectangular mud brick is ready.

Making bricks while mixing mud, Zhang Tie made tens of thousands of mud bricks in one go.

At the back, the mud bricks in front had almost dried in the shade, so Zhang Tie put those bricks that were almost dried in the shade into the fully formed brick kiln for firing.

Anyway, in the Tower of Time, he would not feel hungry or thirsty. Zhang Tie was so absorbed that he forgot the passage of time...

After the bricks were fired, the first batch of refractory bricks were used to build the first coke oven.

After the coke oven was built, Zhang Tie went to dig coal again, and used the dug coal to burn coke.

For a while later, Zhang Tie was busy.

Burn bricks, burn coke, make the simplest blower device, dig some iron ore with simple tools, build a smelting furnace with burnt refractory bricks and clay, put coke and iron ore, and ignite... …

When Zhang Tie saw the red molten iron flowing out of the smelting furnace, Zhang Tie almost shed tears. It's not easy to start from scratch.

Seeing the molten iron flowing out, Zhang Tie hastily guided the molten iron into simple foundry molds made by himself with fired clay and stream sand.

Zhang Tie made a total of more than 30 molding molds. After pouring molten iron into these molds, Zhang Tie could get the first batch of iron tools after cooling and simple treatment. With these iron tools, Zhang Tie's production efficiency can be increased many times, and he can do more things. After a while, even Zhang Tie alone can smelt iron into steel in this wilderness. , fried steel method, steel filling method, raw and cooked double iron steelmaking method, crucible steelmaking method, converter steelmaking, open hearth steelmaking, one-step steelmaking, rune steelmaking... There are a lot of steelmaking methods mastered by Zhang Tie. .

With steel, you have more tools, you can make more things, things like steam engines, you can make them at your fingertips...

This process is the basic skill of the most junior craftsman apprentice of a rune refiner.

Zhang Tie tried again from scratch, and sure enough, he got different results.

After those molds had cooled down, Zhang Tie processed more than 30 iron tools with sand and gravel by the stream. Looking at the more than 30 iron tools placed in front of him, Zhang Tie was finally satisfied. Take a breath.

Zhang Tie took out a compound iron chisel for processing wood, and flicked it with his fingers. The pleasant sound of metal from the iron chisel made Zhang Tie nod. The quality is also different. Although the iron-making equipment he used this time was the simplest, Zhang Tie also adopted part of the skill of the steel frying method during the smelting process. The carbon content in the pig iron has been further reduced to a better level, so although these tools are made of iron, their quality is definitely much better than ordinary iron tools, and they look a bit like steel .

Wait to get out from here. In the future, even if he publicly reveals his identity as a rune refiner, no one will doubt him anymore.

Zhang Tie thought to himself, and put down the tools in his hands in satisfaction. In the past, he might have caused suspicion and criticism when he revealed his identity as a rune refiner, and he was afraid of being regarded as a monster. From now on, he will not have this worry Well, the skills of my own rune refiner also come from the Tower of Time, as for the fruit of the plunder, I don't know, what's the matter. Whoever dares to refuse to accept that he can meet a tower of time again can only say that his character is too good, and good things are rewarded with good things. Whoever wants to be envious can just envy it...

"Hahahaha..." Zhang Tie laughed loudly by himself, and after laughing, Zhang Tie touched his face and said to himself, "I don't know how that woman is doing now, whether her injuries are recovering or not. Go and see for yourself, and you should be concerned about it. Speaking of which, it seems that it has been fifteen days since I entered this rune refining skill improvement area..."

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie stayed in the rune refining skill improvement area for fifteen days. During the fifteen days, Zhang Tie started from nothing, started from scratch, and forcibly manufactured the first batch of iron tools in this wilderness. . It was not until this time that Zhang Tie felt a little tired.

Even if it is a knight, even in the Tower of Time, it is against the law of biological existence to not close your eyes and sleep for fifteen consecutive days. No matter how strong Zhang Tie is, he will naturally feel a little tired.

After washing his face by the stream and the dust accumulated all over his body these days, Zhang Tie left the rune refining skill improvement area and walked out of the huge "crystal yurt".

As soon as he walked out of the "Crystal Yurt", Zhang Tie looked at the high platform.

Yan Feiqing was not practicing there. If she was there, there would be an obvious elemental reaction on the training platform. Seeing that Yan Feiqing was not practicing, Zhang Tie walked towards the crystal bed where she was.

Before going to the bed, Zhang Tie just walked around the training platform and saw Yan Feiqing at a glance...

As soon as Zhang Tie saw Yan Feiqing's situation, Zhang Tie was startled, his whole body moved, and his speed increased by more than a hundred times. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie rushed to the bedside.

Yan Feiqing was not sitting on the bed, but lying on the bed with disheveled hair and eyes closed. There was still a pool of blood on the bed. The blood flowed from the wrist of Yan Feiqing's left hand, while on Yan Feiqing's right hand, there was Looking at the bun on her head, judging from the wound on her wrist, it seems that she pierced her arm severely with the bun, causing the bleeding. Suicide here...

Zhang Tie checked quickly. There was still blood on Yan Feiqing's bun, and the wound on her wrist was still bleeding continuously. This seemed to indicate that Yan Feiqing had just self-harmed herself, maybe less than an hour...

Zhang Tie tore off one of his sleeves almost without hesitation, tore the sleeve into strips, and helped Yan Feiqing bandage the wound on his hand.

During bandaging, after wiping away the blood, Zhang Tie saw that there were more than one wound on Yan Feiqing's wrist, new and old. She does it all day.

I don't know if this woman is crazy.

Yan Feiqing was originally cold, but the strange thing was that when Zhang Tie picked up her hand and touched her, it was like pressing a switch. Yan Feiqing's cold body suddenly seemed to be boiled. Like a kettle, starting to get hot...

While Zhang Tie was helping Yan Feiqing bandage the wound, the unconscious Yan Feiqing opened her eyes after a low moan, and saw Zhang Tie who was tearing off her sleeve and bandaging her wrist.

"Get away...get away..." Yan Feiqing's voice was trembling and weak, seeing Zhang Tie, for some reason, Yan Feiqing's eyes flashed a look of struggle.

"Ah, my aunt, don't be so hard on yourself, even if I know that the hanged guy outside has some emotional entanglements with you, but you don't have to come out at this time, you don't want to die at this time. , we two are lonely and widowed now, if you really have something to worry about, others will think that I have done something to you here, and I am the one who hates women dying in front of me..." Zhang Tie lowered his head, and while bandaging the wound on Yan Feiqing's hand, he said, to be honest, Zhang Tie has recovered, so it's not easy for him to do this job, especially the old and new wounds on Yan Feiqing's wrist Not together, it's still a little troublesome to deal with, "I think your injury doesn't seem to heal now, if you want me to help, just ask, we are good people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, I still have a few medicines with me... "

"You...you let go of my hand...don't touch me..." In just a few seconds, Yan Feiqing's face was flushed like fire, and there was panting in her voice, she wanted to pull her hand back, But even if she is a phantom knight, if you want to compare her strength, she really can't compare with Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie took her hand and didn't move at all, just concentrating on bandaging it.

"Don't move, it will be fine. I don't do this kind of work often. It's strange. Why are you so hot now? It was cold just now..."

Zhang Tie only felt that Yan Feiqing's current state and voice were a bit strange, but he didn't think too much about it.

Yan Feiqing's hand couldn't move, but the other hand directly hit Zhang Tie's shoulder. Zhang Tie didn't expect that Yan Feiqing, a woman, would make a move without knowing what to do at this time. The distance between the two sides was so close. Unprepared, Yan Feiqing slapped him on the shoulder and fell down...

Yan Feiqing's palm no longer had the power of the Phantom Knight, plus Zhang Tie's thick skin hit Zhang Tie's shoulder. Zhang Tie only felt a little pain, but was not really injured.

Zhang Tie's other hand held Yan Feiqing's wrist. When Zhang Tie fell, he immediately tore Yan Feiqing off the crystal bed. Yan Feiqing, who was on the bed, rolled directly into Zhang Tie's arms...

Before he could feel the pain, Zhang Tie suddenly felt soft jade warm and fragrant hugging his arms, Yan Feiqing's hot face was almost pressed against him face to face, and one of his hands, by coincidence, was in the When he fell down, he was tightly holding onto a plump and soft place, while the other hand wrapped around Yan Feiqing's waist...

Zhang Tie originally wanted to get angry, but as soon as he felt the plump and soft lump in his hands, he kneaded it out of habit. A habitual action like a conditioned reflex,

As soon as Zhang Tie moved, there was a gasp next to his ear. This gasp scared Zhang Tie into a shudder, and he let go of his hand immediately, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not..."

Zhang Tie wanted to turn his head and explain to Yan Feiqing, but just as Yan Feiqing turned his head suddenly, the lips of the two met in the air and kissed together...

All of a sudden, nose to nose, eye to eye, mouth to mouth...

This kiss, to Zhang Tie, just made Zhang Tie's eyes widen, like a thunderbolt from the sky, and his head went blank...

It's over, it's over, I accidentally touched her just now, and now I accidentally kissed her, this woman won't kill me, right?

Thinking of Yan Feiqing's honesty towards men and the woman's evaluation of herself when she saw him for the first time, Zhang Tie's heart was beating so hard at this moment, he could only pray that Yan Feiqing would not Get mad, otherwise the two sides will stay in this tower of time for sixty years, and the days to come will be sad.

What Zhang Tie didn't know was that this kiss was like a thunderbolt to him, but to Yan Feiqing, it was the last match that ignited a powder keg that was about to explode.

Just when Zhang Tie was at a loss, thinking that Yan Feiqing was going to go crazy and chase him, Yan Feiqing moved. In just a moment, the woman hugged Zhang Tie tightly, and then kissed Zhang Tie's chest heavily. on the lips...
