Chapter 1099 Going to the Red Tiger Tribe Again (2 in 1)

To make briquettes, you need to smash large coals, then mix them with some yellow mud, mix them with water, and then use a ball beater to beat them into briquettes.

Although I was still young at that time, I basically didn't participate in the process of making briquettes, but I had close contact with them, and I made my face black and my clothes black when I touched the coal. Then the thing of being beaten up is still experienced.

Because of his close experience, Han Cheng has a good understanding of coal.

That's why, when he saw it just now, Han Cheng was basically sure that the thing Yang Yao was holding in his hand was coal!

Han Cheng took it from Yang Yao's hand and held it in his hand to watch.

Things start heavy.

It may be that the coal has experienced too much wind and rain on the surface, so the surface is not smooth.

Unlike the coal mined from the mine, it shone with some luster under the sunlight.

However, judging from the luster of the hand and the successful blackening of the hand, it can basically be recognized.

Han Cheng stood here watching for a while, then walked a few steps to the side, came to the edge of a rock, and smashed the big coal rock he was holding against the rock fiercely!

"Boom~"

With a muffled sound, the coal stone immediately became torn apart.

The broken pieces of coal were scattered all over the place.

One piece of coal fell directly to the sheep's waist.

Han Cheng's sudden action immediately blinded people.

People don't know why the god son of their own tribe suddenly changed his face and became so angry.

Yang Yao and the others who were smiling and excited just now, the smiles on their faces disappeared quickly, and they stood there looking at a loss.

After a brief moment of confusion, they thought of the reason.

The reason is that the black stone brought back by himself and others is not the coal that the Son of God said.

If not,

How could the Son of God smash it to pieces?

Han Cheng didn't care about these.

At this time, he was squatting on the ground, carefully watching the crushed coal.

The fractured coal stone showed a familiar appearance to Han Cheng.

In the darkness, there is some light.

This is the most important reason why Han Cheng suddenly threw the coal stone away.

Because he suddenly thought that the surface of the coal stone can be weathered, but the inside will not be weathered away!

At this time, I opened it and saw that it was so.

"This is a means of inspection! Now I can basically confirm that this black stone is coal!"

Han Cheng turned his head and saw the strange expressions on everyone's face. He smiled and said to everyone.

After hearing his words, the people in the tribe immediately became relieved and happy.

"Let's do the last test later, so as to thoroughly confirm whether this thing is the coal we want!"

Han Cheng said so.

Although it was basically confirmed that this thing was coal, Han Cheng still wanted to test it again just to be on the safe side, so as to thoroughly confirm whether this thing was coal.

The method of this kind of test is very simple and direct, that is - burn!

...

Many people gathered beside an iron stove in the Tieshan residential area, and firewood was lit in the stove.

Driven by the bellows, the firewood inside is particularly vigorous.

"Clatter..."

With such a sound, the flame in the stove suddenly became much smaller.

Han Cheng, holding a copper shovel, stood here, looking at the black crushed stones placed in the furnace, with anticipation on his face.

The copper shovel he held in his hand was stained with some black ash.

"Increase the firepower!"

Han Cheng said, with some excitement in his voice.

After his voice fell, the person squatting under the stove pulling the bellows immediately accelerated the frequency of pushing.

Puffs of air rushed into the stove.

Everyone couldn't help holding their breath, stood on tiptoes, stretched their necks and looked into the stove.

Everyone was full of curiosity about what the Son of God was doing.

Stones, in their impression, have never been able to burn.

Even if things like iron ore and copper ore can be melted by flames, they won't burn.

But now the Son of God told them that coal, a black stone, can be burned.

Not only can it burn, but it can also burn extremely powerfully!

Coal is more useful than charcoal fired from wood!

Although they knew that it was impossible for the Son of God to deceive them, they still wanted to take a look at such a strange thing that was obviously contrary to common sense.

See if this stone can really burn like the Son of God said.

As the person pushing and pulling the bellows continued to push and pull the bellows, puffs of thick smoke rose from the stove.

There was some familiar choking smell in the air.

Smelling the smell, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile all over his face.

That's right.

This exudes heavy pollution, but at the same time it also represents civilization and advanced taste, that's it!

What Yang Yao and others found was coal!

While Han Cheng was waiting with a smile on his face, and as the Qingque tribesmen surrounded him waited with anticipation, the thick smoke from the stove became less and less, and the coal dumped by Han Cheng was overwhelming. The ignited flame began to drill out from the cracks in the coal.

And it's getting bigger and bigger.

This flame is not the same as the flame burned by ordinary firewood.

Firewood burns with a milder flame.

The flames that emerged at this time did not seem to be as big and high as the flames burned by firewood.

However, just by looking at it, one can feel the temperature contained in it, which is far higher than that of ordinary flames.

Of course, this feeling can only be felt by people like Han Cheng who have seen the coal burning in the iron furnace and the cutting guns used to cut steel plates at high temperatures in later generations.

After a while, the temperature inside the furnace continued to rise.

On the black coal, many parts have turned red, which looks like burning coal!

At this time, the dry wood placed at the bottom of the stove and used as a fire starter has been completely burned.

There are only coals left in the stove!

Such a scenario can fully prove one thing.

This matter is that what is burning at this time is black stone, coal!

Seeing such a scene, everyone in the Qingque Tribe around them widened their eyes, feeling surprised and delighted at the same time!

This thing is really what Shenzi said, it can really burn!

Because of the successful burning of coal, which is a black stone in the eyes of everyone in the Qingque tribe, the entire Tieshan residential area of ​​the Qingque tribe became extremely lively.

Everyone was filled with joy and joy.

"...this coal was found near the Red Tiger Tribe..."

The person who came back with Yang Yao said this to Han Cheng.

After learning about this, Han Cheng was taken aback for a moment.

This news was too surprising for him.

As early as before, he had thought about how great it would be if there was a coal mine in the Red Tiger Tribe.

But this kind of thought is just thinking about it in my heart.

Han Cheng himself felt that this was impossible.

After all, there are already so many mineral resources near the Red Tiger Tribe!

It is already very rare to gather so many mineral resources together, he really dare not think too much!

However, he didn't expect that the reality gave him more than he imagined.

It was completely beyond his expectations!

This Red Tiger Tribe is really a geomantic treasure!

Han Cheng sighed in his heart, and the idea of ​​making the land where the Red Tiger Tribe lived became his own became more intense.

It's really a pity not to include such a treasure land of geomantic omen into one's own tribe!

"Clatter..."

There was such a sound again at an iron-smelting furnace in the Tieshan residential area of ​​the Qingque tribe.

Holding a copper shovel, the iron smelter shoveled up the smashed coal and added it to the furnace.

Then he began to pull the bellows vigorously.

After it gradually burned and it was confirmed that it would not go out, it began to add smashed iron ore to it.

This is the Qingque tribe, who began to try to use coal instead of charcoal to smelt iron ore.

Han Cheng thought about replacing charcoal with coal a long time ago, making it the main fuel for smelting metals.

Now the tribe finally got coal.

Under such circumstances, no matter what, Han Cheng wanted to try as quickly as possible.

Therefore, after thoroughly confirming that this thing is indeed coal, the use of coal instead of charcoal for smelting in the tribe also kicked off.

The bellows are pulled, the fire burns, and the temperature in the furnace continues to increase.

Later, the orange-red flame climbed all the way along the stove, and finally reached the upper part of the stove, radiating out from the stove, with extremely high temperature.

Han Cheng watched all this going on around, waiting for the result to appear...

"Shhhhhhh..."

There was a faint sound, and a stream of fiery red molten iron flowed out from the stove and landed in the soil trough below...

Han Cheng sat here, looking at the data recorded in the small book for comparison.

After a while like this, he finally raised his head.

However, his brows were slightly furrowed.

The reason for this is that by comparing some data between using coal to smelt iron and using charcoal to smelt iron ore, Han Cheng found that using coal to smelt iron did not improve the efficiency much.

Such a discovery made him very puzzled.

Ordinarily, according to the performance of coal, such a thing should not happen.

After all, this is a good fuel that has been proven in later generations.

Han Cheng sat here and kept thinking, puzzled.

Mao, Xiong Youer and other Qingque tribe members were puzzled when they saw Shenzi who was sitting there staring at the little book in a daze, looking unhappy at all.

Some people couldn't help reaching out and scratching their heads.

Coal, a rock, has been proven not only for burning, but also for smelting iron.

And compared with charcoal, the same amount of coal burns longer than charcoal.

More importantly, coal is easier to obtain.

According to people who came back from the Red Tiger tribe, there are many of these black stones there.

You only need to dig it out, transport it to your own tribe, and burn it directly.

Unlike charcoal, many processes need to be carried out before it can finally be turned into a finished product for iron smelting.

Shouldn't my tribe be extremely happy when they got such a good thing?

Why doesn't God seem very happy?

Could it be that Shenzi is not satisfied with coal?

After such thoughts surfaced in their minds, Mao and the others were a little lost for a while.

But thinking about some of Shenzi's daily behaviors, several people can basically be sure that this is most likely the truth of the matter.

But it is precisely because of this that several people are so absent-minded.

The Son of God is the Son of God, and the vision is not comparable to those of them!

Under the stunned and admiring gaze of several people, Han Cheng got up from the rock he was sitting on, and began to smile and beckon to several people, asking them to come over and explain things to them.

Of course, this is not because Han Cheng has already figured out the joints, but because he feels that the most important thing now is to arrange for people to go to the Red Tiger Tribe to find and transport coal here.

Although the coal at this time did not achieve the desired effect, it was still usable.

After a comparison with charcoal, under the current situation, it is still more cost-effective to dig coal from the Red Tiger Tribe and transport it to the Tieshan residential area than to cut wood and burn charcoal.

As for the problem that the efficiency of coal for iron smelting is not as high as in my impression, I can think about it while transporting coal to my tribe.

Such a choice is the most cost-effective for the current tribe.

"...Go get a team of people, bring weapons, and tools such as backpacks, copper lifts, copper hammers, etc., and we will go to the Red Tiger Tribe to dig coal together!"

Han Cheng explained to the trade and others.

Originally, it would be fine if Han Cheng didn't go this trip.

However, remembering that this is the first time that coal has been formally mined, people in the tribe are not familiar with these things.

He didn't know exactly where the coal was stored in the Red Tiger Tribe, and how much it was stored. After these things, Han Cheng finally made the decision to take everyone to the Red Tiger Tribe to do a personal investigation. .

Only by touching all these things to the same extent and knowing it well, can we proceed to the next many things.

Of course, in addition to these, Han Cheng has other plans.

This matter is related to coal, but also related to the future development of his own tribe and the Red Tiger tribe.

It is a very important move.

It is also more delicate.

Han Cheng was a little worried that the rest of the tribe could not do well, so he wanted to do it himself...
