The crazy wind forging machine can finally work stably. While continuously strengthening the strength of each component, the biggest secret to its success is to hammer the forging smaller points.

When Mr. Zhou originally designed it, he was thinking about those super-large forging machines with forging capabilities that were tens of thousands of tons at any time. In his opinion, it would be too exaggerated to get tens of thousands of tons by himself, but if he was too young, he would lose face.

At first, he thought of getting a large forging hammer of 500 kilograms to give it strength, but Uncle Zhou could not make such a large structural part, so he could only make a seventy kilogram. In this way, he felt very wronged and embarrassed the time traveler.

But Mr. Zhou didn't understand material mechanics and structural mechanics, so he took it for granted to draw a design drawing. It was this 70-kilogram forging hammer that made a mess of humans and dwarf blacksmiths.

Everyone thought the principle was good, but reliability was not good. All the tricks that could be thought of were used up, and in the end the blacksmiths were desperate. An apprentice said, "Why don't you make the forging hammer smaller?"

It's amazing!

The blacksmiths "do their horses to be alive" and reduced the weight of the forging hammer to thirty kilograms. Even ordinary people can pick it up and beat it twice. No one dared to tell Zhou Qingfeng about this change, for fear that this ambitious man would be angry.

With this small change, the wind forging machine finally stopped falling apart. It can work continuously under the chain of the windmill and repeatedly forge the red and hot strips of iron. Under the sputtered spark, there is iron material with stable quality improvement.

The forging ability is too small, but at least it can work stably. In the past, the high-quality steel that only master blacksmiths could produce for several days was now flowing out of the forging machine like a sausage.

Although there are still problems with carbon content, crystal structure, and heat treatment that need to be improved, this step taken by the Harmony Village Forging Site is undoubtedly a major step in smelting technology, saving a lot of manpower, and the technical requirements for blacksmiths have been greatly reduced.

For a high salary, the gray dwarf foreman worked hard to realize the forging machine designed by Zhou Qingfeng. When he first saw this machine, he thought that he must learn the essence of this thing and then take it to his tribe.

With such machinery, the gray dwarf who is good at forging will definitely be favored by the gods and have never become stronger and expanded. But now this foreman is extremely depressed and extremely frightened.

It takes decades of tempering to identify minerals, grasp the temperature, control strength, and accumulate rich experience to become a master blacksmith.

But after the wind forging machine is built, any apprentice can create excellent iron materials. It doesn’t take decades, it only takes a few days to turn over the forgings with iron pliers. Remember how many times it needs to be forged. How difficult is it?

"Will we dwarves be finished in the future?" The gray dwarves' foreman sat at the door of the forging site and asked Zhou Qingfeng: "With this kind of machinery, who would ask us to make irons? Can we still be blacksmiths?"

The advancement of technology is always eliminating backward crafts and trades, which is an inevitable fact. For this bearded gray dwarf, Zhou Qingfeng could experience the gloomy mood of his mood. So he sat down and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Bruno, and I come from the Rock Orange Tribe. Of course, you don't know what Rock Orange Tribe. My hometown is in a dark area, and my tribe is a slave to the dark elves. I escaped from the underground and walked a long way to come here."

"Bruno." Zhou Qingfeng patted the gray dwarf's broad shoulders, "I heard that your tribe is quite cunning."

Hahaha, the gray dwarf foreman laughed, "I have been enslaved by those black skins for tens of thousands of years. Can you expect us to be kind dwarfs? In fact, there are also spiritual sucking monsters that enslave us, which are even more evil creatures."

"The cunning gray dwarf will not worry about work. You don't need to swing a hammer in the future, which is a good thing. But there are other work to do in this forging site. For example, looking for high-quality iron ore, can machinery replace you?"

Bruno was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly laughed: "We gray dwarves live in the darkest underground. They are the most powerful in mining exploration and mining, and no one can compare to them."

"Isn't it worth studying how to build a better iron smelting furnace, how to distinguish which elements in the ore are beneficial and which elements are harmful? And quenching and tempering is also a technology. The forging machine cannot be done, only you can do it."

"Yes." Bruno slapped his thigh, "Why do I have to swing a hammer? It's hard and tiring, and I can't make a lot of money. A blacksmith master should not only have one strength, but have a brain."

The gray dwarf foreman suddenly stood up, and Zhou Qingfeng was also very happy that his psychological counseling had played a role. But when he thought the other party would return to the forging site to work hard, the solid little dwarf ran towards the tavern with his short legs.

"Hey, Bruno, where are you going?"

"I'm thinking about it, I'm going to go to the tavern and have a drink and celebrate."

"It's working hours now, don't leave early, and don't drink alcohol. You are the foreman and should set an example."

"My throat is itchy now, and I will die if I don't drink."

The little dwarf ran away without a trace, and Zhou Qingfeng could only stare behind and curse: "Bastard, come back. Otherwise, I will deduct your wages."

Bruno pretended not to hear it, and it seemed that he would not stop if he was drunk. Zhou Qingfeng could only go to the forging site to inspect himself, and there was not even a person to welcome him.

Hundreds of blacksmith apprentices were busy, and hand-processing the forged iron into weapons or tools again. More than a dozen formal blacksmiths were assembling the second wind forging machine. With the mature design of the first, the follow-up was much simpler.

In addition, there is another windmill being built, and a belt that transmits power is being installed, which will provide more convenience for the forging site.

Zhou Qingfeng called out a human deputy foreman and asked in a low voice: "Now our forging machine is ready to use, so don't let outsiders contact you anymore. Set up a separate forging workshop, and only those who have undergone political review can enter."

The deputy foreman nodded and said, "Hiss Hugo, you went to explore the remains of the elves a month ago. The forging site escaped two blacksmiths. However, they failed to see the full version of the forging machine and had incomplete skills.

Later, someone wanted to escape or sneak in, and all of them were secretly executed. Now all those who operate the forging machine are the first ones who followed you, and they are very reliable."

"Very good." Zhou Qingfeng expressed his satisfaction with this, "How much equipment can the forging site produce in a month now?"

"Eight thousand arrows, two hundred spearheads, one hundred long swords, fifty iron shields. In addition, we have also created some iron tools, such as hoes, axes, iron pots, machetes, etc. We are all short of these things."

This yield is really not much.

In addition to weapons, the lack of iron tools was something Zhou Qingfeng had known for a long time. The black forest was really poor, and it was so poor. At the time in Heizang Village, the whole village could not find a few pots to boil water.

As the population of Harmony Village increases and construction continues, tools are even scarce than weapons. The human deputy foreman complained: "We can build more things now, but the iron furnace can produce so much iron."

"Then build another iron smelting furnace."

"No, we are short of iron ore."
