At this time, Ji Liuli was in Zhang Sheng's room. The table in front of the two of them was filled with small and large parts, and boxes of gunpowder were placed next to them.
The parts on the table came in various shapes, the big ones were like watermelons, and the small ones required a dozen to be tied together to be as thick as a hair. Wei Yuan didn't recognize any of these parts, let alone their purpose.
Zhang Sheng and Ji Liuli each took a piece of jade paper and were reading it carefully. Both of them frowned and thought while reading.
Wei Yuan did not dare to disturb him and walked lightly into the room. He scanned the jade paper with his consciousness and found that it was actually the information written by Xu Wenwu. Wei Yuan had already read these things by heart, and most of them were classified as garbage.
What is so difficult about these things that requires Senior Sister and Master to think so hard?
Wei Yuan stood quietly next to him, waiting for the senior sister to come down.
Ji Liuli suddenly shook his head hard and said, "Forget it, let's think about what we can achieve now. Well, Xiao Weiyuan, what can I do for you?"
Wei Yuan exchanged himself for thunder crystal wood and told the senior sister to set up the formation. Ji Liuli said: "Then I will help little Wei Yuan plant trees first to change my mind. You can think about it slowly first.
"
Zhang Sheng nodded, but his consciousness still did not leave the jade paper.
Wei Yuan naturally knew the nature of a teacher. Once he delved into something, he would forget to eat and sleep.
The two flew to the northeast of the boundary and chose a small hill with mostly rocks. Wei Yuan inserted the thunder crystal seedling into the soil. As soon as the thunder crystal wood entered the earth, a small electric arc instantly lit up inside the tree, and then stretched out from below.
Several thin roots began to grow deep into the earth.
Ji Liuli determined the location, arranged the spiritual objects, and began to lay out the formation to trigger and beam thunder.
This kind of work was completely familiar to Ji Liuli and there was no need to think about it at all. Wei Yuan took this moment to ask Ji Liuli and Zhang Sheng what they were studying just now.
Ji Liuli said: "We are studying the method of refining steel. Mortals in that world can refine thousands of stones of refined steel in one furnace, without spiritual power and without the assistance of formations. It is really unbelievable. Oh, I will show you.
You will understand immediately."
Ji Liuli picked up a few stones and grabbed them in the air. The stones instantly turned into powder. Then different powders gathered into clumps, and more than a dozen stone clumps appeared in the air, some large and some small.
"There are iron and copper veins in the ground here. There is a lot of iron in these stones. Now I have sifted out the original iron."
Ji Liuli scattered the other stone masses, leaving only one iron mass. Wei Yuan's consciousness swept through it and he felt that it was almost entirely iron, with less than 10% impurities.
The iron powder ball floated above Ji Liuli's palm, and then he saw a flame erupting from his palm. In an instant, the iron powder ball turned red, then melted and turned into a soft ball.
Ji Liuli twitched his left hand, and a lot of impurities were taken out of the melted iron mass, leaving only a very pure molten iron with no impurities.
"This is iron. We monks can identify physical properties and can directly adjust the physical properties with the power of spiritual consciousness."
Then Ji Liuli had several more powders in his left hand. With a gentle blow, the powder was sent into the molten iron mass and evenly distributed everywhere. Then the color of the flame changed from red to blue, then to pure white, and the iron mass completely changed.
It is molten iron and is bundled into a ball by Dao force.
"This is steel." The temperature of the molten iron rose and fell sharply. Ji Liuli added a little more powder. After repeating this several times, the temperature dropped straight to normal temperature and turned into a steel ball shining with a faint green light.
"This is stainless steel."
Wei Yuan nodded. These principles were all learned in the art class, but at that time the students' cultivation was still shallow and they had to rely on the fire to heat up. When adjusting physical properties, they could only handle a little bit at a time. Wei Yuan was busy for a long time.
In the end, two taels of fine steel were smelted, and it was still of average quality. How could he be like Ji Liuli, who could smelt hundreds of kilograms of fine steel with just a wave of his hand.
Fine steel is the top of all materials, but it is far from the end of the road.
If other fairy materials are added and refined with Tao power, the fine steel can become a spiritual material, just like the difference between fairy silver and mortal silver.
Ji Liuli said: "With my cultivation level, I can only refine a thousand kilograms of fine steel at a time, which is less than ten stones. But the mortals in that world can refine thousands of stones of fine steel in one furnace. Doesn't this mean that I am a cultivator?"
After so many years, you are no longer as good as some mortals?"
"This... of course can't be compared like this." Wei Yuan said.
But after Ji Liuli demonstrated like this, Wei Yuan gradually understood and thought: "We all use our spiritual consciousness to distinguish the physical properties, and then use Tao power to adjust the ingredients of the materials according to the physical properties. There is a limit to the materials that can be processed at one time. No matter how much more
It is impossible to ensure that the materials are evenly distributed and the physical properties are balanced. Those mortals smelt a thousand stones of fine steel in one furnace, so wouldn’t the various ores put into the furnace cost two thousand stones? How do they ensure the balance of the internal physical properties of the materials?"
Ji Liuli said: "This is one, and the other is temperature. It is difficult to melt iron with ordinary fire, let alone fine steel. We use earth fire, sky fire, Tao fire, and spiritual fire to make weapons. Except for some special functions,
Many flames can naturally melt gold and stone, not to mention fine steel. But these flames need to be controlled by spiritual consciousness and supported by Taoist power. That world is just mortals, how do they control the temperature of the fire?"
The difficulty varies depending on how much material is put into a furnace. Refining ten kilograms at a time and refining a thousand kilograms at a time are already as difficult as heaven and earth, let alone a furnace of a thousand kilograms or even higher. Thinking along this line of thought, the more Wei Yuan thought about it, the more difficult it became.
Shocked.
Wei Yuan said slowly: "In that world, ordinary people's furnaces can produce thousands of stones of fine steel, and the quality is the same. From this point of view, they should be able to accurately know the temperature of the furnace, and have means to ensure that the temperature of the furnace rises or falls to a certain level.
In a specific area, it can also ensure constant temperature and balanced physical properties inside the charge. There are too many things involved."
Ji Liuli nodded: "Well, if each item is subdivided, I'm afraid it is enough to become a field of research. That world must have reached a corresponding height in all aspects, and only then did it finally have this furnace of thousands of stones of fine steel."
Wei Yuan said: "Xu Wenwu has no knowledge or skills in that world. I'm afraid there are many fields that he has never even heard of."
Ji Liuli said: "It doesn't matter, we just need to know what the mortals in that world have done. Our spiritual consciousness runs a thousand times faster than mortals. We can also do what mortals can do."
Wei Yuan also thinks it makes sense. Just like a furnace of thousands of stones of fine steel. Now that you know there is such a thing, you can do it sooner or later by studying it slowly. Let alone a furnace of thousands of stones, it is ten thousand stones, or one hundred thousand stones. Mortals can do it.
, there is no reason why cultivators can’t do it.
While the two were chatting, Wei Yuan remembered something again. To be able to raise a thousand stones of raw material to the point where it can be melted into molten iron would require a lot of energy. And many mortals in that world seemed to be using electricity.
Speaking of this, Ji Liuli said: "We also have many methods that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, such as Feng Shui and luck. You already have luck in your body, and with the Feng Shui formation I have set up, many things will fall into place.
That’s it. Look, no one told you, why don’t you just exchange Zhuleimu and come back?”
