Chapter 0130 Bronze Workshop

Under the comfort of the patriarch and the Canfeng clan witch, the people of the Canfeng clan gradually calmed down.

Hatred cannot replace survival.

Although they no longer shouted and killed Ahn like before, their grudges in their hearts could not be eliminated for a while, and the two sides only maintained superficial harmony.

The Canfeng Witch listened to the patriarch's opinion and selected the tribe's resident in the north of the tribe.

Next, log wood to build a thatched hut.

The Canfeng clan members were not surprised by any surprises, and their shock and praise for the bronze axes, saws, and sickles were no less than the previous tribes.

After relocating the Canfeng clan, Shaokang was privately criticized by the clan leader and Ye Qing.

This guy has a good ability to incite emotions.

However, whenever he incites everyone's emotions, it is always inappropriate.

Ye Qing patrols the tribe.

The people who lay bricks have been transferred to the dam construction site to build stones, and the construction of the new village has stagnated.

The construction of the dam is carried out step by step, and the extraction of tung oil is still underway.

Seeing that everything was in order, Ye Qing took Shaokang and his ten-man guard team to the bronze smelting workshop.

For convenience and confidentiality, the copper smelting workshop is no longer inside the tribe. It has been moved to the back mountain and built at the foot of the copper mine.

Although the relationship is a bit inconvenient, the security and concealment are greatly increased.

There is a flat road connecting the tribe and copper mines.

There are very few people on this road, and by chance, someone ships the made bronze tools to the tribe in a car.

From time to time, people would occasionally transport the charcoal burned in the tribe and grind it into powder to the toner, and load it into a basket and transport it to the side by a cart.

A large piece of flat land was cleared at the foot of the copper mine, and a circle of blue brick walls were built on this flat land. This is the copper smelting workshop.

Ye Qing and his party came to the wall.

The wall is more than three meters high, and people cannot see the inside when standing outside.

The relevant process of copper smelting is carried out inside the fence.

Shaokang looked at the wall and was amazed.

Although he has been here several times, every time he comes, he still looks like the first time he comes, looking at the tall wall, and amazed.

The wall made of blue bricks is neat and tall, standing under the wall, it feels very oppressive.

Such a wall is unique in this era.

Ye Qing and his group came to the front of the wall gate, which was closed.

This door is very wide, enough for two carts to come in and out side by side.

Ye Qing knocked on the copper tube hanging on the edge of the door.

Dangdang!

Not long after the sound, someone came into the door. A small window on the door opened. The person inside looked out and then retracted his head.

Soon, after a squeaking sound, the door opened.

When Ye Qing and his group entered the door, the door creaked and closed again.

Shaokang looked at the door that was always closed and muttered:

"Why is this door closed all the time? Isn't it very troublesome to come in and open it once? This place is so remote and no one comes. The door is open, what's the point?"

Ye Qing said:

"The method of smelting copper is too important, you should not be careless!"

"It's okay now. When the reputation of bronze tools spreads to other tribes in the future, someone will definitely come to spy on it."

"To develop the habit of being always guarded can reduce the possibility of being spyed by someone using the copper smelting method!"

Shao Kanghun didn't care: "Is God's skills so easy to learn? You can see them at a glance? How is that possible!"

Ye Qing sighed: "Of course I can't learn it if I just take a look, but I'm afraid of someone who is interested!"

In any era, there are smart people.

The smelting of bronze is very primitive.

Smart and thoughtful people can understand the general process by observing the raw materials used and taking a look at the smelting process. Even if they don’t know the details of the smelting, they can understand the general process.

All that remains is experiment.

With a clear direction, the experiment will eventually succeed, but it is just a matter of time.

A copycat is not something that is unsuccessful if it is more than a few technical eras.

When they entered the door, everyone heard the sound of jingling copper, the sound of bellows, and the sound of all wooden pestles smashing ore.

Looking around, all the houses inside the walls are still thatched huts, and brick houses have not yet been built.

Not far from the gate, there is a greenhouse. There are copper ore and tin ore piled up on the ground in the shed, and there are more than a dozen pedal pellets placed alongside them.

More than a dozen tribesmen were constantly stepping on the pedal of the pedal. The thick wooden pestle was raised high and smashed heavily, smashing the ore piled in the stone mortar.

As the wooden pestle continued to smash down, the ore became more and more broken, and eventually turned into powder.

Shaokang looked at the pedal pulp with interest.

He couldn't understand many of the things that Ye Qing invented.

He understands the foot pedal.

After having the experience of milling rice with a pestle and a mortar, he naturally understood the principle of pedaling the mortar.

In the past, I used to grind rice and pound it with my hands, which was very slow and tiring.

With it, it saves a lot of effort.

What changes is the way of tamping.

It's so clever!

This kind of foot pedal is of many use, and many things need to be used.

Milling rice, kudzu root, tung seeds, toner, and even pottery clay are all finely crushed with it.

With a chisel, the making of a stone mortar becomes simpler, and the wooden pestle is even simpler.

Therefore, there are many large and small foot pedal pestles in the tribe, and they are also divided into various uses.

After the ore is smashed into powder and is scooped out of the mortar, it still needs to be sieved.

Next to it, several large sieves were supported diagonally, and some tribe members sprinkled ore powder on the sieve one by one.

The fine powder leaks out of the sieve, while the thick slag will roll along the sieve to the ground.

These slags that cannot pass through the sieve will be re-placed into the stone mortar and crushed again.

The screened ore powder will be transported to a copper smelting greenhouse and waiting for smelting.

The sieve is made of deviant.

With sharp bronze tools, bamboo strips can also be processed to a very small level.

The mesh of this sieve is very small and can sift out very small powder.

The copper smelting furnace has been improved, from the original mud pile to brickwork.

There are about a row of ten stoves, neatly arranged, each stove has a chimney built, and each stove is equipped with a wooden bellows.

With bronze tools, it is not difficult to make bellows with certain seals.

With the bellows, the coal blocks in the furnace will be burned more fully and the smelting speed will be faster.

Of course, the modified smelting furnace is still the smallest and most primitive.

If you want to build more efficiently, you will smelve a large amount of bronze furnace at one time, so Ye Qing didn't do it.

No need, not cost-effective.

If one stove is not enough, just build a few more.
