defend the truth

On the fifth day of February, the furnace built by Luo Yicheng was ready for use.And Li Weizhen also started smelting non-stop, refining the iron ore mined in the past two days into high-purity pig iron.

Both of them are very busy. Luo Yicheng has already started to build the treasure refining platform. After Li Weizhen has produced enough iron ingots, he can build the forging platform intensively.

The reason why he was so tense and hasty is that Li Weizhen has already made a plan. He will go to Yangzhou on February [-]th to go to the black market in Fengcheng to buy spiritual grain seeds.

Grain is easy to buy, but grain seeds are hard to find.But the significance of the existence of the black market is to trade things that are not easy to see on the market, or even considered taboo.

Therefore, Li Weizhen is still full of confidence in this trip.It's definitely not possible to return empty-handed, but you have to spend money with your fingers again.

The reason why the schedule is so tight is that February [-]th of this year is the Awakening of Insects in the solar festival.There is an old saying in Tiannan Realm, "If you don't soak the valley after the stinging sting, you won't be familiar with the valley of the Great Heat", this saying applies both on and off the mountain.

Rice is a kind of food, it cannot be harvested directly by sowing.Its seeds are relatively delicate, and they must be awakened to germinate, and then planted in seedling fields to cultivate seedlings. After about a month, they can be transplanted into paddy fields, which is called "transplanting seedlings".Farm work also has knowledge, deep and shallow, and ultimately cannot do without the word "tiring".All the hard work is for that bowl of fragrant rice.

Of course, it doesn't mean that it must be crucified on the day of Awakening of Insects, but there should not be too many days before and after.Li Weizhen attaches great importance to this matter, it is related to the issue of eating in the future, even if the adults don't eat, isn't there still two children?When eating and practicing are linked, it is really not a trivial matter.

So what is the relationship between the future itinerary and the busyness of the present?

The main reason is that Li Weizhen hoped that the artificial limb could be manufactured before he went out this time.This matter has weighed on his mind, in fact, it has been more than half a month.This was something that had to be done sooner or later, and he really didn't want to wait any longer, and he didn't want to procrastinate.Because, in the future, there will only be more and more things to keep busy.

If many things are not put aside, then they can be regarded as nothing.It's just being backlogged, and if you don't do it yourself, no one can do it for you.

On the side of the melting furnace, apart from Li Weizhen's busy figure, there were also Zhuang Ming, Ye Tong and Fu Jingzhang. They had to observe attentively from the sidelines, and had to obey the guidance and help out from time to time.

No matter how capable Li Weizhen is, he is only one person after all, and he can't use the clone technique for the time being.He must have helpers, the more the better, the more capable the better.Only in this way can he have more time to do more things.But it is hard to find excellent helpers, so you can only cultivate them yourself.

Li Weizhen doesn't expect all three of them to be able to learn something, because it depends on talent and personal efforts.But the meaning of knowledge lies in dissemination.If one of the three can become a talent; then this person who has achieved success in learning may be able to teach the other three in the future.Under such a cycle, rebuilding Qilu and Zongmen is just around the corner!

Refining metal is the most basic skill of refining, the most basic and the most important!

After all, only good materials can make a good tool.Among them, in fact, it is very similar to the principle of accepting apprentices and teaching skills!

People are divided into grades, and so is the quality of ore.Today, the iron ore mined by Li Weizhen happens to be a medium-to-lower quality iron ore with a lot of impurities, and it takes more effort to refine it.

The iron ore of medium and low quality can be classified as "lean iron ore", the ore body is complex, and there are many symbiotic composite ores.Before being put into the furnace for refining, the excess miscellaneous stones have to be knocked out with a hammer, and then crushed, screened... and so on.

With Li Weizhen's current ability, he slapped it with a palm of the wind, basically a huge natural iron ore, and the rest is relatively clean iron ore.But he didn't do that, he handed over the work to three "apprentices"!

This will indeed slow down a lot of progress, but if you can learn something without going through hardships and starting from basic tasks, there may be such people, but they will definitely not be taught by Li Weizhen.

When the baskets of grain-sized iron ore are poured into the furnace for refining, coke and limestone must be added in order to fully smelt pig iron.Coke is not ordinary charcoal, but is calcined from coal, which can be bought in secular towns.It is an indispensable thing in the blacksmith's shop.Without this thing, the quality of the smelted iron will be much worse.

When coke is burning, it can release a blue flame with extremely high temperature.The proficiency refers to this!Ordinary firewood can only make the fire glow red, which is a big difference.

Fire cultivators know best the temperature difference between different colors of flames, most of which are red, yellow, white, and blue, increasing in order.

In the past, when Li Weizhen was in Taiyi Qilu, of course he didn't use coke.It is the blue Nieshi, which burns out a cyan flame that is stronger than blue, and that is the true color of pure cyan.

But now if he wants to get the green Nirvana stone, he has to go to the black market, so he has no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

Limestone is also obtained locally, there are nearby hills, and several mountains are connected.The quantity is not inexhaustible, but it can also be said to be quite huge!

The style of this furnace today is exactly the same as the one in Tai Qi Lu in the past. It is said that it is different from other furnaces. The structure is much more complicated and it can remove impurities better.It was also rumored that it was Yunzhu, the ancestor of Taiyimen's weapon refining back then, who obtained the construction blueprint from another world by a great chance, which is said to be miraculous.

But Li Weizhen clearly knew that this furnace was very similar to the one in his blacksmith shop.Presumably, it is just that later generations have thickened their pen and ink in order to sing praises, and the authenticity may not stand up to scrutiny.

During smelting, part of the coke will not be burned directly, but mixed with iron ore and limestone, and sent into the smelting chamber from the silo of the furnace.When the high-temperature hot air generated by combustion under the furnace is continuously sent into the furnace chamber, that part of the coke will start to burn, and the impurities of the iron ore will be calcined to form molten iron.

Then, the molten iron is discharged from the tap hole of the furnace, and the slag generated by the impurities of iron ore and limestone is also discharged from the slag discharge port.

All of this, as long as you know the order of operations and grasp the corresponding time, it is not difficult.Just staying by the fireside, the constant high temperature makes people feel uncomfortable, and it is indeed true.

There are actually different types of furnaces. The one just now is for smelting, and the other is for cutting and forging.

After the molten iron had cooled down to iron, Li Weizhen had to remelt and forge those blanks to further remove impurities and cast them into iron ingots.Therefore, in fact, there are two furnaces built by Luo Yicheng, each with its own function.

The iron ingots formed by compound forging many times have broken away from the category of pig iron and can be regarded as steel.Such iron ingots can be used to forge swords.It's just that there is a lack of a forging table, and it is quite difficult to forge a sword embryo with composite materials.That's a different matter from cutting materials on iron piers today.The knowledge in it cannot be clarified in a short while.

After three whole days, Li Weizhen finally stopped his work of smelting iron and swinging hammers.Among the three people who followed him to learn art, except for Zhuang Ming who had a foundation in cultivation, the young Ye Tong and the frail Fu Jingzhang, they were almost peeled off.

The worst thing was Fu Jingzhang, who was diagnosed with heat stroke by Xia Chan in mid-spring.It seems that the matter of learning how to refine weapons has nothing to do with him.This, after all, cannot be forced.

After temporarily leaving the furnace, Li Weizhen still had no leisure time.At night, carrying the Juque sword, he walked into the depths of the ginkgo forest. Looking at an ancient ginkgo tree with a huge trunk, he fell into hesitation and deep thought!

This ancient ginkgo tree and the one outside the southeast corner of the wooden house are probably brothers and sisters.It can even be boldly speculated that the rest of the ginkgo trees in this ginkgo forest are descendants of the two.

To be honest, Li Weizhen really couldn't bear to cut down such a thousand-year-old tree.Moreover, they have already taken part of the homes of these ginkgos.Nowadays, it is a bit too much to cut down the young ones and then chop up the old ones!

But helplessly, the aura of this ancient ginkgo tree is too strong, and it is the best material that Li Weizhen can find at the moment.In order to make that prosthesis.

Then why not cut down the tree next to the log house?The reason is very simple, rabbits don't even eat grass beside their nests!We have been together for so long, passing by under the tree every day, if we say we have no feelings at all, it is a lie.

Furthermore, during these days, Zhao Hongxue practiced sword every day in the open space under the ancient ginkgo tree.Li Weizhen had no reason to cut down that tree.

Now, Li Wei really has no other thoughts, just hope that this thousand-year-old tree with extremely rich aura should never give birth to any elves.Because, this is really inaccurate, to apply an old saying is "everything has animism".Every flower and grass may give birth to spiritual wisdom and embark on their own path of practice.

If An Lan came with her now, and knew Li Wei's true thoughts, she would ask bluntly, "Isn't this ancient tree stuck here? If it's really a tree spirit, would you let Mr. cut it down?" ?”

Then the knowledge is different from that of Li Weizhen back then, and he will explain it from the difference between "birth" and "transformation".

Most of the monsters and spirits in the world come from chance, opening up their spiritual wisdom and working hard to cultivate.According to different talents, it is very easy for some elves to cultivate human form, while it is extremely difficult for some fairies.But the latter is often caused by the huge potential of the natural demon veins.It's like a monster like a dragon.

Then, compared to Transformation, Birth is a bit different.

Birth can be simply compared to flowering and fruiting, like a fairy vine, which does not have the ability to cultivate and transform itself.But it produced a gourd, and that gourd was fortunate enough to conceive spiritual wisdom and cultivated into a goblin.

Then, the body of the gourd essence cannot be regarded as a fairy vine.But the gourd essence, after all, has a causal relationship with the fairy vine.If someone cuts the fairy vine, wouldn't it be regarded as the blood relative who killed the gourd essence?

I also heard that there was a thousand-year-old poplar tree that strangely produced a bright red fruit, which was picked off by a girl and eaten.Later, the girl had a son out of wedlock.This son is half demon and half human, and possesses the spiritual root of the innate wood system.Later, he became the owner of Shenmu Island in the South China Sea, and was honored as: Tianmu Zhenjun.

After the owner of Shenmu Island became famous, he originally planned to return to his hometown to pay homage to his deceased mother.Unexpectedly, not only the grave of the deceased mother had been dug, but the old poplar tree was also burned to charcoal by the ignorant villagers.

The owner of Shenmu Island was furious, and immediately started killing. Hundreds of families in the village, no matter how old or young, did not survive.Among them are his few cheap uncles and a bunch of nephews.Since then, True Monarch Tianmu has also become: Old Devil Yang!

This kind of situation is really very common in spiritual creatures such as flowers, plants and trees!The intricate relationship among them is simply a headache to deliberate!

I don't know if this ancient ginkgo tree has lived for a thousand years or ten thousand years.Since, such a large ginkgo forest can be bred.After all these years, if there are really one or two descendants who will be promising.One day, on a whim, I wanted to go back to find out the source, and saw that there were so many neighbors in the mountain.And if one's father or mother is clicked by someone, then there is really something to talk about!

After several times of conflicting interests, Li Weizhen can only focus on the present and solve the current problem first, then it is serious business!

How can there be so many coincidences in this world?I'm afraid that if there are one or two incidents, can Li Weizhen run into me?

With a self-deprecating sound, Li Weizhen raised the giant tower high, and slashed with his sword light!

There was a loud click, and the big tree fell in response.The rustling sound when the canopy bed falls to the ground is like moaning!
