Wooden Wind decided to start smelting metal.
What he has on hand is copper ore, lead ore, tin ore, iron ore, and pure copper ore.
He wanted to do it in one step and directly smelt iron, but the conditions did not allow it.
Because the melting temperature of iron is too high, at least above 1500 degrees.
Even if the melting temperature of the iron ore is lower, it will cost more than a thousand. He is worried that the conditions at hand cannot withstand such a toss. If the kiln is blown up, the consequences will be disastrous.
In addition to the poor conditions, he also has no actual smelting experience, and he dare not take this risk.
Unlike iron, copper is much more stable when smelted.
The melting temperature of pure copper is only a little over 1,000 degrees, and if it is copper ore, the temperature is only a few hundred degrees.
As for tin ore and lead ore, they can be melted at a few hundred degrees.
And if the pottery he smelted wanted to melt, it had to be at a temperature above 1,200, which was just enough to cover the needs of copper smelting.
"It turns out that in history, copper precedes iron because of this reason!" Mu Feng suddenly realized.
Now that you have decided to smelt copper, you have to make preparations.
The first thing he thought of was to upgrade the tribe's weapons.
Now bows and arrows and bamboo spears can be regarded as the most advanced weapons of this era in this world, but their shortcomings are also obvious-not sharp enough, not hard enough.
Once you encounter rough-skinned and thick-skinned beasts or enemies with strong protection, these weapons are actually useless.
Just like the roll of red python skin that Ko Nuoa gave Mu Feng, Mu Feng personally tried it with a bamboo spear, bow and arrow, and it couldn't be broken at all!
He intends to give priority to all metal mines to build weapons, and then some necessities of life.
The more practical weapons he can think of now are knives, bow arrows, spear heads, daggers, axes and so on.
And to have these weapons, he had to make molds first!
After the mold is ready, he can directly take the melted copper water and pour it into the mold. At that time, he only needs to take out the metal weapon in the mold and polish it.
The production of abrasive tools is not difficult for Mu Feng. In his previous life, he often needed to make inverted molds to study imitations during archaeological work. Over time, he would also make some.
Soil molds and sand molds are all possible.
The difference is that the mud mold can be used for a limited number of times, while the sand mold can be used repeatedly.
He can't find suitable sand to make molds now, so he can only make do with mud.
Fortunately, the weapon he was going to make didn't have specific specifications, and the precision requirements for the grinding tool were not high, so it was easy to handle.
He asked Li Hu to start preparing the charcoal, while he himself started to make the mold.
The mold-making soil was fine river bed soil that he asked Han Shu to take people to the East River to fetch. After washing it clean, he started to make the mold.
However, considering that mold making will directly affect the future finished products, he gritted his teeth and borrowed 200 achievement points from the system to exchange for the method and proficiency of mold making and copper smelting, and the "debt" has also reached 500 achievement points.
"Anyway, I already owe 300, and I'm not short of 200! A bald man is not afraid of scabies, he owes more or less!" Mu Feng looked like an old man.
Model making relatively tests people's patience and precision, which is a hard job.
It took him five days to complete the first batch of molds, which were twenty arrowheads, knives, gun heads, axes, etc. on a clay board.
When he was doing these things, several elite members of the tribe were by his side.
Seeing Mu Feng painstakingly carve a mass of mud, everyone was very surprised.
Li Hu couldn't help asking: "Chief, what are you doing digging such a small hole in the mud?"
Mu Feng temporarily stopped his work, pointed to the "small hole dug out" and asked, "Do you see what this looks like?"
Li Hu shook his head.
Mu Feng looked around at the others again: "Did you see it?"
Everyone else shook their heads too.
Mu Feng sighed, this is his helplessness, often when he makes a new thing, no one can see what he is doing.
"I'm making arrow molds!" he explained.
"Arrow, mold?" Everyone didn't understand.
Mu Feng had no choice but to explain patiently: "It is the thing placed in front of the bamboo arrow. It is much sharper and harder than the bamboo tip when it is sharpened! Many things that the bamboo arrow cannot shoot through now, it can shoot through!"
"But how did the mud become sharp?" Li Hu asked.
"Mud can't be sharpened, it's just a mold! What can be sharpened is a copper arrowhead!"
"Bronze?" Li Hu thought for a while, his eyes lit up, "Are you saying that the arrows are also made of gold?"
Mu Feng nodded: "Yes! Soon we will use copper to make arrows! In addition to arrows, we will also make copper knives, copper guns, and copper axes!"
Now everyone understands that the Jiang family is going to start making gold wares in large quantities!
You must know that even a large tribe cannot use gold artifacts on a large scale!
Li Hu asked in an uncertain tone: "Big, Chief, you mean our tribe will have a lot of gold, right?"
Mu Feng smiled and nodded: "That's right! All warriors will have gold wares, and the tribe will also have gold wares. Even the knife used by Ji Yang to divide meat will also be gold wares!"
"This..." Everyone became excited. You look at me, I look at you, I am pleasantly surprised.
Especially Ming Guang, he believed in Mu Feng's words even more.
He clearly remembered that Mufeng had told him before that the Jiang clan would have their own linen, and everyone could afford it.
Now, although not everyone in the Jiang family has linen clothes to wear, almost every family has a piece of linen. And the tribe also grows ramie and kenaf.
The great chief also told him that when the new ramie and kenaf are mature, almost everyone in the tribe can have linen clothes to wear.
Even if it's not enough, it's almost enough to plant another season.
This was something he didn't even dare to think about before, but now it is about to become a reality.
Now the great chief said that the entire tribe would have gold artifacts, and he had no doubt that Jiang's would really have gold artifacts!
Seeing the pleasant surprises of the clansmen, Mu Feng said with a smile: "Don't be too happy, now you are just making molds, and then you have to screen copper ore, find a way to crush them, and make a big pottery kiln that can smelt copper! "
"Isn't there a kiln for making pottery in our tribe?" Li Hu asked.
"That's too small!" Mu Feng shook his head, "And that's a kiln for firing pottery, and copper smelting needs a container like a pot! This container is used to melt copper ore and extract copper water!"
"Copper water? Can gold objects be turned into water?" Li Hu asked.
Mu Feng found that the more he explained, the more problems they had, so he simply stopped explaining and had to tell them: "Now some of you stay here to learn how to make molds, and others go to Dongshan to make pottery kilns. It's like the ones Changning used in bathing pools." That big pottery pot is the same, just about the same size as that one!"
"Yes!" Li Hu got up to make arrangements.
The rest of the people watched Mu Feng make the arrow mold, and asked again: "Great chief, what more molds do you want?"
"Knife, dagger!" Mu Feng laughed.
Shuo Feng was stunned, pulled out his golden knife, and asked, "Is that so?"
"En!" Mu Feng nodded, "It's similar to yours, but it may not be as sharp as yours, but it's also much sharper than a bone knife!"
"Great!" Everyone cheered...
