Anyway, they would never have imagined what the captain was going to do.
Besides, the captain did so much just to make the three of them happier, so why bother to ask what happened.
There will always be a day when the truth comes out.
Now Xiao Baihe is looking forward to Chen Jie's masterpiece.
Chen Jie continued to play with the wood in his hand, placing the largest pieces in the middle and the smaller pieces on the outside. After finishing, he spread a layer of branches and leaves on the outermost edge.
Looking at the shaped wood, Chen Jie nodded with satisfaction. He put the soil that had just been transported around it, leaving the top and eight air inlet holes dug out at the bottom. After that, Chen Jie made some more holes around it.
Leaves are thrown in along the reserved top.
"Captain, did you get an oven? Are you planning to bake cakes for us?" Xiao Baihe looked at the things in front of her and suddenly became more curious.
"Ha, if you want to eat cake, I have to have a face." Chen Jie said with a smile, took out the lighter in his hand, lit a few branches, and threw it in from the top reserved.
Air will enter from the bottom, forming an upward airflow, and the fire will flow backwards. When the flame moves downward, you must pay attention to the air inlet at the bottom. This is definitely a slow and detailed work.
"It's time to eat, breakfast is already ready." Chen Yanyan walked out of the cave happily and was surprised to see Chen Jie's masterpiece.
Captain, what the hell did you do?
It looks weird, but it feels like a stove. If it is used to cook something, it must be delicious.
"Help me take out the breakfast. This needs to be watched." Chen Jie pointed to the large, smoking stove.
"Captain, are you sure you want to surprise us with this thing?" Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Jie's operation thoughtfully, vaguely thinking of something, but couldn't think of it for a while.
"Be good, be obedient, I'm almost starving to death." Chen Jie touched his hungry stomach and looked at Chen Yanyan pitifully.
Chen Yanyan nodded and agreed.
"No problem, leave it to me." After saying that, Chen Yanyan turned around and walked towards the cave, intending to help Chen Jie bring out breakfast.
Because the ingredients were limited, Chen Yanyan only cooked grilled fish for everyone, and took out the bread fruits as the staple food.
Because everyone was very curious about Chen Jie's operation, they all moved out immediately. Everyone accompanied Chen Jie to have breakfast outside the cave.
"You don't have to be like this..."
Chen Jie looked at the three girls' sexy actions and felt dumbfounded.
"It's okay, captain, do yours and we'll eat ours." Chen Yanyan said carelessly, picked up the bread fruit and started eating.
Others had also been hungry all morning, so they picked up the food on the floor and started eating.
Chen Jie has been observing the size of the fire. This thing must be mastered by people, because once the fire is not burned well, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
As you watch the fire burn, you should pay attention to the air inlet holes at the bottom. Wherever the flames burn, seal them with soil to cut off the oxygen supply.
To prevent the overheated charcoal from burning itself to ashes, when all the pores are sealed, the top can be sealed and allowed to cool naturally.
After working on it all morning, he finally felt that the temperature of the soil mound had dropped. Chen Jie picked up a small shovel and began to gently break up the soil outside. When the soil heap was opened, it was the time when the charcoal came out of the oven.
When Chen Jie reached out and took out the burned charcoal inside, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Captain, is this coal?" Chen Yanyan blinked and looked curiously at the wooden stick in Chen Jie's hand.
Xiao Baihe reached out and patted Chen Yanyan on the head.
"Ouch, Sister Lily, why did you hit me?" Chen Yanyan covered her head and looked at Lily Xiao in confusion.
"This is made of wood. How could it be coal? Besides eating, what else can your brain do?"
"Uh, so that's it...hehe..." Chen Yanyan touched her head and suddenly felt that Xiao Baihe was right.
Burnt wood is called charcoal, so how could it be coal?
etc.
charcoal?
The captain wasted so much effort just to make charcoal?
At this moment, Chen Jie looked at the charcoal in his hand and stretched out his hand to break off a section. A crisp sound made Chen Jie excited.
He never expected that the charcoal would actually be produced in one fell swoop.
I had only seen it on TV before and never thought of trying it.
If these three women hadn't been clamoring for BBQ, he wouldn't have had a sudden idea to get some charcoal and play with it.
Chen Jie excitedly picked it up and broke it into several pieces. Hearing the crisp sound, he knew it was high-quality charcoal.
Such good charcoal can be kept for iron making, which is perfect.
If he can refine some weapons, everyone's safety will be further guaranteed.
"Is this the surprise you were talking about?" Lisa didn't expect Chen Jie to be so strong.
I really got the charcoal out.
"How about it? Look at the quality and listen to the sound. It's absolutely superb." Chen Jie said coquettishly and broke into a few more paragraphs in front of everyone.
"Captain, with this, we will not stop the fire at night. We can make more." Chen Yanyan thought that with such charcoal to burn the fire, the food would be delicious.
Chen Jie's eyes widened. He didn't expect that the charcoal he had worked so hard to refine could only be used by Chen Yanyan for cooking.
Sighing, Chen Jie decided to tell everyone about the hard-earned charcoal.
"Although this is charcoal, it is extremely fire-resistant and the temperature is several times higher than normal fire. Wouldn't it be a pity that such a good thing should be used for cooking."
But BBQ can be a luxury.
Chen Jie didn't say the next words because he had to go out and get some ingredients.
Otherwise, everyone will not be satisfied with the food.
"Then what are you going to use it for?" Lisa pointed to the charcoal on the ground, feeling super impressed by Chen Jie.
He even knows this method. Is there really no Chen Jie in the world who doesn't know it?
"Ironmaking."
"What?" Chen Yanyan looked at Chen Jie in shock, as if Chen Jie's words were like a fantasy and unbelievable.
Xiao Baihe also looked at the captain with a confused expression.
Although I knew that the captain must have some need to get this charcoal, I never expected that the captain actually wanted to use this charcoal to make iron.
"Are you kidding?" Lisa looked at Chen Jie with confusion.
Isn't this little security guard out of his mind?
He actually wanted to smelt iron on this island in the deserted mountains.
Not to mention how difficult it is to smelt iron, but the temperature at which it is smelted cannot be controlled.
