Chapter 116 Combining charcoal burning with practice
Yun Buliu didn't notice their expressions. He sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a pottery basin, blowing hot air, drinking broth, and thinking about the scene just now.
The explosion generated by the two masses of energy produced an electric current and a storm. Therefore, the grassland was electrified into charcoal, which was then blown to the woods by the storm.
As he thought, he stretched out his hand to stroke the little fur ball, and heard the sound of sizzling electricity.
He was startled and quickly retracted his hand. When he looked at the fur ball with dissatisfaction, the little guy was raising his paws, moving a few steps to the side, and then lowered his head to eat the meat.
There was no other way, Yun Buliu had no choice but to use one hand to hold the bowl, and the other hand to caress the tiger cub next to him.
The tiger cub wanted to get up and move its paws, but Yun Buliu made a confused "hmm" sound, so it had to lie down obediently, then hugged the heavy wooden basin in front of it and licked the crocodile bone in the basin.
Yun Buliu looked at it strangely, because he found that when he put his hands on its back and stroked it, its body was trembling slightly.
He couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't this little kid sick?"
He put down the pottery basin, reached out and touched its head, and found that the temperature on its body didn't seem to have changed at all! It was just that its body was shaking a bit.
He looked at it strangely, then touched his chin.
But after letting it go, he felt that its body wasn't shaking so much.
However, when he stretched out his hand towards it, it began to tremble again.
Seeing this situation, Yun Buliu couldn't help being stunned, and then cursed: "Zhou Cao! Are you afraid of me? You heartless brat, how can I still eat you?"
He shook his head and then concentrated on eating his breakfast.
After breakfast, he cleaned the basins for the two little ones, and then let them put the basins back into the bamboo building by themselves. The two little ones were very obedient today, which made Yun Buliu dumbfounded.
He didn't want to scare them, but who knew it would turn out to be a mistake.
Yun Buliu shook his head and didn't pay too much attention. He turned around and filled the yellow mud trough in the charcoal kiln with crushed iron ore, and then installed the dried firewood vertically on both sides of the mud trough.
He was ready to start burning charcoal and making iron.
In order to fill the charcoal kiln, he also chopped and dried the huge piece of wood he carried back.
After the mud trough was filled with crushed iron ore and the charcoal kiln was filled with firewood, he built all five side doors with mud bricks and then smoothed them with mud, including the side door where the mud trough was used to conduct molten iron.
This is to prevent air leakage in the charcoal kiln. Of course, if the iron ore can really be smelted by this charcoal kiln.
After sealing the side door and the main door, Yun Buliu looked at the time. At this time, the sun was already heading west. If the kiln was lit at this time, it would probably be busy in the evening.
So he had to give up the idea for the time being and ran to get lunch.
After lunch, he ran to the big forest again and came back carrying a huge tree.
He planned to use this huge piece of wood to make a table, but he actually just cut off the tree stump and put it there.
If I didn't always sit on the floor when eating, I would feel too backward and primitive.
After spending half a day, he still couldn't smooth out the cross section of one of the tree stumps.
He was afraid that the bone knife would be too brittle and break if he exerted force on it. Therefore, he naturally couldn't use his hands and feet freely when doing things, and he couldn't be as casual as when using the golden tiger teeth.
So, how important it is to own an iron knife.
He plans to use the remaining tree stump to build a workbench for blacksmithing. He also needs to dig a hole in the middle to enlarge the iron ingot, which can then be used to hammer iron tools.
When thinking about blacksmithing, he also had to build a charcoal furnace and a bellows so that he could better heat the iron bars and hammer out what he wanted.
It's interesting to think about it, because he has never studied these things before. They are all his first experiences, and he needs to rely on his own imagination and a little knowledge to slowly ponder them.
In the evening, after dinner, Yun Buliu did not play a piece of music as usual, nor did he review the ancient practice methods. Instead, he started to light the fire in the charcoal kiln.
Underneath the charcoal kiln, there is a combustion chamber separated by stone slabs.
He was igniting the combustion chamber and filling it with wood to add fuel to the fire.
Making a fire is actually a very interesting thing. It is hard to imagine that this process, which has nothing surprising, will not be boring.
It's as if seeing a flame burning can make people happy.
Yun Buliu silently watched the flames rise in the combustion chamber, the flames grilled the stone slabs, and the stone slabs transferred the temperature to the charcoal kiln. He silently felt the temperature in the charcoal kiln.
He had no tools to check the temperature inside the charcoal kiln, so he could only make a rough estimate.
But soon, Yun Buliu's eyes lit up and he patted his forehead.
Now that you understand the method of ‘appearance’, why not ‘take a look’?
He closed his eyes and felt the various mysterious energies from the outside world.
At the edge of the charcoal kiln, the energy of the flame was naturally the most active, and he indeed saw the most active energy in his senses. He felt that it should be the power of fire.
Slowly, he extended this method of 'appearance' outwards.
Sure enough, after his thoughts entered the charcoal kiln, the energy inside became more active.
At this time, the temperature in the charcoal kiln was estimated to have exceeded 200, and the firewood began to burn.
His thoughts slowly exited the charcoal kiln. Not long after, his mind moved involuntarily, he got up and left the place where the charcoal kiln was located, and began to 'look' at the small bamboo building.
When he entered that microscopic world again, he found that after leaving the charcoal kiln, the energy representing the power of flame was indeed no longer active, but it did not mean that there was no such energy.
So, he had a sudden idea to extinguish the flames in the combustion chamber, and then used his mind to guide the energy that could be seen in the microscopic world, representing the power of the flame, into the charcoal kiln.
He found that this method actually worked.
So, he had a sudden idea to draw the energy that he could feel, representing the 'yang', into the charcoal kiln.
Sure enough, when the energy representing 'Yang' was introduced into the charcoal kiln, the flame power in the charcoal kiln became more active.
Yun Buliu felt that this should mean that the temperature in the charcoal kiln had become higher.
After trying the effect, he didn't try again. The temperature in the charcoal kiln was enough, so he let it burn silently. He would heat the charcoal kiln in this way tomorrow to see if he could remove the broken iron in the kiln.
The ore was cannonified.
Then, he returned to Xiaozhulou and continued to meditate, looking at the blood and energy inside and the heaven and earth outside.
He was going to try to see if he could capture the energy representing the 'wind'. If he could use the power of the wind, would he be able to fly?
When blacksmithing, is it possible to avoid making bellows?
ps: Thank you to my brothers and sisters for their strong support last week. The weekly ticket sales exceeded 10,000, which is very impressive. Thank you! On Monday, I will continue to ask for votes to suppress my surprise. I will recommend this week and hope to achieve good results. Please continue to support me! Thank you!
