Ever since Ye Han discovered iron ore in the cave of a small volcano, countless viewers have been waiting for Ye Han to make iron.
After such a long time, we can finally see a result today!
Will the ironmaking be successful this time?
Countless pairs of eyes stared at this scene.
I saw that in the live broadcast, Ye Han and Su Xiaoqi both endured the high temperature brought by the iron-making furnace and came to the side of the iron-making furnace.
In Ye Han's hand, he held a clip made of bamboo.
He wants to use this clamp to clamp out the iron blocks from the iron-making furnace.
"Not too young!"
"Xiao Qi, did you see that what was completely burned red is an iron block?"
Ye Han's eyes lit up and he shouted.
Su Xiaoqi also saw this scene, her eyes were delighted.
It seems that the ironmaking went smoothly this time!
Audiences all over the world also saw the iron blocks in the iron-making furnace.
It's so red that you can feel the scorching heat just by looking at it.
"It's just like what we saw in the TV series. The iron block is red-hot, so it's time to take it out and beat it!"
"When the hammer was struck, sparks flew out. The blacksmith took off his shirt and was covered in greasy sweat!"
"Chi Liu! Just wait for Ye Han to take off his clothes and hit the iron!"
"Today is really fun! It's whale blasting and iron smelting again. It's really exciting!"
"Yes, yes, it would be great if something like this happened every day."
"There are not enough people on the island to die. Two people died at once today, and Zhang Haoran almost died. It's too dangerous!"
"Although the island is full of dangers, it makes people yearn for it inexplicably. I really want to visit the island and live there for a while."
"Look, the iron piece was pinched out by Ye Han."
.............
The live broadcast room is filled with a lot of barrages.
I saw Ye Han using a bamboo clamp to reach into the mouth of the iron-making furnace and pinch out a large piece of red-hot iron.
"Ouch!"
"This piece of iron weighs almost ten kilograms!"
Ye Han estimated the weight.
This time, half of the iron ore brought back last time was consumed. After smelting, ten kilograms of iron can be obtained.
This also made Ye Han aware of it.
"Is it more or less?"
Su Xiaoqi looked at Ye Han and asked.
She had no idea about this matter.
"It's quite a lot, very good."
"The limonite we found in the cave has a relatively high iron content. I estimate it is over 40%. That's why we were able to obtain so much iron."
Ye Han said, placing the piece of iron on a wooden pier.
It took a lot of effort to saw this off yesterday and bring it back.
Now we need to strike iron on this wooden pillar.
Iron has indeed been refined, but if you want to use this iron to make the tools and weapons you want, you still have to work hard.
It can't be done in a day.
There is a saying called striking while the iron is hot, and now Ye Han wants to strike while the iron is hot.
This is common sense and everyone understands it.
Iron is very hard at room temperature, but after it is red-hot, it is easier to forge into various shapes.
So, Ye Han picked up a wooden hammer and started beating.
This wooden hammer is very simple. Ye Han also made it from a piece of wood he sawed yesterday.
The handle itself is a branch growing on a log. For safety's sake, Ye Han also wrapped a rope around the connection several times.
Using a wooden hammer is a helpless move.
Ye Han also wanted to use something stronger, but there was none.
We can only make do with it first.
Bang!
Ye Han hammered it down with all his strength, and sparks flew out, which looked very beautiful.
But the iron block placed on the wooden pier didn't seem to have changed much.
"Boss, it seems useless!"
Su Xiaoqi reported the situation in time.
Seeing this, Ye Han curled his lips.
"You only need a hammer to make iron?"
“Do you know the word tempered?”
Ye Han said with a smile.
Su Xiaoqi stuck out her tongue, stopped talking, and continued to watch Ye Han strike the iron.
Hammer after hammer!
The audience in the live broadcast room also watched with gusto, and some people even dubbed Ye Han.
"Eighty! Eighty!"
"Good guy, why can you make voice calls?"
"I can't stand it, that voice is already ringing in my head."
"If you don't understand, just ask, what's the point?"
"It's an old joke, it can be traced back to a Spring Festival Gala skit in 2005."
"I think the Spring Festival Gala back then was better than now. I don't even watch the Spring Festival Gala now. What the hell is that?"
"Who is a serious person watching the Spring Festival Gala? Do you watch it? I don't watch it."
.............
Good guy, the audience also complained about the Spring Festival Gala.
I have to say, everyone is right.
At this time, on Ye Han's side, he kept swinging the wooden hammer and hitting it, and the piece of iron gradually changed.
Originally, this piece of iron had an irregular shape.
There are still some bumps on the surface, which don't look like any shape.
But as Ye Han hammered and hammered, the iron block gradually became flat, and the bumps on the surface disappeared.
"Boss, boss, the iron piece is flat!"
Su Xiaoqi shouted in surprise.
This girl has never seen such a scene before, so she is naturally surprised.
Ye Han smiled, took a deep breath, and continued to strike.
To strike the iron is to strike while it is hot, and to strike as soon as the iron becomes red.
After a while, when the temperature of the iron block drops, it will not be so easy.
Ye Han continued to beat for a while, and he could clearly feel that the hardness of the iron block was increasing. At this time, continuing to beat had little effect.
So Ye Han stopped, picked up the clay pot on the side, and poured water on the iron block.
"Xiao Qi, step back a little."
Ye Han said.
Su Xiaoqi quickly backed away, and then Ye Han poured water on the iron block.
Tsk!
The water poured on it boiled instantly and turned into water vapor, bursting out into bursts of mist, accompanied by a hissing sound.
The temperature of the iron block dropped rapidly, and it was no longer red at all, but turned black.
"Boss, is this done?"
Su Xiaoqi asked another stupid question.
"Xiao Qi, I would like to call you the ceiling of human IQ."
"Tell me, what can I do with this piece of iron now? I'll use it to smash the green anaconda to death?"
Ye Han smiled unkindly.
Su Xiaoqi glared at Ye Han fiercely.
"Smelly boss, can you speak properly?"
She said with bared teeth and claws.
Ye Han held the piece of iron in his hand. It was still a little hot, but he could bear it.
"That's definitely not possible."
"What is this? I can only say that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard."
"It's still early!"
Ye Han held the piece of iron in his hand and said.
Forging iron into the various tools he needs is the most difficult thing.
If the temperature is enough to melt the iron into molten iron, it will be much easier.
The melting point of iron is 1535 degrees, and Ye Han's conditions are too simple to reach this level.
At this time, Ye Han discovered that the hardness of this piece of iron was far from enough. If it were to be said to be hard, it was hard, but it was not hard enough to make weapons and tools.
It still needed to be calcined and beaten again and again, and he felt like there was a long way to go.
