Chapter 38 (1/2)
To tell you the truth, this furnace and this crucible are a little miserable.
Because it needs to provide huge heat for the crucible, this kind of furnace has a big belly and a small head. Originally, the stone bear wanted to build this furnace, showing a round cone shape. But in fact, the stove is made of kaolin mixed with a certain proportion of clay and bone powder. At first glance, it looks like an enlarged version of niubaba. If there is one more point on it, it will be the Baba of the ox demon king
As for the so-called clay crucible, it looks more like a frying spoon after firing, and it is concave and convex everywhere, which is in line with the Chinese allegorical saying that pockmarks are not called pockmarks.
In the words of Shi Xiong's self-criticism, this is a typical case of high vision and low hand.
At the old wooden head's house, I had a bear with his wooden planer, but when I look back at the thing that he and Kuaima made, the wooden planing made by him can be called a work of art.
But fortunately, the furnace and the ladle crucible cooperate well. When the ladle crucible pier is behind the furnace mouth, it is a perfect fit.
I just don't know the effect.
After the stove was completely dried in the shade, the old wood also made the bellows. Needless to say, although the old carpenter encountered some difficulties at the beginning of making the bellows, the effect of the bellows made in the end was quite good, no worse than that of the bellows next to the stove used by stone bear when he was a child!
Of course, this bellows should be larger. After all, this bellows is the key to provide oxygen for the furnace. If it is smaller and the oxygen supply is not enough, the furnace temperature can not meet the requirements for melting pig iron.
A lot of coal has been transported by the clansmen. It is estimated that there are 8000 Jin without 10000 Jin. So much coal is enough, even for coking.
Early in the morning, all the people gathered to watch the guardian.
In recent days, the whole tribe is blessed. No wonder this big man can be chosen as the guardian by the kabulu sacrifice. This guy is so powerful.
He only needs to go out for a walk every day to make sure that he can hunt and kill a bison or a big red deer. Moreover, there is only one wound on the body of these prey, either in the heart or in the neck, which is absolutely killing.
The guardian kept his promise, which was praised by all the people in the tribe. Of course, when the guardian can provide meat for the tribe every day, all the work he asked for was done by the tribe.
A large amount of coal and iron ore were piled up in the open space in the middle of the tribe, next to some limestone and a wooden shed dedicated to kaolin.
Under this wooden shed, except for the kaolin, is the furnace built by the stone bear.
After igniting the coal with wood, even in late autumn, there was still a fire around the stove.
The strange looking clay pot was built on the stove with a lot of swarthy iron in it.
Speaking of these pieces of iron, many people are distressed. These pieces of iron are obtained after breaking those intact iron pots. I don't know why the guardian wants to do this. If you don't keep a good iron pot, you have to break it.
If these Indians knew the Chinese civilization, they would give this powerful Guardian a big hat of ”tyranny”.
