C17 Smelting

Now naturally there's no way to get that metal and no corresponding tools to process it.

He could only imitate it and try his best to achieve the same effect as before.

Xiao Yun rummaged through the metal ores. Looking left and right, he could not find anything from Kexin, which made him extremely disappointed.

He could only pick up a black ore and weighed it in his hand. He felt that the weight was alright. When the time came, he would give up on the sharpness. Maintaining the inertia of the weight, he could use it temporarily. He could only wait until he found a better metal in the future to make it again.

Moreover, there were no such threads at the moment. No matter what, there was no perfect opportunity.

He picked up the ore and placed it on the anvil. He used a hammer to hammer it and split it into small pieces. When the time came, he would refine it.

However, the moment he struck it, Xiao Yun suddenly let out a surprised sound.

He hurriedly threw the ore to the side, squatted down, and carefully looked at the anvil in front of him.

Under the sunlight, the surface of the anvil, which was as bright as a mirror, was dotted with tiny dots of light. There was a subtle feeling that it was like a piece of jade from his previous life. It was indescribably charming.

"Magnetite?!" Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment. Then he immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's meteoric iron?"

He raised the hammer and hit it. He used the rebounding force and the floating force to feel the strength and tenacity of the metal.

Then he increased the force and used the hidden force!

With a bang, the hammer hit the metal, causing sparks to fly in all directions.

However, the hammer lost its flesh first. The high temperature of the carbon within the hammer burned and the effect of splashing out.

The anvil, on the other hand, did not react at all.

His eyes instantly lit up. He hurriedly got Shangguan Qing'er to find a servant and ask carefully.

This question made Xiao Yun even more overjoyed.

"Young Master Xiao, this anvil is not some precious item. It is just a piece of Star Iron. There was once a farmer whose house was smashed by a meteor. The house was also destroyed, and the surrounding farmland was also destroyed. The house had turned into a deep pit, and there was a piece of Star Iron in the deep pit. This kind of thing was quite common, because it could not be forged or refined. So whatever shape it fell into, it could be used as an object. This piece was big and proper, and the farmer sold it to a blacksmith. When the blacksmith left the capital a few years ago, this set of items had all been sold to the manor. The Star Iron also came along."

Star Iron?

It was a very direct name.

But it was too general!

In fact, most of the meteorites were made of iron.

And most of the iron was made of iron with poor performance. Except for the beautiful cutting surface and luster, it was useless.

Moreover, the cutting surface was often rectangular. It was different from the high-temperature coagulation effect of the Ma Clan.

But this piece was different!

It was not iron!

It was a completely unknown metal!

Its performance was absolutely formidable, and it came from outer space.

The only thing he needed to worry about now was whether or not it would have harmful radiation on his body.

Xiao Yun hurriedly asked, "Who is the person who usually uses this anvil?"

"Oh, there are two old soldiers in the manor who know some blacksmith work. They are usually doing things. Do you need me to find them for you, young master?"

"That is not necessary." Xiao Yun smiled and said, "They have used a lot of time, haven't they?"

"Yes, it has been more than ten years."

"Then do they have some strange illnesses? Are their hair still considered lush?"

"This... Old age and decline in body, some illnesses are unavoidable. As for hair... just like normal, there isn't much left."

The servant was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Yun's eyes lit up and confirmed again, "That is to say, they are no different from ordinary people, and they do not have any strange diseases. Is that right? "

"Yes, young master."

Xiao Yun was overjoyed and said, "Alright, you can leave now. I know what to do now."

The servant simply did not understand what he wanted to do. He scratched his head and hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Yun turned around and threw the entire anvil into the furnace.

He lit the fire and sent the wind. After a round of operation, he did not even burn the skin.

He didn't even burn the anvil. It was still cold when he touched it!

He could only helplessly stop the fire and stare at Star Iron with worry.

It wasn't easy for him to see something good, but in the end, he couldn't use it... How uncomfortable was it? He didn't need to feel uncomfortable. If he used it, he wouldn't be able to use it. But because he saw it, the other metals were no longer in Xiao Yun's eyes. It was even more uncomfortable.

He helplessly rubbed the space between his brows.

"Could it be that I can only give up? That really makes me helpless. I can't use it. Why did you let me see it again? Could it be polished? "

After thinking for a while, there was only one way in the end.

He took a thin piece from the anvil and polished it into the shape of a flying knife bit by bit.

This was the dumbest method, but it was also the only way now.

It was a pity that cutting this thing seemed to be a little difficult.

The hardness was too great, metal saw and so on would definitely not be able to cut through.

Unless they used diamond!

But... is there any diamond in this world? And it had to be diamonds. Even if it was in his hands, he didn't have a flying wheel to embed it.

In general, this thing really didn't need to be used for the time being.

Helpless, Xiao Yun could only take out the Star Iron and wrap it up with a tattered cloth. He said to Shangguan Qing'er, "When you leave, don't forget to take this with you. It's a good thing."

Shangguan Qing'er immediately carried it on her back.

It was more than a hundred kilograms. Her upper body was covered in sweat, but she was unwilling to put it down.

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "You can just take it when you leave. Why are you carrying it on your back now?"

" Oh. "

Just as he put it down, a servant from the Leng family came and brought back the gold.

Two pieces of two-layered small gold ingots, each of which was only the size of a thumb, could be exchanged for a decent house in the capital!

The servant's hands were obviously trembling. After all, he had never touched such a precious thing in his entire life.

Xiao Yun casually received it and then took a clay bowl. He threw the gold into the bowl and sent it into the fire.

The fire was raging, and the surface of the treasure was immediately melted. It looked smooth and glossy, and the luster was alluring.

"Young master, this is..."

The servant was shocked, and the corners of his eyes twitched in pain. He couldn't help but ask.

"What do I need to do? Do I need to report to you? "

"No need, that's definitely not necessary..."

The servant was terrified.

Xiao Yun's expression changed, and he said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, I was just joking with you. This gold was a good thing, but it was kept at home without moving. It's just a thing, and now this young master is using it to make golden needles. At that time, it can cure diseases and save people! Wouldn't it be very valuable? If it's because of this item, your family's old man will be able to feel less pain. If you walk as fast as flying, you might even be able to raise your spear and dance a few times."

"Ah? That's great!"

The servant was obviously extremely excited.

Xiao Yun smiled and threw the broken pieces of the Gold Essence Stone into the bowl. He increased the power of the fire and wrapped the entire bowl with scorching flames.

Looking at the subtle changes of the gold in the flame, Xiao Yun understood in his heart.

Indeed, this gold was not pure!

As the old saying went, gold and copper did not separate. Usually, there would be gold near copper mines. There would definitely be copper mines near the gold mines, and gold alloys all liked to use copper.

It was to the extent where in ancient times, gold was discovered a long time ago, and used as the highest level currency.

The core reason for this was the mineral resources and melting points!

Copper mines mostly flowed on the surface. They did not need to open mountains or dig deep. They did not require much industrialization.

Copper mines and gold mines were relatively easy to collect, especially gold. There were even some at the bottom of the river near the mining site!

The other point was the melting point.

Over a thousand degrees.

This was a total of 1,600 melting points of iron. It was incomparable.

1,200 degrees was a dividing line!

The fire of wood, the wind, and the relatively enclosed space could reach a thousand two hundred points. In other words, it was possible to extract copper and gold from the ore.

If one wanted to extract more than one thousand two hundred points, they would need a stronger fuel. For example, coal!

Xiao Yun had walked around the place when he came, but he did not find any coal. The fuel of the furnace was all firewood. Although it was a very good firewood, it was actually not as effective as carbon!

The thing that Xiao Yun found most unbelievable was that the things here were all iron!

It seemed that this group of blacksmiths had some means to raise the temperature of the furnace or lower the melting point.

Thus, he thought of the fuel agent!

As he was thinking, the gold had already melted, merging with the metal flowing out of the Gold Essence Stone.

He hurriedly took out the clay bowl with a pair of fire forceps and placed the alloy on another anvil. He raised the hammer and started hammering non-stop.

He went back and forth a few times until the temperature dropped and the metal became hard, then he threw it back into the furnace.

Like this, after seven or eight cycles, the fusion of the two types of metals was almost complete.

He knocked it into pieces and then knocked it into thin pieces, leaving only a piece of metal that was a few grams in weight. After continuously hammering it, it gradually turned into the shape of a long needle.

After that, it was a very dull grinding.

Wasting was unavoidable. However, as long as he kept the gold powder, he could throw it into the fire and burn it. As the saying went, true gold was not afraid of being refined by fire, so it could be refined again. The degree of consumption was actually not very high.

Finally, before the sky turned dark, he produced nine golden needles.

The speed could be said to be extremely fast!

They carefully wrapped the nine golden needles with leather and put them in a box. Shangguan Qing'er carried them on her back before they returned to Leng Xiaohan's room.

At this time, Leng Xiaohan had already finished soaking the medicine. After sleeping for a while, he was eating.

Shangguan Zhaixing was probably too drunk to drink, so he laid on the table and did not move.

Leng Ningshuang pointed at the two empty tables and said, "The food is almost cold, eat quickly."

Xiao Yun smiled and asked, "Has your appetite become better?"

Leng Ningshuang nodded and did not answer directly.

Leng Xiaohan sat at the top and smiled kindly at Xiao Yun.

"Thanks to your miracle medicine, young man Yun. Today, this old man only soaked my hands once, and I can actually eat with my chopsticks!"

As he spoke, he even raised his chopsticks and moved them a few times. It was obvious that he was showing off.

But then he saw Shangguan Qing'er carrying a box with one hand and a large bag on her back. Her face was charred black by the fire, as if she was fleeing for her life.

"Yun brat, are you going to leave?"

"There's no hurry."

Xiao Yun covered his stomach and smiled. "I've been busy since I woke up this morning, but I haven't gotten a single grain of rice yet. I'm going to eat first. After I finish eating, I'll give you acupuncture to practice."

"Huh?"

Practicing hands?

Leng Xiaohan opened his mouth wide and froze on the spot.
