He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 100 Hengyu Furnace

Because Old Man Wei was injured, although he thought he was well, at Jiang Lin's insistence, the meals were still purchased by others.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Lin habitually wanted to return to the ruins of the dining shed, but was stopped by several blacksmiths.

They cleared out two rooms, one for Yuan Bingqi and one for Jiang Lin.

"Live here peacefully. We can just squeeze in. Besides, with Master Craftsman Zhao here, the Construction Department will probably come to build a new house soon."

"Yes, when I was an apprentice, I was used to the wind and sun. Now having a house and sleeping on the floor is nothing."

"Master Jiang, please don't refuse. The Southern Blacksmith Camp is counting on you in the future!"

An apprentice had already carried Jiang Lin's bedding into the house, and a group of people pushed him directly into the house and even closed the door.

There was not much furniture in the room, just a simple wooden bed, a cabinet and a chair.

Listening to the footsteps of people leaving outside, Jiang Lin laughed and shook his head. Forget it, just make the best of it.

There is no need to reject other people's kindness.

Appropriately choosing to accept often makes others feel happier.

Sitting on the bed, the wooden boards creaked, but for Jiang Lin, this was a rare experience.

This is the first time I can sleep in a bed since I came into this world.

Even though the bedding was thin and the wooden board was hard, it was much better than the ground.

It was just that he was a little uncomfortable not being able to see the starry sky outside, and Jiang Lin couldn't help but wonder if it was possible to build a glass skylight?

This thing doesn't seem very difficult, right?

What is the melting point of sand?

But I don’t think I’ve ever seen sand, and I don’t know if this thing exists in this world.

As I imagined lying in bed and looking at the starry sky, I gradually felt sleepy.

Jiang Lin slept particularly comfortably that night.

The next day, he got up early again, but found that Old Man Wei had already returned with the food, and Miao Chuanfu was leading people to help unload it from the donkey cart.

"Didn't I tell you to rest for two days? Why did you go again?" Jiang Lin also went over to help and said.

Old Man Wei sat nearby and watched them busying around, saying, "We have to do things, we can't just sit there and do nothing."

After hearing this, Jiang Lin said no more.

Old Man Wei is a principled man. If he wants to do something, let him do it.

After finishing their meal, everyone came to the blacksmith shop and started busying themselves with smelting molten iron.

This job is not difficult at all. As long as the fire temperature is high enough, there is nothing that cannot be melted.

However, Jiang Lin still insisted on lighting the fire himself, and no one paid much attention to it, thinking that he just wanted to build the stove himself.

Little did Jiang Lin know that while he was frantically stepping on the bellows, a series of prompts passed by in his field of vision.

[Material quality improved by 1%]

[Material quality improved by 4%]

[Material quality improved by 10%]

……

After melting the black crystal iron and a large amount of pig iron into molten iron, Qi the blacksmith and others carried the iron pot together. Just taking a look at the molten iron, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's different after adding the black crystal iron. The molten iron is shiny and not dazzling at all."

Ordinary molten iron is extremely bright, and staring at it for a long time may even damage your eyesight.

Yuan Bingqi, who was standing by, also came over to take a look and said, "It's not just because of the addition of black crystal iron, I'm afraid it's also because of Master Jiang's fire."

He had seen molten iron mixed with black crystal iron before, but it was not like the black crystal light it has now. It was obvious that the quality had improved a lot. "No wonder Master Jiang insisted on starting the fire himself." Qi the blacksmith said.

After pouring pots of molten iron into ceramic molds, all that's left is to wait for it to cool.

After a long time, the temperature dropped, and Qi the blacksmith handed Jiang Lin a hammer and said with a smile: "Since it is your furnace, you can knock it open."

Jiang Lin didn't say much, he just walked up and started smashing the mold.

bang bang bang-

After a loud noise, the outer layer of clay broke, revealing the iron inside.

It has not been polished and repaired yet, and there is some mud and dust on the surface.

However, the black light flickered faintly among the broken clay, revealing an ancient and steady atmosphere.

As the mud and dust gradually fell off, the full appearance of the ironware became clearer and clearer before our eyes.

The furnace body, which is about ten feet high, is covered with well-arranged patterns. Under the black light, it seems to contain some unknown power.

"Not bad, really good!" Qi the blacksmith and others praised it one after another. Just based on the appearance, it was much better than ordinary stoves.

Yuan Bingqi walked around the furnace and found something at the bottom. He shouted, "Five entropy patterns!"

At this moment, everyone who had work to do in the blacksmith shop and everyone who had no work to do was alarmed.

They all ran over to see what was new. Five entropy patterns?

That means that this furnace has reached the middle fourth grade, and is only one step away from reaching the upper third grade!
Looking at the entire Foundry Department, there are some top-grade furnaces, but in the hands of the craftsman Yu Maoming, they are the most valuable treasures of the Foundry Department.

It was incredible that the small Southern Blacksmith Camp could possess a furnace of the middle fourth grade.

"It's worthy of being called Black Crystal Iron. With the help of Master Jiang's fire, it can be directly melted into a middle-fourth-grade furnace!"

Blacksmith Qi and others walked around the furnace, marveling at it, with fiery looks in their eyes, as if they couldn't wait to try out the furnace's effect.

Even Jiang Lin himself was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be of such a high grade.

But it's normal to think about it. Burning fire itself can improve the quality of materials by 30%. And there is not only ordinary iron, but also better black crystal iron!

Thirty percent of ordinary iron may not be that high, but what about a thirty percent increase in black crystal iron?

Thinking about it this way, the fourth grade doesn't seem to be a big deal.

In the field of vision, a large number of black spots appeared on the furnace.

[Average quality stove, with 109 defects]

Jiang Lin was slightly surprised. A fourth-grade product has so many flaws?
Perhaps it’s because the furnace is too big. If it were the size of an ordinary weapon, there would probably be only dozens of them.

Jiang Lin was slightly tempted and really wanted to eliminate all the defects immediately. Perhaps he could really make a top-three grade furnace!
But there are too many people around, so it’s not convenient right now. I can only suppress the impulse in my heart temporarily.

Afterwards, everyone brought whetstones, iron files and other tools to clean the details on the surface of the furnace.

Including the ceramic molds inside the furnace, they were all smashed and taken out.

Finally, rinse it with water, and an iron stove with a strong sense of antiquity and vicissitudes is born.

"Master Jiang, please give this furnace a name!" a blacksmith shouted.

The furnaces in the blacksmith camp were all very ordinary, so no one bothered to name them, but the one in front of him was different.

It is of high quality and is unique to Jiang Lin because it contains valuable black crystal iron. This thing does not belong to the Foundry Department.

To put it bluntly, even if Jiang Lin really leaves the blacksmith camp in the future and wants to take this furnace with him, no one will be able to say anything.

Jiang Lin pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a novel he had read in his previous life.

His mind moved, and he said with a smile: "Then let's call it Hengyu Furnace."
