I Am a Chief in a Primitive Tribe

Chapter 336: Jiang is going to make copper

Mu Feng decided to start smelting metal.

The things he has on hand are copper ore, lead ore, tin ore, iron ore and pure copper ore.

He wanted to do it in one step and directly smelt iron, but the conditions did not allow it.

Because the melting temperature of iron is too high, it should be at least 1500 degrees.

Even if the melting temperature of the iron ore is lower, it will cost more than 1,000. He is worried that the conditions at hand cannot withstand such a toss. If the kiln is exploded, the consequences will be disastrous.

In addition to the poor conditions, he also has no actual smelting experience and dare not take this risk.

Unlike iron, copper smelting will appear to be much more stable.

The melting temperature of pure copper is only a little over 1,000, if it is a copper mine, the temperature is only a few hundred degrees.

As for tin ore and lead ore, they can be melted within a few hundred degrees.

And if the pottery he refined wanted to melt, it would have to be at a temperature of over one thousand two, which was just enough to cover the copper smelting needs.

"It turns out that in history, copper was first and iron followed because of this reason!" Mu Feng suddenly realized.

Now that you have decided to smelt copper, you have to be prepared.

The first thing he thought of was to upgrade the weapons of the tribe.

Bows and arrows and bamboo spears can be regarded as the most advanced weapons of this era in this world, but the shortcomings are also obvious-not sharp enough, not hard enough.

Once you encounter rough-skinned beasts or strong-protected enemies, these weapons are actually useless.

Just like the roll of red python skin that Konoah gave to Mu Feng, Mu Feng personally tried it with a bamboo spear and bow and arrow, and it couldn't be broken at all!

He plans to give priority to all metal mines to build weapons, and then some necessities of life.

The more practical weapons he can think of are knives, arrows of bows, spear heads, daggers, axes and so on.

And if he wants to have these weapons, he has to make molds first!

After the mold is finished, he can directly take the molten copper and pour it into the mold. Then he only needs to take out the metal weapon in the mold and polish it.

The making of abrasive tools cannot be difficult for Mufeng. In his previous life, he often needed to invert molds to study imitations during archaeology, and over time he would make some.

Both soil molds and sand molds are possible.

The difference is that the clay molds are used for a limited number of times, and the sand molds can be used repeatedly.

He can't find suitable sand to make molds, so he can only make do with mud.

Fortunately, the weapons he made did not have specific specifications, and the accuracy requirements for the abrasive tools were not high, which was easy to handle.

He asked Lihu to start preparing the charcoal, and he started making the mold himself.

The mold-making soil was the fine soil from the riverbed he asked Hanshu to take people to the East River. After washing it out, he began to mold-making.

However, considering that moldmaking directly affects future finished products, he gritted his teeth and borrowed 200 achievement points from the system to exchange for mold making and copper smelting methods and proficiency. The "debt" also came to 500 achievement points.

"Anyway, I owe 300, which is not worse than this 200! Bald is not afraid of many scorpions, but owes it a lot!" Mu Feng's mentality was old.

Mold making is relatively a test of people's patience and precision, which is a chore.

It took him five days to finish the first batch of molds, which were twenty arrows, knives, spear heads, axes, etc. on a clay tablet.

When he was doing these things, several capable people in the clan were all nearby.

Seeing Mu Feng so painstakingly sculpting against a mass of mud, everyone was surprised.

Lihu couldn't help asking: "Warchief, what do you do for digging such a small hole in this mud?"

Mu Feng temporarily stopped the work in his hand, pointed to the "small hole dug out" and asked, "Do you see what this looks like?"

Lihu shook his head.

Mu Feng looked at other people left and right again: "Did you see it?"

The others also shook their heads.

Mu Feng sighed, this was his helplessness, often no one could tell what he was doing when he made a new thing.

He explained: "I'm making an arrow mold!"

"Arrow, mold?" Everyone didn't understand.

Mu Feng had to patiently explain: "The thing that is placed in front of the bamboo arrow is sharper and harder than the bamboo tip! Many things that the bamboo arrow can't shoot now, it can shoot through!"

"But how does the mud become sharp?" Lihu asked.

"The mud can't be sharpened, it's just a mold! It is the copper arrow that can be sharpened!"

"Copper?" Lihu thought about it, his eyes lit up, "Are you saying that arrows are also made of gold?"

Mu Feng nodded: "Yes! We will use copper to make arrows soon! In addition to arrows, we will also make copper knives, copper guns, and copper axes!"

Now everyone understands that Jiang is about to start mass production of gold ware!

You know, even large tribes cannot use gold on a large scale!

Li Hu asked in a uncertain tone: "Great, Chief Chief, you mean that our tribe will have a lot of gold objects, don't you?"

Mu Feng smiled and nodded: "Yes! All warriors will have gold tools, and there will also be gold tools in the tribes, and even the meat-dividing knives used by Jiyang will also be gold tools!"

"This..." Everyone was excited. You look at me, I look at you, pleasantly surprised.

Especially Ming Guang, he believed in Mu Feng's words even more.

He clearly remembered that Mu Feng had told himself before that the Jiang tribe would have their own linen cloth, and everyone could afford it.

Although not everyone in the Jiang family wears linen clothes, almost every family has a linen cloth. And the tribes also grow ramie and kenaf.

The warchief also told him that when the new ramie and kenaf are mature, then everyone in the tribe can almost wear linen clothes.

Even if it's not enough, it's almost enough to plant one more season.

This was something he didn't even dare to think about before, but now it is about to become a reality.

Now the warchief also said that the entire tribe will have gold objects, and he has no doubt that Jiang really has gold objects!

Seeing the tribe’s surprise, Mu Feng smiled and said, “Don’t be too happy. Now I’m just making molds. Next, I have to screen copper ore, find a way to crush them, and make a large pottery kiln that can smelt copper! "

"Isn't there a pottery kiln in our tribe?" Lihu asked.

"That's too small!" Mu Feng shook his head, "And that is a pottery kiln, and copper smelting needs a pot-like container! This container is used to melt copper ore to extract copper water!"

"Bronze water? Can gold objects turn into water?" Lihu asked.

Mu Feng found that the more they explained their problems, the more they would simply stop explaining, so he had to tell them: "Now you leave some people here to learn how to make molds, and others go to Dongshan to make pottery kilns. It's like Changning used it in the bath. The big pottery pot is about the same size as that one!"

"Yes!" Lihu got up to make arrangements.

The rest of the people watched Mufeng finished the arrow mold and asked, "Warchief, what more molds do you have?"

"Knife, dagger!" Mu Feng smiled.

Shuofeng was stunned, drew out his golden knife, and asked, "Is that the case?"

"Yeah!" Mu Feng nodded, "Similar to yours, but not necessarily as sharp as yours, but much sharper than the bone knife!"

"Great!" Everyone cheered...
