“Li Mo’s iron-making blast furnace is very similar to the product of the last era’s large-scale steel training.

I have to say that he really knows a lot, and the use of pulverized coal can greatly increase the temperature in the furnace, which is incomparable to charcoal.

The biggest role of limestone powder is to help solubilize, so that iron can melt into molten iron at high temperatures! ”

It was late at night.

In the live broadcast room of Daxia, there are still many people watching Li Mo smelting iron.

“On our side, scrap iron is recycled for a few cents a pound, and Li Mo wants to smelt iron, but it takes so much time and energy, it’s really not easy!”

“Brother Mo is about to step from the primitive society into the Great Steel Age!”

“He can kill the cave bear with his bare hands, and if he has a knife in the future, it will not be a quack kill!”

“There are female college students like me, except for watching donkey hooves, they like to watch Li Mo?”

*

The rope drill fan continuously sends the air through the pipe to the air supply port of the small blast furnace.

Li Mo could feel that the temperature of the blast furnace had reached its limit.

After maintaining this temperature for almost an hour.

He stopped the movement in his hand.

Then he found a stick and poked it directly at the bottom side of the blast furnace.

There, he reserved a weaker opening, which was used to get out of the slag.

After piercing there.

The red liquid like magma immediately flowed out.

“Wow wow wow, come out, come out, this is iron!”

“How can I see Li Mo refining iron, more excited than when I gave birth to triplets!”

“Congratulations Brother Mo!”

“Don’t get excited first, what comes out now is not molten iron, it is blast furnace slag, it is a layer of slag on top of molten iron!”

The audience expressed their excitement with the barrage, and some people had some understanding of the iron smelting process, so I hope you don’t get excited too early, and made an explanation.

Many people know that this thing is not iron.

The slag continued to flow out and into a pit that Li Mo had prepared a long time ago.

Li Mo took the clay pot, brought a basin of water directly from the river, and poured it into the earthen pit.

The rapid cooling brought by the water can make the slag crunchy, which is convenient for him to clean up later.

After doing these well.

He came to the other side of the blast furnace.

There is also an opening here, about 30 centimeters below the slag outlet.

It was also poked open with a stick, and this time it was red molten iron that flowed out.

The molten iron flowed along a clay ditch where Li Mo piled up at the iron outlet.

Cool and turn black at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Li Mo, on the other hand, got started at the first time and used a large stone piece to divide the molten iron.

Say it’s segmentation.

It’s just that the molten iron is pulled aside, and as much as it is dialed out, it cools down and becomes an independent irregular iron lump.

This process is quite dangerous.

Some bubbles in the molten iron explode during the cooling process.

Make molten iron splash.

That is, Li Mo knew that this would happen, and he was extra careful so that he was not injured.

The effort pays off.

Before all the molten iron cooled, he managed to harvest dozens of pig iron lumps of various sizes.

“Ding, forged pig iron 61kg, manufacturing proficiency +6100!”

In addition to the sense of accomplishment that comes with the success of ironmaking.

The manufacturing proficiency of the system also brought Li Mo a surprise.

One kilogram of pig iron can bring a hundred manufacturing proficiency.

The Steel Age does not seem difficult at all to improve the 100,000 proficiency required in the Industrial Age.

Sorted out the tools on the ground.

Li Mo didn’t wait for those iron balls to cool down, so he went straight back to the cave to sleep.

For him, it is estimated that it will be nothing if he does not sleep for a few days.

But.

Due to years of living habits, when there is nothing major, Li Mo still likes to sleep at the point to recharge his strength and eliminate fatigue!

Not for long.

A slight snoring sounded in the cave.

The audience in the live broadcast room was also happy:

“Li Mo is really tired today, he slept so fast!”

“Can we also develop a gift giving function in the Daxia live broadcast room, I want to brush a rocket for Li Mo or something, the way he sleeps, it’s so cute!”

“No, the iron comes out and sleeps, don’t you come to strike while the iron is hot, this, this is so that I have to get up early tomorrow to watch the live broadcast!”

*

With the birdsong in the early morning, Li Mo sobered up.

Came to the entrance of the cave and drew another stroke of orthography.

He came to the small blast furnace.

At this time, the blast furnace and iron lump had been completely cooled down.

On the ground, dozens of pieces of pig iron shone with a metallic sheen.

This furnace produced a hundred pounds of pig iron.

It looks like a lot, but it’s not much.

Li Mo calculated that he carried three baskets of iron ore from the iron mine, about a ton or so.

The iron output of this hematite is generally 50%-70%.

He has used about a quarter of the iron powder.

Just got a hundred pounds of pig iron, which is already considered less.

Of course.

Li Mo also knew that this was related to many factors.

Including the furnace body and co-solvents, as well as his rudimentary to somewhat ugly supply air blower fan, etc.

Therefore.

There is still great room for improvement in the later stage.

But now he doesn’t bother to change it.

After cooking some breakfast and eating it, he directly started a new round of refining.
