It took two days of work.

Except for some specially left concentrate powder, other iron ore powder has been used cleanly.

In total, Li Mo harvested more than five hundred pounds of pig iron.

At this time.

Looking at a large pile of pig iron slabs, he was in no hurry to start further processing.

Once again, I picked up the basket and went to the place where the coal mine was and carried a large amount of coal back.

And then.

He dug another hole near the cave where the charcoal was originally burned, two floors above and below, ready to start firing the pottery and crucibles he had prepared earlier.

Before firing the pottery, part of the pottery is coarsely glazed.

Quartz and feldspar powder combined with white clay and grass and wood gray water become glazed water.

Soak the surface that needs to be glazed in glazed water, pick it up, repeat it several times, and you’re good to go.

Do these pre-work well.

Li Mo used these treasures to send them to the cave, lit charcoal and coal, and began firing, which lasted about ten hours.

Another day passed.

Li Mo did not wait for death, and went back to the cave to sleep when he felt almost done.

Before going to bed.

He found himself often running to cut the bear’s skin to make rope, and the bear’s skin was much smaller than it was at first.

In fact, the flexibility of bear skin is not very good.

It’s just that he is convenient.

Too lazy to cut some flexible bark or rattan bark to make rope.

“I still can’t be too lazy in the future, and continue like this, otherwise don’t say it’s a bearskin coat, I’m afraid I can’t do it even if I connect the vest!”

After sighing.

Li Mo suddenly reacted again, he didn’t have to use bear skin to use clothes, last time he went to look for natural salt springs, he found a large group of things that I don’t know if they are deer or sheep.

Kill a few, isn’t there meat and skin?

The more he thought about it, the more energetic he became.

The snow hasn’t fallen much these days, and the cold is still the same cold.

The practical weeds and vegetables that could be found by the meadow and river were all wilted.

Therefore, Li Mo’s daily food is either bear meat or fish meat, and he is really tired of eating, and he even thought about whether to dig out a squirrel hole again.

Think about it now.

He was too devoted to iron making during this time, and he could have improved his life.

Think of this.

Li Mo’s thoughts immediately diverged, roast lamb shank, mutton hot pot, grilled lamb kebab, big fat lamb loin…

Think about it.

He made up his mind that he would start in two days, but before that, get an iron pot!

Wake up in a dream.

Li Mo opened the cave that had cooled, and this time the firing was very successful.

The pottery burned is also much better than the one directly burned before, which is considered spades, and what he burns now can be regarded as ceramics.

Especially those that have been glazed.

The whole body is crystal clear, with a faint glazed luster.

Even if Li Mo did not deliberately depict any pattern on it, the reaction of high temperature and glaze water also left a colorful pattern on it, which looked beautiful.

“Wow, what Li Mo burned this time is much better, look at the black pottery last time, but I really can’t look at it!”

“I’m from Jindezhen, I can say that Li Mo’s work is also good on our side, and it can sell for 20!”

“I can understand these ceramic pottery, what are those dark and dark lights?”

“That’s a crucible, you can use it when smelting metal!”

The audience noticed the crucible fired by Li Mo, and at this time he also took out his work with anticipation.

The crucible in the hand is two fingers thick, and the whole body emits a metallic luster, and after tapping, there is a dull metallic sound.

This is exactly what he needs!

Digging out some clay again, Li Mo made part of it into clay bricks, which were also mixed with some silica and natural graphite powder, which was used to make fireproof bricks.

The other part is made into molds for making iron pots.

He plans to use the pouring method to make an iron pot, which requires a mold divided into two parts, and when put together, the outline of the iron pot will be left in the middle, and when the time comes, just pour molten iron into it, and wait until it cools to become an iron pot.

After doing this.

He also improved his blower equipment, replacing the rope drill fan, which previously required manual pulling of ropes for air supply, with a foot blower made of bear skin.

The so-called reluctant child can’t set the wolf.

Li Mo didn’t want to continue dividing the bear skin like this.

However,

A better air supply device can increase the furnace temperature, which is more conducive to his next iron strike.

Therefore, therefore he is not stingy.

Everything is ready.

Li Mo used fireproof bricks to set up a semi-underground furnace and plastered it with sifted fine clay mixed with lime.

This keeps the furnace flat and is more conducive to heat preservation.

Then he started the fire, and the charcoal and coal in the furnace soon burst into flames, and the blower at his feet constantly sent wind into the furnace cavity.

When the temperature rises, it is almost the same.

Li Mo immediately ran to move the largest piece of pig iron slab, which was estimated to be thirty or forty pounds, which he specially left.

Pig iron gradually changes color in high temperatures.

Wait until the whole body is red.

Li Mo immediately used two pieces of flat wood as a clamp to clip out this piece of pig iron.

This operation requires a bit of skill.

But for Li Mo.

Totally trivial.

The power attribute of twelve points is not something to watch.

Putting the pig iron on a stone, he was not afraid of being hot, and he directly picked up a suitable pebble and began to smash it.

Under the knock of cobblestones.

This piece of pig iron gradually flattened.

“I believe that the audience is now very curious, what Li Mo is doing now, and such a big lump, if I guessed correctly, what he wants to do is an anvil, that is, a metal block cushioned below when striking iron, the steel used by ordinary people, his conditions are also limited, and using this large piece of pig iron is also a good choice!”

Inside the live broadcast room.

An expert who likes to smelt iron by hand explains.

“666, after waiting so long, he is finally going to start work!”

“Heavenly Master, I look forward to what tools Li Mo will make in the next two days!”

“I decided to take leave for the next few days, go to a hairy class, and watch the live broadcast!”

“Haha, the university is good, our teacher openly played Li Mo’s live broadcast in class, everyone watched it together!”

“…”
