Zongman: Building A Dimensional City From The Blue Ribbon

Chapter 8 A Quietly Changing Fate, Water Demand, And Ironmaking

"you do not say."

Hephaestus shrugged.

He squeezed Hestia's dull little face amusedly.

"Next time you go there, you should bring more gifts and thank them well."

"Yeah, you're right." Hestia nodded kindly.

Don't be thankful, this wave has come down, if there are no surprises.

Hestia won't be too short of money in the past few years, and doesn't need to work as in the original book.

"Well, it's not good for these things to flow outside."

"Maybe it will be noticed, and then trace the source, and I will collect it all for you, counting you 900,000, you can come with me to get it later."

"Thank you so much! You are so kind, Hephaes."

When Hestia heard this, she hugged Hephaestus happily.

Sure enough, it is correct to confess the truth to the other party.

"Hehe, I just happen to be interested in these materials."

Hephaestus was also very happy to get a batch of materials from another world.

"By the way, since you have money, this environment should be changed. Later, we will also go to see the house and see what gifts we want to buy along the way."

Now that she has money, Hestia doesn't have to settle for it in this dilapidated church anymore, otherwise it will be too shameless, which will affect the future recruitment of family members.

When Hestia heard it, her eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, let's go shopping together!"

Ever since, the two went out together.

Little did he know, his fate was quietly changing.

...

Let's talk about Su Mo.

After spending two hours, he finally watered the ground once, got up and wiped his sweat.

"There are too many places here, it seems that the development is a bit too fast."

Twenty hectares of land, all watered once.

If it weren't for the upgraded universal appliance, the capacity of the watering can has also been increased, and the interior has its own space, which can hold 50 tons of water at a time. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to finish watering.

Even so, the water supply is no longer available.

Because the water in the well is fine for his personal daily use.

But it's useless to irrigate so much land.

In the end, he solved the problem by running to a small river five kilometers away to fetch water.

It will cause such problems, mainly because the fields are excavated too much at one time, but the facilities and manpower have not kept up.

"It seems that from tomorrow onwards, free time will be used to open up waterways."

Because of demand, waterway construction must be put on the agenda.

As for why not do it today?

The main reason is that the rabbit meat has not been processed yet.

I don't know what season it is, but it's pretty hot anyway.

If the meat is not processed as soon as possible, it is estimated that it will be spoiled tomorrow.

Su Mo took out the remaining forty catties of rabbit meat, fifteen catties for smoking, and twenty-five catties for bacon.

Sigh again, it's nice to have salt!

After the bacon is marinated, hang it to cool down, and the bacon is set up to start smoking. Su Mo waits for the smoke to be smoked while researching the universal utensil.

The first is the most urgent resource acquisition.

In the dead forest, there are very few underground minerals, and they are difficult to find, even stones are rare.

Su Mo wants iron now, wants metal.

There is also sand, which can be used as a filter to facilitate the extraction of table salt in large quantities.

The quartz sand contained in it can also be used to burn glass.

Stones can be used as grinding tools, and there is also a 'salt pan (salt pan)' that is convenient for drying salt, which is also useful in construction.

And some clay for firing porcelain.

Lime also wants some, to dust the interior of the house and redecorate it.

The first thing to test is the shovel, to see if it can transform the shoveled things like the plow and the hoe.

Unexpectedly, it was a success!

Transformed sand and clay!

Su Mo continued to test in surprise, and found that the shovel can only transform the soil quality, and things related to the soil.

Loess, red soil, sand, and even swamp mud will do, but nothing else.

But it was enough to surprise Su Mo, at least the sand and clay were settled.

Then there is the pickaxe, which once again surprised Su Mo to transform it into primary minerals!

Sources of metals and coal, stone, lime, etc. are also found!

Su Mo hurriedly built a blast furnace with clay and a hammer, and then used the converted coal as fuel to start iron smelting.

Normally speaking, it is not enough to want to smelt iron.

Because the temperature is not enough, the melting point of iron cannot be reached.

Su Mo also understands this, so this time is just an experiment.

He conjured up a manual blower with a universal appliance, and blew it at the blowing port reserved for the blast furnace.

A gust of wind slammed into the blast furnace, frightening Su Mo to stop blowing.

Because, normally speaking, such a strong wind has exceeded the limit of helping the fire, and it would not be surprising to blow out the fire.

But a miraculous scene happened that Su Mo didn't expect.

Not only was the fire in the furnace not blown out, but a fire broke out beyond Su Mo's imagination.

The smoke outlet at the top of the blast furnace directly ejected a light blue flame several meters high.

The terrifying high temperature brought Su Mo back to his senses, and he backed away from the heat.

After retreating to a safe area, after about ten minutes, the fire in the blast furnace gradually fell to a safe range.

Then Su Mo approached carefully again, and opened the furnace mouth with the long clip turned into a universal utensil.

They were pleasantly surprised to find that the iron ore had been melted into molten iron!

Ironmaking success!

This made Su Mo very happy, and he quickly started making iron products.

He used the casting method to make a wooden pot, put it in the middle of the clay and compacted it to make a mold, then took out the wooden pot, drilled a few holes for pouring molten liquid metal and venting, and fixed the mold again. Pour molten iron into it.

After waiting for cooling, open the mold, take out the rough semi-finished pot, and then finely polish and repair it. An iron wok is ready, successfully laying off the stone pot that has only been used once.

The level of civilization is UP again!

At night, Su Mo ate the dishes stir-fried in an iron wok with a satisfied face, and couldn't help sighing: "These days are getting more and more hopeful."

After dinner, Su Mo started hand-making.

Because I finally had metal, I also got a wire in the evening.

Su Mo made some large wooden barrels for storage, Chinese wooden barrels, European wine barrels, etc., as well as some small metal items.

For example, copper tin mirrors, knives, iron nails, bolts for locking doors and so on.

There are also some construction tools that are used to build waterways.

After finishing it, I went to sleep and ended this wonderful day.

...

The third day of the construction of the Dimensional City.

The recovery of the perfect body was very impressive, and Su Mo got up early again full of energy.

But problems also follow.

People have three urgencies!

Think about it too, after all, after eating something and getting it in, it is impossible not to expel it, and he is not a god.

But Su Mo is not so delicate, so he just dug a small hole outside for the time being.

Then use a hoe to hoe a few times without touching it, and it becomes soil.

Perfect!

The only problem is that the leaves are a little hard to use, it seems that the paper needs to be obtained as soon as possible.

After washing up, I fried a bacon and bean sprouts for breakfast, and started to open up the road to the small river five kilometers away.

It took an hour and a half to reach the river after cutting down the trees along the way and packing them to the side of the road for the time being.

Su Mo filled the watering can with water and hurried back to water the fields.

After the daily watering, I looked at the various crops that had grown seedlings for a while, and then began to dig the reservoir.
