Chapter 289: Made! Released from the mold!

Just like Lu Yu said before, the reason why phosphorus is needed in the process of refining wrought iron is just to catalyze the carbon emission process!

With the addition of bone meal, not only the blazing fires but also the molten iron changed.

The molten iron at this time can no longer be described as boiling.

Judging from his posture, it was exactly like what he was before the explosion.

"It should be almost done now!"

After half an hour, Xu Wen frowned slightly and said with some uncertainty.

After all, this was Xu Wen's first time making wrought iron. If he had used the kind of pig iron he made at the beginning, he would have finished making it long ago.

The difference between wrought iron and pig iron, in addition to the different refining time, also lies in the quality of the final weapon!

As Xu Wen's voice fell, the monkey group suddenly became very lively.

This atmosphere is like those of children during the Spring Festival.

"laugh!"

At this time, the iron ore that laughed like heads was no longer in the furnace, and was replaced by molten iron all concentrated in stone buckets.

Moreover, what frightened the group members was that the molten iron was red in color, just like magma.

Moreover, just seeing the color of molten iron made the monkeys feel like they wanted to stay away.

It was as if he died after being accidentally splashed with molten iron.

"Get the mold ready!"

Looking at the red molten iron, Xu Wen nodded with some satisfaction.

What needs to be done now is to quickly pour all the molten iron into the mold.

If there is any delay in the process, the molten iron may be solidified into the shape of a barrel.

Secondly, this is also the reason why Xu Wen used relatively hard stones as the material for carving molds.

Although wood is easier to process, under the influence of molten iron with a temperature of several thousand degrees, the wood may burn at the moment of contact.

"This time, our arsenal can finally be filled with these weapons!"

Looking at the molds in the open space that had been completely filled with molten iron, the monkeys were filled with excitement.

You know, what Xu Wen made this time was not just an iron sword or a scimitar.

Among these molds, in addition to the two weapons mentioned above, there are also various weapons such as arrows, farm tools, traps, etc.

If we still use the primitive casting method from the beginning, it will probably take a very long time to manufacture so many tools.

However, with the help of these molds, excluding the final cooling time, it can be completed in just a few minutes!

"Okay, the next step is to wait for them to cool down completely!"

As the last drop of molten iron flowed out, Xu Wen took a long breath and said to the monkeys.

"Boss, how long does it take to cool down?"

Seeing Xu Wen's actions, the monkeys suppressed their impatience and spoke to Xu Wen as calmly as possible.

"It must take a few hours anyway!"

Xu Wen looked at whether those molds of yours still had clusters of small flames coming out, and said with some uncertainty.

After all, the temperature of this molten iron is really too high. Even ordinary hot water will take a long time to cool down, let alone this molten iron.

"Ah, why does it take so long!"

"Isn't there any good way?"

After hearing Xu Wen's words, the little monkeys among the monkeys were like deflated rubber balls.

The originally joyful mood disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After all, everyone knows that sometimes waiting is the most troublesome thing.

"Hoo ho ho!"

Just when Xu Wen was thinking of a solution and had yet to respond, the sound of blowing air kept coming to his ears.

After hearing this voice, Xu Wen turned his head subconsciously, but was amused by the scene in front of him.

It turned out that the sound of blowing air was not coming from the wind or my own stove, but from monkeys.

At this time, the monkeys were like small fans, inflating their cheeks and constantly blowing air towards the molds.

Although the instinctive approach of the monkeys is really very smart, the effect it can achieve is minimal.

This is similar to a drop in a bucket of water. If it were replaced by a cup of hot water, it might really be able to cool down with the efforts of the monkeys.

"Okay, it's not obvious that this will work!"

"You go get some water and come back. Now we can only lower the surrounding temperature a little to cool down the molten iron!"

Xu Wen thought for a long time, but could not come up with any effective method.

After all, for the monkeys, the only thing they can use to cool down is water resources.

However, since the materials used to make the molds are all stones, if all these molds are placed in water, I am afraid that all the previous work will be ruined!

In this way, the monkeys spent the longest four hours of their lives while constantly sprinkling water.

At this time, the sky has also changed from the sun just showing its shy face to the state where the sun is shining brightly!

"Okay, take all these weapons out of the molds!"

Looking at the monkeys who were eager to cool down the mold, Xu Wen discovered for the first time that they actually had such a good quality of perseverance.

"real?"

After hearing Xu Wen's sudden words, the entire monkey group instantly burst into loud cheers.

The reason why they were willing to spend four hours cooling down the mold was because they were waiting for this moment.

"Crash!"

As the weapons continued to be drawn out of the molds, a sound of metal colliding with each other instantly sounded in the sky above the open space.

This sound sounds so pleasant now!

"Hoo ho ho!"

The monkey group also immediately held their own real iron sword in their hands and kept gesticulating in the air.

"Okay, now that we have weapons, let's go with me to the woods to experience it!"

"Besides, it's time to improve the food for you now!"
