Chapter 0003 Let's Play Industry

Zhang Shengye looked at Zhang Hao and casually asked, "What method?"

The craftsman, with a face full of smoke and fire, cautiously said: "Young master, this thing is very dangerous, please be careful."

At this moment, the molten iron exhibits a shimmering quality, with a subtle, satin-like luster flowing across its surface

Zhang Shengye stepped forward and picked up the iron piece, his slightly glowing index finger touching the surface of the iron. After a moment, he smiled: "The purity of the black iron is 82%"

Hiss... Zhang Shengye and many surrounding craftsmen gasped in shock

How dangerous is it

Zhang Hao stood up: "Thank you. What is your name?"

Zhang Hao glanced at the molten iron and nodded slightly: "It is ready, cast the ingots and begin forging"

Suddenly, the surface of the sea turned red, and a small school of fish appeared, surrounding the sea cucumber. The sea cucumber, frightened, quickly disappeared.

On the other side, the busy figures of blacksmiths can be seen at the forge, constructed from rough iron.

"Countless hammering emerges from the deep mountains, fierce flames burn as if they are trivial."

This is the secret of our family Zhang Shengye's eyes flashed with pride, but he soon sighed and said, "Now the Qian family has also obtained it"

The deathly green sea surged violently, with waves crashing down on the uneven rocky shore, hurling dozens of pounds of pebbles and producing a series of thunderous roars

This method is quite simple and does not require much expenditure. I wonder if Uncle Er would dare to give it a try

The craftsmen rushed to seize the iron ingots, and the continuous sound of forging echoed once again

Explosion? Um... Have you found the cause?

Currently, the best Xuan iron we have has a purity of only 85%

When the purity of the black iron reaches 90% or above, it becomes possible to forge low-level magical artifacts

Young Master Zhang Hao remained calm as he flamboyantly distributed the iron blocks to the numerous blacksmiths: "Continue forging until there are no sparks flying."

Zhang Hao turned around and finally squatted beside the fan to observe. The fan is about the height of a person, and its appearance is quite "honest"

Zhang Hao looked intently as one person sprinkled water using a pine branch, the droplets evenly falling onto the red-hot iron block, creating billows of steam that rose up, accompanied by the continuous sound of sizzling. The other two were forging, and with each strike of the hammer, sparks flew, which were the impurities.

Let's talk about it again when we reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Haha ... ...

Purity, if the purity of the dark iron is above 60%, it is considered qualified and can be used to refine low-level magical tools

Alas... Now the Qian family has also acquired the method of water forging... In the future...

Zhang Shengye's tone suddenly filled with anger and helplessness, "From now on, we can only strive to produce high-purity Xuan iron to ensure the family's profits"

Little Mouse! A warm and resonant voice interrupted Zhang Hao's contemplation, as a person resembling Zhang Shengde approached swiftly, seemingly gliding on a breeze

... ...

The little man ... ... the little man Huang Mingshan. Huang Mingshan was a bit excited, the young master thanked him.

I want to learn

Zhang Hao: ... ... I thought you were going to agree ~ ~ ~.

Zhang Hao pondered and said: "Second Uncle, I have an idea that might allow us to quickly obtain a large quantity of high-purity Xuan Iron"

A school of red fish was being pursued when suddenly a mouth over twenty meters wide appeared on the surface of the sea, swallowing more than half of the small red fish in one bite. The remaining small red fish scattered in all directions to escape

It is said that when the purity of black iron approaches 100%, it can be used to forge spiritual artifacts

It is nothing, just that the formation patterns are prone to burning, leading to a surge in spiritual energy. As long as... be careful!

Zhang Shengye smiled and said, "Little mouse, are you trying to provoke your second uncle? Feeling a bit itchy, are we? I'll go ask your father."

The main impurity of Xuan Tie is iron, and only through repeated forging can the iron and various impurities be gradually hammered away

Zhang Shengde waved his hand to cast a spell, and a tornado shot straight through the barrier, carrying away all the smoke

The big-mouthed creature is about to flee, as strands of seaweed pierce through the surface of the sea like sharp spears, turning the water crimson in an instant; the seaweed quickly retracts, the ocean churns, and soon there is no trace left; only the red blood gradually disperses.

Zhang Shengye explained beside: "In addition to charcoal, refining dark iron also requires spirit stones"

The freshly produced material is coarse iron, with the content of dark iron being less than 10%, necessitating forging and purification; this is also the most difficult and critical aspect of the dark iron smelting process

A sea serpent with a head measuring at least 5 to 6 meters in size has set its sights on Zhang Hao, its sharp horns glinting coldly; the head and neck emerging from the surface of the sea resemble a towering pillar.

The seawater exhibits a strange shade of dark green, and on the ocean, one can occasionally see massive sea monsters lurking.

The mining and smelting process of dark iron is truly spectacular. The entire mining and smelting base is also covered by a formation barrier.

The craftsmen tirelessly took turns wielding hammers, chisels, pry bars, and picks, with the tools shimmering with the light of magical artifacts, while the hard ore flaked away like biscuits

The power is not great, but doing a somersault and landing on the ground covered with rubble, dust, and rust creates a very comedic effect

However, there is a limit to this; when the content of Xuan iron exceeds half, it will form a very stubborn type of "grass iron". To continue forging and purifying, certain methods will be required

I have caused Second Uncle and everyone to worry. I have fully recovered

The ore is crushed in a massive grinding mill, then mixed with charcoal and inferior fragments of spirit stones, and sent into the smelting furnace; the ground fire blazes fiercely, and the molten iron is cast into blocks of iron ingots measuring three to four inches in size

The gentle breeze sways, and the grand attire flutters gracefully; a head of unruly long hair dances in the wind, resembling a carefree immortal in the murky world.

The Qian family must be uprooted; however, more importantly, it is to establish a foothold in this world! Once the foothold is secure, the Qian family is not a problem. If the foothold is unstable, seeking revenge and settling scores is merely a jest.

Zhang Shengye floated gracefully in front of Zhang Hao, two strong hands gripping Zhang Hao's shoulders, looking left and right, and laughing heartily: "Not bad, not bad, how do you feel now!"

The craftsmen are busy

Three individuals took turns forging and resting. After one hour, the fist-sized iron block had transformed into a sheet of iron, and there were no more sparks flying.

But Zhang Hao's gaze had already shifted: a craftsman was operating a clumsy blower, directing air into the molten iron.

Want!

80% can be used to refine high-grade magical tools

The iron plate shines as if it were new, with a faint glimmer of precious light flowing through it. The forged grooves resemble individual concave mirrors, reflecting the surrounding light and shadows.

The craftsman suddenly embraced Zhang Hao and crouched down, while the nearby fan emitted a muffled sound. A wave of spiritual energy surged forth, spreading like ripples on water, and many craftsmen around were knocked over.

Alright, Huang Mingshan, you go ahead with your work, and we will chat later

Thank you, person in charge! The three were overjoyed

As far as the eye can see, there are busy figures, numbering around one thousand. Although the Zhang family is not large, it is still a family dedicated to the cultivation of truth.

Frequently explodes

Our method is: water forging. Water is the spiritual spring that nourishes the essence.

Zhang Shengde has arrived and directly said: "You can give it a try; but if you dare to act recklessly, hum!"

Yes, it is! Huang Mingshan was extremely excited. He quickly dismantled the fan, replaced it with a new pattern, and continued working

Very well! Each person will be rewarded with a low-grade spirit stone!

Zhang Shengye, with his remarkable cultivation at the pinnacle of foundation building. In contrast to the somewhat mature Zhang Shengde, Zhang Shengye appears to be only in his twenties, possessing an elegant demeanor and exceptional talent

Three people form a group: one holds a fire tong in the left hand and a small hammer in the right hand, another swings a large hammer with both hands, and the third takes care of the ground fire, using pine branches to sprinkle water on the heated iron block

Zhang Hao silently gazed, having been here for half a day. The howling sea breeze brought a faint hint of saltiness and fishiness.

Zhang Hao exclaimed in surprise: "Second Uncle, what you are using is indeed the identification technique, isn't it"

Before the first ingot of iron had completely cooled, Zhang Shengde grabbed it with one hand, and upon casting the identification technique, he was left speechless: "Purity... 93%..."

Zhang Hao: ... ... Second Uncle, you have been mischievous

A dark red flame burns on the surface of the molten iron, while a plume of gray-brown, acrid, and dry smoke rises from the surface of the molten iron

Approximately one hour later, only wisps of brown smoke remained on the surface of the molten iron, the flames had completely vanished, and the volume of the molten iron had shrunk by nearly ninety percent

Now, I am eager to contribute my abilities and wisdom to the development of my family

Zhang Hao shouted: "Continue, continue, increase the air volume until no gray-brown smoke is produced. The molten iron must be stirred, and pay attention to slag removal"

"Xuan Tie does not rust!" Such a thought flashed through Zhang Hao's mind

It is my second uncle, Zhang Shengye

Oh, you have a sweet tongue. Come, second uncle will take you to see the smelting process of Xuan Tie

Zhang Shengde and Zhang Shengye were filled with excitement, shock, and astonishment, as they exchanged glances with each other, then looked at Zhang Hao, and exchanged another glance...

70% can be used to refine intermediate magical tools

Having received permission, Zhang Hao called out: the molten iron continues to be heated and kept in a liquid state, an appropriate amount of crushed spirit stones is added, followed by a large injection of air

After Zhang Shengye finished laughing, Zhang Hao asked again: "Second Uncle, what is the significance of the purity of Xuan Iron..."
