Thirty tons of meteorite iron sounds like a lot, but after getting it, I found that it is not as large as the double bed that Ning Yuan slept on, the only thing that is gratifying is that these meteorites are iron ingots that have been refined, and there is no need for Ning Yuan to organize manual smelting, it seems that Wang Ziwen's natural wonder is not simple, otherwise he may not come to Ning Yuan for help.

Ning Yuan looked at the declaration of war token in his hand, he really wanted to declare war directly on Wang Ziwen now, and then snatch this natural wonder, but reason told him that if he really did this, then he might be notorious in the Huaxia District, after all, openly robbing his guild companions would be spurned by everyone.

At that point, I'm afraid that no guild will be willing to take him in anymore, and even if he snatches that natural wonder, he may not be able to keep it.

I believe that when the time comes, many people with a strong sense of justice will attack him endlessly, and when people discover that there are three natural wonders in his territory, a big guild like the Imperial League will also join in in the name of eliminating harm for the people, and at that time, Ning Yuan will really be the enemy of the world, and once he is defeated, I am afraid that he will never be able to turn over again.

Thinking of this terrible result, Ning Yuan silently put the declaration of war token in his hand back into the storage space, now he is fledgling, and he can't withstand too much wind and waves, so let's stay honestly in the mutual aid association.

After having the meteoric iron, Ning Yuan was not in the mood to invade others, so he immediately organized and began to weave people to prepare for the casting of weapons.

It just so happened that now that the tribe was able to fire some large-scale pottery, Ning Yuan designed a set of simple blast furnace drawings by himself, and then handed them over to those potters to build.

Since meteorite iron is already relatively pure iron ingots, Ning Yuan's main purpose is to melt them into a liquid state, and then pour them into a mold prepared in advance, and when the liquid iron cools and solidifies, he can get all the utensils he wants.

Although Ning Yuan's knowledge in these aspects is relatively lacking, don't forget that he has a civilization technology tree, he directly spent 120 points of scientific research to study primary smelting, intermediate smelting, primary steel forging and intermediate steel forging, due to insufficient scientific research value, Ning Yuan also exchanged all 48 war points into scientific research points, after studying these four technologies, his scientific research points are only 27 points.

Primary Smelting: Increases the smelting efficiency of ore by 20%.

Intermediate Smelting: Increases the smelting efficiency of ore by 50%.

Beginner Steel Smithing: You can craft some simple tools that increase your forging efficiency by 20%.

Intermediate Steel Blacksmithing: With the further improvement of forging tools, the forging efficiency is increased by 50%.

After studying the four technologies, Ning Yuan took people and mud, there was no way, he really couldn't help in the "blast furnace", and he was likely to help if he stayed there, so in order not to affect the thinking of those pottery masters, he simply took people away.

And although he is not good at ironmaking, he is a veteran of mud, and when he was a child, he went to the countryside, and he and his friends there grew up by the river almost every day, and what did they do by the river? It's nothing more than bathing, catching fish, and mud.

After ordering someone to fetch some fine clay, Ning Yuan played with his own hands, and he used mud to make all kinds of tools, including hammers, axes, and sticks、..., of course, these clay tools were hollow, and they were only half-made, as if they had been split from the middle.

After all the models were dried, Ning Yuan carefully took them to the "blast furnace" that had just been built, and then surrounded them with sand to prevent the models from being scalded by the high-temperature molten iron when the molten iron was poured into it for a while.

Since Ning Yuan's current requirement was to be able to melt the meteorite iron ingots, this simple blast furnace was quickly completed, and the potters transformed an earthen kiln for firing pottery into a blast furnace.

As a large amount of Wujin coal began to burn and heat, the temperature in the kiln became higher and higher, and in the end, Ning Yuan had to have people get a large amount of river water, and everyone who entered the kiln had to get their bodies wet before they could enter it, and they couldn't stay in it for too long.

"Boom."

As the temperature continued to rise, the furnace used to hold the meteorite was directly burned, and the first ironmaking was declared a failure.

After the temperature in the earthen kiln dropped a bit, Ning Yuan personally went in to check the situation.

He found that the pottery furnace had been completely burned, and the meteorite inside had fallen onto the burning Ugin coal, although the meteorite did not melt into a liquid state as Ning Yuan had imagined, it was still burned red because of the high temperature emitted by the Ugin coal.

Ning Yuan took the wooden stick and stabbed it, and found that although the meteorite iron had not melted, it was now in a sponge-like state, and it had become very soft.

Seeing this change, Ning Yuan hurriedly ordered someone to get some wooden tools and get these spongy meteorites out of the fire, and then he ignored the heat of the meteorite, and directly used a stone axe to make the spongy meteorite into the shape of a hammer.

After pouring water to cool, a very ugly hammer was made.

After testing the feel of the hammer, Ning Yuan simply asked people to make the remaining spongy meteorite iron into hammers, and in this way, the first iron smelting of the Condor tribe made a large number of iron hammers.

Although the hammer was done, because the shape was not very regular and the hammer surface was not very flat, so next, Ning Yuan gave an order to those strong warriors to grind the hammer collectively, and in groups of three, take the hammer to the hard rock and grind it until the hammer surface was smoothed.

Ning Yuan was also forced to find another way to do this, the furnace was burning, and it was obvious that the pottery could not withstand such a high temperature, so he had no way at all in a short time.

However, the appearance of sponge iron made him see the light again, as long as the first batch of hammers was sharpened, he could use these hammers to hammer sponge iron into various shapes, and then the sword and these weapons would be born in the Condor tribe.

In this way, those strong Condor warriors grinded for a whole day and a half before grinding the hammer surface that met Ning Yuan's requirements.

Although it was a three-person shift, repeating an action back and forth still made these soldiers tired, but this time they were not all without gain, in the process of grinding, they at least knew what kind of stones were more suitable for grinding iron, Ning Yuan felt that those stones might be whetstones and other stones.

After having a qualified iron hammer, Ning Yuan began to organize his men to make iron weapons with all his might.

Since there are no professionals in this area in the tribe at present, Ning Yuan temporarily gave up building swords and other weapons with relatively high technical requirements. He had the semi-liquefied sponge iron hammered into the shape of a stick, and finally created a meteoric iron rod about 1.8 meters long and as thick as a baby's wrist.

Although the surface of this meteoric iron rod is not very smooth, it is at least strong enough, and the weight of about thirty catties is just enough to exert the brute strength of the Condor warriors.

After trying the feel, Ning Yuan felt that it was much stronger than the stone axe, and it was an inch long and an inch strong, and this long weapon was also more powerful in battle.

An iron rod weighs more than 30 catties, and ten tons of iron weigh a total of 20,000 catties, which can probably create 660 iron rods, and 20 tons of iron rods is 1,320, which is just enough to arm a strong army.

As for the few tons of iron, let the "blacksmiths" tinker with them, and if they want to succeed in making swords, they must have something to practice.
