Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 33 The Furnace of Everything
Outside the altar of ancestors, the melting pot of all things is the core source of all weapons and equipment in the entire settlement.

Strange to say, no matter how old you are, how bad your memory is, the construction methods of the creation hall, the ancestral altar and the melting pot of all things, as a grand elder in a settlement, will never forget.

Even if he died unexpectedly and left no inheritance, the newly elected Great Elder in the settlement will also get their construction methods when they hold the first ancestor sacrifice.

Because the melting pot of all things is so important, Yao invited Huang Quan to help build it, which surprised Fei Jian.But now that the settlement is at the critical point of life and death, it can be said that fate depends on Huang Quan's thoughts, so Feijian is not easy to object.

Moreover, the secret value of the furnace of all things itself is also very limited, without the power of the stone of life, it is just an ordinary furnace.

The Furnace of Everything has already chosen a place to build it, a cabin with a big hole in the top.The Great Elder has already ordered people to move several boxes here, and then opened them one by one, took out the parts from inside, and started to build them himself.

The name of the furnace of all things is really extraordinary, but looking at the structure, it is an ordinary and primitive furnace.Before the old humans entered the era of large-scale industry, the furnaces they used were not necessarily much behind the one in front of them.

The structure of the furnace is ordinary, but the building materials surprised Huang Quan.

The inner wall of the furnace is made of black wooden strips.When Huang Quan first got it in his hand, he carefully identified it for a while, and finally confirmed that it was a wooden stick, only the outside was burnt black, and the inside was still wooden.

In Huang Quan's impression, there seems to be no kind of wood that can withstand the temperature of the furnace flame.But the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

Those wooden strips were neatly placed on the inner wall of the smelting by the Great Elder, and they were fixed with a kind of pale white glue.Then it is to build the upper cover, and then install the blower, and the basic work is completed.

After entering the most important part, the Great Elder began to pray again. After a while, many roots protruded from the special opening under the furnace, piercing into the ground.

After the furnace was built, the Great Elder didn't care about taking a rest, so he took out the charcoal he had prepared earlier from another box and put it into the furnace.This time it was real charcoal, but still not the same as regular charcoal.

In Huang Quan's memory, it seems that coal is a better fuel, and coal exposed to the ground can also be found in the rainforest. I don't know why charcoal is used.

After loading the charcoal, the Great Elder cut an iron rod used by ogres into several sections, put it into the furnace, and started to smelt it.

After a while, flames burst out from the fire hole, the elder opened the furnace door, and molten iron slowly flowed out and poured into the prepared mold.When the molten iron in the mold cools down, it will be a piece of iron ingot.

The problem is that the iron rod used by the ogre is not real iron, but an iron alloy mixed with an unknown substance.

According to Huang Quan's limited smelting knowledge, ferroalloys are often much harder to melt than pure iron.But after only a short while in the melting furnace of all things, there is molten iron coming out, which is really a bit miraculous.

Looking at the red flames emanating from the fire hole, Huang Quan's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to try it.He put his finger in the fire for a while before he felt a slight tingling, so he took it back.

This move immediately stunned the Great Elder next to him.

Huang Quan frowned, puzzled.As he expected, the temperature of this dark red flame is very low, it should be far below the melting point of iron alloy.But this melting pot of all things melts iron alloy into molten iron.

He has also seen the structure of the furnace, and it is not complicated at all. The flame coming out of the fire hole should not be much lower than the temperature inside the furnace.There is no possibility of high temperature in the furnace and low fire holes.

Everyone waited quietly for a while, and those iron rods turned into iron ingots, which were collected and used as materials for forging utensils and weapons in the future.

If Huang Quan was puzzled by the first use of the Furnace of Everything, then the second time shocked him.

This time, what the Great Elder brought was actually the wreckage of the spaceship!

According to the spacecraft that crashed here, the materials far exceed ordinary iron alloys.Some of the materials used to build interstellar spacecraft have extremely high melting points to withstand the high temperatures of entering and exiting planetary atmospheres.

The great elder actually brought this thing, regardless of the rust stains on it, and added it directly into the furnace without any treatment.

No matter how little you know about smelting, anyone who has studied basic natural science knows that the rust on metal is completely two kinds of substances.If you want to get pure alloy ingots, you must first do rust removal and cleaning.

However, the Great Elder put the alloy fragment into the furnace just like this, and just knocked it a few times to flatten it.It seems that to the Great Elder, in the smelting process, the shape of the raw material is much more important than the composition.

Under Huang Quan's gaze, a furnace of new molten alloy was released, turning into a dark silver alloy ingot.The whole process only takes a little longer than melting iron alloys, and the temperature of the furnace does not rise significantly.

Seeing the whole process, Huang Quan was a little bit crazy, which was totally against common sense.

He finally broke the silence and asked the elder directly for the reason.

However, the Great Elder couldn't give him a clear explanation. For the Great Elder, the melting pot of all things was used in this way in the inherited knowledge received by the Great Elder, and he never thought of trying other methods.

Huang Quan thought for a while, the difference between the thing in front of him and the ordinary furnace seemed to be the roots it penetrated into the ground, and the great elders were muttering words during the whole process.

Huang Quan asked a question, and finally learned how to use the furnace of all things that the great elder got when he sacrificed to the ancestors.

In addition to the above operation process, there are more than a dozen sets of prayers that go with it, which are used in different aspects. Some can speed up the melting of metals, some can make metals harder, and some can greatly increase the strength of metals. toughness.

According to the Great Elder himself, he was regarded as the most intelligent among the Great Elders of all dynasties. At that time, he memorized seven complete sets of prayers. Even now that he was old, he only forgot two of them.

With the remaining five sets of prayers in hand, the Great Elder is very confident that the settlement will survive.

Huang Quan felt like he had heard a fairy tale about the use of the melting pot of all things and the way of passing on the knowledge of settlements.

In this world, people have completely taken a different path. The development of the power of holy brilliance is far ahead of the empire, but civilization has regressed back to a close to primitive era.

If he continues to live in this way, Huang Quan feels that within a few hundred years, the humans in this rainforest will be completely extinct.

From Huang Quan's point of view, the Lost People's ability to use the power of the Stone of Life is due to the fact that this power is softer, far less powerful than Shenghui, and more friendly and cooperative.And the stone of life seems to have some kind of spirituality, sometimes it seems to be guiding the lost people to use their own power.

But in the empire, as long as ordinary people get close to the Holy Stone, they will become ill and die painfully in a short time.It is impossible to carry its power if it is not a real strong man chosen among thousands.

Even Huang Quan, who stood at the pinnacle of the empire's power, needed various means to protect himself before he barely survived the initial test and obtained the true power of Shenghui.

Compared with the Stone of Holy Radiance, the Stone of Life is a domesticated existence, which has changed from a beast to a domesticated one.

After smelting two furnaces in a row, the Great Elder's spirit visibly declined and became sluggish. He ordered the materials to be collected and went back to rest.

No matter what inheritance method is used, the melting furnace of all things is of great significance to the settlement. With the melting furnace, the wreckage of the spaceship can be used, and the settlement will have precious metal resources.
