"Lord of Huitziloppo! The quality of this iron is very good, really very good!...Tsk, tsk, when the smoke comes out and you can't see the messy colors, I know it is real good iron!..."

"Ah? Dear Bishop Sipangu, you said you want to make iron tools? ... Well, there is no rush. The forge has not been built yet, and there is still an anvil for forging iron. It needs to be re-molded, which takes a lot of time. Yes. Well, of course the stone platform can also be used first, although it is very difficult to use... In addition, dear sir, I... my blacksmithing tools are still on the ship, packed in the heaviest wooden box... Can I let Hong Give me back the knight squire you sent me? Please!…”

Dawn breaks out in the eastern sky, and green smoke rises from the open-air furnaces. Carlo, the goldsmith, was covered in ashes, and his face was covered with black ash from the charcoal fire. In order to smelt this furnace of iron, he didn't sleep all day and night, and now he felt like he couldn't even open his eyelids. But the native village leader and the bishop of Sipangu suddenly appeared and wanted to take a closer look at the iron smelting situation! This made his **** tighten, and he had to be careful to be respectful, nodding and bowing, just like serving a noble gentleman.

"Praise Huitziloppo! Look, this is an iron melting furnace. Yes, it looks like a honeycomb! Under the bottom layer of this honeycomb, there is relatively loose firewood. There is a bellows opening at the middle and lower end so that the air can be blown inside. Then go up, there is a layer of black charcoal as high as an arm, and then a layer of small pieces of iron ore about the same height. Two layers are stacked up in groups, so that the iron ore can be burned thoroughly. good…"

"That's right! This is how the bellows blows. It's pulled and pushed... This is the craftsmanship of the carpenter Antonio, and it's sealed with a layer of leather. It's so well made... Ah! It blows from this air outlet, and the air outlet is in the middle. The ores above and below can be burned... What? How exactly is it burned in the furnace? Uh, this, this question is asking..."

"Ah Tie, answer well! This is the tomato shaman sent by the great chief of Death himself! If you don't answer well, I will make tomato juice out of you..."

The red-haired Cha Bo narrowed his eyes and shouted at Carlo. Although Carlo couldn't understand all the words, when he saw the red-haired attendant touching the rattan around his waist, he immediately trembled and even felt sleepy.

In the past two months, he had been beaten with this kind of cane many times, and it had been stained with salty sea water many times. The beatings were unforgettable to him. Not just him, but all the sailors who were captured and surrendered. When they saw the canes of the red-haired attendants, their knees became weak and they trembled subconsciously.

"Ah! Blast, blow hard! That, in the middle of the blast furnace, it can be very hot... the firewood below will slowly burn out, and the molten iron burned in the middle will also sink, and then the iron ore above The stone will come to the middle, and then it will be burned and burned... Just keep blowing the air until the end of the burning. At the bottom of the furnace there will be residual charcoal, then **** blocks, in the middle there will be large pieces of burned sponge iron, and on top there will be burnt residue. The iron ore..."

"Well, that's right! A furnace of several hundred kilograms of iron ore and charcoal can only produce a hundred kilograms of iron at a time. After that, it's a matter of hammering in the forge... Ah, that's right! This is the furnace. After it's hot, , Repeat iron on the iron felt ... that is ... "Ping Tables Bang Ding Ding Dang"! "

Carlo, the goldsmith, stood beside the hot honeycomb furnace, bowing and gesticulating with a shy smile. His muscular and hairy upper body was naked, sweat was pouring down his body, and coupled with his bowed posture, he looked a bit like a bear paddling in the wasteland.

Next to him is the honeycomb furnace, which was the most common in blacksmith shops in the Iberian Peninsula during this era. The entire stove is only over two meters high. The top is the smoke port for filling, the middle is the air vent for blasting, and the bottom is the thick furnace bottom.

This iron-smelting furnace does not look very impressive, and seems to be smaller than the iron-smelting shaft furnace built before in Tiewan Town. However, the technical details contained in it and the actual efficiency of iron-smelting are much higher than the furnaces in the Kingdom! After all, this is a craft that has been practiced by European blacksmiths for nearly a thousand years, and they are truly people whose ancestors have been eating for generations. Many of these construction and operation details are imprinted in the minds of real old blacksmiths and passed down from generation to generation. They are not something that can be figured out by oneself in just a few years!

Of course, we are already in the era of the Renaissance, and new iron-smelting technological innovations are emerging one after another. In the Italian peninsula and the German states, iron-smelting blast furnaces with a height of seven to eight meters or even more than ten meters have been built. The pig iron output of these blast furnaces is two or three orders of magnitude greater than that of the blacksmiths' small furnaces! Therefore, in Italy and German states, especially in towns with developed trade, many blacksmith shops no longer smelt pig iron, but directly buy ready-made iron for forging.

However, the Iberian Peninsula, which is a traditional conservative and technological depression, has now promulgated the "Alhambra Decree", which persecutes Jewish heretics and Moorish heretics, and burns witches and devil believers. Only devout Castilians The biggest business! As for these unimportant new technological reforms, they will always be slower. Well, maybe there's more to it than that...

"It's just the most common iron smelting furnace. Blacksmith shops are everywhere in the peninsula. It's not the blast furnaces that emerged in the Italian commercial city-states... Why do these Sipangu natives, even the highest-ranking native bishop, look like this? Is it like nothing I've ever seen before?…”

Carlo, the gold and blacksmith, gestured hard and introduced the details of the furnace to the distinguished native bishop with a flattering smile. But he was secretly cursing in his heart, until he met the eyes of the red-haired Cha Bo and shuddered suddenly.

"O Lord! Although these ancient Sipan natives have primitive and backward iron-smelting technology, they are still very savage and capable of fighting with bronze weapons! These knights and attendants with dyed hair fight fiercely and cruelly, fighting to cut off His head... he forces people to drink blood wine at every turn, and carves evil runes on their foreheads... Is this really Xipangu? Where the **** is it in the east?!..."

Thinking of this, Carlo's forehead felt a dull pain again, and his stomach also twitched a little. The bird pattern of the Lord God was deeply engraved on his forehead, leaving a dark red solidified scar. And that night, everyone was forced to take a blood oath and convert. The evil red-haired attendant directly killed an injured sailor, mixed the warm blood with wine, and forcibly fed it to them! Ugh...even the native priests and apprentices cut off their hair, and some even cut off their fingers and threw them into the burning fire...then recited terrible incantations and cursed their souls with the devil! …

"Ah! What an evil devil native! I was really blinded by **** and deceived by the idiot Columbus, so I boarded an ocean-going sailing ship and came to such a devil's land!..."

Carlo cursed in his heart, but did not dare to show any disrespect on his face. At this moment, he was full of regret. If he was asked to choose again! …Hey, I'm afraid I'll still board an ocean-going sailing ship.

After all, the Holy War on the peninsula has ended, and the blacksmith's work has been greatly reduced. Although he had some savings and wanted to open a blacksmith shop in a decent big city, he couldn't get permission from the trade guild. Only by joining the Queen's exploration fleet and returning with achievements can he have a chance to squeeze into the city and stand firm...

"O destiny given by the Lord!...Ah? Dear Bishop, praise Huitziloppo!...Well, you ask this? These are iron smelting tools, not wrought iron...Look, the bellows for inflating air and the water tank Sink, shovel for shoveling iron ore, tongs for holding iron slag, rake for pulling iron, poker for stirring fire... As for this bucket? It must be filled with cold water to extinguish and quench the fire!..."

"Lord of Huitzilop! These iron-smelting tools are all newly made by me in the past two months. Although they are a little rough, they can be used first. Just make do with it... Oh! Antonio the carpenter was a big help! He is standing over there, wearing a wooden sign..."

"Praise to you! Venerable Bishop Sipangu! Praise to Huitziloppo!..."

Antonio, the carpenter, bowed his waist and saluted "Mr. Bishop" repeatedly, his old face smiling like a flower. He was wearing a wooden sign with a very abstract simple wood drawing on it, which was obviously made by a canine warrior. Carlo also had a wooden plaque on his body, but with a strange hammer drawn on it, representing his identity as a blacksmith.

Next to it, on the sign of Boatswain Chachu, there is a knife and a cable, which is obviously a warrior who can fight and a sailor who can sail. The same was true for Bartolome, the boatswain who was thrown overboard by Columbus and captured in the fishing bay, except that in addition to the knife and cable, there was an extra thin tube, indicating that he could operate a matchlock gun.

As for Columbus's brother-in-law, who was hiding on the other side, obviously far away from Bartolome, and the chief of police Alana, who fell into the water and was captured in the Big Water Bay, he drew a thin tube and a strange "honey", and he didn't know what it was. What does a lump mean?

There were two other people beside Alana. One was Gonzalo, who was captured in the fishing bay and had an arrow in his knee. His wooden sign also had cables and thin tubes painted on it. As for the last one, it was Little Gill who was captured by Yuzuzu and sent glass beads. The wooden sign turned out to be a cable and a turkey.

"O praise the Lord of Huitziloppo! My chest!…"

Soon, two kingdom warriors came from the northern port carrying a heavy wooden box. Seeing this box, Carlo, the goldsmith, burst into tears instantly. The forging tools in the wooden box were passed down to him by his father and grandfather, a real eater! What's more, there was a small bag of gold sand worth hundreds of grams that he secretly hid in the shoe repair box!
