"Can the remaining ones be extracted into the amount we need?" Scarab asked eagerly. "It's definitely not enough. What can we do?" the boss said with a cry. This matter is of great importance. If something goes wrong, even if people on the earth are saved, there will not be enough plants to provide the world with the necessary breathing materials. oxygen. ¡°Don¡¯t panic, this thing of yours was abandoned at the top of the pit.¡± Zuo Dengfeng pointed to the snow on the pile of waste. "Yes, just on the surface." Datou nodded repeatedly. Hearing this, Zuo Dengfeng frowned again. The fact that this pile of waste residue was dumped on the top floor meant that it was the last metal to be smelted. It also indirectly meant that the residents here had mistakenly smelted this meteorite, which caused the plants to wither. "Zhenren Zuo, what should we do now?" Scarab looked at Zuo Dengfeng desperately. "Let's go and have a look in the furnace. Maybe there's some left." Zuo Dengfeng thought for a moment and turned and walked north. This huge workshop is divided into two parts. The south side is the carpenter's working area, and the north side is the blacksmith's smelting area. Metal place. The north side is divided into two working areas, the northwest and the northeast. There is a two-foot-wide passage between the two areas. In the middle of the passage is a metal winch that is as high as the house. Below the winch is a well made of stones. , the well is about one foot wide, and the wellhead is fifty or sixty centimeters above the ground. The top of the well is covered with a round metal lid, and there is a weak heat emitting from the lid. "There is most likely magma down here." The scarab walked closer and stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the manhole cover. "Test it." Zuo Dengfeng grabbed the four-eared round tripod placed next to the fire well and handed it to Datou. The edges and bottom of the tripod were stained with a large amount of solidified metal deposits. Presumably the residents here were Use this round tripod as a container for smelting metal. Datou stretched out his hand to take the round tripod, which was as thick as a washbasin, and used the instrument to test it. "That's it, but the quantity is too small. It's definitely not enough." "Try to dig out the things inside, as well as the pile of waste you brought back. Keep it properly," Zuo Dengfeng said to Datou. "Zhenren Zuo, it's definitely not enough." Datou picked up the round tripod and shook his head repeatedly. "I don't know enough. Just do it first and I'll think about it." Zuo Dengfeng frowned and looked around. The area where metal is smelted is divided into the northwest and the northeast. The remaining utensils in the northwest area are mostly living utensils, and the northeast area is mainly weapons. Armor blanks accounted for the majority. Folk methods for smelting metals are roughly divided into two categories. One is sand casting, which is to make a concave shape of the required utensils in fine sand, and then pour the molten metal. This method is mostly used to cast rough blanks, and the other is pouring molds. The method is to have a fixed mold and pour molten metal into the mold. This method is usually used to make fine blanks. There are some fragments of armor and weapons piled up in the northeastern area, and there is a lot of fine sand on the ground in the northwest area. Other than that, no molds have been found. "Zhenren Zuo, let's look for them separately." Scarab said. "Don't worry." Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand and said. All the molds commonly used in this area were taken away by craftsmen. The remaining items are very limited. It is difficult to infer what artifacts were made after the people smelted the meteorites. "Okay, Master Zuo, what should we do now?" Datou used his giant ax to knock down the metal in the round tripod and put it together with the pile of debris. "Use your instrument to examine the metal slices. It's best to determine what they made of the metal." Zuo Dengfeng put down the wooden box and took out a few sips of white wine. When Da Tou heard this, he immediately took the instrument and searched piece by piece. Since the meteorite had been smelted, the radiation element content was already very low. Da Tou walked very slowly and searched very carefully. "Zhenren Zuo, why do you think they are refining meteorites?" Scarab pursed his lips and came closer. Zuo Dengfeng had asked for a scarab beetle when he was drinking before, so Zuo Dengfeng knew that he also liked drinking, so he took out an unopened bottle from the wooden box and handed it to him. "Thank you Master Zuo." Scarab thanked him hurriedly. He only had lavender aura and was not free to move. He couldn't go wherever he wanted like Zuo Dengfeng, so he had very few opportunities to get wine. "They have a very clear understanding of the properties of metals. They are definitely not smelting them randomly. The metals produced after melting the meteorites should be used in some uncommon place." Zuo Dengfeng held the wine bottle and waited patiently. "They will definitely not leave anything behind. Where do you think they will go after they leave here?" Scarab asked. "I don't know." Zuo Dengfeng frowned and shook his head. Ji Xian's people are all sinners. They will definitely not return to Middle-earth. The world is so big that no one can be sure where they will go after leaving here. Maybe even they themselves don't know. You want to go somewhere. "Will there still be this kind of meteorite on Xuanwu's back?" The scarab beetle asked again.Ask. Zuo Dengfeng turned around and glanced at Scarab after hearing this. Scarab was eager to get a glimmer of hope from him, but Zuo Dengfeng was also anxious at this time. He was not even sure whether the meteorite was on Xuanwu's back before. He I don't even know how to give hope to the scarab beetle. "You go back and bring them here, and rest here tonight." Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand to the scarab. As long as the lid is lifted, this space will be very warm and it will be a good resting place. "Okay." Scarab agreed and turned around to leave. "Don't be nervous, things haven't come to the worst yet." Zuo Dengfeng saw that Da Tou had been shaking slightly, so he expressed relief. "Okay." Datou nodded slightly when he heard the words. Although he was still extremely nervous, he no longer trembled. Zuo Dengfeng touched the cover of the fire well and then lay down on his side to keep warm. Although he told Datou that things had not reached the worst yet, he knew very well that things had already. At this time He felt chills welling up from the bottom of his heart, and his whole body could not help but feel chilly. This meteorite was one of the three steps for him to reunite with Wu Xinyu. If it was missing, he would never see Wu Xinyu again. Datou has been searching carefully. There is fine sand on the ground, and there are various concave shapes in the fine sand. He will not dare to step on it unless he is sure that there is no radiation reaction in the concave shapes. This is to make sure as much as possible that the meteorite was melted and made. What kind of artifacts were found? Because the search was so detailed, the inspection work was extremely slow. Half an hour later, Datou left the northwest and began to search the northeastern area. At this time, Scarab rushed over with Wan Xiaotang and others. Scarab must have told Wan Xiaotang and others about the current situation on the way. Everyone was unanimous at this moment. The face was tense and desperate. "There is a fire well down here. You are blessed tonight." Zuo Dengfeng said to relieve everyone's psychological pressure. After years of dangerous training, he understood a truth, that is, the more critical a situation is, the less likely it is to panic. "Zhenren Zuo, how are you?" Wan Xiaotang came over and asked. "Qiu Muyu is checking, put everything down." Zuo Dengfeng pointed at the big head. "Found it, Master Zuo, come and take a look." At this moment, Datou, who was searching the northeastern area, turned around and shouted. "You guys stay where you are, I'll go over and take a look." Zuo Dengfeng greeted everyone, and then moved to Da Tou's side. "That's it, it has a slight reaction." Da Tou pointed at a barrel-shaped mold placed in the northeast corner. When Zuo Dengfeng heard this, he lowered his head and looked at the object in front of him. The object was about fifty centimeters in diameter and one and a half meters long. It was a clay mold. All molds are divided into two parts, and this mold was no exception. But at this time The two halves are put together. The utensils from the Shang and Zhou dynasties were of different sizes, with the large ones weighing a thousand kilograms. Judging from the mold in front of you, the utensils made after the meteorite was smelted were not very large. After looking at it for a moment, Zuo Dengfeng stretched out his hands and took apart the mold. He didn't expect that the inside of the mold was not completely hollow, nor was it an ordinary vessel shape, but had a strange half-spiral shape. "What did they build?" Datou frowned upon seeing this. "It should be something related to weapons." Zuo Dengfeng said doubtfully. The area on the west side is for casting daily utensils, and the area on the east side is for casting weapons. Since this mold appears on the east side, it means that it should be related to weapons. . "It doesn't really look like it." Datou quickly filtered eighteen kinds of weapons in his mind. ¡°It¡¯s not intuitive. Go out and find some ice cubes and come back.¡± Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand to Big Head. Hearing this, Datou immediately guessed Zuo Dengfeng¡¯s intention. He grabbed the giant ax and twisted his body to rush outwards. After a while, he carried back a piece of solid ice. The most indispensable thing in the Arctic region is ice and snow. Zuo Dengfeng fastened the mold and stood it upright, took out the Pure Yang Gauntlet from his arms, divided his hands into two tasks, melted the ice cubes with the Pure Yang Qi of his left hand, and shaped the ice water flowing into the mold with the Xuanyin Qi of his right hand. After the filling was completed, Zuo Dengfeng separated the mold and took out the object made of ice water solidified inside. "Spring, what are they making springs for?" At a glance, Zuo Dengfeng could tell that what Zuo Dengfeng was holding was a thick spring made of ice water. Zuo Dengfeng did not speak when he heard this. The thing in front of him was indeed a spring, and this spring looked very familiar to him. "Zhenren Zuo, can we get through?" Scarab shouted to Zuo Dengfeng. Hearing this, Zuo Dengfeng nodded slightly. Seeing this, everyone rushed forward and gathered around to look at the spring in Zuo Dengfeng's hand. "What are they making springs for?" "It's indeed a spring." "It's bigger than the recoil spring on our ship." Everyone was talking about this spring. "I seem to have seen this kind of spring somewhere."Dengfeng frowned and recalled. When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their attention from the spring to Zuo Dengfeng, and they all shut up, allowing Zuo Dengfeng to calmly recall. "I have seen this kind of spring in Jiang Ziya's tomb. There are two springs." After a while, Zuo Dengfeng recalled that the second mechanism of Jiang Ziya's tomb was an ejection stone ball. Two springs were used to power the huge stone ball. A thick red spring, its length and width exactly match the spring in front of you. "Ji Xian was around fifty years old when he rebelled, and over seventy years old when he died. This shows that they lived in the Arctic for twenty years. Twenty years later was the time when Jiang Ziya was about to die. In order to decorate the tomb He will most likely come to the North Pole to ask Ji Xian to help make special springs," Zuo Dengfeng analyzed with a frown. "Master Zuo, where are the two springs?" Everyone asked in unison. They didn't care about what happened that year, they only cared about the whereabouts of the metal. "I buried him"
