Chapter 630 Bronze Plow Appearance

The distant mountains are withered and yellow, dotted with white dots, which are snow that has not melted, and it looks like a witch's hair.

At the quarry, the wind whirled and turned, pouring gusts of wind into the boiler through the clay pot, blowing the charcoal fire, making it burn more vigorously.

Red fire, white air, and busy people are surging in the early spring when the ice and snow have not completely melted, making this season that has not yet fully warmed up full of vitality in advance.

"Open the furnace!"

The second senior brother, who had turned from a blacksmith to a coppersmith, yelled, and the idlers around him went to the side to make an open space, so as not to be accidentally injured by the high-temperature copper water.

Seeing everyone get out of the way, the second senior brother, who had successfully lost weight, scooped up the viscous copper juice with a special earthenware spoon, put it on the mud form where only a small hole was left, tilted it, and put it The copper juice is poured in along the hole.

The strong second senior brother had a steady hand, and a spoonful of copper juice was poured in along the hole, rarely spilled, which was much better than that of Han Cheng at the beginning.

Hei Wa's eyes widened, and her hands unconsciously clenched the animal skin she was wearing.

Spoonfuls of copper juice were poured down, and thirteen of the fourteen model plowshares placed here were poured with copper juice.

The reason why the remaining one will not be filled is because the copper juice in the furnace is not enough to fill a clay pan, if it is poured in, a clay pan will be wasted in vain.

It is not easy to make such a clay fan, so naturally, one less waste is one less waste.

However, the remaining copper juice did not allow it to cool down like this, but used them to pour out two small copper knives.

"Kach~"

After this combination, only one hole is left to pour bronze juice inside. Compared with a single mold, it is not only troublesome to manufacture, but basically cannot be reused.

If you want to take out the solidified bronze ware, there is no other way to use it, but to break the outer mold and the inner mold.

It hurts to break the mold that has been made so hard, but Heiwa didn't have much soft hands when she picked it up. When she picked it up and threw it on the ground, the outer layer of the bronze plowshare that was poured first collapsed. up.

A piece of yellow light was revealed among the mud flakes flying randomly.

Hei Wa quickly found a small crowbar made of bronze,

Poke off the sticky piece of mud that refuses to leave, and a plowshare that is a circle larger than the palm of an ordinary person appears in his hand.

The plowshares are shiny yellow, which is really beautiful, and it doesn't look like there are many flaws.

"Son of God!"

After looking at it for a while, Hei Wa held the plowshare that he had finally got out, ran to Han Cheng excitedly, and showed it to Han Cheng as if offering a treasure, cheerfully like a child.

With a smile on his face, Han Cheng took the long and hard-won plowshare from Heiwa's hand, held it in his hand and watched it carefully.

Compared with the iron plowshares that he saw in later generations that were whitened by the mud, the bronze plowshare in his hand was much rougher.

And in terms of size and weight, they couldn't keep up with those iron plowshares he saw in later generations.

The reason why the plowshares are cast so small is that on the one hand, the bronze is relatively brittle, and if the cast is too large, it is easy to be damaged when plowing the land.

On the other hand, the deer in the tribe are weak, and the plowshares are too big, so the deer can't pull them.

When Han Cheng was looking at the plowshares, Wu and others here also gathered here. They have all experienced the ease of using deer to plow the land and bronze wares.

Combining the two now, the effect is exciting to think about.

Everyone can't wait to put this bronze plowshare on the plow now, and then lead the deer to plow the field and see for themselves how effective this thing is.

"OK!"

Compared with the iron plowshares of later generations, the plowshare in the hand is rough and simple, but it lacks everything a plowshare should have.

There is no problem in using it to cultivate land.

After looking carefully for a while, Han Cheng laughed out loud, then stretched out his hand and patted Hei Wa's shoulder with an expectant face, admiring him sincerely.

Hei Wa, who was already in a good mood, became even better after being praised by Han Cheng, even more beautiful than eating braised pork.

Then there was a crackling sound.

This is where the remaining twelve paragons are all smashed.

There were thirteen plowshares in total, and there was one defective product among them.

The reason for the defect is that when the second senior brother poured the bronze into this model, the spoon was not full for the first time, and the second spoon was continued.

Metal liquids such as copper juice solidified quickly, and this short delay caused a fault to appear on the bronze plowshare.

Han Cheng held it in his hand and looked at it, then knocked hard on the stone, and the bronze plowshare was broken in two immediately.

Of course, the cast bronze plowshares were reluctant to be thrown away. When the next pot of copper smelting was made, they would be put into the furnace and melted together with the rest before being used again.

"Puff puff……"

In the few houses of the Qingque tribe without a Kang, there were some people around. The carpenter was lame, and he was chopping at the bottom of the wooden plow with an ax in his hand.

After cutting for a period of time, I picked up the plowshare at hand and put it on it for comparison, to see where it didn't fit, I took the plowshare off it, and then continued to rest.

"Dangdangdang..."

After some rest, the lower end of the wooden plow finally fits better with the plowshare, so Lai put the wooden plow on the ground, let the lower end of the wooden plow face up, and put the plowshare on it.

Later, I found a wooden plank with one hand and put it on the plowshare, and with the other hand, I took an ax and aimed at the wooden plank and smashed it down.

The reason why a wooden board is placed on it is because the wooden board is relatively soft, and it is used as a buffer in the middle, which can protect the bronze plowshare from being smashed by the iron ax to the greatest extent.

After more than a dozen axes went down in succession, the plowshare was tightly set on the wood.

After lifting the wooden plow and putting it away, Han Cheng held the handle of the plow and felt it for a while, then nodded with satisfaction.

Crude, of course, is still crude, but after putting on the bronze plowshare, the plow looks more decent immediately.

Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and even plows can be decorated with metal.

After waiting for a while, get out the bronze plowboard, stick it on the plowshare, and after fixing it, the plow will become more decent.

Once a plowshare is set up, someone can't wait to see the effect.

Without the plow wall, the soil plowed by the plow will not run to one side, and the effect of the plow is not very good. Han Cheng didn't want to carry the plow to the ground at this time, and wanted to finish the plow wall. , I used a complete plow to do the experiment, but when I looked up, I saw expectant eyes all around me, and I nodded in agreement after thinking about it.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he really wanted to see the effect of the bronze plow.
