Lu Fan transmigrated into a parallel world where Earth's resources are depleted. At a critical moment, the Dao Wilderness Survival System descended. Each country selects three representatives t...
The next day, Lu Fan started working at the shelter early in the morning.
His plan for today is to upgrade his equipment.
Lu Fan knew that in order to survive better in this dangerous wilderness, he needed to have more powerful weapons.
He turned his attention to the iron ore he had brought back earlier. Unlike the iron sand he had previously brought, the iron ore had a very high iron content, enough to support him in forging more powerful weapons.
To realize this plan, Lu Fan first set about preparing the crucial fuel – charcoal.
He chose a spacious and sheltered spot near the camp and dug a deep pit.
Then, they plunged into the dense forest to carefully select wood suitable for making charcoal.
He specifically chooses trees with hard texture and fine grain, such as oak and birch.
After felling each tree, he would cut it to the appropriate length on the spot and then laboriously drag it back to the pit in the camp.
Live broadcast room.
Good morning, everyone.
"What is the great god Lu Fan preparing to do this time? It looks like he's going to make quite a splash."
"With so many pits and firewood, are you going to make venison in a pit?"
"You upstairs are a devil! That's a partner! If it's true, please send me a piece to try, Lu Fan."
After gathering all the timber, Lu carefully stacked them layer by layer in the pit, creating a neat pile of wood.
On top of the woodpile, he wove a simple covering out of branches and leaves.
It can prevent a large amount of outside air from entering, and also allow the smoke produced by incomplete combustion inside to be discharged smoothly.
Next, he lit a small pile of dry thatch and sawdust at the bottom of the pit, and the flames spread quickly, licking at the wood at the bottom of the pile.
As the fire grew larger, Lu Fan kept a close eye on the heat, constantly adjusting the position of the wood with branches to ensure that every part was heated evenly.
The whole process was long and tedious. The scorching flames burned his cheeks, and sweat kept dripping from his forehead and back, soaking his clothes.
But he remained steadfastly by his side, his eyes fixed on the pit, not daring to slacken his vigilance for a moment.
"What's going on here? Are they having a bonfire party?"
"They're not really going to make venison, are they?!"
At this moment, Zhao Hangjun explained with a smile: "Judging from Lu Fanquan's hand movements, he should be preparing to fire some charcoal. Whether it is firing pottery or ironware, charcoal is very important."
After a whole morning of burning, as the fire gradually subsided, the wood in the pit turned into black charcoal.
Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile of satisfaction spreading across his face. He carefully brushed away the ash covering the charcoal, carefully removing the burnt pieces and neatly stacking them aside for later use.
With a sufficient supply of charcoal, Lu Fan began to build the iron smelting furnace.
This is a big undertaking; the previous furnace was too small.
He built a sturdy stove next to the shelter using stones and clay, leaving a vent at the bottom of the stove to connect to a bellows carefully made of bamboo tubes.
It still uses the molten iron casting and forging method, but this time Lu Fan is better prepared.
This time, he chose to use clay as the base material to make the mold.
Lu Fan used a dagger to carve the wood into the weapon he wanted to forge.
Then press it into the clay, remove the mold, leaving the groove.
Once everything was ready, he placed the iron ore in the center of the stove and piled charcoal around it.
Then, he lit the stove, gripped the bellows lever with both hands, and began to rhythmically blow air.
As the bellows pumped, air poured into the stove, instantly igniting the charcoal fire.
The charcoal burned brightly, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime.
Under high temperatures, the iron ore gradually softens and melts, turning into molten iron that slowly flows out.
Lu Fan quickly picked up the prepared mold and carefully poured the molten iron into it.
Wait for the molten iron to solidify.
The outline of a large knife appeared before his eyes, and Lu Fan quickly used a wooden stick to pick it up and put it into the water in the bamboo tube.
"Hiss~"
The aroma is overwhelming... no, it's filled with swirling smoke. This step is quenching, which makes the metal harder and more resilient.
Lu Fan picked up the knife. Although the blade was rough, it already had a sharp edge.
Not satisfied, Lu Fan then used the remaining molten iron to cast dozens of iron arrowheads.
He even cast a trident.
After all of them were quenched, Lu Fan put them on a stone to grind.
After meticulous carving, the broadsword gleamed with a cold light, incredibly sharp; the iron arrowheads were exceptionally sharp, exuding a deadly aura.
Lu Fan then took the trident and carefully polished it, before inserting a pearl into the pre-drilled hole between the blade and the shaft.
"That's amazing! The sword looks deadly. People in Japan would love it."
"This time, we've completely upgraded our equipment."
"I like that trident; it looks like a work of art."
"We must strengthen Poseidon!!"
Lu Fan held the trident, fiddling with it from side to side. He admitted that this trident truly ignited his inner chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).
Some people might think that this trident is not very practical, since Lu Fan has a broadsword for close combat and a bow and arrow for ranged attacks.
Moreover, a trident weighs four or five pounds, making it very difficult to throw it and hit a target.
But don't forget that Lu Fan's body has been enhanced, so throwing a four- or five-pound trident is a piece of cake for him.
After doing all this, Lu Fan wanted to open a coconut, only to find that there were no coconuts left.
Even with fresh water available, who can resist a drink every day?
"Big Horn, let's go pick some coconuts."
Lu Fan led Big Horn out of the shed and placed two baskets on its back.
Then the person and the deer walked towards the sea.
After several hours of trekking, a coconut grove came into view.
Tall coconut trees stood tall, their dense branches swaying in the breeze, with plump coconuts hanging from the branches, as if beckoning to Lu Fan.
There weren't many coconuts left, after all, they couldn't withstand Lu Fan coming every day.
"Then let's pick them all at once." Lu Fan put his hand to his forehead and looked at the coconuts on the tree.
He came to a coconut tree, looked up and carefully examined the trunk, looking for the best place to climb.
The coconut tree wasn't very thick, but its trunk was straight and smooth. Fortunately, there were leaf scars every so often, which provided him with some footholds.
After his physical condition improved, climbing trees became even easier, and he reached the top of the tree in no time.
"Lu Fan is getting more and more agile."
"He's even more agile than a monkey."
"Of course, after all, this is how we make a living."
Lu Fan pulled out an axe and swung it at the joint.
The coconut fell straight down, startling the big horn that was grazing with its head down.
Under Lu Fan's axe attack, the coconuts were quickly reduced to almost nothing.
As he chopped down the last coconut, the announcement rang out.
