"It's not hot." Jin Tong then handed the item to Si Yan.
Si Yan was a little excited when she took the charcoal. She broke the charcoal apart and saw the charcoal core inside, which was completely carbonized.
"We did it!!" Si Yan exclaimed excitedly.
Tyson, Golden Boy, and Grey Bird all gathered around.
The dry logs have now turned into charcoal!
The gray bird asked, "Sage Si Yan, what is this you're making?"
Si Yan said, "This is charcoal."
Gray Bird: "Charcoal? Wood turning black makes charcoal? What's it used for?"
Si Yan explained, "Charcoal burns longer than wood, and it has fewer impurities, so it produces less smoke when burned. Most importantly, it burns at a very high temperature."
The gray bird feigned exaggerated surprise. "Really?!"
Although most orcs in the Beast World do not use fire, and even consider fire to be sacred.
However, the wise men of the City of Beasts know how to use fire.
Grey lorikeets also often use wood for burning, but wood produces a lot of smoke and burns very quickly, so they can only choose to burn it outdoors.
He thought this was an unsolvable problem.
I never expected Si Yan to create something like this.
Si Yan nodded. "If we make enough charcoal and store it properly, we won't need to go out to find wood so often in winter. Also, the amount of smoke that gets into the cave when burning it will be greatly reduced. However, we still need to be careful about the harmful gases produced when burning charcoal indoors, so we'll still need to build a chimney."
The gray bird was overjoyed: "This is good stuff, this is really good stuff!"
The orcs who had traveled from afar heard their words clearly and exclaimed excitedly, "As expected of a wise man, he can even control fire!"
"The Wise Graybird has already begun popularizing the use of fire in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. Don't you know how?"
"We're so afraid of fire, how could we possibly..."
"What will you do in winter? Without a fire, it's so cold, and the food will freeze solid. How will you eat it?"
"Winter... we just have to tough it out."
"What if you can't endure it?"
"If you can't survive... you'll die."
"Fire isn't as terrible as you all think. You should spend your time learning how to use fire in Beast City. At least it will save a lot of orcs from dying in winter."
