132: Chapter 132 Possesses Iron Weapons!

Relocating the Monkey troop's Habitat was an easy task for the current An Ke.

He soon returned to the Camp.

After returning to the Camp, The monkeys were still digging the ground.

An Ke was in no hurry to build the reservoir.

He set about crafting a weapon—an axe.

Although An Ke had an "axe" before, it wasn't very refined.

It was called an axe, but in reality, it could only be considered a stone knife.

It was fine for chopping trees daily, but once used in battle, it wouldn't suffice.

Since he was going out to explore, danger would be unavoidable.

He had to craft a hard and durable weapon.

Therefore, An Ke planned to craft an iron axe!!!

Aside from mining, there were other ways to obtain iron in the wild, such as through adsorption.

Take a large amount of yellow clay, then add charcoal and stir thoroughly.

Then, mold it into mud balls and set them aside to dry.

Once dry, the mud balls are placed in high-temperature charcoal for calcination; finally, after crushing the charred yellow clay, iron can be obtained.

At first, the viewers in the live broadcast room didn't understand what An Ke was planning to do.

They thought he was making ceramics, but who makes ceramics by molding them into mud balls?

However, once the answer was revealed, the audience was collectively stunned.

"Holy crap!? Forgive my ignorance, but you can smelt iron from dirt??"

"Same here. I feel like my nine years of compulsory education were wasted."

"Even as a recommended student, I can't understand why iron can be smelted from yellow clay."

"University Student: This is magic!"

"To the person above, could you stop belittling us university students? We would only say this is the Pythagorean theorem."

"Isn't it the Tyndall effect?"

"You guys are killing me, you're all such geniuses."

"..."

In the program, Kang Hui saw that the audience had many doubts about An Ke's actions.

He couldn't help but look at Professor Wu and the other experts present.

"Professor Wu, Professor Zhao, could you explain to us why An Ke can extract iron from yellow clay?"

Professor Wu nodded slightly, "I know about this, of course."

"However, knowing is one thing; if it were me, I wouldn't be able to produce it like An Ke."

Professor Wu's words surprised the three hosts: Kang Hui, Sa Beining, and Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei asked curiously, "Professor Wu, why do you say that?"

"Because most of the time, due to fixed mindsets, people don't consider that yellow clay contains iron elements."

Coach Zhao answered on behalf of Professor Wu.

"An Ke's actions have surpassed many scholars and experts; in the wilderness, he is the true king."

"..."

Coach Zhao was not stingy with his praise for An Ke.

The other experts nearby felt the same, every single one of them admiring An Ke.

Generally, when refining iron, the first thing that comes to mind is iron ore.

But An Ke was able to think of the iron elements contained in yellow clay.

He used charcoal to react at high temperatures and then condensed the iron from the yellow clay.

Although only a small amount of iron can be condensed from each piece of yellow clay, it adds up.

With An Ke's current manpower and conditions, he could condense the iron needed to make a dagger and an axe in a few hours.

After listening to the commentary from Professor Wu, Coach Zhao, and the other experts...

An Ke's status in the hearts of Kang Hui, Sa Beining, Liu Yifei, and the others rose even higher.

"With a talent like An Ke in the Dragon Kingdom, the Dragon Kingdom is truly blessed with a lucky star."

Kang Hui gave a high evaluation.

Generally speaking, as a program broadcast nationwide...

Hosts wouldn't speak in such absolute terms.

But given An Ke's current achievements, Kang Hui had no such reservations.

Even if An Ke returned to reality now, he would be a great hero of the Dragon Kingdom.

In the broadcast, having obtained the iron, An Ke began placing it into a ceramic container to heat it.

He melted it into molten iron.

Finally, he used mud to create a mold and poured the molten iron onto it to shape it.

After cooling it with cold water, he repeated the process several times—heating and then rapidly cooling with cold water—to enhance the iron's toughness and strength.

The final step was grinding and sharpening the blade.

As for polishing, since there was no appropriate equipment, this step could be omitted entirely.

Finally, by just adding handles, he obtained an iron dagger and an iron axe.

An Ke held the dagger in one hand and the axe in the other.

He was very satisfied, feeling a great sense of security.

As the saying goes, all fear stems from insufficient firepower.

With two iron weapons, An Ke felt his combat power was off the charts.

At the same time, he tried swinging the axe, hacking forcefully at a wooden stake as thick as a thigh.

Nowadays, An Ke's strength was the greatest on the Blue Planet, enough to arm-wrestle animals like rhinos and elephants.

Thus, An Ke's axe blow smashed the wooden stake to pieces, with splinters flying everywhere.

The stake looked as if it had been hit by an explosive grenade.

This terrifying force shocked all the viewers in the live broadcast room.

"Holy crap!? Is Boss An even human?"

"This force is just too terrifying, isn't it?"

"It's nothing special, right? If I had an iron axe, I could do it too."

"Is the person above an internet keyboard warrior?"

"LMAO! If you're so capable, start a live stream offline; we'd love to see how you do it."

"As expected, typing doesn't require using one's brain."

"Any grenade with even slightly less power couldn't achieve the level of destruction Boss An did."

"..."

An Ke's single strike had turned the wooden stake into fragments.

No one could achieve this with human strength alone.

Even the foreigners couldn't find anything to criticize.

They were deeply shocked by An Ke's axe strike.

In the broadcast, the animals present were also shocked, or more accurately, frightened.

King Kong's fur stood on end, and he cried out that his heart couldn't take it.

Little Scar and the others' monkey eyes grew brighter, their admiration for An Ke deepening.

An Ke was their King.

The more powerful their King was, the happier they naturally were.

Old Crocodile was originally rinsing his mouth at the stream, trying to solve his bad breath problem.

When he witnessed An Ke's terrifying attack, he gasped.

He must definitely not provoke this young friend An Ke lightly.

Otherwise, his end would be even more miserable than being subjected to his wife's Death Roll.

An Ke himself was also quite surprised.

"I didn't expect my strength to have grown to this extent."

He felt like Captain America now.

In the future, when facing giants, he would be confident in killing them.

Without a hard shell comparable to steel, it would be almost impossible to withstand the attack of this axe.

Afterward, An Ke made some simple carrying tools.

He placed the dagger on his calf and tucked the axe into his waist.

This way, they were convenient to use at any time.

"King, could you also make weapons like these for us?"

Little Scar and the others crowded around, their faces full of envy.

Their current weapons were all wooden, and their power was too low.

When they dealt with Old Crocodile before, The monkeys' attacks only caused him minor injuries.

While it was fortunate that they didn't hurt Old Crocodile, it also showed that wooden weapons were inadequate.

If they wanted to play a role in future battles, they had to upgrade their equipment.
