After trading iron ore with the Bamboo Rat Tribe leader, Jiang Xuan checked the other stones accumulated by the Bamboo Rat Tribe, but unfortunately, he could not find coal.
However, this was to be expected. It's unlikely for a small tribe like the Bamboo Rat Tribe to conveniently have both types of ore.
Even so, Jiang Xuan was already very pleased to have obtained iron ore smoothly.
He eagerly instructed the warriors of the Vine Tribe to load the iron ore onto the ship and urged the Bamboo Rat Tribe to mine more iron ore in the future, then set sail with Jing Jie and others.
Back at the new territory, Jiang Xuan could not wait to start trying iron smelting.
Iron smelting is not significantly different from copper smelting, except that the temperature required for iron smelting is higher than that for copper smelting.
Therefore, the first step in iron smelting is to construct a tall furnace.
