Chapter 35: The Taste of Spring
Han Qiwu curiously approached the furnace, wanting to test how it worked.
[Please insert ores and coal]
[Using the furnace will consume one unit of coal each time, and the smelting time varies for different ores]
As the system prompt appeared, the furnace material submission interface also appeared in Han Qiwu's view.
Han Qiwu tried placing the copper ore from his inventory into the ore slot.
[Smelt copper ingot: Copper ore (1/5), Coal (1/1)]
[Insufficient materials, unable to smelt]
"So it takes five pieces of copper ore to make one ingot? And coal is required, too? Does that mean coal also has to be mined?" Han Qiwu felt a bit disappointed. He had no idea how to mine yet. Surely, he couldn't rely entirely on fishing treasure chests and digging up ancient plots for materials?
For now, the furnace would have to be taken home and displayed as decoration.
Honestly, the thing really had a bit of a steampunk vibe.
Before leaving, Han Qiwu glanced once more at the counter to see the price of upgrading tools.
