s. Once finished, they went over all the details together to make sure the wood was securely fastened to the cart.

Shen Teng said with satisfaction: “It looks like everything is ready. The wooden cart is strong and stable, and the wood is safely fixed on it. Now we can start to pull them away.” Xu Jiuguang walked to Shen Teng and

encouraged Said: “Shen Teng, we will transport the wood to the designated location according to the predetermined route. We will drive carefully to ensure the safety of the wood.” Teacher He also echoed: “Yes, we will try our best to ensure safety

during transportation.” Shen Teng, you take the lead, and we will follow you.”

Shen Teng nodded excitedly: “Okay, let’s go! Cai Xukun, Jia Lin, follow me and make sure the wood stays firmly on the wooden cart.”

Cai Xukun and Jia Lin immediately walked to the wooden cart, holding the frame of the wooden cart with one hand and holding the rope tightly with the other. They keep their eyes on the wood, ready to stabilize the wood and ensure it reaches its destination safely.

Jia Lin said firmly: “We will take good care of these timbers and make sure they are safe. Let’s start transporting them!”

Shen Teng, Cai Xukun and Jia Lin started the wooden cart together and began to move forward slowly. The wheels of the wooden cart rolled on the ground, making a low rumble. They completed this task by driving carefully, keeping an eye on the condition of the timbers and making sure they remained securely on the cart.

As the wooden cart moves, they gradually blend into the surrounding environment. The trees swayed quietly and the birds sang happily on the branches. The breeze blew across their faces, taking away their sweat and giving them cool comfort.

In the first step, Xu Jiuguang, Cai Xukun, Jia Lin and Shen Teng came to the ditch in Qingshan Village. Sunlight shines on them through the blue sky, illuminating the entire work area. The breeze ruffled their hair, bringing a refreshing scent.

Xu Jiuguang picked up a saw and looked at the wood intently. He accurately measured and marked the required dimensions, and then used the saw to cut the wood vigorously, making a crisp sawing sound. Cai Xukun picked up a hammer and a mortise and tenon planer to trim the sawn wood into a smooth surface. Sawdust flew in the air, accompanying their determined and powerful movements.

At the same time, Jia Lin and Shen Teng began to make mortises and tenons together. Jia Lin holds a mortise and tenon plane and carefully cuts out the exact shape of the mortise and tenon on the wooden board. She controls the strength and direction of the plane to ensure every cut is accurate. Shen Teng watched carefully to ensure that the size and depth of the mortise matched the tenon perfectly. They work together in perfect harmony and complete each mortise and tenon cut with concentration and precision.

Afterwards, Shen Teng and Jia Lin tried fitting the prepared tenons and mortises. They gently inserted the tenon into the mortise and felt the fit. Their eyes are focused and serious, making sure that the tenons are firmly embedded in the grooves without any looseness. If there was any mismatch or looseness, they stopped immediately and reshaped the mortise until the tenon fit snugly into it.

Next, Xu Jiuguang and Cai Xukun joined the reinforcement work. They picked up lumber and hammers and began making the mortise-and-tenon frame. Xu Jiuguang sawed the wood into appropriate sizes, while Cai Xukun used skilled skills to join the wood together with a hammer. They held the wood tightly and hammered hard to make sure every joint was tight. Their movements were powerful and determined, demonstrating their skill as carpenters.

Afterwards, Shen Teng and Jia Lin connected the made frame to the wooden planks of the water channel. They insert the tenons into their corresponding mortises and tap lightly to make sure they fit together tightly. The hammering sound echoed in the work area, calm and regular. Every connection point is carefully inspected by them to ensure the stability and reliability of the mortise and tenon structure.

As the work progresses, team members continue to improve the reinforcement of the water channel. They used hammers and nails to fasten the boards securely to the frame, ensuring that every part of the ditch was tight, strong and durable. Their movements became more and more skillful, fast and precise, as if they were dancing to a carpenter’s music.

Finally, Xu Jiuguang and Cai Xukun carefully checked the stability and quality of the entire reinforced structure. They bent down and carefully looked at each connection point to make sure nothing was loose or defective in any way. They tapped the wood with their hands, listening for the reverberating sound to judge the structure’s stability. If necessary, they will make minor adjustments and corrections to ensure the channel’s stability and durability.

Throughout the entire process, team members cooperated with each other and completed each step with superb skills and focused attitude. Their conversation revealed their love for carpentry craftsmanship and their dedication to their work. The reinforcement work of the ditch was gradually coming to an end, and their sense of accomplishment and satisfaction spread in their hearts.

Chapter 79 Forging Iron Blocks

Xu Jiuguang decided to use tools to forge steel and create a water storage device. He began to prepare the tools and materials needed, including hammers, iron blocks, furnaces, and molds.

First, he put the iron block into the furnace, lit the fire, and waited for the iron block to gradually heat and melt. The fire in the furnace burns brightly, heating the iron to a high temperature, causing it to gradually become liquid.

When the iron block was completely melted into liquid iron, Xu Jiuguang took out a pre-prepared mold. This mold is made of high temperature resistant material and has the shape and size of the required water storage device.

Xu Jiuguang carefully placed the mold on a stable workbench and ensured it was level. Next, he pours the molten iron into the mold slowly and evenly to fill the entire cavity. The molten iron makes a hissing sound as it flows into the mold, gradually filling every detail and corner.

Once the molten iron fills the mold, Xu Jiuguang waits for a moment to allow the iron to gradually cool and solidify. He knew that iron would not achieve its desired strength and shape until it was completely cooled.

While waiting, he continued to observe the iron in the mold. As the iron begins to cool, it gradually changes from a fiery orange-red color to a dark red and black color. This is a sign that the iron block has solidified.

When Xu Jiuguang was sure that the iron block had completely cooled, he gently tapped the mold to separate it from the iron block. He carefully took out the iron block from the mold and held it in his hand, feeling its cold touch.

Now, Xu Jiuguang picked up the hammer and placed the iron block on the solid workbench. He was ready to begin the forging and shaping process.

He grasped the handle of the hammer tightly, raised his arm, and accurately aimed the hammer head at a part of the iron block. Then, he hit the iron block hard, giving an even and powerful impact.

Each hammer blow is powerful, causing the iron block to gradually change its shape.

Xu Jiuguang stood in the center of his spacious and bright forging room, with sunlight streaming in through the large windows, illuminating everything. The air is filled with a faint metallic smell, intertwined with the passionate sound of iron collisions.

Wearing work clothes, he holds a hammer in his hand and stares at the iron block on the workbench. The curved shapes and irregular surfaces on the iron block are the creative medium of his art. He closed his eyes, feeling the atmosphere of the forging room, pre
