Chapter 76: The Magical Ice Making Process

“I want to see how you did it, and when I learn it, I can do it myself.”

Zhang Zifeng said with joy.

“Then you follow.”

It’s not a precious craft, Zhang Zifeng is willing to learn, Wu Tianyi will naturally not refuse.

“I want to see it too.”

“I also need to go.”

In order to get a bite of ice on this hot day, several big stars can’t even take care of the fatigue.

“If you want to follow, just follow.”

Wu Tianyi took a few big stars to the direction of the water pool.

“What are you doing?”

Seeing Wu Tianyi stopped and started smashing rocks with engineer shovel, several big stars were very puzzled.

“Brother Tianyi, aren’t we going to find ice? Is there ice in this stone?”

Zhang Zifeng thought of a possibility and said in surprise.

“Silly sister, how can there be ice in the stone.”

Peng Peng said amused.

“There is really ice in the stone.”

Looking at the white crystal knocked out of the mountain wall, Wu Tianyi laughed.

With saltpeter, ice making is not a simple matter.

“Ice? Where is ice?”

Zhang Zifeng leaned over and looked at the hole that Wu Tianyi had dug out. There was no ice at all.

“You’ll find out later.”

Wu Tianyi chiseled out those saltpeters hard and filled two big baskets.

“Peng Peng, do you have any strength? Put a basket on your back and go back.”

He pointed to a smaller basket and motioned to Peng Peng.

“This strength is still there.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Peng Peng took a big breath and lifted the basket back, flushing, and dragging heavy steps back, step by step.

Seeing that he could hold it, Wu Tianyi put his heart down, picked up the larger basket, and caught up with him with a calm expression.

“Wu Tianyi, I suspect that what you are carrying is foam, so you can’t breathe a little breath for such a heavy thing?”

Fatty picked up a piece of saltpetre in the basket and weighed it, stiffly.

The saltpeter in the whole basket adds up, I’m afraid it weighs two to three hundred catties.

“This stone is nothing to me.”

The total weight of his armed forces is dozens of kilograms, which is his daily weight before.

After systematic physical strengthening, Wu Tianyi felt that it would be no problem to walk four or five hundred jin on his back for a day.

Several big stars looked at him with the eyes of monsters, and felt that the name of the king of soldiers was really not an illusion.

“You go and seal the mung bean soup in the pot with a small bamboo tube, and then fill the big bamboo tube with water.”

Back in the cave, Wu Tianyi instructed several people.

He himself began to knock pieces of saltpeter into powder.

“Everything is ready, what else?”

Several big stars don’t know how Wu Tianyi is going to make ice, and they all look forward to his next move.

“Next, is the moment to witness the miracle.”

Wu Tianyi poured a large handful of white powder into the big bamboo tube, and then put the small bamboo tube filled with mung bean soup.

Then, he used a stone to press the small bamboo tube on the bottom of the big bamboo tube.

“It’s over? Where’s the ice?”

Zhang Zifeng stared at the bamboo tube for several minutes, but did not see where there was ice.

“What’s the hurry, I’ll have it later.”

The melting of saltpeter is a slow process, and there is no rush.

“There is air-conditioning, I feel the air-conditioning inside!”

In order to witness the miracle in Wu Tianyi’s mouth, the curious Fatty grabbed the edge of the big bamboo tube with his hand, resting his head on it and staring at the inside of the bamboo tube.

Because of this, she immediately felt the cold air escaping from the bamboo tube.

“Air conditioning?”

Several big stars all learned Fat Di’s appearance and felt it by lying next to the big bamboo tube.

“It’s really air-conditioned, the temperature is obviously much lower than other places.”

Xiaoju stroked the cold wall of the bamboo tube, feeling very strange.

“Master, you don’t want to sell it, what’s the matter?”

Asked Peng Peng, who was eager for knowledge.

“This white powder is saltpeter. When it melts, it absorbs a lot of heat, so it can naturally cool down.”

Wu Tianyi pointed to the pile of saltpeters left in the basket and said.

“Melting and endothermic is also physical knowledge, why can’t I think of it?”

“You are not alone. I never thought that the knowledge I learned could be used in life.”

“I have a bold idea to make ice directly from saltpeter, not even the refrigerator.”

“Upstairs, you still don’t want to be clever. The efficiency of saltpeter making ice can kill you. Brother Bing uses this method because of limited conditions.”

“Mung bean ice is ready, waiting to be eaten with Bing brother.”
