Yun Yi took the refined Iron Ingots out of the Furnace and placed them on the Crafting Table to combine them. After crafting Iron Blocks, he stored them in the chest strapped to the dog's back. Next, he tossed the remaining iron ore into the Furnace for smelting. Once again, he performed the same operation: all the iron ore was transformed into Iron Blocks and stored in the chest on the dog's back.
In the end, Yun Yi filled fifteen yellow backpack-shaped chests with these Iron Blocks, totaling over twenty-six thousand standard-sized Iron Blocks. Considering that the density of iron is one ton per cubic meter, this smelting operation was roughly equivalent to two hundred thousand tons of steel. What does this concept even mean?
In China's thousands of years of feudal society, even on the eve of industrialization, steel production barely reached ten thousand tons. This means that during the period when industrialization was propelled by various reforms, the average steel output still did not surpass what Yun Yi could refine in a short time, leaving him in awe.
If the resources and abilities from "Minecraft" could manifest in reality, it would be like having a cheat code! Fortunately, this power was in the hands of a civilized person like him. After putting away the Iron Blocks, he used the remaining five yellow backpacks to fill them with coal bricks. The total amount was not much, around eight thousand six hundred and forty pieces.
Now, Yun Yi seemed to have developed a sense of numbness towards such quantities; several thousand coal bricks no longer felt significant. If all these coal bricks were turned into energy torches, they could produce over three hundred thousand such devices, enough to illuminate an entire expanse of land.
Once the chests were filled, Yun Yi issued commands to all the dogs around him, instructing them to return to the base closely following him. As for the three hundred Furnaces, they could quietly remain where they were. When the iron resources ran out again...
Perhaps there would still be an opportunity to return here to continue mining and refining iron ore.
Leaving the underground mine, Yun Yi carefully filled in the previously excavated tunnel entrance and took out a map to confirm the direction. He swiftly moved along the path he had come, leading twenty pack dogs loaded with goods.
In just over half an hour, Yun Yi returned to the camp where Guan Yu was located. At that moment, Guan Yu was holding an ancient scroll made of bamboo strips, engrossed in reading.
Although Cai Lun had improved the papermaking process during the Han Dynasty under Emperor He Liu Xi (around AD 100), producing thicker and more durable Caihou Paper, and despite the widespread adoption of paper during the late Eastern Han period over several decades, bamboo books and wooden slips still held a significant place in usage until the end of the Han Dynasty.
This was partly due to the fact that transportation and information exchange in ancient times were not as convenient as in modern society. Additionally, some regions still possessed papermaking techniques and preferred to use bamboo slips or wooden slips for recording information.
