He only knew how to do things in a particularly clumsy way.
A relatively long vertical pipe, with a bowl in the middle, containing lit sulfur powder.
The sulfur dioxide produced would automatically descend.
Dissolve in water.
Form sulfuric acid.
In theory, he needed as much sulfur powder as the weight of the iron he wanted to produce.
But the iron content in the red clay was particularly low.
It was definitely very difficult to leach iron solution from it with sulfuric acid, and it wasted a lot of acid.
But he was almost going mad to obtain iron.
He had a lot of both acid and alkali.
Isn't it possible to at least make a needle?
At present, the sulfur mine and alkaline earth are of no use.
Then spend some time making a few needles.
With a needle, at least sewing clothes would be much more convenient.
He found it amusing whenever he thought of what he was doing.
It's probably the dumbest way in the world to obtain iron.
