Id love to see the math on the amount of iron in a person's blood, because I find it HIGHLY questionable that there's enough iron in only 300 people to make a full iron sword. I'm too lazy to do it myself though.
The numbers roughly check out. Not sure how much one can extract by just draining the blood though.
You're both in luck! Someone else linked to an article that breaks down how it could work in reality: https://startrek.website/comment/9430643
All three of you are in luck! Someone made a video attempting to actually forge a sword this way!: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
Gotta hide it better than that chief
What an awful video! You should be ashamed! I should be ashamed just for watching it!
It's a great video. My friends and I have watched it many times
