Chu Zihang smiled faintly while building up the soil.
Of course he didn’t just play mud with pigs and bamboo rats, he wasn’t that naive.
He just wanted to take advantage of the wet and soft soil after yesterday’s rain to start a big project and open a new technology tree!
He’s ready to make a kiln!
A ceramic kiln!
Evolution from the Stone Age to the Pottery Age.
After he has the ceramic kiln, he can carry out the base 2.0 plan to bring a wave of major updates to the furniture, kitchen utensils and tea sets at home.
By the way, you can also burn some adobe bricks, which can be used to pave the ground and build a house.
Although pottery can also be fired in the open air, the pottery fired in the open air is too low-end because it is not easy to control the temperature, the quality is not good, and the quality is far less than that of the earth kiln.
With bamboo rat dredging, pigs and mud, Chu Zihang can easily just build mud.
This squeezing is so light and easy that it is completely invisible, and even the pigs and bamboo rats happily thought they were playing.
It looks like an old capitalist!
Gradually, a trapezoidal cave dwelling was formed in Chu Zihang’s building, with a short front and a high back, which looked extremely strange.
Moreover, a row of large and small holes was dug out on the walls on both sides of this earthen kiln, which is even more incomprehensible.
The roof part has not been done for the time being because the wall is not dry and the strength is not enough.
“What, what kind of building is this?”
“The architecture of the Orientals is too strange, isn’t it?”
“Is this technology tree a little crooked?”
Don’t say that the foreigners are confused, even domestic netizens can’t understand what kind of building this is.
“What the hell is this thing? Why should it be 25 in front and 25 in height?”
“Is there a big hand to explain?”
Many people are powerful, and among the tens of millions of water friends, there are people from all walks of life.
Although the pottery pottery group has almost been lost, Chu Zihang’s live broadcast room is suitable for all ages, and many old men are also watching.
Nihuo Shengsheng: “This is an earth kiln! It seems that little friend slag is ready to burn a kiln. I didn’t expect that there are still young people who can burn a kiln. The old man is very pleased.”
“Turn kiln? Burning kiln?”
When everyone heard this slightly unfamiliar word, they couldn’t help but feel a lot of interest!
This is a traditional handicraft in the hot summer. The pottery and porcelain fired in the past are beautiful and durable, and they are also very charming.
However, due to cost issues, pottery has gradually been replaced by plastic products. Even the bowls used at home are industrial products, which are completely different from hand-made pottery.
In a word, no taste!
A lifetime of mud fire: “This is a traditional wedge-shaped kiln. There are three fire stages in a cave, and different stages are used to fire different pottery and porcelain.
You can see that the holes on the wall are called scaly holes. Some of them are the air outlet, the air inlet, the fire viewing port, the fire port, and the discharge port. Each has its own purpose and is very particular, which is related to the temperature control when burning the kiln. , can not tolerate sloppy.
However, today’s kilns already have intelligent temperature control methods, and few people know the details of this earth-making kiln.
The scumbag friend even knows this kind of details. It seems that he really has a lot of research on pottery burning. The old man is looking forward to his works very much now. ”
“pottery?”
The foreigners listened to the explanations of the translators, and also raised a strong interest.
Oriental porcelain is famous all over the world, and it is only used by the upper class nobles. Foreigners are very interested in this.
Chu Zihang took a look at the earth kiln and was ready to make some pottery embryos to dry before the earth kiln was formed.
After the wall is set, he can paste the roof on it for firing.
The first step in making pottery, of course, is to choose mud, and mud.
Pottery does not require too much mud, and any mud can be made.
But if you want to make high-quality pottery, it is best to choose clay and magnets, as the pottery produced in this way is more delicate and strong.
What Chu Zihang is going to use is the red clay he found at the foot of the mountain. This soil is fine and dense, just like the clay of the ancient Makou kiln. Good storage.
After choosing the clay, you need the clay.
It is to mix the muddy water into a slurry to remove impurities, leaving only the fine muddy water. After the muddy water is dry, the rest is the best clay.
“Bamboo rats, have you had enough of playing with the mud? Are you bored? Come and swim~!”
After Chu Zihang put the mud into the pool, he waved enthusiastically to the little bamboo rats, revealing his big white teeth!
“squeak–!”
Hearing the call, the little bamboo rats suddenly raised their heads, widened their eyes, and looked at Chu Zihang in surprise.
Can you still swim?
And such a good thing?
Big brother is too good to them!
Moving!
At this time, everyone has seen Chu Zihang’s purpose and cursed him as a traitor!
“???? Let my bamboo rat baby work again? Is there any reason for it!”
“Scum! It’s scum! Even the little bamboo rat is deceived. Can’t there be a little trust between humans and mice!”
“What about playing with mud? Is this playing? The little bamboo rat has been played with! Slag Master Iron Slag Man!”
“The profiteer! It’s so pitiful that the little bamboo rat was deceived!”
“It’s too miserable, the bamboo rats come back soon, don’t be squeezed anymore! He just wants you to go and mud!”
However, the little bamboo rats, regardless of whether they are dirty or not, whether they are working or not, jumped into the muddy water one by one excitedly screaming, and began to swim, playing very happily.
And Zhu Zhu was banned by Chu Zihang because he was too big, and made him feel wronged for a long time. . .
The next step is to prepare the pottery embryos.
There are generally two methods of making pottery embryos.
The simple one is the method of building mud strips, but the level of craftsmanship is not high, and the quality is not good.
The high quality is the pottery wheel pulling embryo method, and the pottery made is of high quality and exquisite.
But this method requires making a potter’s wheel first.
The method of making a pottery wheel is not difficult, just make a coaxial wheel and a turntable table.
Chu Zihang can even make a horse, so it shouldn’t be too easy.
This time he is going to make a spoked axle, which is light and hassle-free.
When Chu Zihang took out the wood and woodworking tools, netizens immediately came to the spirit!
“Come on, scum is going to be a carpenter again.”
“Looking forward, I don’t know what artifact the scum is going to do!”
“Foreigners are optimistic, our woodworking skills in hot summer are unmatched in the world.”
“Master scum, come up with something magical, and open the eyes of these hairy boys!”
Those old carpenters poured into the live broadcast room again, ready to see the master’s demeanor again.
“Looking forward to Master Chu’s masterpiece!”
The Palace Museum: “To carry forward the traditional craftsmanship of Yanxia, Master Chu is a role model for my generation! Salute to Master Chu!”
Lu Zhengyu: “Salute to Master Chu!”
Old carpenter: “Salute to Master Chu!”
When the foreigners were told this, the eyes of the people who had stayed up late at night were rejuvenated, and they stared at the screen.
Chu Zihang did not let everyone down either. His [Master Carpenter] skill was used, and he had a proper patriotic demeanor.
Cutting wood, chiseling wood, drilling wood.
The simplest woodworking life has turned into art in his hands, and people are addicted to it without realizing it.
Chu Zihang did every link carefully, and it didn’t take long for a spoked wheel to complete seven, seven, eight, eight in his hands.
This superb technique makes the foreigners become big turtles, and they can’t take their eyes off it.
There are woodworkers in every country, but they have never heard of woodworkers like this that don’t use nails and glue!
wrong!
Chu Zihang was working on the wheel when he suddenly thought of a key question.
If it is made into a sideways wheel, how does the wheel turn?
Does he have to push the wheel with his feet while pulling the embryo?
That won’t work!
It was tiring, not his job.
He also does pottery and plays with handmade materials.
As a result, Chu Zihang used his brains and decisively came up with a very good solution!
This method, even he himself is called a genius, kills two birds with one stone, it is simply too incomprehensible!
So he immediately started to modify the wheel, adding a ring of baffles to the outermost layer of the wheel, and a set of gears was specially made.
Afterwards, he put up a layer of wooden frame to fix the wheelbarrow.
After the work surface, axles, fixtures, and wheels were all completed, Chu Zihang began to assemble.
First of all, the work surface and the axle are connected, and the axle will drive the disc worktable to rotate, which in turn drives the pottery to rotate.
The power source of the axle comes from the wheel.
Usually the wheelbarrow is flat and uses the pedal spokes to provide the power source, but Chu Zihang erected the wheelbarrow and installed it on the wooden frame, which looks like a windmill!
“Windmill? Is the scumbag going to use the wind?”
Lu Zhengyu: “It’s not a windmill, it looks like a keel waterwheel. Master Chu should want to use water power to drive the wheel to turn and then drive the axle to turn. This is the wisdom of our ancient craftsmen.”
The old carpenter: “But the water power of the bamboo pipe is not enough, right? The keel waterwheel is best placed in the rapids of the river.”
Lu Zhengyu: “That’s right, it’s too slow, it’s better to just pedal. After all, making pottery is not like a juicer, and you have to keep your hands there. If it’s so slow, you’ll be exhausted. died.”
After the carpenters looked at the keel waterwheel composed of Chu Zihang, they talked a lot, and for a while they were not sure about its real purpose.
And after Chu Zihang finished the last step, he tried to turn it a bit, the effect was very good, and there was no other shortcomings except the effort.
Then he stood up, showing his big white teeth, and shouted to the little bamboo rats who were swimming freely:
“Come on! Bamboo rats, don’t swim like that. How boring? I made a big toy with you, come and play~~”
“Um?”
“Bamboo rat?”
“Toy?”
When everyone heard it, their brows suddenly wrinkled, and they felt that something was wrong. How could the scumbag be kind enough to make toys for bamboo rats?
The sun didn’t come out from the west today.
And isn’t he making pottery carts?
Pottery car!
right!
Pottery car!
Immediately, everyone realized that something was wrong, and their faces changed greatly!
“Dangerous! Dangerous! Dangerous! Dangerous! Dangerous! Dangerous!”
“Bamboo Rat Doomsday! Run!”
“It’s over, it’s over! Bamboo rat baby is going to be squeezed today, and there are not even bones left!”
“Scumbag, you are so cruel!”
“Down with the capitalists!”.
