Chapter 35 Burning Pottery

Brothers Hua Mu and Huacao haven't left Lijia Village for the past few days, and they don't care about the affairs in the capital at all. It's a good day to be here to supervise and provide some technical support by the way.Because Xuanyuan Yun believed in Hua Mu's ability very much, he guessed that the pottery and porcelain made by this would set off waves like glass and be widely loved by everyone.So he sent some workers from his own private industry to learn how to do it, and Hua Mu's technical guidance directly took advantage of the two floors.

"Brother, do you think we should sell these patents directly to them when we leave?" Huacao remembered the layer of purified liquor she saw in the study, and the huge numbers on it could already form a golden mountain!The birth of these pottery and porcelain is still a two-layered layer, so you have to use gold to build a Himalayas, right? !

"What can I take with me if I sell it?" Hua Mu asked.

"..." Well, the time-space transfer machine really can't be taken away, at least taking those away will consume an astronomical amount of energy.

Now the quality of the clay cannot be guaranteed, so Hua Mu decided to fire simpler pottery first.After vacating a kiln for firing glass and making some minor changes, Hua Mu asked the workers to put the dried embryos into the kiln|cave next to each other.These craftsmen watched the mud they kneaded into the kiln with their eyes wide open. They had a feeling that they would be the ones who would witness the miracle!

Xuanyuan Yun also deliberately took time out, and even put the doll he made into the kiln with his own hands.After Hua Mu looked at the ugly appearance of the dried clay cup and didn't intend to burn it, she also put the embryo of the cup in it.It was still the same, a grand and solemn sacrifice, but this time Xuanyuan Yun didn't do it himself.With the closure of the kiln, everyone's eyes just looked at the embryos inside from the slowly closed gap, and their heartbeats also increased rapidly.

The bright red flame was like the emotions of everyone present, rising and rising continuously... When everyone didn't pay attention, Hua Mu took out the industrial thermometer in the laboratory, and measured the kiln after a while The temperature of the periphery and the flame.If there is a big change or deviates from the temperature of firing pottery, let someone deal with it immediately.The heat is as important as the mud used to make the embryos. If it is too low, the degree of firing will not be enough, and it will not be able to withstand high temperatures and falls; Come on, it will cost you.

During these two days and one night, most of them couldn't sleep. Even Hua Mu was a little excited. He changed from his usual leisurely and contented appearance, and his sleep time was shortened to the previous mode of going to work - going to bed late and waking up early.When it was almost time, Hua Mu made the workers ready to start the furnace, and everyone's hearts were suspended again.

The smoke flashed in, and streams of hot gas were constantly leaking out of the kiln, but everyone couldn't help it anymore, and when the temperature was bearable and no one would be hurt, they squinted their eyes to see clearly Inside the situation.

Exploded pictures, damaged yellow flakes, a gap, and all kinds of things that have been cracked are scattered in the place where all kinds of exquisite mud embryos were neatly placed.Everyone felt a chill.Does that mean it didn't work out?Even when Hua Mu could barely see the situation inside through the heat, she frowned slightly. The material is still not ready?Only Xuanyuan Yun didn't pay attention to other things, but judged the location of the embryo of the puppet he visited and the cup of Hua Mu, and ordered his men to take it out.

Only when the temperature dropped a little more did anyone dare to go in and take out the things one by one. Naturally, the doll and the cup were the first things to be taken out.Xuanyuan Yun's luck was quite good. The doll was fired very successfully. After the high temperature, the gaps between the original soil became smaller, the doll looked more compact, and the surface became smoother.

This puppet looks even a little more popular!As for Hua Mu's cup, the soil chosen was probably not very good, or it was uneven in thickness when he kneaded it. After the high temperature, it has cracked a few holes in the cup now, and it must not be able to hold water or something.After everything was taken out and placed on a flat place, Hua Mu led the craftsmen to inspect the pottery one at a time.

There are even some with poor stickiness. After such a long firing, they have turned into powder, mud powder, and the whole embryo was broken into slag and scattered on the ground during the process of just being moved out.After reading all the items, few of them are really usable. This is mostly due to the unqualified soil.Of course, some failures may be due to the poor craftsmanship of the people who made the clay embryos. For example, the bowl of flowers and plants has only one bottom left, but the same pile of clay was used to knead a plate, but it was fired very well. whole.

In view of this situation, Hua Mu asked the embryo makers who fired the successful objects to try again with the soil that failed.Only after this confirmation can it be determined that the soil can be used.Of course, in this round, the soil with better stickiness that can be fired into pottery was selected, and used to make embryos, ready to be fired into porcelain.

"These are made of clay?" Xuanyuan Yun murmured involuntarily, and the craftsmen behind him also nodded desperately, although they made it with their own hands, put it in with their own hands, watched the fire burn with their own eyes, and finally stared at the things to pick them up. It came out, but they still couldn't believe their eyes!Those things made of mud can actually boil water on fire!The water did not become cloudy or melted after filling it, and it can still boil water!

This is Huamu choosing a successful pottery like a large jar to boil water on the spot, and everyone's reaction is like this.However, Hua Mu continued: "This one can also stew, cook, and even stir-fry. But compared to metal pots, cooking is much slower. But it is no problem to hold soup and food."

"Then this pottery can replace metal kitchen utensils?" Xuanyuan Yun immediately thought of this question. The cost of metal is relatively high, so the price of household utensils is a huge investment for many people.If it is replaced by these soils, then...the most important point is that it is not good for people to have too many metal utensils, because these things can be melted and made into weapons at any time!

"In principle, it is possible. Although porcelain and pottery are similar, they are more resistant to high temperature, more beautiful, and more delicate. They can also be used in this way. Of course, this pottery and the porcelain that will be made can also be painted with some colored metals. I'm not good at pictures or something, I'm afraid I have to trouble the masters to think about it." Hua Mu said.

"...Hua Mu is really my lucky star!" Xuanyuan Yun said, calling her by his name directly.

Although not many firings were completely successful this time, the enthusiasm of these craftsmen still did not dissipate. In their hearts, this was considered very successful.So when I heard that Hua Mu was going to challenge the making of more delicate utensils with these clays, they all showed high enthusiasm.And some workers who have studied the color of metals also went to study the technology of how to add metal pigments to the soil.

Xuanyuan Yun quietly put away the puppet he made himself, and the cracked pottery cup from Hua Mu's hands.

The author has something to say: I have been on a business trip for the past few days, and I took advantage of my free time to post a chapter... The update will be a bit confusing, I hope everyone will forgive me.

If there is no update at 8 o'clock, it means that there will be no new chapters today, I hope you don't wait.Thank you for your great support!
