five minutes later.
The flame rises.
The fire in the furnace gradually stabilized.
Seeing this, Lu Yu wiped his sweat and let out a long breath.
turned around and came to the hut first.
took three dried fish on the eaves.
Then went to the chicken coop and ordered a turkey.
Prepare to eat something during this time.
...
The kiln should be burnt through.
time is definitely not short.
If you are lucky, three or five hours.
But if something goes wrong in the middle, it is common to burn it all day and night.
"After the fire has stabilized, you don't have to keep watching, wait for it to self-extinguish and then proceed to the next step."
"It should be noted that the first time the kiln is burned, the temperature must not be low, and it must be burned through."
"So, it is best to observe every ten minutes, if the temperature is low, be sure to add wood in time, otherwise you may fall short."
"No surprises, tonight, we may be busy."
"Take advantage of the time to fill up your stomach before talking..."
Returning to the campfire with ingredients.
Lu Yu threw the dried fish directly into the fire.
Then, he picked a clean slate near the camp.
Wait until the egg is thoroughly heated.
leaned against a tree.
Lu Yu chatted with the audience while waiting for the dinner to come out.
went to the North Shore for such a day.
The food supply in the camp was almost consumed.
Except for three or five turkeys and the few dried fish that smelly, there is no other food to eat.
In addition.
Because of the cassava in the vegetable garden, it is not yet mature.
The carbon water of a garden is basically far from being hydrolyzed.
So, after the hut was renovated, Lu Yu had to embark on a journey of finding food.
But because of the professional hunting tools and food problems, Lu Yu was not too worried.
As long as it is not a large beast like an adult wild boar, the beautiful hunting in his hand should be able to come in handy.
...
after awhile.
Having finished dinner.
Lu Yu came to the kiln again.
looked inwards along the mud mouth of the kiln roof.
With the passage of time, the fire in the kiln became more and more prosperous.
Burning fireworks in the furnace.
The momentum is unabated.
is spraying through the honeycomb holes.
At this time, the temperature in the kiln has reached an unprecedented peak.
The color of the inner wall and the grate has appeared.
It's estimated that it won't take long before it should be completely burnt through.
At this time, the pottery that had been laid aside was almost dry.
is expected to be no later than ten o'clock tonight.
These semi-finished products can be put into the kiln.
...
While waiting for the fire to go out,
Lu Yu found a piece of clam shell that he had eaten before and polished the pottery.
"If conditions permit, it is best to polish the sun-dried pottery."
"Because the polished pottery, the surface will become smoother, tighter and more shiny, so as to avoid the problem of uneven heating."
"This is not a necessary step, but it can greatly improve the firing effect."
"Especially when burning pottery in the open air."
When burning pottery in the open air, the temperature is difficult to reach the standard because there is no shelter from the earthen kiln.
The surface of the clay often cracks.
At this time, you need a little blessing of external force to avoid this happening.
Polishing is one of them.
Don't underestimate this process.
Many times, it really makes it more effective.
quickly.
After polishing all the pottery on hand, the green smoke at the mouth of the kiln began to change from thick to light!
The firewood in the furnace was finally extinguished, leaving only a pile of red charcoal.
At this time, look at the grate and the inner wall again.
The color has long been unrecognizable.
texture is no longer soft.
became extremely hard.
is covered with a touch of luster.
"Well, it's almost burnt..."
"Look at the color of the inner wall, the temperature in the kiln should be up to the standard."
"Okay, next, it's the highlight tonight--"
said, Lu Yu turned around and put the prepared pottery, one by one, all on the grate.
Then, he held a lot of firewood, filled the furnace, and ignited it with fire.
The heating process of earthen kiln is very long.
takes at least an hour to reach its peak.
And during this period, in order to ensure the temperature in the kiln, from time to time, we must add some firewood to maintain the fire.
Because when firing clay, the temperature must not be lowered.
Otherwise, everything will be abandoned.
So, for the next few hours.
Lu Yu was not idle at all.
until late at night.
Finally, it was not considered until the pottery in the kiln was completely stabilized.
"The burned pottery can not be put into use immediately, it needs to be sealed in the kiln for a period of time."
Talking time, Lu Yu picked a lot of palm leaves from the woods and concealed the kiln mouth:
"Let's go to sleep first, it is estimated that when we wake up tomorrow morning, it should be almost the same."
"Well, everyone, today's live broadcast will come here first, don't go away, tomorrow will continue wonderfully..."
...
No words for a night.
Early the next morning.
In an instant.
As soon as the broadcast started, countless audiences stood in front of the screen, waiting for the landing feather to appear again!
quickly.
quarter past five.
Live broadcast officially opened.
After the screen shakes for a moment.
Fresh sunlight sprinkled down through the gap between the branches and leaves of the jungle.
left mottled all over.
ear.
Insect songbirds, one after another, are busy.
At this moment.
The lens turns:
A unkempt, primitive man covered with beards, suddenly broke into the picture.
At this time, he was holding a light brown earthenware pot with a gleaming light!
walked step by step to the riverside.
This guy suddenly crouched down.
In the babbling stream, scooped a large pot of clean water.
Until the subtitles of "The 42nd Day of the Desert Island Survival" completely disappeared, he pointed to the clay pot and greeted everyone:
"A new day again, everyone, good morning!"
The primitive people are not others, it is Lu Yu!
After saying hello.
Lu Yu remotely controlled the drone to point it at the clay pot at hand:
"Take a look, what is this--"
finished, he stretched out his finger and bounced twice on the clay pot.
The voice is ethereal and crisp.
Ding Ding Dong Dong, very nice!
Next second.
The barrage in the live broadcast room became lively at once.
A large and dense area:
"Lying trough! Was the anchor successful?"
"Awesome, my brother!"
"It looks like an artwork, so exquisite!"
"Feather God, really have you!"
"Only 666 can express my inner feelings!"
"A pick W pick outer ring scraping gift to the anchor 666×10!-so beautiful!"
"Initiate a fierce battle and even give yourself to the anchor fishball hundred combos!-Take it... Really start with a pair of hands, the equipment is all made by chanting?"
"I like the taste of Yushin's armpit and give it to the anchor plane × 10!-This anchor is really something..."
...
The earthenware pots presented in front of the camera are tightly integrated and seamless!
After firing.
Although the surface of the clay is not glazed.
But under the smelting of high temperature, a light brown halo was formed!
At this moment, as the lens moves slowly, the pottery jar is shining brightly in the sun.
showed the wonderful texture brought by this magical chemical reaction to the audience!
Thank you for your present.
Lu Yu paused and explained with a smile:
"Brothers, after several hours of firing, plus one night of cooling, my clay pot is finally out."
"How is it? Looking good?"
"The burnt earthenware is used to hold water. There is no problem at all. As long as it follows the normal process, it will not crack even if it is burned on the fire. It is very practical. With it, we will come to the river to take water later. It's much more convenient."
After speaking, Lu Yu secretly ordered the drone to point the camera at the pot.
Results.
as he said.
After firing, the pottery jar has been completely renovated.
becomes more dense and regular!
is definitely a rare survival utility!
here.
stared at the clay pot in front of him.
Lu Yu also repeatedly sighed:
"More than forty days, I finally have a decent artifact on hand..."
"From now on, we no longer need to drink raw water directly."
"Because of the clay pot, you can drink hot tea beautifully anytime, anywhere..."
did not finish a sentence.
Lu Yu suddenly turned around.
continued with regret:
"Overall, this time the pottery was fairly successful."
"However, due to insufficient space in the grate, a finished product was damaged during the cooling process. The only thing that came out of the kiln was a pot, a pot and a small pot."
"However, it does not matter, with these, it is enough for daily life. After all, it is not a professional clay kiln. The yield rate can reach this level, even if it passes. In addition, damaged pottery is not useless because it can also serve as The clinker is for our future use."
The so-called clinker.
is the fired finished mud.
The role of clinker.
cannot be underestimated.
It can greatly increase the firing power!
Crushing and clinker into the mud when making new pottery is tantamount to adding a insurance for firing!
can well avoid defective products!
"Therefore, it is best not to throw away these waste materials. Although they cannot be used directly, they can become a very high-quality raw material."
"Okay, now go home and continue our big project!"
After a few words with the audience, Lu Yu picked up the clay pot.
returned to the camp along Shunyuan Road.
When I arrived at the camp.
The time is only 6 o'clock in the morning.
Before officially starting to burn tiles.
Lu Yu went to investigate the clay kiln first.
Seeing that it had cooled down completely, I proceeded to do something else.
Comb your hair and wash your face.
Lu Yu picked some stones by the hut and surrounded a small and simple earthen stove,
Then put the pot on top, ready to burn some water first.
The same as Lu Yu said.
Clay pots are not afraid of fire.
heat transfer is also good.
It didn't take long for the water in the tank to start bubbling.
"666, I can really boil water!"
"With potter!"
"Magic!"
"Anchor is really amazing, with a pile of yellow mud, you can make such practical pottery!"
"Feather God, always drop God!"
...
burned water.
I ate.
Lu Yu stretched hard and came to the tile blanks.
After drying day and night.
Most of the tile blanks are almost air-dried.
The water evaporates just right.
Less than a dozen films still owe the fire.
But as long as there is another noon, there should be no major problems.
looked at it for a while.
Lu Yu picked up a tile casually and said to the camera:
"Friends, look."
"The tile blank, to this degree, you can enter the kiln."
"I roughly counted a total of 120 pieces... about 10 pieces can be burned in one furnace."
"In my experience, we should burn up to three or four furnaces a day, it should be at the top. One hundred or twenty tablets must be burned for at least two days and one night."
"Time is tight, tasks are heavy, let's work hard."
After talking, Lu Yu picked up the stone axe and went to the jungle to cut some firewood.
in case the emergency.
After half an hour.
Chopped the firewood.
Lu Yu started to clean the furnace.
Clean the carbon dust in order.
Leaves of ash and wood in the furnace are also rare raw materials.
upholds the principle of not wasting.
Lu Yu collected all the plants and ash and put them in the hut.
Although this thing is not rare.
But if you don't have it on hand when you are in a hurry, it's crazy enough.
So, stay where you can.
can come in handy without knowing when.
Clean the furnace.
Lu Yu carefully took ten tile blanks and put them on the grate in turn.
Then.
also left a certain gap between the tiles.
Facilitates the air flow and heats up in the kiln.
After a few minutes, the tiles were coded.
Lu Yu covered the kiln mouth with palm leaves.
smoothly took the fire in the campfire.
Lighted the new firewood placed in the four stoves in advance!
Only for a while.
bursts of smoke came out of the gap between the leaves, making the camp a mess.
lit the furnace
Lu Yu's next task is one word: wait.
But in fact, it is much easier to burn clay tiles than pottery.
After all, the tiles have a single shape.
As long as it is placed properly, there will be basically no uneven heating.
By contrast, the shapes of pots and other utensils are much more complicated.
Therefore, when firing, it is naturally not so easy to succeed.
However, even so, Lu Yu was fully budgeted.
When printing blanks, I intentionally made a few more pieces.
is afraid of accidents such as a blast furnace.
...
In order to properly store the burned tiles.
Waiting to leave the kiln, Lu Yu transformed the **** house in the camp.
added four main beams respectively.
Six beams.
At the same time, some palm leaves were used to enrich the roof.
Come and go.
The whole room is completely new.
became the upper and lower floors.
has a lot more space.
The next layer.
can be used to save firewood and the upper layer can just be used to lay mud tiles.
One house for two purposes.
Very practical.
The mud that has just been burned must not get wet.
also needs cooling.
Second, because the firing time is long and the span is large, no one can guarantee that the weather in the island will not be abnormal in the middle.
Therefore, it must be stored properly.
...
an hour.
passed quickly.
Created a new storage room.
The thick smoke at the entrance of the kiln gradually faded.
Seeing this.
Lu Yu smiled mysteriously at the audience, walked closer, and reached out to try on the wall of the kiln.
Ok.
The temperature is ok.
"It should be almost..."
"Let's see what's inside..."
talking.
He could not wait to open the palm leaves and opened the kiln mouth in one fell swoop.
narrowed his eyes and looked inwardly...
