The flames in the blacksmith shop burned for several days. Before that, Yanzai asked Xiongtao where he found the kaolin clay, and of course the source of the materials Xi Zhong found for making glass for Yijun.
After trekking for a few days, everyone came back and found that there were many people gathered around the blacksmith shop. Of course, they were all the big guys who had nothing to do, such as the teacher Qiao Song, old Mr. Wu Pan, Prince Changqin, and even The old patriarch....
There are also some friends who have returned from hunting, and some tribesmen who are resting idle.
Human nature is to join in the fun, not to mention such a big thing happened a few days ago. New special pottery was released. The guys in the blacksmith shop have never let the tribe down.
When Yu Zai took a closer look, it turned out that it was the first glass product that looked like it had been freshly baked.
The process of glass blowing is to make the glass easier to shape and deform, not to say that it must be done to make glass. Glass blowing was fully mastered around the Northern Wei Dynasty, at least during this period it was widely popularized throughout the world. Of course, These turbid things have a better name than glass.
That is Liuli.
The sword of King Goujian of Yue had these glasses, which were used for decoration. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, glass products had spread all over the world, and the activity of making glass beads had already begun during the Warring States Period.
Of course, the ancient Egyptians took longer to play with glass beads, which fully proves that human beings are a bunch of fools who only know how to play with glass beads....
In a tomb in the Western Han Dynasty, a glass spear was even unearthed...
It’s really something only you can imagine that no craftsman can do.
Without blowing, if you make it casually, the finished product will most likely be the product of the "evil god" created by Yijun. Yuzai is a little confused after looking at it. What the hell is this...
"It's really difficult to bake this thing. Fortunately, I'm one of the rare geniuses in the world, so I can control the heat perfectly. How about that, Ah Hong can't make this thing?"
Yijun looked at the red thing in front of him, and there were a lot of people watching here. Under the gaze of everyone, the glass vat that had not completely faded from the high temperature made the faces of these people shine red. of.
"Zhu Rong!"
Chisongzi glanced at Prince Changqin, and the little animals also stared with big eyes, very curious.
At this moment, when the high-temperature light has not dissipated, the first impact that pops up in people's minds is the word Zhu Rong, and Prince Changqin is no exception.
Fire brings hope and the future to the human race.
Bronze, pottery, lime....
Now, fire has once again created a miracle.
Compared with the previous Xishen product, this one obviously looks much better, but it doesn’t stop there.
"The casting of colored glaze requires a mold...it is best to blow..."
Yuzai said to himself that the glass casting molds during the Warring States Period were very simple, just ordinary inverted molds with a stone or something on top to suppress the liquid glass, and that would be enough...
As for glass blowing, it still requires dexterity.
Glass is something that can promote scientific and technological points, and it is necessary to set the right and wrong. In contrast, as for porcelain, temporarily removing the ginseng fruit does not seem to be of much use...
The value of anything should be estimated based on the current situation. The flood had just subsided, and Yu Zai estimated the time. From Xiang's mouth and Shi Jing's words, it can be inferred that Dahe will also be in trouble this year.
Gun's time for flood control had come. After nine years of failure, the river collapsed.
Therefore, the Central Plains should also have suffered disasters. Pottery is an indispensable thing for rebuilding homes, and the technology, kilns, and firing techniques required for porcelain are more troublesome. In the process of rebuilding homes, porcelain is not as popular as pottery.
However, the key point is that after production is resumed, the demand for porcelain will exceed that of pottery. The porcelain of this era is not exquisite blue and white porcelain. The function of original porcelain is the same as that of pottery. It is widely used for daily hoarding of supplies, construction, and sacrifices.
Primitive porcelain is only slightly more porcelain than stoneware. It has half a foot on the threshold of mature porcelain, but is as stubborn as a little girl. So don't think that primitive porcelain is blue and white porcelain. It’s a precious thing to grow. In fact, on the surface, this thing looks no different from clay pottery.
But the difference lies inside. Although primitive porcelain is primitive, it is much stronger and stronger than pottery, and most importantly, this thing is less water-penetrating than pottery.
Yu Zai thought about it for a while. Of course, good things must be made and made popular. Pottery is now about to evolve, and only when primitive porcelain is glazed can it be called porcelain. Glaze is easy to make, and the most important raw material is "chalk". That is to say, limestone. When Yuzai first came here, he bought a lot of it in Chaisang Mountain.
The function of glazing is not only beautiful! You know, if we take a chestnut, pottery is a warrior without clothes, primitive porcelain is a warrior wearing animal skins, and glaze is a warrior wearing armor.
"When productivity recovers, good pottery, no, original porcelain can be resold to the Central Plains, and it will definitely buy a lot of money. High-quality things are always popular..."
Agricultural industry is to produce demand, while commercial trade is to promote prosperity. Shennong already understood this truth 800 years ago.
Yu Zai was muttering in her heart and kept looking at Xiong Tao.
Yes, the tribe of this stinky boy Xiongtao is the famous Kongsang clan. It was the tribe that Emperor Shun helped when he went to make soy sauce. It is a tribe that specializes in the pottery industry. If this stinky boy succeeds in his studies, he can run away. If you go back, you will cut off your own sales.
"No, I have to find a way to make him repeat the grade."
Here, Yu Zai is thinking about how to become a black-hearted dean. Over there, several old gentlemen are holding pottery and beginning to recall their lost youth under the sunset.
"such a pity..."
Mr. Wu Pan held the original porcelain and said with emotion: "During the Yellow Emperor period, Ning Fengzi thought hard about making pottery, and finally it was reduced to ashes due to an accident. Maybe he wanted to make something like this, but At that time, the methods were still very primitive. If you rashly increase the divine fire, the final price would be extremely heavy."
Chi Songzi was also very emotional after hearing this.
Ning Fengzi was a famous fire practitioner who was named Tao Zheng under the Yellow Emperor. He wanted to improve the method of making pottery, but in the end he died due to an accident and was transformed into the flames. The smoke disappeared.
"That's a genius. What a pity..."
Seeing the current pottery and looking at Yijun who was sweating profusely, Wu Pan couldn't help but think that what Zeng Zanzai said was true. Sometimes it's not your peers who defeat you, but those who cross the border.
Although no one would rub nuclear bombs with their hands in ancient times, there were many production accidents, including poisoning incidents, medical problems, burning furnaces, and mine collapses...
Compared with the original porcelain, which is not very good-looking, the little animals are more interested in the glass thing. Guzi’s little eyes are wide open. Although the glass is turbid, its little head is instantly filled with splendor. color.
And those who saw everything here through a certain small animal were two Qi Practitioners from the South China Sea.
