When the limp covered the last piece of animal skin from the inside to the newly opened hole, and nailed it with copper nails once, the end of this big problem was declared.
"call!"
Lamely pushing the handle of the cork to push the cork forward. After the air is squeezed, it blows away the animal skin covering the first hole, and the air flows out from there.
At the same time, the airflow generated by pushing the wooden handle blows the animal skin nailed to the inside of the second hole tightly on the wooden board, completely blocking the second hole, and no airflow runs out from here.
"call!"
With force on the lame arm, he pulled the cork back to the end.
As he pulled, the animal skin covering the first hole was firmly sucked on the board, and no air flow came in from there.
At the same time, the animal skin covering the inside of the second hole opened up, and the outside air flowed in from the opened hole.
In such a scene, Heiwa smiled all over his face, his face was a little red, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands back and forth together.
Limp knew what Heiwa most wanted to do at this time, so after only pushing and pulling a few times, he simply handed the wooden handle to Heiwa.
Heiwa replaced the lame position. After receiving the wooden handle from the lame hand, he couldn't wait to push and pull up. As he pushed and pulled, his face became more and more ruddy, as if he had drunk wine, with the excitement. Don't mention it.
With the wooden bellows made by Lame, Heiwa gave up his plan to make a bellows out of pottery.
Because after comparison, he found that wood is undoubtedly more suitable for this thing.
Of course, the piece made by Lame now cannot be used directly, because it is only a test product, small in size, not enough wind can be generated, and there are still many imperfections.
However, after overcoming these technical difficulties, there is no difficulty in creating a large bellows, but it's just a drawing of a gourd.
Of course, the gourd is still in Jinguan City, and they have not seen the lame yet, but this does not prevent them from having this skill.
As the lameness began to get busy, the sound of clanging, saws sawing wood, and planes scraping boards again rang in the carpenter's room.
Time passed quietly between these noises, leaving scraps and sawdust from the ground, but at the same time, a large bellows also appeared in the carpenter's room.
Compared with the small experimental bellows before, this bellows, which is several sizes larger, has undergone many changes.
For example, there is only one hole for air out, but the size is big, and two holes for air in.
But the two holes are not as big as the one used to vent.
This is because the pressure is too high when pushing the air out, and the animal skin is relatively soft, and the hole is too large to easily push the animal skin out of the hole.
On the side where the bellows handle exists, a wooden board is also installed to seal the entire bellows.
Of course, there are holes for the handle on the wooden piston to move.
At the same time, the handles installed on the wooden piston have changed from the original one to the current two.
This is because in the process of pushing and pulling, Lame and Heiwa discovered that only one handle was installed in the center of the wooden piston. When pushing and pulling, the wooden piston would easily become skewed.
There is no such trouble if you install the two handles up and down.
In order to facilitate pushing and pulling by hand, a short wooden handle suitable for pushing and pulling by hand is installed at the end of the two handles exposed outside the bellows, and the two wooden handles are connected together.
In addition, the wooden piston in the bellows has also been modified compared to before.
The wooden pistons before were made purely of wood, but today the wooden pistons are covered with a layer of smooth leather without hair.
This is mainly because during the push and pull process, Heiwa and Limp found that a simple wooden piston could not completely block the gap between the wooden piston and the inner wall of the bellows.
The existence of these gaps makes when pushing the wooden piston down, a lot of wind will run up through the gap.
If the wind runs from here, the wind going out from the opening below will decrease a lot.
After wrapping with such a layer of animal skin, this problem was greatly resolved.
Although it is impossible to plug all the gaps and prevent a trace of wind from running up here, after such an operation, the wind running up is reduced a lot...
Outside the Green Bird Tribe, a huge wooden bellows was pushed and pulled unceasingly, making a whirring sound.
With the sound of the whistling sound, the flames in the kiln continued to rise. Even if the weather is cold now, you will still feel panicked when you approach here.
Compared with the simple wind grunt made by Han Cheng before, this closed wind box is undoubtedly more convenient and easy to use.
Heiwa used his hand to hold the handle of the bellows wooden piston, pushing and pulling unceasingly, sending bursts of air into the stove.
In this freezing weather, sweat was flowing out of his forehead.
Heiwa didn't care about this, she just pulled the bellows again and again, sending gusts of wind to the bottom of the kiln, just wanting to make the fire in the kiln burn more vigorously, seemingly tired.
Looking at the blazing flame, Heiwa’s heart also burned...
The breathing bellows stopped breathing, and the flame gradually became smaller until it went out.
The red hot coal gradually became dim, and there was no light, and some whitish gray appeared on it.
With the passage of time, the hot coal has also lost its temperature, and the underside of the warm stove slowly becomes cold.
A lot of people gathered around the kiln, including Wu and Big Brother.
Everyone looked at the kiln that didn't have much temperature, and then looked at the black baby standing on the side, all of them were expecting and worried.
Heiwa's mood was even more excited. He had opened the kiln many times on weekdays, and at this time he felt like he could not start.
He shook his palm vigorously, took a deep breath, and went to open the kiln.
Following his movements, the closed kiln door was opened, and small dust flew out from inside, revealing some whiteness.
Heiwa put her hand into the kiln that didn't have much temperature, touched the utensil closest to the edge, and took it out.
Heiwa's heart couldn't help beating fiercely when the finger touched the uppermost instrument.
Because the feeling from my fingertips is different from the pottery I have touched in the past.
Even glazed pottery does not have this smooth feeling.
He endured his excitement and carefully took his hand out of the kiln mouth.
Everyone's eyes fell on it.
Although they had not seen porcelain before, but at this time, after seeing the cup taken out of the kiln by the black baby, everyone immediately confirmed that this is the porcelain that the child said!
Because this cup looks so good! beautiful!
Completely compared the pottery that already existed in the tribe.
This is a qualitative leap. This leap is so huge that it can be distinguished by just a glance.
Earlier, when I heard the son of God, everyone thought that the porcelain was very good. At this time, when I saw this piece of porcelain that was just out of the kiln, everyone discovered that this porcelain was even more exquisite than what the son of God said before!
Heiwa was holding this cup in both hands, and there was something called intoxication in her eyes.
He watched carefully, not daring to make too much movement, worried that this exquisite thing would be damaged by accident.
The eyes of the other people also gathered in Heiwa's hands, full of amazement.
It became extremely quiet for a while, and some people even forgot to breathe.
"Let, let me see..."
After this silence continued for a while, the witch's voice sounded, shaking slightly.
Heiwa just woke up like a dream, hurriedly holding the porcelain in her hand, appeared to be cautiously beside Wu, and carefully handed the porcelain in her hand to Wu's hand.
Wu took the porcelain that seemed to exude some luster, took it in his hand and carefully looked at it, and his muddy eyes became especially bright at this time.
The rough fingers couldn't help rubbing gently on it, reluctant to let go for a while.
Heiwa stood here and watched for a while, and realized that there was still in the kiln.
The others also gathered around.
A big white bowl, the whole body is smooth and round, and it seems to be shining under the sunlight.
A small spoon, also extremely smooth, looked at it for a while in the sunlight, it seemed that there was some transparency...
As Heiwa moved cautiously, pieces of porcelain made from kaolin were taken out of it.
I flicked it hard with my hand, and there was a nice sound, which was very pleasant.
However, compared with the fired pottery, the yield of this porcelain is lower. In ten pieces, it can be almost three or four pieces, and most of the rest are broken.
But even this is enough to please Heiwa and the rest of the Qingque tribe.
People with higher status in the tribe can take a close look at a piece of porcelain in their hands, while those with lower status can look carefully at a piece of broken porcelain alone.
Porcelain is not only beautiful and shiny, but the texture is also very hard. Some of the broken parts have relatively thin notches, and they can even be used to cut meat.
The exquisiteness of the porcelain is beyond the imagination of all people in the tribe, and everyone even feels that such things can only be offered carefully, and it is a sin to use them for food.
Some people like Wu even felt that such things could be passed on from generation to generation as a treasure.
This mentality is actually caused by the fact that the number of porcelain in the tribe is too small, and the people in the tribe are the first to see porcelain.
When the number of porcelain fired in the tribe gradually increased, and everyone gradually became accustomed to the existence of pottery, it would be better.
Because of the appearance of pottery that was so exquisite that it could not be described in words, the Qingque tribe was in a state of excitement and joy for a while.
The witch has taken the exquisite porcelain and placed it on the stone table in front of the totem pole more than once, wanting the great gods to also look at this exquisite thing.
In fact, rather than showing it to the gods, Wu wanted to tell the son far away in Jinguan City the first time this good news, so that the son knew that the tribe had already fired porcelain according to his instructions.
It’s just that the son is not in the tribe now, and Jinguan City is too far away from the main tribe, and it’s inconvenient to pass messages to each other, so the witch has to pin his hopes on the very cold god, wanting to hear him talk. The of heaven, telling this very good news to the son far away in Jinguan City knows...
In the pottery workshop, Heiwa and some other pottery people used kaolin to make mud embryos here like chicken blood.
They want to burn more exquisite and unusual porcelain, so that all citizens of the tribe can eat with exquisite porcelain bowls.
At the same time, I also want to use this exquisite porcelain to exchange a lot of food and other things from the rest of the tribe.
Before the pottery can be exchanged for many things from other tribes, now this is not known how much more exquisite porcelain than pottery, there must be many more things in exchange!
Just think about how many porcelain bowls can be burnt in one kiln in your own tribe~EbookFREE.me~ All of the food or other things collected by the other tribes for a long time will be exchanged for black. They couldn't help being excited.
This excitement is even stronger than being able to make the porcelain itself.
Because of the existence of Han Cheng, an unscrupulous son, primitive people who were originally simple and simple in thinking are now not as simple as before...
Through the previous manufacturing and firing, Heiwa and the others have discovered some tips for making mud embryos with kaolin.
For example, it is very difficult to make the mud embryo as thin as possible, such as making large pieces of porcelain.
As they continued to work, mud embryos made of kaolin began to appear.
Some people are still using tools to scrape off some excess material on the dried mud embryos, so that the mud embryos become more smooth and tangible.
When enough of these mud embryos are made in one batch, a kiln will be opened to burn a batch.
Heiwa has never been absent during firing.
He has been paying attention to all aspects of the situation, and recorded it in a small notebook according to the method that the son of God once explained before, so that it is convenient to check and find out the shortcomings in the future.
During the busy schedule, time passed quietly, and after dark clouds covered the sky, the cold and dry weather was finally over temporarily.
The whistle wind didn't blow, and there were snow particles falling from the air, slamming on the ground and rolling.
But when there are more snow particles, the latecomers can't move.
After the snow grains spread a layer of impure white on the ground, the snowflakes also fall.
When there was heavy snow falling on the Green Bird Tribe, there was still sunshine here in Jinguan City in the south...
