Hearing the three words Azure glaze, Hao Shuang's first reaction in his mind was the popular lyrics of the previous Dong Chou: Azure is waiting for the smoke and rain, and I am waiting for you.

As a student majoring in ceramics, even if Hao Shuang is no longer interested in ancient Chinese porcelain, it is impossible not to understand the azure glaze of Ru kiln.

In the minds of Chinese ancient ceramics researchers, it is unanimously believed that the porcelain-making process of the Northern Song Dynasty is the most pinnacle and extreme era in the history of Chinese ceramics, and the porcelain fired at any of the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty during this period, "Ru kiln, Jun kiln, Guan kiln, Ge kiln, and Ding kiln", can form an absolute crushing of the porcelain of any ancient kiln in China.

Among the five famous kilns, Ru kiln beats the other four famous kilns with an absolute advantage, known as "the first celadon first, Ru kiln is the best".

Because the Ru kiln was specifically responsible for firing imperial porcelain for the court, its porcelain-making process was naturally the ultimate at that time. However, Ru kiln firing is only more than 20 years, and the output is extremely rare, so in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Ru porcelain is a rare thing hidden in the palace, and now it is considered a rare treasure, and all the museum collections in the world add up to only sixty-seven and a half pieces.

So at this time, when he heard that the art ceramics workshop of Tianyang Special Pottery Factory was able to produce imitation Ru kiln azure glaze products, Hao Shuang was naturally unable to suppress the shock in his heart, and asked: "Director Sun, when did the art ceramics workshop of your factory study the firing formula of Ru kiln azure glaze?"

"That's a long story. Sun Guishan replied, "Since the 70s, the art ceramics workshop of our factory has been comparing the azure glazed porcelain tiles of the Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln in Baofeng Qingliang Temple to study the formula of azure glaze. ”

"After countless attempts, it was not until 1984 that we found a raw material formula that was close to the Ru kiln azure glaze. After many adjustments to the mud, glaze and firing process in this formula, last year we finally produced an imitation azure-like glaze product that is completely consistent with the appearance of Ru kiln azure glaze, and the chemical composition and physical and chemical properties are basically the same. ”

"In January this year, the imitation Ru kiln azure glaze products produced in the art ceramics workshop of our factory officially passed the expert appraisal organized by the Ministry of Light Industry and began mass production. This time, our factory director Shi went to the capital to participate in the first national light industry export products exhibition, mainly to promote our factory's imitation Ru kiln azure glaze products. And Professor Zhu Gu Jifu also got to know Director Shi precisely because he visited the imitation Ru kiln azure glaze products at the booth of our factory. ”

I see!

Hao Shuang nodded.

He was now 100% sure that this pig-stock Jifu was definitely ill-intentioned.

In terms of stealing the secret recipes of traditional Chinese crafts, Neon Country has a lesson from the past.

The thing that Hao Shuang remembers most clearly is that the secret recipe of Huaxia Xuan paper was stolen by the Neon Kingdom in the previous life.

During the war of aggression against China, the neon country stole part of the rice paper manufacturing process, and after it was transmitted to China, it began to produce rice paper on a large scale, and even exported it to foreign countries. However, due to the lack of mastery of the core formula of rice paper manufacturing, although the output of rice paper produced by Neon Country far exceeds that of Huaxia, the quality is not comparable to Huaxia Xuan Paper at all, so Neon National Xuan Paper manufacturers have been looking for opportunities to prepare to steal the core formula of Huaxia Xuan Paper manufacturing.

After decades of patient waiting, they finally got their chance. China began to reform and open its doors to welcome guests from all over the world.

Because they have not opened the door to communicate with the outside world for too long, the Chinese people, including local officials and business leaders in China, have no concept of trade secrets in their minds.

So the rice paper manufacturing companies in the neon country were very clever to seize this opportunity and steal the core secrets of the rice paper manufacturing process they lacked from the country of Huaxia.

There are two theories about how the industrial spies of the neon national rice paper manufacturing company stole the core manufacturing process of rice paper.

The first is in the early nineties, when the Neon Nation industrial spy disguised himself as a buyer and inadvertently bent over the ingredient pool while visiting the rice paper mill, allowing the tip of his tie to touch the liquid in the ingredient pool. After returning home, Neon Kingdom mastered the core formula of Huaxia Xuan paper manufacturing by analyzing the liquid samples on the tie.

Although Hao Shuang is a layman for rice paper manufacturing, he still scoffs at this statement.

Because Hao Shuang does not understand the manufacture of rice paper, but he is a master of ceramic technology, and there is also a mud ingredient pool in ceramic production, and it is impossible to say that it is absolutely impossible to reverse reason the composition of the mud through the mud in the ingredient pool, but the possibility is very small.

Even in the 21st century, when the level of scientific and technological instruments is highly developed, Hao Shuang does not dare to guarantee that after he gets the samples of the mud pool, he will be able to accurately restore all the raw material ratios in the mud pool.

Compared with the first one, which has a strong legendary overtone, Hao Shuang believes in the second one.

The second theory is that in the early 90s, the neon national rice paper manufacturer disguised himself as a merchant to inspect the manufacturer of rice paper. Local officials, the person in charge of the rice paper mill and the technicians accompanied the whole process, and explained in detail every process of rice paper manufacturing to the Neon State Industrial Spy, basically knowing everything, saying everything, answering all questions, and even telling the Neon State Industrial Spy in detail about the concentration of alkaline water and temperature control of the cooking material.

As a result, the core secret of Huaxia Xuan Paper was obtained by the industrial spies of the Neon State without much effort. After they returned to China, they used these core secrets to quickly improve their production technology, and soon succeeded in producing products with quality that could be completely comparable to traditional Chinese rice paper, and occupied the high-end rice paper market that was originally occupied by Huaxia Guoxuan paper enterprises in one fell swoop.

And at the moment, Pig Stock Jifu obviously has the same idea, and is ready to take the opportunity of visiting the art ceramics workshop of Tianyang Special Pottery Factory to steal the product formula of imitation Ru kiln azure glaze that the art ceramics workshop of the Special Pottery Factory has worked so hard to study.

But Hao Shuang is not good at saying this to Sun Guishan. The so-called shallow words, once he said it, maybe Sun Guishan thought that he was jealous of the pig stock Jifu and robbed him of the opportunity to make money, and deliberately slandered the pig stock Jifu!

Jifu is a professor at Yamagata University in Neon Country, an authority on the research of polymer materials, and will come to steal the formula of imitation Ru kiln azure glaze? It's a joke, right?

Hao Shuang pondered for a while, and then said: "Director Sun, do you think this is good? Isn't the pig stock Jifu still in the capital, and it will take some time to get to your factory, so I will take advantage of this time to try the production of the porcelain support shaft device." If I debug the low-temperature sintering scheme of the porcelain support shaft device before the arrival of Professor Inogu, it will be very good; if it is not debugged, I will withdraw after the arrival of Professor Inogu Chef and let Professor Piggyew take over the project, what do you think?"

"Your suggestion is very good, but it's too late!" Sun Guishan shook his head, "Professor Pig Stock Jifu is coming over soon?"

"Coming over soon?" Hao Shuang asked in surprise.

"That's right, Professor Zhugu Jifu got on the train in the capital with Director Shi in the early hours of this morning, and they will arrive at Tianyang Station at half past eight. Why else am I dressed so neatly? Just to go to the train station to meet Professor Pig Giff!"
