Chapter 377: Building a Tile Mold, Making a Billet with Your Bare Hands!(4k, Ask for Subscription!)
Compared to thatched houses.
The living experience of the tiled house is significantly better.
Comfortable, warm, safe.
The tiles have been fired and have a fine texture.
Won't rot.
It also does not deteriorate.
Secondly, because of the long repair cycle, it can greatly save resources and labor costs!
If in the wilderness, own a tiled hut.
Then there is no need to worry about shelters again.
As Lu Yu said.
Even in extreme weather, it can help you get a good night's sleep!
Now.
In the live broadcast room.
Lu Yu's explanation instantly aroused the curiosity of the audience!
Everyone can't wait to see for themselves how the legendary tiled house was built.
"I feel that the anchor is good 6, there is nothing he won't!"
"The desert island contractor is online?"
"Dragon Quest!"
"There's something about this streamer!"
"Looking forward to it!GKD!"
"It should be interesting, the anchor hurry up!"
Throw away the mud in your hands.
Lu Yu motioned for everyone to be calm.
Firing tiles is a big job.
Everything has to be considered in the long run.
"Don't worry, everyone, let's fill our stomachs first, and then get a good night's sleep, and when we have enough energy, we will start this matter. ”
"Honestly, it's a really good start...... I never thought that the water source we have been to countless times would still hide such a treasure......"
"As I said before, the origins of Olidia Island are very different from those of ordinary Pacific islands. ”
"The tensile stresses of the lithospheric plates on the seafloor squeeze out new crust for the interior of the islands. ”
"The so-called new crust, which is weathered by the Pacific trade winds, will completely fragment, resulting in a loosely weathered crust that allows the island to preserve its parent soil. ”
Therefrom.
It can be concluded.
The variety of soil on the island is much richer than that of the volcanic coral island!
It's not uncommon to encounter rare clay here.
Clay by the river.
The texture is not bad.
As far as firing clay pottery is concerned.
Totally sufficient.
These clays are formed by silicate minerals after weathering at the surface.
White and fire-resistant.
It is mostly found deep in the ore seam of the water source.
Sticky.
Contains less sand.
During the firing process, it is not easy for water to pass through it.
The chance of frying the kiln is small.
The yield rate will naturally come up.
So.
No matter how you look at it.
These clays are rare and high-quality raw materials.
......
The location of the soil extraction point was noted.
Lu Yu didn't say anything more.
Pick up the bamboo tube.
Prepare to return to camp first.
After you have eaten and drunk enough, you will study the tile making matter.
I learned that Lu Yu was going to build a tile house with his own hands.
The enthusiasm of the audience was very high.
But at this moment, there are still many viewers who are full of doubts.
thinks that without professional tools, Lu Yu will not be able to succeed.
In order to dispel the doubts in their hearts.
Lu Yu said as he walked:
"From the civilization of dwelling in caves to building simple shelters, the primitive ancestors spent tens of thousands of years. ”
"I have to say that it is undoubtedly a very long process. ”
But from the point of view of the development of civilization, this is by no means impossible. ”
"About 1.7 million years to 700,000 years ago, in the time of the Yuanmou people, people began to use fire, and the roasted earth or clay would become hard, which inspired them to discover pottery and tiles. ”
"The feat of firing clay has opened a new page in the use of nature, the transformation of nature, and the struggle against nature, and it is a very powerful technological revolution in the history of human social development. ”
"Although the raw materials of ancient pottery are coarse, the shape is simple, and the firing temperature is low, after all, this is an attempt by human beings to use chemical changes to make utensils, and its invention has greatly improved the quality of life of primitive ancestors. ”
"In the age of obscurantism, people were able to make such an attempt, which is not difficult for modern people with more advanced concepts of survival, even if we don't have common sense, we know that pottery is made by fire. ”
"That's right, knowing it, it's enough. ”
......
Talk along the way.
When you arrive at the camp.
The dusk of the island is just around the corner.
Light in the jungle.
Before I knew it, it was darkened.
After arriving at the place.
While there was still light, Lu Yu didn't even dare to breathe, so he began to make drill plates and drill pipes.
Prepare to light the fire first.
No stone knives.
The work has become much more difficult.
Holding a heavy stone axe to chop and chop, Lu Yu worked for more than half an hour before he was done.
And wait until the ember trough emerges from the sparks.
Night has also crept in.
Raise a bonfire.
Lu Yu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and posed as if his body had been hollowed out:
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools......"
"The stone knife is not sharp enough, but it is also a handy tool. ”
"Without it, even the simplest fetch of fire would have become extremely difficult. If we have time these days, we have to try to do it again, otherwise, it will be too hard to work. ”
Half an hour later.
The bonfire was rekindled.
After resting for a while, Lu Yu took the opportunity to kill another turkey and made a roast chicken feast for himself.
Sleeping in the open for days.
Leads to a huge physical exertion.
Supplies can't keep up.
The oil and water in my stomach have long been gone.
A wave of energy is urgently needed with high-quality protein and fat.
As a result, this large roast chicken with golden color and rich nutrition has unsurprisingly become Lu Yu's appetizer.
It took less than fifteen minutes.
The original fat roast chicken is only a pile of clean chicken bones......
Dinner was eaten.
Lu Yu had a brief chat with the audience about tomorrow's plans.
Then he fell asleep on the bed.
I slept soundly.
It wasn't until eight o'clock the next morning that the guy opened his sleepy eyes.
Coming to the island for so many days.
Lu Yu starts broadcasting on time every day.
But today I was unprecedentedly late......
After struggling to start the live broadcast, looking at the screen full of "late", Lu Yu smiled bitterly to defend himself:
"Excuse me, everybody. ”
"Today, I've kept you waiting. ”
"It's rare to get a good night's sleep. ”
"So...... Okay, brothers, a new day has begun, and after a few meals, let's go to yesterday's dirt collection point to get some clay and come back to add to our hut!"
After tidying up your personal hygiene.
Lu Yu casually picked up a slate and fried a turkey egg for himself.
Let's be honest.
The taste is a bit hard to describe.
The taste is completely different from that of eggs.
It's not good or bad.
But it's not unpleasant either.
Ten minutes later.
Finish breakfast.
Lu Yu first found a few bamboo strips from the firewood house and simply repaired the broken rucksack before leaving the camp and heading to the district soil site.
In order to cover the roof of a thatched hut with tiles, at least 100 tiles are required.
In addition, the kiln and blast system for firing tiles also need to be used.
Therefore, before and after, Lu Yu made a total of four round-trips between the camp and the soil collection point.
It took more than an hour of busy work before it came to an end.
At noon, Lu Yu took a nap in the hut.
Wait until the sun is not so big, then get up and start to work on the billet.
The first process of firing tiles is to make the tiles.
Billet making, in fact, is to pour the clay with moderate wet and dry into a tile mold and process it into tiles.
It is then dried to remove moisture and turn it into a finished product suitable for firing in the kiln.
"All right, brothers. ”
"With raw materials, our first task now is to make billets, and the finished tiles need to be dried for a long time to remove excess moisture, so we can save a lot of time by making billets first and then setting up kilns. ”
The roof frame of the hut has a lot of beams.
Therefore, before making the billet, it is necessary to determine the format of the tile.
In this way, the tiles can be matched to the roof.
Taking into account the stability of the roof structure and the way the tiles are installed.
In the end, Lu Yu decided to make the tile into a shape about 30 cm long and 15 cm wide, with a round hole and a tenon at the top that the rope could pass through.
Round holes allow the rope to pass through and facilitate connection to the keel on the frame.
The protruding tenon can also play a fixed role.
Let each tile be honestly fixed to the wooden rafters.
It can not only share a part of the weight for the keel, but also provide a double insurance for the tile.
If it is not an irresistible factor, even if there is a level 8 gale, there will be no collapse of the house.
While speaking, Lu Yu shared his billet making ideas with the audience one by one, and immediately took action.
"Before making the billet, we also need a tool, and that is the tile mold. ”
"The tile mold can greatly improve the work efficiency, and at the same time, it will also make the fired tiles have the same shape and the same appearance. Don't be stupid to pinch them one by one, it's too time-consuming, and the most important thing is that it's thankless. ”
As he spoke, Lu Yu turned out a thin bamboo billet of more than one meter from the firewood.
This bamboo billet is leftover from the previous weaving basket, and now it can come in handy.
"The production of tile molds is also very simple, it doesn't have to be bamboo, ordinary branches can also be competent, as long as the toughness passes, because we just have bamboo on hand, so I use it directly. ”
Measuring the length of the bamboo billet, Lu Yu took out the stone axe and carved a dent at 30 cm, 45 cm, 75 cm, and 90 cm of the bamboo blank.
Divide the whole bamboo blank into two long and two short.
If you fold the bamboo blank, you can just enclose a rectangle similar to the size of the tile.
When the time comes, just tie the head and tail junction tightly with a bark rope.
After folding for a while, a delicate tile mold appeared in front of the audience.
"Guys, do you see that?"
"That's pretty much it. ”
"When printing the blank, we only need to fill the mixed clay into the mold, and then scrape off the excess part with a scraper. Isn't it simple and convenient?"
“6666!”
"Awesome, I feel like my IQ has been insulted like never before!"
"Actually, this is a very simple bricklayer job, I've done this!But to be honest, the anchor is really good, and the restoration is very good!"
"It's so showy! Feather God, I'm going to roll bread for you to eat!"
"Awesome!
"It's so fresh and refreshing to play with mud!"
“233333333”
......
Followed by.
Take a bamboo tile mold.
Lu Yu came to the heat reflection wall, moved the slate of the morning fried eggs, sat directly on the ground, and took a lump of clay, which crackled and fell on the slate a few times.
"Bang Bang Bang ——!"
However, that's not all.
After trying the soil, Lu Yu felt that the heat was not enough, so he took off his straw sandals again and stepped on them barefoot.
"The clay is soft, so you must use some way to increase its stickiness and make it tighter. ”
"But in this process, there is one thing that needs to be more careful, don't use too much force. ”
"Otherwise, it will accelerate the loss of moisture in the soil, and once it is heated, the kiln will be fried. ”
The indescribable crackling sound spread in the live broadcast room, and it was heard very clearly.
attracted a lot of complaints from the audience:
"Papa~"
"There is no evidence for suspicious cars!"
"I'll go, please tell me out loud, I'm not the one who is dirty!"
"Haha!"
"You're too evil, aren't you?"
"This familiar dragon impact is too in place!"
......
Soon.
After falling and stepping on it for a while, Lu Yu threw the mud ball aside to settle down.
I took some ashes from the grass and trees by the fire.
It was sprinkled on the stone slabs.
Then put the tile mold:
"Grass ash prevents tile embryos. ”
"This step is also important and should not be overlooked. ”
"In addition, when filling the mold with mud, we must ensure that it is fully filled, so that it can be completely compacted, and it is loose and loose, which is not conducive to later kiln firing. ”
Talking.
Lu Yu roughly estimated the amount of soil, took a small lump of precipitated clay, threw it in the tile mold, and compacted it by hand.
Wait until you have made sure that the edges and corners are all filled, then smooth the surface with branches.
And sprinkle another layer of plant ash.
Followed by.
Let it sit for a few seconds.
Lu Yu decisively erected the stone slab and took down the tile mold.
Some water was taken from the bamboo tube, smeared on the surface of the tile, and the second shape was carried out.
At this point, a tile is ready.
But that's not all.
Finally, Lu Yu stretched out the index finger of his right hand and drilled a small hole the thickness of a finger in the center of the top of the tile.
Then, on the top of the round hole, use your fingers to gather a bulge.
That is, the tenon.
At the tenon, Lu Yu was also sprinkled with plant ash.
In this way, it can prevent the occurrence of fracture during kiln firing to a large extent.
After making the first tile, Lu Yu summoned the drone in front of him and photographed all the details of the tile.
It attracted a lot of applause from the audience!
"It's too 6!"
"Handsome!"
"It's up, I see......"
"I feel like I can even make a rocket if I give Feather God a wrench!"
"Awesome with a capital letter!"
......
In fact.
Make a tile.
It takes less than a minute.
However, because I was not familiar with the soil quality well at the beginning, the viscosity was not well controlled.
Improper wet and dry conditions often occur.
So the overall process is a bit slow.
But when I made three or four pieces.
Lu Yu's speed is getting faster and faster!
In just a few moments, more than a dozen pieces were made!
