Five minutes later.

Flames rise.

The fire in the furnace gradually stabilized.

Seeing this, Lu Yu wiped his sweat and let out a long breath.

Turn around and come to the hut first.

Three dried fish were taken from the eaves.

Then I went to the chicken coop and ordered a turkey egg.

Be prepared to take advantage of this time to grab a bite to eat first.

......

The kiln should be burned thoroughly.

It's certainly not a short time.

If you're lucky, three to five hours.

But if something goes wrong in the middle, it's not uncommon to burn for a day and a night.

"Once the fire is stable, you don't have to wait until it goes out before moving on to the next step. ”

"It should be noted that the temperature of the kiln must not be low for the first time, and it must be burned thoroughly. ”

"Therefore, it is best to observe every ten minutes, and if the temperature is low, be sure to add firewood in time, otherwise it is likely to fall short. ”

"Not surprisingly, tonight, we're busy. ”

"Fill your stomach now while you have time, and then talk about ......"

Take the ingredients back to the campfire.

Lu Yu threw the dried fish directly into the fire.

Then, a clean slate was picked up near the camp.

Wait until it is completely heated and crack the eggs on top.

Leaning 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 supplies in the camp have been almost exhausted.

Apart from three or five turkeys and a few stinky dried salted fish, there was nothing else to eat.

Furthermore.

Due to the cassava in the vegetable garden, it has not yet reached the ripening stage.

The carbs in a garden are basically far away from water and cannot quench the thirst of the near.

Therefore, after the thatched hut was renovated, Lu Yu had to embark on a journey to find food.

But because of the professional hunting tools and the problem of food, Lu Yu was not too worried.

As long as it is not a large beast like an adult wild boar, the beautiful hunt in your hand should come in handy.

......

After a while.

Dinner was hastily finished.

Lu Yu came to the kiln again.

Look in along the mud opening on the roof of the kiln.

As time passed, the fire in the kiln became more and more intense.

Fireworks burning in the furnace hallway.

Its momentum is unabated.

It is squirting through the honeycomb hole.

At this time, the temperature in the kiln has reached an unprecedented peak.

The color of the inner walls and grilles has already appeared.

It is estimated that it will not take long before it will be completely burned through.

At this time, the pottery that was drying aside was almost dry.

It is not expected to be 10 o'clock tonight at the latest.

These semi-finished products can be put into the kiln.

......

While waiting for the fire to go out,

Lu Yu found a clam shell that was left over from eating before and polished the sun-dried pottery.

"If conditions permit, it is best to polish the dried clay pottery. ”

"Because the surface of the polished pottery becomes smoother, tighter and shinier, it avoids uneven heating. ”

"It's not a necessary step, but it greatly improves the firing results. ”

"Especially when it's time to fire pottery in the open air. ”

When firing pottery in the open air, it is difficult to reach the temperature standard because there is no protection from the clay kiln.

The surface of the clay often cracks.

At this time, you need a little external force to avoid this situation.

Grinding is one of them.

Don't underestimate this process.

A lot of times, it can really do more with less.

Soon.

After polishing all the pottery on hand, the green smoke at the mouth of the kiln began to turn from thick to light!

The firewood in the furnace was finally extinguished, and only a pile of red charcoal remained.

At this point, look at the grille and inner wall.

The color has long since changed beyond recognition.

The texture is also no longer fluffy.

Becomes unusually hard.

Covered with a faint sheen.

"Well, it's almost burning......"

"Looking at the color of the inner wall and the temperature in the kiln, it should be up to standard. ”

"Alright, now it's the highlight of the night—"

As he spoke, Lu Yu turned around and put the prepared pottery, one after another, on the grille.

Later, he took a lot of firewood, filled the furnace and ignited it with fire.

The heating process of the earthen kiln is very long.

It also takes at least an hour to reach the peak.

During this period, in order to ensure the temperature in the kiln, some firewood must be added from time to time to maintain the fire.

Because when firing clay, the temperature must not be low.

Otherwise, everything will be lost.

So, the next few hours.

Lu Yu was not idle at all.

It was kept watch until late at night.

In the end, it is not until it is determined that the pottery in the kiln is completely stabilized.

"The fired pottery cannot be put into use immediately, and it needs to be sealed and cooled for a period of time. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yu picked a lot of palm leaves from the woods and covered the mouth of the kiln:

"Let's go sleep first, I guess we will wake up tomorrow morning, and it should be about the same. ”

"Okay everyone, today's live broadcast will be here first, don't go away, and the excitement will continue tomorrow......"

......

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning.

In the blink of an eye.

As soon as the broadcast time arrived, countless viewers stood in front of the screen, waiting for Lu Yu to appear again!

Soon.

Quarter past five.

The live broadcast is officially launched.

Hmmm——!

The picture shook for a moment.

Fresh sunlight shines through the gaps in the foliage of the jungle.

Leaving a patch of patches in the air.

Ear.

Insects and birds chirp, one after another, so lively.

At this time.

The camera turns:

An unkempt "primitive man" with a beard suddenly broke into the picture.

At this time, he was holding a light brown clay pot with a shining light in his hand!

After coming to the river.

The guy suddenly crouched down.

In the babbling stream, a large jar of water was scooped.

It wasn't until the subtitles of "The Forty-second Day of Survival on a Desert Island" disappeared completely that he pointed to the clay pot and greeted everyone:

"It's another day, everyone, good morning!"

The primitive man is none other than Lu Yu!

After saying hello.

Lu Yu remotely controlled the drone and asked it to aim at the clay pot at hand:

"Look what this is—"

With that, he stretched out his finger and flicked it twice on the clay pot.

The sound is ethereal and crisp.

Ding Ding Dong, very good!

The next second.

The barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly became lively.

Densely packed with a large piece:

"Damn! The anchor succeeded?"

"Awesome, my brother!"

"It looks like a work of art, so exquisite!"

"Feather God, it's really yours!"

"Only 666 can express the true feelings in my heart!"

"I'm a!"

"A to W to the outer ring scratch to the anchor 666×10 —— so beautiful!"

"I launched it ruthlessly, and even gave it to the anchor Yumaru 100 combos—— and I was convinced...... Is it really a pair of hands at the beginning, and the equipment is all about manufacturing?"

"I like the taste of the armpit of the feather god and give it to the anchor airplane × 10—— this anchor really has something ......"

......

The clay pot presented in front of the camera is tightly knit and integrated!

It is fired.

The surface of the clay is not glazed though.

But under the smelting of high temperatures, a light brown halo was formed!

At this moment, as the camera slowly moves, the clay pot is shining in the sun.

Show the audience the wonderful texture brought about by this magical chemical reaction!

Thank you for the gifts.

Lu Yu paused and explained with a smile:

"Brothers, after hours of firing, plus a night of cooling, my clay pot is finally baked. ”

"How's that? Looks good, right?"

"The burned clay pottery is used to hold water, there is no problem at all, as long as it is in accordance with the normal process, even if it is burned on the fire, it will not crack, which is very practical. With it, it will be much more convenient for us to come to the stream to get water in the future. ”

After speaking, Lu Yu secretly ordered the drone to point the camera at the clay pot.

Outcome.

It's exactly what he said.

After firing, the clay pot has long been renewed.

It has become more dense and regular!

Definitely a rare survival utility!

This way.

Staring at the clay pot in front of you.

Lu Yu also sighed again and again:

"It's been more than forty days, and I finally have a decent artifact on hand......"

"From now on, we will never have to drink raw water directly. ”

"Because of the clay pot, you can drink a sip of hot tea anytime and anywhere......"

Not a word was finished.

Lu Yu suddenly changed his words.

With some regret, he continued:

"Overall, the pottery was a success. ”

However, due to the lack of space in the grate, in the process of cooling, a finished product was damaged, and in the end, there was only one clay pot, a clay bowl, and a small pot out of the kiln. ”

"But it doesn't matter, with this, it's enough to cope with everyday life. After all, it is not a professional earthen kiln, and the yield rate can reach this level, even if it is a passing grade. In addition, damaged pottery is not useless, because it can also be used as clinker for us to use later. ”

The so-called clinker.

It is the finished mud that has been fired.

The role of clinker.

Not to be underestimated.

It can greatly increase the firing power!

If the clinker is crushed and muded when making new pottery, it is tantamount to adding an insurance to the firing!

It is a good way to avoid defective products!

"Therefore, it is better not to throw away these waste materials, although they cannot be used directly, but they can become a very high-quality raw material. ”

"Okay, now let's go home and continue our big project!"

After chatting briefly with the audience, Lu Yu picked up the clay pot.

They returned to the camp the way they came.

When you arrive at the camp.

It's just 6 a.m.

Before the official start of tile burning.

Lu Yu first went to survey the earthen kiln.

Seeing that it had completely cooled down, he started to do something else.

Comb your hair and wash your face, brush your teeth and relieve your hands.

Lu Yu picked up some stones by the thatched hut and surrounded a simple small earthen stove that was not too big or small.

Then I put the clay pot on it and prepared to boil some water first.

Same as Lu Yu's description.

Clay pots are not afraid of fire.

The heat transfer is also good.

It didn't take long for the water in the tank to start bubbling.

"666, it can really boil water!"

"Take the potter!"

"Amazing!"

"The anchor is really awesome, with a pile of yellow clay, he can make such a practical pottery!"

"Feather God, Forever Dripping God!"

......

Boiled water.

Eaten.

Lu Yu stretched hard and came to the tiles.

After a day and a night of drying.

Most of the tiles are almost dry.

The moisture evaporates just right.

There are less than a dozen pieces that still owe a little fire.

But as long as it's just another noon, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Looked at it for a while.

Lu Yu casually picked up a tile and said to the camera:

"Friends, take a look. ”

"The tile billet, when it is exposed to this extent, can enter the kiln. ”

"I roughly counted it, and it was a hundred and twenty dollars...... One furnace can probably burn more than ten pieces. ”

"In my experience, we should burn three or four furnaces a day at most, and one hundred and twenty pieces will have to burn for at least two days and one night. ”

"Time is tight, the task is heavy, let's hurry up. ”

After speaking, Lu Yu picked up the stone axe and went to the jungle to chop some firewood first.

Just in case.

Half an hour later.

The firewood was chopped.

Lu Yu began to clean the furnace tunnel.

Clean the soot inside in turn.

The plant ash left in the furnace is also a rare raw material.

Adhere to the principle of no waste.

Lu Yu collected all the ashes and put them in the hut.

It's not uncommon.

But if you don't have it on hand when you're in a hurry, it's maddening.

So, stay if you can.

I don't know when it will come in handy.

Clean the furnace passage.

Lu Yu carefully took ten pieces of tiles and placed them vertically on the grate in turn.

And then.

There is also a certain gap between the tiles.

It facilitates air flow and heats up in the kiln.

A few minutes later, the tiles were stacked.

Lu Yu covered the mouth of the kiln with palm leaves.

I took the spark from the campfire.

New firewood was lit in the four furnaces in advance!

Just for a while.

Plumes of smoke came out of the cracks in the leaves, making a mess of the camp.

Ignited the furnace

Lu Yu's next task is one word: wait.

But in fact, it is much easier to fire clay tiles than to burn pottery.

After all, the tile has a single shape.

As long as it is placed properly, there is basically no uneven heating.

In contrast, the types of containers such as clay pots are much more complex.

Therefore, when firing, it is naturally not so easy to succeed.

However, even so, Lu Yu has made enough budget.

When printing the blank, I deliberately made a few more pieces.

I'm afraid that there will be accidents such as explosion kilns.

......

In order to properly store the burned tiles.

While waiting for the kiln to come out, Lu Yu renovated the sloping house in the camp.

Four main beams were added respectively.

Six beams.

At the same time, some palm leaves were used to enrich the roof.

One comes and goes.

The whole house has a new look.

It became two floors.

The space is also a lot larger.

One level below.

It can be used to preserve firewood.

And the upper layer can just be used to stack mud tiles.

One house for two purposes.

It's very practical.

Freshly burned mud tiles should not be damp.

Cooling is also required.

Secondly, because of the long firing time and large span, no one can guarantee that the weather on the island will not be abnormal in the middle.

Therefore, it is important to store it properly.

......

An hour of time.

Soon passed.

A new storage room has been created.

The smoke at the mouth of the kiln gradually faded.

Looked at.

Lu Yu smiled mysteriously at the audience, walked closer, and stretched out his hand to try it on the kiln wall.

Well.

The temperature was ok.

"It should be almost......"

"Let's see what's going on inside......"

Talking.

He couldn't wait to lift the palm leaves and open the kiln in one fell swoop.

Squinting his eyes, he looked in a thoughtful manner......
