Chen Zhe quickly made a few clay brick blanks from the materials at hand, and then marked them with serial numbers, carefully noted which materials they were made of and in what proportions, and then placed them in a ventilated place to dry naturally.

After the bricks dried, Chen Zhe began the firing work.

The bricks are neatly placed in the brick kiln, put enough firewood, light a fire, and then seal the mouth of the brick kiln, leaving only a ventilated flue, for a long time of firing.

During the firing process, Chen Zhe waited anxiously, because his blending of clay brick accessories was completely lucky.

Except for the fact that the clay content in the clay bricks is about 35%, he has no idea the reasonable ratio of clay bricks, because the clay on the island is not the same as the clay on the mainland, so some of the previously recorded ratios may not be used on the clay of the island.

The firing of clay bricks takes a little less time than that of pottery, and the firing is completed before dark.

Chen Zhe couldn't wait to open the clay kiln and wait for the inside to cool down thoroughly before taking out the clay bricks.

But in fact, it was not necessary to completely remove the bricks inside, and Chen Zhe had already seen some of the results - among the clay bricks of various proportions, at least half of the clay bricks had broken during the firing process, and a small part was not cracked, but the surface was full of cracks.

This shows that the ratio of this part of the clay bricks must be wrong, and the bricks fired with this ratio cannot be used at all.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zhe's heart was full of frustration.

Yan'er thoughtfully patted Chen Zhe's shoulder and whispered, "It's okay Brother Chen, this is just the first attempt." ”

Chen Zhe nodded lightly, but his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

After all, Chen Zhe lives in the wilderness, and there are many wild beasts on the island that are eyeing the food in his camp.

In addition, the rainy season is coming, and when the rainy season comes, burning bricks will become an impossible task......

After thinking about it, Chen Zhe's heart was full of pressure.

After a while, the temperature in the brick kiln finally dropped, and Chen Zhe took out the clay bricks that had not yet broken or cracked, and looked at them carefully.

There are only three surviving clay bricks, and although two of them are very complete, because there are too many clay proportions, they are actually the texture of pottery when they are fired, and they will crumble when they are knocked "ding".

It's definitely not going to work.

The last piece is too little clay because the whole brick is too crispy, like a piece of slag baked cake, and the soil on the surface falls to the ground when it touches it.

As a result, the last three bricks failed to meet Chen Zhe's requirements, and this batch of clay bricks was "wiped out".

Chen Zhe sighed helplessly and put down the waste in his hand.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also saw this scene, and everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for Chen Zhe.

"It looks like it's really hard to burn bricks......"

"Didn't Mr. Zhao say just now, the debugging ratio is very complicated, and it can't be done in a week. ”

"Chen Zhe didn't cry, stood up straight!"

"Failure is the mother of success. ”

"Not today, try again tomorrow!"

“……”

The host Zhu Ranran also said very regretfully: "It seems that Mr. Zhao is right, Chen Zhe's batch of bricks has failed." ”

Zhao Mingliang nodded unexpectedly and said, "As expected, and reasonable, Chen Zhe still has a long way to go if he wants to fire successful clay bricks. ”

Zhu Ranran sighed and took the initiative to say to the director: "I think we can take a look at the survival of other groups of players first, it seems that Chen Zhe will not burn successful clay bricks today." ”

On the director's side, the director also thought so, he immediately switched the camera, and the picture was transferred to other survival players.

……

And the brick kiln here.

Although the first batch of firing ended in failure, Chen Zhe was not discouraged.

He did not give up firing clay bricks.

However, the first failure also taught him a lesson, and made him understand one thing - trying the ratio of clay bricks without a clue is like crossing a river blindly, and using this method to burn bricks is not that there is no chance of burning high-quality clay bricks, but the chance is too slim.

In this case, even if the qualified wall tiles are burned, it must only be met by luck, and he has no time to hit the luck again and again, and he has to build the wall before the rainy season.

Since the traditional method does not work, Chen Zhe thought of a non-traditional method - the item upgrade system.

If you can't burn a high-quality clay brick, use the item upgrade system to upgrade a high-quality clay brick.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhe first found an excuse to separate Yan'er and the Qiao sisters.

"I see it's getting dark, you don't need to stay here with me, go back and prepare dinner, I'll burn another batch of clay bricks and go back." ”

Yan'er didn't know that this was Chen Zhe's "plan to divert the tiger from the mountain", so they obediently went back to the camp to prepare dinner.

The photographer estimated that Chen Zhe would not be able to burn qualified clay bricks for a while, and it was also possible that he didn't want to stand outside the brick kiln to eat ashes, so he took the machine and Yan'er back to the camp.

After these people were gone, Chen Zhe picked up a burnt clay brick and used the item upgrade system.

[Item detected: A low-quality clay brick.] 】

[Item current durability: 1750.] 】

[Item value: 0.7 yuan.] 】

[Do you spend 20 popularity points to upgrade items?]

Chen Zhe thought about it and didn't upgrade directly.

Although the 20 popularity points cost a single upgrade are not much, if you want to build a wall, a total of hundreds of bricks, how much popularity will it cost?

Besides, when it comes to burning bricks, Chen Zhe can't first burn out a kiln of broken bricks, and then use the system to wave his hand and directly turn these broken bricks into high-quality bricks, right?

When the time comes, they will definitely see it and be suspicious.

So after thinking about it, the trick of upgrading clay bricks with the item upgrade system is too dangerous and easy to goof, and Chen Zhe definitely can't use it.

But this trick can't be used, how to get high-quality clay bricks?

Chen Zhe frowned, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

A bold idea popped into his head.

He casually picked up a piece of brick that had not yet been fired, had just been pinched out, and was still carrying moisture, and then stopped his gaze.

[Item detected: A clay brick with the wrong proportion.] 】
