158. The lime burned out
Of course, it's a bit too early to think about building a city, after all, it's still a little far from the current place, and it's not easy to look at the road, so you have to slowly move closer to this side.
Now the main thing is to think about building a city wall first, to block this road first, and one day the ronin tribe in the province suddenly calls, it will be too late. There is also the matter of the hot spring holiday house, also hurry up, just build with this city wall, after the construction of someone to guard, nothing to come around, by the way to soak in a hot spring or something.
If you want to build a city wall, you can't use bamboo branches, at least you need to use bricks, red bricks and black bricks. Of course, it's not enough to use bricks, because since it's a city wall, you have to build it very high, so high that at least others can't beat you, maybe you have to build a house on the city wall, so that the defenders can rest, so you need something to fix the bricks, don't build it and then collapse, then it's not very good.
It would be best if there was cement, but now there is really none, and Guan Lin doesn't know how to make cement, this is a very manly thing, Guan Lin has never thought of making cement as a girl.
Although he can't make cement, Guan Lin knows lime, as a girl who likes to travel, Guan Lin has been to many places to play, and also knows that many famous monuments are made of lime as a binder, thinking that the Great Wall of our Greater China, like most of our temples and ancient cities, are made of lime, and even the pyramids of Egypt and the Pantheon in Rome are made of lime, which shows that it is still very strong if it is used well.
And Guan Lin also knew the practice of lime, lime is burned from limestone, that is when visiting a monument overheard the docent say, at that time Guan Lin didn't care, lime is not limestone burned, or limestone is still called limestone!
Now it seems that the narrator's sentence is still very important, or Guan Lin doesn't know that lime is burned from limestone, and thinks that there is lime in nature, as long as you find it. When you find it, you can bring some back to Kun and burn them. It should be no problem to burn lime with a furnace that burns copper ore.
So now the main task is to find the limestone. What kind of limestone is Guan Lin really doesn't know, and she has never paid attention to it, this shouldn't be something that a girl should pay attention to. But since lime is white, limestone should also be white. What is not white should not be far from the white.
Although I don't know what limestone is, some stones Guan Lin still knows that they are definitely not limestone, such as bluestone or something, it is so hard, it is estimated that it is impossible to burn lime no matter how much it is burned. So Guan Lin talked to Ying and them about building the city wall and the hot spring holiday house. Now let's focus on finding stones.
Find a location, Guan Lin is placed on the mountain, especially near the ravine, or near the hot spring, so that it is closer, and it will be moved back and forth when the province is saved, and if it is big, it may not be able to move.
After listening to Guan Lin finish talking about the general appearance of the limestone, a group of people began to look for it. First look for it near the hot spring, and show it to Guan Lin if it feels like it. Guan Lin felt that if it was possible, he would stay, and if it wasn't, he would just throw it away. After looking for the hot springs, I went to the ravine to look for it. In the end, he found several that looked like limestone, and Guan Lin wrapped them all in animal skins and put them on his horse.
Look at the almost found, a few people just gave up, and then began to rush back, a little earlier, a little earlier, early to build a good peace of mind, and to be able to soak in the hot springs comfortably as soon as possible.
The group finally rushed back to the tribe after dark, and there was not even anything to eat on the way. After rushing to the tribe to eat something casually, Guan Lin found Kun and them with the stones he found and asked them to burn them overnight. Let's see if we can burn the lime. After everything was arranged, Guan Lin returned to his house, and after a simple wash, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.
As soon as she got up in the morning, Guan Lin went directly to Kun. Look at how the stones brought back are burning, when I arrived, I saw that Old Doc was still burning there, it is estimated that the old comrades were on duty, and they kept burning all night, how to look at Old Doc not like staying up late, looking very energetic.
Guan Lin doesn't care about these. As long as you can burn the lime out. After opening the lime-burning kiln, Guan Lin's heart was a little cold when he looked at the previous shape, and it seemed that what he was looking for was not limestone. Just when Guan Lin was thinking about how to find the limestone, several stones were accidentally stabbed a few times by Old Doc with a copper stick.
Don't look at this casual stab, but Guan Linle was broken, it turned out that a few stones were smashed, and it looked like lime. Guan Lin took the copper stick and stabbed the ones that hadn't been stabbed one by one again, and after stabbing them, he saw that several stones were broken, although the color was not like lime, but at least they were smashed.
Guan Lin took out the stones prepared in advance and compared them, and put aside the stones that could be burned, which might be limestone. What can't be burned is thrown out of the door, these are real stones, not limestone. When the time is right to build the wall, they will send it to them, so that they can find it, burn it, and build a house!
It's a joy to wake up in the morning and see such a nice thing. But although it is burned, you have to try whether it is lime or not, this will be said after breakfast, just pull a few more people over during the meal, and it will be easier to do things.
After eating a meal, a few people were pulled, mainly those who went to look for stones, and Hu Helan, who took the initiative to ask for it. I didn't get my way last time, and I was always unhappy, so now I heard that Guan Lin was looking for someone, and I thought I was going out again, so I followed me directly.
When they got there, Guan Lin first asked Kun and them to shovel the burned lime out of the kiln with a shovel, put it in a pile for nothing, put it in a pile for dark, and then use a shovel to arrange it into powder; After letting go, he asked people to go to Xianghe to get some sand, and then began to add water and get up.
When he was with him, Guan Lin also specially reminded him not to get it in his eyes, and try not to get it on his body, or he would not be hurt. This is all because lime is very corrosive, if it gets into the eye, the eye will definitely be blind, if it touches the skin, the light broken skin, the heavy erosion, you must be careful, don't the city wall is not built, your own people are injured again, it is not cost-effective.
Guan Lin found a few leftover bricks and began to try them. The method of the test is very simple, that is, to coat the middle of the brick with good lime plaster, and wait until it is dry to see if it can be glued, if it can be glued, it is lime, and if it is sticky, it is lime in lime.
