Chapter 396: The Brick Kiln on the Agenda

In the beginning, the people of the tribe were very worried about keeping such a large swarm of bees within the walls of the tribe, fearing that the bees would sting.

It's just that if you put it outside, you're afraid that such delicious honey will be taken away by something else, so in the midst of the entanglement, I recognized the survival of bees in the tribe.

After a few days of contact, I found that these bees were busy flying around collecting pollen every day, as long as they didn't attack the hive like Xiaofu did at the beginning, and directly put their mouths on the hive, these bees would not take the initiative to attack people, and the people in the tribe were completely relieved this time.

There are even many children, who stand not far from the beehive when they are fine, watching these bees go in and out of the beehive, and some will involuntarily put their fingers in their mouths and suck.

Sweet honey has a big enough attraction for children who like to eat sweets, as long as you say, if you do a good job, you will drink a bowl of honey water, and these guys are more energetic than anyone else......

After the turmoil caused by the bees gradually subsided, the spring planting of the Qingque tribe was basically completed.

The millet that was first planted has been drilled out of the ground, revealing tender buds to be caressed by the spring breeze.

Outside the Blue Sparrow Tribe, near the creek, smoke is now rising.

This is the person who has been freed from the spring planting, and there he begins to make clay tiles in preparation for the big blue brick and tiled house that the Son of God said.

Now that Heiwa is no longer involved in the tile making matter, it is basically no longer involved, and it is handed over to the two people who often give him a hand to complete.

Compared with more demanding pottery, tiles are still relatively easy to use.

But he was not idle, and he had more important things to do.

Compared with burning tiles, it is much more difficult to burn bricks, and the kiln used for burning tiles is not suitable for burning bricks.

It's not that it can't be fired, but it's too labor-intensive.

They had tried to burn it once, and the fire had been burning for three days before the bricks were finally burned through.

After spending so much time and materials, only 100 bricks can be produced in a kiln, and half of the bricks are broken when they come out of the kiln, so they can be used at all.

According to this progress, the blue brick and tile house that Han Cheng wants to build will really not appear until the Year of the Monkey......

Facts have proved that the kiln for firing tiles is not suitable for firing bricks, and the solution is, of course, to build a new kiln suitable for firing bricks.

The first requirement of the newly built kiln is to be large, to be able to fit a lot of bricks at once, at least more than 1,000 pieces.

The second is sturdy.

Because of the living environment in later generations, Han Cheng has seen the clay kiln that burns bricks, and the clay kiln was not uncommon in that year.

Of course, most of the brick kilns he had seen were abandoned brick kilns.

In my impression, the small brick kiln made by the soil method is about four or five meters high and more than 15 meters in diameter, with a thin cone at the top and thick at the bottom, similar to a huge mound.

Inside such a large mound there is an arched space made of bricks, and there is also an arched wall on the side that is used to transport bricks into it, and people can enter and exit from here.

Inside, the space is relatively large, and the bricks that have been made and dried are placed in it......

The construction of such a kiln is also a big project, even if Han Cheng intends to reduce the kiln by half, it is undoubtedly a big challenge for him and the people of the Qingque tribe who only know the general structure, but have never done this.

In particular, the arched top is a thing with high technical requirements.

But there is not much to think about, so I can only catch the ducks on the shelves and learn while fighting.

A lot of things are the same, and if you don't try it, no one knows if you can do it.

For example, charcoal burning and iron smelting before, this is something that Han Cheng has never thought about before, but life has come to this point, what can he do? I can only bite the bullet.

Oh people! You don't have to do it yourself, you never know how good you are!

After Han Cheng sighed and encouraged himself, he began to arrange people to do things.

The first is to let some people continue to make bricks, which is a very necessary thing.

At the same time, let the two of them continue to burn bricks in a small clay kiln that is not suitable for burning bricks.

There is no way, and the brick kiln to be built later needs to be built with bricks, so it can only be fired in this way for later use.

It's just that the bricks fired in this way are not cyan, but stained with some earthy red.

If you want to burn the bricks, you also need to have a process that cannot be carried out by a small earthen kiln that burns tiles.

A few days after such a thing was carried out, under the leadership of Han Cheng, a part of the Qingque tribe began to excavate at a location not too far from the original small earthen kiln.

A circular pit with a diameter of about eight meters and a depth of about one meter and twenty meters was dug out.

After these were completed, seeing that there were not enough bricks burned, Han Cheng thought about it, so he asked people to cut down more sticks and prepare to build a grass shed near the earthen kiln.

Of course, this hut is not for people to live in, but for bricks to 'live in'.

Bricks, like clay embryos of pottery, do not see the sun, especially in summer.

It also can't rain.

Therefore, Han Chengcheng took advantage of this opportunity to let people build a grass hut first to shelter the bricks from the wind and rain, so that even if it rains in the future, there is no need to be afraid.

After Han Cheng set aside the place to build the grass shed, he basically didn't have to worry about the rest, and the people in the tribe could do the rest by themselves.

Once again, the people of the Bone Tribe were amazed by the ability of the people of the Blue Sparrow Tribe.

How could they have so many things?

After this emotion, he began to devote himself to this kind of labor, to contribute to the tribe, and at the same time to learn these novel skills as soon as possible.

When the people in the tribe were busy for this, Han Cheng, as the chief worker, did not sit idle after arranging all the affairs, but used the bricks that had been burned to keep arranging things, which was a bit similar to playing with building blocks.

First of all, two 'walls' are no more than 30 centimeters high and no more than 1 meter long, and the distance between the two walls is one meter.

Then, with bricks, the vault began to extend outward little by little between the two 'walls'.

The vault is a hurdle that cannot be avoided in building a brick kiln, because this thing is the best choice in terms of load bearing and heating.

This thing is nothing to people who are used to masonry work, but for Han Cheng, a novice, it is much more difficult.

"Boom la la ......"

The arches extending from the two 'walls' had collapsed before they could be smoothly connected......
