Chapter 384: True Feelings and Real Scenes-'Flood Famine' (10)
In the afternoon of the same day, the primitive people went to squat in groups to guard their traps, and Xu Ran was quite sure of the primitive people's persistent work attitude, which showed that people knew to plan for the long run.
Xu Ran began to make his pottery embryos, he followed the soil method found on the Internet, he first spread the weathered rock soil collected in the morning on the rocky ground, and then used stones to grind it to a powdery state, and then mixed the powdery rock and soil into a mud with water, and after kneading evenly, he processed two basin-shaped blanks with a diameter of 20 cm and a height of 10 cm, and then made two matching blank lids, and then put these blanks in a cool place for drying.
When Xu Ran was doing these activities, he did not operate them himself, but through spiritual power; In the process of using spiritual power and mud, because it is observed through the spiritual force field space, there are uneven places of harmony, which is clear at a glance, and the operation can ensure the quality of the product too much.
After doing this, Xu Ran made some mud brick embryos with the remaining soil materials, and he considered that if it was feasible to burn bricks, he was going to burn more bricks and build a stove; If burning bricks is not feasible, he has to find some stone to build a stove; At least he had to make it possible for primitive people to learn to use fire, which could be regarded as a help to them; For Xu Ran himself, this can only be regarded as a gesture, but Xu Ran understands that this is a great help to the social process of this primitive tribe.
In the next period of time, Xu Ran exercised the ability of 'making four stones do their own movements at the same time' on this high ground.
For the division of labor between men and women in this primitive tribe, Xu Ran also roughly figured it out, it is 'male protagonist outside and female protagonist inside'; before getting up from the cave at noon, Xu Ran asked the two women who lived with her to make a pair of leather shorts for themselves, because these primitive people had never seen leather shorts, Xu Ran also specially and carefully explained and compared with these two women; these two women were of course elated that the great god could arrange this kind of housekeeping work for them.
Xu Ran could let the leader of the primitive people arrange this matter, but in the end, it would still fall on these two women, because the two of them were arranged to serve Xu Ran; So instead of going through a lot of trouble, it is better for Xu Ran to arrange it directly for them, so as not to appear angry.
The members of this primitive tribe did not have names, Xu Ran in order to communicate with his two female companions in the same cave, he obtained their consent, and named the two people, namely 'Qingfeng' and 'Mingyue'; although these two people did not know the meaning of the names, but the unique names given to them by the great god had made her two very proud; after Xu Ran taught them to read them a few times, both of them were able to pronounce their names accurately.
After eating a barbecue dinner that night, Xu Ran tried the pottery clay embryo he made, and felt that the water in it had volatilized a lot, and the surface of the clay embryo also had a certain hardness, and the pottery clay embryo was already in a non-plastic state; Xu Ran began to work on the firing of clay embryos.
He directly used the campfire for the dinner barbecue, but this time in order to dry the mud embryo step by step, he controlled the campfire to a small fire at first; When baking, he still uses the technique of one support four, and at the same time he uses a clay pot and three clay bricks; The reason why he didn't bake the four clay embryos related to the clay pot at the same time at the beginning was because he was worried that if he couldn't control the heat or strength well, he would damage all the clay embryos made in the clay pot in the afternoon; That would delay the time to try out the clay pot by yourself.
It took about an hour, and Xu Ran dried all the water in the clay pot blank perfectly; This is also due to Xu Ran's ability to control the space of the spiritual force field, so that he can clearly observe the water distribution in the clay pot blank, so that he can prescribe the right medicine to control the firepower; During this period, Xu Ran also discovered a situation, that is, his spiritual force field could partially isolate the transmission of fire or heat.
This is when he was baking the bottom of the clay pot, due to its local uneven moisture, he didn't want the clay embryos that had been burned dry, and some of them were in a state of overburning, so when he used his spiritual power, he subconsciously worked those places, and wanted to make those parts be roasted lightly, but he didn't expect this subconscious action to work, and the flames that touched the bottom of the clay pot in the area really became smaller.
After that, Xu Ran deliberately carried out this operation, and gradually let him master some tricks; However, he also found that his ability to isolate the flame only improved the size of the fire, and could not completely isolate the flame's barbecue; Xu Ran analyzed that this should have something to do with his proficiency in mastering this skill and the strength of his spiritual force field, maybe when his mental force field is strong enough, he can completely isolate the flames; If one day I really practice that ability, I should just wait for a fire or something.
At this time, it was already dark, usually at this time, the primitive people were already sleeping in the cave, today everyone is not sleepy, they all gather nearby to watch the great god is busy, if it is not for the fact that the weather is still quite hot, these people will probably stand very close to the fire, to carefully watch the beautiful scenery of the flame firing pottery; For such a unique flame burning landscape, it is the first time that primitive people have seen it when it is dark, and many people's eyes flashed with psychedelic and intoxicated looks.
After the first clay pot was dried, Xu Ran increased the flame of the fire, let the clay pot be roasted by high fire in the middle of the flame, and let the three clay bricks that had not been completely dried continue to be dried with small flames around the fire.
After half an hour like this, Xu Ran knew through the observation of the spiritual force field space that the clay pot had begun to glaze; After another half an hour of firing, although the surface of the pot is not completely covered by enamel, it can be observed that no new enamel has appeared; Xu Ran put the roasted clay pot in the wood ashes on the side and let it cool down gradually; Xu Ran preliminarily judged that this clay pot should be regarded as burned, and it depends on the effect of tomorrow's use.
The three mud bricks have also been roasted dry at this time, Xu Ran directly put them in the fire and let them be fired naturally, after all, these are just mud bricks, not pottery that needs to be treated carefully, the reason why I have to patiently dry the water just now is that I am afraid that when I fire them directly, they will be directly burned or fried due to the amount of water; In the real world, those clay bricks need to be placed naturally for many days before they are fired in the brick kiln.
Next, Xu Ran picked up another clay pot clay embryo and two blank lids, plus a clay brick and began to dry; This time Xu Ran was more experienced, and in less than two hours, the three clay pot parts had been fired, and Xu Ran also put them in the wood ashes on the side to let them cool naturally, and the mud bricks continued to be placed in the fire and let them be fired;
He began to beckon the primitive people watching next to him to rest early, Xu Ran told them, "The results of today's work will not be known until tomorrow morning"; there are still 9 mud bricks that have not been fired, and Xu Ran will have to wait until tomorrow to continue to do it, otherwise he will have to stay up for a long time.
Usually, primitive people are resting early, today for the first time to gather here to stay up late, everyone will be a little tired, now by the fire of the fire is still burning bright, plus the dazzling stars in the sky, all hurriedly groped back to the cave to rest.
When he was barbecuing the clay pot just now, Xu Ran noticed that some primitive people had been staring at the burning flame and looking carefully, as if thinking; Xu Ran asked the primitives leader to remind everyone: "Don't stare at the flames for a long time, it will be easy to hurt your eyes."
The next morning, Xu Ran came out of the cave to check his pottery works, Xu Ran's two female companions in the same cave were also awakened by Xu Ran's movements, and when they saw Xu Ran coming out of the cave, they put on a leaf skirt before leaving the cave, and 'Qingfeng' and 'Mingyue' also got up and put on their leather skirts before leaving the cave.
Xu Ran came to the side of the fire that had burned out yesterday, and used the spiritual power imperial skill to inspect his clay pot works yesterday, although the fired pottery is not comparable with the fine porcelain on the market, but at least in terms of hardness and stiffness, he is very satisfied, the coverage rate of the enamel on the pottery pot can have a 40%, Xu Ran estimates that this is mainly because the burning temperature of the flame is not high enough, but at least it can be regarded as pottery.
Xu Ran put the lid of the pottery on the clay pot again, and compared it, although it was not too seamless, it could already be said to be unsatisfactory; At this time, ordinary people should look at the bottom of the clay pot facing up against the light to check if there is any light transmission, but Xu Ran is confident that he doesn't have to do this step, because he is directly observing the clay pot with the spiritual force field space, so there is no need to move it many times; Moreover, this move has not yet been in place for him to pass the mental force field space inspection.
Next, Xu Ran put the two clay pots into the pool and filled a basin of water, and then placed them on the rocky ground, and he happily told the onlookers: "It's done, this clay pot can be used for water and can be used to boil water." ”
Maybe the primitive people around them did not move the meaning of boiling water, but it did not affect their elation, at least this water-filled vessel was definitely a tall item in their eyes.
Yesterday, although these primitive people slept late, but because they were worried about wanting to know what the great god's work at night was, they couldn't hold their breath after waking up this morning and wanted to go out to watch, many people came out when Xu Ran had not yet come out of the cave, although they were anxious to know the result, but they were very responsible and did not go forward to look at the great god's works at will; It wasn't until Xu Ran came out of the cave that he followed Xu Ran to take a closer look.
Because he was too obsessed with caring about the works of the great gods in the morning, those primitive people who got up quite early couldn't care about themselves in the morning, so that when Xu Ran filled the two clay pots with water and put them on the rocky ground, he noticed that these primitive people were basically defenseless, except for 'Qingfeng' and 'Mingyue'; this also made Xu Ran happy, his two women in the same cave still have taste, at least know how to dress properly.
