I wanted to make a joke with the fat brother and rob him of the opportunity to blow out the candle in advance while he was not paying attention, but to my surprise, it didn't blow it out.

The fat brother immediately reflected and rushed to blow out the candles with me.

Since I was relatively close, the fat brother's mouth had not yet come over, so I blew it again, and the candle still did not go out.

Then I blew a few more quick blows, but it still didn't go out.

At this time, the fat brother had already come, his big physique, he could blow down the candle in one mouthful, so I gave up robbing him.

As a result, the fat brother took a bite, and the spitting stars sprayed on my and Yan Qiu's faces, only to see that the flame of the candle shook a little, but the candle was still not extinguished.

Su Rina stepped forward and said, "You two must not have made a wish, and you can't even blow out a candle." After saying that, I blew it myself, but the result did not change, as if the candle was burning more vigorously.

If I blew those few times because I was in a hurry and my strength was not enough, then then the fat brother and Su Rina blew very seriously, and this candle is not ridiculously big, much smaller than the candlesticks in some temples, how can it not be blown out?

Yan Qiu immediately looked around and said to us, "Is the air thin here?" We haven't paid attention to it for a long time, because hypoxia will affect the brain's thinking, and long-term hypoxia will lead to cerebral palsy. ”

Jiang Rou said: "Don't be suspicious, the air is thin and this candle won't burn so strongly, we need oxygen, it also needs it, it is estimated that the problem is the candle." After saying that, Jiang Rou squatted down and began to study the candle held by the little ghost.

We also followed Jiang Rou's example and studied around the candle.

The candle is nothing special, the white is slightly yellowish, the wrist is so thick, there is a wick on it, it seems that it has not burned for a long time, and there is not much wax accumulated on the base due to melting.

If there is anything special, it is the wick of the candle, the candle we use now is made of a rope, but the wick of this candle seems to be made of paper, thin paper like cotton wool, and I don't know what is wrapped in it.

I've heard that the explosive fuses used in the military are waterproof, and I haven't really seen this windproof candle wick.

At first glance, the material of this candle wick is not a modern process, and it is not as good as a cotton rope, and I really don't believe that it can prevent wind.

After looking at it for a while, Jiang Rou came to a conclusion, she said: "Well, it's a problem with the candle itself, this is a special wick." ”

The fat brother smiled: "You have been fooled by those of us who have never gone to school, why are you evil when you meet you?" You're not taking what you can't explain, are you? This candle wick, and there is no windbreaker, how can it be its problem? I haven't seen a candle that can't be blown out, and haven't you used a windproof lighter? I think when I was in an orphanage, peeking at the doorman and smoking, your sister-in-law picked up wine bottles for months in order to give me a windproof lighter as a birthday present. ”

Fat Brother's words reminded me of the good old days in the orphanage.

At that time, I was only a teenager, and the fat brother took me to learn to smoke, of course, I was still a child at the time, smoking was just to smoke into my mouth and then spit it out, pretending to be like an adult, just for fun.

The fat brother does have a windproof lighter, and he only lights a cigarette for himself, and every time he takes the trouble to change matches for the rest of us, as if he is afraid that the lighter will run out of gas and have nowhere to buy.

Unexpectedly, it was actually a token of love given to him by Sister Hua, this relationship really made us all worship, and the fact that they could achieve positive results also proved that the emperor lived up to his heart.

I secretly made up my mind that even if I folded it in, I had to send the fat brother out, a couple who were separated for me when they first got married, and I couldn't let anything break them up.

But I thought about it again, there were still loopholes in Fat Brother's words, so I asked Fat Brother: "Didn't you pick up wine bottles yourself for a few months?" Others don't know, don't I know? We're all orphans, where did we get our birthdays? Birthdays are celebrated with Children's Day. ”

The fat brother was dissatisfied: "Just because you don't have a birthday doesn't mean I don't, the day your sister Hua gave me a lighter is my birthday." ”

Yan Qiu smiled and said, "Feelings, are you following the gift on your birthday?" Whenever you give a gift, you will celebrate your birthday. ”

The fat brother nodded and said, "Yes, how big shoes do you send, how big my feet are." ”

Jiang Rou was moved to tears by the fat brother's love story, but still said with a smile: "It's really a matter of the wick, I'm not talking nonsense." Use yellow dan, flame nitrate, and sulfur powder, and roll it in paper to make a wick, which can prevent wind. But it's not so powerful, maybe in this wick, it's something more scientific. ”

I asked, "Sulfur I know, the main ingredient of gunpowder, the same as loess blocks." What are the yellow pills and flame nitrates you are talking about? ”

Jiang Rou said: "Almost, I don't know how to explain it to you, you can check it on the Internet when you go home." ”

Yan Qiu immediately said: "Don't check, I'll sue you." Huangdan is lead oxide, and flame nitrate is potassium saltpeter, which is also used as the main ingredient of gunpowder and explosives. And it can be concluded that the person who made this candle should be the same person, or the same group of people, as we saw painting the mural along the way. ”

Su Rina still pays more attention to evidence, and when she heard Yan Qiu say this, she asked Yan Qiu to be more detailed.

Yan Qiu explained: "Along the way, we can see from those murals that the painting skills of the makers are not ordinary people, and this flame nitrate and yellow pill are important raw materials for making porcelain." Flame nitrate can be made into malachite green glaze, and yellow dan can be used as a drier in paint. I said, why is the mural so beautiful and so well preserved? It shows that the maker of the mural did not simply paint it with paint, but regarded the entire Yongdao as porcelain, and the murals we see are all glazed from firing. ”

I didn't hear too clearly.

But Su Rina seemed to understand, and she asked, "You mean, the mural is actually a whole tile?" ”

Now I understand, after a long time, what they said is that the previous mural was not painted by a painter with a pen, but like making tiles, the pattern was first painted on the wall with special materials, and then the entire patterned wall was turned into glazed tiles with a special process.

Even in modern times, it is extremely difficult to make a whole tile that is so large, there will always be a size deviation within the allowable range of the process, and the pattern painted on it will also be deformed due to high temperature.

So most of the tiles we see are reusable patterns, even if there are simple picture puzzle tiles, the cost is quite high.

Could it be that someone or a certain group in ancient times had already mastered this technique? That's pretty breathtaking.

I asked Yanqiu, "Then can you be sure of the construction age here?" ”

Yan Qiu shook his head and said: "Judging by the wall bricks, it should be before the Ming Dynasty, because this kind of brick often appears in the ancient tombs of the Ming Dynasty, but it is not so big." According to the craftsmanship of the painting and the bronze statue, I simply don't know, and there is no relevant record in the history I have studied. Think about it, the ancient people made tiles, or the whole sheet, have you ever heard of it? It's not that it can't be done, it's because the ancient technology is limited, who would make handicraft-like ceramics into wall tiles and floors? It's too extravagant. ”

The fat brother said: "It doesn't matter what age it is, we must go back to our own time now, this candle can't be extinguished, I will extinguish it." After saying that, the fat brother took out the kettle, took a sip of the water in the kettle, and sprayed it at the candle like watering a flower.

Water is the nemesis of fire, and there will be no accidents this time, the candle will definitely go out, and we are all waiting for what will happen after the candle is extinguished.

It is hard to believe that even so, the wick of the candle was not affected in any way, and continued to burn stubbornly.

The fat brother simply didn't make a second effort, and directly pointed to the candle and asked Jiang Rou: "How do you explain this?" ”

Jiang Rou thought for a while and said, "Candles made of bile alum, camphor rouge, and flame nitre, plus some camphor, seem to be waterproof." It seems that this candle maker has taken into account both wind protection and water discharge. ”

I didn't care about the chemical ingredients anymore, but asked Jiang Rou helplessly: "Is this candle already invincible, can we still extinguish it?" The person who lit the wax didn't want the candle to go out, and I guess if the candle went out, something would definitely happen, and maybe he would be able to get out. ”
