Chapter 247: The Bricks Are Born

This clod, as a whole, is a very simple cuboid, boxy, angular and angular. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is very neat, but the ordinary clay material is like a toy made by a child when he is playing at home. It is absolutely not feasible to use such clods to make a house.

The people present looked at the clod of soil for a long time, but they didn't find anything special about this ordinary clod of soil that had not been discovered. Because, I couldn't help but turn my eyes to Li Mo.

Facing the puzzled eyes of others, Li Mo did not have any panic. Others don't know, but Li Mo himself understands it very well. The clod of earth he had given to the Horned Dragon King was actually a half-formed brick.

The reason why it is said to be semi-formed is because according to the real brick-burning process, before entering the kiln, all the bricks have been dried in the shade, and the moisture in them has disappeared. It can be loaded into the kiln for firing. Li Mo didn't understand the reason, he only heard his classmates talk about the brick-burning process in his hometown when he was in school.

Because he was more interested at that time, Li Mo asked in detail about the steps and key points of burning bricks, but Li Mo didn't understand why he did it.

However, now that you know the steps, you can follow the main points and steps. As for the most difficult, the problem of the size and uniformity of the heat during firing. On Earth, this can stump countless technicians, even old potters who have burned kilns all their lives, cannot guarantee that every kiln is perfect.

However, in the magical Onesek, this is a simple step. Li Mo looked at Kate and pointed to the brick that was floating in the air: "Kate, dry it evenly." ”

"Okay. Kate didn't have any doubts about this, and before the others arrived, Kate had already gotten the gist of the firing from Limer.

may have felt that Li Mo's movements just now were very handsome, and he also snapped his fingers like Li Mo, and then, the dark brown bricks began to slowly turn white, and in a short time, they turned into dry bricks.

"Continue to heat evenly. Li Mo motioned for Kate to continue to increase her mana and burn the bricks to a higher temperature. And after Kate heard Li Mo's words, she accelerated the gathering of fire elements, and due to the excellent magic control, people who were very close to the bricks did not feel a trace of heat coming. But inside the brick, the temperature has been raised to an extremely high level, and it is still rising steadily.

In the case of a normal brick burning process, there are strict requirements for the speed at which the temperature is raised, as well as the time it can be maintained in each temperature range. This is so that the bricks can be heated evenly, while the material inside has enough time to undergo a series of physicochemical transformations.

If the temperature rises too quickly, it will have a negative impact on the structure and strength of the final product. If it were on Earth, Kate's rate of warming would be exchanged for a big mouth from the master of the kiln, and let him roll as far away as possible, so as not to waste everyone's hard work here.

However, with the help of magic, the firing process, which originally took a long time, was instantly sped up as if a cheat had been added. Moreover, with Kate's excellent magical perception, he avoided any cracks and holes inside the bricks without Li Mo's reminder.

After a few minutes, the bricks were heated to more than 1,000 degrees, and Kate carefully controlled the fire, feeling the originally loose clods of earth begin to become fine and compact, and at the same time become firm.

"Alright, let's start cooling down. Remember to take it easy. After receiving Limer's instructions, Kate began to control the temperature, quickly but slowly lowering the temperature of the bricks.

A few minutes later, a red brick appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Since all this was happening right in front of the other people's eyes, everyone watched as the originally light brown clods of dirt quickly changed color and eventually turned into hard bricks.

"Is this okay?" Ken looked at the already formed bricks, and felt a little incredible. He reached out and took the already cold brick in his hand, feeling the hard texture coming from his hand.

"It's like firing pottery. It's just that I didn't expect such a big change after the clod was fired. Ken tapped the bricks on the floor, and a rocky sound was heard.

"It's very hard, and it's not afraid of rain. Even more rare than wood is the excellent fire performance. Ken was quick to give his own judgment: "If you use it, it's about the same as a rock." ”

"Moreover, the thermal insulation and heat retention of this brick are very good. Compared with wooden houses, houses made of bricks are more sturdy, and at the same time, they are warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Li Mo continued to introduce the advantages that were not discovered by Ken. These advantages have been proven by the working people of the earth.

"This kind of brick is indeed much easier to obtain than wood. After all, dirt is everywhere, and fire magicians, we don't lack it. The control of the fire element by the blood mage can also meet the requirements. Ken put down the bricks in his hand and gave the final conclusion.

"However, if we use this material to make a house, I think we have a new problem. Ken's topic changed and new questions were raised.

"What's wrong?" Li Mo looked at Ken, waiting for him to say the question.

"None of us in the Bloodline have ever touched this material. So, if we use bricks to make a house, we don't. Ken didn't have a trace of embarrassment, and very calmly admitted that he was not capable.

"How do you bond the bricks to each other, how do you make sure they don't fall apart after they're built? Also, the weight of the bricks is much heavier than that of wood, and we have to solve the problem of the house sinking after it is built. As a long-lived blood clan, although it was only the first time he had seen bricks, his previous experience allowed him to accurately ask these questions, and after speaking, Ken shrugged his shoulders: "Even, the mud blocks are made by ourselves, and it is a question of how big and small each brick should be. How to be the most suitable size also needs to be solved. ”

Li Mo nodded, these questions are all the focus. If these problems are not solved, then the houses that are built will definitely collapse much faster than the speed at which they were built.

However, at this point, Li Mo is full of confidence. The place where he used to live with his grandfather was a civilian area, and there were many houses for rent. Most of the neighbors living in this area do not have a high degree of education, so in Li Mo's childhood, his neighbors, who accounted for the most, were construction workers.

Although the construction of a house is a manual work, it is more of a technical work. And the young Li Mo, although under the expectations of his grandfather, the most important thing is to study. However, under the influence of hearing and seeing, I also grasped a lot of key points for building a house.
