Chapter 275: Porcelain

After passing through the factory full of furnaces and the average temperature was at least ten degrees higher than that of Helgana in early spring, I saw the results of the efforts of the porcelain R&D project team in the warehouse supporting the R&D center, and all kinds of white porcelain placed on a row of wooden shelves.

Xia Lin casually took down a porcelain bowl from the wooden shelf beside him and played with it for a while, the feeling of starting did not imagine the warmth and smoothness of porcelain, but a little rough, the enamel did not look very uniform, the naked eye can see the gray of the white carcass, and the wall thickness is also quite thick, the overall feeling is like just transitioning from stoneware to porcelain, the porcelain at this stage is about to be called coarse porcelain, Xia Lin couldn't help frowning when he looked at it.

"Boss, these porcelains are the work of our old craftsmen who have just mastered the firing method, and the quality of the finished products on the two rows of shelves in the back is much better."

Harry saw that Xia Lin seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the quality of the porcelain bowl, and hurriedly explained, while stretching out his finger and pointing deeper into the warehouse.

"Really? Report me on the opening of the matching furnace and I'll take a look at it."

Xia Lin put down the coarse porcelain bowl and asked, and the technicians accompanying the inspection hurriedly stepped forward and handed the report prepared in advance to Xia Lin.

The porcelain R&D project team has not been able to master the firing process of porcelain for a long time, Xia Lin looked at the corresponding opening report date on this wooden shelf, and found that it was indeed the first batch of products produced, and he had a little bottom in his heart.

Follow Harry to the other two large wooden shelves, the quality of the porcelain here has obviously improved a lot compared to the previous one, at least the wall thickness, enamel, and color have reached the standard of porcelain, and the whole body has been preliminarily completed porcelain, compared with stoneware and coarse porcelain, there is a clear difference, in the furnace opening report, the porcelain on these two wooden shelves is also produced after subsequent process improvement.

"It's fine if it's of this quality, but why haven't I seen the porcelain? Didn't I give you a few glaze recipes for colored porcelain?"

Xia Lin put down the white porcelain cup in his hand, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded with satisfaction, with this quality of porcelain, the start of his chemical system will also have a foundation, but then looking at the white porcelain in the warehouse, he asked Harry with some confusion.

"Boss, we are already trying to use copper powder and iron powder to adjust the color according to your idea, but the finished product is not very ideal, please come with me!"

When it came to colored porcelain, Harry's expression was a little helpless, and he continued to take Xia Lin to a place full of baskets in the warehouse, Xia Lin stepped forward to check it, these baskets were full of strange porcelain defective products, and even many of them could not even be called porcelain.

Harry asked two employees to remove two baskets of defective porcelain, which were different from other white porcelain, in various colors such as brown, honey, red, gray, green, black, etc., but these colors were all mixed together to look as if they had been burned.

"Chief Harry, are you sure you only add red iron powder to these colored porcelain?"

Picking up a porcelain cup that was completely post-modern, Xia Lin said in surprise. ….

The glaze formula he gave was very simple, that is, feldspar, quartz, granite, iron oxide powder and other materials on hand, originally only expected this group of old potters to find a simple porcelain glazing firing process, get some classic red porcelain, solve an enamel three primary colors, now it seems that their results are beyond their expectations.

"Of course, boss, we asked a special painter to draw the pictures on these porcelains according to your request, but after firing, the porcelain will look like this."

Harry seemed a little ashamed of the results of his project team, and when he saw this, Xia Lin looked at the various colored porcelain in the basket and said:

"This is actually not bad, for example, although these colored porcelain pictures are not molded according to our expectations, there are also many colored porcelain ware that looks quite beautiful, and can also be counted as qualified products.

During this time, you continue to try to fire the method of colored porcelain, and the situation of melting this glaze may be that your firing temperature is not well mastered, you can try graded heating firing. By the way, I'm going to give you a mission."

Xia Lin said as he took out his notebook, drew a simple square with a pencil, and handed it to Harry, who was full of surprise:

"You go and arrange for those old potters to fire some of these tiles, the first batch will cost about three hundred, and I will be of great use in no time!"

"Tiles?"

Harry took the simple drawing, which only drew the length and width of a square and the thickness of one side, with a text on one side indicating that only one side was glazed, and on the other side was a checkered pattern printed with a mold. Seeing such simple porcelain, Harry breathed a sigh of relief and promised:

"We shouldn't have a problem with that! We'll be able to finish production by this time tomorrow!"

"That's good, your porcelain R&D project team has worked hard during this time, this month give each person in your project team an extra bonus of gold lunde, the team leader and those potters who cooperate doubled, and your project team leader gets a bonus of four gold lunde, I hope you will make persistent efforts in the future and master the firing method of colored porcelain as soon as possible!"

The porcelain factory will be established soon, and this project is related to the implementation of many key projects in the industrial park, so it can be said that there is a lot to be done, and you must continue to work hard!"

Xia Lin patted Harry on the shoulder vigorously, and after the reward, he drew a big pie for his employees, and saw that these employees were excited when they heard the high bonus and the expectation of future prospects, and couldn't help but smile.

Harry obviously also heard the implicit meaning of Xia Lin's words, and slapped his chest again, and after Xia Lin left the porcelain research and development plant, there were still praises and cheers from the old potters in the factory who learned the news.

Potters are different from washing and dyeing, the profit of pottery is not comparable with the dye, dyeing industry, a gold lunt is also a lot of income for them old potters, compared to the stimulation of these materials, they will also be more conscientious according to the ideas provided by Xia Lin to improve the current porcelain firing process.

Gradually moving away from the porcelain R&D plant, Xia Lin walked towards the factory where the new explosives project team was located with a few entourages.

Although they are all inside the R&D center, the distance between the porcelain factory and the new explosives factory is quite far, and it took more than ten minutes for Xia Lin to walk to the factory where the new explosives are located.

There are no equipment like the porcelain research and development plant or the magic test plant, there are just beds and various daily necessities, which look full of life.

This is due to the fact that powerful new explosives cannot be developed in such a facility, which is mainly used to give rest to the members of the explosives research and development team.
