Chapter 243 Bricks
Wang Yang carried a bag of charcoal and followed the slant to the bottom. This was both a passage and an air inlet. At the front, two adults added charcoal to the kiln, and behind them were blowing the wind in to speed up the burning speed of the charcoal...
Wang Yang put down the charcoal and replaced them with the three adults who followed him. He came to the front and added charcoal to him.
The air inlet is very hot, with red charcoal in front, and a small slope uphill in front of the charcoal in front, and bricks are one after another on the top.
He threw a pile of charcoal in, and the adults behind him immediately blew a strong wind. The charcoal burned quickly, creating a dark red flame. The hot temperature was swept into a heat wave by the wind, and it blew along the small uphill to the brick-like bricks.
Following the gaps in the bricks, hit the kiln wall behind it, and then bounce back to form secondary heating. Finally, the rising smoke and water vapor rise rapidly and float out of the air outlet above.
He looked at it for a while and the other adults replaced him. He went upstairs to help others fabricate bricks, then took them out to dry them. At night, he drew pictures on the ground next to the bonfire.
He was drawing a picture of the granary and was thinking about how much space he wanted to build. After thinking for a while, he realized that it was time to transport some wood to serve as beams and support.
When the processing capacity is not strong, make it early and take time to process it.
He gave this matter to Zhang San, who immediately led people to the forest.
This time, Wang Yang asked Xiaoxiao and his friends to follow him, so that they could learn some experience in survival in the forest and know what to do and what not to do. Don’t do stupid things like burning the forest.
The day passed quickly, and Wang Yang went to the kiln to see if there was any new situation.
The matter of burning bricks continues to develop. It doesn’t seem special, and Wang Yang doesn’t know how long it will take to burn bricks once. He is even less sure about the heat, and he probably won’t be as good as modern bricks when burned.
After a day, I couldn't see the situation in the kiln. There was dusty smoke inside and nothing could be seen.
He thought it would be difficult to burn the bricks thoroughly, so he added some charcoal to it.
Burning bricks is a technical job, and everything is given to the moment of opening a kiln.
Wang Yang is now a blind man touching an elephant and doesn't know anything. Most of the things he uses are common sense and not special at all.
He didn't care too much, he just needed to burn bricks and explore it later.
After burning for two more days, Wang Yang felt that he could no longer burn, so he took the initiative to block the kiln and close the kiln.
Just then, Zhang San cut down a few trees and came back and discussed with Wang Yang how to process them.
They first peeled the trees and cut off all the branches. They also cut off the fragile and thin tips, leaving behind thick trunks.
The trunk of a person is thick with a tree and five meters high. It is a very good choice for pillars.
But Wang Yang had no intention at all. He did not plan to be a delicate pavilion, and he would not be able to use it for the time being without this ability.
He plans to process it into rectangular wooden strips, set it between two walls and make a roof.
He told Zhang San about this idea. Zhang San frowned and felt a little embarrassed. It was very simple to ask him to cut it off and chisel a wooden barrel. After all, he smashed it in with a stone knife and axe, so he didn't have to worry about the size or irregularity.
As far as he wants to process it into wooden strips, it is much more troublesome to process wooden spears as far as the tools are concerned.
But he did not complain. It was his interest to process these things, and it was also respected by others, which was a great thing for him.
No matter how difficult it is, you have to do it.
Wang Yang also knew that this matter was very troublesome and not easy, so he didn't set any deadly requirements for the size, just look like it was almost the same.
So while waiting for the kiln to be opened, he and Zhang San kept doing this.
First, he carved a few straight lines on the trunk, then carved down the straight lines, and burned them from time to time with fire, charring the troublesome places, and then smashing them.
They didn't knock it dead, and did not insist on splitting the trunk in half. Instead, they carved half on it and half from the left and right ends, so that they fell off a quarter and then started carving the other side again.
After processing four pieces, a group of people who often process them with Zhang San were carved together.
Soon, it became one-sixteenth, and then split in half, which was one-thirty-twoth.
These thirty-two fine wooden strips that are several meters long have rough appearances. If you process them well, you can make dozens of wooden spears.
Wang Yang put them together, took the shortest one four meters long, cut the other wooden strips into four meters long, and then compared the thickness, try to cut a rectangular plane, which can be placed flat.
During the day when they processed these wooden strips, they opened a kiln.
The bricks that blocked the air outlet and air inlet were quickly removed, and the bricks still had a very high temperature. It can be seen that the temperature in the kiln was still very high if it was blocked.
Sure enough, as soon as the entrance of the cave was removed, the rolling black smoke rushed out like a leopard. Wang Yang and others were choked and retreated repeatedly, and they couldn't get close to the kiln.
The thick smoke dissipated, and Wang Yang came to the kiln, endured the high temperature and slowly approached, narrowed his eyes and looked in.
The walls were so black that they were smoked black, and the bricks were not spared, covered with a layer of black gray, and were in the black.
It took Wang Yang two days to cool down before he dared to go in.
The kiln was as hot as a stove, and hundreds of bricks were still emitting heat, causing everyone's sweat to drip quickly. Wang Yang touched a brick and estimated the temperature. He felt that it was not unbearable, so he asked everyone to move the bricks.
One piece of bricks after another were moved out and piled up outside.
When erasing the ash on the surface, you can see the rough dark red surface of the brick. The bricks are very strong and have a lot of weight in your hand.
Wang Yang's eyes smiled like crescent moons, and he called everyone to carry out the second round of burning bricks.
Then he guessed that when there were bricks, it was time to build a granary?
He immediately called the expellers to come over and thought about where to build the granary, whether it was between the wheat field and the river, or outside the wheat field.
Since you are going to build a house, do you need to think about the foundation?
Even though he had never studied architecture, he knew the important surname of the foundation. The yellow mud under his feet seemed to be not firm enough, and the floors might be unstable if they were covered with high floors.
He then brought the driving men to the other end of the wheat field and found that the land here was almost the same, without any substantial difference.
After thinking about it, he no longer struggled with this issue.
What he wanted to build a granary. In other words, he planned to build a bungalow instead of having two floors or more buildings. If the bungalows were almost negligible, the requirements for the foundation could be basically built as long as they were not deserts or mud.
