My system is not decent

Chapter 1048
The raw materials for the production of Ru porcelain have been developed by a large number of porcelain craftsmen for hundreds of years, and the perfect formula has been explored.

Just like minerals with a high degree of weathering, due to the erosion during the weathering process, the raw materials contain relatively few impurities, which can guarantee the quality of Ru porcelain from the root.

In this way, it is simple.

If necessary, Chen Wenzhe can even directly synthesize and refine higher quality raw materials for porcelain making by himself.

In ancient times, these were limited to the development of science and technology, and certainly could not be optimized.

But now, these things have become very simple.

If necessary, Chen Wenzhe can provide detailed mineral categories, together with the list of elemental ingredients, some mud factories can accurately prepare the top-level tire mud and glaze for him.

In fact, when purchasing mineral raw materials, Chen Wenzhe had already written down the requirements, which allowed for a rough selection.

In this way, the raw materials are in his hands, and he can handle them carefully.

And in this way, the formula was kept secret, and it also saved him a lot of work.

After researching and understanding the production process of Ru porcelain, Chen Wenzhe can save a lot of things.

Especially the first few processes, don't look like they are very simple, but if they are not done well, they can directly affect the quality of Ru porcelain.

Compared with ancient times, the process that Chen Wenzhe can save is not too much, only two steps, except for the first step of material selection, which is the second step of crushing.

Crushing raw materials, don't look simple, in ancient times it was really not easy to achieve the desired effect.

In ancient times, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, raw materials could only be processed by punching pestles or stone mills.

The raw materials processed in this way show that the particle size is more dispersed and has better plasticity.

However, the drying shrinkage rate is large, and molding problems such as deformation and cracking are prone to occur.

Therefore, among the Ru kiln wares handed down from generation to generation, very few large-scale utensils are seen.

In addition, relics with a large surface area such as plates, cups, and washing unearthed from the Ru Kiln site are often deformed and cracked.

Therefore, the crushing and processing methods of Ru Kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty can directly affect the size and appearance of Ru Kiln porcelain fired in the later period.

This point is very important, and now that we know the flaws, if Chen Wenzhe wants to process some slightly larger Ru kiln wares, he can work hard on this aspect.

Of course, the internal structure of the large-scale Ru kiln wares produced in this way will be somewhat changed, otherwise defects such as deformation and cracking cannot be avoided.

However, after avoiding these defects, the Ru kiln wares produced should still have the exquisiteness of Ru kiln wares handed down from generation to generation, such as the glaze surface is like jade, and the glaze color is azure!

The third part is panning, this link is also a link that can be improved.

After all, the effects produced by modern machinery cannot be achieved by ancient people.

Of course, hand washing and hand crushing of raw materials also have the unique effect brought about by the firing of Ru kiln porcelain.

Elutriation is the process of removing the rough and finer raw materials after crushing.

Now the Ru kiln site has discovered a filter pond, a clarification pond for elutriating raw materials, and an ash ditch connecting them.

The equipment, within the ceramic factory, is ready.

It doesn't have to be too big, as long as there is.

Anyway, Chen Wenzhe didn't want to imitate Ru kiln porcelain in large quantities. The facilities he needed only needed a little modification.

The filter pool is mainly for filtering sludge. In the ruins of Ru Kiln, the filter pool is full of bluish-gray sludge, charcoal particles and white clay lumps. The southeast of the pool mouth is a drainage tank, and bluish-gray fine mud is left in the tank.

Through these things, we can also deduce some of the production process of Ru kiln porcelain.

It's all about the details, and the details make or break the game.

For example, Chen Wenzhe, if he hadn’t seen the process of making Ru porcelain by Yan He, the ancient Ru kiln master, how would he wash the fetal mud?
Although he will pay attention to it, but to what extent can he pay attention to it?
With the filter tank, do you need a mud tank?

How are the facilities connecting these pools built?And why was it built like this?
In the ruins of Ru Kiln, the bottom of the Chengni Pond also has blue-gray fine mud. There is a drainage tank in the southeast corner of the pool, and the tank is full of blue-gray fine mud.

The remaining blue-gray fine mud at the bottom of the ash ditch is exactly the same as the remaining blue-gray mud at the bottom of Chengni Pond.

According to the direction of the ash ditch and the remains in the ditch, it is speculated that the ash ditch and the mud pool are a whole. The raw materials for porcelain making are filtered through the filter pool, discharged through the ash ditch, and finally transported to the mud ditch. The pool is further stale, and finally the processing of raw materials is completed.

The relationship between the unearthed relics and strata indicates that the filter pond, ash trench and mud pond were supporting facilities in the same period.

Now Chen Wenzhe has already prepared all the supporting facilities for making Ru kiln porcelain, and now he is just waiting for the east wind.

When the workers of the ceramic factory transported the raw materials from the Nanyue Customs into the factory building, it was the time when Chen Wenzhe showed his talents.

It took a whole day of procrastination, and the raw materials finally entered the market this day.

After opening the packaging bags of those raw materials and seeing some mineral materials inside, Chen Wenzhe heaved a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Li Jinli bought him some semi-finished products after processing, and they were all carefully processed materials in strict accordance with his requirements.

And just like that, Chen Wenzhe still needs secondary processing.

However, after careful study for a while, Chen Wenzhe discovered that Li Jinli did better than he imagined, because Li Jinli helped him save some time-consuming processes.

"It's already stale! As long as you smash it again as required, it can be used!"

Although I haven't seen Li Jinli for a long time, Li Jinli's support for him has not been discounted at all.

After careful inspection, he found that all he needed to do was crush and filter it, and he didn't even need to do the last stale mud.

And such raw materials, the price is certainly not low.

With the help of Li Jinli, Chen Wenzhe saved a lot of worry and trouble, so the porcelain clay and glaze were quickly prepared, and then it was molding.

Molding is a method of using a mold to make a body, which is too simple for Chen Wenzhe.

As for the mold, he has already prepared it. Even if he wants to save trouble, it is not impossible to use the mold that already exists in the ceramic factory.

This is not difficult for anyone who imitates Ru kiln porcelain, because a certain number of pottery molds for making imperial Ru kiln porcelain have been unearthed from the Ru kiln site.

Most of these molds are made by hand-drawn billet technology, which is unique, and there are two kinds of inner molds and outer molds.

And as long as there is a mold, it is too easy to make an embryo.

Many of Ru kiln porcelains have classic shapes, because almost all of them are practical ones.

Many varieties of practical utensils require more quantities, such as dishes and dishes.

These practical devices that need to be mass-produced are naturally the most convenient to use molds to produce.

However, some utensils are of strange shapes and do not need too many Ru kiln porcelains, so there is no need to use molds to produce them, which is not counted.
