Chapter 45 Gold Bricks Entering the Kiln

"Firing green bricks? Green bricks are fragile and troublesome to burn." Chen Qinglin hesitated for a while.

Chen Wenzhe naturally knew, but he had a way to solve the problem.

"I will burn!"

"Really? Our village has a topped kiln, which can make green bricks!"

"Can it still be used now?" Chen Wenzhe was really surprised this time.

"It's just behind your old house. It was built by our grandfather back then. It's just filled up and covered up. It's not destroyed. It can be used after digging it out."

"Eh? Haha, I'll save you trouble this time. I'll get you the brick embryos at that time, and I'll guarantee that the green bricks produced will be as hard as rocks."

It's just harder, and it doesn't have to be like gold bricks, it's as bright as a mirror, its sound is like a chime, and it's like gold and stone when struck!

Since getting the inheritance, Chen Wenzhe has studied for a long time, and he already has a good idea of ​​how to fire gold bricks.

It's just that he didn't expect that there would be a chance to burn it so soon!

"You know how to burn bricks?" Chen Qinglin was a little puzzled, are all college students so good?
"I can not only fire bricks, but also porcelain!"

"Haha, I know you are studying at the Art University, but you really know how to burn bricks? Good bricks!"

"Yes, not only can you burn bricks, but you can also burn tiles. You can also make tiles. Didn't you design the gate building? Learn about brick carving?"

"Okay, I'll leave these to you. This time, I will definitely impress your sister-in-law."

Chen Wenzhe looked at Chen Qinglin strangely, was he angry with his wife?

I have to say that Chen Qinglin is a real man, after all, the price of being angry is too high.

With Chen Qinglin's support, it was much easier for Chen Wenzhe to do things.

The village digs soil all the year round, and everyone knows where there is good soil, but it's just that they don't pay much attention to the use of soil.

Now with the guidance of Chen Wenzhe, it is not difficult to dig some qualified clay.

Although the clay he chose was not suitable for firing gold bricks, he still followed the process of firing gold bricks.

Of course, those troublesome steps are all omitted.

With this practice, Chen Wenzhe also has some ideas about firing gold bricks!

So, for the next two days, he has been helping to build the house and burn bricks.

After the brick embryos entered the kiln, Chen Wenzhe, who had nothing to do, began to formally make gold bricks.

In the third uncle Chen Jianshe's greenhouse, Chen Wenzhe had to choose the soil first.

According to the ancient method, the selected soil should be placed in the open air for a whole year to get rid of its "earth properties".

In the eyes of others, this step is to be done regardless of whether it is useful or not, whether it is managed or understood, but what is the soil nature?
Chen Wenzhe, who has obtained the inheritance experience, knows very well that there is some earthy nature, but this is mainly a selection process.

Qualified gold brick soil only needs to be dried a little.

So why did the ancient craftsmen spend a lot of time drying the soil?

In fact, it is very simple. One is that the conditions at that time were not good, and the preserved gold brick soil was easily polluted, and random inspections were required at any time.

Another problem is the construction period. If the construction period is not extended, if the construction period is delayed due to a small accident and the gold bricks cannot be handed over, the head will be beheaded.

So, they took two years to complete the task that could have been completed in one year, so can they still complete the task?
Chen Wenzhe has enough experience in selecting gold brick soil, and he also has the conditions to preserve it in good condition to prevent the gold brick soil from being polluted.

The main reason is that he made relatively few gold bricks, only four or five tons of soil, which was easy to handle.

He has a master level of mud training, so he is not a problem with mud.

Soak the clay in water, put it directly on the mixer, the mixing is good, and put it on the dough mixer.

In this way, he does not have to let several cows step on the mud repeatedly to remove the air bubbles in the mud balls, and finally refine them into dense mud balls.

After repeated beatings, the critical moment came.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe had to be careful, he passed all the refined mud in his hands bit by bit.

In this way, when the bricks are finally fired, it is possible to avoid air bubbles in the gold bricks.

Finally, put the mud ball into the mold, cover the surface with a flat plate, and then step on the plate until it is firmly stepped.

Then dry the adobes in the shade, which is actually not as bad as drying the embryos for firing porcelain, but the requirements are more stringent.

Of course, it is not necessary to dry in the shade for more than 7 months as in ancient times before it can be fired in a kiln.

This is all based on experience. There are certain standards for when to dry in the shade and to what extent.

Using means, this process is actually very fast. The simplest thing is to speed up the ventilation. This, in the eyes of modern people, is really too simple.

If you have experience, you are not afraid of problems. Therefore, Chen Wenzhe took twice as long as firing ordinary bricks.

With qualified brick embryos, the next firing will be more troublesome.

In ancient times, when firing, it was first smoked with bran for a month to remove its moisture.

Then chop the firewood and burn it for a month, then use the whole firewood to burn it for a month, and finally burn it with pine branches for 40 days before it can come out of the kiln.

This is an exaggeration. Don't say smoke for a month to remove moisture. With experience, it can be completed in less than a day.

As for chopping firewood and burning it for a month, it is a bit exaggerated, because even iron smelting does not take such a long time.

The main reason is that in ancient times it was impossible to control the temperature of the kiln, and it was impossible to observe the temperature of the kiln at any time. Anyway, it is not bad to burn, so just burn it for a few more days.

There is also the last pine branch kiln, which is also the problem, but this step still requires carbon infiltration.

The reason why black bricks can be fired is that there is no oxidation reaction, and the other is that after the kiln is closed, the carbon ash in the pine smoke will penetrate into the gold bricks.

As long as the infiltration is completed, it doesn't take long. However, the pine branches in a kiln must be burned up.

The firing of the kiln is not finished, and the gold bricks have to go through strict inspections after they leave the kiln.

If in a batch of gold bricks, there are 6 pieces that do not reach the level of "knocking sound, breaking without holes", this batch of gold bricks is considered waste and needs to be re-fired.

In this way, in ancient times, it took up to two years to go from clay to gold bricks.

If this method is followed, it is absolutely impossible for Chen Wenzhe to burn gold bricks in a short period of time, and naturally he will not be able to complete the task.

With the development of the times, science and technology are not useless. Chen Wenzhe, who has done research for a long time, naturally knows how to save time.

Relying on experience, using machines, and adding scientific means to save a little time is no problem at all.

Of course, you can use tricks, but you can't mess around.

Not to mention other things, the reason why it took so long to dry a brick in the shade in ancient times is entirely because they depended on the weather for their meals, and when the weather was bad, it naturally took a long time to dry the brick embryo in the shade.

Now there are many methods that can be used. As long as you have experience, you can use baking rooms, electric kilns, and fans.

In the next few days, he became very busy.

When Chen Qinglin's bricks leave the kiln, his gold bricks can also enter the kiln.
