How did I become an old artist?

Chapter 74 The Combination of Art and Science!Find eternity in change!
In the courtyard, Zhao Chen was sitting on a chair, concentrating on dripping black glaze on a teacup bit by bit.

On the shelves around him, there were dozens of the same teacups.

In the past few days, Zhao Chen repeated this process as usual.

Every time netizens enter the live broadcast room, what they see is a craftsman who is devoted to art.

Everyone was amazed by Zhao Chen's unique style.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Zhao Chen is so outstanding.

"call!"

Zhao Chen glazed a teacup and let out a sigh of relief.

"Yaobian Tianmu is an oil drop cup, which belongs to the famous product of Jian kiln in Song Dynasty."

"Although there is no theory about the formation of Yaobian, it is generally recognized in the art world that the production of Yaobian is in line with the techniques of oil drop and rabbit hair."

"Everyone can understand that Yaobian Tianmu may be born in these oil drop cups, but there are many factors that affect whether Yaobian can be produced, and it all depends on luck."

Zhao Chen explained to the camera.

In the later stage, he needs to organize and edit the live broadcast clips into videos, and publish them on Station B and Douyin. Therefore, during the live broadcast, he will also comment from the first perspective to facilitate post-processing of the video materials.

Little Heibei was lying quietly beside him. This dog has been deeply influenced by art, and he seems to be used to this kind of life.

The little fox was playing around.

"However, it is very difficult to be successful. The first difficulty is that the teacup is made of thick glaze on an iron body. The iron body is the basis of Yaobian, but the defective rate of the iron body is very high, and it is easy to have air bubbles and deformation. .”

"After all, at high temperature, the stability of iron is not as good as that of soil, so even the black oil drop lamp is a treasure."

Zhao Chen said with emotion.

[Haha, master, come on! 】

[We are all learning art from you! 】

[I hope that the national treasure of Huaxia can reappear! 】

[I watched your live broadcast for three days, you are amazing! 】

【come on! 】

The barrage surged rapidly, and as far as the eye could see, it was filled with cheers from everyone cheering for him.

For most people in the live broadcast room, they very much hope that Zhao Chen can successfully reproduce the most difficult porcelain.

"The problem with the iron body is quite simple. After all, as long as you pay attention to the raw materials and techniques, it is not too difficult to burn porcelain with iron bodies."

"The really difficult thing is to provide enough Yaobian Tianmu environment."

"On the one hand, it is the ultra-high temperature, and on the other hand, it is the reducing atmosphere."

Zhao Chen stretched his muscles a little and said.

Restored atmosphere?
Hearing what Zhao Chen said, although everyone didn't understand it very well, they were full of curiosity.

When Zhao Chen popularized science, he always had a peculiar charm.

In fact, curiosity is the nature of people, and a large number of people like to read some cold knowledge of popular science.

Whether it's Infinity Xiaoliang's popular science on wild animals, or some marketing accounts telling stories about prehistoric giant beasts, many people like to listen to them.

Useless knowledge is also knowledge.

"Everyone should know the term redox reaction in chemistry."

"Yao Bian Tianmu appears, what is needed is to restore the atmosphere."

"To put it simply, there is a lot of oxygen in the kiln, so when fire, iron, and oxygen come into contact, the atmosphere will be 'oxidized'."

"If the oxygen content in the furnace is reduced and the kiln fire lacks oxygen, the atmosphere in the kiln will be 'reducing'."

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, all the netizens were stunned.

Good guy.

I heard right.

A folk culture craftsman, in popular science redox reaction?

Burning porcelain is also related to chemistry?
The combination of art and science sounds interesting!

Then, Zhao Chen's words aroused heated discussions among everyone.

"Iron is very unstable and has multiple oxidation states. During the reduction process, ferric iron will be reduced to ferrous iron, which is a natural strong solvent and can easily melt back into the glaze."

"The beautiful crystals produced on the Yaobian Tianmu teacup are the products of precipitation and reduction during this process."

"However, at high temperatures, these reduced products can easily melt back into the tea cup, and all previous efforts will be wasted."

"After all, during the iron reduction process, the crystalline substance is in a very unstable state. It is too difficult to reach that critical value."

"This critical value is also affected by the temperature of the day, atmospheric pressure, air humidity, and the service life of the kiln."

"When everything is perfect, everything is just right."

"Then, the most difficult porcelain Yaobian Tianmu was born!"

Zhao Chen's voice came from the live broadcast room.

Just listening to his narration, everyone felt incredible.

Is there really such a shocking work of art?

No wonder, every piece of Yaobian Tianmu is a unique product handed down from generation to generation.

It is incredible that they can be born.

Now in Huaxia's exhibition hall, there are only half of the incomplete Yaobian Tianmu cultural relics. In this case, Yaobian Tianmu is also regarded as a top national treasure.

In Little Japan, the three Yaobian Tianmu are even more defined as national treasures, and they are only allowed to be exhibited separately, and each one will only be exhibited for a certain period of time.

[Brother Chen, can this kind of porcelain really be restored? 】

[It's incredible! 】

[Now there are only three and a half Yaobian Tianmu known to exist in the world. What kind of concept is this? There is not even a single imitation in later generations! 】

[It's really difficult. If it really works, then the anchor will really become a national treasure artist. 】

Everyone sighed with emotion.

At this time, Zhao Chen touched the little fox who ran to his feet, and then said:

"The possibility of success is indeed very small. After all, there are many large factories trying to restore the atmosphere of Yaobian Tianmu with industrialized water products, but they all failed."

"The production environment of Yaobian Tianmu is like Schrödinger's cat. Before it succeeds, no one knows what the specific environment is like."

"Even if it is made, the craftsmen don't know why it is made, why it is the only one."

"This is the art of Yaobian Tianmu."

Then, Zhao Chen washed his hands, and then continued to drip glaze.

One thing Zhao Chen did not tell netizens is that black glaze is the most difficult to burn among all glazes.

Therefore, black porcelain is rarely seen.

This added some difficulty to the appearance of Yaobian Tianmu teacup.

Great art often requires a lot of hard work.

Such efforts may not even be rewarded.

But that's also the great thing about art.

In the evening, the first batch of fifty Tianmu teacups were all ready.

Zhao Chen plans to open the kiln tomorrow, configure the environment, and start firing.

Whether these porcelains can be transformed, whether they can be transformed from black crows into colorful phoenixes, is unknown.

If it is said that Ru kiln porcelain is an order from craftsmen and the old world, it must have a rain.

Then, Yaobian Tianmu is a state where craftsmen are looking for a balance among countless variables.

Find eternity in endless change.

Then, restore this eternity to a bowl of tea.

The burnt celestial eye becomes the celestial eye, and the jet-black glaze turns into a sky-blue light. There are countless large and small spots on it, and the spots around the spots will glow with color under the light.

It's like a god standing in the sky overlooking the universe.

A bowl of tea is a universe.

"Cans, Coke, juice, go home!"

In the workshop, Zhao Chen shouted loudly.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the three little guys ran over quickly.

Zhao Chen stood at the door and opened the door of the studio.

The three little guys knew they had to leave, and they all stepped out from the threshold.

Then, Zhao Chen also walked out of the studio and locked the door.

Then, two foxes, one person, one dog, strolled on the streets of Taoyi Village, and walked leisurely towards the yard.

In the studio, fifty freshly made pitch-black teacups wait quietly in the darkness, waiting for their fate.

Tomorrow when the fire starts, everything will be revealed.
