Survival male god

Chapter 40 The Fated Watermelon Jie
In order to facilitate water fetching, Chen Jing set up the fire kiln on the coast and set up a pergola on the spot.

And mud, piled up, dried, and then ready to fire the kiln.

"My circular earth kiln is only half a meter high, but it is enough. Ordinary open-air firewood kilns can reach a high temperature of 600 degrees Celsius. This improved fully enclosed fire kiln can reach a high temperature of up to 1600 degrees Celsius."

The earth kiln made by Chen Jing is divided into upper and lower parts, the fire chamber and the kiln chamber, and the lower part is also equipped with an air duct.

When blowing, the external air can be blown into the fire chamber, and the outer flame with the highest temperature of the combustion material will emerge through the fire outlet of the kiln chamber, providing the maximum firepower for the kiln chamber above.

Of course, making charcoal for the kiln is also very important. Chen Jing washed his hands and decided to find some firewood first.

Due to the high temperature for many consecutive days, the entire island was exposed to the sun. Almost all the firewood that can be picked up is very dry and can be used directly without drying.

After getting a lot of firewood back and forth, Chen Jing returned to the wooden house, ready to eat something, and took the fire from the stone stove in the kitchen by the way.

Before noon, he poured some water into the earth kiln to prevent the outside of the earth kiln from cracking, and rested in the pergola until two o'clock in the afternoon. Everything was ready and only owed to the east wind.

Chen Jing pushed part of the firewood into the fire chamber, and covered the outside with a pile of firewood.

"Light the fire, burn the kiln!"

With a shout, he stuffed the ignited hay ball into the kiln. A moment later, billowing smoke billowed from the beach, and the fire made Chen Jing's cheeks red.

"About four or five hours, after cooling for another two hours, the fire kiln will be ready..."

"The time in the afternoon can't be wasted. I have to find some more firewood to make charcoal. By the way, we have to get some clay. There must be something on the seabed near the volcanic island."

"Clay is actually an aluminosilicate mineral with a complex composition and is an important raw material for firing ceramics."

"Porcelain is also a kind of pottery, but compared with ordinary pottery, the raw materials are different from ceramics, and the forming temperature is also different. The former can be formed at 600 to 800 degrees, and it is not completely sintered. Ceramics fired with various clays have a forming temperature of 1200 to 1400 degrees."

"Pottery has strong water absorption, poor hardness, and rough surface, while ceramics basically do not absorb water, have strong hardness, and are more resistant to high temperatures."

"In the forging industry, small workbenches are used to hold containers for melting and casting liquid materials. They can also be called crucibles. They are made of high-temperature resistant materials such as ceramics and quartz graphite."

"This is one of the must-have tools, I'm going to find some clay now and make a cauldron!"

Chen Jing strolled towards the coast, ready to dive.

"Oceanic clay is mainly red clay, or brown clay. The deep-sea clay is composed of biological sediments, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and other mineral elements. The offshore clay composition is mostly non-biological sediments, such as silicon, quartz, volcanic debris, etc., containing a lot of complex elements."

"This kind of lumpy red clay is easy to find. We don't need much. We can find a fist-sized piece."

"Cancel the hover mode!"

After tying the camera to his head with a cassette, Chen Jing plunged into the sea.

He is very familiar with the surrounding sea area. He dived to the bottom of the seabed at a depth of ten meters, scraped away the light-colored sand, and dug back and forth several times. Chen Jing finally found the red clay.

As expected, this red clay is very easy to find along the coast of the volcanic island.

The audience was amazed.

[Chris closes the door: "I really found it for him."

Fairy Mushroom: "It feels like the host knows this place very well."

Dundun Beast: "It's not difficult for him at all!"

Passing knight: "This knowledge reserve is really terrifying..."]

Chen Jing emerged from the water, waded ashore, and showed the red clay in his hand in front of the camera.

"As long as you know this land well enough, no matter where you go, you can make everything work for you."

"This is not a great skill. Everyone can do it by learning more and remembering more."

Back to the place where the kiln was fired, the fire was raging. Chen Jing smashed the red clay, removed large hard particles, added some loess, made a cylindrical crucible, dried it, and threw it directly into the kiln chamber.

"Next, I'm going to make a batch of charcoal. The method is also very simple, just use the local method in the countryside."

"Stack piles of firewood neatly, cover the outside with flammable dry grass and leaves, and wrap the outermost layer with thin mud, poke some small holes, leave an opening at the top, and then burn from above. After the firewood inside is ignited, the top can also be sealed, and then the vents will be gradually blocked."

"After a day, peel off the outer layer of mud to get the charcoal we usually use. Compared with firewood, charcoal is easier to fully burn, and the heat is amazing. After the flame is amplified by the earth kiln, it can easily reach the melting point of most metals."

"The method has been popularized for everyone, and the next step is to implement it step by step."

The waiting process is often long and boring, but when Chen Jing was worried about how to spend this boring time.

His eyes fell on the beach in front of him, and he stood up from the arbor.

"That is……"

"A figure?"

The lens deflected accordingly, and the focal length was magnified ten times, only to see a man lying on the white sand.

The other party was wearing a dark camouflage uniform and carrying a backpack. As for the specific situation, it was too far away to see clearly.

The expression on Chen Jing's face was extremely exciting, and he said:

"Brothers, shouldn't it be that guy Xiguajie? Go and have a look?"

His guess was approved by most of the audience. Besides him, a lunatic, and that idiot Xiguajie, who else would come to this island?
It's just that everyone didn't expect that Xiguajie, who was full of confidence and determined to win Sejudao, would appear in the eyes of the public in this way.

It is said that going to the island is easy and effortless?
How does it look, the other party's situation seems to be a little bad?
Two minutes later, Chen Jing frowned as he looked at the dark-skinned man lying motionless on the beach in front of him.

"died?"

He recognized Xiguajie's face, with single eyelids, an upturned nose, a Chinese character face, and a pair of protruding ears.

The man whose life or death is unknown at the moment is indeed Xiguajie himself, but the situation is a bit strange.

The clothes on his body were broken to varying degrees, and the exposed parts of his limbs were wounded in many places. The bloodstains and biting wounds looked quite shocking.

Chen Jing squatted down and checked the other person's breath, looking a little surprised.

"It should have been encountered by those marine iguanas, but this guy was so lucky that he was not bitten to death or drowned in the sea. He probably swam to the shore with a sigh of relief and fell into a coma."

"Wait for him to wake up by himself!"
