Of course there are no gods!

Zhu Guoqiang has been wandering around the brick kiln with his engineering shovel these past few days, not because he wants to set up some Feng Shui array.

As for the so-called "Heavenly Tribulation Formation", it is also nonsense.

Zhu Guoqiang has been looking for soil for several days.

The so-called "offending Taishang Laojun" is actually just superstition. The fundamental reason is that the bricks used to build the furnace are not refractory bricks. Compared with burning firewood, coal is used as fuel at a higher temperature, and high temperatures will cause the furnace bricks to soften.

, this may cause the brick kiln to collapse. As an engineering student, Zhu Guoqiang easily found the reason.

The simplest way to solve this problem is to replace the lining bricks of the furnace with refractory bricks. Refractory bricks may seem very classy, ​​but in fact they are not much different from ordinary clay bricks. It is just a matter of choosing different clay.

, Clay bricks are made of a wide range of materials, but clay and clay are not the same. The main components of clay are aluminum oxide and silica, and the most common ones are kaolin. The higher the content of aluminum oxide and titanium dioxide in the clay, the better the fire resistance.

The better the performance, the higher the silica and iron oxide content, the worse. This involves simple chemical experiments to determine the quality of the raw materials.

So for a few days, Zhu Guoqiang has been looking for suitable clay to make refractory bricks. Although it took some effort, he still found the right raw materials after a few days. An ordinary adobe kiln can be used to bake refractory bricks, so no one paid attention.

It was not until he burned hundreds of thousands of refractory bricks and ordered the craftsmen to re-lay bricks in the furnace of the brick kiln that the onlookers realized that a fight was about to begin!

"I heard that the prince has asked people to rebuild the brick kiln."

"That's for sure. The outer formation is ready, now let's start drawing the talisman in the inner formation!"

No one saw how the prince painted the talisman, but even so, the brick kiln still attracted many wandering Taoist priests and even scholars. They stared eagerly at the craftsmen and how they built the kiln.

, is there any talisman?

Of course, the result was disappointing to them. After all, it was just a simple renovation of the brick kiln.

Although the time-space door is an artifact, Zhu Guoqiang still thought of transforming the adobe kiln instead of going directly to the wheel kiln. The reason why he did this was not because he didn't want to, but because compared to the previous "wheel kiln", there was no

Under human guidance, tower-type adobe kilns are more suitable for craftsmen of this era.

All it takes is a simple modification of the furnace, which actually means replacing the bricks in the kiln with refractory bricks. The hill-like tower-type earthen kilns have not been eliminated even in some mountainous areas in the south of the Yangtze River until the 21st century.

, but refractory bricks were used in the furnace.

"Your Majesty, if you use bricks like this, are you really not afraid of Taishang Laojun?"

Although as a scholar, he stayed away from ghosts and gods, Li Shiji was still curious when he watched the brick burners stuffing the bricks into the furnace.

"What Taishang Laojun, it's just a matter of temperature."

Zhu Guoqiang grinned.

"Shi Gong, even bricks and clay have their own melting temperature, which is the same as steel. Ordinary clay bricks will begin to soften at 1350 to 1400 degrees. The temperature of coal-fired kilns is high. Once the bricks used to build the furnace become soft, the furnace hearth of the furnace will be damaged.

It's so heavy, so it's easy to burn down."

"Uh? Really?"

Li Shiji didn't believe it, let alone the kiln workers. Finally, it was time to open the kiln. Early one morning, thousands of people crowded around the kiln, wanting to watch the excitement. Of course,

They all stayed far away, for fear of hurting themselves during the fight.

Looking at the people watching around the kiln, Zhu Guoqiang asked casually.

"It's just to bake bricks, but why are there so many people here?"

"Hui Shizi, these, these are here to see you fight with the Supreme Lord!"

What!

"Fighting!"

This time it was Zhu Guoqiang's turn to be dumbfounded. After he figured out what was going on, his expression became extremely complicated, and it took him a while to react.

"This is too ridiculous..."

have to!

Seeing the high interest of the onlookers, Zhu Guoqiang thought to himself that maybe this was a good opportunity to break the feudal superstition.

According to the rules, you have to burn incense to worship the gods and pray for the blessing of the Supreme Lord.

But today, the kiln workers didn't know which god to worship. After all, today was the day for the battle between the Crown Prince and Tai Laojun.

"My lord, do you still respect this god?"

"What kind of god are you worshiping? Just keep it at arm's length. It's just about burning bricks. What's more? Just light a fire!"

Although the prince's order made Lao Dingtou and others a little nervous, they did not dare to disobey the prince's order. When they lit the fire tremblingly, Lao Dingtou was thinking in his heart.

"Bless the Lord Huode..."

It's on fire!

The firewood that led to the coal was lit first, and soon the coal was ignited by the firewood. In the eyes of others, the scene was not lively at all, and there was no movement at all.

Only the entrance of the brick kiln kept spewing black smoke.

"Just a fight?"

Zhou Shining said in surprise.

"Do you really believe it?"

Wang Chen, who came to the kiln with Zhou Shining, asked in reply.

"How can there be any gods in this world..."

Almost as soon as Wang Chen finished speaking, the originally clear sky suddenly became clouded. The clouds happened to be shrouded in the kiln area. The clouds became thicker and thicker, and the wind started blowing in the wilderness.

"It's a battle of wits!"

Someone shouted, and the onlookers seemed to feel something strange in the air.

"Click!"

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in the clouds, and then there was a roar of thunder. Then there were several more flashes of lightning, and a huge thunder suddenly occurred.

The sudden thunder made the people all take a few steps back in fear, and even some timid ones knelt on the ground nervously.

"Don't blame the Immortal, don't blame the Immortal..."

At this time, it seemed that there was no other choice but to kowtow. When one person knelt down, others followed suit. For a while, the people in the wilderness knelt together, and only a handful of people were still standing there. Even so,

, they also looked at the kiln with dumbfounded eyes, watching the lightning and thunder there.

Is it difficult? Is it possible? There really are gods in this world!

Zhou Shining only felt a moment of astonishment, staring at the kiln farm and the dark clouds in the sky in horror. Although his reason told him that this was just a spring thunder, it was too coincidental. How could such a coincidence happen in this world.

There were people kneeling outside the kiln, and the ground was full of people kneeling inside the kiln. However, Zhu Guoqiang, the person involved, looked a little complicated. This... what a coincidence!

Spring thunder... It's just an ordinary spring thunder... Just when Zhu Guoqiang was thinking about it, suddenly, hail fell from the sky, and hailstones the size of peas fell from the sky...
