The green bricks Chen Qinglin needed were not difficult to make.
The main thing is to make brick embryos. As long as you select suitable clay, trample it (mixer), beat it (tamping machine), and finally put it into a mold and press it into bricks, dry it in the shade for a while, and then it can be fired in the kiln.
There is no need for Chen Wenzhe to watch the firing, because there are kilns in the village who can burn it.
Of course, there was no need for Chen Wenzhe to build a wall, so he just had to go and take a look and then go about his business.
He is a professional in living mud. The production of gold bricks requires the selection of soil, pounding, drying, pounding, grinding, and then clearing the mud, washing it to dry, kneading it, making it, and drying it in the shade.
Before making bricks, Chen Qinglin got a lot of machinery, such as mixers, tampers, grinders, etc., which he can use.
As for the dough mixer, thermal sensor, and even wood, Chen Wenzhe could only buy it himself.
After making the mud tire, just press the brick blank directly. There is nothing difficult about the square brick blank.
Press out the brick embryo and dry it in the shade first.
The next step is trimming, painting, and carving. After completing these processes, it's time to fire the kiln.
Since it is an imitation, it needs to be a high imitation, so it needs to be more serious.
The ancient "gold bricks" were actually large square bricks with dimensions of two feet two, two feet, one foot seven, and one foot four. There were five or six sizes.
The chi mentioned here is the chi in ancient units, which is equivalent to 32 centimeters in modern times.
Today, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe, the Hall of Baohe and the Dingling Tombs, one of the Thirteen Tombs, are all paved with this kind of brick.
On the side of the brick, there are year titles such as Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Zhengde in the Qing Dynasty, and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, and seal words such as "Made by the Supervisor of Suzhou Prefecture".
Now that you've done it, you have to do all these things.
After all the processes were completed, Chen Wenzhe also completed a series of tasks!
"Complete Side Mission 4: Embryo Pressing, and you will be rewarded with an independent inheritance!"
"Complete Side Mission 5: Repair and be rewarded with an independent inheritance!"
"Complete Side Task 6: Painting, and you will be rewarded with an independent inheritance!"
"Complete Side Mission 7: Carving, and you will be rewarded with an independent inheritance!"
"The next step is to wait for it to be fired in the kiln, and then you will get an independent inheritance!"
Chen Wenzhe was delighted to receive four independent inheritances at once.
After completing the inheritance task of firing gold bricks, he will receive a total of ten independent inheritances. Now he has obtained seven times. He needs to use these inheritances!
It's a pity that he hasn't digested the inheritance he received before.
Chen Wenzhe still understands the principle of biting off more than he can chew, and naturally he will not rush for quick success.
Having made hundreds of gold bricks at one time, Chen Wenzhe was not sure how successful they would be in firing, even with the inheritance experience he had gained.
What's more, he also deleted many processes. For example, after firing in the kiln, he would use a thermal sensor to speed up the firing time. He didn't know if doing so would destroy the entire kiln of bricks.
The brick kiln has been fired once, and all the green bricks produced are up to standard.
The sensor has also been installed, and the brick embryos that have been dried for a long time will naturally be put into the kiln.
At this time, the kiln must be fumigated to remove moisture. This can be done quickly by controlling the temperature with experience and the temperature sensor in the kiln.
The next step is to use chopped firewood for firing. You can speed up the firing by observing the opening and controlling the temperature.
But he still needed to observe how long this step would take.
Ordinary adobe bricks can be made out of the kiln in just twenty-four hours, while ceramic tiles can be out of the kiln in as fast as twelve hours. There is no comparison.
Fortunately, this step doesn't take much effort, you just have to wait.
After reaching this point, all that remains is to use pine branches to burn the kiln.
This step is for pine smoke. Pine smoke can be used to make ink, and soot is naturally the best carbon.
The reason why the fired gold bricks are as black as ink is related to the pine smoke. This can also be cheated.
What follows is a long wait, and as long as the temperature is controlled, Chen Wenzhe doesn't have to stare at the kiln entrance every day.
Now that I have some free time, other things need to be taken care of.
For example, the ancient tombs are now in trouble.
Although he has been busy these days, he has not forgotten the ancient tomb.
At least, he can learn about the situation at the ancient tomb through Li Qingtian every day.
Since they didn't know the situation under the ancient tomb, those people just cleaned up the floating soil above it in the first two days, and they were very happy when they found the mound of sealed soil.
But the two meters of soil required them to dig for another two days.
The main reason is that the place there is relatively small and there is a small stream.
If you want to dig out the ancient tomb smoothly, you must first sort out the creek to prevent the water from flowing back into the tomb.
Next, the sealing soil has to be transported away. In this way, only one excavator can work at a time, and the speed will naturally be slow.
When they reached the quicksand layer, they knew that they could excavate the coffin at any time in the following time, so they naturally slowed down.
Unfortunately, the quicksand layer was deeper than they imagined. After two days of digging, there was no sign of a coffin.
The unknown is the scariest thing. None of them know what the condition of this ancient tomb is.
Now the quicksand has been dug down to four or five meters, and Li Dagang was laughing out loud just to sell the sand, but they still found nothing.
At this time, the people from the Cultural Bureau responsible for the archaeological excavation became uneasy.
The cost of these two days is not cheap. Not to mention other things, just an excavator costs more than 3,000 yuan a day.
This is still transporting soil, and the sand is free of charge, because the sand was given directly to Li Dagang.
If you speed up, you are afraid of destroying the coffin; if you slow down, you won't see a glimmer of hope.
Without confidence or confidence, and without knowing what situation they will encounter next, these educated people in small counties naturally become anxious and uneasy.
Finally, Qian Dajun was pushed out and asked to find Chen Wenzhe and ask what was going on.
Chen Wenzhe picked up a few large packages in the town, and also sent a few packages by the way, when he was called back by a phone call.
Originally, he planned to check out the antique shops in the town, maybe he could find a blue and white piece from the Qing Dynasty!
Chen Qinglin kept calling him as if urging him to die. As a last resort, Chen Wenzhe had no choice but to take the package and go home.
The package was sent by three classmates. I don’t know what it is, but it is three big packages.
Before he even entered the door, he met Qian Dajun and Chen Qinglin.
"Xiao Chen, did you just come back?"
Qian Dajun naturally smiled when he saw Chen Wenzhe.
Chen Qinglin's face was not so good: "You kid, you don't plan to go to the ancient tomb to have a look? It's been digging for five or six days, and there is still no sign of the tomb. Are you trying to trick people?"
"Second brother, there must be an ancient tomb over there, they just haven't dug it yet."
"Sand is coming out every day. Li Dagang's jaw dropped with joy!"
"Well, the quicksand layer over there is a bit thick, so that's not unusual!"
Chen Wenzhe knows that that ancient tomb is not simple!
