At the beginning, the people in the tribe were very worried about placing such a large swarm of bees within the tribe's walls, fearing that the bees would sting people.
If I just put it outside, I was afraid that such delicious honey would be taken away by other things, so I was in tangle and accepted the fact that bees should survive in the tribe.
After a few days of contact, I found that these bees were busy flying around to collect pollen every day. As long as they did not attack the beehive and directly attack the beehive like Xiaofu did, these bees would not actively attack people. After that, the bees in the tribe
This time people were completely relieved.
There are even many children who stand not far away from the beehive and watch the bees going in and out of the beehive. Some of them can't help but put their fingers into their mouths to suck.
Sweet honey is very attractive to children who like to eat sweets. Just say, if you do a good job, you will drink a bowl of honey water. These guys work harder than anyone else...
…
After the disturbance caused by the bees gradually subsided, the spring planting of the Qingque tribe was basically completed.
The earliest planted millets have already emerged from the ground, revealing their tender buds and receiving the caress of the spring breeze.
Outside the Qingque Tribe, near the river, smoke is rising.
Here are the people who have freed up their hands from the spring planting, where they began to mix mud and make tiles, preparing for the big blue brick house mentioned by the Son of God.
Nowadays, Hei Wa basically no longer intervenes in the matter of making tiles, leaving it to the two people who often help him.
Compared with pottery, which is more demanding, tiles are relatively easy to get started with.
But he was not idle either, he had more important things to do at this time.
Compared with burning tiles, burning bricks is much more difficult. The kiln used for burning tiles is not suitable for burning bricks.
That’s not to say that it’s impossible to bake, but it’s just too labor-intensive.
They tried to burn it once before, and the fire lasted for three days before finally burning the bricks thoroughly.
After spending so much time and materials, only a hundred bricks were produced from one kiln, and half of the bricks were broken after leaving the kiln, making it impossible to use them.
According to this progress, the large brick house that Han Cheng wants to build will really not appear until the year of the monkey and the horse month...
Facts have proven that tile-burning kilns are not suitable for brick-burning. The solution is, of course, to build a new kiln suitable for brick-burning.
The first requirement for a newly built kiln is that it must be large enough to be able to hold a lot of bricks at once, at least more than a thousand bricks.
The second is solidity.
Due to the living environment of later generations, Han Cheng had seen brick-burning earthen kilns. Earthen kilns were not uncommon in that era.
Of course, most of the brick kilns he had seen were abandoned.
In my impression, the appearance of a small brick kiln made with native methods is about four or five meters high and more than fifteen meters in diameter, with a thin top and a thick bottom, similar to a huge tomb.
Inside such a large mound, there is an arched space built with bricks, and there are also arched spaces on the sides, which are used to transport bricks inside and allow people to enter and exit through it.
Inside, the space is relatively large. The bricks that have been made and dried are placed here...
Building such a kiln is also a big project. Even if Han Cheng intends to reduce the kiln in half, it will undoubtedly be a big project for him and the Qingque tribe who only know the general structure but have never done it before.
challenge.
Especially the vaulted roof is something that requires very high technical requirements.
But there isn't much to think about, other than to catch the duck and learn while fighting.
Many things are actually the same. If you don't try it, no one knows whether you can complete it.
For example, the previous charcoal burning and iron smelting were things that Han Cheng had never thought about before. But now that life has come to this point, what can he do? He can only bite the bullet.
Man! You don’t have to do it yourself, you never know how good you are!
After Han Cheng encouraged himself with this emotion, he began to arrange people to do things.
The first is to let some people continue to make bricks, which is very necessary.
At the same time, they asked the two of them to continue firing bricks in a small earthen kiln that was not suitable for making bricks.
There is no other way. The brick kiln to be built later needs to be built with bricks, so we can only bake some in this way first and prepare them for later use.
It's just that the bricks fired in this way are not cyan, but stained with some earthy red.
If you want to bake green bricks, you need a process that cannot be carried out in a small clay kiln that burns tiles.
After doing this for a few days, under the leadership of Han Cheng, some people from the Qingque tribe began to select a site for excavation not too far away from the original small kiln.
A circular pit about eight meters in diameter and one and twenty meters deep was dug out.
After these were completed, it was found that there were not enough bricks fired. After thinking about it, Han Cheng asked someone to cut down some more tree sticks and prepare to build a thatched shed near the earthen kiln.
Of course, this straw hut is not for people to live in, but for the bricks to live in.
Bricks, like pottery clay, cannot be exposed to the sun, especially in summer.
Nor can it withstand the rain.
So Han Chenggong took advantage of this opportunity and asked people to build a straw shed to protect the bricks from wind and rain. In this way, even if it rains in the future, there is no need to worry.
The people of the Qingque tribe are very familiar with things like building thatched huts. After Han Cheng marked out the place for building thatched huts, he basically didn’t have to worry about the rest. The people in the tribe could take care of the rest by themselves.
Everything is done well.
The people of the Original Bone Tribe were once again amazed by the abilities of the people of the Qingque Tribe.
How come they have so many things?
After such emotion, he began to devote himself to all kinds of labor, contribute to the tribe, and at the same time learn these novel skills as soon as possible.
While the people in the tribe were busy with these things, Han Cheng, as the chief engineer, did not sit idle after arranging all the affairs. Instead, he used the bricks that had been fired and kept arranging things. It was a bit similar.
Playing with blocks.
First, two "walls" no more than thirty centimeters high and one meter long were put out. The distance between the two walls was one meter.
Then use bricks one by one to start the vault between the two 'walls' and extend it outward bit by bit.
The vault is an unavoidable hurdle in building a brick kiln, because it is the best choice in terms of load-bearing and heating.
This matter is nothing to those who are used to doing fortress building work, but for a novice like Han Cheng, it is much more difficult.
"Crash..."
The arches extending from the two 'walls' collapsed before they were smoothly connected...
