Hei Wa squatted on the side, pushing and pulling a stick in his hand hard.
Tied to the other end of the stick is the pot lid that Heiwa obtained in exchange from his spouse Zhuang after putting in strenuous labor.
The size of the pot lid is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylinder.
In order to gather the wind together as much as possible and send it into the stove, after completing this, the stone was still in the shape of the wind gulu that the son of God had made before, and a clay pipe was put on the air outlet, and it was connected all the way.
Extends to the edge of the stove.
Moreover, the clay pipe becomes thinner toward the stove.
The joints between several pottery pipes are sealed with pottery clay to prevent them from leaking air.
"call!"
Hei Wa pushed the stick in his hand hard, and the force acted on the pot lid, and the pot lid was pushed to the other end of the large clay tube.
Following his movement, wind surged out from the pottery tubes and led all the way to the stove along the passage formed by several pottery tubes.
Air rushed into the stove, and the flames suddenly became larger.
If you just look at this, Heiwa's invention is still very successful and has great practicality.
But as Heiwa pulled back the pot lid that had been pushed to the bottom, a problem arose.
As he pulled out, the flames in the stove suddenly became much smaller. If he pulled harder, the flames in the stove could even be sucked into the clay pipe...
This result was obviously not what Heiwa wanted. After pushing and pulling here with different strength for a while, he finally gave up pushing and pulling again and began to squat here holding his head and thinking continuously.
Judging from the reaction of the fire in the stove when he pushed it out just now, his idea was undoubtedly very successful.
The only problem that needs to be solved now is how to prevent the pot lid from absorbing the air from the stove when it is pulled out.
After Hei Wa squatted here and thought for a while, he stood up and started to remove the mud from a joint of the ceramic pipes connected together, and pulled them out to leave some space between them.
Then push the 'pot lid' again to send air into the stove.
When pulling it out this time, the flames in the stove will no longer be sucked into the ceramic tube, but new problems will also arise.
That's because of the existence of this opening, a lot of the air pushed out with the 'pot lid' escapes along this crack, and the flames don't burn as intensely as before.
After pushing and pulling like this for a while, Heiwa stopped again, squatting on the ground and staring at the crack between the two pottery pipes, thinking about life.
It would be good if the gaps between the pottery tubes would come out when you push the air in, and the gaps between the pottery tubes would come out when you pull the 'lid' back.
He thought this and operated it manually several times.
But this kind of thing that relies on manual operation is too troublesome.
It's such a waste of time, and the air flow into the stove is inconsistent at all.
After working back and forth like this for a while, Hei Wa gave up the idea and continued to squat here and think about life.
It would be nice if people didn't need to use their hands to operate it, and the gap would automatically close and open as people push and pull.
This way you won’t have to go through such trouble...
Hei Wa thought with longing.
But he knew that such a thing would be very difficult to achieve because the idea seemed so unrealistic.
It would be great if the Son of God were still in the tribe. The Son of God is so wise. He would definitely have a way to solve the problems he is encountering now...
Hei Wa once again thought of Shen Zi who went to Jinguan City to lead people to develop and construct the city.
After thinking like this for a while, Hei Wa shook his head again.
The Son of God is so busy, and I can't always think of letting the Son of God solve everything.
And this matter is related to the firing of porcelain. I am the most powerful person in the tribe in making pottery...
With this thought in mind, he continued to think of ways here and verified his ideas through some operations, but none of them were successful.
That night, Heiwa stayed here until late at night before going back to sleep, but still couldn't come up with any good solution.
At night, Hei Wa, who had been lying on the kang for a long time, undoubtedly suffered from insomnia.
Taking this natural sleeping pill to solve insomnia seems to be a skill that many people know and can learn without a teacher.
After shaking Zhuang awake and letting Zhuang feed him a dose of sleeping pills, Heiwa, whose mind was buzzing with confusion, quickly fell asleep...
The next day, Hei Wa, a master of pottery, came to the carpenter's room and told Lame about the problems he encountered and some possible effects if the problem was solved. He wanted Lame to help him think about it together.
Let's see if we can solve this problem.
After all, Lame makes more things, and many of them are very complicated.
After hearing what Heiwa said about this matter, Lai's interest was immediately aroused. As a carpenter who was not in a high position, Lai's favorite thing was all kinds of difficult things.
Although in the process of solving the problem, people may feel very painful. When it is serious, it may even make people want to fight for the ground. But what I have to say is that after all kinds of efforts, when the problem is finally solved,
That feeling is really great!
Not to mention the refreshing feeling, it is like drinking fairy wine, which is enough to make people ignore the difficulties that may be encountered in this process.
So Lame agreed without much hesitation, saying that he and Heiwa would work together to find a solution.
Lame is a carpenter, so when solving problems, he will naturally think from the perspective of a carpenter.
Together with Hei Wa, we watched the simple device that Hei Wa made, and after understanding the principle of this thing, after staying here for a while, Lame returned to the carpenter's room.
After sitting in the carpenter's room and meditating for a while, he began to jingle and jingle with the tools.
After a while, a hollow cuboid appeared in Lame's hand.
The reason why he made it into a rectangular shape was because he had tried to make something like a round barrel out of wooden boards before. He knew that it was very difficult to make these things with wooden boards, so he chose a rectangular shape.
Anyway, Hei Wa already understood the principle and function of the appliance he wanted to make, so it didn't matter if he replaced the hollow cylinder with a hollow rectangular parallelepiped.
Placing the cuboid with no seals at both ends on the ground, Lai began to use a saw to cut off the wooden boards. He imitated the one made by Heiwa and installed a long-handled 'pot lid', creating a one that could be placed in the middle of the hollow cuboid for push and pull.
something.
After it was done, I put it inside and pushed and pulled the other end a few times, but the effect was not good.
The main reason is that the other end is not sealed, and if the control is not good, the piston-like thing will come out from the other end.
So Lame found a piece of wood and sealed the other end of the hollow cuboid.
After sealing it, I tried pushing and pulling it, and the effect was good.
This piston-like thing will never go out from the other end.
But at the same time, the pushing wind will not go out from there, and will flow upward along the gap between the wooden piston and the inner wall of the wooden box.
It was difficult to deal with such a thing, so after pushing and pulling it a few times, he used the tools to make a hole in the bottom of the wooden box for ventilation.
With this hole in place, it immediately becomes much easier to push and pull.
At this point, the problem that Lame needs to face is the same as that that Heiwa needs to face, which is how to solve the gap or the automatic closing of the hole at the bottom of the wooden box.
This is also not an easy thing to solve for lame people.
If it was really that easy to solve, Hei Wa wouldn't be embarrassed to come to him for help.
After lamely working in the carpenter's room for a day, and exchanging opinions with Hei Wa, who worked for a day in the manufacturing workshop, I still had no inspiration and could not find a solution.
The transfer occurred the next day.
The chilly wind blew by, and the persimmon leaves, which had turned red but still stood tenaciously on the branches and refused to fall, swayed left and right in the cold wind.
After a lot of struggle, he finally couldn't resist the entanglement of the cold wind and swirled down from the air.
A minor dressed like a small round ball ran over and picked up the fiery red leaves and held them in his hands, jumping around randomly and giggling with laughter.
After playing with it for a while, some minors developed new ways to play it.
That is to put the leaves under the nostrils, inhale and stick the leaves to the nose to prevent them from falling, and see who can inhale for the longest time.
Of course, this can only be done by inhaling hard, and mucus stuck in the nose does not count.
Otherwise, some minors with innate skills like Er Chong will definitely win.
When these children play this game, they need to clean their noses first.
His mind was full of how to solve the problem. He shook his groggy head vigorously and stopped thinking about this matter. Instead, he focused his attention on the children here and watched them playing games with a smile.
Come and change your mood and become calm after all.
After watching like this for a while, Lame's eyes suddenly lit up, as if something flashed through his mind, bringing out some light.
He watched these children laughing and playing here with excitement, and his heart became brighter and brighter. He gradually caught the thing that was passing by.
After standing here for a while, he ran back to the carpenter's room as fast as the wind. Even a normal person with nimble legs and feet could hardly match his speed.
After returning to the carpenter's room, I sat here lamely and thought for a while before taking action.
Instead of using the tree leaves that inspired him, he cut out a small piece of bare animal skin.
The hide is larger than the hole in the bottom of the wooden box.
After a lot of manipulation, the lame general nailed the piece of animal skin to the hole with copper nails.
Of course, it was not completely nailed, only one side.
After nailing it, Lame stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the wooden piston, and then pushed it forward with excitement.
As he moved, the wooden piston was pushed forward, and the air was squeezed to form wind, which blew open the animal skin covering the wooden hole, allowing the air inside to flow out smoothly.
After pushing the wooden piston to the bottom, Lame pulled it upward again.
The effect is exactly as expected.
Because this small piece of animal skin itself was nailed to one side with copper ingots, it was basically covered on it even if it was stationary, with only a few gaps exposed.
So as Lame pulled the wooden piston upwards, the small piece of animal skin immediately stuck to it tightly, making it a perfect fit.
Such a discovery made Lai extremely happy, because he had actually created a tool that could automatically open or close the gap as people pushed and pulled it.
But this joy did not last long, and new problems soon emerged.
That is, after the opening is completely blocked, it will become laborious to pull back the wooden piston.
The force used is small and the movement is relatively slow. If the force is too much, the other side of the softer hide will even be sucked into the inside of the wooden box from the outside.
After inhaling the inside, it is impossible to let it open and close with push and pull as before.
Such problems can only mean one thing, that is, this tool is not ready yet and needs to be improved.
"Try making another hole at the bottom."
After hearing the news from the pottery workshop, Hei Wa was excited and pushed and pulled the wooden piston for a while. He also fell into deep thought and began to think about how to solve this problem with Lame.
After thinking about it for a while, he tentatively spoke.
There was no good solution for me. After thinking for a while, I decided to try the method Heiwa said.
He pulled the wooden piston completely out of the wooden box, then picked up the axe, and started to use the chisel to open a hole not too far away from the hole.
It didn't take long for a new hole to be dug out.
Installed the wooden piston and pushed and pulled it back and forth a few times, but the problem was not solved.
After having this hole, it is easier to pull the wooden piston back, and the animal skin covering the outside of the first hole will no longer go in, but other problems will also appear.
For example, when the cork is pushed forward, most of the wind generated escapes from the newly opened hole.
However, things have reached this stage, and the remaining problems will definitely be solved. It is just a matter of time.
Sure enough, it didn't take too long before Lame tried to bind the leather to the newly made hole.
At first it was stapled on the outside, but it soon became apparent that this didn't help.
So I took off the piece of leather, covered it from the inside over the hole, and then nailed it to one side with a copper nail...
