When Lame covered the last piece of animal skin from the inside to the newly opened hole and nailed it in with copper nails, the end of this big problem was announced.
"call!"
Push the handle of the cork forward to push the cork forward. After the air is squeezed, the animal skin covering the outside of the first hole is blown open, and the air flows out from there.
At the same time, the airflow generated by pushing the wooden handle will blow the animal skin nailed to the inside of the second hole tightly against the wooden board, completely blocking the second hole, and no airflow will escape from here.
"call!"
The lame arm used force to pull back the cork that had been pushed to the bottom.
As he pulled, the animal skin covering the first hole was firmly sucked to the wooden board, and no air flow came in from there.
At the same time, the animal skin covering the inside of the second hole opens, and the outside air flows in from this opened hole.
Seeing such a scene, Hei Wa's face was full of smiles, his face was a little red, and his hands couldn't help but rub each other back and forth vigorously.
Lai knew what Hei Wa wanted to do most at this moment, so after just pushing and pulling it a few times, he simply handed the wooden handle in his hand to Hei Wa.
Hei Wa took the lame's position, and after taking the wooden handle from the lame's hand, Hei Wa couldn't wait to start pushing and pulling. As he pushed and pulled, his face became more and more rosy, as if he had drunk wine, and he was full of excitement.
Forget it.
After having the wooden bellows made by Lame, Heiwa gave up the plan of making a bellows out of pottery.
Because after comparison, he found that wood was undoubtedly more suitable for making this thing.
Of course, the one you just finished now cannot be used directly, because it is just a test product, it is small, it cannot generate enough wind, and there are still many places that are not perfect.
However, after overcoming these technical difficulties, it will not be difficult to manufacture a large bellows. It is just a matter of imitation.
Of course, the gourd is still there in Jinguan City, and Lame and the others have not seen it yet, but this does not prevent Lame and the others from having this skill.
As Lame started to be busy, the carpenter's room again heard the sound of clanking, saws cutting wood, and planes scraping boards.
Time passed quietly between such noises, leaving scraps and sawdust on the floor, but at the same time, a large bellows also appeared in the carpenter's room.
Compared with the previous smaller test bellows, this bellows that is several sizes larger has undergone many changes.
For example, there is only one hole for air to go out, but it needs to be larger, while there are two holes for air to go in.
However, the two holes are not as big as the one used for venting air.
This is because the pressure is too high when the air is pushed out, and the animal skin is relatively soft. If the hole is too large, it will easily push the animal skin out of the hole.
The side where the bellows handle exists is also equipped with a wooden board to seal the entire bellows.
Of course, there are holes for the handle on the wooden piston to move.
At the same time, the handle installed on the wooden piston has been changed from the original one to the current two.
This is because during the process of pushing and pulling, Lame and Heiwa discovered that only one handle was installed at the center of the wooden piston. When pushing and pulling, the wooden piston would easily become skewed if not handled properly.
If you install two handles one above the other, there will be no such worries.
In order to make it easier to push and pull by hand, a short wooden handle, which is more suitable for pushing and pulling by hand, was installed at the end of the two handles exposed outside the bellows, and the two wooden handles were connected together.
In addition, the wooden piston inside the bellows has also undergone some changes compared to before.
In the past, the wooden piston was made purely of wood, but now the wooden piston is wrapped with a layer of bare leather without hair.
This was mainly because during the pushing and pulling process, Heiwa and Lai discovered that a simple wooden piston could not completely close the gap between the wooden piston and the inner wall of the bellows.
The existence of these gaps means that when the wooden piston is pushed down, a lot of wind will flow upward through these gaps.
If the wind escapes from here, the wind coming out from the opening below will be reduced a lot.
After being wrapped with such a layer of animal skin, this problem is greatly solved.
Although it is impossible to block all the gaps and prevent the slightest bit of wind from flowing upward from here, after such operations, the upward wind has been reduced a lot...
Outside the main Qingque tribe, a huge wooden bellows was being pushed and pulled by people, making a whirring sound.
As the whirring sound sounded, the flames in the kiln kept rising. Even if the weather is cold now, if you get close to here, you will still feel the heat.
Compared with the simple wind gulu made by Han Cheng before, this closed bellows is undoubtedly more convenient and easy to use.
Hei Wa held the handle of the wooden piston of the bellows with his hand and kept pushing and pulling it, sending streams of air into the stove.
In such a freezing weather, there was actually sweat flowing out of his forehead.
Hei Wa didn't care about this. He just pulled the bellows again and again, sending streams of wind down the kiln. He just wanted to make the fire in the kiln burn more vigorously, as if he didn't know how tired he was.
Looking at the blazing flames, Hei Wa's heart also started to burn...
The whirring bellows stopped breathing, and the flames gradually became smaller and extinguished.
The red coals gradually became darker, without any light, and some whitish ash appeared on them.
As time goes by, the coals lose their temperature, and the warm stove gradually becomes cold.
A lot of people gathered around the kiln, including Wu and Senior Brother.
Everyone looked at the kiln, which was not very warm, and then looked at Hei Wa standing beside it. Everyone was filled with anticipation and apprehension.
Hei Wa was even more excited. He had opened the kiln many times on weekdays, but now he felt like he had no idea where to start.
He shook his palm vigorously, took a deep breath, and then went to open the kiln.
With his movement, the closed kiln door was opened, and fine dust flew out from inside, revealing some whiteness.
Hei Wa put his hand into the low-temperature kiln, touched the utensil closest to the edge, and took it out.
When his fingers touched the edge of the appliance, Hei Wa's heart couldn't help but beat violently.
Because the feeling on my fingertips is different from the pottery I have touched before.
Even glazed pottery does not have this smooth feeling.
He suppressed his excitement and carefully took his hand out of the kiln mouth.
Everyone's eyes are on it.
Although they had not seen porcelain before, when they saw the cup that Heiwa took out from the kiln, everyone immediately confirmed that this was the porcelain that Shenzi was talking about!
Because this cup looks so beautiful! So beautiful!
It completely compares to the pottery that already exists in the tribe.
This is a qualitative leap. This leap is so huge that it only takes one glance to tell.
Previously, everyone thought the porcelain was very good just after hearing what Shenzi said. Now when they really saw this piece of porcelain that had just come out of the kiln, everyone realized that this porcelain was even more exquisite than what Shenzi said before!
Hei Wa held the cup with both hands, and there was something called intoxication in his eyes.
He watched carefully, not daring to make any big movements, fearing that he would accidentally damage this exquisite thing.
The rest of the people's eyes were all focused on Hei Wa's hand, full of wonder.
It became extremely quiet for a while, and some people even forgot to breathe.
"Let, let me see..."
After this silence lasted for a while, Wu's voice sounded, making some people tremble slightly.
Hei Wa just woke up from a dream, hurriedly holding the porcelain in his hand, came to Wu's side carefully, and carefully handed the porcelain in his hand to Wu's hand.
Wu took the porcelain that seemed to exude some luster, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. His cloudy eyes became extraordinarily bright at this time.
His rough fingers couldn't help but rub it gently, and he couldn't bear to let go for a while.
After Hei Wa stood here and watched for a while, he realized that there was still something inside the kiln, so he quickly came to the front of the kiln, stretched out his hand again, and took out the porcelain inside.
The rest of the people also gathered around.
A large white bowl, the whole body is smooth and round, and seems to be glowing under the sunlight.
A small spoon is also extremely smooth. If you put it in front of your eyes for a while and look at it in the sunlight, it seems to be a little translucent...
With Hei Wa's careful movements, pieces of porcelain made of kaolin were taken out.
I put my hand on it and flicked it with a little force, and sure enough, there was a nice sound, which was very pleasant to the ear.
However, compared with fired pottery, the yield rate of this porcelain is lower. Only three or four pieces out of ten can be produced, and most of the rest are broken.
But even this is enough to make Hei Wa and the rest of the Qingque tribe happy.
People with a higher status in the tribe can hold a piece of porcelain in their hands and look at it carefully, while people with a lower status can just take pieces of broken porcelain and look at it carefully.
Porcelain is not only beautiful and shiny, but also very hard in texture. The gaps in some damaged areas are relatively thin, and can even be used to cut meat.
The exquisiteness of the porcelain exceeded the imagination of everyone in the tribe, and everyone even felt that such things could only be offered with caution, and it was a sin to use them to hold food.
Wu and some other people even think that such things can be passed down from generation to generation as treasures.
This mentality is actually mainly caused by the fact that the number of porcelain in the tribe is too small, and it is the first time for the people in the tribe to see porcelain.
It will be fine once the number of porcelains fired in the tribe gradually increases and everyone gradually gets used to the existence of pottery.
Because of the appearance of pottery that was too exquisite to be described in words, the Qingque tribe was in a state of extreme excitement and joy for the next period of time.
The witch has taken exquisite porcelain and placed it on the stone platform in front of the totem pole more than once, hoping that the great god would also take a look at such exquisite things.
In fact, rather than showing it to the gods, Wu Geng wanted to tell the good news to the Son of God in Jinguan City as soon as possible, so that the Son of God would know that the porcelain had been fired in the tribe according to his instructions.
It's just that the Son of God is not in the tribe now, and Jinguancheng is too far away from the main tribe, so it is inconvenient to send messages to each other, so the witch has no choice but to place his hope on the very cold God, hoping to hear him chant.
The god of heaven told this very good news to the son of god who was far away in Jinguan City...
In the pottery workshop, Hei Wa and other people who knew how to make pottery were using kaolin clay to make clay embryos here as if they had been given blood.
They wanted to produce more exquisite and unusual porcelain so that all citizens in the tribe could eat from exquisite porcelain bowls.
At the same time, I also want to use this exquisite porcelain to exchange for a lot of food and other things from other tribes.
In the past, pottery could be exchanged for many things from other tribes. Now, this porcelain, which is much more exquisite than pottery, can definitely be exchanged for many, many things!
Just thinking about how his tribe can produce a lot of porcelain bowls with just one kiln, and in exchange for all the food or other things that other tribes have collected for a long time, Hei Wa and the others can't help but think about it.
Full of excitement.
This excitement is even stronger than being able to fire the porcelain itself.
Because of the existence of Han Cheng, the unscrupulous son of God, primitive people who were originally simple and simple in thinking are no longer as simple as before...
Through previous manufacturing and firing, Heiwa and the others have discovered some tips for using kaolin clay to make clay embryos.
For example, it would be very difficult to make the clay embryo as thin as possible, such as when making large pieces of porcelain.
As they continued to work, clay embryos made of kaolin began to appear one after another.
Some people also use tools to scrape off some excess material on the dried clay embryo to make the clay embryo smoother and more shapely.
When a batch of these clay embryos has been made, the kiln will be opened to bake the next batch.
During the firing process, Heiwa never missed a meal.
He has been paying attention to all aspects of the situation, and recorded it in a small notebook according to the method previously instructed by the Son of God, so that he can review it in the future and find out the shortcomings.
In the busy life, time passed by quietly. After dark clouds covered the sky, the dry and cold weather finally ended temporarily.
The whistle wind did not blow, but snow particles fell from the sky, hitting the ground and jumping and rolling.
But when the snow particles gather too much, the newcomers will not be able to jump.
After the snow particles covered the ground with an impure white layer, the snowflakes began to fall.
When heavy snow falls here in the Qingque Lord Tribe, there is still sunshine shining in Jinguan City in the south...
