Divine Desert Island Survival System
One hundred and sixty-three, millstone
Outside the shelter!
Zhao Yunxiang brought Han Qianluo to a place on the west side of the bamboo forest!
Here is a stone wall, and the stone texture on the stone wall is basalt!
"Are you going to use these stones to make a millstone?" Han Qianluo squatted on the ground, looking at the huge stones falling from the stone wall.
These stones look very solid, unlike the granite around the shelter, because those stones have been eroded by rainwater and sea water for a long time, and there have been clear fracture layers, like stairs.
However, the huge basalt rock in front of him is a complete whole. This somewhat boxy stone weighs at least 300 catties.
"Yeah, you might not believe it!" Zhao Yunxiang sighed slightly, squinted his eyes, and then sighed.
Seeing this, Han Qianluo twitched his mouth, knowing that Lao Zhao was going to recall again, and whenever Zhao Yunxiang showed such an expression, he would recall!
"Tell me your story..." Han Qianluo raised his eyebrows and pointed in the direction of the dense forest where the monkey was. "I'm going to make wine after a while, lychee wine."
"My grandfather is a stonemason. Because his family is very poor, he often makes millstones for others. After all, he has to support my father, three brothers, and an aunt alone." Zhao Yunxiang said, "Because he made millstones for a long time, he got West pneumonia. , and eventually lead to pulmonary fibrosis, died of illness a few years after retirement, and was tortured for a long time..."
"..." Han Qianluo looked at the hammer and the chisel he had just made with valves, and wanted to persuade him, "Otherwise, let's stop making grinding discs, it's not good for your health."
"It's okay, I have a shield!" Zhao Yunxiang knew that there would be a lot of stone powder in the process of digging the stone, because there was no air gun to blow it, so he could only blow it with his mouth, and the stone powder would inevitably be inhaled into the lungs during this process.
Of course, you don't get pneumonia just once or twice, it's an occupational disease that has accumulated over the years.
I made two small chisels and used two air valves. The air valves are like a trumpet, so they are perfect for chisels.
And after simple heat treatment, forging, and quenching, the hardness of the small chisel is very high.
However, what he was facing was basalt after all, and the hardness of this kind of stone was not a joke. Zhao Yunxiang knew that he could never handle it with just two valves.
Therefore, the stone can only be transported back!
Although the stone was huge, using the principle of leverage, it rolled back to the shelter in a short time!
The work must be carried out in the shelter, who knows if the group of mermaids will suddenly attack!
Although I know that those guys are afraid of the sun and don't like to come and go during the day, and they usually don't cross the coral reefs even at night, but there are exceptions, if those guys come, they will kill the twins in minutes.
"Ding ding... Dangdang..." The huge basalt was vulnerable to Zhao Yunxiang's hammer and chisel, and a large number of stone chips were flying all over the sky.
However, the valve made of steel lost its hardness not long after it was drilled.
After all, it is a hard stone, such a digging method, of course it can't bear it!
"Han Qianluo, go and burn this red, and then use a hammer to smash it to the point, and you have to do a good job of quenching!" Zhao Yunxiang gave Han Qianluo a valve that had lost its hardness and turned into a round head.
She knows how to handle it and does it well in just a few moments!
"Okay, I see!" Han Qianluo immediately came to the mud stove and opened the vent behind the mud stove. As soon as the vent was opened, the flame instantly became bigger, but this time the sea breeze was not strong, and the flame was not like before. So exuberant.
So the heat treatment takes a while...
Zhao Yunxiang made two chisels, probably because of the texture and degree of quenching, the hardness of the two chisels is completely different,
This time I have been digging on the basalt for a long time, and there is no problem with the chisel at all.
"Sure enough, it's still not professional enough!" Zhao Yunxiang will finish digging the back of the millstone on one side, and then continue to process the other side.
The millstone was invented by the ancestors to crush grains through stones full of ravines. This kind of thing is very suitable for making pancakes or something.
At the beginning, the ancients dug a pit on the stone, then threw the collected grain into the pit, and crushed it with stones. This method often resulted in a lot of stone particles.
After all, this kind of impact behavior can easily cause a little cracking of the rocks that are not hard, and it is normal for impurity stones to appear.
However, stones are not easy to pass out of the body, and it is easy to suffer from calculus. Now the calculi are easy to treat. Mild cases only need to be crushed with a machine, and severe cases need to be removed by surgery.
Stone mill was born in Jin Dynasty!
Up to now, you can still see the shadow of the stone mill, most of which are collected, and now the grain processing is mechanized.
After more than half an hour, the stone mill was finished!
Zhao Yunxiang stacked two discs together to form a stone mill, and tested it with some granular pottery shards.
"Isn't this used to crush grain or crush bamboo pieces?" Han Qianluo was a little puzzled after seeing Zhao Yunxiang's operation, "Why do you want to crush pottery pieces? These are soil, right?"
"That's right!" Zhao Yunxiang explained, "We failed to fire pottery last time. There are several reasons. The first is because the pottery is wet and cannot wait for it to dry in the shade. The second is because the quality of the pottery is not enough. If you add some pottery powder, the effect will be greatly improved."
"There is still this kind of operation?" Han Qianluo is quite knowledgeable, but he didn't expect Zhao Yunxiang to know so much.
"Hmm!" Zhao Yunxiang quickly pushed the millstone, while Han Qianluo methodically added pottery fragments, and finally got a lot of reddish-brown powder, which is pottery powder.
After being mixed with the pottery blank, it can effectively prevent cracks in the pottery during firing.
"Lin Qingyu..." Han Qianluo gathered the pottery powder together, wrapped it in leaves, and gave it to the twins.
At this moment, the twins had dug a lot of reddish-brown clay out of the clay pit.
"Mr. Han, what's the matter?" Lin Qingyu asked out of breath, wiping the sweat off her forehead.
"Zhao Yunxiang said that it is not easy to crack when pottery is added." Han Qianluo put the pottery powder on the ground.
Next to the mud pit, there are a few slates. These are all obtained from the box. They are the slates about the island captain's sister-in-law.
It's useless now, just use it to place clay or something, because it's very flat here, and it's not easy to mix it with sand.
Soon, several earthen jars were ready, and Zhao Yunxiang made a very special container himself, like a thickened jar. According to Zhao Yunxiang, this was used to smelt gold!
The wet mud of clay pots was carefully put into the kiln, and now it is time to start the fire, the heat of the flame will gradually take away the moisture in the mud.
The production of this thing can be regarded as omitting a process of drying in the shade, for fear of cracks.
Fire the kiln, seal the kiln!
Zhao Yunxiang washed the pottery powder in the stone mill with sea water! !
"Where are the bamboos that you made in the sun, how are they doing now?" Zhao Yunxiang is about to make bamboo pulp. The first step in making bamboo pulp is to crush the bamboo and make it into powder as much as possible.
However, dry bamboo has extremely low toughness, is very brittle, and is easily damaged. It only needs to be ground for a while, and it can be turned into sawdust. Make bamboo pulp, and then make toilet paper!
