Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning
Chapter 189: Building an Experimental Kiln
Walking south along the slope for about one kilometer, I finally came to a small hill.
Seeing this small hill, Zhou Yang was a little excited, this place is really a treasure of geomantic omen!
Earth kilns generally cannot be built on flat ground, but neither can they be built on mountains that are too high. Usually, they need to find such a suitable size of mound and build it next to the mountain.
The place Ji Dong brought them to was not high on the mound, and there were no large rocks, so it shouldn't be too difficult to dig down.
More importantly, there is a large area of open land around the mound, which can be used as a later blank making yard.
Turning around the mound, Zhou Yang immediately chose a suitable location, and then let the soldiers start construction.
He first asked the soldiers to dig a large circular pit on the ground, lay the foundation of the earthen kiln with stones, and leave a fire port, a kiln door for loading bricks and a number of chimneys for exhausting smoke from the top of the kiln.
Then let the soldiers tear down a section of the brick wall on the right side of the farm, pull the bricks to this side, and start building the kiln body.
The kiln body of a brick kiln is usually the kind of pot-bellied kiln body, with bricks inside and soil piled on the outside, which is firmly rammed.
Finally, the kiln door!
The kiln is a lot of attention. Whether it is a brick kiln or a porcelain kiln, most of the kiln mouths face east or south.
Because people think that festive events should face south or east, so Zhou Yang opened the kiln mouth to the east, which means that the purple air is coming from the east.
Since what Zhou Yang wanted to build was just a small experimental kiln, it didn't take much effort, and it was built in less than an afternoon.
Building a kiln is just the first step in the Long March. There are still many things to do to produce qualified bricks and tiles.
Therefore, while waiting for the kiln to dry, Zhou Yang immediately led people to select soil to make billets.
The quality of the soil is very important for making red bricks, and Dongquan Farm can be said to have unique conditions for this.
The yellow clay is everywhere near the south slope, which is the best soil for making bricks and tiles.
However, this soil cannot be used immediately, because there are small stones in it, and it must be filtered before it can be used.
This process is relatively simple, you only need to find a sieve of the right size and pass it through it again.
While selecting the soil, Zhou Yang asked people to simply level the open land near the small brick kiln, and chose a spacious and sunny place to place the ready-made bricks.
The next step is mixing mud and making adobes.
Although these tasks are cumbersome, they have no technical content. As long as you teach these soldiers, they can complete them by themselves.
It's just that in order to show the difference in quality between the coal gangue sintered bricks he developed and ordinary clay bricks, Zhou Yang deliberately made two kinds of bricks when making the bricks.
One is the ordinary clay brick produced by other brick yards at present, and the other is the coal gangue sintered brick in which crushed coal gangue, slag and shale foam are added when mixing mud.
The coal gangue was found by Zhou Yang from the corner of the backyard of the farm management office. There was a large pile of it, probably the waste that the management office picked out when it used coal.
Now they were all crushed by Zhou Yang with a roller and brought to the kiln factory.
More than 1000 people have been busy until one o'clock in the morning, and finally made all [-] bricks.
However, the adobe cannot be fired immediately after it is made, because the kiln is not dry, and the adobe also needs to be dried, and it can only be done when it is completely dry.
Normally, it takes 5 to 7 days for the bricks to dry.
But now that the temperature is so high, Zhou Yang estimates that it will be almost the same in a day or two.
Of course, it can't be helped if it can't be dried in the sun. He doesn't have so much time to stay here, so it's almost enough.
Most of the above processes Zhou Yang did by himself, but at the same time let Lin Yi record them on the spot with pen and paper.
There is no way, he only has half a month's vacation, at most he has to go back after helping them burn the first kiln test product, and the rest has to be done by the farm's own people.
And Zhou Yang saw that Ji Dong was a good person, so he asked him to be a recorder, so that he could guide others to build a real big brick yard in the future.
........
Having nothing to say all night, Zhou Yang woke up early the next morning!
What he has to do today is to find fuel for burning bricks and tiles!
Burning red bricks is usually fired with coal, but Zhou Yang is not sure whether Dongquan Farm can get a large amount of coal.
Although he also knows that the farm management office often uses coal for cooking, but the usual small amount of use and kiln firing are two different concepts.
We must know that normally, it takes at least two or three days to burn red bricks.
A kiln may contain hundreds or thousands of catties of coal. The specific amount depends on the number of bricks in the kiln. The more bricks and tiles to burn, the more coal is needed.
All in all, very much in demand!
Therefore, Zhou Yang came to the farm management office early in the morning.
After explaining the situation, Zhang Hanwu immediately said that coal was not a problem.
There is a small coal mine less than [-] kilometers away from Dongquan Farm, and they usually go there to pull carbon.
At that moment, Zhou Yang asked the soldiers from the farm to drive the big Dongfeng truck to the small coal mine.
After arriving at the field, Zhou Yang realized that this place is really not far from Dongquan Farm, and it is only a few ridges away.
It's just that this small coal kiln looks really crude, and it's still in the stage of manual coal mining, so the output doesn't seem to be high.
Right now, there are several large piles of dug coal outside the coal mine, estimated to be hundreds of tons.
Zhou Yang asked the soldiers to negotiate with the person in charge here, while he squatted in front of the coal pile and carefully inspected the coal.
In terms of quality, the coal dug here is not bad!
But Zhou Yang also discovered that there is a lot of gangue in the coal here, and the sulfur content in this coal is relatively high.
It is no problem to burn the stove for cooking, but it is not so good to directly burn bricks and tiles.
Therefore, after buying it back, it has to be made into briquettes.
After some bargaining by the soldiers and under the premise of buying in large quantities, the two parties finally agreed on the price of coal at 1 yuan per ton.
Subsequently, the first batch of 10 tons of coal was directly pulled back to Dongquan Farm by Dongfeng trucks.
After the coal was brought back, Zhou Yang sent it directly to the Nanpo Experimental Kiln, and then taught the soldiers to make briquettes.
The so-called briquettes are similar to briquettes, but because they are the same as the biscuits that people eat, they are called briquettes.
Making briquettes is simple. First, make a wooden mold, and then sieve the picked coal, sieve out the coarse ones, mix it with water into mud, and pour it into the mold.
According to the mold, pull it out, wipe off more coal, and add less coal!
After smoothing, pick up the mold, and repeat this in turn, and a piece of briquette is completed.
After the coal biscuits are collected, they are collected and stacked, and covered with straw mats to prevent rain from getting wet. They are used when burning bricks.
In one morning, Zhou Yang and others made more than 1000 briquettes very quickly.
During this period, Zhou Yang went to look inside the small brick kiln, and found that after a night and a half day of drying, the walls inside were half dry.
If it goes on like this, it will all be done tomorrow.
And the adobe is similar, and it can be used after air-drying for an afternoon at most.
Of course, if you have time, it would be better to put it in the sun for a day or two.
But obviously, Zhou Yang's time is limited now, so he can only make do with it.
Now everything is ready, just waiting for the kiln to be fired!
However, kiln firing is quite particular. The normal kiln mouths are very concerned about the first fire of the kiln. When to light the fire, they have to find someone to calculate it. It takes auspicious days and auspicious times.
Generally speaking, on the day when the kiln is ignited, rich sacrifices, wine and vegetables, and countless firecrackers are prepared to worship the gods.
But nowadays, such things are usually done quietly, and no one dares to come here with a big fanfare. The reason is also very simple. The higher authorities do not allow the promotion of feudal superstition.
As for Zhou Yang and the others, there was nothing to be particular about.
On the one hand, it is because the nature of the units here is different, and no one believes this.
Secondly, because Zhou Yang didn't have the time, he decided to start the kiln to burn bricks as soon as the briquettes were dry.
When the villagers heard that Zhou Yang was going to burn bricks, they were all very excited. This matter soon became the hottest topic in the village!
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Nanpo!
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed.
He took a big gulp of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, puzzled, all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more at a loss.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my own body... How come there is no injury at all.
With doubts, Shi Yu quickly swept his gaze across the room, and finally settled on a mirror by the bedside.
The mirror reflected his current appearance, he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was very handsome.
But the problem is, it's not him!
My previous self was a handsome young man in his 20s who had been working for a while.
But now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu in a daze for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was a success...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a question of whether to have surgery or not, but a fairy art.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be... that he crossed over by himself?
In addition to the mirror on the bedside which was obviously placed in a bad feng shui position, Shi Yu also found three books beside it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look, the title made him silent for an instant.
"Necessary Beast Breeding Handbook for Novice Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Animals"
"Guidelines for Evaluation of Alien Beast Ear Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The titles of the first two books are quite normal, what's the matter with you in the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu's eyes were serious, and he stretched out his hand, but soon his arm stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large amount of memories flooded in like a flood.
