Survival in the wilderness: full-level archery at the beginning

Building an earthen kiln for firing tiles is actually very simple.

You only need to dig out a U-shaped stove on the ground, and then squeeze out a disc with mud in the middle, and put some small holes like briquettes on it.

In this way, the flames will continue to rise from these small holes.

At that time, the tiles can be burned harder.

The last is a long chimney on the mud. This method is naturally for the fire to burn more vigorously.

There are two methods of firing pottery, one is high temperature firing and the other is low temperature firing.

The temperature and time of the two firing methods are different, and the finished products are naturally completely different.

The temperature of high-temperature firing generally needs to reach between 1200 degrees and 1350 degrees, and the length of firing should reach more than eight hours.

Because the temperature is too high, the requirements for clay are also very high during firing, and once it contains excess impurities, it will easily burst.

The finished product fired by the low-temperature firing method is naturally inferior.

However, this method has too low temperature requirements, and only needs the temperature to reach 700 to 900 degrees.

And the firing time can be completed in more than four hours.

More importantly, this method of firing is less demanding on the clay.

Even if there may be a little bit of impurities in it, it is not easy to cause such a dangerous thing as explosion.

In survival in the wilderness, many conditions cannot be met.

Therefore, many wilderness survivors will adopt the method of low-temperature firing.

After building the kiln, Su Yang began to move the fire pile over.

Then add firewood crazily inside.

If you want to successfully fire pottery, you must have enough firewood.

The requirements for firing tiles are simpler and rougher than those for firing pottery.

So it is estimated that the kiln can be out of the kiln basically in an hour.

Taking advantage of this time, Su Yang also went outside to prepare enough firewood.

Since the tiles are fired today, some other things can be fired.

For example, a washbasin, or some dish basins.

Then, they crushed some of the bones that they had left over and made them into powder.

Because after these bones are knocked into powder, they are applied to the outer layer of adobe during the firing process of pottery, which can play the role of glaze.

Of course, this method only makes them stronger and the waterproof effect is better.

Naturally, it is impossible to make something as beautiful as a handicraft.

Survival in the wilderness is first of all survival, followed by the pursuit of aesthetics.

Maybe he will consider burning these handicrafts when there are enough conditions in the future.

But now, the conditions have not been met, so there is no need to waste time and energy.

After working until noon, the three of them also carried enough clay.

This clay should be enough to fire the required tiles and a few more pots along the way.

Sister Zhou and Sister Dai were also exhausted and out of breath.

After all, carrying soil is a physical activity.

And both of them are girls.

"Su Yang, what should we do next?"

"To be honest, I really don't know anything about firing tiles." Sister Zhou asked after wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"First the living clay, and then the adobe from which the tiles are made."

"After it's almost dried, it can be fired."

While Su Yang was explaining, he was already working on it.

Firing tiles is much easier.

Cut a slightly thicker trunk, about 30 to 40 cm in length.

Then spread the reconciled clay evenly on top.

At that time, it can be divided into three.

If you want to fire other pottery, there are actually many ways.

In the wilderness, the mud strip construction method and the hand rubbing method are generally used more.

Because this method is the most time-saving and labor-saving, and the effect is also very good.

……

After simple instruction, sister Zhou and sister Dai started to make adobe tiles.

And Su Yang also started firing at the side.

In general, adobe is best left to dry naturally.

And it is not easy to burst when it is fired like this.

But Su Yang couldn't wait any longer, he couldn't wait to try it.

First dry all the adobes at low temperature.

The next step is to put all the dried tiles in an earthen kiln for firing.

Because Su Yang made a clay kiln that is not very big.

So only about 15 tiles can be fired at one time.

that's it!
The three burned until dark.

Seventy or eighty tiles have been fired.

Of course, there are also some damaged failures.

"Are you two hungry too?"

"I'll go and cook for us!" Daimei volunteered to cook.

She has been working all afternoon without any rest, and she also feels powerless.

"Ah."

Su Yang nodded.

But he's still firing.

This is the last kiln for tonight! !
After the last kiln was fired, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Damei also made a richer dinner.

The big pot is simmering! !
Pork, pheasant, kelp, bamboo shoots, and all kinds of wild vegetables were all thrown in.

This absolute dark dish!

But it was too hungry, so Su Yang and sister Zhou didn't think about it too much.

After eating, the three of them quickly fell asleep.

After all, it was really tiring after doing physical work all afternoon.

Moreover, Su Yang was still roasting next to the kiln for an afternoon, and he was a little dazed.

……

The next morning, Su Yang got up early.

After waking up this morning, Su Yang felt that the air seemed a little stuffy.

This also made him realize that the situation might be a bit bad.

Generally, if there is such a stuffy feeling, it is very likely that it is going to rain.

They have been on the island for 23 days and it has never rained.

Logically speaking, the rainy season should be entering soon...

If unsurprisingly, this sweltering environment is expected to bring rainfall soon.

And this kind of rain will not be perfunctory.

Su Yang also felt the pressure suddenly double...

Turning his head back to the room, he looked at the sleeping Daimei and Zhoujie.

clap clap! !
He directly slapped their buttocks twice.

"what?!"

"Um?!"

"What happened?"

The two sat up abruptly, looking at Su Yang in a daze.

Know exactly what happened.

I just feel a burning pain in the buttocks.

"Get up quickly, maybe it will rain today, we have to finish building the new shelter."

"Otherwise, we might be drowned tonight."

Su Yang looked at the two people with confused faces, and said seriously.

But I have to say that the feel just now is not bad, full of elasticity.

"All right……"

In a daze, the two of them didn't seem to realize that Su Yang hit them.

As soon as he heard that it might rain, he got out of bed in a hurry.

After that, I hurried to wash up and get ready to work.

"Damn it!! God Su is God Su, it's only natural to take advantage of it!"

"Okay! I learned..."

"Don't learn, you will be beaten to death."

"I'm envious! I also want to touch Sister Zhou and Sister Dai's little Pippi!!"

"Are Sister Zhou and Sister Dumb dumbfounded by a slap in the face? They didn't even realize that they were being beaten!"

"Maybe I'm used to being beaten at night! (The dog's head saves my life)"

"Fuck!! Why didn't I think of that!"

"Looking at Su Shen's skillful movements and the indifferent expressions of Sister Duan and Sister Zhou, you can tell that there have been repeated rehearsals at night."
