Warhammer Greenskin Inventor

As the saying goes, Rome was not built in a day. Although Lin Mu has no plans to build a Colosseum for the time being, when enough bricks are fired in the kiln, it is not impossible to consider it.

Early this morning before dawn, Lin Mu woke up from his soft straw bed, climbed out of bed, and went out to summon the goblins who had built the kiln together yesterday to prepare for the kiln firing. Lin Mu personally selected the soil and took a group of goblins with him. Living Mud then ordered the goblins at the lumberyard to carve out some square wooden boxes. Lin Mu personally led Living Mud's goblins to start making clay pots. Lin Mu had to do all of this work himself. , so that the goblins can follow suit and make the pottery Lin Mu wants.

This is the case with goblins. As long as you make it, they will give full play to their green-skinned innate abilities and find their own ways to make it.

Lin Mu placed the living mud on a relatively smooth stone, using the stone as a workbench. He kept beating the living mud on the stone, kneading it, and then kneaded it into a round mud cake. Roll the mud into strips, and place the strips on the mud cake layer by layer to adhere.

For final shaping, wet your hands with water to smooth the inner wall and outer surface, and repair the joints to make sure there are no gaps and set them aside to dry.

The goblins followed suit and started looking for stones around them and started making clay pots.

Lin Mu made a total of one pottery bowl, one pottery pot, and one pottery pot. He stopped and watched the goblins kneading them. Soon, the goblins made some finished products through continuous experiments, and they were very good. Yes, the only unsightly thing is that these pottery pots are unevenly made, some are big and some are small, and each one has the same number. But for the greenskins, only the unique ones are the best, and this is decided not to be allowed.

Lin Mu selected a relatively standard clay pot and ordered these guys to make it according to the pot. The goblin who made the pot supervised these guys and made another batch.

It was still very early, and at noon, a dozen wooden boxes were delivered from the lumberyard. Lin Mu taught the goblins to put mud into the boxes, and then push the mud out from the boxes, one by one. The square bricks were made. After a batch of bricks were made, the pottery pots made earlier were almost dried.

Then start loading the kiln. Three or four hours of pottery firing is enough. Fire now and wait until evening to stop the fire. While Lin Mu directed the goblins to load the kiln, he also carefully placed the three pottery he made. After entering, the kiln installation is also very particular. The fired pottery embryo must be placed upside down in the kiln, so that the firing area of ​​the pottery embryo in the kiln will be the largest, the temperature will be uniform, and the inside and outside of the pottery embryo can be fired well.

After putting all the finished pottery embryos into the kiln, Lin Mu stopped putting pots in the other kiln. He filled the other kiln with bricks and started to put them in the fire pond. Light a fire, Brother Mao is on top, I hope we can produce more finished products.

The three-story kiln room is well designed. The fire pit is in the middle, and the vent is below. The raging flames penetrate through the grate and penetrate into the square kiln room. Orange flames burst out of Lao Gao. The upper entrance of the kiln room. The flames were steaming, and the kiln entrance was sealed with wet branches and mud, leaving only a small observation hole. The goblins used large fans made of animal skins and branches to fan themselves under the fire pond. Every once in a while, Lin Mu would return Let them add firewood.

A group of goblins were busy and it was evening again. Lin Mu walked to the kiln pond and looked inside through the observation port. The fire was fierce and the pottery pots inside were all red. They should be almost ready. They might melt if they continue to burn. .

There is no need to add more firewood now. Let the fire go out naturally and let it cool overnight. Then the kiln can be opened early tomorrow morning to test the results.

Although it was very busy, it was a fulfilling day. After dismissing the goblins and asking them to continue coming tomorrow, Lin Mu returned to his thatched house. He thought that after the pottery was successfully fired tomorrow, he could try to simmer some charcoal and then use Good charcoal is used to burn iron ore.

While thinking about it, Lin Mu also fell into a deep sleep.

After a dreamless night, Lin Mu got up at dawn the next day, thinking about it all the way, and arrived near the kiln pond. After cooling down all night, the kiln wall was still warm, indicating that the kiln had good insulation. It was still very good, Lin Mu couldn't wait to open it and take a look.

With a group of goblins watching, Lin Mu lifted the earthen cover. Lin Mu put his head into the kiln and observed the situation inside the kiln. He saw that all the pots were earthy red. The high temperature caused the pots to The surface is also a little melted, but it is unexpectedly smooth, as if it is covered with glaze, shining with this faint brilliance in the morning light.

At this time, several dwarves with a group of goblins also passed by. Looking at the clay pots that the goblins took out from the kiln, they were also surprised and came forward one after another. Fire Hammer has also been observing these pots in the past few days. On the other hand, I watched these goblins digging holes and playing in the mud, but I never expected that these goblins could still make clay pots. Who taught them.

Seeing Fire Hammer approaching, Lin Mu quickly grabbed him and generously gave each of the dwarves a clay pot. He bent down and whispered to Fire Hammer that the green mushroom wine he brewed some time ago has been consumed in the past two days. It's almost ready to drink. Dwarves are all alcoholics. When they heard there was wine, He immediately became interested. But when he saw Lin Mu's green face, his little sense suddenly took over the high ground.

Tell me, orc, what bad idea do you have.

Seeing that the fire hammer couldn't be lassoed, Lin Mu had no choice but to confess that today he would be making charcoal and making iron. He hoped that after the iron embryo was made, he would ask the fire hammer to make a saw blade for himself, so that he could use it to saw wood in the lumberyard. Lin Mu also promised that as long as the dwarf works hard, he will have wine every day.

To be honest, Fire Hammer was moved, but the dwarf's arrogance did not allow him to agree casually, so he could only say it in a pretentious manner;

Wait until you make the iron, orc.

Then he left with several other dwarves, taking a few clay pots along the way.

The dwarves use coal to make iron. These dwarfs live in caves deep in the mountains and never leave the door. They can all be considered homebodies. After investigation by the dwarves, there is also a man near the Linmu tribe. Lin Mu had not yet had time to mine the small open-pit coal mine, and with the kiln and pond, making charcoal was not complicated. Lin Mu planned to stew a batch of charcoal first, and then use the charcoal to make iron tools before going to mine the coal. Get twice the result with half the effort.

The process of simmering charcoal is actually very simple. You just need to put all the wood into the kiln pond, then cover the kiln pond with mud, leaving a few pores on the top and bottom, and then light the wood from the upwind vent. When the fire reaches the pores below, Then all the pores are blocked, and the wood is allowed to simmer in the absence of oxygen. When the wood is naturally turned off and cooled, it turns into charcoal.
