My Island Survival in the Wild

Chapter 324 Casting Mold

"In fact, to put it simply, if you grab a handful of sand on the beach, these things are almost completely wrapped in it, so I said that burning glass does not require too complicated theoretical knowledge and process at all!"

"When it comes to the firing process, it is a non-crystalline solid material obtained by gradually increasing the viscosity of the melt of these materials during the cooling process."

"The things fired in this way are brittle and transparent, usually silicate glass!"

"To put it simply, these raw materials are mixed according to the proportion, then melted at high temperature, and then put into the mold to complete."

Lin Xiu quickly finished the whole process of glass firing.

"???"

It's just that even though he has said it in great detail, there are still question marks on the screen in the live broadcast room.

"What the anchor is saying, I don't understand at all!"

"I know the meaning of every word he said, and I don't know what it is when put together!"

"You guys are not smart enough, anyway, I already understand, just burn it with sand!"

The water friends in the live broadcast room quickly spoke.

But for the explanation just now, they can only express their inability to accept it.

"If you didn't understand just now, you can watch the replay more. Besides, this is not a classroom. If you don't understand, you can understand it by watching my next actions!"

Lin Xiu didn't force it, after all, this knowledge is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Without relevant experience, if you want to learn, you can only start with action.

So Lin Xiu began to arrange for Xiong Batian to light the fire, while he put the sand into the furnace.

"Our coal is almost exhausted, and no new coal has been excavated yet, so we will use charcoal to burn glass today!"

Lin Xiu and the others are using charcoal after burning firewood, and the temperature is relatively much lower than when burning cement before.

"Anchor, you are contradictory. Didn't you say that the temperature of charcoal can't reach the level that can burn stone materials?"

"That's right, cement and glass should be used at about the same temperature!"

"Are you guys stupid? The host burned sand today. Isn't the difference in volume obvious at a glance?"

Some of the water friends raised questions, and some spoke for Lin Xiu.

Facing these doubts, Lin Xiu just put the sand in slowly, and then answered.

"Old irons, this thing involves knowledge of melting point and maximum temperature!"

"The melting point of the stalactites used to make cement is 1300 degrees, and the maximum burning temperature of charcoal is 1000 degrees, so I have to use coal!"

"But the melting temperature of these materials used for burning glass today is 800 degrees, and charcoal can completely meet the melting point requirement!"

Hearing Lin Xiu's explanation, the live broadcast room suddenly stopped.

Faced with a person who can quickly tell the melting point and temperature of several different things, people without a little knowledge dare not speak up.

Even some professional professors have no doubts at all.

Because Lin Xiu is not talking nonsense, but is really talking about the data.

This silence lasted for a long time, and soon turned into a reward.

Facing an almighty powerhouse like Lin Xiu, the water friends have no other ideas but worship.

Lin Xiu didn't say any more on this issue, but fired glass while explaining.

Some people who want to learn how to burn glass from him have carefully recorded every process in small books.

Lin Xiu burned more than two tons of sand this time, but because he didn't have a good dust removal technique and solid means, after burning the two tons of sand, he could get up to [-] catties of glass.

But such output is not lower than that of some small factories.

Even in today's advanced technology, most glass factories are still unable to achieve an output of more than 1:0.5.

After filling the sand, and repeatedly using new firewood to burn charcoal, Lin Xiu and Xiong Batian soon smelled of smoke and soot.

"It seems that I have to find an excuse to bring the Universal Forge online, otherwise it will be too tiring every time!"

After the charcoal was enough, Lin Xiu could finally take a breather.

At this time, Lin Xiu lamented how good it is to have a universal forging furnace.

Not only is it completely dust-free and smoke-free, but it is also very fast to manufacture.

But this thing is too shocking to take out now, and it is very inappropriate.

So Lin Xiu had no choice but to work so hard to make it.

After resting for a while, Lin Xiu took Xiong Batian to the edge of the stream, and then dug a pile of very sticky yellow mud.

"The stickiness of these loess is very strong, high-quality loess is even stronger than glue!"

"After our glass is fired, we need a batch of molds to cast the shape of the glass, so loess, which is strong in viscosity and can be peeled off afterwards, is our best choice for molds!"

Lin Xiu explained the use of loess to the water friends, and then began to teach Xiong Batian how to knead molds with loess.

In addition to the windows and the glass of the greenhouse, Lin Xiu plans to make small furniture such as oil lamps, water glasses, table boards, and cabinet doors this time.

This is a test of their mold casting ability.

Lin Xiu has no problem, after all, after being strengthened by the system, many of his skills have become very powerful.

Simple mold casting is not a problem for him at all.

But Xiong Batian is very difficult.

Even after being with Lin Xiu for so long, it can't understand the shape of many furniture.

"You just do what you want!"

Seeing that Xiong Batian really couldn't understand, Lin Xiu said to it.

Anyway, he did it so quickly, even if Xiong Batian didn't help, it wouldn't take long.

And there will definitely be surplus glass today, why not let them make something you like.

After Lin Xiu said so, Xiong Batian could only choose to give up.

It kneaded the loess in its hands into the shape of Xiong Meimei, and soon a Xiong Meimei, about the size of a child, came out.

"Hahaha, Xiong Batian couldn't even pinch a water glass just now, but now pinching his wife is pretty good!"

"Wait a minute and pour it out with glass glue. It's definitely very good-looking. Has the host considered selling figures?"

"That's right, I think the anchor can sell figurines. I'll sell figurines from your Wilderness group. There are tens of millions of fans buying them for you. Isn't it better than Li Ziqi!"

The water friends all admired the exquisiteness of Xiong Meimei pinched by Xiong Batian, but facing their proposals, Lin Xiu could only shake his head.

He is different from Li Ziqi. He not only has a team, but also many domestic manufacturers are staring at her ideas.

As long as Li Ziqi has new ideas, some manufacturers will produce and promote them for her. Anyway, she only needs to name them, and fans are willing to pay for it.

Lin Xiu's situation is completely different from hers. There is no team behind him at all, and no company is looking for him to cooperate.
