Chapter 1513 Advanced Fire Making Technology

When Li Yi was in Lantian County, he had seen it. No, when he first arrived at Lijia Village, there were things for drilling wood to make fire.

Small bows, wood, and wool grass, generally the wool is mugwort.

Other mugworts such as willow wormwood and water wormwood are the same.

Braid it into a rope, and put the rope in the gap when drilling wood to make fire.

As long as it is not damp, it will be lit in less than half an hour under normal circumstances.

There is no need to put sulfur or saltpeter.

But it is fast, swish swish swish, and the rope of mugwort is ignited.

To make mosquito coils with mugwort, just hang a rope, don't blow it, it will burn little by little.

Once it is blown, it will become a flame.

Even so, the people of the Tang Dynasty are still reluctant to make fire all the time.

A large amount of mugwort is needed to weave the rope, and suitable wood must be found to make it into a similar shape.

People in Chang'an and the counties where the prefectures are located choose to eat out more often, and they have to have stoves at home. The Tang Dynasty did not have chimneys until Li Yi arrived.

Otherwise, they would build stoves outside and burn firewood.

When Li Yi was a child, stoves in rural areas in the northeast were all connected to the kang and had chimneys.

In summer, a stone slab or tile was placed to block the place connected to the kang.

In winter, it was taken up and the fire went through the kang.

In other places, there were outdoor stoves. Who would want to burn fire in the house?

The government of the Tang Dynasty must always have fire. The people wanted to borrow it, and they had to give it to them.

Generally, the big families in the village provided fire to the people in the same village. If there was a family village, it would be more convenient.

What to use to scrape the buttocks when going to the toilet, how to make a fire when cooking, this was the daily life of the Tang Dynasty.

Flint was not available everywhere, and flint needed metal. Iron and copper were obviously not enough.

Many years ago, when Li Yi smoked a dry pipe, he stuffed tobacco into the pipe bowl, held the flint in one hand and the flint in the other, and hit it.

The sparks fell into the pipe bowl, lit the tobacco, smoked hard, smoked a few times, and then pressed it with his hand.

Later, matches were available. To light a match, you still have to press it. You have to press it when you smoke.

Have you ever seen two pipes facing each other? When smoking cigarettes, you can take someone else's cigarette and face it.

You can also smoke dry pipes. Put two pipes horizontally, blow one and inhale the other, and then face it.

Li Yi is considering how to light a fire quickly. Important islands on the navigation line, if it rains heavily for several days.

The wood is wet, it is obviously not ignitable. You drill it, can it be drilled out? Yes, it is guaranteed that you can drill out fire from wet wood.

It's just that the time consumed is different. When the weather is good and the things are dry, it doesn't take dozens of breaths to drill out fire.

What if the weather is bad? Drilling for thousands of breaths, still no fire.

You need a lighter. Don't put so much kerosene in it at ordinary times, because it evaporates too quickly.

Put it in a glass bottle or a sealed iron box.

When you need to light a fire, pour a little, rub it with your thumb a few times, and the flame will appear.

Princess Yongmu blinked her eyes: "Li Lang, you mean to build a lighthouse in the future, so that we don't need to keep fire during the day, and give a lighter, which will save fuel?"

"Yes, let's solve the fire problem first, build the lighthouse, and then use it to promote it.

The natives on every island hope that outsiders will come to communicate and trade.

In their view, the lighthouse is an important tool to connect with the outside world. The more ships there are in the Tang Dynasty, the more they value it."

Li Yi knew the advantages of the Tang Dynasty at this time. In the Age of Exploration, many people actually wanted to go to China during the Ming Dynasty.

"Will you let all places in the Tang Dynasty have lighters when you go back?"

Princess Yongmu didn't know the importance of fire. Even if she couldn't eat braised pork before, she was still of noble status.

Xiaolan knew that when Princess Yongmu needed fire when she was a child, she was responsible for solving it.

She herself had a tool for drilling wood to make fire, and a flint.

"Li Lang, the lighter is too expensive."

Xiaolan took the bow from the female leader, looked at it, and shook her head. The design was not reasonable enough.

"Make matches. When I go back, I will get a set of equipment that can be made with current technology. This is the technical reserve in the village, not my exchange.

Make red phosphorus and other things, and then make matches. It's done in one step. There is no technical difficulty. It only depends on the sealing during processing."

He didn't want to use white phosphorus. White phosphorus matches are indeed easy to use. They can be lit by scratching on clothes.

Red phosphorus ones are not good. Red phosphorus matches can be scratched on... glass blackboards.

He did this before. He took matches to the classroom and had to scratch on the glass blackboard.

He also did another kind of immoral thing. The school used to scrape white, not paint.

Spit on the wall, and use the back of the match to scrape the white paste. After scraping, the butt of the match was covered with white paste.

Light it, throw it on top, there is a shed on top, the white paste sticks to it, the match burns, and burns out a big black circle.

The shed is the most in the toilet, and everyone plays like that.

Later, when he grew up, he finally realized that what he did before was not a human thing.

What's the point of burning the shed? What did you think at the time?

"It's the past, there's no point regretting it. When we make matches, we have to ensure the health of the people who make them.

In fact, white phosphorus is also OK, it's just toxic, it's normally kept in a container, the temperature doesn't reach the natural critical point.

But adding a process to make it red phosphorus is safer, the production cost in the manor is a bit high, take your time."

Li Yi said to himself, what should I do if I make a mistake when I'm young? I can't just die, right?

Even if someone called the police, they couldn't do anything to you. They just taught you a lesson! Don't play like this anymore. Find your parents.

If you have a choice, you can help scrape the white hair yourself. Don't find your parents. It hurts too much to be beaten.

Princess Yongmu didn't know that her Li Lang had been through so many things. She looked at the bow for drilling wood to make fire: "Li Lang, how can we improve it?"

"Ah? Ah!" Li Yi came back to his senses. UＵReading www． uukanshu.net

"No need to change it. Aren't we given new tools? Process the wood for drilling wood to make fire well, which will save effort. I'll ask them to do it."

Li Yi knew how to make it more convenient. Cut the wood into small pieces according to the texture, and then punch out the notches and holes.

The drill head is processed with a knife, and combined with the bow, it is an "advanced" thing that can drill fire in less than twenty breaths.

He found the tools, clicked a few times, and finished the modification, and signaled the female leader to drill.

The female leader didn't have mugwort. She used hay, which didn't smell as good as mugwort.

She pulled the bow, smoke came out, and then blew carefully, and flames appeared in the smoke.

Throwing away the fire, she looked up and smiled, it really worked.

Xiaolan pouted beside her, it was really backward, even drilling wood to make fire was more difficult than the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty still used metal mirrors to make fire.

Now Lijiazhuangzi specializes in making solar furnaces for ships and troops.

What is a match? Is it more convenient than a flint? What about a lighter?

"Our industrial foundation is too poor. This time I go back, I have to think of a way to continue teaching." Li Yi is not proud.

What can we compare with the natives? Compared to my time, a pack of ten boxes of matches was wholesaled for more than 30 cents.

With the current technology of Lijiazhuangzi, is three strings enough to make a pack of matches?

To make it, you must extract a lot of white phosphorus at one time, and then use white phosphorus to make red phosphorus. The equipment is not difficult.
