Chapter 344

The slave nodded again.

The new slaves were quite surprised and asked only one slave to take them to fetch water. Isn't this man afraid of them running away?

Ah Zhan, you can get some big water tanks, and when they get the water, put them in the tanks first, and then come out through the wall. "

Yan Mo finished looking for Yuan Zhan, and then pointed to the new slaves. You leave four people responsible for lighting the fire, boiling water and cooking food. When the people come back, let them eat their fill first, and then let everyone wash their bodies, Ding Ning, you responsible for this. "

Yes. "

The new slaves can already be sure at this time that the master this time is more merciful, which makes them greatly relieved, at least in a short period of time, they don't have to worry about being eaten as a two-legged sheep.

Ding Fei, you put the people on the table over there, and I will go upstairs with me to get fifteen sets of clothes later, and when they wash themselves, put them on. "

Yes. "

After Yan Mo finished his instructions one by one, he took Ding Fei upstairs, put the boulder under his feet, and took out fifteen sets of fur garments with poor quality from his pocket to give to Ding Fei.

Yuan Zhan followed, bent down and picked up the cobblestone again, what the hell is this? "

Yan Mo saw that there was no one around, so he no longer hides it from him. Look carefully first, and see what the outer layer of the boulder is made of. "

Outside? "Yuan Zhan bowed his head. He didn't notice that there was still a universe in this cobblestone because of his rejection.

And as soon as he used his heart and ability, he soon discovered the special features of this cobblestone.

This cobblestone is really divided into two layers, the outermost layer is covered with a layer of very delicate white soil.

No, it wasn't completely free of cracks. Yuan Zhan held the boulder in one hand and turned around, and under Yan Mo's guidance, he found a crack.

The outer layer of hard mud at the crack may have shattered and fell off due to bumps or the like, exposing the inner layer.

It turned out that the crack was very small, and I pulled it big. "The gap is now the size of a thumb.

This is? " Yuan Zhan lightly touched the small exposed smooth surface with the tip of his finger.

The surface of the cobblestone is already very smooth, but the exposed thumb is a small piece, it looks more delicate than smooth, slightly cold, and has a bit of luster. It is a material that he has never touched.

Yan Mo didn't care that the clay on the surface of the cobblestone was still engraved with patterns, he took out his knife and would scrape off the fine white clay wrapped around the sphere.

and many more! "Yuanzhan didn't want his priests to destroy his family's sacred objects and attract his god's curse. We don't know what's in the cobblestone yet."

I know. "

Um? "

When I first saw this cobblestone, I thought it was gypsum, but unfortunately, when I got closer, I found out that it was not. I was overjoyed, but I saw that the boy attached so much importance to this cobblestone, and I thought that this cobblestone must have something extraordinary. , I picked it up and looked at it carefully. "This is also Yan Mo. If it is other priests and witches, if they guess the identity of the youth, they will definitely not move when they see this strange round stone with strange patterns. They would rather let it go than give it to him." Bring back a possible threat and curse for yourself and your clan.

Then I found where this piece fell off. "Yan Mo poked the crack and smiled: No one might recognize what's inside, but I can see it at a glance."

In fact, he didn't know how much he had been exposed to in his previous life from childhood to adulthood.

What's inside? "

Porcelain ball. "

Porcelain balls? " Yuan Zhan, who had never heard of such a thing, flicked his fingers on the surface of the cobblestone.

Porcelain, in short, is an object made of clay and then calcined with fire. But I thought I would see pottery first, but I didn't expect to see porcelain first. "This is what Yan Mo couldn't figure out before.

pottery? "

I remember that the method of making pottery should be similar to that of porcelain, but the calcination temperature is different, the pottery is thick and rough, and the porcelain is beautiful. "

What's the use of this thing? "

It is very useful, the simplest can be used as household utensils, pots and pans can be used for this. "

What's the use of this? It can also be done with stone and wood, at best it looks better. "

That's because you have the ability to control the soil, and you think it's easy to dig out a stone pot or cut out a plate with a stone, but what about people who don't have the ability to control the soil? Porcelain needs high temperature aside, for pottery only, it is not difficult to make, and it is not difficult to find materials. Just shape it and put it in the fire. If you are lucky, you can burn at least half of the utensils that can be used. "

Burn with fire? "Zhan Yuan felt something was touching his nerves, and he subconsciously thought it was important.

Yan Mo is still introducing the benefits of ceramics. After all, there are very few Divine-Blood Warriors, especially not many warriors who can control the soil. Although the utensils that everyone made when training their abilities are currently enough for everyone in Jiuyuan, but I want to If you want to turn it into a commodity, if you want to manufacture it in large quantities, it is not as good as ceramics. First of all, their appearance can be much better than that of stone tools, and have you ever found that some stone tools will slowly seep and drain the water inside because of the material? But calcined ceramics do not, and stone is heavier than ceramic.

In addition, ceramics can not only be used to make household appliances, such as bricks and tiles, pipes, and insulators that can withstand current, that is, lightning in the sky, can be made of ceramics. If you know the calcination formula, you can even calcine a weapon that is harder than...stone, not just a weapon, it can also become the best shield. "

Yuan Zhan couldn't understand some words, but it didn't prevent him from understanding Yan Mo's meaning. Hearing the last two sentences, the mysterious door that had opened a gap in his mind was slammed open.

Fire, hard, can be a weapon and a shield...

Since he can repel the water in the soil, turn the fertile land into sandy land, and also turn the land near the water source into a swamp after introducing water flow, why can't he mobilize the exuberant fire energy in his body to burn Soil he can manipulate?

If he does not use the soil control ability in large quantities and in large areas, but instead uses the flames in his body to calcine a little soil to make them harder and even sharper, is this feasible?

silent. "

Um? "

You say soil can be hardened by calcination? "

right. "

Can it be stronger than our city walls? "

Yan Mo's understanding of ceramics is the things on the surface. He remembers that special ceramics can be used for bulletproofing and bullets. There are also many special ceramics used in aviation building materials. Thinking of this, he nodded irresponsibly. Dao: Yes, and it doesn't need to be so thick to be stronger than our city walls. "

Yuan Zhan's understanding of ceramics has entered a somewhat distorted area. He believes that all soils can be calcined, and as long as he finds the right method, he can turn soil into the most terrifying weapon and shield on this land.

Yuan Zhan exerted a little strength on his hand, and the hard clay layer on the surface of the porcelain ball shattered, revealing the original appearance of the porcelain ball inside.

This is a round sphere smaller than a football, the color is similar to milk, and it is crystal clear and lustrous.

At the moment when you are used to seeing stone tools, such a porcelain ball is like a polished gem, and everyone who sees it can't help but be attracted to it.

Only then did Yan Mo realize that the milky white and crystal magnetic ball was not particularly perfect. There were many imperfections on it that were not burnt. Those flaws were dotted and there were also some porcelain cracks. Looking at the sun, it was true. Some mystery.

Mo, you are right, this is indeed a good thing. "Yuan Zhan gently stroked the surface of the porcelain ball, the smooth feel made him very novel.

Yan Mo didn't know that the reason Yuan Zhan said it was a good thing was to help him light up another important skill point. He nodded as a matter of course: Of course it's a good thing. If we can calcine porcelain, we can use them as a product in the future. As the main barter, this thing does not need to worry about being used against us by others, nor is there any fear of technology leakage, the raw materials are not rare, and it is beautiful, elegant and useful. It is simply the best as a barter. "

So do you fire ceramics? "

I don't know how to do it, I can only say that I probably know how to do it, and I haven't done it. "

So do you think the tribes of slaves that were exchanged today would be able to fire ceramics? "Knowing the preciousness of ceramics, Yuan Zhan didn't want to let people other than Jiuyuan master this ability. He even thought that if he knew how to burn ceramics, he would kill the boy and all those slaves.

I have no idea. "Yan Mo is also not quite sure: if they know how to make ceramics, it is impossible for the Heishan people who caught them to not use the ceramics they made as barter, and even if they are reluctant, they cannot use it themselves. "He had carefully observed this point before.

Then how could they have this porcelain ball and treat it as a fetish? "

This needs to be divided into two questions. First of all, let's look at the source of this porcelain ball. There are two possibilities. First, someone rolled a ball with mud for fun, and then the ball was forgotten somewhere, and then a fire broke out, perhaps caused by lightning, or a fire in the fire pit. In a closed environment, it was calcined into porcelain by fire. Second, this porcelain ball was artificially created.

In any case, if no one can explain the reason, people see that the fire is extinguished, and a porcelain ball with a round, shiny, smooth and delicate surface appears inside, and the first impression is likely to be a gift from God. "

Yuan Zhan thought that Yan Mo's analysis was very reasonable, so the surface of this porcelain ball is still covered with a layer? "

Yan Mo smiled and raised two fingers, there are two possibilities. First, the person who discovered the porcelain ball probably felt that this fetish could not be seen directly, so they wrapped it with soil. Second, out of the protection of the porcelain balls, for example, the Black Mountain people did not see that there was a precious porcelain ball in this cobblestone. I think the possibility of protection is the greatest. Even from a long time ago, they covered up its true appearance in order to keep this God-given thing. Look at this porcelain ball. Its surface is covered with a layer of white clay. The clay doesn't look like it's newly wrapped, and there are not too new patterns on it. "
