Chapter 128
The three spent a whole day at the pottery base.

From sunrise to sunset, everyone was so tired that they couldn't even lift their hands. At the end, when they looked at the three newly made large water tanks, the sense of accomplishment was incomparable.

Back in the cave, because they were too tired, they finished their dinner hastily, and the three of them went to sleep separately.

In the next few days, it will be time to dry pottery blanks. Fang Fang will go to the pottery firing base to take a look at the pottery firing base every day before and after work.

These three large water tanks are like the three children of the three, entrusting their full hopes and enjoying the most meticulous care.Fang Fang was worried that the animals on the island, mainly the big ram, might destroy the water tank, so he specially made a wooden fence to protect the water tank.

Not only that, every day when Fang was working, he stared at the sky of the island. Once he saw dark clouds drifting over, he became cautious and was ready to move the water tank into the awning at any time.

In this way, three days passed, and everyone was full of anticipation, and finally the time for firing came.

The three water jars have become dry and hard, and the final step of firing from clay to pottery is still missing.

Fang used the prepared wood to stack the three tanks inside. In order to make the core temperature higher, he also specially filled the tank with wood.

When everything was done, there were three tall piles of wood on the ground, and all the water tanks were buried in them. Fang Fang, Li Qingman and Song Zhixi lit the wood together, and the flames rose very quickly. Started to burn.

Looking at the three to four meter high flames, regardless of the scorching heat, the faces of the three of them were full of anticipation.

This time everyone didn't go anywhere, and put aside all their work, just waited intently on the sidelines until the fire burned down.

The flames were extinguished, and the ashes still exuded overwhelming heat. Fang Yuan couldn't wait to come to the front of the three large water tanks, wanting to see the firing results this time.

"No way..." Seeing the first tank, Fang Fang's excited face froze instantly.

"What's wrong?" Li Qingman and Song Zhixi also rushed over.

"Cracked……"

Equation couldn't hide his disappointment.

Although the overall appearance of the first tank was not damaged, it could be clearly seen that there were several cracked lines on the tank wall. With such lines, there must be no way to hold water. This is not the result that the three of them wanted.

Li Qingman said: "It's okay, we still have two."

Song Zhixi also said: "Well, let's go and see the other two, maybe they all burn successfully."

"hope so."

The equation no longer had the confidence it had at the beginning.

The difficulty of firing large pottery and small pottery is completely different. For large pottery like a water tank, the viscosity of the soil and the thickness of the pottery blank all have high requirements. If something goes wrong in any link , the result presented will be as you see now.

Coming to the second vat, Fang Fang removed the ashes on it. From the appearance, the firing effect of this vat was better than that of the first vat. At least there was no crack on the vat wall.

In order to further verify whether this cylinder is qualified, Fang Fang knocked on the cylinder wall twice vigorously.

"Crack..."

As a result, Equation's face immediately collapsed.

He just wanted to see if the water tank was firm these two times, but he didn't expect that the inside of the seemingly intact water tank had already cracked, and it was broken into several pieces in an instant with such an external force.

The corners of Li Qingman and Song Zhixi's eyes twitched slightly. This result was beyond their expectations. They were full of hope at first, but now they saw their hope shattered with their own eyes.

"It's okay, we have the last one left."

This time Li Qingman was also a little shaken, it seemed that maybe there was really no way to burn out the water tank.

Equation has long been dejected, and there is not much hope for the remaining one.

Seeing that both of them looked listless, Song Zhixi smiled and encouraged him: "Don't be discouraged, maybe the last one will succeed, and you should do the last one, Qingman."

"Yes..." Li Qingman nodded.

"Aren't you the one who has the most confidence in yourself? Why have you been shaken before you've seen it?" Song Zhixi patted Li Qingman on the shoulder.

Li Qingman forced a smile, brought up the last ray of hope in his heart, and came to the big water tank that was blackened by fireworks.

Song Zhixi said encouragingly: "Knock, knock."

"Ah."

Li Qingman nodded his chin, then knocked hard on the outside of the water tank a few times.

As a result, a few "bang bang" sounds made the three of them stunned in place. If such a sound can be made, it means that the large water tank has been fired successfully.

Only pottery can make such a sound. Although the sound just now was a bit dull, it is the sound from such a big water tank.

"Success!"

"Great Qingman, you succeeded!"

For a moment, Fang Fang and Song Zhixi were ecstatic, cheering for this successful water tank.

Li Qingman held her nose, her eyes were already wet and red, she didn't expect that her water tank was actually fired successfully, this sense of accomplishment was happier than achieving any performance indicators in the company before.

"I succeeded?"

"Yes, you succeeded!"

The three of them were so excited that they couldn't express it, they hugged each other tightly. The success of this water tank was not only a matter of a single water tank, but also meant that all the efforts of the three of them for the pottery for so many days were not in vain.

As long as they master the technology of firing large pottery, the life of the three of them on this island will become easier and more comfortable.

"what about now?"

Li Qingman's mind went blank with excitement, not knowing what to do next.

Fang Fang laughed and said, "It goes without saying, of course this big tank is used to hold water." After that, Fang Fang first buckled the water tank over, poured out all the burnt plant ash in it, and cleaned the inside of the tank Clean it, and pour all the remaining water in those small clay pots.

From the process point of view, this is the real last step. Only after a water seepage test can it be determined whether the tank has been fired successfully.

The three of them stared intently at the outer wall of the water tank, feeling unbearably nervous. After just a few minutes, there was no seepage of water droplets on the outer wall of the water tank, and the water inside did not decrease significantly. Everything was moving towards the ultimate goal. Good direction.

"It's done, this time it's really done!"

After a few more minutes, there was still no change inside and outside the water tank. Until this moment, the three of them were finally able to confirm that this was a water tank that could be used normally.

Fang Fang couldn't wait to pour out the water inside, and then he carried the water tank on his shoulder and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

Li Qingman and Song Zhixi asked together.

Fang Fang didn't turn his head back, he laughed and said, "Why are you still standing there, I'm going back to the cave!"
