    As mentioned earlier, if Xiao Likai agrees to this work, he and his personal freedom will be subject to certain restrictions, including that his family will also be monitored and may even be in danger.

    Meng Zitao mentioned some possible serious consequences and hoped that Xiao Likai would consider it carefully and not make a hasty decision.

    Xiao Likai smiled, waved his hand, and said only one sentence: "I believe you."

    These four simple words expressed Xiao Likai's trust in him. Meng Zitao was very moved and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, I am very grateful for your trust, but this is a major decision. I suggest you keep it with your family."  Let¡¯s discuss it with others and at least let them be mentally prepared.¡±

    Xiao Likai did not agree: "It's better not to tell them this kind of thing. If you tell them, they will make their minds wander. Sometimes ignorance is a blessing. I just want to ask, after I agree, will it have any impact on their daily lives?  "

    "No, generally they only monitor their communications and the like. It is difficult for them to detect. Only when there are suspicious circumstances will they use personnel to track them."

    Meng Zitao said: "Also, let me remind you in advance that the management at the kiln factory will be stricter by then."

    Xiao Likai smiled and said, "I don't have a problem."

    Meng Zitao was also happy that he didn't have to waste time, and later signed a new agreement with Xiao Likai.

    "Mr. Meng, can I see the information now?" Xiao Likai couldn't wait.

    "Okay." Meng Zitao took out the information he had brought with him and handed it to Xiao Likai.

    Xiao Likai wiped his hands, then solemnly took the information and read it carefully.

    After a while, Xiao Likai came back from his thoughts: "According to the records, a dragon kiln may be used to bake this kind of porcelain."

    There are four typical types of porcelain kilns in Chai kiln, namely dragon kiln, steamed bun kiln, gourd kiln and town kiln.

    Let¡¯s talk about the dragon kiln first. The characteristic of the dragon kiln is that it is long. It is built up the hillside. It is shaped like a dragon, so it is called the dragon kiln. The longest one is fifty or sixty meters long, so it has a large firing capacity.  , heats up quickly and has high heat utilization rate, and was widely used in the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

    However, due to resource reasons, Meng Zitao and Xiao Likai did not use the dragon kiln when they first discussed it, but the gourd kiln that was improved during the Ming Dynasty.

    The full name of gourd kiln should be gourd-shaped kiln. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a very famous scientist named Song Yingxing. He wrote a book, which was mentioned in our middle school textbooks, called Tiangong Kaiwu.

    The book "Tiangong Kaiwu" contains illustrations of the Gourd Kiln in the porcelain capital, and there is a text explanation on the illustration of the Gourd Kiln. What does it say?  The fire is sufficient at twelve o'clock. The ancients used twelve o'clock, one hour and two hours, which meant that it would burn for twenty-four hours. The door fire was started at ten o'clock first, and then the fire was burned in the kiln door and the fire chamber for twenty hours.

    Firepower attacks from below, and then firewood is thrown from the skylight for two hours.  Fire comes from above.  This firing method has the characteristics of both a steamed bun kiln and a dragon kiln, because the dragon kiln also throws firewood into the firewood holes on both sides of the kiln body. Its two gourds are shaped like one big and one small, and they look like two steamed bun kilns.  They are connected together, so they are called gourd kiln.

    The gourd kiln is the original creation of the kiln workers in the porcelain capital, and this gourd kiln has a history of more than 300 years from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.  Judging from the excavated kiln sites, it can be seen that the gourd kiln was used by both the imperial kiln factory and the private sector. It flourished everywhere and made outstanding contributions to the achievements of porcelain making in the Ming Dynasty.

    As for why there was a town kiln later?  This is because the internal space of the town kiln is large. For example, the gourd kiln is only more than 40 cubic meters, which is only one-eighth or one-seventh of its size.  If large quantities of porcelain were to be fired, it was of course better to use a town kiln, so the town kiln replaced the gourd kiln.

    The reason why Meng Zitao and Xiao Likai decided to build a gourd kiln was mainly because their idea was to produce high-quality products without firing too many porcelains at one time, resulting in less pollution. In addition, coupled with the characteristics of the gourd kiln, they decided to use this type of kiln.  .

    The data currently uses a dragon kiln, but unless it is unthinkable, Meng Zitao would not be able to build another dragon kiln.

    Meng Zitao said: "Use our gourd kiln first. If there is really no other way, then we can change it to a dragon kiln. But it depends on you."

    "This is not a big problem." Xiao Likai smiled and said with confidence: "In addition, I have a question."

    "What?"

    "You know, I have researched Guan kiln and Ru kiln before, and obtained some formulas. However, compared with the contents of this formula, there are big differences in important aspects between those formulas. Logically speaking, a kind of  Even if there is a difference in the porcelain formula, it cannot be so big, which makes me very confused.¡±

      "Oh, where are the differences?" Meng Zitao asked.

    "Just these places."

    Xiao Likai pointed out the problem and said: "Maybe this is the real formula."

    After Meng Zitao looked at it, he said, "Is there a big difference?"

    "It's a bit contradictory." Xiao Likai replied.

    "Do you think this recipe is not from Ru kiln or official kiln, but from Chai kiln?" Meng Zitao expressed an idea he had long ago.

    ??Xiao Likai was startled, and then he perked up and looked at the formula again, his eyes widening like bull's eyes.

    After a while, he said excitedly: "Maybe, maybe it's a firewood kiln!"

    Meng Zitao was also very excited: "Master Xiao, can we try firing it according to the recipe?"

    After hearing this, Xiao Likai changed from excitement to calmness: "No, this recipe is indeed incomplete, and the result of firing can only be failure."

    Meng Zitao felt a little disappointed. He actually knew that it must be the same answer. After all, the experts hired by his master were no worse than Xiao Likai, and they would have thought of some questions before firing.

    Xiao Likai continued: "Moreover, some key steps are not written in this recipe, making it very troublesome to restore."

    Meng Zitao said: "I asked for some information that will be helpful in restoring the formula. However, you don't have to worry about this. You have to eat your food one bite at a time. Let's solve the problem of Tianmuzhan first, and then solve the problem of the formula."

    Xiao Likai smiled and said: "I understand this, but the formula also gave me a lot of motivation. Maybe it can speed up the process of solving Tianmu Zhan."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "I still say the same thing, work slowly and carefully, and the body is the capital of revolution. You must not destroy your body because of work."

    "Don't worry, I know it well." Xiao Likai made a gesture to reassure Meng Zitao.

    The two discussed the formula for a while, and then discussed the work of the kiln factory. Meng Zitao asked Xiao Likai to do the research with peace of mind. He would send appropriate managers over immediately. If there are any problems, you can tell him and he will  solve quickly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
