The biggest need for the Sea Tribe was a clay pot for boiling salt; they already had more than enough. Even if the pottery wasn't great, they had plenty in stock. It couldn't keep breaking, could it?
Therefore, the pottery-making team is constantly shrinking. In order to ensure as much manpower as possible for farming and boiling salt, the current pottery-making team only has two team leaders, Huangpi and Heipi, whose status is somewhat awkward.
"Can you make stronger clay? For building a house, or perhaps even a seaside stove? It's more capacious than a clay basin, isn't it? You need to use your brains, make more new attempts, and don't be afraid of failure. Keep exploring through failure. That's your main job. Understand?"
Ma Yue also needs constant encouragement, technology is the primary productive force.
Where did bricks come from? Aren't they made from clay? Pottery can be made, so how difficult is it to make bricks? Ma Yue didn't understand, so he could only guide him slowly.
The yellow-skin and black-skinned pottery has a rough texture, varying in thickness, is rich in impurities, and is loose and brittle. The raw materials used to make these pottery are all locally sourced. These pottery materials are crude, the shapes are simple, and the firing temperature is low, around 700°C. These pottery pieces are fired in piles on the ground without kilns.
Ma Yue had never seen how pottery was made. As for kilns and the like, he had only heard of them but had never seen them.
"Clay!" Ma Yue finally remembered a word. What is clay? Ma Yue had never seen it before. It is better than the soil dug up from anywhere, right?
"What is clay?" It's a new term, and the yellow-skinned and black-skinned people don't understand it.
"That's it..." Ma Yue mixed water and mud together. Isn't it a lot thicker? In short, the yellow-pi and black-pi understood what he meant. It just needed some sticky soil.
"Burned clay is harder, but also more fragile. You can try adding some shell fragments, pebbles, or even branches or grass to the clay. In short, you have to keep experimenting."
