Li Yi had seen it in Lantian County. No, when he first came to the Li Family Zhuangzi, there was something that could be used to drill wood to start a fire.
Small bows, wood, velvet grass, and mugwort was usually used for velvet.
It was the same for willow, water wormwood, and other wormwood.
When drilling wood to start a fire, the rope was placed in the gap.
As long as it was not wet, under normal circumstances, it would be lit in less than half a quarter of an hour.
There was no need to use sulfur or saltpeter.
But soon, the mugwort rope was ignited.
The mosquito coil made of mugwort was just a rope hanging. If it was not blown, it would burn by itself.
Once it was blown, it would become a flame.
Even so, the people of the Tang dynasty were still unwilling to light a fire all the time.
A lot of wormwood was needed to weave rope, and suitable wood was also needed to make it into a similar shape.
People in Chang 'an and the counties under the state government chose to eat outside. They needed a stove at home. In the Tang dynasty, there was a chimney after Li Yi came.
Otherwise, they would all build a stove outside and burn firewood.
When Li Yi was young, the stove in the countryside was connected to a kang in the northeast and had a chimney.
In the summer, a stone slab or tile was placed to block the area connected to the kang.
In the winter, the stove was placed on the kang.
In other places, there were external stoves. Who would want to light a fire in the house?
The government of the Tang dynasty must always have fire. If the people wanted to borrow it, they had to give it to them.
Generally, the big families in the village would provide fire to the people in the same village. If there was a family village, it would be more convenient.
What to use to clean the butt when going to the toilet, how to make a fire when cooking, these were the daily life of the Tang dynasty.
Flint was not available everywhere. Fire sickles needed metal. Iron and copper were obviously not available.
Many years ago, when Li Yi smoked his pipe, he stuffed tobacco into the pipe pot, held a flint in one hand and a fire sickle in the other, and smacked it.
The sparks fell into the pipe pot, lit the tobacco, and smoked hard. After smoking a few times, he pressed it with his hand.
Later, there were matches. When lighting a match, he still had to press it. After smoking, he had to press it.
Have you ever seen two pipes facing the fire? When smoking cigarettes, you can take other people's cigarettes and compare them.
Smoking a tobacco pipe could also be done. Placing two tobacco pipes horizontally, one would blow and the other one would smoke. This way, it would go overboard.
Li Yi was thinking about starting a fire as soon as possible. This was an important island on the voyage route. If it rained heavily, it would rain for a few days.
The wood was damp and obviously couldn't be lit. Why don't you drill? Can you drill your way out? Yes, I guarantee it. Even wet wood can drill out of it.
It was just that the time it took was different. The weather was good, and the material was dry. Within a few dozen breaths of time, the fire was already out.
What if the weather is bad? After several thousand breaths of drilling and drilling, there was still no fire.
He needed a lighter. Usually, he wouldn't put so much kerosene in it as it would evaporate too quickly.
They are stored in glass bottles or sealed iron boxes.
When it was time to ignite the fire, he poured a little bit of it and rubbed it with his thumb a few times. A flame appeared.
Princess Yongmu blinked her big eyes. "Li Lang is saying that when we build lighthouses in the future, we don't need to leave any kindling during the day. Instead, we can give a lighter to save fuel?"
"Yes, now we have to solve the problem of fire first. After the lighthouse is built, we can use it to promote it.
Every native on the island hopes that outsiders will go over to communicate and trade.
In their view, lighthouses are important tools to connect to the outside world. The more ships the Tang dynasty has, the more they value it. "
Li Yi knew the advantages of the Tang dynasty at this time. In the age of great navigation, many people actually wanted to go to the China of the Ming dynasty.
"When we go back, do we have to let every place in the Tang dynasty have a lighter?"
Princess Yongmu didn't know the importance of fire. Even if she couldn't eat red braised pork in the past, she still had a noble status.
Xiao Lan knew that when Princess Yongmu needed fire when she was a child, she was responsible for solving it.
She had a tool for drilling wood to start a fire and a fire sickle.
"Li Lang, a lighter is too expensive."
Xiao Lan took the bow in the female leader's hand and looked at it. She shook her head. The design was not reasonable enough.
"When I go back, I will get a set of equipment that can be made with the current technology. This is the technology reserve in Zhuangzi. I didn't exchange it for it.
I will make red phosphorus and other things, and then make matches. There are no technical difficulties. The only problem is the sealing during the process. "
He didn't want to use white phosphorus. White phosphorus matches were really useful. They could be lit by just a scratch on clothes.
Red phosphorus matches couldn't be used. Red phosphorus matches … can be scratched on a glass blackboard.
He had done this before. He took a match to the classroom and scratched it on the glass blackboard.
He also did another immoral thing. In the past, the school used to scratch white, not paint.
He spat on the wall and scratched the white paste from the back of the match. After scratching, the white paste stuck to the butt of the match.
He lit it and threw it on top of a shed. The white paste stuck to the top of the shed, and the match burned a big black circle.
The shed was the most common in the toilet. Everyone played like that.
Later, when he grew up, he finally understood that what he did in the past was inhumane.
Idler? Why did he burn the shed? What was he thinking at that time?
"It's all in the past. It's useless to regret it. When we make matches, we have to protect the health of the maker.
Actually, white phosphorus is also fine. It's just poisonous. Normally, it's just kept in the bag. The temperature can't reach the critical point.
However, it's safer to make red phosphorus. The cost of making it in Zhuangzi is a little high. Take it slow. "
Li Yi said to himself. What should he do if he made a mistake when he was young? He can't just die, right?
Even if someone called the police, the police couldn't do anything to him. They could only teach him a lesson! Don't play like this in the future. Look for your parents.
If he had a choice, he would help to scratch the white paste himself. Don't look for your parents. It's too painful to be beaten up.
Princess Yongmu didn't know that Li Lang had experienced so many things. She looked at the bow that was made of wood. "Li Lang, how do you want to improve it?"
"Ah? Ah! "Li Yi came back to his senses.
"There's no need to change it. Didn't I give you a new tool? It's easier to process the wood that's used to make the fire. I'll ask them to do it. "
Li Yi knew how to make it more convenient. He cut the wood into small pieces according to the grain and then made notches and holes.
The drill head was processed with a knife. Together with the bow, it was an 'advanced' tool that could drill fire in less than twenty breaths.
He found a tool and finished modifying it with a few clicks. He signaled the female leader to drill the wood.
The female leader didn't have mugwort. She used dry grass, which didn't smell as good as mugwort.
She pulled the bowstring, and smoke rose. She blew on it carefully, and flames appeared in the smoke.
Throwing away the fire, she looked up and smiled. It was indeed useful.
Xiao Lan curled her lips. It was indeed backward. Even drilling wood to make fire was more difficult than in the Tang dynasty. In the Tang dynasty, there were people who used metal mirrors to make fire.
Now, the Li Family Zhuangzi specialized in making solar furnaces for ships and the army to use.
What was a match? Was it more convenient than a fire sickle? Compared to a lighter?
"Our industrial foundation is too poor. When I go back this time, I have to think of a way to continue teaching." Li Yi wasn't proud.
How could it be compared to the aboriginals? Compared to his own time, a pack of ten boxes of matches cost more than thirty cents.
With the current technology of the Li Family Zhuangzi, would it be enough to make a pack of matches for three times?
To make it, a lot of white phosphorus had to be extracted at once. Then, the white phosphorus could be made into red phosphorus. The equipment wasn't difficult.
