Chapter 58 Production of Adhesives(1/3)
The next day.
The rain stopped.
Clear skies.
The cloudless sky is even bluer than the ocean.
Netizens who watched the live broadcast were attracted by this charming scenery.
But Chen Lang and the others didn't have time to see the scenery.
They still have a lot of work to do.
"Lehman checked the traps, Gwen continued to process parts, and I went to dry the ramie silk in the sun, and then processed the shells."
Chen Lang issued orders in an orderly manner.
Lehman and Gwen are also very motivated.
They are all busy with their own work.
Chen Lang's side.
He carried the wooden stick covered with ramie silk on his shoulders.
Go to the beach.
On the beach, Chen Lang first inserted two Y-shaped wooden sticks into the sand.
In order to fix the wooden stick.
Chen Lang also kept hitting the wooden stick with a homemade stone hammer.
Until the wooden stick is inserted very deep.
Chen Lang placed the wooden stick covered with ramie silk on the Y-shaped wooden stick.
The ramie silk is wet.
Chen Lang spread out the ramie silk.
In this case, the sun will be dry in one day.
It will be available tomorrow.
Chen Lang counted the time and walked back to the shelter.
......
After returning to the shelter.
Chen Lang started processing shells.
The processing of shells is simple and crude.
Chen Lang was first in the open space outside the camp.
Build a simple tandoor using wet earth.
The clay oven was quickly set up.
After that, Chen Lang started to collect firewood.
Wait until you have collected enough firewood.
The clay oven also becomes dry and strong under the sun's exposure.
Chen Lang was in no hurry to start working.
He went to Gwen's place to take a look at the shipbuilding progress.
Most parts have been produced.
Gwen is making a box using the dowels taught by Chen Lang.
There is a sturdy wooden box placed in one corner.
Gwen did it this morning.
Chen Lang is very satisfied with this box.
With this box, food can be stored in the box.
Food will be safer and can be stored longer.
See Gwen is very busy.
Chen Lang also joined in the work of making wooden boxes.
Gwen admired his exquisite mortise and tenon construction.
Afternoon.
Chen Lang put the firewood into the completely dried clay oven.
A dry tandoor can prevent the flame temperature from escaping.
This will heat the shells better.
Chen Lang lit the clay stove.
Place the shells on the firewood.
The flames licked the outer walls of the shell.
Temperature changes the structure of shells.
It took me an entire afternoon and a whole night to burn.
Chen Lang kept adding firewood.
Finally, in the morning of the next day.
The fire is extinguished.
Chen Lang took out the clay pot he made yesterday afternoon.
Carefully pick up the shells that have been burned until they turn white with a wooden stick.
Put it in a clay pot.
These shells were burned.
Protein, fat and other organic matter are burned cleanly.
The rest is quicklime powder.
Put all these fragile shells into the mud pot.
Chen Lang lightly crushed the shells.
What you end up with is a big pile of lime powder.
Next, wait for Gwen to extract the wood tar.
Gwen's side.
She began preparing to extract wood tar.
The extraction of wood tar is very simple.
Gwen and Chen Lang collected a lot of wood.
After collecting the wood.
Gwen put the wood into the iron bucket.
Gwen picked up the iron bucket on her island.
The first two extractions of Gwen used iron buckets.
After stacking the wood into the iron bucket.
Gwen started making the collection device.
The collection device is also very simple.
Gwen built the scaffolding out of rocks.
Place the iron bucket at an angle.
Under the iron bucket, there was a small opening that she had dug out long ago.
Insert a piece of iron pipe into the small opening.
The iron pipe is kindly provided by Lehman.
Align the mouth of the iron pipe with the plastic bottle.
At the same time, surround the plastic bottles with stones.
The collection device is completed.
Gwen lights the fire and the wood burns.
