Chapter 150
“Well, this is impossible, let alone the problem of craftsmanship, the raw material is a very big problem.
The old craftsman sighed.
“If it weren’t for the sharp increase in cost due to the scarcity of raw materials, how could I have closed the kiln? This is a technology that our family has passed down for thousands of years.”
“That is to say, in fact, the reason why you want to close the kiln is because there is no clay?” Qi Yang was a little surprised.
“It’s high-quality clay.” The old craftsman said.
“Don’t worry about this at all. I have been mining and know most of the ore veins in Xishan. Clay is also a mine.” Qi Yang laughed.
Clay is a sticky soil with few sand particles, and it has good plasticity because it is not easy for water to pass through it.
In fact, general clay is formed by the weathering of silicate minerals on the earth’s surface, generally weathered in situ, with larger particles and composition close to the original stone, called primary clay or primary clay.
And this kind of clay is the main raw material for preparing china clay, and its main components are silicon oxide and aluminum oxide.
In addition to aluminum, clay also contains a small amount of magnesium, iron, sodium, potassium and calcium, so clay is actually an important mineral raw material.
“As long as you can provide high-quality clay, I will be able to provide good bricks!!!”
The old craftsman didn’t mention money. Perhaps, in his opinion, bricks are more important than money.
If it weren’t for the lack of high-quality clay, he would not have wanted to seal the kiln.
“What? Don’t talk to me about the price?” Qi Yang laughed.
“As long as you don’t starve to death, old man, I can provide high-quality clay, old man, I dare to make bricks for you non-stop.”
The old craftsman said indifferently: “Old man, I haven’t seen real high-quality clay in these years, and I don’t want to stop the task passed down from generation to generation, old man.
“What mission?” Qi Yang wondered.
“Of course it is to reform the masonry technology. Our family has been firing bricks for generations since the pre-Qin period.” The old craftsman laughed.
Qi Yang suddenly smiled and said: “Are you interested in following me? I will open a company for you in my Polar Metallurgy, and then ask Polar Mining to open a company to dig clay mines? As for what you have to do, do it for me.” Good brick.”
Burning bricks has been done since ancient times, but since ancient times, no big person has really cared about such an industry.
Although the status of scholars, farmers, businessmen and workers is a little higher than that of merchants, they are really not as good as ten farmers and merchants.
Soon, the matter was finalized.
Qi Yang had people set up Polar Clay Mining, Polar Brick and Tile Company, and of course, Qi Yang was responsible for finding someone to manage them.
The old craftsmen are responsible for technical issues and quality issues produced.
However, the Holly designer said that he will start collecting information now, and will conduct on-site inspections after Qi Yang completes the migration work.
The relocation work of Polar Mining, Qi Yang requested, must be fast.
People nowadays, after hearing the news of the migration, will go crazy and keep building.
Although, Qi Yang can afford it, but this may cause the Lotus City to be destroyed again, increasing the possibility of recovery.
The matter was happily settled in this way, Qi Yang stayed in Longcheng for another day, and on the second day, Tian Mi drove directly to Huotai City and returned.
Along the way, Qi Yang planned to take a look at some of his mining areas.
The Jinwu Coal Mine in Wujin Mountain, the No. 1 Iron Mine in Huotai Mountain, and the No. 2 Iron Mine.
