Chapter 40 Sealed Kiln Firing
The world of sword.

Li Yunlong looked at the earthen kiln that was about to be completed, and said to Hu Zi beside him, "Hu Zi, go and ask Brother Ren to come over and see if our earthen kiln can be opened for firing."

Although the kiln worker Old Li said that there was no problem, and that the earth kiln they had built was strong and durable and would last for eight or ten years without any problems, Li Yunlong was impressed by Ren Zhong's miraculous skills. Not to mention penicillin, just the concentrated sulfuric acid and nitrocellulose products that Zhu Zhendong and his team had produced through experiments, even in small quantities, were indeed produced from ore.

Li Yunlong also sent it to the headquarters' arsenal for testing, proving that the nitrocellulose they produced was better than the one currently used in the arsenal!

This made Li Yunlong, who was originally skeptical about Ren Zhong, suddenly become a complete believer in him and he was about to become a die-hard fan of Ren Zhong.

So Lao Li really put in a lot of effort in the construction of the earth kiln this time. He worked more than ten hours a day. The three-shift work was almost the limit for Lao Li. Originally, a team of people went to dig the clay more than three miles away from the earth kiln. Now, in order to ensure the progress of the earth kiln, hundreds of people were directly deployed to pick up the required clay at one time and put it next to the earth kiln for use.

Make sure that all raw materials needed for the earth kiln are placed locally next to the earth kiln.

As for the raw materials such as coal and coke that were prepared for firing the kiln, Li Yunlong also urged Zhang Wanhe to purchase them. He even asked the kiln workers to make the large vats and glaze them in advance when the earthen kiln was being built. Basically, Li Yunlong found people to prepare the work in advance that could be carried out in parallel.

Today is the final moment of the earth kiln completion.

But when Hu Zi trotted out, he trotted back not long after and reported: "Captain, I didn't find Boss Ren at the clothing factory or the laboratory. Zhu Zhendong and the others said that Boss Ren must have gone to the mountains. It has been like this for a while. Boss Ren is one day at the clothing factory and one day in the mountains. No one knows what Boss Ren is doing in the mountains."

Li Yunlong thought about it and it seemed to be true. However, it had been more than a month since Ren Zhong appeared, and there had been no intelligence leaks at the headquarters. Judging from the time when Ren Zhong disappeared, he should not have left the base, but was moving within a day's distance from the clothing factory.

Because Ren Zhong would always return to the clothing factory every other day.

"Forget it, Master Li, let's seal the kiln and start firing today as planned. We won't wait for Boss Ren and waste another day." Li Yunlong is not a fussy person. Since he can't find Ren Zhong, he will not delay doing what he should do.

Although this first kiln is of great significance, for Li Yunlong, the most important thing is to build the production line in Ren Zhong's mind as soon as possible.

Eight sets of large vats were carefully moved into the kiln, and then the fuel was piled up. According to the kiln workers' estimates, due to the increase in the volume of the earthen kiln, the temperature of the coal alone might not be enough, so according to the kiln worker Lao Li's suggestion, 20% of coke was added to ensure that the firing temperature was basically the same as the original design.

The entire kiln sealing work was carried out in an orderly manner. In order to successfully fire the first kiln, Zhu Zhendong and his colleagues who were originally immersed in the laboratory ran over to cheer for Li Yunlong, who was sealing the kiln. They even disregarded their beliefs and acquiesced to the absurd behavior of the kiln worker Old Li who asked to kill a chicken and stick a talisman on the opening of the earthen kiln with chicken blood.

This is certainly not in line with materialism.

But even if Ren Zhong was here, he would agree with Old Li's approach. After all, who can be sure of this thing? It all depends on the success rate of metaphysics. If there are more safeguards, then we must go for it.

If you don't fight for this kind of thing, do you have to wait for others to give it to you? What a beautiful dream.

Now it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, the one that works is the good cat. Li Yunlong and his team were busy sealing the kiln and preparing to fire the first kiln, while Ren Zhong was busy in the cave of the transfer station from the headquarters to Yangcun.

You should know that since returning from the last exploration, Ren Zhong has started to transport copper coins to the cave of his choice.

His current fixed-point teleportation ability is actually quite useless, because after teleporting to the designated location, he has to teleport to the main plane next time and re-select the teleportation location to return to the original point.

Just like now, Ren Zhong was teleported to the middle cave on the first day, so Li Yunlong would not be able to see Ren Zhong in the clothing factory on that day. Ren Zhong had to return to the main plane and locate himself in the clothing factory, where he lived for a long time, from the main plane. Only then could Ren Zhong be seen by Li Yunlong and others on the second day in the world of Bright Sword.

This function is only available within a straight-line range of 10 miles. Taking Ren Zhong's current living radius at the clothing factory into consideration, it only covers Yangcun at most.

However, this distance would take a whole day for Ren Zhong to travel on foot, given his strength, so he simply stayed near the cave and waited for a day before being teleported to the vicinity of the clothing factory through the time-travel system.

This avoids the tiring and stressful trip back and forth between the two places.

Of course, the time spent in the world of Bright Sword was not wasted. Ren Zhong transferred the re-editing work of the three precious books of the main plane: the Barefoot Doctor Manual, the Militia Military Training Manual, and the Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-use Talents (electronic version) to the world of Bright Sword.

Because it is not appropriate to copy and paste the technology related to dual-use military and civilian talents, Ren Zhong cannot directly transfer them. He must choose some technologies and products that are suitable for the current situation and transplant them to the world of Bright Sword.

This is basically equivalent to re-editing a book, a workload that is too heavy to be carried out in the main plane in terms of time. He is now simultaneously working on four areas: firearms design, chemical products, communication products, and machine tools. Even if there are three tool people to take over some of the work, the workload is still touching, and he has completely entered the 007 non-stop mode.

Only when he returned to the world of Bright Sword, and when Ren Zhong was teleported to the cave and had nothing else to do, did Ren Zhong bring in his mobile phone and tablet to do editing work.

He had to edit the electronic version first, then return to the main plane to convert the electronic materials into traditional Chinese versions and print them out, and then bring in the printed manuscript before it could be disseminated in this world of Bright Sword.

The whole process sounds simple, but in fact the workload required is quite huge. After all, Ren Zhong must review which of these things are suitable to be proposed in the world of Bright Sword, so as to avoid some uncontrollable factors from appearing.

With such a thing to do, Ren Zhong seemed quite busy for nearly a month, and he often even had no time to go to Li Yunlong to check on the progress.

Anyway, he knew that with Li Yunlong, a junior version of the infrastructure maniac, the progress of the earthen kiln could not be faster even if he was in charge.
