Spore Story

Chapter 151 is an experiment

"Yesterday, we had so many guesses from pottery fragments from the first kiln."

Shaking the booklet in his hand, Quack's tail even swayed unconsciously because of his pride.

However, these apprentices have only learned less than a hundred characters through this period of study, let alone the quack apes.Because Lingyun's main energy is now on the little quack ape and the apprentice priest, the adult quack ape can only watch Lingyun's teaching out of his own interest.In this case, it is considered good if the Lingyun team has individuals who can read at the current average level of [-] characters for Little Quack Ape.

Therefore, the apes present just looked at the booklet in Quack's hand in awe, which seemed to us only a few thin pages, and at the same time obediently waited for Quack's follow-up.

"What I'm going to talk about today is to turn conjecture into the next test arrangement."

Pointing to the temporarily abandoned No. [-] pottery kiln, Ga Ga said, "I only went through two steps for the pottery that failed in this kiln: clay molding and pottery baking."

Feeling slightly depressed, Gaga was still a little depressed about the previous failure, but he quickly cheered up and looked at the dozen or so apes again.

"Although it was a failure this time, we spent an afternoon drawing so many conjectures from the failed product."

Seeing that all the apes were consciously looking at the booklet in Gaga's hand, Gaga happily continued, "The next step is to determine which guesses are correct and which ones are wrong."

"The first is the fragile structure caused by air bubbles and cavities. In order to prove this conjecture, we set up two directions: in the first direction, the clay step does not change, and it is formed directly after a little reconciliation with water; and in the second direction, the clay Use force and try to make the clay compact and reduce the probability of air bubbles and cavities before forming."

Then, quack wrote "clay treatment" on the ground, and then wrote "bubble cavity" below it.

"Then, based on the conjecture that different thicknesses lead to different structures, we set up different directions, that is, to make mud blocks of various thicknesses and sizes, and test out the best size and thickness."

So, Quack wrote "Clay Formation" after "Clay Treatment", and then wrote "Size and Thickness" under "Clay Formation".

Time drifted slowly, when a dozen or so apes who came to Kiln No. [-] to listen to the quack test course after eating breakfast, found that the shadow on the ground had changed direction. The open space on the slate has been filled with densely packed test points.

Such as "shaping clay drying", "baking time" and so on.

But the quack apes were surprised to find that the quack apes, who clearly knew only about a hundred people, completely understood the words on the ground.

In just one morning, their literacy has increased considerably.

Xiao Lingyun was even more thoughtful looking at the pile of words on the ground.

She felt that she had caught something, which seemed to be very beneficial to her teaching, but she just couldn't think of it. She wanted to ask Quack but didn't know how to ask it, so she was entangled there.

However, the surrounding apes didn't notice the abnormality of the aura. They were all dizzy when they saw the number of tests required at the four-digit level after counting the dense test points.

Basic arithmetic is much simpler than writing.All the apes know what a four-digit number is, but they are already dizzy when counting the three-digit nest apes, let alone counting the bacon stocks with more than four digits one by one, and the premise is to guard the bacon The leader team will let you count (the storage is handed over to the leader team to take care of, while the Lingyu team is full-time food cooking and bacon preparation.).

And at this moment, Quack is feeling like he suddenly realized: "Sure enough, if you want to not pursue chance and get results purely through experiments...the workload is too horrible. No wonder there is a saying that human civilization was initially It is the accumulation of various accidents."

It is impossible for Quack to conduct thousands of experiments.

Leaving aside the fact that there are only a dozen or so pottery kilns in the second batch, how long will it take for thousands of experiments?The main reason is that it is impossible to guarantee that all the questions can be answered with only so many experiments, because who can say that the densely packed points on the ground contain all the questions?

"No, the number of experiments must be reduced!"

After releasing a burst of electric current to wake up the mind, I looked at the apes who were shocked by the number that Quack got and stood aside (the movement of Lingyun is also considered to be shocked, so it seems that some apes are not shocked by the number Say, quack.), after another dry cough, quack successfully attracted the attention of all quack apes.

"From the experimental figures, we can see that it will take a lot of time and energy. But!" Gaga looked around at the apes, feeling super good about himself. "Unexpectedly, we have become human teachers now."

"However, we must not forget our original purpose, Lingyun, what is our original purpose?"

Lingyun, who was still in deep thought, was pushed by Lingyun beside her, and after a while of panic, she turned her confused eyes to Quack.

"Kou Nai." Restraining his house spirit, Gaga looked at Lingyun with satisfaction, and didn't mind his behavior of ignoring his own problems at all, "You have to learn from Xiao Lingyun, who thinks more about things. Good habit. Then, Xiao Lingyun, what is our original purpose?"

"It's pottery. Lingxue told me about it yesterday."

"Yes," Gaga continued, selectively ignoring the second half of Lingyun's sentence, "It's pottery making! You should be clear that our primary purpose now is pottery making, not testing these conjectures, so..."

Walking to the ground where the main points are written, Gaga wiped off the "bubble cavity" under the "clay treatment".

"While you don't know it yet, I'm mainly in charge of pottery, and I know that if you don't deal with it, there will be air bubbles, whether or not the air bubbles are the cause of some problems in the rear. But I do know one thing, which is However, it is true that the fewer bubbles and cavities, the better. Then, in this experiment, in order to complete the usable pottery as soon as possible, the test on the bubbles and cavities can be cancelled. In this way, the number of experiments has dropped by more than half."

Looking at the bright apes in front of his eyes, Quack proudly erased a few related points behind him, and then moved to the next point that does not need to be tested...

The time has returned to the time when the sky is getting dark, and the handwriting on the ground can still be seen clearly, but after a while, the only thing to do is to light the fire.

all day.In the first half of the day, Quack led the apes to list a bunch of points; in the second half of the day, Quack led the apes to delete a bunch of points.In the end, when night was approaching, Gaga recorded the final key points in a booklet on the premise of ensuring the pottery experiment was carried out stably. At this time, the number of experiments with four digits had been reduced to two digits.

During the ups and downs, the apes were surprised to discover the huge impact of experience accumulation on the success of the experiment, and the "apes" even included Quack himself.

Thinking of the similar statement that great men in history always said that they "stand on the shoulders of giants", Gaga nodded with emotion in agreement.Although I am only making pottery for a small amount, but the so-called seeing a little to know a work, one leaf knows the autumn.This also shows the importance of knowledge accumulation.

"Okay, another day has passed today, doesn't it feel like it passed quickly?"

Looking happily at the apes, they unconsciously nodded for confirmation, and after laughing happily, they led everyone back to the nest again.

Gaga has no doubts about the feasibility of making pottery for the dozen or so apes to understand the experimental method and learn how to make pottery.

"In the past two days, we have been making theoretical preparations. And tomorrow, we will start the actual experiment."

————————The dividing line of long-term diving emerges————————

The sky was already dark, and in the bright cave, the apes lit dozens of fires and sat around happily, talking about what they saw and heard during the day, and chatting about the recent foundation construction.

At this time, an apprentice priest walked up to Gaga and handed the black thing in his hand to Gaga, "Boss, what is this?"

"Huh? This is a fire stick... No! This... Could it be charcoal!"

Looking at the black wooden stick, although Gaga has never seen the actual charcoal, there is a fire stick used for writing beside him, and he can find the gap between the two sides by comparing them.

And for the experiment, Quack put the black stick that looked like charcoal on the edge of the fire to test its burning ability.

Sure enough, this piece of charcoal started to ignite a small flame in a short while, and it lasted for a long time without going out.

For Gaga, who burned firewood in the countryside when he was a child, and used coal, electricity and gas in the city when he grew up, he had never used charcoal.All he knows is the very subjective conclusion that charcoal is better than firewood and worse than coal based on the article "The Charcoal Seller" combined with his current life.

As for the preparation of charcoal, Gaga doesn't know much.

The apprentice next to him looked at the burning charcoal without regret, and it seemed that the other party was only temporarily curious.

Gaga waved his tentacles and patted the other person's shoulder, drawing the other person's attention to himself and asked, "Where did this piece of charcoal come from? And what's your name?"

"My name is Liangu. This wood... charcoal is from Kiln No. [-]. There are a lot of them. I haven't seen this kind of thing before, so I brought it back to have a look."

"Kiln No. [-]?" Gaga carefully recalled the memories of No. [-] Kiln and charcoal production. "I only remember that charcoal is made by burning wood, but there seems to be special steps when burning... No. [-] Kiln?"

Suddenly, Gaga remembered the cool breeze when the kiln was opened, "Sealed! Yes, it seems that after burning for a while, the space should be closed, and then the remaining heat will continue to heat the wood. During this period, some self-reactions will eventually form charcoal."

Gaga stood up excitedly and wanted to go out to burn charcoal, but when he reached the entrance of the cave, he saw the starry sky and the dark earth, and smiled. "Really, this character really needs to be changed. Charcoal, charcoal, it shouldn't be difficult to make, but you need to pay attention to the danger of carbon monoxide. If you use it in pottery, it should have a good effect."

Quack returned to the nest again, and the quack apes were still chatting enthusiastically, but tonight Lingyun's teaching mood suddenly became high, and at this time she was pulling the reluctant little quack apes to the character class.
