Let You Drive The Excavator, You Dug Out The Nuke

328. It Has Not Been Oxidized For Hundreds Of Years, The Legendary Ivory Splitting Process?

"Lord Yongzheng also happened to ask this question back then.

"And it was King Annan who told Lord Yongzheng."

"That's what he said, probably more than 100 ivory tusks, in exchange for the lives of dozens of elephants."

"Emperor Yongzheng was shocked when he heard that, and then he directly issued an imperial edict, ordering not to use this method to make ivory mats."

【Qi】+1+1+1+1.

【Is this the legendary ivory splitting process?】

[Ah, it's over, this craft has been lost. 】

[It doesn't matter if this craft is lost. 】

[It's still a pity, let's not talk about whether we will do it in the future, but it's a pity that this craft is gone. 】

[It should not be lost. I saw someone making mats from buffalo horns before, and I thought it was incredible at the time. 】

[Cow horns and ivory are made of different materials, and the ivory seems to need special medicine to soften it. 】

[Don't talk nonsense, in fact, many traditional crafts have not been lost at all, but we have not reached the level. To put it bluntly, we are too poor to afford those luxury goods.

【What is the pity that this craft is lost? Do human beings really need this kind of thing?】

[The ivory mat in Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, I almost laughed my teeth off. It took hundreds of years from Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty to the present, and the ivory would oxidize and change color after a few decades. Excuse me, how do you do it without using ivory? Do you have common sense? ah?】

[That's right, everyone has been praising Fang Yang before, but I don't think he's that powerful at all, and I don't know what everyone's bragging about. 】

【Are you two upstairs blind? Are you deaf or blind? You have already said that you have been soaked in medicine!】

【Yes, I used medicine!】

[This mat is probably thrown away in a rag bag, otherwise Fang Yang would not have been so lucky to find it. 】

[Oh, this kind of thing is no longer allowed, what a pity. 】

[Not only was it not allowed to be done during the Yongzheng period, it is even not allowed to be done now. 】

[Because this is a good thing, and it is an orphan, it is more valuable. 】

[Rhinoceros elephant, the best among ivory. 】

【Is it possible to just pull out an ivory without killing the elephant? So, why sacrifice the lives of dozens of elephants?】

【Just kidding, in ancient times, do you really think that those who hunted elephants would only want ivory and not elephants?】

【Can anyone tell me what is the process of making the ivory mat?】

Obviously, no one can explain clearly how to make ivory mats.

So they could only look towards Fang Yang, hoping that Fang Yang could reveal something from it.

Fang Yang sighed slightly.

If he doesn't know, he can just say that he doesn't know, but he still knows a little about how to make ivory mats.

Although not much is known, it may be enough for some people.

....The manufacturing process of the ivory shape is very complicated".

"According to what I know from the known records, the Qing Dynasty chose the ivory tribute from Siam for cutting.

"The northern regions are dry and prone to fractures."

"So the ivory mat must be made in the south."

"When making it, first of all, as I said before, the ivory must be softened with a special potion.

"As for the potion, those who are interested can research it by themselves, as for me, I don't know much about it.

"And wait until the ivory softens, take out the ivory, and cut it into 0.3 cm wide and 0.05 cm thick mat strips along the ivory texture."

"Then use the split mats to carefully weave mats with herringbone patterns. I believe that in modern life, some people's families still use this style, and everyone should be familiar with it."

"This weaving technique requires delicateness in the process."

"The matting is even and needs to be firm, but also able to stretch freely."

"That's all I know."

"The most important of these is the potion step, but we are missing this step."

【Qi】+1+1+1+1.

[Fang Yang is really great, if we don't understand, he really explained to us seriously, and tried to make us understand. 】

[I feel that this mat must be very comfortable, and it will not stick to sweat, just like the ivory piano keys before. 】

[I think that when the ancients used the brewed potion, it would definitely not be too complicated. If there is no accident, it should be similar to vinegar. Shell or something, it is estimated that teeth can also be used. 】

[The ones upstairs really underestimated the wisdom of the ancients. Knowing about Tiangong Kaiwu and Yongle Grand Ceremony, how many technologies have been completely cleared after all. 】

【It’s definitely not vinegar. I’ve seen eggs soaked in vinegar before. On the second day, the egg shells disappeared and all of them melted. 】

【My great-grandmother used to be the lady of a rich family. There was an ivory bed in the house, but this bed was confiscated and given to a family in the countryside. It is estimated to be worth tens of millions by now. 】

[Luxury is luxury, exquisite craftsmanship, but it is indeed not as practical as air-conditioning technology, so it is better to spend energy on serving the nobles than to study more advanced scientific fields

[Hunting in ancient times was difficult, not to mention that such large animals were flooded with wild animals. In addition to ivory, other meat would be eaten to fill the stomach, and there was no waste, let alone onions. Hot weapons are now easier and faster. 】

[Maybe because only a part of it is used, so some (good Zhao Zhao) people feel cruel and wasteful. 】

[Some people say that there are many crafts that have not been lost, but in fact there are still many that have been lost, including traditional Chinese medicine. 】

[I will make ivory mats for Yongzheng, which is actually understandable. I have seen it in the calendar, and it is indeed recorded that Yongzheng is very afraid of heat, so the pleasing of others is considered to be pleasing to the point. scare】

In everyone's discussion, it is obvious that they don't agree with the existence of ivory mats, and even feel that it is a waste of money and waste.

Fortunately, this world no longer has such things.

So even if everyone is discussing, they are not so angry.

After Fang Yang excavated these things, he quickly turned his eyes away. He patted the dirt on his hands, and he looked like he was going to stop at the first glance.

In order to deal with the finishing work, the experts finally invited You Yang over. .
