"Sir, tea." In a temporary sheltering tent next to the second-class national highway leading from Nanding Port to Shuanghu Township, a entourage held a steaming porcelain cup and placed it on the short table in front of Mo Xingye.

After all, Mo Xingye was a young man. After staying in the factory in Nanding Port for more than half a month, he gave himself a vacation and took his entourage to play nearby. Now they had just returned from hunting in the wild and the harvest was pretty good. Young Master Mo felt a little tired, so he took a rest on the side of the road.

Because of drinking a little wine, Mo Xingye's face turned a little flushed. The wine is made of high-quality grapes produced by the Ludang River Basin, and the quality and craftsmanship are very good. Especially in the past two years, some Huguenots from France have been instructed. The quality of the wine produced in the Ludang River Basin has improved rapidly and its domestic market share has continued to expand, which puts great pressure on old-fashioned products such as Xiangshan Dry Red and Xianghe Wine.

After drinking, according to the customs of the East Coast people, tea is about making tea. Especially in the cooler East Coast prairie, Pampa Plain, South Cone and Chile, tea is an indispensable part of people's daily life after drinking, and has almost become a symbol of cultural symbols.

Of course, the east coast has a vast territory, a large span of the north and south, and the climates vary from place to place, so the customs are all the same. For example, in the Yazi Lake Basin, the Brazilian Plateau and other places, the amount of alcohol consumed by people cannot be compared with the colder south. Most of the teas I drink after drinking is clear tea, which has a light and elegant taste.

In the southern region headed by the East Coast Grassland, due to the cold weather, the people's alcohol consumption is very large, and the entire brewing industry is also very large. The government has specially issued a tax on tobacco and alcohol to collect, which shows that. The locals will certainly drink tea after drinking, but the variety is more complicated. Although green tea, black tea, matte tea, milk tea and so on can be seen everywhere, it cannot be generalized.

When you cross the La Plata River and come to the Pampa Plain and the Southern Cone area, because the local animal husbandry industry is extremely developed and the meat and milk production is amazing, people generally like to drink milk tea after drinking. Of course, it can be subdivided into milk tea. For example, the milk tea that the people in the Pampa Plain area drink mainly adds sugar and tastes sweet. Because there are many Shandan, Mongolian, and captives in the early immigrants in the Southern Cone area, the milk tea they drink mainly adds salt (there may be factors that Nanshu is the main salt producing area on the east coast), and the taste is salty.

The tea Mo Xingye can drink is milk tea, which is cooked on the spot by his followers. It tastes fragrant and makes people salivate. However, this milk tea is different from the two types of milk tea currently popular in the south. In addition to normal milk, black tea, and refined sugar, this milk tea is also added with the specialty of New China Island coconut flour. It tastes very unique and is a very trendy thing around the world and is expensive. You should know that coconut trees are native to Southeast Asia and have not yet been popularized all over the world in this era.

Africa and America are rare and even in most places, it can be said that there is no coconut trees in many movies describing Pirates of the Caribbean. It is unscientific. Even though it began to spread more widely after the Age of Discovery, it was far from popularizing the whole world, so the output was not as large as people imagined. Otherwise, what would you think the British East India Company buys a large amount of coconut products from India every year, and the Dutch East India Company buys a large amount of coconut products from the East India Islands to Europe for the purpose?

Therefore, the so-called coconut milk tea that Mo Xingye drinks now is really high-end, with milk, sugar, and coconut flour, which is fragrant and tastes bad. Therefore, the price is very high. Most people don’t want to buy it occasionally, but they are actually aiming at the high-end market.

Another thing worth talking about is that their tea drinking utensils are not expensive and high-end products produced in China, but domestic ceramics on the east coast. In the Patagonia area, kaolin resources are very rich and the distribution area is also very bright. After many years of development, there have been three main production centers, including dozens of kilns, Hai'an, Thick Soil and Nanding, producing various types of white porcelain, coarse porcelain, three-color glaze porcelain, as well as some green and black glaze large porcelain.

The styles of porcelain were originally Chinese, but with the prevalence of overseas trade and the exchange of Chinese and Western cultures, the styles of these porcelains are becoming increasingly diversified, with different shapes and murals, reflecting the unique cultural background of the East Coast. As the manufacturing center of the East Coast ceramic industry, Hai'an Port has an institution specializing in ceramic technology, called Hai'an Ceramics Higher Education College. Currently, there are more than 100 teachers and students in the school, specializing in scientific research on ceramic production.

Don’t underestimate the words of scientific research! Ceramics has developed to this day, both in China, Persia and Europe, and the technical level is high and low, but overall it is actually the same, that is, the entire manufacturing process has no stable production process and no quantitative indicators, and everything depends on the experience of the master. But the people of the East Coast are different now! They are currently mainly studying three topics: one is the properties of ceramic raw materials, the second is the way to control the quality in the ceramic manufacturing process, and the third is the research on scientific instruments required to achieve the above two purposes.

From these we can see that the people of the East Coast are really seriously studying how to produce ceramics. And unlike mainland China, they point directly to the essence, explore through scientific analysis methods, improve production processes, and achieve stable quality. Otherwise, why do they have to make a big fuss? On the one hand, they build chemical analysis rooms and process research rooms from mainland China, and on the other hand, they also set up special schools to train talents?

At present, thanks to the power of the microscope products of Henan Glass Factory, teachers and students of Hai'an Ceramics College have analyzed the changes in the form and specific gravity of different types of silica after heating, which provide a valuable theoretical basis for the improvement of ceramic production technology in the future.

For example, researchers from Hai'an Ceramics University proposed that the tendency of cracks in the blank can be controlled by increasing the quartz content, fine grinding quartz and other components, calcining quartz, increasing the vegetative temperature, reducing the clay content in the blank, replacing porcelain clay, and increasing the proportion of non-plastic components to plastic components. These methods or techniques are either techniques that ceramic producers around the world do not understand, or even understand, cannot explain the reason. However, compared with the conclusions drawn by people from East Coast through scientific analysis.

The lack of induction and summary of experience, lack of quantitative analysis and indicators, and lack of process flows that are shaped into words are the flaws of these medieval producers. As East Coast people continue to deepen their research on this aspect, these people have a very unpromising future prospects, and perhaps they can only compete with the East Coast ceramic industry by selling feelings.

In order to conduct a more in-depth study of the ceramic manufacturing process, Dongban people have also developed many useful tools. I won’t mention microscopes, precision balances, etc. This is a basic scientific instrument and is indispensable. In order to measure the furnace temperature, Dongban people specially developed a platinum resistance thermometer (originally used in the steel industry) and is very impressive. It is a black technology that crushes all old-style handicraft producers.

This thermometer that can measure high temperatures was developed and manufactured by the scientific instrument factory under Dongan Precision Instrument Company. They produced two types of products in total, one is a nickel resistance thermometer and the other is a platinum resistance thermometer. Both are used in industrial production. The latter is widely used in measuring furnace temperatures due to its large measurement range, and has a very large sales volume. It is also an export-controlled item.

This thermometer uses the distance from the metal conductivity changes under temperature changes. To put it bluntly, it is not worth it, but in Continental and China, where there is no concept of electrical engineering, this kind of measuring instrument cannot be produced, let alone widely used in the industrial field.

Scientific research methods, coupled with scientific analysis and measurement instruments, mean that the ceramic craft on the East Coast will take a different approach and carry forward the original traditional Chinese crafts. Among the tableware in Mo Xingye's home, there is a complete set of porcelain with beautiful flame spots and blue. This is a beautiful new porcelain made by people from the East Coast through research and analysis, continuous trial and error, and finally by controlling the gas in the furnace, using new colorants and other methods, it is deeply loved by local and overseas porcelain merchants in the East Coast. Almost every time a kiln is released, it is sold out.

The younger generation is better than the younger generation. This is the result of the development of the East Coast porcelain industry over the years. They absorbed the old craftsmanship of this treasure of Chinese civilization, then added modern scientific and technological elements, and studied some of the secrets through scientific analysis, and finally formed their own style and beautiful new products.

This is actually a microcosm of the development of many East Coast industries over the years. It is not just porcelain, but also music, clothing, food, painting, etc., showing the strong vitality of the culture of this brand new immigrant country. It is rooted in Chinese culture, and then absorbs cultural elements from some other regions, and finally forms its own unique culture.

"Platinum resistance thermometer, nickel resistance thermometer, alas, when will our factory develop these two things?" After slowly savoring the coconut milk tea in the cup, Mo Xingye looked at the porcelain cup made using the unique gold edge firing method on the east coast, but his thoughts flew out of the clouds in the nine heavens.

Platinum resistance thermometers and nickel resistance thermometers are one of the core products of the scientific instrument factory, so naturally there is no possibility of sharing with their sea eagle factory. There is no antitrust law on the east coast, and it will not force the scientific instrument factory to transfer the technology and patents of these two industrial thermometers to another company. Therefore, if the sea eagle factory wants to catch up, it still has to rely on its own continuous investment in research and development, although they are likely not as strong as the scientific instrument factory's technical talent reserve.
