Survival on a deserted island, a fake daughter raises a tiger cub and makes the star cry

Chapter 183 Candles
Shi Nianqing rubbed the dried Chinese tallow tree nuts with his palms, and the outer shell would fall off after rubbing.

It took a whole day to separate the plants, and we probably separated out a large basin of them.

After cleaning, set aside.

The white protective layer on the outside is candle wax. In ancient times, those dragon and phoenix candles were made of this stuff.

Shi Nianqing was explaining science to the audience in the live broadcast room while doing the work.

"In fact, there are many things in nature that can be used to make candles, such as the honey we eat before. The beeswax in the leftover honeycomb can not only be used to make candles, but also used as medicine."

"If you are injured in the wild, large wounds must be kept closed to prevent infection. You can use beeswax to isolate them."

"It can prevent the wound from getting infected for a certain period of time, thus increasing the possibility of survival."

"It can also be used to make lipstick. When girls reach the dry winter weather, they can add a little essential oil to it and apply it on their lips to keep them moisturized."

"However, the Chinese tallow tree seeds we have are not suitable for making these things. Their best use is to make candles."

"Like the ancient dragon and phoenix candles, they can usually burn all night, about ten hours, and can be recycled, making them very convenient lighting tools."

Shi Nianqing's hands kept moving while he kept explaining science to the audience in the live broadcast room.

Put the cleaned Chinese tallow tree seeds in a basin, find a large iron pot and boil the water.

Then put the washed Chinese tallow seeds in and cook for about an hour.

Shi Nianqing picked it up and pressed it gently with his hands, and the outer layer of wax was rubbed off directly.

Then find the iron net you made before, stack two of them together, put the seeds on them and rub them.

With constant pressing and kneading, the white substance on the surface is scraped off and falls directly into the prepared basin through the iron sand mesh.

The white wax looks grainy and somehow tastes delicious.

Shi Nianqing and a few friends spent half a day collecting a large basin of wax and putting it into the pot to boil.

Soon the moisture inside gradually dries up, and then slowly melts after it dries, and the white wax is ready.

Shi Nianqing took a few pieces of cloth from the textile room, found the oil they often ate in the kitchen, melted it, and cut the cloth into similar lengths.

Then put it in the melted oil, and soon the cloth will be soaked in the oil.

Put it aside to dry. After drying, it becomes a little hard, and you can feel an oily film when you touch the outside.

Shi Nianqing found a bamboo tube that was long enough, put the cloth into the tube vertically, rubbed a hole at the bottom, and pulled the cloth out of the hole.

"This step is very necessary to ensure that the candle wick is vertical, so that when it burns, there will not be more on one side and less on the other side."

"Block it with mud underneath so you can pour the melted wax in."

Shi Nianqing worked as he spoke, pouring the melted wax in and then setting it aside to dry.

I made dozens of candles in total, and only stopped when all the wax was used up.

Put it aside to cool down. After about two or three hours, the candle in the bamboo tube solidified. Use a knife to split it open, and after breaking it apart, a round candle will appear in front of you.

Shi Nianqing lit a candle and saw the small flame rising from it, which looked inexplicably warm.

Put it in the room, it will be very convenient when you want to go out at night.

It is a very good protection for the night.

The sea breeze at the beach is quite strong, and Shi Nianqing feels it is still not very convenient.

The audience in the live broadcast room was simply amazed. [I never thought that candles could be made like this]

[Dragon and Phoenix wedding candles. I looked it up and found out they were a must-have for weddings in ancient times on Earth. I heard they're particularly beautiful.]

[Suddenly I want to see what a real dragon and phoenix wedding candle looks like? ]

[I suddenly feel that the creativity of the people on ancient Earth is really powerful. I really don’t know how they discovered that an ordinary plant seed could be used to make such a magical candle.]

[Sister Shi is awesome! She actually made a candle. Now that electricity is available, will Sister Shi be able to make a light bulb?]

[I don't think it will happen that fast. At least, we haven't reached the industrial age yet. But with so much time, I think Sister Shi should be able to do it.]

[Oh my god, Sister Shi is simply my god]

……

When Shi Nianqing saw the dragon and phoenix wedding candles mentioned above, she was actually a little moved.

Why didn’t I think of making the dragon and phoenix candle before? The making of a dragon and phoenix candle is in my mind. A dragon and phoenix candle can burn for more than ten hours without going out.

Some of the better ones could even burn for three days and three nights. In ancient times, this was a romance unique to them.

Shi Nianqing had the steps of making dragon and phoenix candles in her mind. She had never tried it, but she really wanted to give it a try.

Just do it, Shi Nianqing took a few friends and went back to the tree full of caterpillars.

Wu Xuan was a little confused as to why they had to come and collect these Chinese tallow trees, but he was still very obedient.

This time, Su Muge went up directly before Shi Nianqing.

I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel like my body is moving faster than my brain.

My body was covered with caterpillar juice, so I took a shower immediately after returning home.

Shi Nianqing put these Chinese tallow seeds into the baking room for baking.

In the following time, Shi Nianqing had to solve the problem of too strong wind at the beach.

The best solution is glass, which is easy to make.

After the sand is dissolved at high temperature, it will turn into transparent glass. If the limestone and charcoal collected previously are added, it will turn into transparent glass after multiple burning.

Although this type of glass cannot be extremely transparent, it is more than enough to make windproof lamps.

In addition, there are crucibles in the tool room, so making glass basically does not require much effort.

But before making glass, you need to make an iron rod for blowing glass.

The iron rod must be long enough, otherwise it will easily get burned.

With glass, their windows can also be upgraded.

Today's windows are all made of woven bamboo and have little transparency.

If you don’t open the windows during the day, the room will be very dark, especially on rainy days. When the windows are closed, there is no light at all.

If we have glass, we can solve this problem.

Shi Nianqing told his friends about his idea, and they naturally agreed with it.

The weather is fine now, so there are no big problems. But when it rains, there is no light in the house, and it is really stuffy.
