Chapter 43: Ji·Reputation Damaged·Xiang

The interstellar version of imitation white porcelain teacup in my hand has a beautiful shape, fine body, and pearly luster. It is already a very good piece of white porcelain.

Jixiang looked at the teacup in fascination, and sighed with emotion, and said: "Grandpa, you actually managed to make it, just based on my little memory." He must be quite capable.

Old Man Ji was very calm, "It can be considered an accident." After saying this, Old Man Ji paused, with obvious regret on his face, and said: "I really have no idea about the raw mineral glaze you mentioned. I can't make it. What I am using now can be said to be chemical glaze."

"The results of preparing and firing pure mineral glaze are very difficult to control." Take the firing of underglaze red for example. It is said that nine out of ten kilns fail to produce blue and white underglaze red.

However, "the glaze and color are quite good. The characteristics of chemical glaze are stability and uniformity, and the glaze color is the same throughout the body." It should be in line with the aesthetic of interstellar people.

Old Man Ji frowned slightly. "This is a chemical coating. It is used on the surface of wooden containers, stoneware, pottery, metalware and even glassware. After drying, it will form a thin, strong and beautiful coating."

Many containers and utensils in the interstellar world use this coating. After drying, the texture of the surface is very similar to porcelain. The interstellar people call it glaze ware, and Jixiang prefers to call it interstellar porcelain.

Old Man Ji often uses utensils made of glass, metal and some other materials. He rarely has this kind of coated interstellar porcelain in his home.

"This was accidentally created during the interstellar technology explosion. It became very popular as soon as it appeared, and the paint is not harmful to the human body."

"It seems that you don't like it very much, Grandpa."

“I prefer traditional glass.”

“Isn’t pottery more traditional?” Jixiang wondered.

"Pottery has a very short history and does not play a high role in interstellar history."

"But pottery is quite beautiful!" Jixiang didn't quite understand. After all, in her previous world, primitive pottery such as black, white, gray, red and colored pottery were still very beautiful and exquisite. Some of the craftsmanship was even quite shocking and difficult to replicate.

"Well...if glass hadn't appeared in time, it might be possible." Old Man Ji said thoughtfully, but "Glassware appeared shortly after the development of pottery, and since its appearance, it has quickly replaced the status of pottery." Therefore, glassware is the most traditional and mainstream in the interstellar world.

Therefore, pottery no longer developed further. On the contrary, stone tools developed even better than pottery. These stone tools included various exquisite gemstones, jades, etc.

Perhaps other interstellar civilizations have developed, but the mainstream civilization in the universe has not.

Jixiang listened with great interest to Old Man Ji's narration of the history of interstellar artifacts.

Jixiang couldn't help but sigh that the interstellar people were truly a natural technological nation, and their technological development was extremely rapid.

"…The emergence of new materials has once again impacted the development of traditional tools, until many new interstellar civilizations were discovered during star field exploration. These interstellar civilizations quickly merged into the main interstellar civilization during the civilization merger, which once again triggered a craze for new materials, but with more characteristics of other civilizations incorporated into them."

"What about their own civilization? After all, a lot of it is still relatively primitive. There must be some traditional things that are better developed than the traditional things of the mainstream interstellar civilization, right?" Jixiang asked with a frown.

"The impact of science and technology is too great, and the star field is vast. Many tiny things would find it difficult to survive in the long history of civilization if they don't have the soil for survival and development, let alone grow and develop." Old Man Ji sighed.

Jixiang couldn't help but sigh, it was really such a pity.

Looking at the interstellar imitation white porcelain in her hand, Jixiang wondered, "The glaze is so beautiful, has no one ever thought of making it more perfect?" She felt that the glaze was no better than the fine porcelain in her memory.

"I've thought about it, so some people have developed more colors of paint, some have made the gloss of paint more dazzling and colorful, and some have enriched the texture of paint." For example, paper, wood and so on.

As he spoke, Old Man Ji opened his computer and looked around, then showed Jixiang some pictures of representative glaze ware.

How to put it? The brilliant colors and the changing lights are so stunning that even the lighting engineers at concerts would have to admit defeat and call them the masters; even the owners of KTVs would rush to the store overnight to learn from them.

Jixiang: “…” She didn’t understand, but she was shocked.

After a while, Jixiang hesitated and asked, "Is the colorful glaze shining with the colorful light of Mary Sue?"

Old man Ji twitched his lips. He understood half of it. He didn't know what Mary Sue was, but he knew it was not a good word.

Old Man Ji said strictly, "That's called colored glaze and colorful glaze."

"The color palette must have been knocked over." Seven colors was her conservative statement.

"The more colors and the more complex the gloss changes, the more difficult the coating technology is and the more raw materials are needed to make the coating."

auspicious:"……"

She understands, she understands everything. Just like Emperor Qianlong's Doucai large vase, it contains 17 kinds of glazes, all porcelain making techniques, high and low temperatures, and the difficulty of the skills varies. The probability of successful firing is only about 0.23%, and it is absolutely gorgeous.

Whether it is beautiful or not is a matter of personal opinion. It doesn’t matter whether you like it or not. Anyway, the craftsmanship has reached the pinnacle of porcelain making, unprecedented and unparalleled.

Old Man Ji looked at Jixiang with an expression that said, "I understand, but don't insult my aesthetics," and couldn't help but pat her on the head. "Interstellar aesthetics is very rich and diverse. What you see is just the tip of the iceberg."

"No need to explain, I understand, I understand everything." But the mainstream is still Western and technological.

"It's up to you." Old Man Ji thought of Jixiang's unique aesthetic preference and suddenly felt that it was nothing.
