Chapter 14 Glass

The great man was barren, and this did not refer to the land but to material things. In Yun Xiao's opinion, this was simply a material desert. Everything was short of, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to spiritual life.

“This is impossible to live.”

Yun Xiao was filled with resentment when he saw the beef stewed with radish in the soup bowl. Wouldn't it be enough to stew the beef with potatoes?

...The potato is still in America, so it is not ordinary to eat a bite. If I hadn't brought the pepper to the man by chance, I would have to wait for those who want to eat spicy food. Now my family is almost inseparable from this plant that will become red after ripening, and it has a tendency to become heavier and heavier in taste.

The greenhouse vegetable Yunxiao had thought about it, but the ideal was full, but the reality was very skinny. The few cucumbers planted in large flower pots were wilted and the few that were wilted. It was no wonder that such a small planting volume and insufficient sunshine. It was no wonder that these fruits and vegetables were wilted.

This is also impossible. Here, paper-paste windows are all high-tech luxury goods. Do you dare to think of plastic film? That thing has too high technological content. Even if Yun Xiao knows the chemical molecular formula, just getting crude oil is a headache.

"My husband, aren't there bean sprouts and garlic sprouts? In winter, except for the royal family, who can eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Even the palace ladies are limited to supply, and the total output of Wen Tangjian is only so much. Last time I heard that Princess Guantao's house had a basket of cucumbers missing, and several servants were executed. You will only eat some and eat some."

Luan Ling stuffed the chopsticks into Yun Xiao's hand and gently coaxed Yun Xiao.

"It's too hard to eat without vegetables. Look, my hands are stabbed by swords and guns." Yun Xiao reached his hand in front of Luan Ling to show Luan Ling. Men are sometimes like children. Yun Xiao feels that the childlike innocence in his heart is completely inspired by the goddess. Luan Ling, who has given birth to a child, is now like a loving mother, caring for Yun Xiao carefully. Treat him as much as a son than a husband, and the goddess has a lot of resentment at this point.

After eating a few bites of bean sprouts, I put down my chopsticks. I was really fed up with the days of bean sprouts and garlic sprouts every day. I felt that the smell of peeing was like garlic sprouts, and I could smoke myself.

"I'm stuffed."

Yun Xiao pushed away his bowl and walked around the yard with his hands behind his back.

The air in Chang'an is very similar to that in Yanjing, both dry and cold. Yun Xiao likes such a climate. It is domineering and not as soft as the tide and cold girl in Jiangnan.

Canglan ran in with a loud shout. This guy had excellent potential for a dog. A few days ago, he was unhappy and got a hawk for Yun Xiao and said it was for hunting. Yun Xiao was very happy, but the hawk disappeared overnight.

Xiaobai looked at Yun Xiao with innocent eyes, indicating that this matter has nothing to do with it. But how do you explain the eagle hair on the corner of your mouth? This guy usually doesn't eat live food. He doesn't eat meat until it is cooked, so who knows he will attack this eagle.

Looking at Canglan's cheerful look, did he catch something again? Did he catch the little tiger? This is good. I have raised it and pk with Xiaobai.

Eight thick men walked in with a white stone the size of a tabletop. Canglan insisted that every grass and tree on Mount Li belonged to the Yun family. This guy wanted to stamp every leaf with the Yun family's seal. Now that he got the treasure, he naturally had to hand it over to the head of the family to deal with it.

A white stone has lumps on it. The cut surface is neatly and smoothly raised into geometric shapes, which looks like a diamond from a distance. It looks like a crystal when it looks like a crystal, but it is much better than this thing when it is not transparent to the crystal. It makes people fuck a basin of water and carefully rinse the remaining soil. Yun Xiao was overjoyed that the damn quartz stone.

This is the main raw material for glass in later generations.

"Where did this thing be done?"

Yun Xiao pointed at the quartz stone and asked excitedly.

"A vein was found two miles away from Houshan Coal Mine. It was all this. But no one knew what it was. Seeing that this thing was strange, I picked up a big piece and asked someone to carry it back for the head of the family to see."

Canglan looked like a treasure-giving look, very much like Mu Renzhi on TV. If Yun Xiao had fallen in love with Xier from any family, he would probably go back and grab it back immediately.

I didn't say that such a person who is interested in discovering should be rewarded. It's so considerate. If you want to sleep, you will give me a pillow. With this thing, Yun Xiao is 80% sure to make glass. The quality cannot be guaranteed, but judging from the purity of the quartz stone, the light transmittance should be good.

The match factory by the river is already under construction, and it seems that another glass processing factory will be built. I will not create a riverside economic belt in the future. Should I repair the embankment if I have time?

When people were excited, they thought a lot. Yun Xiao carried this thing to the steel furnace of the big iron hammer with his servant. He heard that this thing had to be heated to 1,700 or 800 degrees, even if he used the best coke, Yun Xiao still had no idea.

The big hammer made people build a tall earth platform by the river, covering a large area of ​​four or five acres. The bitter river wind in winter is the best blower. He also planned to move the steelmaking furnace directly to the top of the mountain after the New Year. The wind was even stronger there, as long as you make a huge sail, there were natural blowers all year round.

It was just that transportation was not very convenient, Yun Xiao was preparing to dig out a cliff and create an original winch. Eight cows pulled a huge winch and thought it was a huge project.

The huge iron hammer slammed on the quartz stone, and Canglan looked at it in a daze. As soon as his expression recovered, he looked painful, thinking that the head of the family destroyed a rare treasure.

"Don't worry, this thing is a raw material. I want to use it to create a treasure you can't imagine." Yun Xiao smiled and patted Canglan's shoulder, feeling unspeakable.

The large quartz stone was knocked into small pieces, and the small pieces were thrown into the stone mill and ground. The quartz stone was very hard and could only be ground into small particles after grinding for a long time. Yun Xiao looked at it and just let it go. Let's see if the glass can be burned out.

The burning fire burned for a whole day and night, using the best coke. The big iron hammer sucked it in pain, not knowing what the Marquis wanted to burn these stones. He also sprinkled the gray-white lime powder into it. It was already white enough and he had to sprinkle lime. Finally, he saw Yun Xiao throwing saltpeter inside. Seeing the big iron hammer with great gunpowder, his scalp was swollen, and subconsciously hid to the side.

And he was puzzled by the fact that Juzi put a lot of yeast in it. Isn’t this thing used for kneading? How did it be used? However, when he saw Yun Xiao’s hopeful look, he had to follow him and see what kind of flowers these white stones could burn.

Yun Xiao looked at the big hammer muttering beside him with contempt. He wanted to put technical things like carbonate and calcium carbonate in a burning glass? I will teach you what your brain can learn, do you know what na2co3 means?

On the third day, Yun Xiao finally got a pot of melted quartz water. He lay in the trough with orange red color, so hot that the big hammer wrapped her body like a mummy, and poured a lot of water before he dared to pass.

The task given to him was very simple, which was to roll out the skin. In order to make him fully familiar with the business, he had already asked him to roll out a basket of dumpling skins yesterday. The big hammer's forehead almost rolled out the sparks, and now he was irritated when he saw something like a rolling pin.

However, this thing is easier to make. The orange-red material water is very sticky. Pour it into the hopper of the molten iron, and the two of them push the wheels. A thin layer of things came out between the two iron mills. Yun Xiao was immediately so happy that he disappeared when he saw this thin layer of things. He hurriedly asked the big iron hammer to put these things into the hot annealing kiln. If the heated glass does not fade, it will become very brittle.

The professional term seems to be insufficient stress intensity and the memory is a bit blurry. I have learned it in materials science, but it has been too long to remember it.

The amount of firewood gradually decreased under the annealing kiln, and the last firewood was finally removed two days later.

After a day of drying the kiln, Yun Xiao rushed in first.

The flat glass was quietly lying on the shelf and touched it with your hands carefully. It was a little warm, so people took a small piece of it outdoors. When the cold wind blew, the remaining temperature on the glass disappeared instantly. I looked at the sun and saw bubbles and impurities. If anyone burned such glass in the 21st century, he would definitely be fired.

But in Dahan, this is a high-tech product.

The killers under his command looked at the transparent thing in the Marquis's hand with big mouths. It looked like crystals, but they had never seen such a big and flat crystal. The Marquis is really a god and can create anything.

Master Geng took it excitedly and looked at it, his beard under his jaw was sticking out.

"Mr. Marquis, this is a treasure. If this thing is installed on the window, you won't need to light candles in the room during the day."

After all, I do construction. The first thing I do is to use this thing in my old business.

"It's not just this purpose. With this thing, we can eat fresh fruits and vegetables even in winter. Hehe, let the people in Chang'an eat dried vegetables."

Yun Xiao thought that these days, either eating dried vegetables or garlic sprouts, and finally there were off-season vegetables to eat, and there would never be any swords and guns on his hands again. He thought that he was in the greenhouse, and he wanted to eat cucumbers and cucumbers, and he would eat watermelons. Oh, he drooled when he thought about it. Damn, no one was allowed to touch this first batch of glass, and I would use it to repair the greenhouse.

I want to eat off-season vegetables.

"Crash"

A crisp and broken sound came into Yun Xiao's ears, awakening the marquis who was fantasizing from his dreamy state.

The glass was broken, and Master Geng was crying with blood in his hands. Old Yu was holding the hammer in his hand and felt embarrassed.

He didn't dare to let this old guy break his hand, Yun Xiao hurriedly advised Master Geng.

"This thing is crispy and cannot be smashed with a hammer. You always let go. If you thorn your hands, you are not a joke." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
