Chapter 81: The Devil Descends from the Sky
Zhu Di had just chatted with Empress Xu for half an hour, and his mood was a lot more comfortable, when suddenly a little eunuch came, knelt down with a pop, and shouted with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, Princess Baoqing is gone." ”
The two of them stared at each other with big eyes.
What does it mean to be gone?
The little eunuch knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, and said timidly: "Maybe I've gone outside the palace." ”
The two couples have black lines on their faces.
It's really tireless, now that my heart is so ambitious, who will dare to ask for it in the future.
Zhu Di looked at the appearance of this little eunuch and knew that he knew the truth, but he was afraid of something, so he didn't dare to say it directly, and asked in a cold voice: "Who took her out?" ”
The little eunuch didn't dare to say.
Zhu Di snorted angrily, "Say! ”
The little eunuch was taken aback, "It's Eunuch Ma." ”
Zhu Di and Queen Xu glanced at each other, and they both smiled helplessly, Ma Sanbao, this guy, how could Xiao Baoqing come from Hu, but then again, with him, Xiao Baoqing can't do anything wrong.
Let her go.
Empress Xu was a little worried, "Will you really go and give the dusk to ......?"
Zhu Di was stunned.
With Xiao Baoqing's temperament, this is really possible.
……
……
Not possibly, it's true.
In the glazed workshop under Zhongshan, the gray face with a mask and a grim expression, the kiln that was silently watching with his hands behind his back was neatly filled with dozens of beakers that had been processed by the return process on a row of supports.
Fill the beaker with water.
Each beaker has a corresponding marking, and the borax ratio is from low to high.
It is really not too difficult to make a beaker of high-temperature resistant glass, after all, the process mastered by Lao Li can already make glass, what needs to be done is to remove impurities to make colorless glass, and then find the addition ratio of borax, which can be perfectly made.
After nearly a month of working day and night, the answer was revealed again today.
This month, I failed six times!
Ignition.
Fan.
The flames were blazing and blazing.
Generally, ordinary glass can withstand temperatures below 600 degrees, and the beaker needed at dusk must withstand at least 1,000 degrees, so a high proportion of borax is added to the quartz stone, the main raw material of the beaker.
The temperature gradually increases.
Without a thermometer, it is difficult to determine how many degrees it is, but it is common sense to rely on the temperature of the flame fanned out by manpower to reach a maximum of 15 or 600 degrees.
Crack!
A beaker with a low borax ratio is the first to break.
Lao Li sighed.
The dusk side does not change color.
Crack!
Another beaker shattered.
As the flame temperature got higher and higher, the beakers broke one by one, and when the flame temperature rose to about 800 degrees, there were only three beakers left of the dozens of beakers.
Lao Li was already desperate and sighed: "It's really impossible." ”
A few long-term workers standing around whispered, they took their wages to do things, as for what the owner wanted to do was not interested at all, but a little curious, I had never seen the glass workshop make the glass utensils and put them on the flame to test.
Doesn't that make it clear that you're going to fail?
How can the glass withstand such a high temperature.
The dusk still does not change color.
The temperature continued to rise, with three crackling sounds, and the last three beakers shattered.
Lao Li fell and sighed.
Dusk picked up the ledger on a small table next to him, dipped it in ink with a homemade quill pen, quickly recorded the results of the experiment, and finally came to the conclusion that the purity of quartz stone was still not enough, and the ratio of borax was too small.
After the seventh failure, success is getting closer.
Pulling Lao Li aside and saying the summary after the experiment, Lao Li looked embarrassed, "This is already the best raw material, and the ratio of borax is also extremely high, no matter how high it is, I'm afraid it won't be easy to blow the shape." ”
Dusk shook his head, "This problem must be overcome, blow this level, you are an expert, I believe you can solve it." ”
Lao Li nodded helplessly, "Let's try again." ”
Anyway, there is money in Dusk.
This thing is really a lot of money, just this month has smashed dozens of taels of silver, but he didn't get a finished product, Lao Li doesn't care what the things made at dusk are for, he just thinks that this job seems impossible to achieve.
Dusk elaborated on some craft suggestions, and finally sighed: "Let's try again." ”
Flasks and the like are a must.
If you want to engage in industry, you can't do without chemical industry, and if you want to do a good job in chemical industry, beakers, flasks, gooseneck flasks, and measuring cylinders are also indispensable.
That's the basics.
Said to many small workers: "Today's holiday, wages will be paid, tomorrow you will hurry up a little earlier, the next will be processing plus points, continue to make more experimental supplies, I solemnly announce here, once successful, send ten taels of silver reward!" ”
This group of workers is important.
Once successful, then it will be the best and most experienced worker, and the future will be the technical chief engineer of my Huang's chemical enterprise.
Money talks.
Ten taels of silver is really not a small amount of money.
A few small workers cheered up, one of them was more shrewd, very good at sycophants, and said with a smile What kind of holiday is there, brothers will start work now, and you can just tell the owner.
Others had to chim.
I didn't have the heart to be reluctant, the owner was generous, a month's salary was three taels of silver, and every day I would ask Lao Li's yellow-faced wife to buy everyone good wine, meat, and fruits.
This treatment is unimaginable for other owners.
And everyone is looking forward to it.
Because Dusk said that once the glass workshop is back on track, the four-hour work system will be implemented.
There are only four hours in a day.
What is this concept...... Unthinkable concept.
Dusk is very moving.
Waving his hand, "Don't be in a hurry, let's go back and rest today, sharpen the knife and don't cut wood, you can also think about it, is there any way to improve the purity of the raw materials, if you can solve this problem, I can reward another ten taels of silver!" ”
There will be brave men under the great reward.
Not to mention, when it was time to leave at dusk, not only Lao Li stayed in the workshop and thought about it, but several other long-term workers also wisely chose to stay.
Money......
As long as you help the owner solve this problem, ten taels of silver!
Dusk turned around and walked out of the glass workshop, and a figure suddenly popped out in front of him, and patted Dusk's shoulder, "Hey, long time no see, what do you say is the matter with you, I've been messing around for so long, I'm impatient to wait in the palace, come out to help you, don't be too grateful to me." ”
Take a closer look, I wipe, this porcelain doll-like carved little girl is not Xiao Baoqing.
Not far behind him stood a middle-aged man in fancy clothes.
The meaning of hanging a sword on his waist is quite heroic, but it is feminine.
It is the hero of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Sanbao.
Behind Ma Sanbao, there were four people standing in a row, all dressed as eunuchs, with swords on their waists, and the momentum of a martial arts master was clear.
Dusk secretly thought that this was probably the prototype of the East Factory.
