"There are many metals in this world that are similar to the color of silver, but you haven't found them yet!" In the laboratory in the backyard of the Mo Mansion, Morton turned his head to Wu Meiniang.

Merton's production of the tin amalgam mirror was used as a dowry to marry Princess Changle, so naturally it needed to be kept secret, so in the entire laboratory, there were only three people: Merton, Wu Meiniang, and Lao Zhangtou.

The old man on the side nodded thoughtfully and said, "The iron that has just been smelted is also extremely white, but it is very easy to rust, and it is not suitable for mirrors." ”

Merton nodded and said, "Yes, although iron is also white, it is not applicable, but there are not many that are not easy to rust and similar to the color of silver in this world, but there are also many of them, such as aluminum, tin, and mercury, and the focus I use today is mercury!" ”

"Mercury?"

Wu Meiniang's glasses lit up suddenly, if you talk about color, I'm afraid mercury is the most similar to the color of silver, otherwise it would not be called mercury.

Lao Zhangtou shook his head and said: "Although the color of mercury is similar to silver, the mercury drips on the ground like water droplets, and I am afraid it can't attach to the glass at all." ”

Wu Meiniang frowned suddenly, and looked at Merton puzzled.

Merton solemnly said to Wu Meiniang: "So as a teacher, I will teach you, the Mo family's ink skills are another great skill, that is, the method of alloy." ”

"The Law of Alloys!" Wu Meiniang hurriedly turned grim and listened carefully, she is now very persistent in the Mo family's ink skills, and she can't help but cheer up when she hears the stunts of the Mo family's ink skills.

"Young master, it's better for Lao Zhang to avoid it!" Lao Zhangtou said a little uneasy. Merton taught Wu Meiniang the Mo family's stunts, and he was afraid it would be appropriate for him to listen to them on the sidelines.

"Uncle Zhang, what do you say, you are still the hero of the Mo family, when did the Mo family's stunt hide from you!" Merton hurriedly persuaded.

"Thank you young master for your trust!" Old Zhang Tou was moved.

Merton took a deep breath and said solemnly: "The alloy method is not an original creation of the Mo family, but a mergam method born from Taoism!" Qi Nai alloy is also a different thing, through different proportions of mixing or smelting, different things, different proportions, and even different smelting methods, will have completely different effects. ”

Lao Zhangtou nodded solemnly and said: "What the young master said is very true, the effect of iron-smelting and steel-making of the Mo family is very different, but the materials are very different. It is rumored that the Taoist amalgamation method is even more miraculous, and it is a bit of a stone into gold. ”

Merton nodded and said: "The root of the amalgam method is mercury, but the teacher thinks that everything in this world can be applied, just ask, how many kinds of everything in this world is, two or even more mixed smelting, there will be endless new things, what a big science this will be, how broad is the prospect of the Mo family." Merton said in an impassioned voice.

Wu Meiniang was suddenly full of pride, and her young heart was encouraged by Mo Dun, and she suddenly nodded her head again and again, and suddenly had a great sense of belonging to the Mo family in her heart.

In fact, not only Wu Meiniang, but even the old Zhang Tou on the side was also excited, and Merton's alloy method opened up an endless knowledge to the Mo family.

"Now I will personally show you the method of alloy, although mercury cannot be attached to glass, but the teacher uses tin to mix with mercury." After Merton finished speaking, he picked up a complete piece of glass and placed it in front of the two of them, and at the same time pasted a piece of tin foil as thin as a cicada's wing to one side of the glass.

Wu Meiniang and Lao Zhangtou stared at Merton's movements one by one, not letting go of a trace of detail.

After Merton had done all this, he dripped some mercury on the glass, and sure enough, the mercury was like what the old man said, and the mercury was like a drop of water and was attached to the tin foil, and even rolled back and forth, and it could not touch the glass at all.

As time passed, the thin tin foil was slowly melted by the mercury, and Merton cleaned up the excess mercury and found that the original tin foil had become a viscous silvery-white liquid tin amalgamation, which was tightly stuck to the glass, without a trace of air, which perfectly solved the air problem.

"However, there are also risks when it comes to ink, for example, the mercury is toxic and volatile, and it should not be exposed for a long time, and it can no longer be carried out in a sealed space." Merton nodded.

"Remember!" Wu Meiniang was taught.

Merton gently turned over the unfinished mirror, revealing the front of the mirror, only to see that the three people in the mirror were clearly visible, without any notice, and there was no tin amalgam behind them, which was several times better than the silver mirror made by Wu Meiniang.

"This is the real magic mirror!" Wu Meiniang looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but be obsessed, but what she was obsessed with was not her appearance, but this amazing ink skill.

Before that, she almost thought that the silver mirror she had made was already the limit, but she didn't expect that Merton would change his method and create a more advanced mirror.

Lao Zhangtou couldn't help but show a trace of shock, although he claimed to be the first craftsman in Mojia Village, but in fact he was nothing without Merton, he had a superb craft, and he did nothing in the first half of his life, until he met the young master, he had a chance to show his strengths, and anything in the hands of Morton would have the effect of turning decay into magic.

Merton looked at the viscous tin amalgamation, shook his head, and said, "Although the teacher has solved the attachment problem, it is confirmed that mercury is not real silver after all, and if the real silver is crossed to the glass, then it is probably the real perfect mirror." ”

"How can silver be crossed over to glass?" Old Zhang was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but be stunned by Merton's whimsical ideas.

Merton laughed and said, "Not now, maybe one day in the future, there will be a Mo family disciple to complete it." ”

Wu Meiniang on the side secretly kept this in her heart, turned her head to look at the viscous tin amalgam on the back of the mirror and said worriedly: "But, master, now that the five-day period is coming, can this mirror be completed as scheduled?" ”

Merton laughed, pointed to a few sackcloth-covered items next to him and said: "This method of making mirrors is to be demonstrated by the master himself for you, and to teach you the skills of the Mo family, the real mirror has already been made, Uncle Zhang, is what I want ready?" ”

"Young master, don't worry, a little carpentry work is not difficult for my Lao Zhang!" The old man said, and took out a few well-made wooden frames.

A bare glass mirror naturally has nothing to look at, and Merton, who came from later generations, naturally saw all kinds of frame styles, and sent the drawings back to Mojia Village for production.

Lao Zhangtou lifted the linen cloth, revealing a few mirrors that had been made, a little carpentry naturally could not be difficult for Lao Zhangtou, under the gaze of Merton's master and apprentice, Lao Zhangtou began to assemble the mirror without a teacher, and soon, all the mirrors have been assembled.

At this point, the dowry for marrying Princess Changle has been prepared.
