Chapter 160: Successful Glass
Since float glass can't be realized at all, why did Li Ji let Guangyuanzi make a tin tank.
The reason why float glass cannot be realized is that the high-temperature glass water is easy to condense when it passes through the tin bath, resulting in uneven thickness of the glass.
Sometimes glass water splashed in the tin baths, and the workers were covered in injuries.
In the seventies, after long-term thinking, technicians designed electric heating equipment in the upper part of the tin bath.
It is simply impossible for Datang to achieve electric heating.
However, float glass can't be made in a big way, and some small objects can be made. For example, glasses, crystal crafts and the like, do not go to the face, do not deform, and have high transparency.
You know, making a pair of reading glasses in this era is of epoch-making significance.
Most of the old ministers in the court are old and dizzy, and their own mother, Empress Dowager He, is presbyopia.
"Let's go, I'm going to take a look."
The melting point of glass is more than 1,000 degrees, which is relatively simple to manufacture, and the difficult thing is the ratio of raw materials.
Guang Yuanzi strictly followed Li Ji's instructions and stuffed the raw materials into the furnace for firing.
Thanks to the charcoal in Bald Ridge, with this thing, the heat is easier to control.
In fact, the ancients already had a method of making glaze, and it was recorded in the "Hanshu Western Regions Biography": (Yan Bin) "out of pearls, corals, tigers, and displacements", Yan Shigu quoted "Wei Luo": "The Great Qin Kingdom has ten kinds of displacement, such as red, white, black, yellow, green, red, purple, etc. "The Biography of the Great Yue Family of Wei Shu" said: "The merchants of its countrymen can cast stones from Yunneng to leave glass for the five-colored king."
Li Ji also crossed the river by feeling the stones, and with the strength of everyone, after melting, blowing, quenching, and one process after another, the first piece of glass was finally born.
Zhu Youneng's eyes were as round as a cow, which was like a magic reappearance in his eyes, and he could create something so flat, smooth, and transparent.
The doglegs were also stunned, and even Guang Yuanzi, who was doing it himself, opened his eyes in surprise.
Yang Guest and Li Nanguang were brought by Zhu Youneng together, and the two of them were also stunned.
In addition to Li Ji, the ordinary things of glass in later generations can be called a miracle in this era.
Guang Yuanzi handed over a piece of diamond, Li Ji measured the size with a wooden ruler, and then gently scratched it with the diamond. Then with a slight force, the glass falls in response to the hand, and the cutting surface is smooth and flat.
I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients, diamond has long been used to cut porcelain or jade in ancient times.
Wan Zhen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wrote "Nanzhou Foreign Body Chronicles": "King Kong, stone also, its shape is like a pearl, strong and clear, foreigners are good to decorate the ring, and the service can ward off evil."
Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty commented on the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the West Mountains" and said: "Today, the diamond is like gold, the stone is like gold, there is brilliance, and jade can be carved." This is the etymology of "diamond".
Li Ji nodded, it seemed that he was very satisfied: "Guangyuanzi, you listen well." The glass is cut into this square shape, and the scraps can be further re-baked. ”
Guang Yuanzi's eyes were straight, and he only felt that his throat was dry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let's send it!"
Li Ji smiled, he looked at Zhu Youneng: "Brother Zhu, let's get rich."
Zhu Youneng was already stunned: "It's made, it's made, it's made a fortune, if you use it to make a window, who the hell still uses paper."
The ancients, including the windows of the imperial palace, were made of white paper, where there were ever bright and clean glass windows.
"Guest Yang, Li Nanguang!" Li Ji beckoned to the two.
The five-body throw to the ground that these two people have long admired is worthy of being the son of heaven who is a real dragon, and he is really omnipotent and omniscient, and the two hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.
"I order you two to gather a group of carpenters around here and have them cut the glass. Guang Yuanzi, you cooperate with them. ”
Everyone received the order to thank him, and Li Ji stayed in Shigou Cliff for three or four days. The glass manufacturing was surprisingly smooth, and according to Li Ji's instructions, Guang Yuanzi and others made a batch of reading glasses and some handicrafts through the tin liquid float method.
Zhu Youneng danced, and the two of them took dog meat and eagles to hunt in Shigou Cliff and hunt some small animals, while Miyagi had already blown up.
Fuquan is like a child who has done something wrong, and he is squeezed by the ministers in the Wende Hall and cannot get out.
"Say! Where is Your Majesty! Dugu Shu rolled up his sleeves and tugged at the placket of Fuquan's clothes.
"Hey, hey, Dugu Xianggong, pay attention, pay attention to cultivation, we are all readers." Yu Shi Cui Yuan pulled him.
Dugu is skinny, and the two are not the opponents of Fuquan, a foodie. At this moment, he dragged Fuquan like a gangster fighting and didn't let go: "You dog slave, don't say anything about going down to Dali Temple!"
The disappearance of the emperor is a major event that has changed dramatically, how can the ministers not panic.
Fu Quan is an honest man, and he will not see them in general, and the ministers are like wolves and tigers, squeezing him in the corner and shivering. If this is promising, he will be used to heaven by Li Ji, whether you are a prime minister or not, you dare to scold me as a dog slave, I am afraid that I will already ridicule you.
"Well, the slave and maid will tell you all the adults. Your Majesty, Your Majesty went to the Shigou Cliff of Xishan. "Fu Quan was forced to recruit it.
"What!" Dugu let go of his hand in shock: "Nonsense!" The dignified son of heaven doesn't know state affairs, so he went to that reckless place, what kind of system did he become! ”
Next to him, Zhao Zhanguo pulled away Dugu Loss: "Let me ask you, who did Your Majesty go with?"
Fuquan was cautious: "And, the second son of Heguang Wangfu."
"Humph! I knew it was going to be him. Zhao Zhanguo said angrily.
However, few people dared to scold Zhu Youneng, and the ministers did not dare to provoke this loser, which does not mean that no one can clean him up.
Dugu raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go, go to Jishan Palace to find the Queen Mother!"
It was really a response, and the ministers went to Jishan Palace.
Li Ji secretly left the palace, Empress Dowager He did not know. When she heard that the emperor was walking, she couldn't help but be furious: "Nonsense! How can this king of Guang discipline the child, how can he be so ignorant. ”
Empress Dowager He is extremely smart, she will not throw the pot to Li Ji. She didn't want Li Ji to be questioned by the courtiers, and the emperor must maintain his majesty at all times. The culprit is Zhu Youneng, who hooked up with Li Ji and ran away.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the broken drum was beaten by 10,000 people. The ministers have long been dissatisfied with this loser, and for a while, the Jishan Palace was full of emotion.
Dugu said: "The minister heard that the second son of the king of Naguang did all kinds of evil and ran rampant in the capital."
Cui Yuan nodded: "Exactly, this guy doesn't know what kind of moth he made in that West Mountain, and he actually deceived His Majesty." The stone ditch cliff of Naxi Mountain is desolate, if Your Majesty has three long and two short, who can afford this responsibility! ”
Empress Dowager He frowned, her memory was surprisingly good: "The mourning family remembers correctly, this Xishan belongs to Zhao Yushi's family, right?"
Zhao Zhanguo was frightened, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, that Shigou Cliff is indeed a minister's. But the second son of Naguang Wangfu had to persecute his ministers, and exchanged the hundred hectares of land in his family's east city in exchange, and threatened not to let his ministers live in peace if he didn't change him. ”
Empress Dowager He was very surprised: "This Guangwang Dongcheng is a fertile field, why are you willing to exchange the desolate West Mountain with you?"
Fuquan raised his hand timidly: "Queen Mother, the slave knows."
