Chapter 251: Prepare!
One day or the next, Zhu Zilong announced to the public that the thieves entered the palace last night and searched for the night. The assassin was covered, and then someone from the palace came to inform him. So, Zhu Zilong is ready to enter the palace in a few days, without it, the cheap emperor's father will have a banquet in a few days.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji has three major hobbies in life, spending money, engaging in banquets, and creating. and a bad habit that comes with it, pampering traitors.
This time, Zhu Zilong decided to bring some dry goods to the palace. only decided to get the holy favor, and even did not hesitate to go against the prince and gang up, naturally Zhu Zilong's mentality was different.
(Isn't it just incidentally suspicious of the crown prince?) At the banquet, you can take the opportunity to get the prince's fingerprints, and the informant goes to the prince's mansion to steal the prince's belongings, and it is not impossible to get fingerprints, but the risk is very high, and it is easy to startle the snake. )
In his room, he retired from the back of the people. Zhu Zilong summoned most of the things in his personal space, and with the lottery three times a day for most of the year, he is now tired of a lot of good things.
The lottery is not a one-time draw, it is random. It was possible to get a pen, or ten boxes of food, or even a van, but the type and quantity were uncertain.
In addition to the personal space, except in the work area in some basement, there are also some stored. If it is used by Zhu Zilong personally, these modern, semi-modern, and semi-alien supplies are estimated to be used until the day he dies, and they will not be used up.
Glancing at the things on the ground, Zhu Zilong's head was big for a while.
Famous brands such as Rejoice, Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Icalus, Sassoon, and Luxe are piled up in a big corner. There are also bath products such as Soothing, Olay soap and shower gel, and carmel. As well as baby care series: Pampers, good father, good mother, feminine hygiene products: Hushubao, Duoduo, Anerle.
As well as laundry detergent brands, Tide, Bilang, Lanno. Skincare range: Olay skincare.
Men's Skincare Series: Gillette (Facial Cleanser, Body Lotion, Gel, etc.) Battery Series: Duracell and so on! But if you look closely, it seems that they are all Procter & Gamble's, and Zhu Zilong doesn't want to keep them.
Because, in the 21st century, Procter & Gamble is a foreigner as a big boss, so it is difficult to say that these are domestic products.
Zhu Zilong pondered carefully, and unknowingly, all aspects of our lives for future generations of Chinese people competed to let foreign products occupy the market. Alas!
Of course, many of the brand-name products mentioned above are also produced in China. Just let Procter & Gamble buy it, and the main money was made by foreign bosses. But the product can still be regarded as domestic, which can barely be regarded as a comfort!
Walking closer, Zhu Zilong picked up a modern glass on the table and fell into thought.
In ancient China, glass was not a rare thing, but its purity was not as high as in modern times.
Some people think that glass and plastic, is a new material invented and manufactured in modern times, but in fact, glass is one of the earliest man-made materials invented by human beings, between bronze and iron, the earliest existing glass products were found in the two river basins of more than 4,000 years, and the glass products in China appeared much later, about 2,500 years ago.
The main raw material for making glass is quartz sand, which can be made from quartz sand alone. Not to mention anything else, Zhu Zilong now has this kind of ore near Huishan.
However, this does not mean that Zhu Zilong can make glass immediately.
Because, the melting point of quartz sand is 1750 °C, such a high temperature was unattainable in ancient times. Even if he wanted to invent the blast furnace, the time schedule was not in place for the time being. And it is not necessarily guaranteed that it will be invented, and it will take more and more and more to try.
"As long as one is not careful, the purity is not good, it is garbage, one second heaven, one second hell. Therefore, in ancient times, some people regarded relatively pure glass as a luxury that could be compared with gold and precious stones, right? Zhu Zilong put the glass away and thought to himself silently.
According to the information that Zhu Zilong now obtained from the instructor of the main god system, the process technology of making glass is in hand.
However, the first high requirement for the manufacture of glass is to have a pot that is resistant to high temperatures. The second difficulty in making glass is soda ash, but there should be something to replace it. For example, one was to use plant ash, which was used in European countries for a long time. But keep it a secret from the countries of the East!
The last difficulty should be how to remove the air bubbles in the glass slurry, if it cannot be removed cleanly, then the resulting glass will be ugly and easy to break.
The treatment method of modern factories is to add dioxide compounds, and Zhu Zilong can use nitric acid, that is, saltpeter, to replace. However, considering that a large amount of saltpeter may be used for military inventions in the future, and the output is not particularly large in the Song Dynasty, Zhu Zilong feels a little egg pain and flesh pain!
"Arsenic, perhaps?" Zhu Zilong thought to himself.
Arsenic is added to the molten glass, and when the arsenic enters the molten glass, steam is generated due to the high temperature, which can finally quickly carry away the small bubbles. However, adding arsenic to the scorching liquid glass and sublimating it into a large amount of highly toxic vapor should directly poison the workers to the ground, right?
Thinking that arsenic is not cheap, and there will be safety stories, Zhu Zilong is uncertain again.
-
In the end, Zhu Zilong chose some daily chemical products, after touching the words on the package. It was also equipped with some glassware, ready to be used as a gift for the emperor's father to go to a banquet in a few days and bargain for the emperor's father.
There are a lot of things here, but you can't give too many at once, otherwise it will be easy for people to feel that they are not very cherished if they are easy to get.
"The matter of rubber has entered normal. Maybe I can take the time to do a glass experiment in the next few days, even if it doesn't work, it's okay. After talking to himself, Zhu Zilong, when he walked out of the studio, received an advance notice from Yang Zhilai.
said that he had already picked up Pan Jinlian and arrived at the Happy Forest, and Zhu Zilong also replied easily: "This king knows, but he will enter the palace in the next few days, and there are other important things." Things are different now. In order to avoid misleading the truth, Pan Jinlian will first be arranged to work in the newspaper. Let's just say that it is the meaning of this king, if Wu Erlang asks, he will say that the matter of Wuda and Pan Jinlian is because of me, so I naturally have to take care of and persuade one or two. And all the female talents in the newspaper are just right for this! ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!"
In the following time, after consulting with the instructor of the main god system, Zhu Zilong finally learned of a better alternative to the purification glass technology.
"Fine Salt"!
As long as the fine salt in the right proportion is added and stirred long enough, the vast majority of air bubbles in the glass slurry will disappear.
Not only that, but the streaks and stones in the liquid glass will eventually disappear completely, and the liquid glass will become completely uniform and transparent. This was the method used to make early optical glass, not to mention commercial-grade glassware.
