"Your Highness, this is a pipe for blowing glass. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ“

The material was heating up, and Chen Qi gave him a ceramic tube.

After the molten glass is formed, if you want the glass to form any shape, you need to blow it at this time.

In fact, this is the key point in glass production, because the temperature of the glass solution is too high, and Xiao Ming does not have a heat-resistant alloy tube, so he can only use clay to fire a clay pipe, after all, it is impossible for him to produce a seamless steel now.

On both sides of the regenerator, the craftsmen took turns pulling the blowers to blow the heat of the coal in the regenerator into the furnace, and after waiting for an hour, Xiao Ming asked the craftsman to open the lid of the furnace.

Suddenly a stream of heat gushed out of the furnace, and the craftsman was so frightened that he ducked far away, and only after he had settled down did he slowly walk to the furnace, which was filled with churning red liquid.

At this time, he said, "Your Highness, the things in here have melted. ”

Xiao Ming stepped forward at this time, and sure enough, there was a liquid like magma inside, which was liquid glass.

"Give me the blowpipe." Xiao Ming said to Chen Qi.

Knowledge Xiao Ming can be passed on to everyone, but the actual operation must be practiced, and no one can become a glass master at once.

The blowpipe in Chen Qi's hand is about 1.5 meters long, which is the standard blowpipe length of modern industry.

Taking over the blowpipe, Xiao Ming picked out a ball of molten glass from the furnace and quickly rolled one end of the molten glass on the rolling plate, which was to evenly distribute the molten glass.

At the same time, Xiao Ming blew into it and quickly blocked the tube with his hand, and a bubble soon appeared in the liquid glass.

Next, he repeatedly softens the glass in the furnace, coats it with molten glass, and finally feeds the molten glass into a mold.

While blowing and rolling, the molten glass quickly fills the mold.

After cooling, a not-so-good round-bottomed glass bottle appeared, Xiao Ming sighed, he was also on paper, and his skills were not good.

When he looked up in shame, he saw a room full of people with their eyes focused on the glass bottle, and their eyes were incredible.

Chen Qi muttered, "God, why is this bottle so beautiful." “

The other craftsmen were also amazed again and again, and their expressions when they looked at Xiao Ming were different, this King of Qi simply couldn't do it.

"See, this is glassblowing, of course, glassblowing is profound and profound, so you have to slowly practice the method I taught you, and produce all kinds of glassware, come on." Xiao Ming said cheekily.

There were a total of fifty craftsmen in the compound of the Instrument Division, and these craftsmen were all selected from among the slaves, and Xiao Ming taught each of them a kind of blowing vessel.

Hearing Xiao Ming's words, Chen Qi was the first to pick up the blowpipe and walk to the furnace, followed by the other craftsmen, because in their opinion, this glass was much more powerful than soap, perfume, and alcohol.

Xiao Ming did not leave in a hurry, but instructed the craftsmen in the blowing technique in the instrument department, and in a whole day, the liquid glass in the furnace was gone, in exchange for a large number of failed glass products.

Of course, this failure is relatively modern, in fact, these glass products can be used, and they can be sold for money, and he is ready to sell them to merchants.

The first failure is normal, Xiao Ming does not expect the craftsman to master glassblowing at one time, he can become proficient slowly, the most important thing is that the glass industry has taken the lead, using glass, he can do a lot of things and earn a lot of silver.

After a busy day, Xiao Ming took his handicrafts back to the palace.

Aster and Pothos were coming back from outside at this time, and when they saw the bottle in Xiao Ming's hand, Pothos suddenly exclaimed, "Your Highness, what is this, it's so beautiful." ”

Aster also came over, her eyes were full of little stars, and the girl automatically had no resistance to beautiful things.

"It's called glass." Xiao Ming said with a smile, his failed works are quite popular.

"Glass, such a beautiful thing must cost a thousand taels of silver." Since managing the food and drink of the palace, Aster has always been very sensitive to spending money.

"Ten thousand taels is about the same, I've never seen anything like this, is this made of jade?" Pothos wondered.

Xiao Ming was very satisfied with the reaction of pothos and aster, and the colonists in the seventeenth century had bought a large amount of land from the Indians with a few glass balls, which showed the value of glass in the hearts of people who had never seen it at that time.

"No, this glass was not bought by this king, nor is it made of jade, but produced by the Instrument Division." Xiao Ming solved the riddle, and then looked at the pothos and aster with satisfaction.

"Produced by the Department of Equipment?" Pothos' eyes rolled, "Your Highness, can you give me this glass?" I don't eat chicken anymore. “

"Hehe, yes, come over tonight, this king will check your body, have you grown taller again?" Xiao Ming smiled evilly.

The pothos and aster suddenly turned crimson, and they glanced at Xiao Ming and entered the palace.

Xiao Ming followed behind, looking like a hippie smile, and he always had to find some fun in his boring life.

After dinner in the evening and playing with pothos aster for a while, Xiao Ming returned to the dormitory and began to think about how to maximize the benefits of glass.

First of all, perfume, the bottle of drunken Qingzhou can be replaced, naturally, with the upgrading of packaging, a batch of high-end perfumes, fine wine will also be born.

However, the contents of the bottle basically do not change, only the packaging money is added, and he believes that there will be top elites willing to buy it.

Although the glass industry has just begun, the experience brought by Xiao Ming is enough for this industry to avoid exploring in the dark, but to move forward quickly on the bright road.

And just as Xiao Ming expected, in just ten days, the craftsmen who have been practicing can basically fire qualified glassware.

It's not perfect, but it's basically in line with his requirements.

During this period, many businessmen inquired about what he was doing in Qingzhou City, and the Wang family, the Qin family, the Sun family, and the Wei family were especially attentive.

For this reason, the four also specially asked Wang Shijie and Qin Mu, who were in charge of business outside, to call back.

"Your Highness, don't hide it, this will make us die in a hurry." Wang Shijie has been circling around Xiao Ming for the past two days.

Qin Mu also stood on one side, although he was not right with Wang Shijie, but in this matter, they were unified.

"What's the hurry, tomorrow, this king will exhibit this mysterious item to you in the East Market, and you will naturally be able to see it at that time." Xiao Ming said.

"Your Highness, can't you let us take a look at it first?" Wang Shijie does not give up.

Today's Wang Shijie no longer dares to call Xiao Ming a brother, because the current King of Qi is no longer the person who used to be able to send away with just a few silver tickets.

It is a vassal king who holds the power of life and death in the six states, and this change has slowly occurred imperceptibly.

If the Wang family used to be contemptuous of King Qi, now they are a little jealous.
