Following the direction pointed by Luo Youde, Hong Tao saw a large black crowd coming out of the village, and the one who hit the head was a golden guy, wearing a gold crown more than half a meter high on his head, and shining gold armor on his body, even the shoes on his feet were golden, and he was holding a golden stick in his hand, and there was a round thing at the top of the stick, and it was too far away to see what it was.

Behind the little golden man were more than a dozen silver glittering people, their outfits were similar to those in front of them, but the materials were different. After that, there were men dressed in white robes, and on the chest of each robe was painted a large golden sun, and there were golden flames around the sun, and in the middle was a mouse's head.

The group of people walked to the dock, and under the leadership of the little golden man, they all knelt on the ground, and they didn't know what they were talking about, anyway, the buzzing sound spread far and wide, and they could hear it when they stood on the boat.

"Don't look for it, your daughter-in-law isn't here, she's on top of the temple. There is your divine fire, which will not be extinguished day and night, and will burn several large vats of whale oil every month. By the way, you have two more sons, double rods, and one of them has a birthmark on the back, which is kind of like a tattoo on your back. It's really weird, tattoos can also be passed down from generation to generation? Luo Youde saw Hong Tao holding the telescope and touching it back and forth, so he knew who he was looking for and pointed to the pyramid.

"And who is this?" Hong Tao thought that the little golden man in front of him was a picture, but it turned out to be not.

"Your high priest, Joseph! Behind are the nineteen missionaries you have sealed, and now there are sixteen left, and three of them went out to preach and were bitten to death by poisonous snakes on the way. Where did you get these people, they're not human! The three who were bitten to death were made into human jerky and placed in your temple, saying that the three of them were devout to God, so they were called by God to heaven to enjoy happiness, and I had to give them three salutes when I went in...... What is this called? When Luo Youde saw Hong Tao, he had a stomach full of things to say, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to think of what to say, upside down, and the logic was a bit chaotic.

"Hahaha...... Don't be like them, they are people who have died once, they are not the same as normal people, the crazy hot spots can be understood, as long as it is not harmful to us, bear with it. Hong Tao couldn't help listening to it, he didn't expect Joseph and them to be able to toss better than Ouyang Qing, and they were more professional and fanatical. This is a good thing, at least for now, that the problem that I was most worried about was completely solved because of them. Looking at the thousands of white-robed people kneeling on the dock, it feels like watching a movie.

"Lao Luo, look, I'll get them a miracle again, you promise you've never seen it." With so many believers kneeling below, Hong Tao felt that just fooling them with words could not show his ability. It wasn't interesting to play the lighter trick again, so I touched my chin and thought about it, and got into the cabin.

"Come on, come on, take a hand, take a hand! The sea, the river, don't just look at it, come here, one person lifts one, and stands behind me! Soon, Hong Tao took out a wooden box from the cabin and wrapped it tightly. When opened, there were layers of straw and leather, each with a piece of glass sandwiched in the middle. Hong Tao picked up a piece and stuffed it in Luo Youde's hand, feeling that it was not enough, so he called the sea and the river over, stuffed one by one, and then lifted one by himself, looked up at the sun in the sky, and began to align the angle.

"It's ...... Glass? "Luo Youde has seen flat glass, but this glass is different from ordinary flat glass, it is coated with a thin layer of silver foil on the back! The glass is not transparent, but the glass can reflect anything in front of it, and Luo Youde is confused, and he can't tell whether the person in the glass is himself or not.

The things in Hongtao's box seem to be very ordinary in later generations, just a glass mirror, a two-foot square. However, in the thirteenth century, there was not even flat glass, let alone mirrors. This thing is a new product trial-produced in the Imperial Glass Factory, and due to process problems, the production is still very low. This box of glass mirrors had to be kept busy by the factory workers for at least two months.

The production process of this glass mirror is actually not complicated, the key point is that it is very troublesome to find the ratio of raw materials, and it is toxic. This thing wasn't made by Hong Tao, and it wasn't even the direction he pointed out.

When the flat glass was made, Hong Tao told Li Yaofu that by plating a thin layer of silver on one side of the glass, a glass mirror could be made, and the copper mirror could be thrown for a hundred streets. That's what he said at the time, how to put silver on glass, and there was an experiment in middle school called the silver mirror reaction, which was very clear. It's a pity that he didn't know where to go in that class, so he didn't take it at all.

However, the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional, Li Yaofu is really interested, and he continues to experiment, but unfortunately he has not succeeded once. No matter what form of silver it is, it will not stick to the smooth surface of glass. But this kid was not discouraged, what is more valuable is that he is not superstitious about Hong Tao's every word, he has brains, and he dares to innovate by himself. At a time when silver plating suffered repeated setbacks, he opted for a more mature technique called tin amalgamation.

What is tin amalgamation? If Li Yaofu didn't say it, Hong Tao wouldn't know. This is a very old alloy coating technology, to put it bluntly, it is to dissolve the tin foil with liquid mercury and then coat the metal.

According to Li Yaofu, this technique existed as early as the Tang Dynasty, and there were many goldsmiths and silversmiths in the Great Song Dynasty. It was originally made by alchemist Taoists, and when the tin was dissolved by mercury, it became something similar to silver water, which was called medicinal silver. Later, it was gradually applied to the mirror grinding process and the gilding process, and slowly developed into the silver plating and tin plating process. However, it is generally plated on copperware, and no one has ever tried to get it on the glass, and there is no raw material if you want to try it.

Li Yaofu was the first to experiment with tin amalgam on glass, and he succeeded, but he almost paid a dearly price for it. In his twenties, his hair fell out thinly, his gums bleed frequently, and he had a lot of allergic erythema on his skin. This is the cost of acquiring knowledge, on the road of research, many people will fall, but they are not sacrificed in vain, but use their lives to remind future generations, there is a big hole here!

With Hong Tao here, Li Yaofu is lucky again. When Hong Tao found out about his illness and asked him about the objects he touched on a daily basis, he immediately understood that the child was suffering from mercury poisoning. The only feasible measure was to keep him away from mercury and then wash his stomach with milk and copper sulphate solution. Fortunately, he had not been exposed to mercury vapor for too long, and the laboratory was also ventilated on all sides, and the degree of poisoning was not very serious, and he slowly began to recover after a few months of rest.

Fortunately, Li Yaofu basically succeeded, he used hundreds of experiments to find the approximate ratio of tin foil to mercury, and then Hong Tao personally guided and then experimented for less than a month, and found the most suitable ratio. Although the glass mirror produced by the tin amalgam method needs to be dissolved and dried for a long time, the production process of one mirror can take about a month, and a large amount of mercury is used and it is highly toxic, but the world's first real glass mirror was finally born, and it was named the Lev Mirror by the Imperial Parliament!

"This is a Yaofu mirror, which is much easier to use than a bronze mirror. I'll explain it to you later, but now I'll help me with a miracle. Hurry up, you stand behind me, hold the mirror high, side to the sun, and let the sun's rays reflect off the docks, just like me! Hong Tao didn't have time to explain the origin of these mirrors to Luo Youde, the boat was about to arrive at the dock, let's load the magic stick first, there are thousands of believers waiting below.

The mirror of four people, two feet square, must be shining in the sun. At this time, the flat glass is actually not very flat, and the coating behind it is even thicker, but the effect is better, because it can scatter more sunlight. Hong Tao's figure seems to have really walked out of the sun in all kinds of dazzling light, and no one can be blinded by the future generations, but now, these Indians who have never seen anything are blinded by a quasi-child!

"The light of the sun god will always shine on the devout believers, and they can give everything to the gods in order to enter the kingdom of God without night, God, have mercy on your people......" Originally, there were some people who had never seen Hong Tao casting spells who wanted to look up to see what divine power the divine envoy had, and when they saw that Hong Tao was suddenly shrouded in a bright light, they immediately put away the little careful thinking in their hearts, and the voice of prayer had to be louder than others, for fear of being seen through by God.

"Lao Luo, they all know Chinese?" Listening to the prayers of thousands of people in unison, Hong Tao was beautiful at first, and he was very satisfied with his urgency, but soon he reacted, these people were actually praying in Chinese!

"No, this is the language of God, and not knowing the language of God is ungodly, and even an old lady in her fifties or sixties has to learn it! You can't learn in vain, but you have to offer the best things in your house to God, such as girls who are not very old and not yet married! Luo Youde stood behind Hong Tao, holding the glass mirror high, and kept denouncing Hong Tao in his mouth.

"Holy! Joseph dares to spoil the girl in my name! "This time, Hong Tao didn't cover for Joseph, which was beyond his bottom line. This cult is only for the purpose of better ruling the locals, not for prestige, let alone for those living sacrifices, boys and girls.

"No, no, no, I didn't make it clear! They didn't spoil the girls, they just wanted them to go to the clergy school and become missionaries in the future. If you don't force it, those families won't let the girls come out, and the women here have to stay at home and work, starting from a very young age. Seeing that Hong Tao was about to be angry, Luo Youde knew that he hadn't explained it, so he hurriedly added.
