Chapter 48 How can earth-based glass be reliable?

Put the things in the truck, and after breakfast, Zhu Zilong looked at the time.

He is thinking about 80% of the strong and steel pipes, and now there are 10% of the medicines, and only 10% of the goods that can be brought back to the Ming Dynasty remain, so what should he bring?

If it is shown on the form, it is naturally a daily chemical product.

However, it was decided that for the time being, it would not expand rapidly outward, and the idea of strengthening it first. Zhu Zilong thought about it and decided to take a more high-end route!

The daily chemical products I brought last time are all copycat third-rate goods, which can be produced in small workshops, and this time I want to support genuine goods.

So, it didn't take long for Zhu Zilong to appear in the county P&G daily chemical products chain store.

Procter & Gamble amp; Gamble, abbreviated as Pamp; amp; G)

In 2008, Procter & Gamble was the 6th largest company in the world by market capitalization and the 14th most profitable company in the world. It is also the 10th most highly regarded company in the Fortune 500.

Of course, saying so much is not to say how it is beef ratio.

It's just that many young people in China are now using P&G's genuine daily chemical products, which can be described as a household name.

(The author is also using, well, men, sometimes you have to take care of it, otherwise how to pick up girls, how to stabilize the hearts of women who have arrived?) Don't think that you just have to be rich, you have to be handsome. )

What, you say I'm not handsome? You're not handsome either, and you don't have any money?

Well, that little should maintain a clean and sunny image, right? Then practice deception, oh no, it's eloquence, (sweet words) It's also able to trick women into their hands, brothers, come on!

We usually use rejoicing, Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Ikalu, Sassoon and other famous brand shampoos and the like.

There are also bath products such as Soothing, Olay soap and shower gel, and carmel. Baby Care Range: Pampers. Women's hygiene products series: Hushubao, Duoduo.

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!

Actually, that, to put it bluntly, Khan!

It's all Procter & Gamble, is there a sudden feeling of being scary?

Nima, pit daddy.

Procter & Gamble is a foreigner as a big boss, what about our domestic products, and I am dizzy when I say that good domestic products should be self-reliant!

Unconsciously, every aspect of our lives has allowed foreign products to 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!

Compared with the previous third-rate small workshop daily chemical products, this P&G's daily chemical products are naturally on a higher level.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods.

Now bring these genuine daily chemical products back to the Ming Dynasty, and the amount is not much, as long as it is launched, I believe that the high and low will be decided, this hunger marketing will be successful, hahaha!

Seeing that there is still one last bit of space that should be arranged, Zhu Zilong is wondering if he should bring some glassware back.

Many time-traveling novels mention that glass was used as an artifact to make money in ancient times.

But there were some glasses in the last shipment, why didn't they receive rave reviews from the Ming Dynasty?

"Could it be that the glass wasn't purely transparent last time, and there were some cracks when it was teleported?" Zhu Zilong touched his chin and analyzed seriously.

I have to say that this possibility is really possible. Of course, I'm afraid there is another reason!

In the late Ming Dynasty, the golden tube said that the sea was banned, but that was only on the surface. In addition, there are pirates nearby, and there are Franco-suckers who drive ocean-going ships to develop the oriental market!

In fact, glass is not a rare thing, but the purity is not as high as that of modern times.

The name Francois is the name of the Ming Dynasty for people such as Portugal and Spain. It was originally a name used by Turks, Arabs, and other Oriental peoples to refer to Europeans before modern times.

At the same time, it was also introduced to the Ming Dynasty by Western artillery. Also known as the Furlong cannon!

Western artillery was invented in Europe, and was introduced to China by Portugal in the first year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1522), according to its country name "Franc machine".

In the first year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1522), He Ru, who was then the inspector of Guangdong, saw a new type of artillery on the Spanish and Portuguese merchant ships anchored here, with a range of 2,000 feet, and in the third year of Jiajing (1524), he obtained the method of making it, and began to improve a large number of cottages.

(It turns out that China's cottage tradition has been around for a long time?) Sweat! )

Thinking about it, Zhu Zilong felt that glass could be profitable, but it was better to use modern technology to open a workshop in the Ming Dynasty to develop.

After all, because when the teleportation array crosses, there will be strange shock waves. Metals and hard objects are good to say, like glass and the like, which take up space, and 90% of the iron will produce some small cracks, and it is not worth a few dollars to transport them.

At that time, as long as the difficult equipment for the production of glass is passed, for example, the first high requirement for the manufacture of glass is a pot with high temperature resistance.

After all, making a pot is also a technique, and if you don't master the technology well, it will easily explode in use. The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were limited by technology and materials, and may not have been able to produce such a cauldron that met the requirements.

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!

However, as a modern person, there is a lot of information to refer to, but Zhu Zilong knows it. In terms of his own territory in the Ming Dynasty near the sea, seagrass ash is more convenient, and the effect is higher than that of grass ash on land!

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 X dioxide, which of course will not work in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhu Zilong can use nitric acid, that is, saltpeter, instead.

However, considering that saltpeter will be used in large quantities in the military in the future. It seems to be a bit painful and wasteful?

So, Zhu Zilong went to the bookstore to check the content of the books and periodicals in this area.

He was able to find a few substitutes for saltpeter, one of which was arsenic. Arsenic is added to the molten glass, and when the arsenic enters the molten glass, steam is generated due to the high temperature, which eventually carries away the small bubbles.

However, adding arsenic to the scorching liquid glass and sublimating it into a highly toxic vapor should have poisoned the workers to the ground. It's an act of extermination!

This is too bad!

Unless every Ming Dynasty worker was issued a gas mask, it could still kill someone.

In addition, arsenic was not cheap in the Ming Dynasty, and the cost went up, which seemed undesirable.

Zhu Zilong, who was speechless, searched in the bookstore for an hour or two with his new ability to never forget, and finally found a home remedy.

Use fine salt to remove air bubbles from glass slurry!

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. According to the description in this book, early optical glass was made in this way, not to mention commercial-grade glassware.

Seeing this, Zhu Zilong grinned.

Ha, my brother is the captain of the Ming Dynasty Chengguan who is in charge of salt smuggling, and fine salt can also be made, God help me!
