Chapter 053: Making Glass

"I have a way to get the glass kiln to start work immediately, but," the fat man stared at the pack of cigarettes in Li Baoqiang's hand.

"Is there really a way? This box of cigarettes is for you. Li Baoqiang came to the momentum, he knew that the fat man would not play haha.

"Zhao Jiajia, my girlfriend's family is making glass handicrafts, she knows how to make glass." The fat man said proudly.

"What about your girlfriend, and they agreed?" Li Baoqiang said this, but he stood up excitedly and ran towards the classroom.

"Damn, I know that you are forgetful of profit, my cigarettes, my cigarettes ......" The fat man hurriedly followed Li Baoqiang.

Originally, Zhao Jiajia's little girl learned that she was defiled by He Qun, and her heart was burned, and she wanted to commit suicide. But the fat man confessed directly to himself at that moment, so that his injured body and mind were greatly comforted, and now Li Baoqiang came to ask her if she could produce glass, Zhao Jiajia finally had a place to use and a place to vent.

Zhao Jiajia played her true skills. As soon as the expert made a move, he knew if there was any, plus he was a geology major, Zhao Jiajia asked the fat man to lead the team to protect her, and accompanied her in the mountains for a few days and finally discovered several indispensable raw materials in the glass process, and at the same time, the relationship between the two of them also heated up rapidly, according to the fat man's words, that is.

After several tests, Zhao Jiajia's glass kiln began to be produced, and Li Baoqiang, Zhao Xiaoxiao, Zhang Juncai and others also came to watch with great interest.

According to the designed raw material formula, Zhao Jiajia weighed various raw materials such as quartz sand, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, boric acid and mixed them evenly in a mixer. The prepared raw materials are heated at high temperature to form a uniform bubble-free glass liquid.

This is a very complex physical and chemical reaction process. The melting of the glass takes place in a melting furnace. The melting kiln designed by Zhao Jiajia is simply a crucible kiln, where the frit is contained inside the crucible and heated outside the crucible. There are a total of ten crucibles in the glass yard, which are simultaneously ignited and melted with glass raw materials. There is a lot of coal, so it can be used openly.

A viscous liquid slowly formed in the crucible, and then Zhao Jiajia motioned for the fat man to come up and blow it. I saw the fat man walk up to the front desk with a long thin iron pipe, pick out a ball of glass solution from the crucible, and then puff up his cheeks and blow while turning, and after a while, he blew out a glass bubble at the front end.

The fat man cut the glass bubble with scissors and put it on a table, the table is a flat iron plate, the fat man quickly used scissors to cut the glass bubble, or the sticky soft glass stretched out to both sides, the fat man took an iron stone, directly crushed the glass bubble into a thin cake, cut off the corners, a translucent, mixed with bubbles of glass plate made.

"Dangdangdang, the fat husband and wife glass workshop officially opened today!" The fat man shouted excitedly.

Li Baoqiang and the others also saw the production of glass for the first time, and they were also excited, "Great, the food plan can be launched." Li Baoqiang patted the fat man.

"Do you know what's the most expensive right now? Talent, boss, can you give me a long salary? "The fat man is joking, it is indeed a joke, where is the salary in the end of the world, those colorful tickets are not as exciting as a vegetable dumpling.

In the following days, Zhao Jiajia also found the joy of life, that is, in addition to making glass pieces, he also made a large number of molds, made many glass cups and bottles from leftovers, and even made more than a dozen small mirrors, which satisfied the love of beauty for all girls in the hope village.

Li Baoqiang pulled the fat man out of the husband and wife glass workshop, the fat man and Zhao Jiajia have been enthusiastic recently, like lacquer, and they don't want to leave Zhao Jiajia at a step. Li Baoqiang and the fat man want to escort the glass to the Tibetan Soldier Cave together.

A few days ago, when the glass was being made, Li Baoqiang had already gone to the Tibetan Soldier Cave and saw Huayang leading the villagers to work with great interest. Seeing Huayang's vigorous appearance and sweeping away the previous madness, Li Baoqiang thought with satisfaction that a person is really a strange animal, and if he finds his accurate positioning, he can completely change a person's appearance.

Li Baoqiang groped in the cave for a day, and finally identified more than a dozen places where windows could be opened. He asked the others to hide far away, and used nitroglycerin to blow up more than a dozen small holes, because the amount of nitroglycerin was controlled, the explosion did not shake the earth, nor did it cause the collapse of the Tibetan Soldier Cave, which was still so strong.

The glass windows were installed, and the sunlight poured into the cave, and the cave became bright. Huayang jumped high excitedly: "Great, constant temperature, constant humidity, and plenty of sunlight, this hole is now the best production workshop." Hua Yang commanded the dozen or so male and female villagers, assembling glassware.

According to his requirements, Zhao Jiajia tried his best to make a large number of cylinder molds, poured into the glass solution, and finally made a glass cylinder about two meters high and forty centimeters in diameter. Under the careful escort of the fat man, the glass cylinders were safely sent into the cave and erected one by one.

More than 400 glass pillars of the same size for microalgae cultivation are erected in the cave, and the pillars are full of growing microalgae, and the microalgae that have been preliminarily cultivated are being further cultivated here. The bottom of the culture column is connected to the air pump through a pipe, and the air pump is operated by hand, similar to the previous use of sealing boxes in rural areas, which is operated by hand, although it is laborious, but those villagers are happy to do it, because Huayang tells them that this is one of the most important processes in the production of food.

From here, the simply sterilized air enters the column, where bubbles constantly bubble. This kind of bubble agitation, on the one hand, allows the microalgae to receive more uniform light, and on the other hand, allows them to contact more with the air, which is more conducive to growth; There is also a uniform row of pipes at the bottom of the column for collecting microalgae.

On one side of the cave are rows of petri dishes filled with green liquid, where the initial cultivation of microalgae is carried out, and the microalgae are in full contact with the air and multiply rapidly. Huayang said that this is a microalgae laboratory, where different kinds of microalgae can be screened and microalgae seeds can be propagated, which is equivalent to rice seedlings.

At this time, the sunlight shone in through the window, reflecting back and forth between the glass pillars, and the green of the algae was also reflected in the Tibetan Cave, and for a while Li Baoqiang and the others felt like they had come to the future world, which was really amazing.

"Based on the current algae species and production volumes, one ton can be produced every ten days." Huayang rubbed his hands excitedly, "If we add those wooden sheds on the hillside that are converted into mushroom production bases, then we don't have to worry about food problems anymore." ”

Li Baoqiang rubbed his nose, equally excited, the food problem was finally no longer a big problem that bothered him.
