The transformation process of the kiln factory was actually faster than Qin Yong expected.

The main reason is that the process of refining pottery in this era is indeed similar to that of refining glass. For example, whether it is pottery or glass, in fact, it needs to be burned at high temperature in a melting kiln, which is about 12ooc or more. Therefore, in this regard, Qin Yong naturally did not need to make much changes to the furnace.

Then there are the raw materials for refining glass, Qin Yong originally thought that the raw materials for refining glass, such as quartz sand, soda ash, etc., would be more troublesome to find. However, he later learned that things like quartz sand were actually the main raw materials for refining ceramics, so the kiln he bought had them in them.

As for soda ash, although he can't make it for a while, he knows that in fact, there are many naturally occurring soda crystals in nature. So, he just described the characteristics of those soda crystals to the potters in the kiln factory, and the result was that someone immediately remembered that there was a mine in a place where this kind of thing was originally produced.

It's just that ordinary people don't know what these soda crystals are actually for, so usually, these soda crystals are directly discarded by the mines.

"Haha, it's all a waste of time. You guys, go and help me get these crystals back right away. How much you have, how much you buy! ”

As soon as Qin Yong heard that this naturally formed soda crystal was so unpopular in this era, he immediately became happy. So, in the following time, he sent several rings such as qinqi, calligraphy and painting, to various mines, and picked those soda crystals that no one liked to buy.

And what about the owners of those mines? Originally, I thought that these soda crystals were useless, so. There was not much price increase. You know, they put it in place, but it was still too much of a hindrance, so they simply bought all the qin, chess, calligraphy and paintings at a very low price.

And with the addition of such a large batch of soda crystals, Qin Yong's kiln factory finally officially began operation.

"Aunt....... Uncle, in this kiln, it's really ...... Can you really make that kind of clear and transparent glass? ”

"Of course, but whether it can be successful or not the first time will be known after a while."

Before opening the kiln for the first time. The confidence in Qin Yong's heart is actually not very great. There is no way, although he knows the basic principles of making zuò glass. However, after all, he has never operated it himself, so he really doesn't have much bottom in his heart when you say whether the first real yàn succeeds or not. However, he didn't worry about what happened next, because what he was thinking about was very simple. That is, if he can't succeed once, then he can do it twice, and if he doesn't succeed twice, he can do it three times. Anyway, it's going to be successful.

However, what he didn't expect was the fact that. This "success" came earlier than he imagined, because this was the first time the kiln was really opened. The little girls of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting screamed loudly on the side.

Ryu...... Glass! It's really glass! ”

"yes, and, really...... It's really much better than the common glass. Such a big piece, starting ...... It must be worth at least a hundred taels of silver. ”

"Uh......"

Hearing the words of a few little girls, Qin Yong took another look at the so-called "glass", and he smiled bitterly at that time. That's right, their first realization, is indeed "successful". However, this "success" is a little smaller, because, although the quartz sand and soda crystals do have chemical changes under the high temperature, and the result is something similar to "glass", but the size and shape of this "glass" are inevitably a little too unsatisfactory.

It's like the so-called "big" glass that is enough to cause those little girls to scream, in fact, it's just the size of Qin Yong's palm. Moreover, its surface is uneven at all, and even from the glass, you can see quartz ore and soda crystals that have not yet fully biochemically reacted. Therefore, Qin Yong was naturally dissatisfied. Because, the glass he is going to produce must be completely similar to the flat glass of later generations. So, you can see that he shook his head and said, "It's still ...... Not yet! All these things are gone. ”

"What? All down? Nun...... Uncle, this ...... It's not good! You know, here you add up, at least a thousand taels. Only...... It would be a shame if it just fell like this. ”

"yes, yes. Uncle, if you really don't like it, can you ...... You can give it to our young lady, our young lady will definitely like it. ”

"That's it, that's it."

Hearing Qin Yong's words, the four little girls in Qinqi, calligraphy and painting suddenly felt a pain in their flesh, so they couldn't help but speak out one after another.

It's no wonder, after all, in their minds, this so-called glass is still a hard currency comparable to gold and silver. Therefore, whether it is naturally formed or artificially made, they will actually regard it as a treasure. Even so, this "treasure" is actually more like a semi-finished product in Qin Yong's view. However, they still want to stay.

It's just that Qin Yong's thoughts are very different from theirs. That's right, even if it's this kind of Cheng dù's glaze, in fact, if he just sells it now, he may be able to sell it for a very high price. However, he did not intend to do so. Because, he knows very well that in the future, when he really produces the kind of glass that is smooth and transparent enough, the price of the glass will definitely fall. In particular, the naturally formed glaze and the semi-finished products he currently makes himself. What's more, inside this semi-finished product, there are still some quartz sand and soda crystals that have not completely completed the chemical reaction, which is the danger of leakage, so he naturally will not take it out and sell it.

However, a few little girls said not to waste it, but Qin Yong accepted it, so his final decision was to smash all these semi-finished glasses into pieces, and then prepare to sprinkle them into the small pool of their house, the purpose is to add a little scenery in their small pool, after all, in their small pool, there are a lot of ornamental fish, so it is indeed good to add some glass shards to decorate it.
