Chapter 174, Glass

Previous Chapter

Sand can be used for other purposes in this world than just for building houses!

Glass!

According to Caesar's observations, almost all women's ornaments, whether in the Northwest or in Roland, were dominated by precious stones.

Aristocrats wear magic gems, while commoners have their own decorations!

But the cost of these magic gems is too high, all of them are made of auxiliary materials excavated in the magic ore layer, and without thousands of gold coins, they can't afford to buy a pebble-sized one, and even the decoration of civilians is a little mediocre.

And glass products are Caesar's latest money-making project!

Caesar is not a science man, so he doesn't know much about the process of making glass, but he also understands that when the sand is heated to a certain extent, it turns into crystals!

The Shunfeng Chamber of Commerce continued to do his daily routine, and after Caesar got a batch of sand, he hid in the garden laboratory.

Accompanied by Andalia, the great magician of the seventh order.

For a month, the whole laboratory has been surrounded by heat, and even if you get close, you can feel the heat coming out of the laboratory.

Fortunately, when Caesar built this laboratory, he deliberately asked people to use cement to make it, otherwise if they used mud walls or wood, it would have burned down long ago.

"Are you sure that these white crystals are what you want?"

It took a month, Andalia's face was covered in dust, her hair seemed to be sticky, and both of them were dirty, like beggars in this small laboratory.

But that couldn't stop Caesar's excited expression!

"This is it!"

Caesar picked up the pile of white crystals, it turned out that not all sand can be made into glass!

It is to use this gray sand, the gray sand excavated in the rock formation, because it is not very practical, so the price of these gray sand is low, but this gray sand, which is commonly known in the Io continent, if it is placed on the earth, it is another name!

Quartz sand!

The most original material made of glass!

"And what's next?"

Andalia leaned back in her chair, ate her bread, and asked curiously, "What can this sand make out?"

"Something that you women really like!"

The corners of Caesar's mouth raised slightly, and the flames in his hands flickered, and the flames wrapped in white crystals continued to scorch.

Well?

It doesn't seem to be enough temperature!

"Andalia, come here and help, let's try again!"

Another flame enveloped the white crystal.

Gradually, the white crystals seemed to show signs of melting, and Andalia's eyes suddenly lit up.

This white crystal took the two of them a month to study before they came to it, and it stands to reason that no matter how big the flame is, it will not change much, at most it will only change its form.

But these white crystals, when they are roasted in the second stage, seem to be beginning to melt!

"Keep going, we're a little bigger!"

Seeing that the crystals began to melt, Caesar shouted excitedly.

I have the impression that when the glass was made, it was done after these lumps of things had cooled, and now the crystals began to melt, that is, their plan was almost complete!

The flames of Caesar and Andalia were like flamethrowers, spitting out in the palms of their hands, and Andalia even increased the consumption of mana in order to raise the temperature.

Gradually, the crystals melted and slowly began to merge together, like a liquid, from a granular to a black, magma-like mass.

"This is it!"

Caesar exclaimed, stretched out a hand, rose into flames, and directly grabbed the black 'magma' and rubbed it in his hand.

(Author Odin reminds you that this is a special operation, children don't learn randomly!)

The black 'magma' soon turned into a round ball in Caesar's hands, and at this time, Caesar began to make Andalia fall into flames.

"You go get some rest first, and then I'm going to wait for it to cool down!"

"With ice magic?"

Andalia's right hand floated out circles of ice flowers.

"No!"

Caesar shook his head, looked at the ball intently, and said softly, "I have to see what kind of effect it will have after it is naturally dried and cooled." ”

There is a big difference between natural cooling and rapid cooling, and the composition structure of the black ball may not be perfect, and rashly cooling down may make this experiment fail.

Time passed minute by minute, Caesar looked at the time, almost five hours had passed, and the black ball didn't seem to have changed much, but it could be felt that the temperature of the black ball had cooled.

Caesar picked up the black ball and squeezed it in his hand.

It's a little hard, it's a little warm, but it's not hot, and it's sticky like a layer of cement sand on it.

Did it fail?

Or is there something else that hasn't been added to the glass production process?

Caesar lay on the table, poked the black ball with his fingers, and rolled back and forth on the experimental table, and a bit of black dust fell on the black ball.

"What is this?"

Caesar picked up the black dust that had fallen, rubbed it on his fingers, and looked at the black ball.

With a fingernail on the black ball, a touch of crystal shine was revealed inside the dust.

Resisting the ecstasy in his heart, Caesar pulled over a basin of water, put the black ball in the water, and rubbed his hands quickly, the black dust gradually dispersed, and a crystal clear transparent glass ball appeared in front of Caesar's eyes.

"Success?"

"I really succeeded

!!"

The sound of wild laughter spread in this small laboratory.

......

"Boss, is this thing really made of sand?"

Carlo looked incredulously at the glass ball on the table in a box and asked, "Are you sure this isn't a gem?"

"Of course not!"

Caesar said confidently, "It took Andalia and I a whole month in the laboratory to make this thing!"

"Caesar, you mean, it's called glass, isn't it?"

Medusa picked up the glass ball and played with it in her hand, girls love this kind of shiny thing, regardless of age.

"What's the use of this glass ball?"

Medusa wondered, "I don't feel any magic element in it, it seems to be just a pure sphere, and I can't think of anything else he can do other than be beautiful." ”

"This glass ball wasn't meant to be a magic prop!"

Caesar smiled and explained slowly.

This glass ball is not the key, the key is the technology to make this glass ball, how much temperature is needed, how much needs to be done, Caesar is all recorded in the experiment notes, this is the only glass manufacturer in the entire Io continent.

This is guaranteed by a technical certificate, the manufacturing technology of glass is monopolized in their own hands, and the next step is to consider the form of production, after all, it is impossible for me and Andalia to make glass in the laboratory every day and night!

It seems that next, dear black dragon sister will continue to work hard to breathe fire and burn sand!

As for glass products, that's a lot!

Mirrors, windows, and all kinds of decorative items, as well as the making of various accessories, and so on!

As long as the right craftsman is found, then the glass will soon be able to spread in the Roland Empire, and at that time, Caesar will be able to make a lot of money again!

"Carlo, tomorrow you go and recruit a group of craftsmen for me to come back, I need to be craftsmen who can carve, I want to sell this glass as a diamond!"

Caesar said haughtily.

Whether this thing can be sold as a diamond is still two words, but judging from the color and appearance of this glass ball, it is indeed not inferior to diamonds.

Now that the industry is monopolized in his own hands, Caesar will naturally not mass-produce, and vow to make this glass a high-priced luxury like a diamond!

Diamonds can't be broken, but glass can be broken when touched, and if you want to sell it for a high price, it's not easy?!

Another plan to make a fortune was slowly taking shape in Caesar's mind.

This is Caesar's third invention after hot air balloons, cement and high heels, and Carlo really admires Caesar.

Who would dare to say that the lord is an idiot, you have seen that idiot make money the same as picking up money.
