"The quality is still not up to par! what is wrong?" Li Kang held a piece of glass in his hand, but it was full of mottled impurities and bubbles, which was far from what Li Kang had expected.

Obviously, the Nth firing of glass failed again, but this time it was finally fired into shape, and the success was a big step forward.

"Isn't it just sand, why is it so difficult?" Li Kang touched the back of his head a little irritably, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't burn glass, he could remember some vague concepts, and it was a blessing, otherwise who would have nothing to do to remember that thing!

Looking at the craftsmen around him who looked at him with a blank face, Li Kang couldn't lose his temper, so he had to hold his breath and said: "You have worked hard, all the people involved in the trial production of glass will be rewarded with ten yuan each, and Zhao Dajiang and Cheng Dajiang will each be fifty yuan." But the glass has not yet reached perfection, so I must make persistent efforts to find out the defects in it and strive to meet my requirements as soon as possible! I will leave my words here now, and whoever can find a way to improve the glass will be rewarded with a reward of 100 yuan! Finally, if the glass can be burned to my satisfaction, all the participants will be rewarded with 50 yuan! The one who contributes the most will be rewarded with another 100!"

"No, we will do our best to live up to our mission!" the craftsmen blushed when they heard this, and hurriedly patted their chests to reassure.

"I hope so!" Li Kang nodded faintly, turned around and left the glass workshop.

After leaving the glass workshop, Li Kang did not go home, nor did he return to the political affairs hall, but turned around and walked into the workshop next door, which was a workshop for trial matchmaking.

Li Kang never expected that this kind of ignition device, which is about to die in the 21st century, this ordinary little wooden stick, actually has higher technical requirements than glass, and glass at least has a clue, and has also made a finished product, although it is not very qualified, but the match is now even more hairy claws, and he has not been able to find a suitable ignition source, Li Kang only knows that phosphorus is easy to catch fire, but how to use it? In the end, it is synthesis, extraction, or miscellaneous chemical reactions, Li Kang can only hehe.

And when he walked into the match workshop, he just came in to have a look as usual, so after a cursory stroll, he asked what was going on, and got a negative answer as usual, Li Kang shook his head and walked out of the match workshop.

"It seems that don't think about it in a short time!" Li Kang sighed, fortunately, he didn't have to do it himself, otherwise he would have to go crazy with flint or fire folds.

"Hey, when will the system unlock the characters after the Industrial Revolution? Won't it all be solved by recruiting Wei Xingxuan?" Li Kang couldn't help complaining, but then laughed at himself, if he really unlocked the characters after the Industrial Revolution, Li Kang would be stupid to summon only one match factory director, Feng Ru who built airplanes, Xie Zhangtai who built airships, Hou Debang, Zhan Tianyou, Xu Shou, Xu Jianyin, Zou Boqi, Li Shanlan, Wang Qingren, Ding Gongchen...... A large number of engineers and scientists are waiting for him to summon them!

"Huh, among so many people, isn't there one who was born before the first industrial revolution?" Li Kang thought of this, his eyes lit up, and at the same time, he quickly asked in his mind: [System, when was the year of the first industrial revolution?]

This question is very important! Because the system only provides Chinese historical celebrities, then the first industrial revolution should also be based on China!

[The twenty-second year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, 1842 AD. 】

Really!

Li Kang was happy in his heart, for China, the first unequal treaty signed after the defeat of the Yi Crow was the beginning of modern times, and the fruits of the first industrial revolution began to pour into China on a large scale after this.

Overjoyed, Li Kang began to try the names of the people he had just thought of, one by one.

Finally...

[Xu Shou (1818-1884), the character Shengyuan, the number Xuecun, a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu, was an enlightener of modern chemistry. Summoning costs 3000 gold or 1500 energy, is it summoned?]

[Zou Boqi (1819-1869), a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, was a physicist. He learned optics and made a camera in 1844, also known as the father of the Chinese camera. He also made telescopes, microscopes, armillary spheres, seven political instruments, etc., and was the first person in modern ink science. Summoning costs 3000 gold or 1500 energy, is it summoned?]

[Li Shanlan (1811-1882)... Mathematicians, astronomers...]

[Wang Qingren (1768-1831)... Medical scientists, anatomists...]

[Ding Gongchen (1800-1875)... Mechanical Engineering Specialist...]

......

Li Kang's saliva was about to flow out, but all of a sudden, he began to hang his head again, because even if he summoned all these big men, he would have nothing to do now, could he be so idle?

"Wang Qingren can be recruited, but I don't lack famous doctors, and they have also started to do Hua Tuo who dissects something!

"Zou Boqi, I remember that he seems to be a geographer, and he is the best at drawing maps and everything... Every time that kid Kaifeng lets him go to sea, he only knows how to shoot cannons, just let Zou Boqi go with him, take care of him, and then finish drawing the nearby sea charts!"

"Ding Gongchen, this guy can still make cannons? I almost missed it just now, there is a shortage of talents! The person in charge of the firearms manufacturing room is you! Then summon Sun Yuanhua to give you a hand!"

"Li Shanlan, there really isn't much work to do now, wait for later!"

"Xu Shou, I remember that his son was a shipbuilder, but unfortunately he was born too late, is he a chemical enlightener? I think it is just right to be Ge Hong's old man's master, every time the province goes to Fuxi Town, he comes to trouble me, and the goods in his stomach are all gone... Ge Hong, ah, by the way, doesn't this guy know how to make glass? I'll have to find someone to ask later!"

Talking to himself, Li Kang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he instantly lost interest in continuing to patrol, and as soon as he turned around, he walked towards the political affairs hall.

Back in the political hall, as soon as Li Kang entered the study, he couldn't wait to summon Zou Boqi and the other four people, spending a total of 10,000 points of gold, although the price was far lower than Li Kang's expectations, he was still a little heartbroken.

Just met, it was a greeting, and after that, Li Kang looked at Wang Qingren and asked, "Xunchen (Wang Qingrenzi), have you read "Hug Puzi"?"

"My subordinates have read it roughly..."Wang Qingren was stunned for a moment, and then said reservedly.

Come on!

For these literati, a cursory reading means reading it many times.

Li Kang then asked, "Is there any knowledge about glass on it?"

"Glass?" Wang Qingren thought for a while, and just wanted to say no, but suddenly remembered something, and said: "Is it a water spirit?" There is such a sentence on the "Hug Puzi Inner Chapter: On Immortals", "Foreign countries make water spirit bowls, and they are really made of five kinds of ash." This water spirit should be referring to glass. ”

"Haha, yes, it's him!" Li Kang laughed, he had read this sentence before, so he knew that Ge Hong was related to glass - there seemed to be ambiguity - but it had been a long time, and he didn't remember how to say it specifically, but now after Wang Qingren reminded him of this, he remembered it again, turned his head to Xu Shou and said: "Mr. Shengyuan, I'll find a disciple with you, I don't know if Mr. is willing to condescend?"

"There is no way to do it!" Xu Shou smiled slightly and said.

Poor Ge Hong, who was doing experiments in Fuxi Town, shook his head violently, and a bad feeling came to his heart.
