Originally, the Mu Xiu of the Mid-Autumn Festival, because of the grand ceremony of the festival, was moved to the next day, that is to say, except for the officials who must be on duty, everyone else does not have to be on duty, Ye Chunqiu got up early to practice the sword, and the shadowless sword has become more and more presentable by now, this shadowless sword has physical skills, and it is difficult to practice, but it has been maintained, but there is a feeling of rebirth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ye Chunqiu felt more and more the preciousness of the Shadowless Sword, and he didn't dare to slack off, after practicing the sword and bathing his body, he suddenly felt relaxed.

Uncle Sun Qi came to the small hall with a smile on his face, and said to Ye Chunqiu with a relaxed expression: "Chunqiu, the crystal workshop has been built, and it is all made according to your drawings, do you want to take a look?" ”

The crystal workshop is naturally a glass workshop, but Ye Chunqiu's face is thick-skinned, and at the moment, this colorless transparent glass is still a new thing after all, so he doesn't mind operating this thing as a high-end luxury.

As soon as he heard that the construction had been completed, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but be interested, and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look." ”

The Ye family already has a stable, raises a few mules and horses, and specially hires coachmen and sedan chair drivers, although Ye Chunqiu does not like to sit in a sedan chair, but the needs of his father and uncle are still there, and his uncle likes to sit in a sedan chair, but after arriving in Beijing, he is extremely cautious and only takes a carriage, but Ye Chunqiu does not like the bumps in the car, nor does he like the soft sedan chair, and would rather ride a horse by himself.

From the inner city to the outer city, and then the outer city arrives near the canal, the location here is really good, by the wharf, and connected to the outer city of the Beijing Division, my uncle has invested this time, so the land purchased covers a lot of land, Ye Chunqiu saw the tall chimney of the crystal workshop from a distance, this chimney is much more majestic than the ordinary chimney, it is built with blue bricks, in order to rush the work, Sun Qi invited many craftsmen to construct at the same time.

Such a chic building is also a scene by the canal.

Wait into the workshop, this workshop has not yet opened, so only a few gatekeepers, see Sun Qi, busy is to come over to greet and serve, Sun Qi led Ye Chunqiu in, Ye Chunqiu came up with his own idea of the crystal workshop, compared with the workshop in reality, such as the gravel that specializes in stacking raw materials, such as the furnace room for production, such as the workshop for pouring molds, Ye Chunqiu went in one by one, the most important thing is this huge furnace, the temperature determines the production of glass, and this high-temperature furnace, if it can reach the predetermined temperature, This means that in the future, it can be used not only in glass, but also in the production of other alloys, and can also be used on a large scale.

If in later generations, machine tools were the mother of industry, then in this era, and even before the advent of electricity and automated production, furnaces were the mother of primary industry.

It's a pity that the furnace has not officially started now, and whether the high-temperature furnace copied by himself according to modern times can achieve the predetermined effect, Ye Chunqiu still does not dare to guarantee, even if it can't be achieved, he has to seek a second predetermined plan and add some combustibles.

Ye Chunqiu inspected every place excitedly, since it is a high-temperature furnace, then the windbag is a must, and the reason why Ye Chunqiu built the workshop by the river is naturally because of the design of the hydraulic windbag, which is the British windbag in the eighteenth century, and the energy source continues to bring strong wind, which is enough to make the furnace quickly produce the maximum heat.

As for the current mold, after the minerals enter the furnace, under the action of the catalyst, it will become liquid, and then it will flow out of a specially designed groove designed by Ye Chunqiu in the furnace, and the other production process is to pour the film, now Ye Chunqiu let Sun Qi prefabricated molds are not much, he now mainly makes transparent glass and crystal mirrors to replace copper mirrors, the former can replace the papier-mâché window, and the latter naturally hopes to become a necessity in the Xiang Pavilion.

This workshop already has some prototypes of a modern factory, although it has not yet started, but it has made Ye Chunqiu find a familiar feeling, he inspected every place, and then said: "Uncle, the craftsmen are all invited, right?" ”

Sun Qi smiled and said: "They are all craftsmen hired at a high price, most of them were blacksmiths in the past, and this blacksmith is barely connected to the manufacture of crystal, uh...... Actually, it's not the same, it's just ......"

Ye Chunqiu can understand very well that glass is a new thing, even if people are invited, in fact, the vast majority of people are essentially new hands, and after the furnace is opened in the future, it is necessary to run in slowly, and now the first step has been taken, just wait for the start of construction.

Ye Chunqiu said: "Let's open the furnace in these two days, try it first, and slowly find a quick way, if there is any problem, call someone to Hanlin at any time to bring me a message......

Sun Qi was a little unconfident in the manufacture of this glass, and couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Spring and Autumn, this ...... Can you really make money? ”

You must know that this workshop has smashed a lot of silver, Sun Qi is a safe businessman, and he can't help but feel pain in his heart when he smashes tens of thousands of taels of silver without blinking his eyes.

Ye Chunqiu was silent for a moment before saying, "There shouldn't be a problem." ”

This kind of thing, how can it be said accurately, things that are ahead of their time, maybe people in this era don't like it, but ...... If you don't try, how do you know the result?

When Ye Chunqiu left, he reluctantly glanced back at the huge chimney, he seemed to see the huge chimney billowing smoke, compared to the so-called birdsong and flower fragrance and quiet beauty in this era, Ye Chunqiu actually found that he was looking forward to the magnificent feeling of countless chimneys standing and countless smoke rising into the sky.

Belch...... It's just a public house, and I seem to be thinking too much.

Ye Chunqiu smiled, rode his horse, and headed towards the inner city.

On the day of the furnace in the crystal workshop, Ye Chunqiu deliberately took leave, watching the furnace fire burn under the blowing of accelerant and air bag, and the various mineral materials purchased turned into liquid in the high-temperature melting furnace, and finally flowed out of the transparent liquid through the trench, and on the other side, the craftsmen poured the liquid into the mold for cooling......

Each process is ready-made, but after all, it is the first time, so the craftsmen seem to be a little busy.

Standing beside the furnace, Ye Chunqiu felt a wave of heat coming, and after a while, he was already drenched in sweat, and the fire of this furnace was rising, which made him finally have some confidence, because now, the biggest difficulty is that there is no problem with this high-temperature furnace, which means that the temperature that this high-temperature furnace can produce is more than 1,300 degrees.

In this era, this is almost epoch-making, because the temperature is enough to melt many alloys.
