Chapter 1 Opening the furnace
Alan sat on a chair and looked leisurely at Vess, who was spinning around in front of him, "Okay, you just sit down and wait, it's not like you can get it early if you turn around a few more times." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Brother, are you really sure you can succeed?" Vis asked Alan, but the man kept turning.
The two men were here to wait for the first batch of crystal glass to be fired. In fact, Weiss has already taken care of the craftsmen and yards for firing glass for a long time, but the raw materials have always been a big problem.
The raw material that Eren needs is very simple, it is just the sand of the Irons Desert, but it is the sand that is everywhere in the desert that makes Weiss break his heart.
The Irons Desert is located to the east of the Shenlong Empire, and due to the existence of the Haku tribe, the original people of the desert, the Shenlong Empire did not include the Irons Desert in its territory.
In fact, although the Irons Desert on the map is not too far from the Shenlong Empire, due to the existence of the Frost Tooth Ridge, the traffic between the two places is extremely inconvenient, which is probably one of the important reasons why the Shenlong Empire did not care about this desert back then.
But for Weiss, all this is a very negative factor, no one wants to dig sand from the Irons Desert and sell it back, or rather, no one will believe that it can make money. Even if Vis paid a lot of money, the merchants were reluctant to cross the Frosttooth Ridge to dig for sand in the Irons Desert.
In the end, he had to be self-reliant, so after the caravan of the Cook family arrived in Dragon's Blood City, he hurriedly put down the exquisite goods that had been transported from the south, and went to the Irons Desert to buy sand with a bunch of daily necessities, and did not return until two days ago.
"Of course I'm sure, don't turn around. Even if the firing fails, I can help you develop a new trade route, not to mention that the possibility of failure is very small. Alan looked a little proud, originally Weiss was going to let his caravan set off directly to the Irons Desert, but Alan kept an eye on it, and first asked Matthew about the Haku tribe.
Eventually, at Allen's behest, the caravan headed for the Irons Desert with a large number of ordinary household items, and the result was unexpected.
Hearing what Alan said, Weiss finally stopped wandering around and found a place to sit down, "That's true, I didn't expect the Irons Desert to be such a treasure land, but Frosttooth Ridge is too dangerous, and the loss of the caravan this time is not small." ”
"Don't worry, I have a complete plan, and when all this is done, we will be big!, but I am becoming more and more curious about this desert, and I must visit it when I have a chance in the future. Alan played with a bright red ruby in his hand, and his eyes were full of intoxication.
"As soon as you say that, I want to take a look, this time I finally don't have to worry about the supply, you don't know how expensive the various gems are sold over there!"
"It's done, it's done!" a cry of surprise came from the workshop, and Ves, who heard the sound, jumped up from his chair and rushed into the factory.
Alan was not as excited as Vess, and after the caravan returned with sand, Alan had already confirmed that the sand in the Irons Desert was indeed quartz sand of considerable purity.
With this kind of raw material that is the same as cheating, coupled with the already mature firing process of the Holy Spirit Continent, if you can't make the so-called "crystal glass", then you might as well crash to death.
Because the furnace had just been opened, the temperature inside the factory was much higher than outside, and the sweat beads on Weiss's head who ran in first had already appeared, but at this time, he didn't have the time to care about the sweat on his head, but stared at the object in front of him that had been blown into the shape of a cup.
Alan who walked into the factory didn't have any special feelings, since refining the divine seed, all kinds of strange things happened one after another, first the wound found that night healed quickly, and then found that he was not afraid of cold and heat.
There are countless things like what skin is more delicate and hair is shinier, and even Elaine couldn't help but ask Alan about skin care and maintenance once, so that Alan really didn't know how to answer.
Alan walked up to Weiss, looked at the cup that was still a little red, and patted Weiss gently, "What are you anxious about, just wait and see." ”
After speaking, he asked a middle-aged craftsman standing on the side, "What do you think?"
Although Alan had been busy with cultivation before, and rarely went to the field room with Weiss, the craftsmen here still knew this "handsome guy" who was a brother and sister to the big boss.
"My lord, judging from my experience, even if this is not crystal glass, it must be a colorless glass product, and I don't know how much better it is than what we fired before. The craftsman's words were filled with excitement that could not be hidden, and if this firing was really successful, it would be a great honor for a craftsman.
"Hear that, go out and wait, I think you're going to faint here. Seeing that the sweat on Weiss's head was getting more and more, and although he didn't feel much about the temperature here, the smell of the air made Alan a little unhappy.
"Hey, okay. Weiss rushed in just now, but he was indeed a little uncomfortable until now, so he came down the steps given by Allen.
"Hey, by the way, aren't you hot, why don't you sweat at all. ”
"Ha, I'm only afraid of cold, not hot. ”
......
After waiting for a while, the craftsman took out the cup that had cooled down completely. In Allen's opinion, the glass in front of him is nothing at all, but in Weiss's eyes, this crystal glass is simply crystal clear and beautiful.
As the son of the Prince of the Hiss Empire, of course, it will not be the first time that Weiss has seen a crystal glass, but this crystal glass has a completely different meaning, especially after witnessing the ordinary sand into this beautiful crystal glass, in addition to sighing, Weiss also has a anger in his heart.
Although he knew from Allen that the raw material of crystal glass was sand, after all, he still had some doubts and suspicions, but Weiss, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, thought of the countless precious gems and crystals that the alchemists of the Hiss Empire had looted from the royal family, and he was really angry from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at Weiss's changing face, Allen, who already knew the inside story, of course knew the reason, so he waved his hand to let the craftsman leave first, and then said to Weiss:
"Okay, now it's time to think about how to make good things, as for dealing with the group of moths in your house, knowing the technology they rely on to survive, is it difficult to deal with them?"
"Well, you're right. By the way, brother, the mirror you said last time ......" Weiss naturally thought of what Alan said to himself last time in the dormitory.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just ......" Alan rubbed his earlobe, a little embarrassed.
Ever since it was confirmed that there was nitric acid in the acid Delia had taken from Abner, Alan had been confident in using the Silver Mirror reaction to make mirrors, just waiting for the crystal glass to be made.
Until one night, Alan, who was idle, began to recall the process of the silver mirror reaction in detail, and suddenly found that the word "silver ammonia solution" appeared in his head, and then quickly remembered that the silver mirror reaction also needed ammonia, which suddenly made Allen, who was a science idiot, dumbfounded.
