In mid-December, the number of tourists in Xingchen Collar exceeded 30,000 again, and Grandpa Fu couldn't close his mouth with a smile. Now it is less than half a month before the Ice and Snow Festival, and the tourists who come are all tourists from the Qiankun Empire, and the tourists from the Four Kingdoms and the Orc Alliance have not arrived, and the number of tourists can double by the end of December. The number of 60,000 tourists is already approaching the limit of the reception of the star leader.

Not to mention, it is estimated that more than half of the tourists who come will not leave for a short time, because the winter harvest will follow.

The entire Xingchen Collar is like a clockwork machine, and it is busy again, and a large number of supplies are being transported from outside every day. Mei'er was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and it was not easy for Jiang Xingchen to see her.

For tourists, it is completely immersed in fun and enjoyment, delicious food, fun, and a world of ice and snow known as miracles. Although many parts of the empire have been flooded this year, those who can come are those who have not been affected by the disaster.

The wolf sled has five citrine coins, the ice and snow world ticket has ten citrine coins, and there are hundreds of more painters in it, and it costs fifty citrine coins to stand on the edge of the ice lamp and paint a picture, which is not too expensive for these tourists.

The wasteland to the world of ice and snow has been pushed out of the road, and hundreds of small sleds are shuttling back and forth, and laughter and laughter resounding through the wasteland.

"Giggle...... Second brother, these two wolves are much faster than you!" The six princesses on the sleigh let out a laugh like silver bells.

The second prince had a black face, and the muscles on his face twitched wildly, I am a human being, not a wolf. He was confused now. How could the father agree to the little sister's request and let him take her to Xingchen to play.

"Little sister, I'm also the second prince of the empire. Don't be so loud, it will damage the face of the empire if you are heard!" the second prince said to the sixth princess in a low voice.

"Cut! Say you're stupid and don't admit it, you're dissatisfied, who will know our identity!" The sixth princess glanced at the second prince with disdain.

The second prince was speechless, he could only make a bitter face and cry silently in his heart. He was about to be tossed and crazy all the way, and he was not allowed to fight back in a snowball fight, and he couldn't hide fast...... You have to stand aside and look like a snowman. In the end, my legs were stiff and I struggled to walk in the aisles.

The only thing that makes the second prince happy is that the star collar is indeed good. Hot shower, soap he also used for the first time. He had never had such a luxury as wiping his ass with paper.

And the house is comfortable to live in, and the papier-mâché windows let in light very well. Sit on a warm kang and come up with a pot of spirits. A few side dishes, I really enjoyed it.

Not to mention the food, the food here is famous all over the world, and the signature dishes of the major restaurants cannot be eaten anywhere else.

"If you don't have this girl, it's not bad to come to Xingchen Ling!" the second prince thought silently.

"Second brother, let's take a look at the ice and snow world today, go in during the day and come out at night. This will allow you to spend a portion of your money. Got two great views......"

The sixth princess patted the second prince and showed that I was very smart. Come and compliment my expression.

The second prince suddenly had a cow on his face, and roared wildly in his heart: "Little sister, do you want to experience civilian life?" Ten citrine coins are just the price of the price, and you're going to have to freeze outside all day, and you have to spend the night...... Let no one live!"

"Why do you have this expression, don't you agree?" The sixth princess made a small face and patted the second prince.

"Agree, hehe, agree......" The second prince laughed more ugly than crying, dare to disagree, you can come up with a more ruthless move if you don't say a word.

"It's okay to agree, let's watch the ice lanterns today, and go to the amusement park tomorrow! Second brother, you take me to play ice sledding, and then go bungee jumping......"

"Oops~" The second prince's legs were weak, and he almost sat outside the sled. Since the last time he fell off a kite, he was afraid of heights, and let him play ice sledding, bungee jumping, isn't it fatal.

At this time, he really regretted it, he knew this, he might have agreed to pull the sled, why bother to suffer this crime.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you, why are you drooping your face and smiling for me!"

"I'll go!" The green tendons on the second prince's neck burst out, and he had the urge to run away!

Behind the sleigh of the two, the big worshipper who protected them saw this scene, and the old face couldn't help but twitch twice. This is the sixth princess, she is simply a little witch, and there are endless ways to toss people, and the second prince is sad......

The arrival of the second prince and the sixth princess did not attract the attention of others, at least Jiang Xingchen and the marshal did not know.

After playing for two days, the four army commanders Wu Tianfeng, Wei Ning, Chen Xuangan, and Dingbei Hou left first, and they couldn't leave the army for a long time.

Marshals, old marquis, Feng Xuanzhang, Wang Shuangyang, and these people stayed in the house every day, playing mahjong, drinking tea, or pushing cups and changing lamps, and started a real vacation.

Da Futeng was taken by Zhao Danqing to handle the affairs of the tattoo parlor, preparing to take advantage of the many tourists in Xingchen and open as much as possible.

And Jiang Xingchen himself, after accompanying him for two days, finally made time to go to the research institute to study the problem of refractory materials with Xian Ning.

Before the implementation was carried out, the first problem appeared, these materials collected by Jiang Xingchen were not good, and the high temperature of more than 1,400 degrees would melt, and the kiln mouth was also unstable, which was prone to safety incidents.

This is not to mention, if you want to fire liquid glass, the crucible is indispensable, and the crucible that resists high temperature must be made ....... ensure that it cannot react with the molten glass.

Shi yàn was at an impasse, and Jiang Xingchen couldn't think of a way for a while.

"Xingchen, let's do it, I'll continue to look for materials here! You go to the Tianxia Commercial Firm, let them find some purple gold to try, isn't the temperature required for purple gold to be very high!"

"Purple financialization is about 1,400 degrees!" Jiang Xingchen said secretly in his heart, he had a formation to feel the specific temperature. But Xian Ning didn't know, she only had the concept of temperature in her mind, and there was no specific number.

Of course, Jiang Xingchen couldn't explain this situation to Xian Ning, so he nodded and left the research institute.

Jiang Xingchen knew in his heart that the melting point of ordinary metal elements is very high, and pure iron seems to need more than 1,500 degrees. In other words, it is possible that the purple gold is not pure and elemental, so it can melt at about 1,400 degrees.

Although he understood this truth, pure iron did not necessarily work, because he was not sure whether fifteen hundred degrees of molten glass was enough. In the end, you have to find a more fire-resistant metal or material.

Back in Xinzhen, Jiang Xingchen immediately found the old man and asked if there was a metal that needed a higher temperature than Zijin.

The old man was a little surprised, and asked, "Not to mention the small amount of this metal, it has not had much effect, because it can't be smelted to make weapons, what are you going to do?"

"You don't care what you do, hurry up and tell me that I have all those metals, which one is the best to find!" Jiang Xingchen asked quickly.

The old man originally wanted to take a look, but as soon as he saw Jiang Xingchen's strict appearance, he knew that he couldn't joke, and said: "Red tin, ingots, water and gold, ......."

The old man said seven or eight kinds in one breath, and finally said: "These are all unsmeltable, and none of them are easy to find." These are basically natural materials, there are no mines at all, and everything that has these metals is also regarded as a collection, and generally will not be sold!"

Jiang Xingchen didn't say much, and wrote a letter to Qin Manwu asking her to help.

But in just two days, Qin Manwu's reply arrived, and these metal world firms did not have them in their hands, but they had already sent a message to buy them, but I don't know if they could receive them.

When Jiang Xingchen saw the reply, he could only smile helplessly. As early as when he decided to produce glass, he took this problem into account and did a lot of work, sending people to find materials. Unexpectedly, the soda ash was shipped, and the problem of refractories had not been solved, and even the real yàn could not be done......

On the twentieth of December, Jiang Xingchen received a letter from Qin Manwu again, but he still hadn't collected those rare metals.

Jiang Xingchen had no choice but to put this problem down first, there were other things in the territory, he couldn't just stare at this. It's almost the end of December, and he has to make sure that the winter fishing goes smoothly.

But who knew that at this time, there was good news from Xianning's side, and the people who went out brought back a kind of stone, which was more fire-resistant than the previous materials.

Jiang Xingchen immediately went to the research institute again, and what he saw was a white stone, slightly gray. There is also a pile of powder next to this stone, which looks like flour.

"Xingchen, look, this is the stone I am talking about, next to it is crushed powder! I have burned the kiln to a bright red flame, these stones are all right!" Xian Ning said with some excitement.

Without waiting for Jiang Xingchen to speak, Xian Ning continued: "And I thought of a way to build a kiln. We fused quartz sand, soda ash, and feldspar, plus large bluestone powder, calcined into bricks, and used to build a kiln, because the material itself is the raw material for the production of glass, so ......."

When Xian Ning was gushing here, Jiang Xingchen's eyes kept staring at the pile of white powder, as if he hadn't heard Xian Ning's words.

"Xingchen, Xingchen, did you listen to me!" Xian Ning noticed Jiang Xingchen's abnormality and patted him gently.

But even so, Jiang Xingchen still didn't react, but stretched out his hand, pinched up a pinch of powder, twisted it gently, and muttered, "This seems to be a ...... Porcelain clay!"

"Uh!" Xian Ning was stunned for a moment and asked, "Xingchen, what did you say?"

Jiang Xingchen raised his head suddenly, and said with a smile: "Xian Ning, this thing may be porcelain clay, let's make a real one in a while, if it is true, not only is it possible to solve our problem, but this is also a way to make a fortune...... By the way, where did you find this thing?"

Xian Ning looked at the excited Jiang Xingchen in a daze, and pointed to the side: "You ask him!" (to be continued......)
