Chapter 733: Success Nanjiang Hou is in trouble
A crucible of liquid glass can't make many utensils, but there are five yuan stones consumed, plus other raw materials, labor, building kilns and other things, the cost is outrageous.
"Fortunately, the production of glass is for real room use, if it is put on the market, the price is several times higher than that of fine porcelain, and few can afford it!" Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but sigh.
Xian Ning woke up and heard that the problem of glass had been solved, and he was so happy that he couldn't find the north, so he pulled Jiang Xingchen to ask for details. As for the cost, she didn't think about it at all. In her heart, she hurriedly set up a real room, and according to what Jiang Xingchen said, it is more important to cultivate more talents than anything else.
Just like why she needed vitality to fire the molten glass this time, she was extremely curious, because there was no vitality in the molten glass at all.
Unlike Xian Ning's excitement, Jiang Xingchen didn't show too much excitement, and getting the liquid glass was only the first step. The later process is just as complicated, annealing, making all kinds of utensils are technical work, not a day or two can be learned, even if he has a plug-in, the control of the force is subtle, but also needs to be real.
"Otherwise, people say that science is really burning money, how much liquid glass will have to be wasted to train a group of skilled workers!" Jiang Xingchen sighed again.
With the current level of productivity, there is no hope for the production of float glass, which means that the production of flat glass is not possible for the time being. You can only rely on the old methods, blowing, pulling, pressing, and cutting these techniques. But he also has to explore these technologies a little bit.
In addition, the fragility of the glass dù. How much temperature difference it can withstand and how to adjust the proportion of raw materials need to be studied. After all, it is used in the real yàn room. It is necessary to strictly grasp every precise number.
Therefore, there is still a lot of work for him to do, and it is definitely not easier than firing molten glass...... Fortunately, the most critical step has been completed, and he has the plug-in of the formation, and the latter will need a lot of time to practice.
In the following days, Jiang Xingchen began to build a kiln, and at the same time mobilized a group of trustworthy craftsmen to come over.
When those people saw Jiang Xingchen using a metal pipe to blow a ball of liquid glass into a fine vessel, they were all stunned. They all showed a strong interest in this......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the beginning of April, and the star collar is already full of verdant at this time. Showing vigor, the earliest batch of spring tea has been picked, and there are not a few people working in the fields, and a large area of grassland seems to have a green blanket between heaven and earth. In the midst of it were grazing orcs and scattered livestock...... Anyone who comes to Xingchen to lead a tour. Everyone felt refreshed.
Jiang Xingchen has been staying in the research institute these days, devoting himself to the making of various utensils, measuring cylinders, beakers, test tubes, and so on...... The busyness of the day and night made him not even feel the change in the weather.
However, the hard work in exchange for the progress of the process again and again, the glassware needed in the real yàn room has basically met the requirements after he tested it with the formation. Under his training, the craftsmen also gradually mastered the art of glassmaking.
The continuous emergence of new achievements made the research institute from Xianning to the apprentices quite happy. Every day with a smile on his face. The crystal clear glassware is simply regarded as a treasure by them, and they handle it with care. One by one I can't put it down,
Xingchen led the others to hear that Jiang Xingchen's research was successful, and they were also very happy. Especially when they saw a cloud of liquid glass blown into all kinds of exquisite utensils by Jiang Xingchen with a metal pipe, they were so shocked that their jaws almost fell to the ground.
"This is amazing!" exclaimed everyone.
Then the glass continued to cool, and when the completely transparent vessel was formed, everyone's eyes could not be separated from it, including the old man.
If there is anyone else who is unhappy in Xingchen Ling, it must be Grandpa Fu, the Minister of Finance, where is this real yàn, faster than burning money. It had only been a few days, and more than a thousand Yuan Stones had been thrown in. A million, there was a movement on the ground, and it disappeared so silently.
Later, Grandpa Fu found Jiang Xingchen and asked him when he would launch glass to the market.
Jiang Xingchen shook his head with a smile, the time for glassware to be launched on the market was not enough. Not to mention how high the cost of this thing is, the current kiln mouth cannot be mass-produced, and it is now on the market, isn't this competing with porcelain. The left hand beats the right hand, even if it is willful, it can't be like this......
On April 20th, Jiang Xingchen had been staying at the research institute for a month, and the work that needed to be done was finally done.
"Ah~" Jiang Xingchen put down the things in his hand, yawned, straightened up and stretched hard, and muttered: "More than a month, I'm finally done! I can finally rest again!"
"It's been hard enough for a while!" Xian Ning also nodded on the side, although the main force these days was Jiang Xingchen. But she was also tired enough.
However, Xian Ning was a research maniac, and after saying this, he turned his head and went to the real yàn room, leading people to continue fiddling with those brand-new utensils.
Jiang Xingchen shook his head and told him not to be tired, and I don't know if Xian Ning heard it.
Getting up and walking out, Jiang Xingchen laughed, thinking about whether to bring Mei'er back to the old mansion for a few more days to live a shameless life. I don't feel it during work, but when I think back to those days, I feel hot all over my body!
After making up his mind, Jiang Xingchen walked back quickly, even if he hadn't eaten meat before, now that he knew the taste, after another month of busy work, he couldn't wait.
However, as soon as he went out with his front foot, Xian Ning ran out and shouted to him again. The real room equipment is ready, but the students are not yet in place, and there is a plan for a long time, as long as the glass research is successful, a group of children will be brought over to study and cultivate talents for the future. She was in a hurry to go back and do the real yàn just now, but she almost forgot about it.
When Xian Ning said this, Jiang Xingchen also remembered this incident, and the love fire that had just been ignited gradually disappeared. This side of the real yàn room is the top priority, and everything involving this side has to be done quickly.
"Okay! I'll write a letter to Nanjiang Hou, and then go to Nanjiang to pick people in person!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, and sighed secretly in his heart: "It seems that don't think about a happy life in a short time!"
When he went back to the Lord's Mansion, Jiang Xingchen immediately repaired a letter and sent it to Nanjiang Ling, and then beckoned the old man to prepare to leave.
"Little soul light, I owe you anything, where am I your bodyguard, it's just a nanny!" the old man was a little reluctant.
"Don't come to this set, the Buddha jumps over the wall and eats comfortably, right! Hurry up, get down to business!" Jiang Xingchen said with a straight face.
"Every time you fool me with something serious...... the old man muttered again, although his mouth was hard, he still went to prepare. In fact, it's like this every time, knowing that I have to go in the end, I just have to argue two sentences before I am willing.
Jiang Xingchen smiled, set off to find Mei'er, he has been busy for more than a month, and every day the little girl comes to see her, that is, two sentences, let herself pay attention to rest. He wanted to stay with the little girl a little longer before leaving.
Mei'er hasn't been idle these days, her territory is big, everything is complicated, and she has a lot to manage.
Today, the little girl was busy with the work in her hands, and just as she was about to go to the research institute, Jiang Xingchen arrived.
"Brother, why did you come back from the research institute?" the little girl asked.
"It's almost all solved, the craftsman is familiar with it, and Xianning's real utensils are also ready!" Jiang Xingchen said as he looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one, he closed the door and hugged Mei'er and bowed his head to kiss him.
"Stinky brother, stop, don't be here!" Mei'er hurriedly dodged, this is the city hall, it is a place to work, there are so many people.
"Aren't you done with your work, will someone still find you?" Jiang Xingchen tightened his arm, letting the little girl stick closer to him.
"This is not good, who knows what's going on, when you see that I'm not leaving, you'll knock on the door and ask for instructions!" Mei'er puffed out her mouth and patted Jiang Xingchen.
"That's it, forget it, I said I'm going to leave in a while, and I'll be with you for a while......" Jiang Xingchen let go of his arm a little frustrated.
"Huh, where are you going?" asked Mei'er, who was stunned.
"Nanjiang Ling, the real yàn room is ready, there are still a batch of students left, I have to be ready! Now rush to Nanjiang Ling, even if I happen to meet a good one, it is estimated that it will take a month to come back!"
"So anxious?" Mei'er was a little distressed, she watched how tired her brother was this month. She was happy to hear that it was all solved just now, thinking that her brother would finally be able to rest, but who knew that she would soon be led by Nanjiang.
"Hmm!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said: "The sooner the real room gets on the right track, the development of our territory will not stagnate, in fact, now that we have developed to a bottleneck, if we can't study deeply, no matter how big the territory is, that's what it means!"
"I know! It's just ......" Brother is doing business, of course Mei'er won't stop her, she just feels sorry for her brother and is too tired.
"It's okay, the old man has it, and I don't have to bother with it!" Jiang Xingchen saw what Mei'er wanted to express, and explained with a smile.
"That's good!" Mei'er immediately laughed, of course it was okay to have the old man with her.
When the words fell, the little girl hesitated slightly, suddenly hugged Jiang Xingchen's waist forward, stood on tiptoe and bit his lips.
"Another sneak attack!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and immediately launched a counterattack, and the tongues of the two people were entangled.
They don't know that the old man is almost out of breath outside the door at this time, and I have become your family's means of transportation, right?
With a roll of his eyes, the old man smiled, waited for a while, pushed the door open, and said loudly: "Boy, it's a big deal!"
The two people in the room were lingering gently, and their hearts were so frightened by this voice that their hearts jumped out, and the little girl screamed and was tightly tied to Jiang Xingchen's arms.
As soon as Jiang Xingchen turned his head, his cerebral blood vessels were about to burst, and it was this old guy again.
But before he could speak, the old man said quickly: "Boy, don't be angry, it's really urgent, Nanjiang Hou is in trouble!" (to be continued......)
