Chapter 693: A New Door, Simple Experiment
Xianning was even more excited than Jiang Xingchen, she had been looking forward to the glass for a long time, and after a large amount of soda ash arrived, she couldn't wait to call Jiang Xingchen and wanted to burn the glass immediately.
Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to burn the glass, let's go and sit in your room, I have something to say to you!"
"Ahh......h
Although full of doubts, Xian Ning didn't think much about it, and followed Jiang Xingchen back to his room.
Seeing Jiang Xingchen sitting directly on the edge of the bed, Xian Ning couldn't help puffing out her cheeks, and said secretly: "You're really welcome, I don't know and think this is your room." ”
"Xingchen, what do you have to tell me, you have to come to the room!" Xian Ning sat down opposite Jiang Xingchen and asked softly.
Jiang Xingchen didn't return immediately, but thought for a moment, organized the wording, and then spoke: "Xianning, do you understand the world you live in?"
"What?" Xian Ning didn't understand Jiang Xingchen's words for a while, and looked at him with some astonishment.
"Do you know why there is spring, summer, autumn and winter, why there is sunrise and moon setting, why there are stars in the sky?" Jiang Xingchen asked again.
Xian Ning understood this time, but she was even more surprised, she didn't know why Jiang Xingchen asked like this, aren't these all inherent in heaven and earth.
"Do you know why we need to breathe, why water flows to the bottom, why there are wind, rain, thunder and lightning...... Why is it cold in winter and hot in summer, and what exactly is the vitality......"
As Jiang Xingchen kept asking questions, Xian Ning's expression gradually changed from surprise to solemnity. These problems are all common in nature. People have also formed habits, and no one has studied them at all. But now, Jiang Xingchen's question made Xian Ning suddenly realize. There are also causes for these phenomena.
Jiang Xingchen's questions did not stop: "Do you know how many kinds of substances there are in this world, what properties each substance has, what reactions between substances and substances, and what new things will be produced......
Xian Ning was completely silent at this time, her mind moved with Jiang Xingchen's question, and she was surprised to find that she couldn't answer any of these questions. Unexplainable......
I don't know when, Jiang Xingchen has stopped, but Xian Ning still has his head down. Those questions keep replaying in my head. It was as if she had seen a new door, and the previous research was only the appearance, and what was inside this door was the essence. Open this door, you can be regarded as truly understanding this world....... no? Or maybe this door is just one of the ways to study. There are deeper layers to follow.
The more I thought about Xian Ning, the more excited I became, and my sleeves were trembling slightly.
"Xian Ning, our future task is to study these things and use the research results in people's production and life!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"But I don't know what to do, where to start, where to start!" Xian Ning raised her head.
Jiang Xingchen thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Xian Ning, why do you say charcoal." Firewood, lamp oil. And the candles will burn?"
"This ...... Why is this, because they can burn by themselves!" Xian Ning looked at Jiang Xingchen strangely, is there still a problem with burning.
Jiang Xingchen smiled, looked around the room, found a candle, cut off a small piece of it, and lit it.
Xian Ning didn't know what Jiang Xingchen wanted to do, and stared at his movements intently.
Jiang Xingchen found another water bowl, buckled it upside down on the candle, and after stopping for more than ten seconds, he took the bowl away.
"The candle is out!" Xian Ning said in surprise, obviously not expecting such a result.
"Actually, this is not new, after we make a fire in the wild, we use soil to cover the fire, so that the fire will be extinguished, and this is the same principle!
Xian Ning stared at the extinguished candle, his eyes frozen, obviously thinking about something. Jiang Xingchen didn't speak either, and didn't bother her.
After a long time, Xian Ning suddenly laughed and said excitedly: "I understand, combustion is not a matter of materials, but also air...... There's something in the air that has to be burned!"
Jiang Xingchen nodded with a smile and said, "That's for sure, the charcoal we commonly use must be isolated from the air when it is fired, otherwise it will be all burned clean!"
Xian Ning exhaled and said, "It's true, I've never paid attention to these things before...... Xingchen, I see, you mean to start with the real yàn!"
Jiang Xingchen said: "That's what I mean, but what to do, how to do it, to be honest, I don't know much...... I've written something here!"
Jiang Xingchen casually took out a stack of blank paper, on which were some of the more basic things he had written.
"These things are very theoretical, and the help of the real yàn needs you to explore, and it is not necessarily correct. The main thing is that these things need you to perfect...... The all-encompassing questions I asked just now are exhaustive, and the two of us will not be able to finish studying them in our lifetimes, so we must train more talents. After a while, I will go to Nanjiang and try to bring back another batch of children for you!"
Jiang Xingchen is really not sure about these things written, the vitality of this world plays a great role, at least in terms of biology and organic chemistry, it is very different from the earth, otherwise there will be no demon beasts, and the growth of plants is also related to the vitality.
Hearing Jiang Xingchen's words, Xian Ning suddenly felt a little sad, his expression was also depressed, and he said in a low voice: "Xingchen, I'm afraid I won't be able to study these things for long, my injuries are ......."
Jiang Xingchen was still a little frightened when he saw the changes in Xian Ning, but when he heard her say this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Isn't your injury not worsening now...... You don't have to worry, the better your mentality, the better your injury, and I will definitely find a way to heal your injury completely......"
Saying that, Jiang Xingchen walked up to Xian Ning, pressed his hands on her shoulders, and said, "You are my research director, I won't let you have an accident!"
Being pressed by Jiang Xingchen like this, Xian Ning's heart beat faster, coupled with the emotion in his heart, his face was hot for a while.
However, Jiang Xingchen just comforted her, immediately withdrew his hands, and said, "You don't have to think about anything, just continue your favorite research!"
Jiang Xingchen's hand moved away, and Xian Ning's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. But then thinking of those questions just now, her mood became excited again, this is her life's pursuit.
"Xingchen, I must study what you gave me!, but let's get the glass out first, aren't you saying that it is essential to build glass in the room?"
"It's okay, but building a kiln right away is a waste of manpower, material and financial resources!" Jiang Xingchen replied.
The firing of glass was not as easy as he imagined, and the temperature required for firing liquid glass was quite high, and his memory was about 1,400 degrees or more. This is still on the earth, and it is even more uncertain what changes will occur here, after all, this is the other world, there is vitality here, and he always has a feeling that the future development will definitely be inseparable from the vitality, and the more complex the change, the more so.
For the time being, it is uncertain whether the kiln mouth can withstand such a high temperature, so it is necessary to find refractory materials first, and then to find refractory materials. Firing glass is not calcined lime, how to preserve the liquid glass, how to anneal are all problems, there is no refractory material to make a crucible is not at all, and he does not know other methods.
In addition, even if the liquid glass is fired, there is no way to make flat glass for the time being, so only blown glassware can be made. The metal pipe may need to be made of materials that can withstand high temperatures, and these need to be prepared. In fact, during this period of time, he has collected a lot of materials, stones, minerals, metals, etc., and originally wanted to do a real test in the past few days, but a group of old guys who came on vacation could only postpone it.
Of course, some simple tests can be done by immortal condensation, but the high-temperature test will come by himself, the current kiln mouth can generally withstand 1,500 degrees, and if it is not high, it will be dangerous if it is not done, and only his formation can control it.
Then Jiang Xingchen told Sù Xianning to test the materials he found first, and eliminate those that are not resistant to high temperatures.
Xian Ning nodded and couldn't wait to run to the test, and Jiang Xingchen turned around and left. The purpose of his coming here today is to see the quantity and quality of soda ash, and secondly, to explain deeper things to Xian Ning and lead her to the avenue of scientific research.
Not long after returning to Xingchen Ling, the marshal, the old marquis, and the Dingbei marquis also came back, and they praised Jiang Xingchen fiercely.
"Boy, I didn't say it, the ice and snow world is so beautiful, no wonder everyone is rumored to be a miracle!" the marshal picked his thumb first.
"Fortunately, I came this time, otherwise I will definitely regret it in the future, such a beautiful ice and snow city, I have to have a good time when I go back," Wu Tianfeng laughed.
"Although the Ice and Snow City is beautiful, but you kid is really dark enough, the ticket actually costs ten citrine coins, it's just a money grab......" The old marquis also laughed.
"Old Marquis, I remember to give you free tickets!" Jiang Xingchen said helplessly.
"It's free, I'll just say the fare, and I didn't say anything else about you!" the old marquis pouted.
Luo Yu came up, put his arm around Jiang Xingchen's shoulder, and said, "Brother, can you build another one in the Ice and Snow City, ...... on our prairie"
"Get out!" Before Luo Yu finished speaking, he was kicked twice in the buttocks, one was Jiang Xingchen and the other was the old man.
Da Futeng said at this time: "I really haven't seen a more beautiful scenery than this, this time I can be regarded as catching up, in our southern wilderness, don't want to see it in my life." ”
Under the praise of everyone, Jiang Xingchen was fluttering and extremely proud. But the final result was that he was so badly praised that he refused the marshal's request, and had to run into the kitchen again with a bitter face and cook a big meal with his own hands.
The next day, a group of people rushed to the city of ice and snow, and the beauty of the night was seen, and it is said that the day was a different picture, no less than the night.
On this day, the second group of tourists arrived one after another, and the number of tourists in Xingchen Ling surged significantly, and among the people who came, there were the second prince and the sixth princess! (To be continued......
