Chapter 401

In the backyard of Mo mansion.

Merton has a laboratory. No one is allowed to go in on weekdays. Even the best Qin Huaiyu has not gone in.

Usually, when he is free, Merton will be busy in this laboratory for a long time, including the most advanced experimental equipment of this era, and even a simple boiler, a raging fire.

Now in the laboratory, among these equipment, Merton has lost all interest in looking at the past, because once the glass appears, all the utensils here have fallen behind.

This is why Merton has always wanted to develop glass in Mojia village. Once glassware appears, many experiments of later generations can be restored again, and the development of Mojia must have a qualitative leap.

Lao Zhang sat in the boiler and kept putting some quartz and glass materials into the boiler.

Merton was holding a pencil next to him and kept drawing on a piece of rice paper, measuring cups, test tubes, beakers, alcohol lamps, iron racks, long necked bottles and so on. Soon, three-dimensional bottles appeared on the paper.

Merton thought about it and drew all the equipment in the later experiments in his mind. After confirming that there was no omission, he handed the paper to Lao Zhang's head.

"Uncle Zhang, when you go back, make these artifacts as soon as possible and send them to the Mo mansion." Merton ordered.

Lao Zhang looked at the paper, nodded silently, put the paper away and collected it.

"By the way, make more copies and send them to xuandu temple." Merton couldn't help but show a knowing smile. I believe these equipment Taoist waidan sect will be satisfied.

"Good young master!"

Lao zhangtou added some charcoal to the boiler, and the fire in the boiler suddenly flourished again.

All day long, they were busy in the experiment. Only fuber brought them food and water on time.

The next day, the fire finally went out. In front of Merton was more than a dozen pieces of irregular glass. Next to them, the discarded failed products were stacked high.

"Young master, what do you think of these?" old Zhang's head, red eyes and proud face looked at the uneven glass with palm size. Although he didn't know the purpose of these glass, he believed that the young master must be very useful.

Merton yawned, touched the familiar concave convex feeling, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Young master, you'd better have some food and rest!" Fubo pushed the door in and saw the haggard two people distressed.

Merton nodded, grabbed the food from fuber and ate it in a big gulp.

After Merton finished eating in three bites, fuber was busy and ready to pack up and leave.

"Fauber, wait a minute?" Merton had an idea and shouted to fauber.

"Young master, what can I do for you?" Fubo stopped.

"Fauber, do you often have blurred eyes and your eyesight is much worse than one?" Merton asked.

Fuber nodded and said, "it's normal to be old and dazed."

When Merton heard the speech, he moved in his heart, sealed all the concave and convex glass in front of him with a piece of rice paper, dug a round hole in the middle of the rice paper, handed it to Fubo and said, "Fubo, look through the round hole and see if you can see it clearly?"

Although fuber was confused, he still did as he said.

"Eh!" as soon as fuber handed the round hole to his eyes, he was startled by the clear scene.

"How is that possible?" fuber said in shock. He has been used to the hazy sight, and when items clearly appear in front of him, it seems that he has returned to his prime of life.

Merton nodded and said, "this is the most important use of glass."

"Young master, you are wise. This is the blessing of the old people in the world!" Fu Bo and Lao Zhang admired him. They can let the old people see clearly from now on. Such a treasure is much more useful than a wine cup that can only drink.

No wonder the young master broke the wine cup directly. Now Fubo doesn't feel bad at all. In his opinion, only such glasses that benefit people are probably worthy of the concept of Mohism.

"Could it be that this is a birthday gift for the emperor?" asked fuber.

Merton nodded and said, "this is not the birthday gift of the emperor, but the birthday gift of the old people all over the world. In the future, all the glass in Mojia village will produce glasses. From then on, the old people all over the world will no longer have to worry about old eyes and inconvenient movement."

"I know!" Lao Zhang nodded.

Merton has unreservedly taught him the process of producing presbyopic glasses. After he returns to Mojia village in the future, he will be able to produce them on a large scale.

Fuber looked at the lens in his hand and couldn't put it down, but he felt very inconvenient: "isn't it inconvenient to hold the glass like this!"

Fuber was restless. If he could hold a piece of glass in his hand all the time, I'm afraid it would be very inconvenient to work. In addition, the glass was fragile. Once it was damaged, he would be distressed for a long time.

Merton shook his head and said, "of course not. It's just for people to see. You just need to intercept it, which is slightly larger than your eyes, make it into an iron frame and hang it on the bridge of your nose and ears. In this way, it not only reduces the weight, but also does not affect the normal life. It's very convenient."

Fuber was delighted when he heard the speech. Who doesn't want to have clear eyes and convenient action.

Lao Zhang shook his head regretfully and said, "young master, this method is good, but it doesn't work. Once the glass is brittle, it can't be cut at all. When Lao Fu was in Mojia village, he once thought of cutting the glass, but he can't cut it with a knife or other tools. Once he makes too much force, the glass will be crushed."

Merton shook his head and said softly with a smile, "glass is true, but that's because you haven't found a really suitable tool for cutting.

"Cutting tools?" Lao Zhang looked at Merton puzzled. He is the most skilled craftsman in Mojia village. Is there any cutting tool he hasn't used in the world?

Merton laughed and said, "what is this? Even if the diamond is so hard, there is a way to cut, not to mention glass."

"Do you use the method of cutting diamonds?" Lao Zhang's head moved in his heart.

However, the value of diamonds and glass can not be compared. If so, I'm afraid the cost of cutting glass will be high.

Merton smiled mysteriously and took out a long cutting knife from the laboratory. However, the top of the re cutting knife is not a sharp blade, but inlaid with a small diamond.

Merton took a cutting knife and scratched scratches on the unfinished presbyopic mirror lens. With a gentle break with his hand, the glass was easily broken along the scratch. Soon an oval lens had been completed.

Lao Zhang looked up at the sky and sighed. Who would have thought that the hardest diamond in the world could be used to cut glass.

The rest of the work has been well completed. With Lao Zhang's superb technology, oval lenses are built one by one, and then assembled on the already built eye frame.

Soon, two reading glasses were placed in front of Merton.

"One for Fubo, and the rest for the emperor as a birthday gift." Merton waved his big hand.

Fu Bo trembled in his heart and said, "I'm a civilian. How can he use the same thing with the supreme emperor? It's a great treason."

Merton took a pair of old flower glasses and said, "this is the thing of my Mohist school. Is there any reason why you don't have to be dedicated to others?"

Merton's belief has always been to lead the Mojia village to prosperity. In his heart, Fubo's position is the same as his relatives. How can Fubo be wronged.

"Besides, Uncle Zhang will make it continuously. At that time, these are just ordinary things.

When Fu Bo heard the speech, he was relieved to accept it. He touched his tears and said, "I'll put it away first. I'll wear it when the emperor's birthday passes in the future."

Merton saw that he was no longer reluctant, but focused on another reading glasses, took out a sandalwood box and wrapped the reading glasses beautifully.

So far, the emperor's birthday gift is ready.
