”Your highness, this is a tube for blowing glass. "
when the material was heating, Chen Qi gave him a ceramic tube.
After the liquid glass is formed, if you want the glass to form any shape, you need to blow it at this time.
In fact, this is the focus of glass production, because the temperature of glass solution is too high, and Xiao Ming has no heat-resistant alloy tube, so he can only use clay to make a ceramic tube. After all, it is impossible for him to produce a seamless steel now.
On both sides of the regenerator, the craftsmen take turns to pull the blower to blow the heat of the coal in the regenerator into the furnace. After waiting for an hour, Xiao Ming asks the craftsmen to open the lid of the furnace.
Suddenly, a heat gushed out of the furnace. The craftsman was so scared that he kept away from the furnace. After calming down, he slowly came to the front of the furnace, where the red liquid was churning.
Then he said, "Your Highness, the things in this are melting."
Xiao Ming then stepped forward. Sure enough, it was a liquid similar to magma. This was liquid glass.
"Give me the blowpipe." Xiao Ming said to Chen Qi.
Xiao Ming can impart knowledge to the public, but the actual operation must go through practice, no one can become a glass master.
Chen Qi's blowpipe is about 1.5 meters long, which is the standard length of modern industry.
After taking the blow pipe, Xiao Ming picked out a mass of liquid glass from the furnace and quickly rolled one end of the liquid glass on the rolling plate to make the liquid glass evenly distributed.
At the same time, Xiao Ming took a breath and quickly blocked the pipe with his hand. A bubble appeared in the liquid glass.
Next, he repeatedly softened the glass in the furnace, wrapped the liquid glass, and finally sent the liquid glass into the mold.
While blowing, while rolling, liquid glass quickly filled the mold.
After cooling, a not so good round bottom glass bottle appeared. Xiao Ming sighed. He was also a soldier on paper, and his craft was not good.
When he looked up in shame, he only saw a room full of people's eyes focused on the glass bottle. His eyes were incredible.
Chen Qi murmured: "God, why is this bottle so beautiful. "
other craftsmen were also amazed, and they looked different at Xiao Ming. The king of Qi could not do it.
”See, this is glass blowing. Of course, glass blowing is extensive and profound. Now you should practice the method I taught you to produce all kinds of glassware. Come on. "Xiao Ming said cheekily.
There were fifty craftsmen in the courtyard of the equipment department, all of whom were selected from slaves. Xiao Ming taught each of them a kind of blowing vessel. When
heard Xiao Ming's words, Chen Qi first picked up the blowpipe and walked towards the furnace, and the rest of the builders followed him, because to them, the glass was much more powerful than soap, perfume and alcohol.
Xiao Ming is not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he instructs the craftsmen in the equipment department to blow the glass. All day long, the molten glass in the furnace is gone and a lot of failed glass products are exchanged.
Of course, this kind of failure is relatively modern. In fact, these glass products can be used and sold for money. He is ready to sell them to businessmen.
It's normal to fail at the first time. Xiao Ming doesn't expect the craftsman to master the glass blowing technique at one time. He can master it slowly. The most important thing is that the glass industry has already begun. He can do a lot of things and earn a lot of money by using glass.
After a busy day, Xiao Ming took his handicrafts back to the palace.
Aster and lvluo are coming back from outside. When they see the bottle in Xiao Ming's hand, lvluo screams, "Your Highness, what's this? It's beautiful."
Aster also came over, eyes full of small stars, girls have no resistance to beautiful things.
"It's called glass." Xiao Ming laughs that his failed works are very popular.
"Glass, such a beautiful thing must cost thousands of taels of silver. "Since he was in charge of the consumption of food and drink in the palace, aster has always been very sensitive to spending money.
”Tens of thousands of taels is about the same. I've never seen such a thing before. Is it made of jade? "The green Luo doubts a way.
Xiao Ming was very satisfied with the reaction of lvluo and aster. The colonists in the 17th century bought a lot of land from the Indians with a few glass balls, which shows the value of glass in the hearts of people who had never seen it at that time.
”No, this glass is not bought by Wang, nor is it made of jade, but produced by the equipment department. "Xiao Ming solved the mystery, and then looked at the green pineapple and aster with satisfaction.
”Made by the equipment department? "Lvluo's eyes are rolling," Your Highness, can you give me this glass? I don't want to eat ground pot chicken. "
" hehe, you can come here tonight, and I'll give you a physical examination. Have you grown tall again? "Xiao Ming said with a bad smile.
Lvluo and aster suddenly blush, angry with Xiao Ming, and then enter the palace.
Xiao Ming followed him with a playful face. He had to find some fun in his boring life.
After dinner in the evening and playing with aster, Xiao Ming returns to his bedroom and begins to figure out how to maximize the benefits of glass.First of all, perfume, Qingzhou bottles can be changed, naturally, with the upgrading of packaging, a group of high-end perfume, wine will also be born.
However, the things in the bottle will not change basically. What's added is only packaging money. He believes that there will be top dignitaries willing to buy them.
Today, although the glass industry has just begun, the experience Xiao Ming has brought is enough to make the industry avoid exploring in the dark, and move forward rapidly on the bright road.
As Xiao Ming expected, the craftsmen who have been practicing can basically produce qualified glassware in only ten days.
Although not perfect, but also basically meet his requirements.
During this period, many businessmen inquired about what he was doing in Qingzhou City. The Wang family, the Qin family, the sun family and the Wei family were especially attentive.
For this reason, the four families specially asked Wang Shijie and Qin Mu, who were in charge of business outside, to come back.
"Your Highness, don't hide and tuck in, it makes us anxious to death." Wang Shijie has been around Xiao Ming these two days.
Qin Mu also stood on one side. Although he was not against Wang Shijie, they were united in this matter.
"What's the hurry? Tomorrow, I will show you this mysterious object in Dongshi. You can see it then." Xiao Ming said.
"Can't your highness let us have a look first?" Wang Shijie does not give up.
Today's Wang Shijie no longer dare to be brothers with Xiao Ming, because the king of Qi is no longer the one who used to be able to send only a few banknotes.
However, he was a vassal in charge of the life and death of the six states, and this change took place slowly and imperceptibly.
If the Wangs used to despise the king of Qi, they are afraid now.
