SFS 0497: The Birth Of Glass.
0497: The Birth Of Glass.
The sun is rising in the east, inside the castle of Hailan City.
Qiao Ji and the others got into the carriage and headed to the Ori area just after breakfast, planning to see the newly researched products of the dwarf couple.
Ruoqing had already arrived in Beigang before winter came, and was directly arranged to live with the dwarf couple in Ori district.
"Tat Tat Tat..."
More than half an hour later, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of a concrete building.
Qiao Ji got off the carriage under the guard of the Dragon Shadow Knight Battalion, and walked towards the courtyard.
The cement buildings in Ori District all have their own yards, and the cement buildings are much more spacious than buildings in other districts.
Jerry saw Qiao Ji in the yard, and immediately bowed to salute, "Master Marquis, good morning."
"Good morning." Qiao Ji nodded slightly.
He saw Jerry busy knocking rocks in the yard and asked, "Have you started working so early?"
"Yes, Lord Marquis, I have nothing to do anyway, just help my wife and daughter get some raw materials." Jerry showed a naive smile.
"Let me see where the glass is." Qiao Ji said with one hand behind her back.
That's right, he came to see glass today, because by chance, he discovered a material that can be used to make glass.
It is a kind of ore called quarry stone. After high-temperature calcination, crystals similar to glass can be obtained.
He spent a few days sorting out a document and gave it to the dwarf couple and Ruoqing to study.
If glass can really be made, then his greenhouse plan may be implemented, and glass can be installed in every household.
There are so many benefits that glass can bring, in addition to beautiful buildings, it can also adjust indoor light and so on.
"The sample is inside, Lord Marquis, come with me." Jerry walked in front excitedly.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Qiao Ji followed Jerry into the first floor, and saw all kinds of materials.
In addition to a series of materials related to monsters such as monster skins, teeth, horns, etc., there are also some ores, plants and the like.
There are no tables and chairs on the first floor, only some shelves, and those materials are placed on the wooden shelves in the living room.
Stanley was arranging the monster skins in front of a wooden frame, when he turned his head and saw Qiao Ji, he bowed and said, "I'm really sorry, Lord Marquis, the first floor is really messy."
Ruoqing just happened to come down from the second floor, leaned on the stairs and looked at Qiao Ji, showing her cute canine teeth and said with a smile, "Master, good morning.
The second floor is where the dwarves' family of three lived, and the first floor and the yard were used by them as a place for experiments.
"Morning." Qiao Ji smiled lightly.
He saw that the hair of the dwarf girl was messy, apparently she had just woken up and hadn't tidied it up.
Ruoqing seemed to realize something, and hastily reached out to grab Ji Feigou Tiao's hair, and said shyly, "It was too late to do research last night, so I got up late today."
"Go wash up first." Qiao Ji waved her hand gently.
His eyes fell on the living room on the first floor, and he asked, "Where did you put the finished glass?"
"Lord Marquis, wait a moment." Stanley walked into a room immediately after speaking, and took out a palm-sized piece of glass from it.
She handed it over excitedly and said, "Master Marquis, take a look and see if it's the one you want.
Since the dwarf couple received the information from Qiao Ji, they have devoted all their attention to the new research.
Qiao Ji saw the piece of glass in Stanley's hand, and a gleam of light flashed under his deep heterochromatic pupils.
He took the glass piece in anticipation and began to study it. After a while, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, it's the one I want."
The glass made by the dwarf couple is similar to that of the earth in terms of appearance, transparency, and texture.
"Great, I finally didn't fail." Stanley heaved a sigh of relief.
She and her husband studied for several days and nights, and conducted several experiments, among which Ruoqing has been helping (abae).
It took more than ten days to make it, and Stanley was not sure whether it was successful, but only knew that the finished product was the same as the drawing.
Only then did they send someone to the castle to invite Qiao Ji to look at it, as long as they succeed, it means that they have produced a new thing.
It's a very rewarding affair for a dwarf couple, and who doesn't like being honored?
"What is the time and cost to make such a piece of glass?" Qiao Ji asked.
If making glass requires a lot of raw materials and time, he doesn't plan to promote it in large quantities, just make a small batch for his own use.
"Leaving aside the time and cost of previous failed experiments, let's just consider this piece of finished glass."
Stanley pressed his eyes slightly and thought for a while before he said, "It only takes one hour to make such a large piece of glass, and not many materials are used."
Caisi stone is a very common gravel in Beigang, and you can see a pile of it everywhere. As for whether it is unique to Beigang, I don’t know if it has not been investigated in other places.
Of course, this kind of stone is useless to people of this era, its appearance is similar to ordinary stone, and its color is closer to gray.
"What if I want to make a lot of it?" Qiao Ji turned his head and looked at the black cat girl beside him.
Lei Nai understood instantly, pulled the bag by his side to the front, opened it, took out a stack of blueprints and handed it over.
Qiao Ji took the drawing that Lei Nai handed over, handed it to Jerry and asked, "Look at this drawing, how long will it take to make it according to the above specifications and dimensions?"
Qiao Ji drew a design overnight after hearing the dwarf couple say they had made glass yesterday.
It is a picture of the greenhouse that he has conceived in his mind long ago, down to the length, width and height of the glass in detail.
The Stanley couple took the blueprint and looked at it seriously. The more they looked at it, the wider their eyes widened.
Five minutes later.
Stanley calmed down his excitement, and said slowly, "Master Marquis, it should take more than three months to produce the glass used for the pattern drawn on the blueprint."
This is her conservative estimate. Although the glass has been successfully developed, no one knows what problems will be encountered in the future.
"You should integrate the process of making glass, as well as the problems encountered and solutions, and make it as simple and clear as possible." Qiao Xing instructed.
He planned to set up a glass workshop, and then let the people from the Mountain Transporter Chamber of Commerce arrange for people to collect a large number of quarry stones.
"Yes." Stanley nodded.
She was also immersed in the shock of the drawing by Qiao Ji, the arched building is very beautiful, especially made of glass.
"You guys have a good rest these few days, and take Ruoqing out to play." Qiao Ji said softly.
He knew that the dwarves' family had worked hard recently, and all three of them had obvious dark circles under their eyes.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." The dwarf couple hurriedly bowed their thanks.
