"So serious?" Luo Youde didn't expect that he would still need to pretend to die and to hide his identity.

"I will take care of you in America. If he is willing to marry Hong Yu, I won't object!" Hong Tao began to raise the bet, even giving up his daughter. However, he asked Hong Yu to marry Luo Meizhou without saying that, and only agreed not to object.

"...When will I die?" Luo Youde failed to resist Hong Tao's temptation. As a father, his biggest weakness is his son's future, and Hong Tao's attack was fatal.

"No, no hurry, I'll let you live a few more days. It's not too late to die when you arrange the matters of the Global Company and the Strait Company... Hahahaha." A burst of traitorous laughter came from the Prime Minister's office. The guards standing outside the door frowned and had goose bumps all over their bodies. They didn't know who Emperor Hong was cheating on this time. Usually, he didn't laugh like this. As long as he smiled like this, someone would be in great trouble.

Since Luo Youde left Jinhe City in a depressed mood, Hong Tao seemed to have suddenly changed someone else, with a smile on his face and he didn't swear at the Prime Minister's Office building all day long. Even his four apprentices have felt much better. Even if they did the experiment wrong, they would not be sarcastic by this fucking master again. As long as they don't violate the safety system and operate illegally, they will generally be encouraged.

After solving a matter that Hong Tao thought was very important, it is necessary to be in a good mood. Once he was in a good mood, his work efficiency would be improved accordingly and he was full of motivation. Now Hong Tao is struggling in Jinhe City with the mood of standing in the last shift. Every time he finishes a job, he secretly encourages himself: You have left a legacy for your son, to be sure to be worthy of his son, come on!

The glass was made out, and there were glass containers in the laboratory for testing, but he was not satisfied. He wanted to seal the windows of his new warship's captain's room with glass, and replace the signal lights and the lights in the cabin with steam lamps covered with glass. The brightness of the steam lamp is comparable to the high-wattage electric lamps in later generations. It is the best choice for lighting and signal communication.

There are some fuels of kerosene, Jinhecheng, and Manila hemp. You only need to mix the linen fabric to make a small net and ignite it with alcohol in advance. Then pressurize the kerosene in the oil pot. The sprayed mist kerosene burns instantly when the hot mesh is burned, and an extremely bright white light can be obtained. The key to this lamp is that on this small net, the manual pressurized oil pot and bicycle pump are the same principle. You can create it by just finding a goldsmith, which is more exquisite and durable than later industrial products.

However, if this net wants to emit bright incandescent light, it must be bubbled with a solution of rare radioactive elements, which is called thorium (tu). It is an associated ore that can be dissolved from monazite with sulfuric acid to form a thorium sulfate solution. When it encounters high temperatures, the esteroid mesh quickly burns into ashes, but it can still maintain the shape of a net. The thorium sulfate inside the mesh becomes thorium dioxide, retained in the ashes of the mesh.

Thorium dioxide has a characteristic, which is that it emits bright white light after encountering high temperatures. The instant combustion of the sprayed kerosene just provides this temperature. Therefore, the high brightness of the steam lamp should be due to the thorium element, and kerosene is just an auxiliary tool. If the net is not burned well and cracked, the brightness of the combustion of kerosene alone is basically no different from that of the horse lantern.

Hong Tao used to go fishing in the wild, but when there was no electricity, the steam lamp had much more advantages than the battery lamp. First of all, it was very bright. A steam lamp could easily illuminate nearly 100 square meters of space, which was comparable to that of the high-voltage halogen lamp used on the construction site. However, the steam lamp did not use electricity, and kerosene only needed a small amount, which was much lighter than carrying a battery and a generator. Moreover, the steam lamp emitted a lot of heat while shining, which could be used to heat up the tent on cold nights. In addition, the steam lamp was not afraid of wind, and as long as a glass lampshade was worn outside, it would be difficult to blow it out strong winds.

Combining these advantages, when there is no condition to use electric lights, the steam light is the best lighting tool in this time and space. Whether it is used for navigation signals, lighthouses, cabin lighting, fishing, or urban road lighting, outdoor operation lighting, and living lighting are very powerful. The only thing to pay attention to is to prevent scalds and ignite fires.

But there is a tricky thing to solve here, otherwise not only can the steam lamps not be made, but even the laboratory glassware that Hong Tao has been looking forward to cannot be made. Ordinary glass is melted at a high temperature of thousands of degrees. It can withstand heat. However, due to the material relationship and the thermal expansion coefficient are different, and the temperature rises too quickly will not dissolve, but will explode. If this problem is not solved well, glass products such as steam lampshades and beakers can only be thought of.

How to solve the problem of heat resistance of glass? There are many ways, but there are only two suitable for current technological level. One is to improve the blowing process. Blow the glass products that need heat resistance to a thinner and more uniform as much as possible to prevent glass bursting in terms of physical properties. The other is to increase the silicon content in the glass raw materials, so that the glass produced in this way can also withstand high temperatures.

The first problem is relatively simple to solve. Just practice. You can slowly summarize a suitable set of blown glass technology. The second problem is a bit troublesome. The main silicon raw material for burning glass is sand. Which type of sand contains a large amount of silicon? Hong Tao has no reagents to test it. He can only select different sand samples from different places, and then try to burn the finished product and then conduct destructive tests.

The workload is a bit too high. Not only does the beaches near Jinhewan need to collect samples, but from the north to the Southern Song Dynasty and south to the coastal countries along the Jawa Island need to collect them, and then mark the detailed origin and send them back to the glass kiln at the mouth of the Milky Way for trial firing.

Hong Tao was quite lucky. After only firing more than 30 samples, he found two sand samples with a relatively high silica sand content. One was near the Brunei Port in Kalimantan and the other was on Jawa Island. Since there were suitable samples, start choosing sand. Use a boat to transport the sand from these two places, and then flotation the silicon sand with heavier specific gravity by using mud flotation. This is the raw material for making heat-resistant glass. There is no need to be so troublesome for ordinary glass.

A new technology was the most exciting when it first emerged. In the first half of 1241, Hong Tao once again became an idol figure in Jinhe City. The people brought their emperor to another new height, and each family placed a transparent glass statue of His Majesty the Emperor to express their gratitude to the emperor.

Since a new factory appeared at the mouth of the Galaxy, the national welfare benefits of the entire empire have risen to a higher level. Because the country has another large factory that makes money every day, the people can get a considerable dividend at the end of the year. From ancient times to the present, the people have never been worried about the amount of money they have. They will only be happy, and then they will naturally remember who made them rich.

"How much does it cost to sell it! A total of ten thousand glass statues, even if they were cast with molds, would be enough for three glass kilns to last for three months! It's a prodigal!" But Hong Tao was not happy. This decision was not his proposal, but was made by the group of people in the parliament, and he couldn't stop it. Not only could he not stop it, he could not be unhappy on the surface, and could only complain at home.

"I think this is a good thing, it is more beautiful than erecting a statue in the square. Everyone supports you, but there is nothing to repay you. If you are not happy to build a large palace for you, it means to put it in a statue. Other emperors can't even put it in, no one is willing to give it to you for free, let alone buy it back with a silver coin." Today, the old man Bofu was particularly happy. His son-in-law was not only the emperor, but also an emperor loved by everyone. It is worth making some hard dishes and drinking a few sips. Not only did the family celebrate, he also invited the old friends of the Huang family, the Wen family, the Bu family, the Wen family, the Ou family, and the Rong family to the house, and set up ten tables of banquets, just like holding a wedding banquet.

"That's right, I'm going to tell you that Brother Chen and Brother Bo have a good vision. Why did Tao Zi let you catch up? If only I were there, I could have a royal family now." Old man Huang Hai was a little drifting after a few glasses of wine. It was just right that he didn't drink it, and he would drink more.

"I told me that Tao Yizi should float to the side of our Wen family's boat. If that happens, the big boat would have been built long ago, and it would have been delayed for several years for you two!" Wen Laoer was not outdone, and began to argue with Huang Hai with a bright red rosacea nose. One of them was responsible for agriculture and the other was responsible for shipbuilding, which happened to be one land and one water. No one looked down on each other.

"Oh, it would be great if Qihong was still alive. My little grandson wouldn't have lost his father early..." Chen Mingen's alcohol tolerance was originally good, but he would easily drink too much if he had something to do. After hearing what everyone said, he remembered his son who died in battle again.

"...I said Brother Chen, you can't be resurrected by death, so it's better not to mention this matter. Our family was born with this fate. If Tao Yizi had not brought us here, Qi Hong's child might not have survived now. Who knows when he rushed to the sea to explain it?" When Boss Wen heard Chen Mingen mentioned Chen Qihong again, he immediately stood up to smooth things over for Hong Tao. This matter has become a tacit understanding in Jinhe City, and no one would say it in front of Hong Tao, because every time he talked about this, Hong Tao, who was originally smiling with everyone, immediately lost his smile.

"Old Wen said it is reasonable, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are heaven. Our family members have never complained about the territorial seamen. If they say so, who would be willing to lead everyone to the sea? This is why Old Man Rong left early, otherwise you would have been hit by your head now. Don't think that no one dares to touch you, and if you are the emperor's father, we will carry you and throw you into the river to wake up." Old Man Bofu was not very happy either. Today was his gathering place. It was a happy thing, so how could he say this? Even Hong Tao's godfather would not do it.
