The two sisters of the Xia family came to a separate factory. Several workers had already started to light the stove and add coal. A worker sat on a stool and pulled the bellows so that the fire could be more prosperous. Fang Xiaoyu walked into the factory
Nodding to the worker in the lead, "Master Wang, are you ready?" The Master Wang replied with a smile, "Master Wang, you are ready, you are following your instructions." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and walked to
Next to the stove, someone uses long tongs to draw a large crucible
Put it on the coal fire. The blue flame licked the crucible and emitted a burst of heat. Fang Xiaoyu, who was a little sweating, took off his coat and ordered the workers to pour the crushed quartz sand into the crucible first. The scorching flame was very fast
Quartz sand began to melt. Not long after, the quartz sand had turned into a fiery red liquid. Fang Xiaoyu put several auxiliary materials into the crucible in turn according to the production process given by Xiao Feng, and the impurities in the quartz were successively ablated.
Or precipitate, the glass liquid begins to become clear.
Since the factory is fully enclosed and the coal stove is very hot, the factory is starting to feel hot. The Xia sisters have also taken off their heavy coats one after another, and Xia Tingyun even rolled up the sleeves of the dress.
When the quartz sand began to turn into a clear liquid, both of them looked at Fang Xiaoyu in surprise, who was concentrating on command. Looking at Fang Xiaoyu's focused expression, Xia Tingwei's heartstrings were tugged again. She quickly lowered her head to hide her slightly hot
She didn't know about her cheeks. Since everyone was close to the coal stove, everyone's faces were now red and there was no need to hide them.
Seeing that the glass liquid was almost done, Fang Xiaoyu ordered people to take down the crucible with long tongs. The glass was burned at a specific temperature. When the temperature of the crucible dropped slightly, Fang Xiaoyu began to make glass. Xiaofeng gave Fang Xiaoyu
All of them are the more primitive hand-made methods. Even so, there are many ways to make glass, and he plans to try them all. First, he asked a worker to pick up a ball of glass with a pottery tube and put it carefully into the mold.
Turn the side and blow. Another worker used a pottery rod to lift a ball of glass from the liquid glass, and then cut it out with scissors to let it fall into a sunken mold. This mold has
The worker repeated the four grooves four times, filled each groove, covered it with a mold with four raised bumps, and waited for it to cool slowly. Two workers cooperated and used two
Only the pottery tube lifted a large ball of glass liquid to cooperate with each other and slowly stretched it. Since these workers were operating for the first time and were not very skillful in the movements, Fang Xiaoyu was loudly commanding the commander. Especially the two workers cooperated.
After several failures, they finally stretched the glass liquid completely and placed it on a large ceramic plate. Then carefully spread it with a ceramic tube, and spread it as much as possible while the glass has not cooled.
Lay flat on a ceramic board.
The glass slowly cooled, and gradually changed from fiery red to pure and colorless. The glass made by the other two methods was in the mold and could not be seen. Therefore, only the glass spread on the ceramic plate attracted everyone's attention.
When the glass finally cooled to normal temperature, Fang Xiaoyu directed the workers to slowly remove the glass from the ceramic plate. A pure glass plate was presented to everyone. Everyone present looked at the completely transparent glass in amazement, and Xia Tingyun came on naughtyly.
He touched the glass and shouted in surprise, "Sister, this thing is so slippery." Xia Tingwei also looked at the beautiful glass and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
Fang Xiaoyu stepped forward and said, "It's not finished yet, I have to wait a moment." After that, he took out a large diamond ring and carefully scratched the glass with the diamonds on the ring. The glass was quickly divided into two relatively regular rectangles.
Fang Xiaoyu said a few words in a worker's ear. The worker nodded, picked up two pieces of glass and left.
The two sisters of the Xia family watched the beautiful glass disappear at the door in a flash, and then came to their senses. Xia Tingyun asked anxiously: "Da Daigua, what is that thing's called?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I won't answer you."
,You are calling Da Daigua. If I tell you, wouldn't I admit it myself?" Xia Tingyun pouted in anger. Her cute expression and her red face roasted by the fire made Fang Xiaoyu feel
A burst of desire hit him, and he quickly turned his head away to avoid making a fool of himself. When he turned his head away, he happened to see Xia Tingwei. Because the room was too hot, she had taken off her coat and was only wearing a thin dress, which had already begun to develop.
With a beautiful figure and a cute red face, Fang Xiaoyu felt that the heat flow was starting to move downward from his nostrils. He quickly raised his head to prevent the nosebleed from flowing out.
The Xia sisters looked at Fang Xiaoyu who raised his head in surprise, not knowing what he was doing. Seeing Xia Tingyun's expression was about to go wild, Xia Tingwei quickly stepped forward and asked for her, "Young Master Fang, I don't know what this transparent thing is called."
Fang Xiaoyu had stabilized his mood. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't call me Mr. Fang. It's not the first time we meet. Just call me Xiaoyu." He took the first mold used by the worker to blow it and said, "
This thing is called glass, which is my latest invention and is produced on the first day of today." After saying that, he carefully separated the mold and took out the glass bottle. While looking through it, he said, "This wine bottle is pretty good.
The texture is relatively uniform and there are not many bubbles, so it seems to be useful." Xia Tingwei widened her eyes and said, "Are you planning to use such a valuable thing to fill wine?"
"Is it expensive?" In Fang Xiaoyu's impression, glass bottles are the most common wine bottle. This kind of ordinary glass is not expensive, but it is clear when I think about it. The so-called rare things are precious.
In the world of glass, perhaps glass is more valuable than gold, which is why early European colonists could exchange glass balls and African chiefs for gold, diamonds, and even black slaves. Fang Xiaoyu shook the glass bottle awkwardly and said:
"Then let's not use him to fill wine for now. But I still think that the most correct way to fill wine with a glass bottle is."
Putting down the glass bottle, Fang Xiaoyu walked to another long mold. This was the second method of glass making that workers experimented with. Fang Xiaoyu carefully picked up the punch and lay four glass cups side by side in the mold, although it was just
The simplest round glass cup has no patterns on it, but according to Fang Xiaoyu's perspective, the craftsmanship is still good. At least the thickness of the four walls of the glass cup is not much different, so it is quite practical.
At this time, the Xia sisters also came over, carefully picked up a glass cup, looked through it carefully, and couldn't let it go. After looking at it for a while, Xia Tingyun took the glass cup and came to Fang Xiaoyu and said softly: "Little little
Brother Yu." Fang Xiaoyu was shocked when he heard this: "Wow, why is your mood changing so much? I just called Dadou Gua, but after a while I became Brother Xiaoyu. My heart can't bear such a big ups and downs
ah."
Xia Tingwei also came over and gave him a blank look and said, "Okay, stop making trouble." Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I know what you want to say, I'll give you these two glasses." "Oh, thank you brother Xiaoyu.
, I will never call you Dadou again." Xia Tingyun jumped up happily. Fang Xiaoyu quickly grabbed the glass in her hand and said, "Be careful, the glass is similar to the porcelain cup, it is easy to break.
”
At this moment, the worker who had just taken away the glass plate came back, and he was holding two wooden racks in his hand. The worker brought the two wooden racks to Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Young Master, you have done it as you told me.
.” The Xia sisters turned around and found that there was a silver shiny among the two wooden frames. When Fang Xiaoyu put the wooden frame in front of them, the beautiful faces of the sisters immediately reflected in it. It turned out that Fang Xiaoyu asked them to do it
There are two mirrors. At the current level, whether it is electroless silver plating or electrolytic silver plating is not something Fang Xiaoyu can use. For this reason, Fang Xiaoyu simply made the simplest one, stick silver foil directly behind the glass, and then use wood
Although the frame is fixed, although this effect is not as good as silver plating, the bronze mirrors that are widely used today are much better.
So when the faces of the Xia sisters were reflected in the mirror, both of them exclaimed. Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Do you like it? This is what you are going to give to you." "Give it to us?" Xia Tingyun cheered and answered.
After passing a mirror, Xia Tingwei was stunned when she heard Fang Xiaoyu's words. She originally thought it was very good to get a glass cup, but she didn't expect Fang Xiaoyu to give her another glass mirror. This gift is so precious. Xia Tingyun is Fang Xiaoyu about to
It is natural for the engagement fiancée to give her a mirror, but he and Fang Xiaoyu have only met twice, but he gave him the same gift as his sister. Does he want to marry us together?
