Super Chief

Chapter 212: glass

The tribe is now a thriving scene, and Shi Xiong knows that he can't be idle anymore.

   Shi Xiong gathered the four great alchemists, and some work required the hard work of these four alchemists.

   It's been almost two months since these four alchemists came to the tribe. Except for David Adion, who spent a month in the wild last month, the other three were raised white and fat.

   Even Jack Williams, who has been working with Ferguson and has been designing all-metal "machine tools", his face has become extremely ruddy.

   It can be seen that the four of them live very happily here, especially Bill Gates, who has a daughter. Not only does he like it, but his daughter also plays well with the children in the tribe.

The clansmen of the    tribe have also completely accepted the four of them.

   After all, there is no direct grievance between Waxichu and the people. The tribe can even accept the Xiaohe tribe. Why can't they accept these Waxichu? Not to mention that these Vasichus still contribute to the tribe, and the people are usually very polite, so the four of them are really happy to live in the tribe.

   Although the days are a bit boring, compared to when they were contract slaves, this place is truly a paradise.

   "Boss? Do you want to burn the glass?" After hearing the first question raised by Shixiong, Jean Agust was surprised.

   At first, these four alchemists always called Shixiong as "Honorable Guardian", but after Shixiong's repeated requests, they changed their name to "Mr. Guardian." But even this title still made the four people somewhat unsatisfied.

   In the end, they didn't know who started it. They also started to call Stone Bear "BOSS" just like Ferguson.

   Of course, you can understand this BOSS as the boss or the boss. Anyway, these four people like to call Shi Xiong this way, and Shi Xiong also likes this name.

"Yes, I'm going to do some research next, but some experiment equipment is not available, especially some glass experiment equipment, so I plan to burn some glass equipment out. Well, who of you can burn glass?" Shi Xiong again Asked again.

Bill Gates, Jack Williams, and David Adion all shook their heads, but Jean Agust, who asked just now, raised his hand and said, "Boss, I know how to say this glass is burnt, but I The burnt glass always has some other colors, I'm afraid..."

   "What are you afraid of? You can burn glass! The color of the glass ribbon is normal. That's because no decolorizing agent is added when the glass is burned. By the way, let's, how can you burn glass?"

"Decolorizer?" Agust's eyes lit up immediately. He did not answer Shixiong's question, but excitedly asked: "Boss, what is the ratio of decolorizer? What raw materials? Can you tell me something? ?"

   This kind of fanaticism made Shi Xiong helplessly shook his head. The alchemists at this time are a group of people at two extremes. If there is no research involved, they are usually gentle people, but when it comes to research, they will immediately become a group of out-and-out lunatics.

   Ishikuma knows that as far as Agusta's temperament is concerned, if he doesn't tell him about the decolorizer today, he can pester himself for three days and three nights without rest.

So Shixiong waved his hand very simply and said: "Let’s talk about the decolorizing agent. I will tell you the raw materials and the ratio of the decolorizing agent. But you must first answer me how you can burn the glass, and then you burn the glass. What is the level. Because only if I am sure that you can burn glass, I will let you burn glass and tell you about decolorizer. If you can't even burn glass, why should I tell you about decolorizer? ?"

"Okay, Boss, I can tell you with certainty that I can burn glass, and the level of burning is not low. Isn't glass burning just using raw materials such as quartz sand, limestone, feldspar, soda ash, etc., to be burned in a crucible? I used to burn glass when I was in the Old World, because when I was young I used to work in a glass factory in my hometown..."

   Jean Agusta explained how he learned to burn glass and the process of doing the work, and Shixiong understood why this alchemist, who is biased towards medicine, would burn glass.

  Everything is the fault of poverty.

   There is an idiom in China called "Think about change when you are poor", which means that when people are poor and can't live, they should change their way of living. Then there is a great possibility to change the current poverty situation.

   Like Hargreaves who invented the Jenny machine, and Crompton who invented the mule machine, this is actually the case. The family was so poor that they invented this epoch-making machine and changed their life.

   It is estimated that this fellow Jean Agusti is the same. If it weren't for the poor jingle, how could he be a glassworker when he was young? You must know that glaziers can be a very hard job.

   Although this guy later decided to devote himself to the great alchemy industry, his life was not good. After crossing the ocean, he became someone else's contract slave. It might as well be a glassworker at home.

   Now that this guy is chasing himself with him, it can be considered as if he has come.

   Glass was fired a long time ago. Commercial glass appeared in Europe as early as the 12th century, but glass at that time was an absolute luxury.

However, as the method of firing glass and the formulation of raw materials gradually became public, the luxury of glass, which was more expensive than gold at the time, became very common in the eighteenth century~lightnovelpub.net~ It can not be said that it is a bad street. But many ordinary people use glass.

   There are also those bottles containing whiskey or brandy, all of which are glass.

   Even in the early eighteenth century, in order to develop better telescopes, optical glass appeared.

   "Let, besides being able to burn glass, can you do anything else? For example, glass blowing?"

   Agusta nodded firmly, "I know all these things, but I need tools."

   "This is simple, let Jack prepare it for you. What metal tools do you need, just find Jack."

  Jack Williams nodded at AgustaWestland, "Let, as long as the tools are not too difficult, if you tell me the specifications and models, I can basically provide you with them."

  Williams has not only followed Ferguson during this period, but also studied the matter of all-metal machine tools. Although he has not used a blast furnace, he has used crucibles to make steel many times, and he is already familiar with smelting steel. So he can make some gadgets by himself.

   It is convenient to have these alchemists. Originally, Shi Xiong planned to burn glass by himself, but he did not expect that one of the four alchemists could burn glass. This saved himself a big deal.

  After the glass burning matter was set, Shixiong asked again: "Which one of you can burn cement?"

   As soon as the question was asked, the four alchemists were a little confused by the second monk...
