Chapter 121: Do You Have Hydrogen Monoxide?
As the director of a glass factory, he was a little wary when he saw Gro and Richard appear, lest Richard coax Prince Gro to succeed and come to steal the glass process. But later Richard's series of performances made him realize that this was not the case at all. Not only not, but on the contrary, based on Richard's familiar performance of everything, Richard may have mastered a higher level of glass-making technology. The production of what cobalt blue glass illustrates this.
So when Richard first explained the production of colored cobalt blue glass, Veckey tried to experiment in advance to check the effect of cobalt blue glass. It turned out that cobalt blue glass was indeed very beautiful, but because of the cold tone, it was of little use, except for the decorative windows of the church, the rest of the nobles basically did not like this kind of glass. The aristocracy preferred larger, more transparent glass.
So, Viche didn't think much about it, and obediently made the cobalt blue glass, ready to hand it over to Richard. Who knows, Richard seems to be dissatisfied, and puts forward a new request and gives a new kind of material.
Out of curiosity, Vickys still experimented in advance, this experiment was terrible, Vickys found that the powder given by Richard was put into the glass according to the concentration required by Richard, and the original green glass suddenly became clear and transparent, like the purest snow condensation.
Vickys was shocked, and then called the most famous master craftsman in the factory and asked what the off-white powder Richard had given was. As long as you figure out what the powder Richard gave is, and add it to all the glass in the future, then the glass manufacturing process of the entire Emerald Kingdom will go up a big level.
But after carefully studying the off-white powder for half a day, the master craftsman said very frankly that he did not know it, and that it might be something that did not exist in the world at all.
Vecis didn't believe the master craftsman's answer at all, if there was no world, how could Richard have it in his hands?
The question then arises, how can he get from Richard the method of making the off-white powder? If so, then he is developed.
Vecz, pondering the question excitedly, asked for the glass to be made as Richard had requested.
As he walked towards Richard with the glass he had made for the second time, Veitch continued to think about a solution to the problem, but he didn't come up with it, and there was no feasible solution in his heart except for excitement.
Li ...... Your Excellency Richard, you ...... Your glass. With a shake of his hand, Vecis handed the cobalt glass to Richard and swallowed.
Richard glanced at the factory manager Vicky with a strange look, took the cobalt blue glass casually, and set his eyes on the glass. After a careful review, he nodded with satisfaction. After adding manganese powder, the cobalt blue glass was really qualified.
And rightfully so.
After all, adding manganese powder is already an advanced technology on the modern earth, and manganese alone will not be separated until the eighteenth century on the modern earth. If it weren't for the fact that I had a stock when I was in the Blue Lion Kingdom before, I could quickly take out some of it and use it, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort.
Vecis didn't know what was going on in Richard's heart, but his eyes flashed, and he continued to think about ways to obtain new craftsmanship from Richard, and said tentatively: "Your Excellency Richard, that ......"
Who knew that Richard didn't cooperate at all, and said loudly: "I'm sorry for you, Director Veites." ”
"Uh, no trouble, no trouble, just ......," Veice said.
"Then there's a chance to see you again. Richard looked like he didn't want to waste time, glanced at Vickys, put away the cobalt blue glass, turned around and walked outside the glass factory, and at the same time did not forget to call out to Gro, who was about to fall asleep in the chair next to him, "Gro, go." ”
"Hmm, gone, is it over? Gro got up from his chair next to him in a daze and followed Richard out.
As soon as he saw that there was no chance on Richard's side, he immediately stepped forward, gently pulled Gro's sleeve, and whispered: "His Royal Highness Prince Gro, His Royal Highness Prince Gro ......"
"Well, what's the matter?" Groh yawned, tears streaming uncontrollably as he looked at Veitchs with a furrowed brow.
"Uh, that...... That is true...... His Excellency Richard ...... No, Master Richard seems to have a craft that makes glass incredibly transparent, which is important to our glassworks in the Emerald Kingdom. Veice rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassed, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you seem to have a good relationship with Master Richard, do you think you can find a way to let Master Richard teach us the craft, in this case, our glassworks in the Emerald Kingdom will definitely ......."
Rubbing his eyes and wiping away his tears, Gro came to his senses, glanced at Veis a little strangely, and the next moment he unceremoniously interrupted the other party's words, and asked directly: "What does this have to do with me?"
"Well, this, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you see, that craftsmanship is really important to the glass of the Emerald Kingdom......"
"But what's in it for me? I'm just a prince, not a king, and the territory hasn't been decided yet, so you should go to my eldest brother about this, right?"
"Well, this seems to be ......," Vicky said.
"Let me tell you, Your Excellency Richard is concerned about fair trade, and if you want anything from him, you have to give him what he needs in exchange. "Do you know why I'm busy with His Excellency Richard all day, because it's his request?" In this way, I can let His Excellency Richard quickly make that cobalt blue glass, and as a bonus, I can keep a magic potion in my hand, dihydrogen monoxide.
Well, you don't have to answer, you don't know by the way you look, you just need to understand that it's a very magical elixir that works for me. I did His Excellency Richard a favor to get the dose that was used three times. If I ask for some process, then Your Excellency Richard halves the dosage for me, what should I do?
"Uh, this ......" Veice's face was a little sweaty, and he wiped it lightly, and his palms were full of water. He didn't have dihydrogen monoxide, just sweat all over his face.
"So, what kind of process, find a way to solve it yourself. Gro said angrily to Vickys, shook his arm and shook off his tugged sleeve, turned and strode out of the glass-making factory, quickly catching up with Richard.
Veitch, who was in the glassworks, wiped his sweat again and let out a long sigh of helplessness.
......
Outside the glass factory, Gro and Richard were side by side, and Gro couldn't help but say loudly: "Your Excellency Richard, you should be done with your affairs, you see...... Can I go back to the palace and experiment with the dihydrogen monoxide magic potion you gave?" After all, you also said that this potion is only valid for three days, and if it does, wouldn't it be ......?"
Richard was well aware of Gro's mood at this time, nodded and said, "Of course you can." ”
Gro was about to prepare for a quick return with his guards.
Richard suddenly thought of something, and waved his hand to Groh to "kindly remind": "By the way, the potion I gave you is best used at a time when it is about two hours after nightfall. ”
"Ahh Gro was stunned, "Why is that?"
"In that case, there will be a mystical connection with the stars in the outside world, and you will get a better meditative effect. Richard spoke. Of course, the real reason is that he doesn't want to wait for Gro to meditate all night, he just wants to go out of his body at a fixed time to help the other party, after all, he still has things to do the rest of the time.
"Oh, is that so? Gro didn't know what Richard was thinking, nodded as if he didn't understand, and then responded seriously, "In that case, then Your Excellency Richard, I will definitely pay attention to the time, don't be wrong." ”
"That's good. ”
"I'm leaving?"
"Okay, goodbye. ”
"Goodbye. ”
Gro mounted his horse with a large number of guards and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Richard's eyes flashed, he withdrew his gaze, and turned to the side.
