In the backyard of the Mo Mansion.

Merton has a laboratory, and no one is allowed to enter it on weekdays, not even the best Qin Huaiyu and the three have never entered.

Usually when he has nothing to do, Merton will be in this laboratory, busy for half a day, which includes the most advanced experimental equipment of this era, and even a simple boiler, which is burning on fire.

In the laboratory today, Merton has lost all interest in the equipment, because once glass is present, all the utensils here are outdated.

This is also the reason why Merton has always wanted Mojia Village to develop glass, once the glassware appears, many experiments in later generations can be restored again, and the development of Mojia will definitely be able to have a qualitative leap.

Lao Zhangtou sat in the boiler, and kept putting some quartz and glass-refining materials into the boiler.

And Merton was holding a pencil next to him, and kept drawing on a piece of rice paper, measuring cups, test tubes, beakers, alcohol lamps, iron stands, long-necked flasks, etc., and soon three-dimensional bottles and jars appeared on the paper.

Merton thought for a moment, drew all the equipment in his mind for the experiments of the later life, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he handed the paper to the old man on the side.

"Uncle Zhang, after you go back, make these artifacts as soon as possible and send them to Mofu." Merton commanded.

The old man glanced at the paper, nodded silently, put the paper away, and kept it close to him.

"By the way, make a few more copies and send them to Xuanduguan." Merton couldn't help but show a knowing smile, believing that these equipment Daoist Wai Dan Sect would definitely be satisfied.

"Okay young master!"

Lao Zhangtou added some charcoal to the boiler, and the fire in the boiler suddenly became a little stronger.

For the whole day, the two of them were busy in the experiment, and only Fauber brought food and water to the two of them on time.

By the next day, the fire had finally been extinguished, and Merton was in front of him with more than a dozen pieces of irregular glass, and beside them, discarded failures were stacked on high ground.

"Young Master, what do you think of these?" The old man's eyes were red, and he looked at the palm-sized uneven glass with pride, although he didn't know the purpose of these glasses, but he believed that the young master would be of great use.

Merton yawned, felt the familiar bumps, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Young master, let's eat some food and rest!" Fauber pushed the door in, and when he saw the two of them with haggard faces, he said distressedly.

The two of Merton nodded, grabbed the food sent by Fauber, and ate it in large gulps.

Merton finished eating in two bites, and Fauber was already busy, ready to pack up and leave.

"Slowly?" Merton had an idea and called out to Fauber.

"Young Master, what do you command?" Fauber stops the trail.

"Fauber, do you usually get dazzled, and your eyesight is not as good as a glance?" Merton asked.

Fu Bo nodded: "It's normal for old eyes to be dizzy when you're old. ”

Hearing this, Merton's heart suddenly moved, and he used a piece of rice paper to seal all the concave and convex glass in front of him, and dug a round hole in the middle of the rice paper, handed it to Fu Bo and said, "Fu Bo, you can see through the round hole again, see if you can see clearly?" ”

Although Fauber had doubts in his heart, he still did as he was told.

"Huh!" As soon as Fauber handed the round hole in front of him, he was suddenly startled by the clear sight.

"How is this possible?" Fauber was shocked. He was accustomed to hazy sight, and when objects appeared clearly in front of him, it seemed to be back in the prime of life.

Merton nodded, "That's the most important use of glass." ”

"Young Master is wise, this is the blessing of the old people in the world!" Fu Bo and Lao Zhangtou admired each other, and they could make the old man see clearly from now on that such a treasure was much more useful than a wine cup that could only drink.

No wonder the young master directly smashed the wine cup directly, now Fu Bo is not distressed at all, in his opinion, only such glasses that benefit people are probably worthy of the concept of the Mo family.

"Could it be that this is a birthday gift for the Emperor." Fauber asked.

Merton nodded and said: "This is not the birthday gift of the emperor, but the birthday gift of the old people in the world, in the future, all the glass in Mojia Village will produce glasses, and from now on, the old people in the world will no longer have to worry about the old eyes faint and inconvenient." ”

"Old decay knows!" Lao Zhangtou nodded on the side.

The craft of producing reading glasses has been taught to him without reservation, and when he returns to Mojia Village in the future, he will definitely be able to produce them on a large scale.

Fauber looked at the lens in his hand and immediately couldn't put it down, but he felt very inconvenient: "Isn't it a little inconvenient to hold the glass like this!" ”

Fu Bo can't be idle, if he can hold a piece of glass in his hand all the time, I'm afraid it will be extremely inconvenient to work, plus the glass is fragile, once damaged, he is afraid that he will feel distressed for a long time.

Merton shook his head and said: "Of course not, this is for people to see clearly, only need to intercept this object slightly larger than the eye, make an iron frame hoop, and hang it on the bridge of the nose and ears, so that it can not only reduce the weight, but also do not affect the normal life, which is extremely convenient." ”

Fu Bo was overjoyed when he heard this, who doesn't want his eyes to be clear and easy to move.

Lao Zhangtou shook his head regretfully, and said: "Although the young master's method is good, but it doesn't work with glass, once the brittle is formed, it can't be cut at all, when the old man was in Mojia Village, he also thought about cutting glass, but whether it is with a knife or other tools, it can't be cut at all, once the force is too strong, the glass will be shattered." ”

Merton shook his head and chuckled softly, "Glass is true, but that's because you haven't found a really suitable tool for cutting.

"Cutting tools?" Old Zhang looked at Morton puzzled, he was the most skilled craftsman in Mojia Village, and there were still cutting tools in the world that he hadn't used?

Merton laughed and said, "What is this, even if a diamond is so hard, there is a way to cut it, let alone glass." ”

"Do you cut diamonds?" Lao Zhangtou said in his heart.

However, the value of a diamond is not comparable to that of glass, and if this is the case, I am afraid that the price of cutting glass will be great.

Merton smiled mysteriously, and took out a long cutting knife from the laboratory, but the tip of the re-cutting knife was not a sharp blade, but a small diamond.

I saw Merton holding a cutting knife and making scratches on the lenses of unfinished reading glasses, and gently broke them with his hands, and the glass was easily broken along the scratches, and soon an oval lens was completed.

Lao Zhangtou suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, who would have thought that the world's hardest diamond could be used to cut glass.

The rest of the work has been done very well, and under the superb craftsmanship of Lao Zhangtou, the oval lenses are created one by one. It is then assembled on the already built eye frame.

Soon, two reading glasses were in front of Merton.

"One pair of Fu Bo, and the rest of the pair will be left for the Emperor Taishang as a birthday gift." Merton waved his hand.

Fu Bo's heart trembled, and he said with sincere fear: "I am a commoner, how can He De be able to use the same thing with the emperor, this is a big rebellion." ”

Merton put a pair of reading glasses and said: "This is my Mo family's thing, is there a reason why I don't need to provide for others?" ”

Merton's long-standing belief is to lead Mojia Village to prosperity, and in his heart, Fu Bo's position is the same as that of his relatives, and how can he let Fu Bo be wronged.

"Besides, Uncle Zhang will definitely make this thing in a steady stream, and these will just be sparse and ordinary things at that time.

When Fu Bo heard this, he accepted it with confidence, touched his tears and said: "Then I'll put it away first, and I'll wear it when the emperor's birthday passes in the future." ”

Seeing this, Merton did not force it any longer, but focused his eyes on the other reading glasses, took out a sandalwood box, and beautifully packaged the reading glasses.

At this point, the birthday ceremony of the Emperor Taishang is ready to be completed.
