Chapter Eighty-Nine: Glass

"Your Highness...... Grass people willing! ”

Fan Zeng's expression was excited, he had done nothing in his life, and he never thought that he would get such an opportunity in his later years, and he would not seize it at this time, let alone when. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Well, the newspaper office in the Bowen College will be completed at the end of the month, although it is a little simple, but you can move in at that time, now you can choose the personnel in the newspaper, I also have a newspaper structure here, you can take it back and see."

Xiao Ming said, let the green pothos go to the dormitory and take out a manuscript, which is composed of a newspaper written by Xiao Ming according to the modern newspaper and the actual situation of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

Once the newspaper is established, the newsboy will no longer exist, but will be renamed a reporter, but his reporter will not only gather news, but also go to the countryside to read the newspaper.

The newspaper is divided into printing department, editorial department, logistics department and other departments, which is basically the prototype of a modern newspaper.

During this period of time, getting along with all kinds of people in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, Xiao Ming thought that the ancients were not stupid, but they lacked knowledge, but once they made these things clear, they could quickly use them flexibly, and they could not underestimate people's creative minds in any era.

Because of this, with Xiao Ming's encouragement, the ideas of the Instrument Division, the Bowen Hall, and the Workshop gradually opened up, instead of being imprisoned by the decadent culture, all kinds of novel things, so that they have more willingness to try, learn scientific and technological knowledge, and let them understand that science and technology are productivity.

He deeply felt that whether the people of an era could create a new era of civilization was entirely dependent on the guidance of the entire folk atmosphere, and the source of guidance was these rulers.

Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, literary prison, and deposed the hundred schools of thought to respect Confucianism, and one of the things that the rulers of the feudal dynasty did from beginning to end in order to stabilize the country was to fool the people.

The only purpose of scholars is to be an official and maintain their rule, and for thousands of years, the elite of the feudal dynasty has only pursued a supreme minister.

And the appearance of the newspaper was the time when he changed this literary and artistic atmosphere like a pool of stagnant water, and the Renaissance could not appear in his fiefdom.

Now that the president of the newspaper has been determined, the next step is to prepare for the establishment of the newspaper in a step-by-step manner, and with his guidance, the newspaper will not make any mistakes.

Fan Zeng returned home like a dream, looking at his fierce wife, who straightened his waist on weekdays, and now he was the president of the newspaper that he ordered.

told his family about this, and the family was naturally happy, and Fan Zeng's wife Sun also deliberately killed the chickens in the family to reward Fan Zeng, and he was aggrieved for decades, and today he finally raised his eyebrows.

The changes in Qingzhou are like the spring rain running silently, sneaking into the night with the wind.

Fan Zeng is just one of the people who feels this change, and more people are just in Lushan and don't know the true face of Lushan, but in the eyes of outsiders, this change in Qingzhou is particularly dazzling.

For example, the merchants who came to Qingzhou from other places, everything in Qingzhou was quite strange to them, but their focus was still on the workshop area hidden behind the tall walls.

Although he tried his best to find out the secrets, he didn't get much out of it now, except that he learned that there were a lot of strange machines in the workshop area.

And now there is something called a newspaper in Qingzhou.

Naturally, these businessmen first thought about whether this newspaper could make money, because they had now formed a habit, as long as it was something made by King Qi, they would always think so.

However, after observing for a few days, they regretted that it seemed that they could not, because the cost of the newspaper was not proportional to the price of the newspaper, and very few people bought it.

"Hey, King Qi doesn't seem to have any new ideas to make money for a while." In the restaurant, a merchant sighed.

The merchant sitting opposite said: "Just soap, perfume, drunken Qingzhou will make King Qi make a lot of money, plus these commodities that Li Kaiyuan is now promoting, so that the sales of these three items have increased greatly, it is said that King Qi is now earning a million a month, do you need anything else?"

"That's right, it's just that the merchants who stayed in Qingzhou still have some regrets, after all, these goods were taken by some merchants first, and the latecomers couldn't drink the soup." The merchant said, then picked up the new newspaper for the day and read it.

When he saw the article at the bottom of the page, his expression suddenly tightened.

Because it says that King Qi is leading a group of craftsmen to produce a very magical thing in the instrument department recently, the article doesn't say much about what to study, just says that the merchants should wait.

This news spread instantly among the merchants with the newspaper, and the merchants also paid attention to the newspaper for the first time, but they did not expect that there would be such precious information.

For a while, the merchants of Qingzhou City asked everywhere what King Qi was doing?

The only clue they got was that King Qi had taken a lot of sand from the river beach.

Sand? The merchants were confused, what was this for?

For modern people, it is basically understood that sand can be used to produce glass.

This is exactly what Xiao Ming wants to do next, in fact, Xiao Ming wants to produce glass not purely to make money, but more to use glass to make things such as telescopes, chemical instruments and the like.

Because the chemical laboratory does need these things to purify more pure alkali, and the most important one is that Xiao Ming has collected all the materials for the production of glass.

This is the same as the effect of collecting the Dragon Balls, and it is time to summon the Divine Dragon.

Sand, limestone, soda ash, this is the condition for the production of calcium and sodium glass, the silica in the sand, soda ash reduces the melting point, limestone provides calcium, a pure and transparent glass can be born.

This is the material needed for chemical instruments, beakers, graduated cylinders, test tubes, etc., with which the chemistry lab is fine.

After collecting all the materials, the following is fuse, and the formation of molten glass requires 1,300 degrees, which is basically the same as coking, so the temperature is raised.

Xiao Ming had to design a device specifically designed to raise the temperature, a regenerative chamber.

The regenerator is a brick building, generally separated by two furnaces, and the two regenerators will be filled with multiple empty lattice bricks, and the heat of the two regenerators will be exchanged in the furnace in the middle from the regenerator to increase the temperature in the furnace.

In the past, there were no bricks, Xiao Ming naturally did not use a regenerator, but now that there are bricks and manpower, it is natural to change shotguns, and now whether it is blast furnace ironmaking or coking, they are building regenerators.

As a result, the quality of the coke has improved, the quality of the iron has also improved, and the glass has been fortunate enough to enjoy the furnace regenerator from the very beginning.

Xiao Ming, a glass producer, imparted the knowledge of glass production, after the furnace regenerator was built, the materials could be mixed and thrown in, and when the glass liquid came out, it was annealed and blown glassware, which could only be used manually.
