The Yellow Turbans of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 18 Glass
The sky is clear and people are happy, and the goose feathers and snow hit the light.

The night's snow turned Chaya Mountain's hair white, and the full cold air invaded. Lu Renjia shrank back tightly, only to hear a human voice from outside: "Damn God, why are you so cold?" Snowing!"

After Lu Renjia packed his clothes, he rushed out of the room, and the biting cold wind blew, and he wrapped his clothes tightly again.

The Three Kingdoms period was already in the interglacial period. In 185, the crops in the north were not harvested. In addition to the epidemic in the north, the Qiang and other ethnic minorities began to revolt. The center of the imperial army began to move north. Huangfusong and Dong Zhuo both went to the north to suppress them. As for fleeing The Yellow Turban Army had no time to clean up.

"Boss, with such a heavy snowfall, our seeds may be in vain." These workers who were farmers were very distressed about the crops.In their eyes, relatives are not as close as these crops!

Several workers who had planted the fields did not go to work, and they scolded God, these are their lifeblood!

Lu Renjia said: "Fellows, don't worry, if I, Lu Renjia, breathe, you will have to eat. It's just cold snow. Are we afraid of Chaya Mountain?"

Seeing Lu Renjia's behavior like this, everyone relaxed their worries: "Don't be afraid, this bit of snow won't break us down!"

As if God had received a response, he tore a hole in the mist and let the sunlight in.

Lu Renjia also thought of several plans in his mind, but rejected them one by one, "It seems that the glass has to come out ahead of time, and the only way to save the crops is to build a greenhouse!"

I can only thank Lord Up again for giving me another skill to survive in the Three Kingdoms.

Fortunately, the laboratory is not far from the river, and the piles of sand are like no money. This also gave Lu Renjia the capital to do experiments. Lu Renjia originally planned to make perfume first, and earn back all the money he said. , and then develop others, but this cold wave is obviously higher than Lu Renjia expected.

If the cold wave and the epidemic are not resolved, no matter how strong the army is, it will be a joke, so Lu Renjia cooperated with Zhang Niu and Zhou Laoliu to work overtime again.

"Uncle Zhang, this time I have to rely on you to help me fish out a few densities of sand in the river, and here is the structural diagram of the greenhouse. Uncle Zhou, you can bring a few workers to help me build the frame!" Lu Ren A writes the chemical formula on straw paper and calculates it for a while.

Zhou Laoliu said: "Major General, isn't this place in the field! You build a shed, how can these crops bask in the sun?"

Zhou Laoliu is also an expert in planting, so he naturally knows that crops need a lot of sunlight.

But now the cold wave, what's the use of sunshine, it's completely useless!However, geographically speaking, the earth warms the atmosphere, and the atmosphere returns to the earth. These classic things will never be fake, so it is best to use a glass greenhouse to simulate the scene of the atmosphere returning to the earth, so that the heating can be locked, and the crops will not grow. Hit by the cold wave!
Zhang Niu also stretched his neck and took a look: "Brother Zhou, you are right, Major General, you can do whatever you want, if you spoil the food, you will definitely be scolded by Pei Shuai!"

Lu Renjia: "...", what's wrong with me, don't I just want to build a greenhouse?Is this also a crime?Even if I am guilty, please let the court arrest me instead of sending you two crouching dragons and phoenixes to torture me!
"Don't you know about the cold wave now? Do you let the crops freeze to death outside?" Lu Renjia said unhappily.

Zhang Niu was the first to ask: "What is a cold wave? Cold wave, why don't you let the crops outside, it should be a matter of course for the crops to be outside!"

Lu Renjia: Forget it, I can't talk to you, I gave up, "You work, you say a word, be careful that I will deduct your monthly payment!"

Lu Renjia finally experienced the happiness of a capitalist, and the feeling of deducting other people's wages is really cool.

The two crouching dragon and phoenix chicks were intimidated by the threat of wage deductions, and immediately went to various places.

Not long after, Zhang Niu fished out a lot of fine sand in this cold weather!

Lu Renjia called out: Good guy!
The fine sand that has just been fished out cannot be directly used to make glass. Lu Renjia repeatedly dried the fine sand for several days, and then removed the iron sand with an electromagnet to obtain the raw materials he wanted.

But the next step is another complicated jump, because to make glass, fine sand and batch materials must be calcined at 1500 degrees Celsius.

It is indeed a very good time to improve the stove now, because the uprising requires a lot of weapons, and the best weapons are not those made by beating, but those made by pouring are considered treasures!

Then the best way to increase the temperature of the furnace to about 1600 degrees Celsius in a short period of time is to add iron coils to the furnace, so that the fire will gather in the center and never disperse.

So where do the iron materials come from?Lu Renjia decisively asked Zhang Niu to contribute his machete.

Zhang Niu was dull at first, but when he saw that his precious sword was about to be thrown into the furnace, he felt very depressed: "Major General, it's not good for you to be like this, it's wrong for you to be like this!"

Lu Renjia glanced at Zhang Niu, "I'll give you more monthly money, don't talk, and do things. If you don't make iron coils according to my requirements, then you can wait to deduct your wages!"

Zhang Niu, who heard about Qian, was really silent. Is there anything more affectionate than money now?And I found a matchmaker in the county to secure a matchmaker. The most important thing now is to collect money!

Under Zhang Niu's "eighty, eighty" sledgehammer, the iron coil has the appearance it should have.

Lu Renjia heated up repeatedly, and the iron coil also turned red, and the billowing fire invaded from the bottom, and the dry sand accompanied by additives underwent a qualitative change and turned into a liquid.

Lu Renjia secretly shouted: It's done, quickly pour the liquid into the mold prepared in advance.What is most needed now is to allow time to settle. After quenching and annealing, the glass can be produced.

Originally, glass also appeared in the West at this time, but it was a gift of nature. The color is not optimistic, there are many bubbles, and it is useless except for viewing.

Seeing Lu Renjia's success, Zhang Niu hurriedly asked: "Young general, you promised me a salary increase, so you won't renege on it!"

Lu Renjia really lost his temper with this guy who is open to money and said: "Have you turned your eyes on money? Why do you open your mouth and shut your mouth for money?"

After being yelled at, Zhang Niu smiled naively: "I... I asked a matchmaker in the county to be a matchmaker. I will go to her house to see it in two days!"

Lu Renjia said: "Whose house? My Aunt Zhang's house?"

Two hearty "haha" sounded in the laboratory.

Zhang Niu scratched his head in embarrassment again: "So, Major General, it's not that I love money, it's that I have no choice but to use money!"

Lu Renjia was very considerate: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm naturally happy to protect the media, how long, I'll accompany you!"
