Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 55 There are still many questions
Zhu Zhen knew that Wang Fu had begun to notice some clues.

But Wang Fu is still Lao Zhu's spy.

But Zhu Ming had no choice. This guy was simply his personal bodyguard. It was almost impossible to hide everything from him forever.

I'm afraid that even if I spend a night with a girl in the future, I won't be able to hide it from Wang Fu.

Wang Fu would definitely not dare to listen to Qiang Gen, but he must know who he slept with.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen looked into Wang Fu's eyes and began to become resentful.

Otherwise, find an opportunity to kill Wang Fu?
"Your Highness? Why are you looking at me like this?" Wang Fu keenly began to feel the cold wind on the back of his neck and couldn't help but shudder.

Zhu Chun snorted, knowing that it would be difficult to win over Wang Fu. After all, the master behind Wang Fu was Zhu Chun's biological father, the current emperor Hongwu.

Unless Zhu Zhu ascends the throne himself.

"Your Highness, is it almost done?" At this time, a soldier relieved Wang Fu and brought Zhu Zhen back to his senses.

Before I knew it, another 10 minutes passed.

Because the temperature of the furnace had not cooled down much before, it was faster this time than before.

Zhu Zhen asked people to take out four crucibles in order, and then poured them into the corresponding number of molds prepared.

This is at least the third operation. After the first inexplicable failure and the recent success, the soldiers have become more proficient.

After the glass liquid in the mold is spread out and flattened, there is a long waiting time.

As the glass cools naturally, the mirror begins to become stronger.

Before the glass was completely embedded in the mold, Zhu Zhen had someone remove it in the same manner as before.

As the four panes of glass were successfully removed, the soldiers did not utter any more exclamations, and the courtyard even fell into an eerie silence.

The soldiers stared intently at the glass in front of them, held in their hands by thick gloves, not daring to breathe for fear of scaring the artwork in their hands.

Yes, it is a work of art.

I saw that these four pieces of glass had almost no color. Except for a negligible green color in some corners, the entire glass was transparent.

Even those greens are only a few dots.

Even Zhu Zhen, who was picky and had witnessed the splendid technological civilization of later generations, was nodding his head at this time and could not find any faults.

After all, the technology in his hands is really limited. Even this blast furnace is used to smelt steel, not to burn glass.

Even a kiln for firing ceramics is a hundred times more powerful than the current furnace, right?

Being able to achieve this level has exceeded Zhu Chu's expectations.

At the same time, Zhu Ming also knew that this was because the materials he used were too advanced, and they were all ready-made raw materials.

"Is it really a problem with the auxiliary materials?" Zhu Zhu held his chin with his hand and looked at several pieces of glass in deep thought.

Among these four pieces of glass, some use quartz sand as the main material, some use feldspar or limestone as the main material, and the main material used in one of them is the most common sand.

Soda ash powder is of course essential, followed by the addition of auxiliary materials including manganese dioxide.

It is these auxiliary materials that have the effect of neutralizing iron elements and fading, making all four pieces of glass transparent.Apart from the fact that the shape of the glass itself still needs to be polished, this is a complete success.

In other words, the main material almost does not need to be changed, just ordinary sand. Of course, if there is something better, similar to the sand in the desert or the seaside, maybe it will be better?
Secondly, soda ash is a must.

Then we need to consider how other excipients should be extracted in this era.

The first is soda ash. If Zhu Zhu remembers correctly, alkaline water can be extracted from plant ash, and then after filtering and drying, soda ash powder can be obtained, right?

Especially in making glass, soda ash powder extracted from plant ash might work better?
Moreover, Zhu Chu had thought before that making soap would also require alkaline water. It seemed that the method of extracting alkaline from plant ash was a must.

The only thing that needs to be considered is that in ancient times, this kind of thing would be a waste of manpower and material resources.

"Anyway, those people in the Curie House have nothing to do in the winter, so why not let them work for me," Zhu Zhen secretly made up his mind about the prisoners.

"But how to solve the problem of manganese dioxide? It seems that we can only buy technical formulas," Zhu Zhen sighed secretly. At the same time, he complained for the first time, why he didn't study physics, chemistry, and biology, even if he studied liberal arts and history. That’s fine.

What about geography?

But he never imagined that he would travel through time one day, right?

Putting these things aside without thinking about it, Zhu Zhen asked people to put the produced glass aside, and continued to ask people to bake the raw materials on hand into glass one by one.

In the end, because the soda ash powder was used up first, Zhu Chen got a total of 24 pieces of glass. Including the initial failed product, the total was 25 pieces.

"Huh? Why is it 25? Not 24 or 26?" Zhu Ming muttered, because don't their brothers also happen to be 25?
Does this mean something?
Of course, this was what Zhu Ming himself was talking about.

"My lord is wise and mighty."

The soldiers in the yard, after witnessing the birth of this batch of glass, suddenly fell to their knees spontaneously and admired the miracle created by Zhu Chu.

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but feel a little proud. Although he cheated, this was considered his ability, wasn't it?

"You can say it a few more times," Zhu Zhen said, raising his head.

Wang Fu came to Zhu Chu with a black line and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, what are you going to do with these glasses?"

"What should I do with it? Of course I have to find a way to sell it. I found out before that the old guy Mu De's family is very rich, why not cheat him? No, you have to think about your own people when you look at good things," Zhu Zhen said carelessly. Come up with your own plan.

Poor Mu De, he entertained Zhu Chu in order to make a good living, but ended up showing off his wealth. Zhu Chu was eyeing him, and he planned to be the first to 'operate' on him.

Even Wang Fu couldn't bear to look directly at the prince.

Your Highness, you just made these things by burning a pile of sand, and you plan to trick people?
At the same time, Wang Fu reminded: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that the first one should be filial to His Majesty?"

"Ah?" Zhu Zhen was immediately shocked: "This thing can be worth a lot of money. If the court and my father find out about it, how can I get rich?"

Wang Fu broke into a cold sweat. Your Highness, do you have to play so big?

Zhu Ming shook his head repeatedly: "No, at least I can't give it now, I have to wait until I make a fortune. And you, what happened today is rotten in my heart, you know, if anyone says that only sand is needed to burn glass, I chopped off his dog’s head.”

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion, but Wang Fu knew very well that their prince was planning to trick someone.

But Wang Fu still said: "Your Highness, your Majesty must pay tribute. There must be no mistakes in this."

Seeing that Wang Fu was so ignorant, Zhu Chu also knew that if he continued to behave arrogantly, the old boy would sue him, so he discussed it and asked: "How about giving the first piece to the old man? That's ours. This is the first step to success, so that I can show my filial piety."

Wang Fu just looked at Zhu Zhen expressionlessly, are you kidding me?Isn't that the worst?
