Wentang

Chapter 228

The military academy was about to start school, and Jing Junhong was so excited that he rushed over to report to Yue Shan in the afternoon and discuss various preparations for the start of school.The two of them hid in the room and discussed until midnight before finally making a rough plan.

The school start date is selected on the first day of April, which is five days later.During this period, Jing Junhong was responsible for thoroughly cleaning up the school and purchasing teaching supplies and daily necessities.

The most important thing is the clothes, a specially designed garment called the training uniform, which cancels the hem of the coat, leaving only a coat, and the trousers are completely exposed to the outside.There are also special leather shoes, there are no other requirements, as long as they are breathable and wear-resistant.

As for why you have to prepare clothes and shoes now... because these things are used during training, and they must be close-fitting.It can only be tailored after the personnel are confirmed, so it has been delayed until now.

All in all, during the five days of respecting Junhong, don't think about it for a moment.Originally, he wanted to drag Yue Shan to work together.It's just that when he went to find someone the next day, he found that Yue Shan had announced that he had retreated.

He could only leave resentfully, secretly scolding Yue Shan in his heart for being meaningless.

But this time he really wronged Yue Shan...

Yue Mansion, a small courtyard with strict guards, a certain room, Yue Shan and Bao Dalin are busy.

"Dalang, what should we do now?" Bao Dalin said, wiping off his sweat.

"Raise the fire first, don't use a big fire, first raise the temperature of the stove with a small fire." Yue Shan ordered.

Bao Dalin took some carbon and lit it in the stove.Here, Yue Shan checked the materials again, and filled most of the crucible after confirming that there was no problem.

The temperature in the stove was getting higher and higher. After the inside and outside became hot, Yue Shan saw that it was almost done, and put the crucible into the boiler with tongs.

This is a semi-enclosed stove for ironmaking, leaving only firewood filling holes, air inlet holes and air outlet holes, and a small door for taking and placing the crucible.Only in this way can the heat dissipation be reduced and the temperature in the furnace can rise higher.

Then there is the long wait.As time passed, the temperature in the entire room became hotter.Sweat trickled down his cheeks like running water.

"Old Bao, come and drink some water." Yue Shan had been prepared for a long time, scooped up two bowls of light salt water, drank one for himself, and handed Bao Dalin another.

Bao Dalin quickly took the water and drank it down, then continued to stare at the fire.He doesn't know what his boss is going to do, but not being curious and not talking too much is the motto he sticks to.

Just do what Da Lang said, he let himself watch the fire, so watch the fire well.

Yue Shan kept observing the changes in the crucible, but more than half an hour passed, and there seemed to be no change on the surface.Knowing that it would take at least six hours to burn the glass, he still couldn't help being anxious.

And seeing Bao Dalin on fire, he always felt that something was missing, and he was sure it was not an illusion.But after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so I became more and more anxious.

At this time, Bao Dalin added a few pieces of charcoal to the stove again. In order to speed up the burning of the charcoal, he took out a copper pipe and blew fiercely on the stove.

Seeing this scene, a thunderbolt flashed in Yue Shan's mind, and he patted his forehead regretfully.No wonder I always feel that something is missing. It turns out that there is no bellows.

In the previous life, when ground pots were common in rural areas, almost every household had bellows, and Yue Shan was still using them at home before he was 15 years old.

Don't underestimate the small wooden box, it is really helpful for burning the fire.

"You watch the fire first, I'll go out for a while." Yue Shan left a word and ran out.

When I got outside the door, I couldn't help shivering when I was blown by the cold wind, so I hurried back and put the clothes on the shelf over my body.

After going out, he found his servant who knew carpentry and instructed him to make bellows.

The bellows does not have much technical content. Several wooden boards are assembled into a cuboid wooden box, and there is a wooden board that acts as a piston inside, and two wooden sticks that drag the piston...and that's it.

If the piston is stained with chicken feathers or the like, it can effectively increase the wind speed.

Even if the servant of Yue Shan's family had poor carpentry skills, he made one in less than an hour.The main thing is that the planks are ready-made, which saves a lot of time.

After that, he asked his servants to help deliver the wooden box to the door of the studio.After driving the people away, he moved the bellows in.

"Come on, come on, Lao Bao quickly put up this bellows." He greeted Yueshan as soon as he entered the door.

Bao Dalin hurried over to help, and under Yue Shan's command, he placed the bellows at the door of the stove.The air outlet and the stove are connected together with a bamboo tube.

After installing it, Yue Shan tried to drag it a few times, only to hear the whirring sound and remember that gusts of wind were blowing into the stove.The charcoal inside glowed a dazzling red, and an orange glow appeared above the flames.This means that the temperature has reached a thousand degrees.

Seeing the effect of the bellows, Bao Dalin's eyes lit up, and he finally understood what this thing was for.He sighed again in his heart:

This must be the idea that Da Lang came up with, and he really deserves to be a disciple of the gods, it is amazing.

Yue Shan dragged the bellows to Bao Dalin until his arms became weak, while he himself stood aside and looked at the stove again.

The temperature in the stove was getting higher and higher, and blue flames gradually appeared, which meant that the temperature had reached more than [-] degrees.And this temperature is enough to refine the material.

He took a closer look and found that the material powder in the crucible had indeed turned red.However, there is no sign of melting yet.

Yue Shan was not in a hurry, his heart had already settled down when he saw the blue flame.Once the temperature is reached, it is only a matter of time before the material melts.

After four or five hours like this, the material in the crucible finally slowly turned into liquid, just like fiery red magma.

After another hour, all the materials were completely dissolved.After Yue Shan stirred it with an iron rod to confirm that there was no solid, he finally showed a joyful smile.

"Old Bao, don't burn it."

"Are you ready?" Bao Dalin asked in surprise.The fire that burned continuously for seven or eight hours really made him miserable.

"Okay." Yue Shan raised his head and saw Bao Dalin's face flushed like a boiled prawn, and he was immediately happy.But he also knew that he was not much better than him.

Carefully clamp the crucible out with pliers, inside is red glass liquid like magma.To put it bluntly, this thing is magma, but the composition is a little special, and it will become crystalline after cooling.

After cooling for a while, Yue Shan tried it with an iron rod, and felt that the slurry became so viscous that he could pick it up.I know it's almost there.

According to the description in a documentary introducing glass products that he had seen, he tried to blow it with a copper pipe.

After trying the strength of breastfeeding, the ball of liquid was actually blown up.It's a pity that the shape is too embarrassing, and it's quite ugly.

Now Yue Shan didn't know what to do, he didn't have any talent in this area at all.You can't just take this weird thing to see Li Shimin, can you?

As the temperature of the slurry dropped gradually revealing the color of the glass, Bao Dalin, who was standing aside, opened his mouth wider and wider, his eyes staring straight.

Then he shouted in his heart: Turning a stone into gold... No, turning a stone into colored glaze is turning a stone into colored glaze. Da Lang really has magic power.

The gaze towards Yue Shan was also full of awe and admiration.If this was the game, you'd be sure to see his loyalty skyrocket to full.

When he gradually calmed down, he found that Yue Shan was worrying about the strange-shaped Liuli, and he immediately understood what happened.

After thinking for a while, he plucked up his courage and said, "Da Lang, why don't you let me try?"
