    The failure of the missionary work is also a reflection of Eastern and Western values. This is an era where eating fruit when a passer-by is thirsty is not considered stealing. However, according to the Bible, if you steal fruit, you will be thrown into purgatory, not to mention that your children and grandchildren will suffer.

    The development of Buddhism on this soil is inseparable from its self-castrating characteristics - Tibetan Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism were already two different things in the Ming Dynasty.  As a local religion, Taoism also has its natural advantage, that is, it can organize famous people in history and deified legends from ancient times to the present to form a complete system.  As for why these historical celebrities became gods, it is not simple. This book will solve it all.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After sending away the duo who wanted to poach the Australian corner, A Ying's recently bought little pet came to fill the gap.

    ?????????????????? Since some time ago, some upper-class Chinese people thought that eating all the food was something bad.  So, it was the same this time, and none of the three of us finished the fairly sumptuous meal A.

    Seeing that Xiao Hei in A Ying's mouth was happily filling the plate, Jin Sanduo had a few more black lines on his brows.  The cute pet that Aying keeps with her all day long is a black bear cub she bought from a hunter on Phi Island.  It was probably when she saw that her sisters in Australia all kept koalas as pets that Aying's heart began to grow.

    Unlike A Ying, Jin Sanduo knew that this guy could grow to a thousand or several hundred pounds, and he was a ferocious beast after all.  It was just that when Aying saw Xiao Hei who had lost her mother and was crying for food, she couldn't help her mother and bought it from the hunter - and assured Jin Sanduo that Xiao Hei would be very good and well-behaved.  Jin Sanduo had no choice but to accept the cute guys in the zoo.

    With a cup of tea after dinner, Jin Sanduo went to the biology teacher: "Teacher Cai. I would like to ask, as one of the large mammals, bears are one of the large mammals. What should we do if they become vicious?"

    Teacher Cai looked at the obedient Xiao Hei over there and said, "That's what you said, I don't think so."

    "Please ask the teacher for advice."

    Teacher Cai said: "Let's put it this way, motherhood is not something that only humans have. Have you heard the story of wolf children or bear children? Because the cubs die, the female wolf or bear will find the human baby.  The kind that was raised.¡±

    "There are still some rumors." But the cub was dead. What is the situation in our family?

    Teacher Cai also held the tea cup and said: "Mammals are generally social animals. A human baby is raised by a female wolf or a female bear since he was a child. When he grows up, he will be a bear child or a wolf child. In essence,  It is said that apart from genes and appearance, he is no longer human. In the same way, wolves and bears have grown up in human society, so apart from appearance and genes, they are members of the human race. Treating pets as family members  Is it common?"

    "This happens all the time. I also had a puppy when I was a child. When I went to the army, the puppy couldn't let me go and chased me for a long timeuntil I got on the bus at the station. I understand what you mean. You mean this bear is long.  When he grows up, he will become a person who cannot speak."

    Teacher Cai nodded: "That's it. Generally speaking, even cold-blooded animals also have the concept of family affection. Bears in the wild usually hurt people to protect their territory or cubs. In fact, the nature of wolves and dogs is not the same except for their domestication.  What¡¯s the difference? If it¡¯s your dog, he won¡¯t bite you if you hold her puppy.¡±

    Jin Sanduo thought of the puppy he had raised and said, "The one I raised forgot about the newborn puppy when it saw me."

    "So, don't worry. Even when he grows up, he will be one of us."

    After getting the answer that the beasts that grew up in human society would not cause any harm, Jin Sanduo went to the kitchen to get some seafood to feed Xiao Hei with A Ying - when he grows up, he only knows his mother but not his father.  It's a tragedy. Jin Sanduo thinks that he can't compete with the black bear in terms of strength. He can only hope that the little black will be more obedient when he grows up.

    Seeing how cooperative her husband was today, Aying shed a few tears.

    ¡°Well, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    "It's okay, I remember my parents, brothers, sisters, and brothers."

    "It's okay, aren't we fine? Besides, isn't it just to avoid separation of flesh and blood from having so many children in each family?" Jin Sanduo said about his family affairs: "My family has many more children than yours."  , I remember one time when my brother, who was one year younger than me, couldn¡¯t live at home and had to rent a house outside. As a result, he got gas and died. When my family found out, they only said ¡®oh¡¯.¡±

    A Ying wiped away her tears and said, "The people in your family are so cold."

    "That's because from the moment he went out to rent a house, he should have carefully considered the dangers. Including the fact that he might die due to an accident, when he went outWe were mentally prepared when we moved into the house.  "Jin Sanduo said: "The living people still have to live, work and study. It's not worth it to grieve for a dead person every day and do nothing.  "

    It is said that after the Ming Dynasty introduced the second batch of Australian firearms, in addition to reorganizing the Shenji Battalion into the Shenji Army, it established two new armies, namely the Guangning Army in Liaodong. The figure in charge of this new army was Western  Sun Yuanhua, a firearms expert, and the other Tianxiong army from Zhili were in charge of this new army. The person in charge of this new army was the famous prefect Lu Xiangsheng.

    After getting this news, the passengers of the Lushan were also a little uneasy. Although there was no military knowledge in these eight-part essays, there were indeed many military geniuses among those who started their careers with eight-part essays - it is said that they have been seriously biased since childhood.  Although he is a master, he is able to understand new things so quickly, which can only be described as a talent.

    Wang Yangming's one who opened it would not be said, and the coach of these Ming Dynasty new troops in the north is also a moment of people.  Fortunately, standardization and assembly line technology are still a long-standing problem for the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how could the Republic of Australia still have such a country?

    Australian Youth City.

    Lin Yi from the industrial group said solemnly: "Now I announce that the blast furnace steelmaking plan will be suspended indefinitely."

    The blast furnace cannot be built. Although there are technologies and drawings, the problem of oxygen blowing on the top floor has stumped a lot of people - the production and storage of liquid oxygen is a problem. In the 1960s, small steel workshops in towns and villages could start from it.  Raw materials are bought in the industrial social system, but the problem now is that there is no place to buy them in Australia - industrialization is actually a system, not one or two factories. This is something that the Lushan Travelers finally understood.

    The good news is that the open-hearth iron-making furnaces built by these master craftsmen from Guangdong are already capable of producing fake steel (filled steel). Building a few more iron-making plants can barely meet Australia's temporary steel demand - look at special steel.  Lushan's high-temperature electric furnace.

    Now that the blast furnace steelmaking plan has gone bankrupt, the blast furnace glass burning plan has naturally gone bankrupt. However, since coking has already begun, the coke can be used by future open-hearth steel plants and glass plants - after all, the calorific value of coke is still quite high.  .

    Now the problem faced by the industrial group led by Lin Yi is how to better remove impurities, sulfur and phosphorus from the molten iron in the open-hearth furnace - because although blast furnace steelmaking is the only way to industrialize steel in later generations, before this, everyone still used the open-hearth furnace.  Steelmaking.  These steel plants built by master craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty still have a lot of room for improvement. If they can be systematically transformed, they can make steel and burn glass.

    Now is a period of great development in Australia. With one order, more craftsmen and basic labor force have joined the construction of open hearths.  Australians have their own plans and ideas for the construction of modern open-hearth steelmaking furnaces - of course these have been proven by historical practice. Although the master craftsmen were still very critical at first - there is no reason for laymen to lead experts, but wait  After it was built, the effect was naturally surprisingly good.

    After easily abandoning the immature blast furnace steelmaking plan, everyone in the industrial group turned their attention to burning glass. Mirrors were very popular goods in both Asia and Europe in the seventeenth century.  The Lushan can still hold up in terms of armaments, but it is not cost-effective to burn a large amount of glass.

    The industrial group¡¯s slogan changed: ¡°Since the Venetians are burning, so can we.¡±

    It¡¯s just that people in this time travel are very ambitious, and they want to challenge flat glass as soon as they come up.  Flat glass is not blown, and even most of the glass in later generations is made by opening molds and casting. If it is blown out by the human lung capacity, it is a work of art and not an industrial product.

    Making flat glass requires an iron platform. Taking into account the cooling time of the glass, dozens or even dozens of iron platforms weighing thousands of kilograms are needed - so the best filled steel produced by the ironworks is taken.  Let's build something that people in the Ming Dynasty thought of as big iron beds. This big iron bed must not only be smooth and flat, but also not have a burr. For modern industry, this requirement is nothing, but now Australia only  You can first open a mold to make a large iron bed, then use a hammer to knock it out bit by bit as required. Finally, you have to wait for the Lushan ship to come back and use the polishing machine on it to go through it again.

    This time the Lushan came back at the right time. The Lushan returned to Youth Port carrying immigrants and goods, and the industrial group's key project of flat glass began to be fired in the kiln.  Then the large iron beds that had undergone primary processing were transported to the Lushan to wait for polishing. They learned that this was the time when the first furnace of glass in Australia was about to be released. After making sure that the furnace would not explode when burning glass, everyone participated in the glass furnace with great interest.  This scene comes out.

    Naturally, the first polished iron bed and a polished iron rod also returned to the glass factory.

    Captain Roger asked at the scene: "What I want to ask is, do we already have an alkali plant?"

    Lin Yi said: "The edible alkaline noodles??For the Australian industry, there are still certain difficulties.  We currently use Hou's alkali production method, which can only produce industrial soda ash and fertilizer ammonium chloride.  Next, we plan to expand the production of soda ash and use ammonium chloride to make synthetic ammonia, so that we will even have **.  In the future, mining, road construction, and even arms production will all require synthetic ammonia.  "

    At this point, Lin Yi said proudly: "Speaking of which, it is still difficult to implement it step by step even though the technology is already available. We tried dozens of times on this simple alkali plant before we succeeded. But there are still benefits. We have obtained  Fertilizer and soda ash.¡±

    An old master looked at the reaction inside the furnace and said: "Open the furnace."

    This furnace is not big. Australia¡¯s first glass factory is experimental in nature. After success, more and larger glass factories will be built.  The porcelain crucible inside was held out by two large iron hooks, and the red-hot glass liquid inside was quickly poured onto the large iron bed that had been waiting for a long time outside. The iron rod then came up to spread the red glass liquid on it.

    Last night, all the above-mentioned large iron beds were pushed into a closed warehouse isolated from the outside with the wheels below - it has been measured with a level to ensure that the large iron beds will remain level here.  Lin Yi clapped his hands: "Okay, I think everyone can see the birth of Australia's first flat glass before leaving."

    Captain Roger asked: "Is this the end?"

    Lin Yi nodded: "There are still more than ten days of cooling period. The best way now is to cool naturally. Glass is actually liquid from the moment it crystallizes, including all the glassware we use now. It's just that  It takes hundreds of years for it to deform at room temperature, so it's still in our tolerance period."

    Thinking about it, people only live for a few decades.  However, it is said that some Japanese daimyo use glassware as family heirlooms, which is a bad thing.

    During this cooling period, the glass factory did not stop, and was still producing flat glass furnace after furnace.

    Of course, before the Lushan leaves, this first piece of flat glass must be put on board - it is also used as a teaching ship for electroplating technology in the laboratory.

    When two workers with thick gloves moved out Australia's first piece of flat glass, everyone discovered that Australia's first piece of glass was actually lavender.  Although the prodigy's poems are full of nobles and nobles, for the glass industry, transparent and colorless glass is the best - of course, it would be better if the technology could change the color at will.

    Seeing this, Lin Yi, the leader of the stained glass industry group, was also scratching his head: "It seems that there is something wrong with the input ratio. How can it turn purple after the iron has been removed?"

    Captain Roger advised: "Take your time."

    Lin Yi asked the military industry team member on the ship: "Can you make a mirror?"

    Several people were touching the flatness of the glass: "Don't worry, it's the silver that reflects, not the glass itself. The quality of this piece of flat glass is still within the permitted range for manufacturing mirrors."

    Of course, the Ming Dynasty did not need a large full-length mirror measuring one meter and five meters by two meters.  Jin Sanduo contributed a diamond ring which was used as a glass knife for cutting glass - by the way, Aying had been jealous of this diamond ring for a long time. Women are always interested in shiny and shiny things - legendary dragons and some real ones.  Birds seem to be like this too.

    Lin Yi said firmly: "Don't worry, we will burn colorless glass."

    It¡¯s just that in the spring of this year, the most important thing is agriculture. Opening up wasteland for sowing, diversion of water, and construction of canals for irrigation are the top priority.  This is also everyone¡¯s first spring after arriving in Australia.  Although 1629 will not be peaceful in the end, it is obvious that the world after the arrival of the Lushan will add more variables.  (To be continued.
