The transformation process of the kiln factory was actually faster than Qin Yong expected. The main reason is that the process of refining pottery in this era is indeed similar to that of refining colored glaze. For example, whether it is refining pottery or glass, it actually needs to be burned at a high temperature in a furnace, probably above 1200c. Therefore, in this regard, Qin Yong naturally does not need to make any major changes to the furnace. Then there is the raw material for refining glass. Qin Yong originally thought that the raw materials for refining glass, such as quartz sand, soda ash, etc., would be more troublesome to find. However, he later learned that things like quartz sand were actually the main raw materials for refining ceramics, so they were found in the kiln he bought. As for soda ash, although he couldn't make it at the moment, he knew that in fact, there were many naturally formed soda crystals in nature. Therefore, he just described the characteristics of the soda crystals to the kiln workers in the kiln factory. As a result, some people immediately recalled that there was a mining factory somewhere that originally produced such things. It¡¯s just that ordinary people don¡¯t know the actual use of these soda crystals. Therefore, usually, these soda crystals are directly discarded aside by the mining factory. "Haha, it's not a waste of time. You guys, go and buy these crystals for me right away. Buy as many as you want!" Qin Yongyi heard that this naturally formed soda crystal turned out to be like this in this era. After being unwelcome, he immediately became happy. So, in the next time, he sent several maids such as Qinqi, Shuhua and others to various mining factories to select and buy those soda crystals that no one liked. And what about the owners of those mining plants? I originally thought that these soda crystals were of no use, so. There was no price increase either. You know, they kept it where it was, but it didn't feel like a blockage, so they simply let them buy all the chess, calligraphy and painting at extremely low prices. With the addition of such a large batch of soda crystals, Qin Yong's kiln finally officially started operation. "AuntUncle, is this kiln reallyreally able to make that kind of clear and transparent colored glaze?" "Of course, but whether it will be successful the first time or not, we have to wait and see. I know.¡± Before opening the kiln for the first time. Qin Yong's confidence is actually not very high. There is no way, even though he knows the basic principles of making glass. However, after all, he has never operated it himself, so when you say whether the first experiment was successful or not, he really doesn't have much confidence in his heart. However, he didn't worry about what happened next, because what he thought about was very simple. That is, if he fails to succeed once, he will try it twice. If he fails twice, he can try it three times. Anyway, it has to be done until it succeeds. But what he didn¡¯t expect was, in fact. This "success" came earlier than he thought, because this was the first time the kiln was actually opened. The little girls from Qinqi, Calligraphy and Painting screamed loudly on the side. "Liu Liuli! It's really Liuli!" "Yes, and it's really much prettier than the common Liuli. Such a big piece must be worth at least a hundred taels of silver." "Uh" After hearing what the little girls said, Qin Yong took another look at the so-called "Liu Li", and he smiled bitterly at that time. Yes, their first experiment was indeed "successful". However, this "success" seems a little small, because although the quartz sand and soda crystals did undergo chemical changes under the high temperature, they turned into something similar to "glass" , however, the size and shape of this "glass" are a bit too unsatisfactory. Just like the so-called "big" piece of colored glaze that made those little girls scream in surprise, in fact, it was only as big as Qin Yong's palm. Moreover, its performance is not smooth at all, and even inside the glass, quartz ore and soda crystals that have not yet fully undergone chemical reactions can be seen. Therefore, Qin Yong was naturally dissatisfied. Because the colored glaze he planned to produce must be completely similar to the flat glass of later generations. So, you can see that he shook his head and said, "It'snot good yet! These things should all fall down." "What? All fell down? AuntUncle, thisisn't this good? ! You know, the total here is at least a thousand taels. It would be a shame if it just fell like this. " "Yes, yes, if you really don't like it. But you can give it to our lady, our lady will definitely like it." "That's right, that's right." Hearing Qin Yong's words, the four little girls Qinqi, Shuhua and Qinqi suddenly felt pain in their hearts, so they couldn't help but speak out one after another. It¡¯s no wonder, after all, in their minds, the so-called colored glaze is a hard currency comparable to gold and silver. Therefore, whether it is naturally formed or artificially made, they will actually regard it as a treasure. Even so, in Qin Yong's view, this "treasure" is more like a semi-finished product. However, they still want to stay. However, Qin Yong¡¯s ideas are very different from theirs. That's right, even if it's Liuli of this level, in fact, if he just sells it now, he might be able to sell it for a very high price. However, he did not intend to do this. Because he is very clear that in the future, when he really produces that kind of glass that is flat and transparent enough, the price of colored glaze will definitely drop. Especially the naturally formed colored glaze and the semi-finished product he is currently making. What's more, there are some quartz sand and soda crystals inside this semi-finished product that have not completely completed the chemical reaction. This is a danger of leaking the secret, so naturally he will not sell it. However, several little girls said that the proposal should not be wasted, and Qin Yong accepted it. Therefore, his final decision was to smash all these semi-finished colored glazes into pieces, and then prepare to scatter them into the small pond in their house. The purpose of going inside is to add to the scenery in their small pond. After all, there are a lot of ornamental fish in their small pond, so it is really good to add some glass fragments to embellish it. (To be continued)
