1062, glass (below)

The modified porcelain kiln was blazing with red flames, and then something gradually began to melt inside, and finally became drops of liquid flowing out. Then, someone immediately took advantage of the liquid in liquid state and poured it into molds made of yellow mud, obviously waiting for the liquid to cool down and solidify before it completes plasticity. The other part was placed on a smooth porcelain plate. The porcelain plate was obviously of characteristic, with a very smooth surface, just like it was smooth without stopping. These liquids were gradually solidified and formed.

"Husband, you are so amazing. You succeeded in one go!" Cheng Lin exclaimed.

Cheng Lin is sure that this is definitely not a coincidence. Just now, Jing Wen said that glass can be burned with a success rate of at least 80%, so Cheng Lin thought it was not a coincidence. It was definitely Jing Wen who mastered some secret methods, which increased the success rate of glass firing many times, but now it was successful at one time. These liquids melted into liquid glass due to high temperatures, and as long as they solidify, they can become some real glassware.

Jing Wen also smiled because he knew that his chemistry was still working back then. The reason why Jing Wen had never been able to make glass was actually because he did not understand the making process of glass. Although he knew the chemical formulas here, he did not understand the method of truly turning this formula into a real object. This is actually two disciplines, one is science and the other belongs to the category of engineering. So Jing Wen only knows some theories, but Jing Wen doesn't know how to actually produce it.

In fact, this is confidential and is almost exclusive to the royal family. If Jing Wen rashly asks Li Shimin, it may cause Li Shimin's unhappiness. Moreover, Jing Wen may not necessarily make money through this glass, so he did not ask for this production process. However, now Alice actually understands this production method, so Jing Wen took the initiative to ask Alice. After a certain degree of favor design and production process, he can finally greatly improve the success rate of glass production.

After a few hours, the glass liquid seemed to have solidified and gradually became a solid thing.

"Okay, wash off the yellow mud on these molds with water!" Jing Wen said.

The molds of Jingwen are made of yellow mud, but they are just dried yellow mud. As long as the glass inside can solidify, the molds can be washed off. Of course, this is because of the experimental mold, and of course it can be used with yellow mud. If it is formally manufactured, Jingwen must have used metal molds. This can reduce costs.

"Wow--"

Cheng Lin was also very surprised to see the glassware that had been washed off with yellow mud, because this was obviously a glass horse. Although this glass horse did not look very good, it was simply a third-rate carving level, but it couldn't stand its material! This was made of glass the size of a fist. Such a large piece of glass was priceless in the past! It was originally a very valuable glass that could be as big as a fist. But now this glass can actually be as big as a fist. If it were in the past, it would be possible to buy a city.

So this glass shocked Cheng Lin. After all, the value of this glass cannot be measured by money. It is priceless! So Cheng Lin was also a little stunned. Such a large piece of glass may be at least one-fifth of the wealth in Shang Jingwen's family. Moreover, if it is sold for this glass horse, it cannot be measured by value, and no one can afford it. Of course, those families who have accumulated over hundreds of years can actually afford it, but they will not spend so much money for a luxury product. They are not fools.

"Lin'er, are you stunned? Actually, I invented this method of making glass, and glass will be worthless in the future!" Jing Wen said.

"Um--"

Cheng Lin then realized that Jing Wen invented this method of producing glass. That means that glass will not be valuable in the future. The success rate of glass has been greatly improved, so it can be sold in large quantities. Jing Wen's production method completely turned the myth of glass in the past into something that entered the homes of ordinary people. In the future, ordinary people can afford glass, so how could glass still be valuable? Cheng Lin was also speechless about how she was so obsessed with her just now. The glass horse just now was actually not that valuable.

"However, why is this glass so transparent? It seems that there are almost no flaws? At least I didn't see it." Cheng Lin asked.

Jing Wen immediately said: "Of course, the glass made by my new method is of course very transparent and there are no flaws. If there are still flaws in this glass, how can you and I get along with it!"

Jing Wen immediately asked those who were preparing to do their work and said, "Hurry and polish these glassware so that you can truly create a smooth glassware. But you must be careful. If it is broken, you will not be able to afford it!"

Those workers were immediately responsible for polishing the glass carefully because these glasses were made of molds and were not too exquisite. So they were specially used to polish them so that the surface would be smoother and they could be sold! If such a rough thing was sold, it would be an unqualified product, and then those rich people who pursue excellence would never be favored. Therefore, of course, Jing Wen had to strive for excellence so that he could cater to the luxurious enjoyment of those rich people.

"Husband, what do you want to do with these flat glass?" Cheng Lin asked.

Cheng Lin also didn't know what Jing Wen used to do with these flat glasses. The glasses looked very flat because he released them on a large piece of smooth tiles, so that it was as parallel as possible. However, Cheng Lin didn't know what Jing Wen planned to use for. If such thin glass was to be used as a carved ornament, this would obviously not work!

"Haha, madam, you will be optimistic later. I have my own ideas!" Jing Wen said.

Jing Wen naturally has his own ideas for these flat glasses, and of course they have their own purposes. If they are not useful, how can we make these flat glasses? These flat glasses are truly worth a lot of money! (Want to know more exciting news about "The King of Tang Dynasty"?
