I do research in ancient times

Chapter 150

"It's not dug out, it's burned out in a kiln, just like burning coke before."

Liu Tie felt that he was stupid and probably didn't convey what Juzi meant, so he added another sentence.

"I heard that the houses in Jiuling Lake will also be decorated in the future. Everyone should have a share."

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd exploded instantly.

What? !Everyone has a share? !Use this crystal to make windows? !

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all felt that they probably heard it wrong.

Jizi should use this, what do they want this crystal window for, how much money will it cost the sect.

But this thing called "glass" looks nice.

It is clear and bright, and the sun can penetrate into the house when it is set on the window frame, and the airtightness is not bad. How warm would it be in winter?No more lighting up the house with the shutters closed!

Thirteen and Fourteen looked very envious, and stared at the shiny window without blinking, feeling that the cement room, which was not very luxurious, suddenly grew taller.

Mo Zongjuzi lived in an ordinary house with plaster and plaster, and didn't use any carved beams and painted buildings, precious wood, but when the sun shines through the windows on the household items in the house, the space instantly looks spacious and bright!

"very nice……"

Xiao Shisan murmured.

"I want a house like this too..."

"Brother Twelve, can we live here?"

Twelve Lang is also very greedy, but he has confidence in his little brother Fei.

The things made by Brother Xiaofei are rarely eaten by himself, and most of them are shared with relatives and friends around him.

He has such a good relationship with brother Fei, so he must be able to get into a glass room.

"I'm sure I can live there."

Younger Feng puffed up his chest and looked at the two younger brothers proudly.

"But you two...hehe, it's hard to say, after all Brother Xiao Fei is not your friend."

Twelve, Thirteen: ...

The birth of glass is enough to amaze the disciples of the Mo sect and all the outsiders. In the past few days, people have come to Juzi's house to watch. Glass has become a hot topic in Xinshijian.

But the handicraft black workshop run by Ning Sawzi did not stop there.

He is thinking about making mirrors.

Glass is a good thing, and once launched, it can be expected that there will be a huge market.

But the glass has to be sold nearby, and due to the current situation, transportation is a problem, and the current market that can operate is limited to the area actually controlled by the Feng family.

Ning Zaozi wanted to make money, but he didn't want to be a sheep of the Feng family.

Now that he has already formed an alliance with Brother Mu Ye, it would be unreasonable to spend too much money and supplies from others, and the most suitable targets are those rich and powerful families.

For example, the eight stars and eight arrows luxury grooming spree sold in the name of the Xihai merchant before, the main sales targets are not all the big fat sheep in the Central Plains!The aristocratic family is really a group of magical creatures, who value ostentation and face more than anything else. As long as the outer packaging gift box is upgraded to a luxurious one, and various contents are casually added with tricks, these fat sheep will eagerly spend money and compare wildly.Ning Sawzi, a customer who only buys expensive ones and not the right ones, likes it very much.

And the appearance of the mirror will definitely push this madness to the extreme.Just imagine, a silver mirror that is clear enough to fully reflect your real appearance is placed together with a blurry bronze mirror. Who can bear such a contrast? !

Even in the world where Ning Fei lives, Venice sent spies to Nuremberg in the 14th century to steal gold-plating techniques; and the lords of Nuremberg also turned against the Venetian glassmakers in the opposite direction. The spy war was only for a glass and silver mirror. The huge profits and business opportunities can be seen.

In particular, the glass mirror is epoch-making as a commodity, but it is very easy to transport, the unit price is expensive and does not take up the volume, so Ning Fei predicts that the birth of the mirror will be the next explosive point for Mo Zong to accumulate wealth.

Now is the time for Jiuling City to burn money, and it is too slow to cleanse the big gift bag. He needs money and supplies to fill the holes in Jiuling City.

After customizing a batch of test tubes, crucibles, beakers, and triangular flasks, Ning Zaozi's simple version of his personal laboratory officially opened.

Silver-plated mirrors require a silver mirror reaction. In addition to glass plates, the basic materials also need silver nitrate, ammonia water, glucose and potassium hydroxide.

Silver nitrate is relatively easy. It can be made by heating nitric acid left over from the preparation of gunpowder with silver powder. For glucose, potato starch prepared from food can be used. Under the condition of heating [-] degrees, the starch is hydrolyzed with dilute hydrochloric acid to form an aqueous solution of glucose.

The more difficult thing is ammonia water.

In fact, ammonia water should be a by-product of coking. After the water gas is desulfurized, the catalyst is used to remove carbon monoxide before treatment, which is simple, practical, efficient and economical.However, limited by the current technical conditions, it is very difficult to prepare ammonia water in an industrial system, so we have to find another way.

At this time, the Niubeishan mine map comes into play.

Ning Juzi noticed that there is a kind of Naosha widely in the mountainous area north of Xiaoling.This thing is not uncommon in border towns. Many pharmacies sell it. It is a natural medicine for external use.The main component of Naosha is ammonium chloride. Higher quality Naosha is white crystal, and the purity of ammonium chloride is very good.

Nathan sand and sodium hydroxide are mixed and heated to generate ammonia gas, which is collected and passed into water to form ammonia water.

In this way, all the materials for making the silver mirror can be obtained under the current technical conditions. After the firing of various test tubes, crucibles and flasks is completed, the next step is Ning Juzi's personal performance time.

Jizi entered the boy's room again, which was a big event in Mozong.

Everyone knows that the small dilapidated house is the place where miracles were born, and Jizi never comes out empty-handed every time he retreats.Whether it's the magic medicine for rescuing old man Liu, the soap that cleans the whole body, or the horizontal knife piercing the rainbow, any one of them is a good thing that is epoch-making, and it is as miraculous as the choice of the master in the ancestral hall.

As a result, the enthusiasm for glass temporarily receded, and the topic of "what is Juzi planning to make this time" quickly rushed to the headlines of Mozongwubao.Even the schoolchildren and textile workers in the school heard the news and enthusiastically participated in the discussion.

There is no other reason, the glass window before was too shocking, and Ning Juzi kept his word, and within a few days, the school room was replaced with shiny glass windows, and now the windows are closed during the day without affecting the sunlight, and in the evening, they can still enjoy the sunshine. The afterglow of the sun saved a lot of lamp oil.

The female workers now believe that as long as they can pass the future assessment, they will be able to live in such a dormitory in the future Jiuling City.The most excited person here is undoubtedly Qiongzhi from the old army's house.She is not a very smart person, but she is willing to work hard and spends her nights dreaming about how to operate the loom. She is very popular among the new weavers who came in.

Pinghua appreciates her very much, and sometimes she will give her an example. Qiongzhi is so grateful that she doesn't know what to say. This is the first time in her life that she has heard others praise her.Seeing many miraculous objects in Mozong, Qiongzhi feels that the sky is higher and the ground is wider, and she no longer thinks about the marriage that was snatched away by her sister, and is full of hope for the future.

Because of the high degree of attention, fiery gossip also reached Ning Zaozi's ears.Saozi thought about it for a while, and felt that this was a good opportunity to popularize science, so he simply ordered his two right-hand assistants, Liu Tie and Liu Tong, that he would make mirrors publicly in the school three days later, and anyone who was interested could come and watch.

As soon as these words came out, the whole Mo sect boiled again.

This is the first time since the seventh generation of Juzi took over the throne, he made his research public to everyone, which was impossible for the previous six generations of Juzi.

What Ji Zi wants to do is the top secret of Mo Zong. Even the three elders have no right to ask, let alone ordinary Mo Zong disciples, or even outsiders who have not even entered the Mo Zong sect.

As a result, many elders of Mozong began to worry, for fear that their own unique skills would be seen through by outsiders.When eating in the dining room at night, they wanted to recommend old man Liu to be a lobbyist, and persuade Jizi to consider the interests of the sect and not to spread the secret lightly.

"What do you say? What do I say? That Juzi can use the things he wants to use. Why do people on both sides of us have to criticize?"

Old man Liu slapped the table, his eyes widened.

"I think you are going back as you live, and you don't know how much you are worth!"

"You can't say that."

One of the old blacksmiths whispered.

"The former Juzi never did anything in front of outsiders. Didn't they all pick the elites of the sect when they were Tianhuolei?!"

As soon as he heard the words "Heaven Fire Thunder", Old Man Liu's eyelids started to twitch wildly.

He didn't forget that he was rescued by this thing.

Who would have thought that the dangerous thing that killed six generations of Juzi and dozens of disciples could bring him back to life.

"Can that be the same?"

Old man Liu swallowed.

"Tianhuolei is a blueprint left by a sage. It is a secret map shared by our sect. The mirror to be made tomorrow was researched by Jizi himself. Why do you take other people's things as your own?"

"But we don't know if the mirror is the secret map of the sect!"

Another old man said.He blushed when he said this.But when people get old, they want to leave something for their children and grandchildren. Seeing that the sect is gradually developing because of these treasures, he doesn't want outsiders to get involved.

Among other things, what are those who come to take classes?He is not a disciple of Mozong, how can he teach casually? !

"You're wrong about that."

Yu Lao sat at this table with a plate.

He greeted old man Liu first, and then looked at the two old men opposite.

"The secret map of the sect left by the sage has not yet been created, and the rest are on the bamboo slips in the library. There is nothing we can't know."

"The cement, steel, kang glass, soap, and the mirror that Jizi will make tomorrow are all researched by Jizi himself, and have nothing to do with saints or sects!"

"Ning Juzi, my old Yutou has seen a person with great wisdom in his life. His thinking surpasses all people in the world. He even said a rebellious word, he is more intelligent than a saint!"

"If you listen to my advice, keep your eyes wide open tomorrow to see the miraculous tricks Juzi used, and you won't regret it if you bury it in the ground. Don't mention the secret map of the sect in the future. We Mozong didn't hold it. The bad habit of confiscating other people's things makes me blush for you."

When he said this, the two old men were embarrassed, their faces turned blue and white, and they became very irritable.

But after this came out, many people became more and more curious about the mirror that Ning Zaozi wanted to "make".

Especially those who come to Mozong to study, who have never seen such a god like glass, they all look forward to tomorrow's arrival soon, so that they can be full of Mozong's fairy tricks.

Many people stayed up in the middle of the night and ran to the school as the exhibition site to occupy their seats.

Twelve Lang was one of them, and he was dragging his second and third cousins. The three young boys were sitting in the first row of the school hall, neatly dozing off.

When the cousins ​​came over, they still complained quite a bit, saying that they have a lot of things like mirrors, so why do they have to come to Mozong to see them.

As the elder brother, Twelve Lang severely scolded the two "ignorant" cousins.

Brother Xiaofei said to make a mirror, can it be an ordinary mirror?Most of them are photos, demons and mirrors that can see through yin and yang!

When I opened my eyes again, there were already people sitting around me.All the free people from Mozong came, and the not-so-big auditorium was packed to the brim. Many young ladies in the crowd were watching with their feet up, their attitudes were dignified and generous, but no one was paying attention.

At noon, Ning Juzi's first public experimental display was about to begin.
