Chen Wanrong asked Li Longji to help find gall alum and graphite. With these two things, glass can be made. If Chen Wanrong hadn't participated in the Tubo War, this matter would have been settled long ago. Of course, the processing at that time was just to make money and to quantify the chemical industry. The processing now is to promote the arrival of the great era of science and technology.
Whether you are doing chemical engineering, medicine, or fertilizers, you have to analyze, you have to test, and you have to use glass. Once the glass is made and the corresponding reagents are made, these related industries will develop in a quantitative direction, which is a major event with far-reaching influence.
The word "baby" can no longer describe its importance!
Chen Wanrong¡¯s eyes shone. He looked carefully and saw that more than half of the room was filled with gall alum and graphite. Each item weighed at least several thousand kilograms, and was not far from ten thousand kilograms.
Li Longji really spared no effort. As soon as Chen Wanrong came back, he had bile alum and sulfuric acid, and things were done again.
"My little friend, is it really useful?" Ye Tianheng felt a little unconvinced.
Chen Wanrong was very sure: "It's not useful, but it has great uses. This is bile alum, which can make sulfuric acid. There are many ways to make sulfuric acid, but we can only extract it from bile alum at the moment. We will wait for the conditions in the future. When it¡¯s mature, we¡¯ll use other methods to make sulfuric acid.¡±
"General Chen, what is the use of this black thing?" Kou Yibing asked in confusion.
Chen Wanrong picked up a piece of graphite, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "This thing is also a treasure. With sulfuric acid, graphite can be processed. Once the graphite is processed, we can make glass-making crucibles and refractory bricks. .¡±
Although Kou Yibing and the others didn't understand what a crucible was, they were master masters and vaguely guessed it, and asked, "Why must we use graphite?"
Chen Wanrong explained: "One of the benefits of graphite is heat resistance. Making glass is very hot, maybe even hotter than making steel. Without graphite, the crucible will deform once it is burned. It can only be used once, but it will not work next time." Use it again.¡±
The temperature for making steel is also very high. However, our ancestors were very clever in using limestone to lower its temperature, which made it easier to make steel. The temperature required to make glass reaches 1,670 degrees, which is only higher than that of steel making.
The temperature for making steel is already very high, and the temperature for making glass is even higher. Ye Tianheng and the others shrank their lips. This heat-resistant equipment alone surprised them.
Ye Tianheng, who understood, smiled and said: "Little friend, you want these things just to make fire-resistant equipment?"
Chen Wanrong nodded and said: "Yes!"
Ye Tianheng patted his forehead and said with embarrassment: "I'm so embarrassed, old man. This graphite is so heat-resistant, I actually burned it with fire, no wonder it didn't change."
? Graphite can withstand high temperatures of 3,000 degrees, and ordinary flames can only reach a temperature of a few hundred degrees. How can we use graphite? Kou Yibing and the others were also involved in this matter and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and laughed endlessly.
Chen Wanrong explained to them how to extract sulfuric acid, how to process graphite, and how to make a crucible. These things were far beyond what Ye Tianheng and the others could imagine. They listened carefully and were surprised. Until Chen Wanrong finished speaking, everyone was surprised.
Ye Tianheng immediately came up with an idea and said: "Little friend, we can make this crucible. We need to process the graphite first."
"Yes!" When everyone heard Chen Wanrong explain the use of glass in detail, they felt itchy in their hearts and wanted to make it sooner. They were all overjoyed.
As long as they know the method, Chen Wanrong does not need to intervene in other matters. They will naturally know what to do. Liu Huaide arranged the manpower and began to refine sulfuric acid.
After arranging the sulfuric acid work, Ye Tianheng pulled Chen Wanrong and said: "My friend, it must be very troublesome to make this glass, right? We have to think carefully about where to do it and what kind of things we need. Okay. Okay, we can do it first so as not to mess up the situation later."
"Yes! General Chen, tell me, what are your requirements?" Kou Yibing strongly agreed with this.
Chen Wanrong pondered for a moment and said: "Glass is very useful, but with our current capabilities, it can only be used as a tool. The heating furnace is not difficult, just build one. The crucible can also be solved, these are not problems. The main thing is The problem lies in blowing. I want to make tools, and various models are indispensable. Also, where does this energy come from?"
What Chen Wanrong wants to do is vessels for analysis, not glass for construction. It is conceivable that if glass for construction is really made, it will be very popular and sell for a high price, which is not inferior to perfume and soap. However, there are more important aspects that require glass.
In the beginning, the Phoenicians used people to blow glass, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.??, fortunately it's us. If it were anyone else, we would definitely be in trouble. "Ye Tianheng said with great approval: "My little friend, among these people, this Gao Jian will definitely become a good worker and must be cultivated well. "
Gao Jian likes to delve into research. Chen Wanrong learned something and said with a smile: "That's right. Master Ye, you don't want to accept him as a disciple, do you?"
"Then why not?" The crutch in Ye Tianheng's hand kept moving on the ground.
Chen Wanrong patted the back of Ye Tianheng's hand: "Master Ye, we agreed, you can't hide your secrets, you have to tell everything, and you have to teach everything you have."
Kou Yibing attacked Ye Tianheng and said, "Brother Ye, stop wishful thinking. Do you know who Gao Jian has the best relationship with? Who does Gao Jian want to become his disciple the most? He only wants to become the Taoist priest."
After learning the whereabouts of Chen Wanrong, Sima Chengzhen did not follow him to rescue him. Is it possible that there are so many people who cannot be rescued? He came to the Ordnance Inspector to give a course.
Chen Wanrong was very interested and asked: "What did the Taoist Master say?"
"What else can there be? Of course it is a reaction, something like more oxygen that speeds up combustion. It sounds like alchemy is not like alchemy, but it is much better than alchemy." Liu Huaide touched his forehead and explained while thinking.
"That's chemistry!" Chen Wanrong answered in his mind.
Since Sima Chengzhen came to Chen Wanrong, he has learned a lot about chemistry. He was a famous alchemist, and his understanding of chemistry was much easier than ordinary people. Chen Wanrong understood it as soon as Chen Wanrong gave him some advice.
It can be said that in the Tang Dynasty, apart from Chen Wanrong, Sima Chengzhen knew the most about chemistry.
Chemistry was already very magical to the people of the Tang Dynasty. If Sima Chengzhen was explaining it and doing some small experiments at the same time, would the students have any reason not to smash their eyes on the ground?
Gao Jian is the most enthusiastic about these things, so why is it strange that he sticks to his boss Sima Chengzhen?
"I explained something to them and asked them to follow and see it. They were all as excited as crowing roosters." Ye Tianheng admired the enthusiasm of the students.
"Let's go, I'll go take a look at them too!" Chen Wanrong stood up and said, "I'm going back to Ning County this time, and I'll go to the county hall to recruit twenty students. I'll be there in two days."
Ye Tianheng punched Chen Wanrong on the shoulder: "Little friend, you really want to take advantage of everything wherever you go!"
When I came to the work place, I saw that there were many more people working today, and it was much more lively than before. The students were busy working with the masters from the Ordnance Supervision, and they were all excited and working hard.
It seems that they are really at ease here.
"Brother-in-law, you're back!" A familiar voice sounded, and then a big painted face appeared in front of him. It was none other than Zheng Wanru. Her fair face was dotted with black spots, and she could sing in Beijing without makeup.
??Looking at his body again, it was a patch of dust, mud, and dirty. It was completely different from the usual clean Zheng Wanru.
"Wan Ru, look at you like this, you are the dirtiest!" Chen Wanrong looked around.
"You work hard! My brother-in-law is in charge of the Ordnance Supervision, and I can't let others gossip!" Zheng Wanru's face was full of smiles. (To be continued.
