"Immortal product?" Qi Ruyi's eyes were full of doubts, "Didn't I just say that we experts should not make nonsense. What's the mechanism behind it? Can't you just give it a good word?"
Wen Xiaoyun shrugged and smiled, "This kind of exclusive secret should not be disseminated to the outside world. Once outsiders copy it, it will not only be worthless, but it will also be a great sin to go back and do something that is harmful to nature.
"However, I am not afraid of being exposed at all. Even for colleagues like you who have superb business capabilities, I will not be stingy at all in hiding treasures. Do you know why?"
Qi Ruyi's eyes flashed.
Wen Xiaoyun is smart, a thief, a genius and a practical person. There is no way that such a person will be so confused by his own high hat that he will spit out all his special skills.
"It seems that you didn't want to tell me the truth from the beginning." Qi Ruyi's face tightened, and his expression was extremely serious.
Wen Xiaoyun shook her head, "You are not an ignorant person. Although you may not understand the meaning of the truth, with your ability, if I tell you a lie, I will definitely be able to see through it."
Qi Ruyi frowned fiercely.
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes became even more proud, "Do you still remember what I said before?"
"What?"
"My methods are more than four hundred years advanced than yours. No matter how powerful you are, you are still a person of this era. How can you understand my methods or even copy them?"
"You!" Qi Ruyi felt that she had been severely fooled. However, just when he opened his mouth to curse again, Wen Xiaoyun continued speaking in an orderly manner.
"It stands to reason that I should use the method used four hundred years later to create a batch of glass that is as transparent as if it does not exist from scratch. But after all, time is limited and material conditions are limited. Extracting the same material is too time-consuming.
So I asked Yang Zhituo to collect all the colored glazes he could collect, and invited the best glaze people to resmelt them according to my new formula. "
Qi Ruyi's face became paler and paler. Of course he understood that the Lican people Wen Xiaoyun mentioned were craftsmen who specialized in making colored glaze.
"What formula?" he asked coldly.
Wen Xiaoyun answered very generously: "The formula is unfamiliar to you. First, you need to choose borax without iron, and then add sodium carbonate and calcium oxide to the borax.
If the conditions are better, you can also add some lead oxide to make the final glass more translucent and easier to cut. But I can tell you the function.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can add a little magnesium oxide to make the glass produced better.
The firing process also has very high temperature requirements. I will not explain those terms to you one by one.
But maybe you can understand the last step. That is to stir and eliminate the bubbles in the glass solution, then pour it into a tin tank, and the glass solution will float on top and slowly shape into a thin and large piece of glass.
In this way, a piece of colorless glass with a crystal-like lens is ready.
The next step is to make a mirror that reflects far better than a bronze mirror.
First lay a thin piece of tin foil on the glass, and then run the mercury over it. Mercury can dissolve tin foil, producing a white surface that adheres firmly to the glass.
Finally, flip the glass over and you will see a mirror image exactly like the real person on the other side. That level of clarity is far beyond what ordinary bronze mirrors can match.
But just like what I just said, for a while, I didn’t have that much material and equipment to produce mirrors. It can only be modified using existing materials.
First of all, most colored glazes are colored, but the glass I want to make must be completely colorless and transparent. So the first step is to remove the color. Did you know that the colors on colored glaze can be roughly divided into two types of production methods?
One is to add minerals. For example, once the borax mentioned earlier contains iron, the final glass will be green.
To remove this green color, you need to add minerals that can offset the effect of iron.
Similarly, red and yellow colors also have minerals that can neutralize them and completely remove those colors.
The second way to color colored glaze is to dye the surface.
If you encounter this kind of colored glaze, then directly firing it at high temperature can remove the pigment on the surface.
Fortunately, the Liuli that Yang Zhituo found for me was all in the second situation. It virtually saved me a lot of things.
So I only re-smelted it, added relevant elements, improved transparency and toughness, and reacted the tin foil with mercury. In a very short period of time, I produced several such fairy mirrors.
I calculated the angle of my position on the fourth floor of the flower building in advance and placed several pieces of glass on the roofs of several houses opposite. When the torches were lit here and I appeared in white clothes, the mirrors were lifted up one after another. , I can appear in different places at the same time. "
Following Wen Xiaoyun's words, Qi Ruyi's brain was running rapidly.
He really wanted to say that everything Wen Xiaoyun said was lies.
But he had also briefly heard about the craftsmanship of Liuli, and everything he could understand was what Wen Xiaoyun said was correct. Even those things he didn't understand, his intuition told him they were right.
But he didn't want to give in easily.
He raised his head suddenly and stared straight at Wen Xiaoyun, "Words are not true, seeing is believing. If you don't show me, I won't believe you."
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes sharpened suddenly, "I won't show it to you now."
"Are you guilty?"
Wen Xiaoyun turned to look out the window with a faint look, "Those mirrors are helping Yinnuo annihilate the bandits in the city."
