I was a village chief in a primitive society

Chapter 324: Prepare to make glass. (2 more, please customize)

After Su Bai made a simple balance scale, he began to study the stones.

He held a stone in his hand and murmured to himself:"The main raw material of glass is also silica sand, but I haven't seen it here yet."

Su Bai was holding a glass making book in his hand, which also had silica sand drawn on it. Patterns also work.

He blinked his black eyes and muttered in his mind:"Where there are crystals, there is silica sand, and crystals can be found in weathered granite terrain, and that terrain will also have the materials needed to make glass.---Silica sand."

If it weren't for this glass making book, he wouldn't know so much knowledge. He already has enough knowledge in his mind.

It's amazing to know how to make cement and other things. He really has nothing to do about glass. Without this book, he would really be helpless.

"Where is the weathered granite terrain here? It seems that I haven't seen it in the forest last time."Su Bai was in distress at the raw material step.

Without raw materials, glass cannot be made, and silica sand is the most basic raw material for making glass. This is indispensable.

Silica sand is a kind of transparent particles, one by one. are also easy to distinguish, they are everywhere in the weathered granite terrain.

"As long as you find silica sand, everything will be easy, including calcium carbonate and galena."Su Bai Nannan said.

Many materials in the glass making book can be found in the wooden box, but the only thing that can't be found is the silica sand used to make glass.

"Xiaoyu, do you know where this thing is?"Su Bai showed the picture of silica sand to Fox Ear Girl.

After all, they are more familiar with the area around the ancestral land. They know best if they ask about the terrain nearby.

Yu Ying looked at the patterns in the book carefully and said:"I remember there was a hillside not far from here, and there was probably this kind of stone there."

The fox-eared girl and the horned girl had sneaked out to play before, and had also been to that open space. She had seen this kind of sand in her memory.

When they were children, they didn't understand it. At that time, they thought it was The sand she planted was very beautiful, and she brought some back to the tribe to play with.

Now that she sees the patterns in the book, they are very similar to the sand she saw at that time. Because this kind of sand is very special, she remembers it more clearly.

"Great, take me there, I need these things."Su Bai showed a smile.

As long as we have these things, it would be the best. There is hope for making glass.

"good."Yu Ying nodded.

"Tap tap tap......"

Su Bai had someone prepare some stone hoes and baskets, and with a group of people, he left the tribe and walked towards the hillside.

More than an hour later, everyone arrived at the bottom of the hillside. It was said to be a hillside, but in fact it was very big, with a height of more than 20 meters. The width could not be measured with the naked eye.

"Witch, this is it."Yu Ying looked up at the hill.

"Is this called a hillside? Is this a mountain?"Su Bai's mouth twitched a few times.

Yu Ying scratched her head and said with a smile:"Witch, where is the sand you mentioned? Yanhua shook the stone hoe in her hand and shouted enthusiastically:"Witch, where do we start?""

When Niujiao Niang heard that she was going to collect something, she was so excited that she immediately followed her. The last time she collected iron sand from the river, it made Niujiao Niang happy for a while, and now she is here on the mountain. How could he miss collecting things?

Su Bai squatted down, picked up a stone hoe, and knocked on a piece of land, and found that the sand inside was the silica sand he wanted.

He stood up, clapped his hands, and said with a smile:"You can start anywhere. , it’s everywhere"

"yes."Yanhua immediately started working hard. He lowered his body with the basket and started tapping the ground with a stone hoe.

Sha Lan and the other preparatory soldiers did the same. They took the stone hoe and started pounding the wall and the ground.

"Bang bang bang......"

As the beating sound continued, handfuls of silica sand were put into the basket.

"There are a lot of white particles. Are these the silica sand used to make glass?"Yanhua said excitedly.

Although Niujiao Niang was very excited and talked a lot, she didn't stop tapping on her hands.

"These are different from the sand you usually see. They are probably used for making glass." Sha Lan responded.

Cat-eared girl's basket was already filled with more than half of the basket of silica sand. There was a lot of silica sand where she was.

As long as the stone has been knocked, you can see handfuls of silica sand. , the sand was put into the basket as if it was free of charge.

For more than an hour, everyone collected a lot of silica sand, turned around and prepared to go back to the tribe.

"Tap tap tap......"

"Wu, after digging so much silica sand, can we start making glass? Yanhua asked curiously.

When Niujiao Niang heard that she wanted to make glass, she was a little confused because she didn't know what glass was.

So now she is particularly curious and wants to see what this glass looks like..

And because every time Wu He wanted to make something, the ones he made were very good. It was precisely because of this that Yanhua's curiosity was deepened.

"Well, now that we have the materials, we can make glass when we go back."Su Bai nodded lightly.

To be honest, he himself was looking forward to making glass. If nothing else, it was a great thing to be able to make glass in primitive times.

"I don’t know what the glass looks like."Yanhua asked curiously

"Transparent and colorless, you can see what's in front of you even if the glass is in front of you."Su Bai could only give a simple and crude explanation.

And this explanation is also the most reasonable. Glass is inherently transparent and cannot block the line of sight, otherwise it would not be used as glass.

"Is it so magical?"Yanhua looked expectant.

After hearing this, Niujiao Niang's curiosity became even higher. She wanted to see such a magical thing right away.

"Wu, what is this thing going to be used for?"Sha Lan is still curious about what glass can be used for.

"It can be installed on the window frame, so that the indoor lighting will be very good, and you can also see the outside from the indoor."Su Bai explained simply.

"Is it the spaces reserved on the walls of those cement houses?" Sha Lan asked tentatively.

Because she didn't know what those spaces were used for. She only knew that the reserved space was not small.

"Well, it is installed there. With the window, there is no need to light the oil lamp during the day."Su Bai said softly.

Nowadays, there are some fruit oil lamps in the tribe during the day, because the wooden house does not have reserved windows, so light cannot come in during the day..........................................
