Three Kingdoms: Starting War Strategy System
Chapter 52
Liu Chen was a little happy.
He immediately followed the forging officials to the place where the glass was fired, which was already filled with hundreds of glass vessels.
In the few days since Zhao Yun left Changshan, the glassware had actually been made. But either the quality is not up to standard or the transparency is not good enough.
After many days of hard work, the glassware that Liu Chen was looking forward to and satisfied with finally appeared in front of him.
Liu Chen reached out and picked up a glass. The transparency was still far behind that of later generations, but it was not far behind.
"Has it been tested? Liu Chen asked.
The official of the Forging Institute nodded in surprise and said:"It is indeed as His Highness said, it is strong and durable and will not explode when exposed to heat. It is much better than colored glaze.""
"very good."
Liu Chen nodded with satisfaction and said:"You continue to make glass bottles and jars, eating utensils, glass instruments and other daily necessities.
"These can be used to sell and make money, popularize the people, conduct chemical experiments in schools, and at the same time exercise your production process proficiency.
"I will let you make more sophisticated items later."
The glass thermometers that Liu Chen needs to measure temperature can be made from glass.
However, the required process requirements are extremely high, and these novices still need to continue to temper themselves.
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
The officials of the Forging Institute were also surprised when they looked at the transparent glassware.
The same was true for many officials around them.
With glassware, people's daily lives will be drastically changed, and their lives will become happier.
At the same time , They were once again shocked by Liu Chen's erudition. The recipes were all simple and even involved the firing of ceramics.
Unfortunately, after thousands of years, no one had come up with this step, and only Liu Chen had done it.
But compared to Although they were shocked at the beginning, they soon felt relieved. After all, after getting along for a long time, they were shocked to the point of numbness and became accustomed to it!
At this moment
"Your Highness, all the distilled wine has been distilled. Liu
Chen immediately put down the glassware and followed the officials to the wine house with a look of joy on his face. It was filled with stills needed for distilling wine.
There were also many bottles and jars.
An official immediately came forward to explain:"Your Highness, these are They are all filled with distilled liquor, from low to high, which is the difference between less and more distillations."
"Come and invite Hua Tuo and other doctors."
Liu Chen had some joy on his face, but he immediately sent someone to ask for Hua Tuo and other miracle doctors. This made everyone a little confused, but they did not question it.
Soon, Hua Tuo and other doctors from the medical school appeared at the forging. In the liquor brewing room of the courtyard, there were also people such as Ju Shou, Tian Feng and Guo Jia.
These people were all people who loved wine, especially Guo Jia, who was addicted to alcohol. He sniffed the smell of alcohol in the air and drank one by one. As smart as chicken blood
"Rich and mellow, this wine is very good!"
Guo Jia exclaimed in admiration, his eyes shining brightly.
Liu Chen shook his head helplessly, but he didn't care. He was about to test the alcohol concentration in front of them. But Hua Tuo's words suddenly reminded Liu Chen of something
"Chief Guo, your health is getting worse and worse, and you need to strictly control your alcohol consumption and content."Hua Tuo said alertly.
"Just a small problem.
Guo Jia didn't care much,"You can recover in a short time. How can a man be without wine?""
"Is Fengxiao feeling ill? Liu Chen asked with a frown.
As a time traveler, he naturally knew that Guo Jiaying died young. Since Guo Jiaying was his master, Liu Chen naturally wanted to change this bad luck.
Hua Tuo quickly explained, and Liu Chen suddenly realized No matter how good Changshan's medical conditions are, they can't stop Guo Jia from being obsessed with wine. Others drink wine to taste, but Guo Jia drinks it as water.
This manifestation is alcoholism, followed by excessive indulgence, which ultimately leads to physical depletion and reduced immunity. , allowing the disease to invade the body.
Historically, Guo Jia's death coincided with Cao Cao's crusade against Wuhuan. The poor environment and poor medical care outside the Great Wall, coupled with Guo Jia's weak constitution, made him unable to get sick. This eventually led to his untimely death.
Liu Chen gave a serious order:
"Fengxiao, starting from today, you must abstain from alcohol and sex, and you can only taste it after Doctor Hua confirms that you have fully recovered."
"ah?! Guo
Jia was completely confused:"My lord, you said that men are lustful and heroic, why do you want me to give up sex and alcohol again?""
"That was when you were in good health. Now that you are not in good health, you must strictly prohibit it."
Liu Chen said seriously:"Gongyu, please arrange for someone to supervise Fengxiao and don't let him take any chances.
Jushou cupped his hands and said with a smile:"I obey my orders!""
Hua Tuo stroked his long beard, and his face was full of relief. He still cared about his patients.
Guo Jia had a lifeless expression, as if he was mourning for an heir! Liu Chen ignored it, let alone softened his heart, and looked around People around said:"Start testing the alcohol concentration!"
"yes."
Many subordinate officials immediately became busy.
In this era without alcohol meters, the testing methods used by Liu Chen were: shaking test, burning test and other methods.
Officials immediately came forward to test.
The first step was to look at the hops..
Usually when you pour wine into a bowl, dense blisters will appear, which are hops.
The size of hops is related to the concentration of alcohol. The higher the alcohol concentration, the greater the tension on the surface of the wine, and the more hops formed on the surface of the liquid. The larger the size, the faster the hops disperse.
On the contrary, the smaller the surface tension of the wine liquid, the smaller the hops formed on the liquid surface, and the slower the hops disperse.
Observe the uniformity of the size of the hops in the bowl and the length of time to determine the alcohol Ingredient content.
Generally speaking, if the hops are kept for about 15 seconds, the degree of the wine is about 50-55 degrees. If the hops are kept for about 7 seconds, the degree of the wine is 55-60 degrees.
If it can only be kept for 3 seconds, then the alcohol content The degree is about 65.
Naturally, this can only be an approximate value.
Then there is the second step of the combustion test.
The degree of alcohol refers to the volume percentage of ethanol contained in the wine.
For example, 50-degree wine means that in 100ml of wine , containing 50ml of ethanol content. 70-degree wine means that 100ml of wine contains 70ml of ethanol content. The flash point of alcohol is about 12 degrees, and this concentration can be ignited.
Then by observing the burning and extinguishing, how much water remains, The content of the alcohol can be determined.
At this time, you need to use glass instruments to accurately calculate the volume of alcohol through precise scales.
Just the newly fired glass can come in handy.
Of course.
Because combustion will cause the water to evaporate , affected by external temperature and other factors, this method is also not 100% accurate.
Moreover, the accuracy of the scale of the glass instrument is really not flattering.
It can only get an approximate value.
However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, an approximate value can be obtained for use. It’s already very rare!
After a series of operations, Liu Chen finally obtained these distilled alcohol concentrations.
"Alcohol of 25 to 50 degrees can be used for physical cooling of patients. Generally speaking, around 30 degrees is the optimal concentration."
"You remember the alcohol with this degree, the number of distillations required and the characteristics. Of course, after the next distillation, you still need to test as before."
Liu Chen's explanation finally made everyone suddenly realize.
No wonder Liu Chen asked Hua Tuo and other miracle doctors to come over. It turned out that he wanted to apply it to medicine.
"Your Highness, may I ask, what is physical cooling?"Hua Tuo and other doctors discussed each other, and then asked in confusion.
Liu Chen explained lightly:
"Just like when a patient has a fever and you put a wrung-out wet towel on their forehead, alcohol can be used in the same way.
"Wiping the skin with alcohol can dilate the blood vessels of the patient's skin and increase the heat dissipation capacity of the skin. The alcohol evaporates and absorbs heat, lowering the patient's surface temperature.
"Of course, it is best to let his family members do these things for him."
Hua Tuo and other miracle doctors suddenly realized this, and they were all shocked!
"Your Highness is so knowledgeable! We didn’t even think of such wonderful uses."
"The main reason is that the previous alcohol concentration was not enough, and rice wine may cause more trouble to the body, leading to aggravation of symptoms."
"Your Highness is wise and mighty!"
Many doctors praised Liu Chen one after another.
Guo Jia, on the other hand, was amazed, with a look of regret on his face:"Such a fine wine can be used to reduce fever, what a waste!"
Everyone ignored him and Liu Chen continued to explain;"40% to 50% alcohol can prevent ulcers. 70% to 75% alcohol is used for disinfection……"
Liu Chen specifically explained the importance of alcohol disinfection, and Hua Tuo and other doctors agreed with it.
Before performing surgical operations, they would also burn the knife with a flame. To use Liu Chen’s professional terminology: it’s sterilization!
"Remember, wash your hands frequently and disinfect frequently. The use of soap and alcohol is to avoid the risk of infection. Liu Chen warned.
Hua Tuo and other doctors bowed their hands and saluted:"I know this!""
"Ahem……"
Jushou coughed dryly and asked:"Your Highness, um, can you give us a taste of the newly brewed distilled wine?"
These high-strength wines are definitely the best wines they have never tasted.
Liu Chen pointed to the wine below 20 degrees and said:"You can taste these for a while, but it is best to store them for a period of time first.""
"The subordinates understand."
Jushou, Tian Feng and others couldn't wait to taste the distilled wine.
Guo Jia's index finger moved when he saw it, but unfortunately Liu Chen strictly prohibited him from doing so, which made him look hopeless.
Jushou and Tian Feng, again Guo Jia was looking at it while shaking his head while tasting, and his face was full of depression and displeasure.
