In the beast world, I got rich and became the favorite of the group

Chapter 192 The Favorite Dashi Fortress + Manufacturing Glass (4000 words)
As soon as the weather improved, the industrious orcs couldn't stay idle, and started a series of work one after another.

——Repair your own vegetable garden, build the remaining water pipes, and build a series of large-scale buildings such as the castle and the Colosseum that An Jin ordered!

As for the reconstruction of Yuelang City, An Jin left it to Ling Hong to handle it.

With the precedent and experience of Jushou City's successful reconstruction, she is still very assured of his leadership.

The design of the castle and the giant beast city is handled by An Jin herself, and large-scale buildings like the city are usually supervised by her personally.

——Strive for perfection and be meticulous.

The first windy season is gentle and comfortable. The blowing wind sweeps away the remaining coolness left by the cold season, bringing a vibrant green and vitality. Birds and insects linger in the ears, making people feel comfortable unconsciously.

At noon, the weather started to get hot again. The temperature in the animal world changed dramatically, and the speed was outrageous. It was clear that it was still snowing a few days ago.

While squatting in the shade of a tree to oversee the work, An Jin stretched out his hand and couldn't help fanning himself, his sleeves and trouser legs rolled up.

Mi Yin completely transformed into a beast shape and surrounded her into a ball, put the snake tail under her buttocks, once again got the identity and function of her "mat".

"Wait, stop first." An Jin shouted to the orcs who were building stones on the high wall not far away.

Immediately, an orc leader jumped off the wall neatly.

He came to her in a few big strides, lowered his head, and looked at her uneasily, "My lord...is there something wrong with our construction of the stone castle? Hmph, it must be because some orcs were lazy when laying the foundation, and accidentally Wrong size!"

"The foundation is fine, the problem is the windows."

An Jin pointed to the design drawing made of animal skin paper in his hand, "Open it, and take a good look at the window you built. How is it different from the window on my design drawing?"

"Uh, it seems to be too small." The orc opened the blueprint according to his words, waited and watched for a while, and then said hesitantly.

"Yes, it's too small." What An Jin wanted was bright and bright French windows, not this kind of small windows.

Due to the harsh environment and limited manufacturing conditions, the standard for orcs to build residential houses is usually that the walls are as thick as possible, and basically there are no windows.

Even if there is a window, it is just a small window for lighting, which is almost for decoration and has no effect.

But living in such a house for a long time, the environment in the house will be very humid and hot. If the cleaning is not in place, it is easy to breed bacteria and other microorganisms——

The most important thing is that the wife and wife of the lighting are poor!
Even though she has been working in the Beast House for so many years and changed houses two or three times during the period, An Jin can't help but want to complain about this problem.

Every time the door was closed, the room seemed to turn into night in an instant, and she couldn't see her fingers. She could easily bump into the wall and the table at every turn.

Most orcs like Ling Hong and the others have night vision and can not be troubled by darkness, but she can't, she can really be "blind".

Although the spiritual power can also help her explore things in the dark since she activated it, it takes a lot of energy to activate and use it every time, and she often feels exhausted and sleepy.

So except for some big events, An Jin will not use mental power for a long time.

In this way, she doesn't need anything else, but the lighting in the house is required!Shall!good!

Her ideal is to be a big floor-to-ceiling window as tall as a person.

Thinking about it, when she is tired from work every day, she happily sits in the several-storey stone castle. Through the large French windows, she can still take a look at the primitive and rough natural scenery outside and the working conditions of the orcs.

The sense of sight that overlooks everything like a king is simply not too good.

"So the window needs to be enlarged, and it should be done exactly according to my drawing, you understand?"

The orc nodded hurriedly, but just turned around and took two steps, then quickly turned back, "My lord, if we want to make such a large window, we don't have enough covering materials..."

An Jin subconsciously opened her mouth to say "glass window", but in the next second she bit her tongue forcefully. She almost forgot that glass has not yet been invented in today's animal world.

The windows were previously blocked by the wings of some insects. The insects in the beast world are all ridiculously large. Some giant insects have transparent wings with beautiful patterns, which are perfect for use as glass.

However, no matter how big the insect is, it is difficult to reach the size of the floor-to-ceiling window. In this way, is she going to live in a room with air leakage?
"We make glass!"

she exclaimed.

"Bo, glass?" The orc scratched his head again, and lost several hairs, what should we do?I can no longer understand what the city lord is saying.

"Hiss~?" Mi Yin also raised her head to look at her suspiciously, put her head on her shoulder, and vomited a snake letter.

An Jin smiled at one person and one snake, "This thing is like the insect wings we used to block the windows before, but it is bigger and more transparent. Well, you will know when it is made!"

After eating a lot of sweets, every time her whimsy and fantasies are quickly accepted by the orcs, they turned around and put into production and manufacturing according to her instructions.

The orc couldn't help but squeeze the blueprint in his hands tightly, fearing that it might break it, he quickly eased his grip, "Sir City Master, just speak up! What should we do next, and what materials should we find?"

Several orcs jumped down from the wall and surrounded them one after another, eager to try.

Glass is a silicate non-metallic material fired from inorganic minerals in nature. Generally speaking, it is fired from sand such as quartz sand, which is similar to the production of ceramics.

Since the orcs were able to successfully burn ceramics, it would not be too difficult to get glass.

The quartz sand used for burning glass has a very high melting point, and soda can lower the melting point, so the production of glass is usually mixed and fired with soda and quartz sand according to a certain proportion, and then solidified and fixed.

Both soda and quartz sand occur naturally in nature.

As long as she can find the two and let them meet by chance, won't there be glass?

What she lacks most now is manpower to search for resources.

There are tens of thousands of orcs in several cities, and within half a month, they have found all the materials she needs.

So not long after, a new member was added next to the iron smelter and pottery kiln—the glass kiln.

The vigorous glass firing kicked off.

An Jin has great expectations for the firing of glass.

Human beings in the modern world have long been familiar with the glass that can be seen everywhere around them, but ignore its great contribution to the development of human civilization.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the vast history of thousands of years of human civilization, the invention of glass has brought a huge turning point for human civilization and is the engine of human civilization history!
If glass can be successfully produced, it will have an immeasurable and far-reaching impact on today's animal world civilization.

Convenient glass has both advantages and disadvantages. For example, although glass is very hard, it is very brittle. It is a brittle material, and sometimes it will break due to uneven heating.

If some little cub who likes to run around accidentally steps on glass shards...

Must cry very sadly.

So An Jin went through a lot of various materials recorded in the system literature, and finally locked on a kind of ore, and sent the orcs out to find it.

As long as you add a little of this rare ore to the quartz sand, and then burn it, the fired glass will be hard and elastic, hard to break, and even if it breaks, it will not produce sharp edges and corners, similar to the glass commonly used in modern buildings. tempered glass.

After eliminating all risks, An Jin arranged the glass firing project rigorously and perfectly. Under her guidance, the subsequent firing work also proceeded extremely smoothly.

——The molten glass leaves the kiln and is flattened with a stone roller. The liquid glass exposed to the air will solidify and soften quickly. After entering the temperature control area, it will continue to cool and be artificially cut into the desired size...

A large area of ​​qualified smooth glass stacked together.

A lot of orcs gathered outside the glass kiln to watch the excitement, much more than when the kiln was fired and iron was smelted.

Seeing glass pieces that they had never seen before appearing in front of their eyes, the eyes of these orcs went straight.

They rubbed their eyes one after another, looked at each other in disbelief, "This, this is the glass... glass that the patriarch said? It's actually transparent and colorless..."

Looking at it from a distance, a piece of glass is spread out on the ground, so transparent that there are almost no impurities, as if there is nothing.

They almost stepped on it.

Some naughty cubs even went up to step on it. This seemingly fragile glass is actually very strong, as hard as a large thin stone slab.

If this kind of "glass" is really used as a window...they will have a bright and warm big house.

Try to think about it, when they wake up every day, the clear and warm sunlight falls on their faces, waking them up gently.

The first thing they saw was their lover's peaceful sleeping face, the bright sunshine, the lush green forest and birds and animals outside the large window... instead of a cramped space that was so dark that it didn't matter day or night!

At this moment, these orcs, who were still wondering what to do, finally understood what An Jin said to them about the beautiful dreams before.

……

The firing of the first batch of glass went smoothly beyond An Jin's expectations.

The quality of the finished product is also very good. Although there are still some small flaws, it is really rare to produce such a finished product under such backward conditions.

The first batch is still a test product, no more, no less, exactly 1 pieces of flat glass measuring 10 meters by 1.5 meters.

The excess glass cut off at the edge is broken into slag for secondary recycling and firing.

An Jin also sent dozens of ingenious orcs to the glass kiln.

In the following time, the orcs lived up to expectations and fired a lot of good-quality glass.

And as the orcs accumulate experience and craftsmanship, the flaws on the glass are gradually reduced and gradually become perfect.

Part of the glass produced was used to build houses, and the rest was shipped to the city for sale. Undoubtedly, another sales frenzy exploded.

Many nearby, distant, and even large cities that have never been heard of on other continents come here for trade. It is often hard to find a piece of "glass", and every batch of new glass will be robbed by people.

The gold coins in An Jin's personal account are also increasing day by day.

She also specially set up a notification sound for the gold coins to be credited to the account. From time to time, there will be a sound of gold coins flowing, and there is a sentence "Your account has been credited** gold coins!", which doesn't sound too good.

She kept half of the gold coin in the account as a backup, and she exchanged the other half for a crystal nucleus, which has other great uses.

……

The construction of the beast farm is already halfway through, and the construction of the stone castle has been completed.

Towards the end of the windy season, An Jin and his family packed their bags and finally successfully moved into the brand new "City Lord's Stone Castle"!
The design of the stone castle is in the shape of a spire in general, with a total of 5 floors, which become narrower as it goes up. The whole body design is more inclined to aesthetics and solidity, which not only has aesthetic effects, but also strives for mechanical stability.

The lowest floor is divided into three large rooms, with a total area of ​​several hundred square meters, which are used as a conference hall for reception.

The top floor is less than 80 square meters and is used as a storage room.

The middle three floors can be lived casually, depending on one's own preferences.

An Jin temporarily designated the second floor as a dining room and kitchen, and then chose a room with the best lighting on the third floor as a bedroom.

Ling Hong and Mi Yin closely followed her to choose a room, one left and one right.

Xi ran out of rooms, so she had to go to the 4th floor and choose a random room, which happened to be the one above her room.

The little shark was very sad in his heart, he was suffering but he couldn't express it, it seemed that he would run up and down diligently in the future.

The first thing to do when moving into the castle——

Ling Hong was anxious to see his beloved small kitchen.

Mi Yin went to her room to familiarize herself with the surroundings.

Xi began to move buckets back and forth to his room, and the 4 flights of stairs pushed him up to his waist, blushing and gasping for breath.

In such a comparison, An Jin was more relaxed. She stood in front of the bright and spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, closed her eyes, stretched her arms, and the bright sunlight fell on her body in every detail, outlining a dazzling golden border.

It feels so comfortable to be illuminated by the warm light all over.

"Huh..." She sighed, opened her eyes, walked to the window, put her hands on the cool and delicate glass window, and looked into the distance.

A circle of stone guardrails was carefully surrounded outside the window. The third floor was almost 10 meters long, and she could take in most of the surrounding scenery at a glance.

After admiring the scene outside the window, the midday sun was too glaring, so she closed half of the curtains.

Went to the desk and sat down.

That's right, her room is big enough to be divided into two parts by her.

One half is a bedroom for rest, and the other half is a study for work.

The floor of the room is covered with a carpet as soft and white as a white cloud, without leaving a single gap, and the corners of the table and stools are also carefully wrapped to prevent accidental scratches.

The tall and clean stone walls are inlaid with various gemstones that emit shimmering light. They not only have a decorative effect, but also emit colorful and beautiful light like the starry sky at night.

There are also "lamps" hanging from the ceiling, which are a few fist-sized night pearls that Xi gave her, and they have been treasured since he was a child.

After reading the book for a while, feeling a little tired, An Jin lay on her back on the big and soft bed.

In an instant, half of her body was sunken between the soft silk quilt, her seaweed-like black hair was scattered, and her arms were lazily resting on her forehead.

how to say?An Jin is so satisfied now that he can almost fly. The private villa is simply not that satisfying.

She almost thought that the past few years in the beast world were just a dream, but when she woke up, she woke up in her seaside villa.
