Chapter 184 Making Glass
"The material for making glass is actually very simple. It's just the sand from our beach. After washing it and melting it, it will become transparent. We also have enough iron ore to make a long tube. We just need everyone's help."

Shi Nianqing explained the current situation to his friends, and they nodded.

"Sister Shi, just tell us what we should do. We will listen to you."

"Yes, yes, Qingqing, you just need to give us your orders, and we will absolutely obey you."

“They are right!”

The three friends nodded together, looking quite amused.

Shi Nianqing put the remaining ironware into a dry pot to melt it, and then used bamboo to make a simple iron tube container.

Pour the red-hot molten iron into it and soon make an iron pipe as long as an arm. A total of three were made.

Later, molten iron was used to connect the three iron pipes, which were about 1 meter long.

This ensures that you can blow air while working when making glass.

After doing all this, Shi Nianqing washed the sand collected from the beach, mixed it with the limestone and charcoal collected earlier, and put it in the crucible to burn.

As the temperature of the crucible gets higher and higher, the sand and limestone inside gradually mix together and become liquid like water.

As the three things mixed, the inside gradually began to burn. Looking from the outside, one could see that the liquid inside was slowly becoming transparent.

My red liquid looks very beautiful.

The camera in the live broadcast room broadcast all of this diligently.

After continuous firing, when the impurities in the liquid gradually disappeared, Shi Nianqing nodded in satisfaction.

Shi Nianqing stood by and pried open the upper layer of the furnace with a stick, revealing the red glass liquid inside.

Put the tube that has been prepared long ago into it, and the glass liquid will stick directly around the iron tube. Rotate it around and take it out.

Shi Nianqing blew air into it while shaping it with a tube.

The place that was previously used for making iron tools, where glass is placed on top and rotated to shape.

Soon, a lampshade that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom gradually took shape.

During the rest period, I saw that the glass was solidifying, so I put it back into the fire to bake.

After continuous adjustments, a beautiful lampshade is ready.

As the glass gradually cools down, it can be clearly seen that the transparency of the glass is actually not particularly high.

There are some tiny impurities in it that look like a black starry sky, which is inexplicably beautiful.

The little bubbles inside look like flying snowflakes, which are quite beautiful.

Shi Nianqing made several in succession, each one with a different style.

Although the quality of the glass is not very high, the glass products made by Shi Nianqing using his own method have a texture and look much better than those transparent industrial products.

When it was almost done, seeing that there was still a lot of glass liquid, Shi Nianqing made several vases.

The remaining glass liquid is used to make glass windows.

This is easy. Just make a flat surface with sand, pour the glass liquid into it, and then clean the sand after it solidifies.

One side is flat and the other side is uneven.

Although it is not transparent enough, it has a unique flavor when hung on the window.

Especially through the subtle contrast, the light is refracted into the room, which inexplicably creates a romantic atmosphere.

Shi Nianqing placed the solidified glass products in front of the camera in the live broadcast room for the audience to see.

A beautiful glass table lamp with unique patterns formed by impurities. It looks particularly beautiful.

The audience in the live broadcast room were simply stunned.

[To be honest, we do have glass products now, but they look completely different from what Sister Shi makes.]

"That's definitely different. Our glass is clear and very strong. It's a completely industrial product. What Sister Shi made is called a handicraft. It's a handicraft."

[It's so beautiful! Although the transparency is not enough, the glass products made are so beautiful.]

[Is there anyone who can make one like this? I feel like it would look really nice if I put it in my house.]

[It doesn’t seem that difficult, I’ll give it a try]

……

Glass materials can still be found in the interstellar age. The main thing is to imitate the ancient method of making glass. The impurities are uncontrollable, so the shapes made are strange and varied.

In addition, everyone's skills are different, so when the screen was flooded with failed glass products, no one was surprised at all.

From the moment the glass was completed, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room continued to rise.

Shi Nianqing quickly redeemed points during a period of high popularity, and even if it continued to grow later, the points were not much.

Put the candles you made earlier into the glass table lamp and light them. The red candlelight will pass through the glass table lamp and reflect a beautiful halo.

I feel inexplicably that it looks pretty.

It was night time now, and they placed the glass table lamp in the middle of the dining table. They sat in the yard, feeling the sea breeze blowing gently, while the candles inside were not affected.

The constantly dancing flames reflected beautiful light, inexplicably adding a sense of warmth to the yard.

Shi Nianqing looked at the flickering table lamp. After the candle inside burned, the melted wax fell onto the table lamp, which was not very convenient to watch.

He frowned and quickly thought of a solution.

I found a piece of bamboo and compared it with the base of the desk lamp. They look similar.

Leave the bamboo a little longer at the joints, then cut it directly and place it on the base.

Fix the candle on the base, and the melted wax will remain on the base. When the base is full of candles, you can pick it off.

Then melt it again and use it to make candles. It won't look dirty because there are too many candles on the glass lamp.

In this way, at night, in addition to the bonfire, candles can also bring light.

When eating in the evening, the candle placed in the middle illuminates the surroundings.

No need to eat early anymore.

After eating and drinking, the four people lay in the yard, with the dancing halo shining on them.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep on the recliner.

Watching them fall asleep, the little tiger who was originally playing climbed onto them skillfully and fell asleep beside them, snoring.

The two little balls lay on the big tiger's body, making small snoring sounds.

Big Tuanzi is no longer surprised by such scenes. At first, he was a little scared of the big tiger, but now he has gotten used to it and can ignore it.

He even took out a piece of bamboo and ate it, without even looking at the two upset children.

It can be clearly seen that the big dumpling is gradually developing horizontally.

Hehehe, today's list is finalized, 22nd place. As I promised everyone, I will add 2 chapters tomorrow.
