Yinreng: Glass Recipe GET√

Chapter 4

Yinreng put the drawings into his system backpack, feeling very happy.

In fact, there is a ready-made reward to be taken. He doesn't need to make such an effort. He wasted more than half an hour and was exhausted. Isn't this just a waste of time? If he wants to exchange for rewards, he can choose something else. For example, soap, or glass. No matter which one, it seems to be more valuable than the fat otaku's happy water.

But Yinreng did not do so. It was not that he did not want to, but that he did not dare. Firstly, he was still wary of the system. After all, there were a lot of systems in the online novels of his previous life, some good and some bad. Who knew which one he encountered?

Looking down at the dismantled clock on the ground, Yinreng's expression flickered. The clock face was made of glass. The system kept saying that you can make a clock with the blueprint, but it didn't mention glass at all. It can be seen that it has its own little ideas. It is a chain of links, trying to push me to keep taking tasks.

From its lobbying for him to do the task these days, it can be seen that he will be rewarded for completing the task, and it will also benefit him. It's not that Yinreng can't accept its selfishness. Just based on the scientific and technological database owned by the system, he is willing to cooperate with it for mutual benefit. But the premise is that it has no bad intentions and will not hurt him.

Until he was completely sure of this, Yinreng felt that he had to be on guard.

Second, taking shortcuts too often can easily lead to laziness. He is afraid that after tasting the sweetness, he will become overly dependent on the system and thus be controlled by the system.

Therefore, he still wants to complete what he can do by himself, but there are some things he really can't do.

For example, glass, □□...

This is almost a must-have invention for time travelers. Unfortunately, he only knows a little about the materials needed for glass, not to mention the specific composition ratio and production sequence.

Seeing him squatting on the ground and staring at the clock face in a daze, the system forgot that it was still doubting Tongsheng just now, and immediately became energetic again.

[Little Prince! Just having the blueprint of a clock is not enough! To make a complete clock, you need glass! I know that the Qing Dynasty has made its own glass. But most of them are colored. For colorless transparent glass, the success rate of production is low and the waste rate is high.]

[Therefore, the cost of this type of glass remains high, and luck is still required. The reason for this is that the current quenching technology is limited and it is impossible to completely remove elements such as iron and manganese in the glass.]

[So it is easy to add these metal elements to make the glass appear red, yellow, or green, but it is difficult to get transparent pure glass. This kind of colored glass is more often called colored glaze. Glass refers to a transparent body without any impurities.]

[The second reason is the formula. For example, the earliest glass was potassium-calcium silicate glass, and high-lead barium silicate glass appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period. Their formulas are different. Glass obtained from different formulas has different colors and textures.]

[Little Prince! I can give you a glass recipe that has been improved many times. It is the most compatible with the current production technology level of your Qing Dynasty and can easily produce transparent glass.]

[In addition, we can also add a solvent to reduce the production technology of glass; or add lead oxide to make crystalline glass, making it easier to carve and better able to produce a variety of glass products. How about it, little prince, do you want to take the task! As long as you recite the entire Analects!]

Yinreng pouted: "That's not what you said before! You said I could make a clock by giving me the blueprints, but you didn't say I needed glass!"

System: ...So all the knowledge it has provided was in vain? The little prince's attention is not on this at all?

[Hmm… this…]

You must be feeling guilty!

Yinreng frowned and said, "I think it's okay not to have a clock face. I've checked it and it doesn't affect the function of the clock."

System: ...Fuck! It's actually possible!

[No! Little prince, this clock face is very necessary. Without it, dust will stick to the hands, and they will break easily if touched. It won't look good, will it?]

Yinreng lowered his head and pointed at his finger: "It's hung on the wall, no one would touch it! It's decided! At most, I can sell it for less money. Others sell it for 100 taels, I'll let them sell it for 80 taels."

The system is anxious!

[Little prince! Don't make a decision so quickly! Let's discuss it! Glass can be made not only into clock faces, but also into mirrors, flower shops, and windows. There are so many uses! These are all ways to make money!]

Yinreng looked depressed, "No! I am the crown prince, not a merchant, so I don't want to work so hard to make money! I have plenty of money!"

The system was speechless. Indeed, the young prince would not be short of money.

[Don't you want to share Khan Ama's worries and want your subjects to live a good life?]

"I made the clock to relieve Khan Ama's worries! And Khan Ama said that I am still young and Khan Ama will take care of the court's affairs! It won't be too late to help Khan Ama when I grow up!"

The system wants to cry!

[Little prince! You have to start learning from childhood! How about this, instead of reciting the Analects, we do math problems instead? You only need to do ten math papers of the lowest difficulty, and get a score of 80... No, 60 will be enough! How about that?]

Yinreng stretched out his hand: "Give it to me!"

System: ...So straightforward?

It was a little confused, but also afraid that Yinreng would go back on his word, so it quickly started the task and took out the math paper.

Yinreng was delighted when he saw it. This was an elementary school math test. Ten papers were finished in less than half an hour.

system:!!!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The little prince is only six years old, and the Qing Dynasty didn't even have equations at that time! How did the little prince finish so quickly, and get full marks on every sheet!

Before changing the task, it played a trick and deliberately said it was the lowest difficulty level to let Yinreng put down his guard. It was indeed the lowest difficulty level, but this lowest difficulty level was also very high for a six-year-old child. It thought Yinreng couldn't do it, so he would naturally ask it for help. It could then start the tutorial.

result...

Looking at the full-mark test paper, the system was confused and entangled. The task was completed, yes. But its assessment was not just based on the results, but also on the host's efforts, the index of dedication, and the system's own efforts.

If the host cannot complete the task by itself, but has learned it with the help of its tutorial, then it will get high points. On the contrary, in the current situation, the little prince completed it easily, and it had nothing to do with it, so it can only get basic points.

After gritting his teeth and giving out the reward, the system looked at Yinreng and felt like his brain was stuck.

How could this happen! This is unscientific! It must have landed in the wrong way!

While it was still hesitating, Yinreng had already accepted the prescription and went out happily.

The system has a low IQ and is stupid and silly, which is quite good for him.

Now Yinreng has basically confirmed a few points. The system stays on him, and can only scan his physical condition and view his experiences in the past six years, but cannot invade his brain and know his thoughts and consciousness. Otherwise, the system would not be unaware that he is a time traveler.

Of course, the system can still sense his larger emotional ups and downs, but it cannot detect smaller fluctuations.

This made Yinreng feel relieved. This way, he wouldn't feel like he had no way to hide from the system.

Children have limited energy. Although Yinreng gained a lot from all this work, he was really tired.

He forced himself to stay awake and had some dinner, then went to bed on time. Aunt Lan had not come back yet, and at night, several more palace maids were taken away from Yuqing Palace. Yinreng only found out about this when he woke up early in the morning. He said nothing. He knew what happened to Aunt Lan. As for the others, they were cleaning staff and would not come to him easily. Since they were taken away, they must have been sent by others.

After breakfast, Liang Jiugong sent a palace maid over. She was in her thirties, with a round face and big eyes. She was pretty, but not very noticeable in the harem full of beauties. Yinreng recognized her. She was in charge of Kangxi's tea room. The tea room was responsible for Kangxi's tea and snacks, all of which were edible. Those who could serve in this place were Kangxi's confidants.

"Prince, Lanxiang's family members outside the palace came to look for her. The Emperor, in recognition of her many years of service to you, has granted her special permission to be released to reunite with her family. From now on, Xueqing will take Lanxiang's place and serve you."

Yinreng nodded and said yes. But he knew in his heart that this was obviously a lie!

Seeing that he looked normal, Liang Jiugong looked at him twice more, waited for a long time, and when he was sure that he really had nothing else to say, he said goodbye.

At noon, Kangxi came over to have lunch with him and took the initiative to talk about Aunt Lan, "Does Baocheng want to see her again?"

Yinreng shook his head: "Khan Ama, Aunt Lan is not good, right?"

Kangxi was a little surprised. Yinreng said again: "I think she took me to the Imperial Garden on purpose so that I could hear those words."

After saying this, he picked out some details about his analysis of Aunt Lan yesterday and told Kangxi about it.

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and held Yinreng tightly, saying, "We will make sure that he is really smart!"

"Of course! I am Khan Ama's son! Khan Ama is wise and brave, so his son must be good!"

This not only praised himself, but also complimented Kangxi. Kangxi was even happier.

Yinreng added: "Even if I guessed wrong, there is still Khan Ama. Anyway, I just need to remember that Khan Ama will not harm me and everything he does is for my good. Aunt Lan is just a slave, but Khan Ama is my Ama!"

Kangxi suddenly remembered Xiao Lizi's report. Yinreng said the same thing yesterday. Khan Ama said she had a problem, so she must have a problem.

For a moment, Kangxi was not only pleased, but also loved her even more.

"Baocheng! Look, these are all other people's schemes. You must not fall for other people's schemes. So stop saying bad things about yourself and stop saying things that will kill your Empress Dowager. Your Empress Dowager cares about you the most. How sad would she be if she knew? As for your sixth brother's illness, it has nothing to do with you. Your sixth brother is well today. There is no such thing as a cure. It was all done by the bad guys on purpose."

Yinreng was deeply saddened, his eyes instantly became wet, and he hugged Kangxi tightly.

People are all made of flesh and blood. He knew better than anyone how Kangxi had treated him in the past six years. Not to mention the tone of Kangxi's coaxing him at this moment, which could be described as cautious. How could such a father forget what he said in the future and personally scold him for being born to kill his mother?

Yinreng gritted his teeth! He couldn't believe in history. Besides, the road is made by people. People get along with each other. He is no longer the original Yinreng. It's hard to say what will happen in the future!

"Okay! Khan Ama, I don't believe it! You shouldn't believe it either! I didn't bring bad luck to the Empress Dowager, nor did I bring bad luck to my sixth brother. My sixth brother didn't bring bad luck to me either. From now on, let's not talk about it anymore."

Hearing his hoarse voice and choking throat, Kangxi said hurriedly: "Okay! No more! No more! From now on, no one is allowed to say anything!"

After this incident, the father and son talked for a while. Kangxi mentioned: "You have been ill for quite some time and have neglected your studies. Now that you are in good health, you should resume your studies from tomorrow."

Yinreng did not refuse. He had started learning early, and Kangxi taught him personally. Later, he hired Zhang Ying and others to teach him. Even if he doted on him on weekdays, he was very strict with his schoolwork. He was indulged with him recently, probably because he saw that he was seriously ill and was frightened.

"Ama Khan, I want to learn something from Master Nan!"

Master Nan was called Nan Huairen, a Belgian. Although he was a missionary, he was very talented, knowing astronomy and geography, and also understanding mechanical manufacturing. Emperor Kangxi had studied with Nan Huairen before and respected him very much.

"Why do you suddenly think of Master Nan?"

Yinreng frowned and said, "I took the clock apart today to see what's inside. I heard that this thing is valuable. If we can make it, we can make a lot of money. Last year, there was an earthquake in the capital, and it cost a lot of money. Khan Ama was busy until three o'clock every day. I don't want Khan Ama to work so hard. If I had this, Khan Ama wouldn't have to worry about the disaster. But I didn't see anything after I took it apart. I asked the masters from the Construction Department, but they didn't understand either."

It was actually for himself! Kangxi was very happy, but also a little amused.

"It's not that easy to make a clock. If it were easy, they would be everywhere on the street and they would be worthless."

"How can we know if we don't try? Khan Ama, just promise me!"

Kangxi did not have any high hopes for the clock, but he was pleased with his intention. He also felt that Nan Huairen did have some skills and it would not hurt to learn something from him, so he agreed.

A smile immediately broke out on Yinreng's little face.

Liang Jiugong saw the opportunity and came in, whispering something in Kangxi's ear. Kangxi's face darkened instantly, but it was only for a moment, and he regained his gentle appearance in the blink of an eye, talking to Yinreng as usual and coaxing Yinreng to sleep.

Yinreng was actually quite curious, secretly scratching his head. She came to report the matter during this time, so it must be that Aunt Lan had some results. He really wanted to know who was standing behind Aunt Lan.

But it was obvious that Kangxi didn't intend to tell a little kid like him. Yinreng didn't ask any more questions and went to bed obediently.

As soon as he fell asleep, Kangxi left in a hurry, with a look of ugliness that made people terrified!

The author has something to say:

① The data says that Yinreng started to study in February of the 20th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. This means that he entered the cabinet to study. This article advances this time, which is a private setting.
