Chapter 25 Blood 1
Chapter 25 Blood 1
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Xuanyuan Yun, but he suddenly wanted to make such a fuss about offering wine in person, and if he failed at that time, he would be given the sin of offending the gods instead.However, Xuanyuan Yun also had a plan in his heart. If he intervened in this way, since he was young, this matter would not work out, and Hua Mu could be protected by his identity.
The sacrifice was ready soon, Xuanyuan Yun stepped forward cautiously, poured wine from the pot with his own hands, and bowed respectfully to heaven and earth.Generally, for things like using fire, the first thing to sacrifice is the Vulcan. Xuanyuan Yun is not familiar with this, and an old craftsman next to him reminds each step, and he also murmurs the sacrificial words.From Xuanyuan Yun, other craftsmen and workers respectfully followed behind, kneeling to worship the god of heaven, earth and fire, and even the farmers and children who came to watch here also knelt down.
Hua Mu doesn't believe this, but she doesn't raise any objections, just like walking into a minority group, they have their own customs.Hua Mu has always known the principle of doing as the Romans do in the countryside, and he abides by it very well, so he also sacrificed together.Even seeing the pious and serious faces of the people around her, Hua Mu prayed devoutly in her heart to make the glass-firing work more smoothly.It has nothing to do with beliefs, it is just exaggerated because of being in such an environment and such an atmosphere.
Blood is always unavoidable for sacrifices. The old craftsman brought a rooster with a big red crown, drained the blood from the neck of the rooster, sprinkled it next to the sacrificial table, and then sprinkled it around the inside of the kiln , be regarded as avoiding evil.Finally, with the hoarse and deep voice of the old craftsman, he yelled: "Fire." The torch held by Xuanyuan Yun ignited the pile of firewood that had been prepared, and Xuanyuan Yun took out his dagger and cut a hole on his wrist. Sprinkle the blood into the fire, and the whole sacrifice is not over until here.
Hua Mu looked at the raging fire and Xuanyuan Yun's bandaged wrist. For the first time, he realized that it didn't matter to him, even if it was a casual game or a whim, it was so important to many people.He can't tell what's on his mind right now, he loves physics and chemistry, is crazy obsessed, and can stay in the laboratory for days and nights, or even longer, just to complete an experiment, or get a result, a data.
The result is his pursuit. As for the achievement of this "result", it is not very useful to him. Maybe in the end these data and these results are just a set of data in his experiment report or computer.But this is his quest, the quest for new discoveries.But at this time, Hua Mu realized that she was really naive before, those "useless" things, now think about it, can't compare with the convenience that an ancient waterwheel brings to these people.And what we should really do is that what we are looking for should not be those data...
"Mr. Hua, I think this kiln will go well." Xuanyuan Yun's voice interrupted Hua Mu's imagination.
"Materials should be fine. As for the heat, I think these veteran workers have a lot of experience and can handle it well. Even if they can't produce finished products, they should have some clues." Hua Mu said, he habitually adjusted the temperature according to various factors. The results of the experiment made a judgment.
"Mr. Hua also relax, there is still time available." Xuanyuan Yun was surprised that Hua Mu was eager for success, and comforted him.
"Ah."
In the afternoon, Xuanyuan Yun left alone, because he was going to court the next day, but Hua Mu didn't leave.One is that he intends to stay here and pay attention to the situation at any time, just like he does every time he conducts experiments; second, he also intends to sort out some things in the "Encyclopedia of Ancient Chinese Agricultural Tools" and ask some old farmers, and then Contribute whatever is needed.
Hua Mu thought a lot during the sacrifice, and was even touched by the gods. He always avoided taking out some things on the earth before, and only made some small changes to the things here.Because he feels that he does not belong here, like an outsider, he should not change the historical trajectory of this place.And what he was worried about was taking out too many things from the earth, disrupting the original development here, but sometimes he was forced to present more things step by step.
But now he has changed his thinking. He feels that if these crystallizations of wisdom, including those things that have been shelved, cannot bring convenience to the world, then they will ruin those achievements.After figuring this out, Hua Mu didn't return to the capital, but stayed in the small courtyard he bought in Lijia Village for the reason of taking care of the kiln here.Uncle Li has been taking care of the small courtyard for the flowers and plants, so it doesn't matter if Hua Mu wants to live in temporarily.
Xuanyuan Yun deliberately asked his guards to stay, and even arranged people to guard outside the glass kiln and Lijia Village to protect Hua Mu's safety.And Hua Mu also applied for some materials. He planned to make a model first, and then the workers here would remodel it according to the unique environment and terrain.What a smart person Xuanyuan Yun is, according to the materials Hua Mu applied for, he sent some relevant craftsmen to the kiln, saying that it was to take care of the kiln, but in fact it was for the convenience of Hua Mu.Xuanyuan Yun vaguely felt that Hua Mu had some plans, and this plan would shock him...
Hua Mu drew windmills and some plows and other useful things that are of great help to agriculture.Every night, he would close his small courtyard, then go to the laboratory, and search for useful books on the big bookshelf in the study.Then draw a simple drawing according to the description and pictures in the book, and ask an experienced master to make a small model during the day.He even looked through the things made in his computer from previous experiments, and drew some simple machines based on the recorded data.
During this period, the first furnace of glass was also fired, and Xuanyuan Yun was personally present when the furnace was opened.Because Hua Mu didn't have a good rest in the past two days, her complexion was not good, and there was a faint blue color under her eye circles.
"Mr. Hua has to pay attention to his body." Xuanyuan Yun said.
"Thank you Mr. Yun for your concern." Hua Mu smiled. In fact, he did the same thing when he started experiments before, but there was still his mother locked up at home. After all, he didn't dare to work too hard. He was too impatient these days.
********
"Open the furnace!" With Xuanyuan Yun's calm voice, the kiln started to turn off the fire and let off the heat.No one dared to go in yet, but everyone looked at the kiln eagerly, as if they could see through the thick smoke that the glass inside had been made.Even some of the surrounding villagers who came to watch the excitement held their breath at the moment, as if they were afraid that their habits would disturb something.
After waiting for a long time, the heat gradually dissipated. Several workers who used to smelt metal had been able to adapt to the high temperature inside. They took tools and moved the things inside the kiln.
"Wow!"
"Ah~"
"This……"
All of a sudden, various exclamations sounded, but Xuanyuan Yun frowned, looking at Hua Mu full of doubts.
"This furnace can be considered a success." Hua Mu said, he was very satisfied with the finished product.
The glass that was carried out was rough, several large pieces, crystal clear, and looked like rare treasures under the sunlight.So the people around expressed their admiration for such beauty, but this colorless and transparent glass is stained with other colors: red, green or yellow, blue like silk fluttering in it; It is also like hair, tangled in a ball inside.
"These colors?" Xuanyuan Yun frowned on this kind of thing. In terms of good looks, these natural colors really added a bit of beauty and uniqueness to it.But just because of the existence of these colors, it is definitely not up to the materials required by the national teacher for making utensils.
"This is the color of metal. When the time comes, let the workers treat the metal in the material first so that it won't appear in the glass." Hua Mu explained.
"That's good, Mr. Hua has worked hard these days."
"Show Master Yun some other things later." Hua Mu smiled, suddenly wanting to see Xuanyuan Yun's shocked appearance.
The author has something to say: I think of a brother who is a nerd, and finally went to take the postgraduate entrance examination.When I graduated from university, I made a report. Most of the experiments proved that the right-handed one is basically inactive and has no research value.In order to achieve the so-called blockbuster, the senior brother chose to do right-handed refining. Naturally, the final result was a failure.I think his failure lies in the fact that the things he studied are not helpful to people's lives, so ah, being pragmatic is the last word!Of course, I am a conservative person. Hey, when people get old, their thinking becomes stubborn~
Remind everyone again, don't catch a cold! ! !
There is no fever, but people feel a little suffocated, woo woo woo... These two chapters are sloppy, please don't spray...
