Chapter 80 - Making Glass

"I'm Yisili from the Capitol Group." The hot girl spoke first.

"Your Highness, I'm Lucy from the Forbes Group." The classical beauty stood up and replied calmly.

"Oh, that's it. What price do you two want to get the agency rights of 43 countries in the Eastern Continent?" Cage asked.

"Your Highness, we hope for 30 million gold coins." Lucy replied slowly.

"Your Highness, no matter how much they offer, we will give 10% more than them." Yisili said loudly.

Now Cage understood that the two of them were still fighting for their feelings.

"Yisili, you are not in line with the rules. You are completely destroying each other's business behavior."

Lucy glared at Yisili, very dissatisfied with her unreasonable behavior.

"It's none of your business. We must get this agency right." Yisili seemed to be a little impulsive, with her eyes wide open, not giving in at all.

"Ladies, don't be so excited! In business, harmony is the most important thing, and harmony brings wealth!

Miss Isley, although I understand that you may be dissatisfied with Miss Lucy for other reasons, I don't want both parties to suffer losses because of this dispute of arrogance. This is inappropriate.

We are businessmen, and we are most concerned about making money. It is not appropriate to get hurt for arrogance.

How about this, even if you give me a little face, I can temporarily calm your anger and discuss a peaceful solution.

The Eastern Continent is so big, I believe you two can calculate the profits." Cage gently calmed the two people down.

Although the two people were dissatisfied with each other, Cage was their biggest financial backer, and they still needed to respect his opinion.

"Let's do this. I will be the agent for the Eastern Continent. It belongs to you two. But here, how about this? I will divide these 43 countries into two parts. You can each choose the country you can do well.

I will grant the agency rights of these countries to you two. Next year, we will sign the agency again. According to the sales situation, we will determine who to sign with. Whoever does well will win. I will sign with her.

Don't be surprised if you don't do well, because you are not as strong as others and will not be able to get our agency. You can compete in the market. How about this?"

Cage persuaded.

"I have no objection. I don't know if Yisili has the courage to compete with me in the market." Lucy's words were full of wit. Although she was calm, she was also angry.

"Come on, who is afraid of who." Yisili also agreed with this method.

"I don't know, Your Highness, how to determine the agency fee?" Lucy was more experienced and knew the core issue.

"Well, I'll give you 1,600 gold coins. It's our first cooperation, so peace is the most important thing! But here I need to state that,

First, don't cheat,

Second, don't engage in malicious competition, and only sell in the area you represent.

If I find out, I will immediately terminate his agency contract. Of course, whoever gets my agency contract next year will have the priority to sign my new products."

Kage used both kindness and force to make them have benefits and risks at the same time.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Both of them were smart people who could understand what Cage said. After dividing the eastern countries, they prepared the contract.

Cage wanted to keep the two ladies for dinner and get in touch with each other,

But what made him depressed was that the two ladies politely rejected his request and went back to prepare the contract.

Cage was depressed. He missed an opportunity to get in touch with beautiful women. In this remote place, Cage didn't know how long he hadn't seen beautiful women. Or the population was too small.

The entire investment promotion conference was very successful. The agents of various countries and regions were basically finalized. According to the requirements of the contract, all parties must pay the agency fees within half a month and then prepare the caravan to transport their first batch of goods.

According to the current number of contracts, Cage easily earned hundreds of millions of gold coins. Watson was really numb. This was too incredible.

The whole process was like a dream. In less than a year, Cage's money not only did not decrease due to urban construction, but continued to increase at an unimaginable speed.

The situation in the imperial capital became more intense, and the struggles among various forces were in full swing. Fez, Stander, Warner, and Harris formed four fighting groups.

Among them, Stander was the most powerful and had a certain sphere of influence in the political and military circles.

Fez and Warner had united to fight Stander, and Harris, with the help of Cage's relationship, had a certain strength in the military.

In order to gain more merits, Harris conquered the small countries in the south and achieved a certain degree of success. His strength in the military expanded rapidly.

According to the way Cage designed for him to make friends with new and outstanding talents, Cage had a very good foundation at the bottom. With the help of Cage's eastern forces, Harris and the other two forces could also compete.

Cage was away from people's sight and away from the struggle. His life now was quite carefree.

After Cage improved the brewing equipment, the output of beer gradually caught up. Now almost the whole continent knows that there is a kind of wine called beer, which is one of the most high-end wines.

This autumn, there was a bumper harvest, and a large amount of grain was stored. With the help of Cage's advanced farming tools, the grain output was nearly 50% more than before.

This is a very large data, and the whole city is in a sea of ​​joy.

The abundance of meat has also made people's lives here better. Almost everyone who comes to Atlantis thinks it is the best city in the whole continent.

What makes Cage happy is not these, but that he finally found diatoms that can be used to refine glass.

Cage has always wanted to build a greenhouse to ensure that vegetables can be grown in winter. Although he has now developed a large area of ​​vegetable farming,

but there will be no production in winter, and almost all winter, meat and pickled vegetables have to be eaten.

Through a lot of experiments, Cage simply knows the process of making glass,

which is to melt silica and some raw materials together and burn them, and dissolve them at high temperature to make glass.

Quartzite, diatoms, soda ash, and mirabilite are very easy to obtain in this world, and nitrates are even easier to obtain, directly through the slag left after iron smelting.

Limestone, feldspar, soda ash, boric acid, lead compounds, and barium compounds. Sodium oxide can reduce the viscosity of glass formation, making glass easier to melt and playing a good role in fluxing;

Barium oxide plays a basic role in the formation of glass with sodium oxide; Tin oxide can increase the chemical stability and mechanical strength of glass;

Lead oxide can increase density, improve colorability, and have a special luster; Lead can make the glass have a large refractive index and a small scattering rate for light, making the glass more shiny and stable.

Limestone, feldspar, and soda ash are all relatively easy to obtain. In the production process, you must also be careful about the transparency of its color, so there must be a decolorizer.

If you need an opaque effect, you need an emulsion reagent. To get glass of different colors, you must also add some other elements, such as iron, to make the glass present a variety of different colors.

Cage has always been personally involved in the production of glass, and has recruited many apprentices to study glass production with him. It is very difficult to infer the entire process from a simple process flow and method.

Each step must go through a lot of experiments. Just producing glass took Cage a lot of time. Most of the silicides produced were unqualified products and did not meet Cage's requirements at all.

The entire melting furnace was also designed by Cage. The inner tank is ground with all metal to obtain a smooth surface. It must also be kept from being corroded and softened at high temperatures, and it must not react chemically with the melted material.

People in this world don't know what chemical changes are. Cage can only infer each process through his own efforts.

Since Cage, who has studied with Steel Tower for a period of time, is experienced in metal identification, he can obtain the required elements through mineral identification.

Many formulas in chemistry books are very simple, but it is not easy to operate in the world. Cage has mastered a little bit of skills through a lot of experiments.

There is no search engine like Baidu and Google in this world. These new things are all started from scratch, so Cage spent a lot of time on research.

Mars claims to have lived for tens of thousands of years, but he doesn't understand anything specific. Mars watched Cage curiously.

He felt that Cage was like a god, a god who specialized in inventions and creations. Mars didn't understand what Cage was doing at all.

It took him two full months to figure out how to dissolve silicates, how to mix and dissolve various materials, and how to remove impurities, so that the glass manufacturing process could develop.

When he got the first piece of glass, Cage, the indifferent guy, didn't sleep for two whole nights. Although it was not a very good work, they had taken a solid step.

By slowly mixing various formulas, Cage finally mastered the secret and began to make glass formally.
