Chapter 153 The Shape of the Heart
"Look, how's the quality of this sand?" Li Ze walked up to her with a dustpan and asked.
"Quartz sand, perfect!" Bai Xin took a look and said, "I need this kind. Find more. I may have to experiment many times to make the proportions of the concave and convex mirrors!"
"No problem. I'll tell Zhong Shu and Xu Rong to bring people to make it this way. The purity is high, and the glass produced will be more transparent!"
Then she poured the quartz sand into the bamboo basket beside her and turned to the river to continue panning for sand.
The others were panning more and more enthusiastically, but looking at the gradually accumulating quartz sand, Bai Xin was distracted for a moment.
She hoped that Ye Qi and his army would become stronger and stronger like the sand and stones, and that no one would dare to cause trouble in the future. Then she could rest assured.
Just as she was thinking about it, Ye Qi, with his trouser legs and sleeves rolled up, walked up to her, dripping with water all over.
"Did you fall into the river?" Bai Xin stood up to greet him, looking at him and asked.
"give you!"
Ye Qi was a little reserved. He stretched out his hand and handed her a palm-sized white heart-shaped pebble. He looked at her expectantly and said, "This has the same name as yours!"
He knew that she liked to collect all kinds of strange-shaped stones. She said that this shape was the shape of her heart, and also the shape of love.
Bai Xinwei raised her eyes to look at him, then took the stone he handed to her with an uncertain expression.
Seeing his slightly embarrassed look, she curled her lips with a hint of playfulness. In fact, he had never really given her a gift.
He had no concept of giving gifts. He said that everything he had, including himself, was hers.
Everything in the mansion, everything about the Ye family, was handed over to her, and Butler Yang had no choice but to listen to her.
He said that just leave him some money for drinking every month. If Bai Xin said that drinking is harmful to the body, then he would have no money for drinking.
Bai Xin stroked the heart-shaped stone and stared at him for a long time, then hooked her hand, motioning him to lower his head.
Ye Qi looked at her with some ill intentions, thinking that she was still angry about not letting her go down to play in the water. Although she was confused, she still cooperated and lowered her head obediently.
Bai Xin came over with a smile on her face, gave him a light kiss on the lips, and then whispered in his ear, "Dear, I like this gift very much, thank you!"
Ye Qi raised his head and stared at her blankly. His heart was so bright and beautiful that it made his heart surge and he couldn't stop.
Bai Xin looked at his silly look, chuckled, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the water off his face. She really couldn't bear to let him go. But it was enough for him to be well like this.
Ye Qi let her help him take care of it, but he just stared at her without blinking, as if he could never look enough.
"Is this enough?"
At this time, Li Ze's voice came from beside them. He and Mo Tian, each carrying a basket of quartz sand and a rifle, came to them, glanced at Bai Xin and said.
She poured the quartz sand into the bamboo basket and was basically immune to the stickiness of the two of them.
Bai Xin turned around and took a look: "Enough, let's go, let's go back and refine it now!"
"Xu Rong, take your engineering team and get ready to work!" Li Ze heard Bai Xin say this and shouted to Xu Rong who was still dredging sand in the riverbed.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Rong led the soldiers working in the river and followed them back to the weapons manufacturing area in the camp.
"Madam, is this copper pipe I made according to your request useful?"
When the blacksmith soldier saw Ye Qi, Bai Xin and others coming, he quickly saluted them, then presented it to Bai Xin and asked expectantly.
Bai Xin took it and couldn't help but admire it: "Well, the workmanship is fine, and the extension and retraction are natural and smooth. Very good, you are a professional technician!"
Bai Xin gave him a thumbs up. It turned out that the Ye family army’s weapons manufacturing capabilities were still very strong.
"Thank you, madam!"
The blacksmith was extremely excited to receive Bai Xin's praise. He knew what kind of weapons his wife was going to make that would benefit their army, and each of them was happy to be able to help.
"Then General, shall we start refining the lenses now?"
Bai Xin looked at him through the cylinder.
"it is good!"
He also looked back at her through the tube. She blinked slightly in the tube, which was very cute.
Then she took the cylinder made according to her requirements and looked at it curiously to see what the cylinder could be used for.
Li Ze and Bai Xin directed them to put quartz sand, soda ash and lime into a crucible and melt them at high temperature into a molten state. Then they asked the blacksmith to take them out and continue to heat them at high temperature until they were formed into a transparent round object similar to the bottom of a cup.
"It's done!"
After it was finished and cooled, Li Ze picked it up, looked at it and then handed it to Bai Xin.
"There's nothing we can do about it, we're just that powerful!"
Bai Xin took it and shook it, not forgetting to brag to himself and Li Ze.
"General, how about it? I told you it's not dangerous, right?"
Looking through the glass at Ye Qi who had a helpless look on his face, he said smugly, and then handed the glass to him.
"What is this? Why is it so transparent?" Ye Qi took the round piece of glass from her hand, looked at it carefully and asked.
"Glass!" Bai Xin replied.
"What's the use?" Ye Qi looked at her and asked.
"It's very useful, you will know it in the future!"
Bai Xin kept him in suspense, but it wasn't really a suspense because he just couldn't explain its purpose clearly at the moment. They would know it as it gradually integrated into their lives in the future.
"The most important use now is to make the glass into concave and convex lenses and put them in this cylinder!"
Bai Xin looked at him and continued to explain. Seeing that he was still frowning slightly, he said, "Don't worry, General. You will know after it is done!"
"it is good!"
Ye Qi looked at her energetic appearance and responded lovingly. Although her things were all strange, he knew that each one was for him.
He reached out and touched her face, and said, "As long as it's not dangerous, just do it!"
"Thank you, General!" Bai Xin looked at him and smiled brightly.
Ye Qi watched the production process and after making sure there was no danger, he took his rifle and went to the tent to do his own thing. He left Baixin, Li Ze, Xu Rong and others to continue studying the precision of convex and concave lenses to determine an optimal distance.
Finally, two days later, the finished product was completed. Xu Rong looked through the telescope and marveled at it.
"It turns out that telescopic vision can see so far! With it, we can actually become clairvoyant!"
"I can actually see exactly what the grass on the opposite side looks like!"
Xu Rong looked through the telescope at the grass on the opposite mountain. The more he looked at it, the more he couldn't let it go.
"Madam, shall we go to the top of the mountain and see the distant view tomorrow?"
Xu Rong asked with a little excitement. He couldn't wait to go up and see how the Xichang soldiers hid in the stone formation.
"No hurry!" Bai Xin thought for a moment and said, "The Xichang soldiers dare not take the next step for the time being. Let's find a good day to discuss with the general and then climb up to see the distance."
"Okay!" Xu Rong was a little disappointed because he was really anxious.
Bai Xin thought for a moment, took the telescope handed back by Xu Rong, and went to the main camp to find Ye Qi.
