Chapter 74: Refining Rune Glass

The reason why it was so fast was due to Liang Zifeng's contribution. The rune tools he refined, such as rune shovels, rune pickaxes, etc., could easily dig through hard rocks, although they consumed some internal energy.

During these ten days, Liang Zifeng collected a large amount of high-quality firewood. The lowest of these firewoods was more than 8 meters high and was piled on the open space next to the platform.

August 30nd, the weather is still hot at this time of year in previous years, but it has started to cool down, with the highest temperature probably approaching degrees.

But at this time of year, the maximum temperature is only around 25 degrees, so Liang Zifeng has to hurry up and catch up with the progress.

After the foundation was dug, he began to work on the frame. There was no need to lay any gravel at the bottom of the foundation because the soil layer on this hillside was very thin and the bottom of the foundation they dug was all rock.

Compared with orchards, the greenhouses in vegetable gardens are much easier to build, so Liang Zifeng started to build the greenhouse frame of the vegetable garden first.

He inserted the processed wooden stakes into the foundation at a certain angle. The distance between each wooden stake was about two and a half meters, and the height of the selected wooden stakes was 10 meters.

Then, a row of 18-meter-high wooden stakes were inserted in the middle of the vegetable garden as support. In this way, the structure of the frame is wide at the bottom, narrow at the top, and has a pointed roof structure in the middle.

After completing the framework of the vegetable garden, Liang Zifeng began to build the framework of the orchard. However, unlike the vegetable garden, the wooden stakes outside were 15 meters high.

In addition, because the orchard is 60 meters wide, it is naturally impossible to use wooden stakes in the middle as support.

So he built two rows of stone pillars in the orchard. The two rows of stone pillars were 20 meters apart and the two rows of stone pillars were of different heights. The row of stone pillars on the west was 40 meters high, while the row on the east was only about 27 meters.

Because the two rows of stone pillars are of different heights, there is a slope in the middle of the frame, which makes it easier to deal with the accumulated snow.

It took more than 20 days just to build the framework. By September th, the framework of the two gardens was completely completed. All that was left was to install the rune glass on the pre-made grids.

After so many days, the maximum temperature has dropped to 15 or 16 degrees Celsius. The early arrival of winter is a foregone conclusion.

If one were to rely solely on the fireball spell to refine rune glass, it would probably take two or three months to produce enough for two gardens.

Therefore, he thought of the refining furnace in the method of refining equipment. Although he didn't know how to refine the refining furnace, he knew how to refine the alchemy furnace. This was thanks to the two alchemy secret books given by the boss, which contained detailed refining methods of the alchemy furnace.

Then, adding his own understanding and the two heat-insulating runes, Liang Zifeng melted all the weapons he had collected before and made a three-legged refining furnace with a space more than one meter long on each side.

The inside and outside of the three-legged refining furnace are engraved with densely packed runes, some of which enhance hardness and toughness, some are used for defense, there are also runes that gather fire energy, and of course there are the two heat-insulating runes.

The refining of the refining furnace took only more than a day to complete. After all, it was not a magical tool for cultivation, so it was not that complicated.

Early the next morning, Liang Zifeng placed the refining furnace in the central square, activated the runes inside it, then used the fireball spell to ignite a fireball and threw the fireball into the furnace.

After the fireball entered the cauldron, it did not explode, but was bound inside the cauldron under the influence of a special force field.

As more and more true energy was injected, coupled with the effect of the runes on the cauldron, a large amount of spiritual energy was sucked into the cauldron, so the fireball inside became larger and larger, and the temperature became higher and higher.

When the furnace state reached a limit and the temperature no longer rose, Liang Zifeng began to put quartz ore into it.

As time goes by, more than half of the space inside the furnace is filled with molten quartz liquid. The next step is to remove impurities.

After being amplified by the furnace runes, the mental power enters the furnace and peels out all the unmelted solids inside.

After the impurities were completely stripped away, he used his mental power to take out a ball of molten quartz liquid and shaped it into a fixed size. Gradually, a piece of glass one meter square and three centimeters thick floated above the furnace.

The glass was still in a semi-melted state at this time, which was a perfect time to carve runes. So under the combined effect of mental power and externalized true qi, a series of rune combinations appeared on the glass. These runes were very thin, so thin that they were almost invisible.

It took Liang Zifeng about five minutes to make a complete piece of rune glass. If the glass had not been fixed on the area above the furnace, it would have solidified in such a long time.

The reason why the softened glass can remain softened above the cauldron is that after the runes on the cauldron are activated, a completely insulating area can be formed above the cauldron. Heat will not be lost in this area of ​​the material.

As he refined more and more rune glasses, his refining skills became more and more proficient. Later on, Liang Zifeng only needed a little more than a minute to refine a piece of rune glass.

In order to improve efficiency, after mastering the refining technique, he began to try to refine several pieces of glass together, and the speed of refining rune glass became faster and faster.

Eight days passed like this. During these eight days, he had to refine rune glass for 8 hours a day. Only then did he finish refining the rune glass for the vegetable garden. Then he worked overtime to refine the rune glass for the orchard.

The task of installing the rune glass was given to Lao Si and Leng Yuzhao. Liang Zifeng was too busy to handle it and couldn't spare any time.

Because when the rune glass in the vegetable garden was just installed, which was on the first day of October, it started snowing.

Fortunately, the greenhouse in the vegetable garden has been built and the rune combination has been completed. After Liang Zifeng activated it, the temperature in the vegetable garden did not continue to drop.

In order to speed up the progress and save heat, Liang Zifeng moved the refining furnace to the vegetable garden, where he would continue refining rune glass.

Liang Zifeng's homemade thermometer showed that the temperature in the vegetable garden had stabilized at around 5 degrees, while the temperature outside was already minus 3 degrees.

The thermometer Liang Zifeng made himself was a mercury thermometer. The mercury was obtained by heating a large amount of cinnabar ore and then cooling it. The reason for doing this was that mercury was too expensive here and there was no market for it.

After just a short rest, Liang Zifeng continued to refine rune glass. Before, he could only refine 3 or 4 pieces of glass at a time, but now he can refine 5 pieces of glass at a time.
