The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1159

[Chapter 1159: Smelting Metal]

After Lin Tian lit the fire line with a fire stick, he quickly ran to Chen Huifang’s side, lay down behind another pillar, and watched the fire line burn to see if the firework could succeed.

“Brother Lin, what are you doing?”

Chen Huifang finally had time to speak to Lin Tian. Since Lin Tian wanted to experiment whether the firework was successful after coming out of the room, he didn’t pay attention to Chen Huifang.

“You will know in a moment.”

After hearing Chen Huifang’s words, Lin Tian said to Chen Huifang, but Lin Tian did not turn his head, but stared at the firework with both eyes. After

Chen Huifang heard Lin Tian’s words, she saw that Lin Tian was looking at the firework so seriously, so she also looked at the firework.

“Swoosh-dong” sounded, and the bamboo tube also fell to the ground. The small bamboo tube rushed out of the big bamboo tube, and then flew into the air, exploded in the air, and then produced many sparks, splashing around.

After seeing this scene, Chen Huifang also showed a surprised expression on her face, and at the same time covered her lips with her small hands in surprise.

After seeing this scene, Lin Tian jumped up excitedly, and shouted: “I succeeded, I succeeded.”

The housekeeper and servants of the Prime Minister’s Mansion were all alarmed by the sound and came to Lin Tian’s yard.

“Master, what happened? What was that sound just now?”

The housekeeper came to Lin Tian’s yard and asked Lin Tian.

Lin Tian saw that the housekeeper and the servants were alarmed and came to his yard. He had stopped jumping up and down, but his face was still excited.

“Nothing, just doing some experiments. Remember, you are not allowed to come here without my and the housekeeper’s permission. Okay, go and get busy.”

Lin Tian said to the housekeeper, and then said to the other servants.

“Yes, Master.”

After hearing what Lin Tian said, the servants responded to Lin Tian and left. But the housekeeper did not leave, but came to Lian Tian and saw the bamboo tube lying on the ground.

“Master, are you doing any dangerous experiment? How can you make that sound?”

The housekeeper looked at the bamboo tube that fell on the ground, then turned to Lin Tian and said worriedly.

“Would I do such a dangerous thing? I still think I haven’t lived long enough. Well, there’s no danger here, you can go and get busy.”

Lin Tian knew that the housekeeper was worried about him, so he gave the housekeeper a dose of tranquilizer and asked the housekeeper to leave. After hearing what Lin Tian said, the housekeeper looked at Lin Tian worriedly, then turned and left the courtyard. It

‘s not that Lin Tian didn’t want to tell the housekeeper, because Lin Tian had successfully made fireworks and didn’t plan to tell anyone before New Year’s Day. Although Chen Huifang had seen it now, the one Lin Tian made was just a simple experiment, not the fireworks that would be used on New Year’s Day, so Lin Tian didn’t feel anything. “Well,

there’s nothing to do now, you should go and have a rest, don’t always blow the cool breeze in the yard.”

Lin Tian said to Chen Huifang, then turned around and picked up the bamboo tube that fell on the ground, and wanted to go back to his room to continue making fireworks.

After hearing what Lin Tian said, Chen Huifang didn’t say anything, but looked unhappy, and then watched Lin Tian return to his room.

But what made Lin Tian headache was that he also needed some metals that could emit different colors when burned, and smelted them into small balls, and put them into fireworks, so that the fireworks could produce the effect that Lin Tian wanted.

But Lin Tian knew that if he looked for some metals such as brass, he could still find them, but if he wanted to find other rare metals, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Because with the technological level of this dynasty, there was no way to get those more active metals, so Lin Tian couldn’t find them here at all. Lin Tian could

only settle for the second best and look for those metals that were not rare, requiring these metals to produce different colors when burned, so that the fireworks could achieve a colorful effect, and Lin Tian would be satisfied.

Lin Tian had asked the servants in the mansion to find the metals needed to make fireworks. Lin Tian did not have much hope before, because with the technological level of this dynasty, it was impossible to refine those rare metals. Even if they could get some non-rare metals, they might not be able to recognize them.

But to Lin Tian’s surprise, the servants in the costumes still found some metals that can emit colors when burning. For example, magnesium, lead, strontium, barium and other metals.

Although Lin Tian did not know what color these metals would emit when burning, he also conducted some experiments and found that these metals could emit different lights after burning, so he decided to use these metals.

Since he had decided to use these metals, the next step was to simply process these metals. It was called processing, but it was not a simple process.

Lin Tian first had to melt all these metals on the fire into liquid, and then let the liquid metal cool and become metal balls, which had reached the size that could be put into the small bamboo tube.

This time, Lin Tian did not make it himself, but took the metals to the blacksmith shop, because in order to melt these metals, a very high temperature boiler is needed. It is impossible for Lin Tian to make one in a short time, so he can only rely on the blacksmith shop.

Lin Tian told the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop about his plan, and the blacksmith nodded to Lin Tian, and then asked Lin Tian to go home and wait, but Lin Tian had no time to wait, so he could only pay double the silver, and then the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop would melt the metal now. In

order to save the speed of melting the metal, Lin Tian asked the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop to melt several metals at the same time, because each metal requires different heat to melt, so the time required for firing is also different.

After about two hours, several metals had melted, and Lin Tian asked the blacksmith to take them out directly, and then dripped them into the water drop by drop, so that the small metal balls that Lin Tian needed were made.

Although the appearance of these metal balls was not particularly good-looking, Lin Tian didn’t care about that, as long as the metal balls he needed could be used.

Lin Tian waited for more than two hours before all the metals were turned into small metal balls in the hands of the blacksmith. Lin Tian then took these small metal balls home.
