Now that he has the sand, it's time to turn it into glass.
Yun Yi took Zhao Yun into the luxurious villa.
The first floor, which should have been the living room, was now empty, with only some chest, workbenches and furnaces in the corners.
Yun Yi first opened the chest, he took out a stack of coal blocks that he had stored before. He opened the furnace and threw a stack of 64 sands into it and a stack of 64 coal blocks into the burning column.
Coal blocks are very flame-resistant, with a flame resistance of 80 grids. A stack of coal blocks is enough for the furnace to burn until the end of time.
"My Lord, is this a furnace?" Zhao Yun asked curiously.
Zhaojiazhuang also has blacksmiths, so naturally there are furnaces but the furnace in Zhaojiazhuang is obviously different from the one in front of him.
It's probably the difference between shoddy workmanship and art. With the addition of realistic light and shadow, MC's items are extremely exquisite in all aspects except that they are a little "square".
Yun Yi nodded:
"Yes, glass is made by burning it."
Zhao Yun looked at the furnace with a confused look. He walked forward carefully and stretched out his hand to feel the temperature. Huh, not hot?
Then Zhao Yun touched it directly, but still did not feel the burning, just a slight warmth.
"Lord God, why is this furnace not hot?"
He had seen the furnace in Zhaojiazhuang before. Not only had he seen it, but he had also touched it and even got burned when he was a child. The scorching heat generated by the burning flame never left his memory.
Yun Yi blinked twice. Why is the furnace in MC not hot? How would he know? But it is probably another MC rule since the furnace had never hurt Steve unlike campfires, which deals damage if you stand on it.
Of course, furnaces and campfires are different. For example, once a campfire is ignited, you don't need fuel which is quite convenient for cooking food.
Yun Yi could make up a reason to explain, Zhao Yun showed a look of sudden enlightenment:
"My Lord, did you use your magic power to seal the flame in the furnace? So the things burning inside don't feel hot on the outside."
Well, that was actually a good excuse. Anything the MC rule affected could he explain with just magic so he left it as it is.
It takes 10 seconds for a furnace to burn an item. So in just ten minutes, a stack of 64 sands were all burned into transparent glass. Unfortunately, there are no material for crafting color glasses, it'll make a nice addition to his house
The glass produced was also blocky which made it look like a glass box. Yun Yi opened the workbench and threw all the glass blocks in.
Six glass blocks can be synthesized into 16 glass panels so a stack of 64 glass can synthesize 160 glass panels leaving him with 4 leftover glass blocks.
"This should be enough, let's go and seal the window." Yun Yi patted Zhao Yun's shoulder.
The glass is refined now? With curiosity, Zhao Yun followed behind Yun Yi silently. The two came to the first wall. Yun Yi took out the glass plate and held it in his hand.
Colorless and transparent but under the sunlight, it seemed to sparkle. Although this was the first time Zhao Yun saw glass he knew that this was definitely a good thing because it was too exquisite.
Yun Yi moved his mind and the glass panels in his palm disappeared one by one. Then they instantly appeared on the outer wall. After being connected into one piece, the gaps between the glass also disappeared making it whole.
Wow! Is this a glass window? It is indeed extraordinary! You can't see it, but you can touch it.
Zhao Yun stood in front of the glass and subconsciously reached out to touch it. It was smooth as a mirror and cold. Although you can see the outside scene clearly, it can block wind and rain like a handful of clear water sealed in the wall.
Zhao Yun took a deep breath suppressing the shock in his heart. Of course, the main reason is that there are too many shocking things in the past few days. Magic armor, storage chest, unlimited water, divine milk medicine...His shock tolerance has been increased a lot.
He just patted Zhao Yun who was a little dazed:
"What are you dazed about, let's go."
Zhao Yun suddenly woke up, nodded, and followed him to the second floor. The second floor is the guest bedroom area. Five hundred square meters are divided into ten bedrooms.
Each room is not big, but it is definitely not small.
After all, it is just an ordinary bedroom. Before crossing, his house, excluding the public area, seems to be only slightly larger than this bedroom.
"It's still better here." Yun Yi sighed.
Zhao Yun looked at Yun Yi strangely. He doesn't understand why the god suddenly sighed like this. But from his words, the gods seem to like the human world...
Yun Yi ran to the wall of the second floor and prepared to continue sealing the window. The second floor is the guest bedroom area, where people sleep so it should be more private. He decided to add a curtain to cover the glass windows.
After installing the second floor, the two continued to go upstairs. The third floor belongs to the entertainment and leisure area. Of course, the most important thing is a 25-meter-long and 8-meter-wide indoor swimming pool. However, the pit for the swimming pool has been dug but there is no water yet.
Yun Yi did not rush to the wall to install the glass, but planned to fix the swimming pool first. He took out a bucket and chose to place it on the upper layer of the swimming pool wall. Infinite water blocks instantly appeared on the swimming pool wall.
The gurgling water flowed into the swimming pool continuously, however, due to the restrictions of MC rules.The water only extended seven meters and was blocked by the invisible air wall.
He took out a few more buckets and placed an infinite water block on the upper layer of the swimming pool wall every few meters. Until the infinite water blocks were placed all around the upper layer of the pool wall.
Although the infinite water blocks continued to flow into the pool, the water in the entire pool was still uneven, especially in the middle of the pool, there was a low-lying area.
There was only a shallow pool of water. Not to mention swimming, even if you walk in it, you will have one foot deep and one foot shallow but Yun Yi was not in a hurry, just waiting quietly for a moment.
The infinite water blocks seemed to have reached a certain critical point and suddenly began to merge with each other. Like a wave advancing from beginning to end. Finally, all the infinite water blocks merged together to form a uniform and calm pool.
At first glance, it seemed that he had wasted so many buckets to build a swimming pool. But in fact, he used the MC rules to create a pool where he can draw water infinitely.
It can also be used as a swimming pool in his spare time so from now on, he doesn't have to go all the way to the Hutuo River to make buckets.
He just needs to take an empty bucket and scoop it into the pool and it will never run dry because every time you scoop out a bucket of water, the pool will replenish the missing water.
Even if you suddenly want to change the water in the pool, it is very simple.
To make a simple infinite water supply, you just need to dig 4 blocks and place the water in it then you can scoop up water infinitely.
"Can you swim?" Yun Yi suddenly asked Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun nodded:
"Yes, but I haven't swam for many years, and I'm not proficient anymore."
The land of Jizhou has been dry for years.
The Hutuo River has become a trickle. There was no swimming pool in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so Zhao Yun certainly had no place to practice his swimming skills.
Yun Yi waved his hand:
"It's okay. Come to my place if you want to swim in the future. It's an indoor swimming pool. It doesn't matter if it's windy or rainy."
"But you have to prepare a pair of swimming trunks in advance."
Zhao Yun looked puzzled:
"Swimming trunks?"
Yun Yi suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no concept of swimming trunks in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Actually, it's just underwear. Just cover your lower body."
But Zhao Yun was confused again.
"What are underwear?"
Huh? This time it was Yun Yi's turn to be confused. Yun Yi suddenly remembered a short video he had watched before. It said that people in ancient times did not wear underwear. Pants were all crotchless.....
Yun Yi straightened his expression and looked at Zhao Yun's wide robe:
"Are you wearing anything under your robe?"
Zhao Yun nodded as a matter of course:
"Of course I am."
"Then what are you wearing?"
"Dubi pants."
As he said that, Zhao Yun even lifted up his robe to show Yun Yi.
Yun Yi looked at it curiously. Oh, it turns out that people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty did not wear open-crotch pants. Dubi pants are actually underwear. It's just that the names are different in different times.
But it's also quite vivid. Du means calf, and Dubi pants are shorts that look like a calf's nose. A calf's nose will protrude a part. The protruding part is for...
Yun Yi coughed lightly:
"Dubi pants is what I mean, in my hometown we call it underwear."
"Underwear, underwear, pants worn inside, it'll make sense."
Zhao Yun muttered a few words and suddenly asked, "Lord God, your hometown? Is it heaven?"
Heaven? Yun Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"Compared to here, it is indeed heaven."
Zhao Yun asked boldly:
"Then, Lord God, can you tell me what heaven is like?"
Yun Yi recalled and couldn't help but sighed:
"The heaven is quite special"
"There are mortals in heaven,well…most of them are mortals."
"But the mortals in heaven are different from the mortals here. They can contact each other at any time even if they are thousands of miles apart. They can travel tens of thousands of miles a day sitting in a special flying boat"
"traveling a thousand miles a day, and looking at countless rivers in the sky is no longer a fantasy."
It's a pity that he will probably never go back to that world again. Will those friends who played MC together still remember him? Maybe he'll reminisce about the happy time when everyone opened a local area network to play MC together.
But after thinking about it carefully, it's still better here. After all, in modern times, he is just a slave working hard hours just to live decently.
But here, he is the god that everyone praises and believes in. Maybe he can even build his own country or something.
But his words almost made Zhao Yun's jaw drop. My God! It's not easy to travel thousands of miles even on a horse.
Sitting on a magical boat, traveling thousands of miles a day, patrolling the sky and looking down at the numerous rivers?
How unbelievable! Is this heaven? It sounds so amazing! Though he didn't expect that there were mortals in heaven. But before this, he had never heard of people or gods from heaven descending to the earth.
The gods that can descend to the earth should have an extraordinary status in heaven. Maybe I can follow the gods to heaven to see it in the future.
After finishing the swimming pool, Yun Yi ran to the wall and installed all the glass panels. The glass on that wall of the swimming pool just happened to be against the pool wall. So he lay on the edge of the pool wall and looked out.
It was a bit like the infinity pool that was popular on the Internet in the future but was just a little shorter. After all, infinity pools in the future were generally built on the roofs of buildings hundreds of meters high but the single-story height of the luxury villa built by Yun Yi was only five meters.
Even if the swimming pool was built on the third floor it was only more than ten meters from the ground but it was enough.
There were not many tall buildings in this era.
Ten meters can overlook the entire Zhaojiazhuang. Yun Yi took Zhao Yun upstairs.
The fourth floor was the master bedroom area.
The whole floor of 500 square meters was his private space.
Having said that, most of the bedroom floor would only be a decoration because he didn't need to sleep. Maybe he would only come up to rest for a while when he was bored.
Soon, all the windows on the fourth floor were sealed. By the way, doors were installed in every room. However, the interior of the villa was still empty. Just... bare walls.
There were no large items such as beds, cabinets, sofas, etc. But Yun Yi was not in a hurry for those things so he must find a place for a chest, workbenches, furnaces, etc.
The rest of the details will be added later. Walking out of the luxurious villa. Yun Yi used the same method to fill the pond he had dug before. A simple stone pavilion was built next to the pond early. There were stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion.
Walking into the pavilion, the two sat on the stone benches, listening to the rustling of the wind and watching the clouds roll and unfold.
It was quite comfortable.
This is how to enjoy life. Before crossing over, it was just work and waking up for work with just enough time for games.
Looking at the clear pond in front of him. Yun Yi suddenly thought of fishing. It was a pity that he didn't have a fishing rod, otherwise he would have been fishing all day.
Maybe he would be very lucky and catch an infinite enchanted bow or enchanted books.
It's not difficult to craft a fishing rod in MC.
You only need two things. A wooden stick and 2 strings. He has a wooden stick, but he lacks strings. There are roughly two ways to get strings in the game. The first is to kill spiders, cave spiders or spider jockey. There is a certain probability of getting strings.
This method is the simplest in the game.
Because at night, various spider monsters will automatically spawn. But in reality, this method is much more difficult. Although there are many spiders, the bug scary spiders are probably not present. This kind of spider fits in horror movies but not reality.
As for the real world, most of them are small spiders the size of a fingernail. One finger can easily kill them so killing them should not drop anything...but Yun Yi is not sure.
Only after the experiment can we know. The second way is to destroy the spider web, and you can also get a piece of string. The best way to collect it is to use shears. Afterwards, you can decompose it into strings.
One spider web can be decomposed into nine strings.This is much more cost-effective than breaking it.
Yun Yi suddenly pulled Zhao Yun and asked:
"Do you know where there is a spider web?"
"Spider web?"
Yun Yi nodded:
"Yes, it's better if there's a lot, the bigger the better."
He was not sure if a few small spider webs could be used to collect a complete spider web with scissors. After all, if the spider webs in the game were put in reality, they would be so big and strong enough to trap people in it.
So to be on the safe side he asked about large spider webs. Although Zhao Yun didn't understand why the gods would make such a strange request. But he didn't think much about it.
Zhao Yun closed his eyes and carefully searched for the spider webs he had seen in his memory. Spider webs are actually not rare. There are them everywhere in Zhaojiazhuang. After all, this world is not only for humans, but also for insects.
Even in some corners of the world, insects are the real masters of the world. However, most of the common spider webs in Zhaojiazhuang are small spider webs the size of a palm. Large spider webs... are very rare.
In other words, there are very few spider webs that are not cleaned up after being woven by spiders. So, he needs to find a place where few people go…Suddenly, a place flashed through Zhao Yun's mind.
That's right! This must be one there!
"My Lord, I know a place where there is definitely the large spider web you mentioned."
"Oh? Where?"
Zhao Yun smiled:
"It's an abandoned cellar warehouse. When I was a child, I sneaked in to play and was scared by a palm-sized spider."
"Unfortunately, I was scolded by my father and never went there again but I can guarantee that there is definitely a large spider web there."
"no one has entered that cellar warehouse since it was locked by my father."
No one has entered for so many years.
It is estimated that it has long become a paradise for insects. There may really be the large spider web I want.
Yun Yi's eyes lit up:
"Okay, let's go there now."
Zhao Yun scratched his head:
"My Lord, we may not be able to go now. Only my father has the key to the cellar warehouse."
"But we can also force our way in. After so many years, the door is probably already in a bad shape."
It is definitely no problem to get in because unless it is made of bedrock. No matter how hard the door is, Yun Yi can easily break it down with a few punches.
But, there is no need to resort to violence for everything and the fishing rods are not a matter of life and death.
Since there is a key, use the key to open the door. This is also a respect for the people of Zhaojiazhuang. After all, the cellar warehouse is a common property of the people of Zhaojiazhuang, even if it has been abandoned for a long time.
Conquering people by force is not convincing them from the heart. Conquer people with virtue, and make them sincere. What he wants to do is to rely on his own ability to make people sincerely surround him then slowly change the world together.
But this does not mean that he will not use force. He just promised not to use force first but if someone provokes him, he doesn't mind letting them see the iron fist from Steve.
"It's okay, don't worry, let's go to your father to get the key."
Zhao Yun was stunned and nodded.
The two immediately walked towards Zhao Yun's house. There is a yard between Zhao Yun's house and Yun Yi's luxurious villa. It only takes more than a minute to walk.
When passing the middle yard, Yun Yi suddenly sniffed:
"Mmm? Why is there a faint smell of incense?"
"Lord God, this is our ancestral temple."
Zhao Yun suddenly became nervous, "is something wrong?"
He was afraid that Yun Yi would say he didn't like it and make them choose between the gods and the ancestors. If that really happened he could only apologize to his ancestors.
Yun Yi shook his head:
"It's okay, I was just curious."
If the temple was too close or his land was too small, he would've been a big irritation since the smell would continue to intrude on his place. But,there is a distance of nearly 100 meters between the two courtyards. Even if the incense of the ancestral temple drifts over, the smell is almost too weak to smell.
This reminds Yun Yi of another thing. Next time he goes out to cut trees, should collect more saplings and bring them back.
He can plant them around the villa. Otherwise, in the large courtyard, except for the villa in the center, there is only a pond and a pavilion. It's a bit too monotonous and the trees in MC grow very fast.
If he plants more, he can get logs without leaving home. This is much more convenient than going to Taihang Mountain to cut trees.
As for why he didn't cut trees near Zhaojiazhuang, the people who were affected by the famine would chew on its bark and with no water around, the trees are already dying.
Trees can survive for so long in drought.
But even so, The Taihang Mountains are no longer as lush as they used to be, and dead trees can be seen everywhere.
Walking past the new Zhao Clan Ancestral Hall, the two saw another courtyard. The door was slightly open. Compared with the courtyard given to Yun Yi and the new ancestral hall, this courtyard is a bit too simple. There is only one-story bungalow.
The style is simple and the decoration is simple. It covers an area of only more than 200 square meters. It's not really called a three-courtyard compound, but only one.
You can see the whole courtyard through the first door. Compared with the three-courtyard compound of the New Ancestral Hall next door, which is over a thousand square meters, and the four-courtyard compound of more than 2,500 square meters given to Yun Yi.
They walked into the yard and passed through the entrance. They saw three people eating breakfast in the main hall. Two men and one woman. Yun Yi only knew one of them. That was Zhao Yan, who went hunting with Zhao Yun before in Taihang Mountain.
However, the three of them did not eat around a table, but each knelt at his own small table.
Separate food system?
Yun Yi was slightly confused. It seems that the late Eastern Han Dynasty did have a separate food system.
The old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that I watched before was quite sophisticated. The dining scene in it was that each table was divided and each person ate his own food.
With the modern shared food system, everyone gathered at a table to eat. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it gradually became the common practice.
But kneeling for a long time...wouldn't it be uncomfortable for the knees? Yun Yi once went to eat Japanese food. He tried kneeling but before he sat long, his legs went numb so he simply changed to sitting cross-legged which was more comfortable.
At that time, kneeling felt quite... harsh.
The three people who were eating breakfast raised their heads and noticed Zhao Yun and Yun Yi walking into the yard.
They quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks. They stood up from a distance and stepped forward to bow to Yun Yi.
"My Lord."
After shouting, they shouted to Zhao Yun one by one.
""Second brother.""
It seems that these three are Zhao Yun's brothers and sisters. When they stood up and saluted, Yun Yi noticed that there was a small stool under their buttocks.
It was palm high and the seat surface was curved. It just fits the shape of the buttocks.
Damn, it turns out that the ancients had stools when they knelt. No wonder It felt horrible.
Yun Yi suddenly realized, Unless they went out to work, the ancients people usually wore long and wide robes so when they kneeled, the long robes just covered the small stool under their buttocks.
But even with the small stool, Yun Yi still doesn't like to kneel. It's still more comfortable to sit on a high-platform chair. If you add a backrest, you can lie back which is really enjoyable.
It seems that he has to take out the chair when I have time and let me start to reform their sitting posture.
Plus, He only needs to take out the high chair and sit on it a few more times, Others will imitate him eventually.
