Liu Chen was a little pleased.

Immediately, following the officials of the forging institute, they went to the place where the glass was fired, and it was already filled with hundreds of glassware.

In the past few days since Zhao Yun left Changshan, glassware has actually been made. But either the quality is not up to standard, or the transparency is not good.

After many days of hard work, the glassware that Liu Chen was looking forward to and satisfied with finally appeared in front of him.

Liu Chen reached out and picked up a glass, the transparency was still a little far from the later life, but it was not far off.

"Tested?" Liu Chen asked.

The official of the Forging Institute nodded in surprise and said: "Indeed, as His Highness said, it is strong and durable, does not explode in heat, and is much better than glass." "

"Good."

Liu Chen bowed his head in satisfaction and said: "You continue to manufacture, making glass bottles and jars, eating utensils, glass instruments and other daily necessities.

"These can be used to sell to make money, popularize the people, school chemistry experiments, and at the same time exercise your proficiency in the craft."

"Later, King Ben will let you make more sophisticated items."

The glass thermometer that Liu Chen needs to measure temperature and so on can be made from glass.

However, the process required is extremely demanding, and these novices need to continue to harden.

"Yes, subordinates obey."

The official of the Forging Institute, looking at this transparent glassware, was also pleasantly surprised.

The same is true of the many officials around.

With glassware, people's lives will be drastically changed, and their lives will become happier.

At the same time, they were once again shocked by Liu Chen's erudition, and the formulas were all simple recipes, which even used the firing of ceramics.

Unfortunately, after thousands of years, no one has come up with this step, and only Liu Chen has done it.

But compared to the shock at first, they were quickly relieved. After all, getting along with each other for a long time made them all shocked to numbness and became accustomed to it!

Right now.

"Your Highness, the distilled liquor is all distilled."

Liu Chen immediately put down the glassware and followed the official to the wine house with a happy face, which was full of stills needed for distilling liquor.

There are also many bottles and jars.

Immediately, an official stepped forward to explain: "Your Highness, these are all filled with distilled spirits, from low to high, respectively, the difference between less and more distillation. "

"Come, invite Hua Tuo and other doctors."

Liu Chen's face was a little joyful, but he immediately sent someone to ask Hua Tuo and other divine doctors, which made everyone a little puzzled, but did not question it.

Soon, Hua Tuo and other doctors from the medical school appeared in the liquor brewing room of the Forging Academy, as well as Fang Xuan, Tian Feng, Guo Jia and others.

These people are all people who love alcohol, especially Guo Jia, who is addicted to alcohol like life, smells the smell of alcohol in the air, and is as clever as chicken blood one by one.

"Rich and mellow, this wine is very good!"

Guo Jia sighed, his eyes shining.

Liu Chen shook his head helplessly, but he didn't care, and was trying to test the alcohol concentration in front of them. It's just that Hua Tuo's words made Liu Chen suddenly remember something.

"Chief Guo, your health is getting worse and worse, and you need to strictly control your alcohol consumption and content." Hua Tuo said alertly.

"It's just a little problem."

Guo Jia didn't care much, "I can recover in a short time, how can my eldest husband be without alcohol?" "

"Is Bong Hyo's body sick?" Liu Chen frowned and asked.

As a traverser, he naturally knew that Guo Jia died young, and since Guo Jia served him as the master, Liu Chen naturally wanted to change this doom.

Hua Tuo quickly explained, and Liu Chen suddenly realized.

No matter how good Changshan's medical conditions are, it can't stop Guo Jia from being fascinated by wine. Others drink wine to taste, Guo Jia to drink as water.

This manifestation is alcoholism, followed by excessive indulgence, which eventually leads to a deficit in the body, and after the immunity is reduced, the disease invades the body.

In history, Guo Jia's death coincided with the moment when Cao Cao was crusading against Wuhuan, and the poor environment and medical treatment outside Cyprus were coupled with Guo Jia's weak physique, and he could not afford to get sick.

This eventually led to his untimely death.

Liu Chen solemnly ordered

"Fengxiao, from today onwards, you must give me a stop from drinking and color, and only after Doctor Huashen is sure that you are fully recovered can I taste it a little."

"Huh?!"

Guo Jia was completely stunned: "Lord, didn't you say that men are lecherous heroes, why do you want me to quit color and alcohol again?" "

"That was in a state of good health, and now you can't do it, and it must be strictly prohibited."

Liu Chen said solemnly: "Gonghe, you arrange someone to supervise Fengxiao, don't let him have the slightest luck." "

Frustrated, he smiled and said, "Subordinates obey orders!" "

Hua Tuo brushed his long beard, his face was full of relief, he still cared about his patients.

Guo Jia had an unloveable expression on his face, like a funeral Kaoya!

Liu Chen ignored it, let alone softened his heart, but looked around and said, "Start testing the alcohol concentration!" "

"Yes."

Many subordinate officials immediately became busy.

In this era without an alcohol meter, the test methods used by Liu Chen are: shaking test, combustion test and so on.

Immediately, officials came forward to test.

The first step is to look at the hops.

Usually pour the wine into the bowl, there will be dense blisters, this is hops.

The size of the hops is related to the concentration of alcohol.

The higher the alcohol concentration, the greater the tension on the surface of the liquor, and the larger the hops formed on the surface of the liquid, the faster the hops disperse.

Conversely, the smaller the surface tension of the wine, the smaller the hops formed on the surface of the liquid, and the slower the hops disperse.

Observe the evenness of the hop size in the bowl and the length of time it is held to determine the content of the alcohol.

Generally speaking, the hops are held for about 15 seconds, and the degree of wine is about 50-55 degrees. The hops are kept for about 7 seconds, and the degree of wine is 55-60 degrees.

If you can only hold it for 3 seconds, then the alcohol degree is about 65.

Naturally, only an approximate value can be seen.

Then comes the second step of the combustion test.

The degree of alcohol refers to the percentage by volume of ethanol contained in wine.

For example, 50 degrees wine means that 100ml of wine contains 50ml of ethanol. 70 proof wine means that 100ml of wine contains 70ml of ethanol.

The flash point of alcohol is around 12 degrees, and this concentration can be ignited.

Then by observing how much moisture is left after combustion, the amount of alcohol can be determined.

At this time, it is necessary to use a glass instrument to accurately calculate the volume of alcohol through a precise scale.

Just freshly fired glasses can come in handy.

Of course.

Because combustion will cause water evaporation, external temperature and other influences, this method is also not 100% accurate.

And the scale accuracy of the glass instrument is really not flattering.

Again, only an approximate value can be obtained.

However, in the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was already very rare to get an approximate value for use!

After a series of operations, Liu Chen finally obtained these distilled alcohol concentrations.

"25 degrees ~ 50 degrees of alcohol can be used for physical cooling of patients. Generally speaking, about 30 degrees is the optimal concentration. "

"You remember this degree of alcohol, the number of distillations required and the characteristics. Of course, after the next distillation, it is still necessary to test it as just now. "

Liu Chen's explanation finally made everyone suddenly realize.

No wonder Liu Chen wanted to invite Hua Tuo and other divine doctors over, it turned out to be applied to medicine.

"Your Highness, may I ask, what is physical cooling?" Hua Tuo and the other doctors discussed with each other, and then asked suspiciously.

Liu Chen explained lightly

"Just as a patient has a fever and you put a wrung out wet towel on their forehead, alcohol can be used in the same way.

"Alcohol wiping the skin can make the patient's skin blood vessels dilate, increase the skin's heat dissipation capacity, alcohol evaporation, heat absorption, and reduce the patient's surface temperature."

"Of course, these methods are best done by their families."

Hua Tuo and other divine doctors suddenly realized, and they were shocked one by one!

"Your Highness is truly knowledgeable! We didn't even think of such a wonderful use. "

"The main reason is that the previous alcohol concentration is not enough, and the upper body of rice wine may be more troublesome, resulting in aggravated symptoms."

"Your Highness is wise and powerful!"

Many doctors praised Liu Chen one after another.

Instead, Guo Jia was amazed and regretted: "This kind of wine is actually used to reduce fever, what a waste!" "

Everyone ignored him, and Liu Chen continued to explain; "40%~50% alcohol can prevent ulcers. 70%~75% alcohol is used for disinfection..."

Liu Chen specifically explained the importance of alcohol disinfection, and Hua Tuo and other doctors were very agreeable.

Before they use surgery, they also burn the knife with flame. In Liu Chen's professional terms: it is sterilization and disinfection!

"Remember, wash your hands and disinfect them often. The use of soap and alcohol is to avoid the risk of infection. Liu Chen instructed.

Hua Tuo and other doctors saluted: "Subordinates know!" "

"Ahem..."

Frustrated, he coughed dryly and asked, "Your Highness, then, can you give us a taste of the newly brewed distilled spirit?" "

These are highly wines that they have never tasted before.

Liu Chen pointed to the liquor below 20 degrees and said: "These can be tasted a little, but it is best to store and brew for a period of time first." "

"Subordinates understand."

Frustrated and Tianfeng and the others, they couldn't wait to taste these distilled liquors.

Guo Jia's index finger moved, but unfortunately it was strictly forbidden by Liu Chen, making him look loveless.

Frustrated and Tian Feng, where they shook their heads to taste, Guo Jia's face was full of depression and unhappiness.
