In this era when most people can only use window paper to seal their windows, it is too exaggerated and too extravagant that all the windows in the entire building are made of transparent glass.
The Crystal Palace of the Dragon King of the East Sea is a place in mythology, and no one has ever seen what it looks like.
But now everyone present felt that what Li Xiang said was correct. Even the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea could not do such a luxurious thing.
That's transparent colored glass! That thing isn't just for sealing windows. In the Great Qi Dynasty, and even in the entire surrounding area, transparent colored glass is considered top-notch jewelry.
Not to mention transparent glass, even glass with some mixed colors is a rare treasure.
Businessmen often spend a fortune on it, and dignitaries will also be proud of having such a collection at home!
Even a piece of glassware can often cause a bloody storm, and who knows how many lives have been lost.
To be frank, any piece of glass here would be priceless if put outside, and it should be no problem to buy thousands of taels of silver.
But what did they see now? These priceless colored glazes were so casually inlaid on the windows. What a heinous act!
If you don't want it, you can give it to me! What's the point of putting it on the window? Aren't you afraid it might break? If any piece of it breaks, it would be heartbreaking.
Sun Jijiu, who had always emphasized that his students should be elegant, could no longer hold back at this moment.
People who say that money is something outside of one's body are usually poor or extremely rich.
It is human nature for ordinary people to be unable to walk when they see a huge amount of money.
Before they even entered the examination room, the Chinese Academy of Sciences had already given them a severe warning.
First, he used the library to tell everyone that their Chinese Academy of Sciences not only had a foundation, but also a profound foundation that was even beyond the reach of ordinary forces. They had methods for cultivating immortals.
Then comes the financial display. There is no preparation or buffer. Just a huge amount of wealth is slapped on your face so unreasonably, simply and crudely. I just want to ask you if you are confused or not.
Moreover, through this kind of display, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has also shown everyone a fact, that is, they are not afraid of anything.
Unlike a child carrying gold through a busy market, these treasures are guarded by an ancient ferocious beast. Whoever comes will die!
At this time, Li Xiang explained with a smile: "You may have heard that my master has the ability to turn stone into gold. These glass pieces were also created by him. Of course, this is not the main point. The main point I want to make is that if you can also learn the magic in the library, you can also learn this skill!"
What! ?
Everyone looked at Li Xiang in astonishment. How could such a thing be artificially made? And they could also learn it?
For a moment, many Confucian disciples showed fanatical expressions on their faces.
Why did they study the Four Books and Five Classics so hard? How many of them really wanted to write books and become saints in the flesh?
What most people seek is wealth and glory!
If I could learn the magic of turning stone into gold, would I still need to memorize books painstakingly all day long?
At this moment, not to mention the group of young people, even some of the lecturers from the Imperial College and Hongwenguan who came with them were not calm.
Turning stone into gold, what a romantic word, this is the ultimate pursuit of many alchemists.
Now the method is there and they can check it out at will, how can they not be tempted?
Just as the group was debating whether to continue looking at the exam room or go directly to the library, Sun Jijiu snorted coldly and said, "If this thing could be mass-produced, its value would be less than it is now. Haven't you heard that scarcity makes things valuable?"
Everyone's heart was shocked, and many people's eyes regained clarity.
Yes, if this thing could be made artificially, its value would definitely not be as high as before.
But at this time, Li Xiang smiled and shook his head and said, "Sun Jijiu, you are joking. How can an ordinary person learn this method casually? Even if we know the reasoning behind it, the only one who has the ability to manufacture it in the entire Chinese Shenzhou is our Chinese Academy of Sciences!"
As Li Xiang spoke, he revealed an overbearing attitude. As a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he was really proud!
Sun Jijiu's mouth twitched twice, but he still said stubbornly, "They are just external things. We are reading the great way of the saints and cultivating our own virtues. External things are of no benefit to us."
"Haha, that's not the case. Take the glass in front of you for example. You can see that using glass to seal the windows can greatly increase light transmittance, allowing the room to be brighter."
"It's fine in spring and summer, but in winter, when the doors and windows are closed, its benefits become apparent. You are all scholars, so I don't need to elaborate on the benefits of a bright room, right?"
"And glass can be made into different shapes. Imagine if we could put a glass cover on an oil lamp, wouldn't the light from the lamp be brighter?"
"Actually, the answer is yes. Why do I know the answer? Because our Chinese Academy of Sciences has already used this technology. Each of these classrooms has at least six of these oil lamps. Every night, the light they emit is bright enough to make the room as bright as day."
"If you leave late today, you can wait until dark to see the whole building ablaze with lights. It's quite stunning!"
Sun Jijiu was completely bewildered at the moment. He had originally intended to bring his disciples over to see the examination room and show off his power. It would have been even better if he could find some shortcomings and mock Lu Chen harshly.
The whole process shouldn't take too long. Sun Jijiu felt that two hours would be enough.
But who could have imagined that the Chinese Academy of Sciences had already made preparations and wanted to let these people stroll around from morning till night.
Sun Jijiu's heart was filled with alarm. The methods currently used by the Chinese Academy of Sciences are often fatal to young people with unstable minds.
Sun Jijiu was really worried. He was afraid that the longer these people stayed here, the greater the possibility that they would be attracted by the various methods of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly and said, "Little Prince, we are mainly here to see the examination hall this time. Other things can be put aside for now."
"Hahaha, look at what I did. I almost delayed my important work. Everyone, please follow me. The examination room is right after you enter the gate."
"Before entering the examination room, please change your clothes. All clothes are brand new and we have prepared them specially for you."
"The purpose of this is to prevent smuggling. Compared to body searches, this type of inspection is more efficient. And after the exam, these clothes will be given to you as a souvenir."
"If you can take more than a dozen mock exams in a row, you'll receive a dozen new sets of clothing for free. The money for these clothes will be raised by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Yes, we are that wealthy!"
