183: Chapter 181 Glazed Gold Dragon 183: Chapter 181 Glazed Gold Dragon The secrets inside alone, cannot be shown to them.
At last, Lin Yi led them directly in front of a huge warehouse.
“Come on, my old friends, let me show you our workshop.”
As he spoke, someone had already opened the doors to the front workshop.
However, unexpectedly, there were no soldiers guarding this place.
This inevitably made this group of foreigners somewhat puzzled, was this place not important?
For a moment, such a thought emerged in their minds.
After all, on the way here, every workshop they passed was heavily guarded by soldiers.
However, their thoughts were quickly dismissed.
It was not that they saw soldiers inside, but because they saw a dense array of various glazed glassware.
This immediately overturned their previous notion that this place was unimportant.
No joke, the value of the glazed glassware in this warehouse, if put on the market, would be immeasurable.
If one were to sell all the glassware in this room at the current market value, then there would absolutely be no problem supporting an army of a hundred thousand men.
And just at a preliminary glance, these people were shocked.
The glazed glassware inside was so exquisitely beautiful, so pure.
Putting aside the quality of the glazed glassware, just the craftsmanship, the carving techniques, were incomparable to anything they had brought.
But thinking about it, they soon realized why, since the craftsmen from the great Huaxia were far better than these Foreign Devils.
Even if these craftsmen had transitioned to the glazed glass industry temporarily, a craftsman was still a craftsman, and the quality of their work was so impressive that even Lin Yi had to give them a thumbs up.
Especially the Five-clawed Golden Dragon at the very center, which was extraordinarily lifelike.
Not only were the scales clear to see, but its expression and posture exuded an air of complete dominance.
And most importantly, the Glazed Dragon was over five meters in length.
Its height also exceeded that of a person.
What’s more valuable is that the entire Glazed Dragon was a golden color.
This left the Foreign Devils gaping in disbelief, their faces filled with incredulity.
They dared not compare their carving skills.
But they had never imagined that the glazed glass could be fired in such a brilliant array of colors.
This was something that their small country could never achieve, let alone this color-infused glaze; they couldn’t even produce clear glazed glass.
Just this Glazed Gold Dragon alone, if taken to their country, could at least sell for the value of a city.
All the more so in the great You Country, which was “incapable of producing glaze glass.”
Of course, even in You Country, putting this Glazed Gold Dragon up for sale now, nobody would dare to buy it.
After all, what the Five-clawed Golden Dragon represented was self-explanatory; other than the person at the very top, who would dare to own it?
Even if one had wealth rivaling nations, purchasing this Glazed Gold Dragon would lead to only one outcome – execution.
What, after all, does buying this Five-clawed Golden Dragon imply?
Could it be an intention to rebel and crown oneself Emperor?
In ancient society, only a legitimate emperor could possess a Five-clawed Golden Dragon.
Of course, the reason why this Golden Dragon was crafted, Lin Yi naturally wouldn’t keep it for himself.
His purpose was to offer it to the young Emperor.
In fact, if truth be told, creating this Golden Dragon consumed countless efforts from numerous craftsmen, not to mention time.
To give you an idea, once it was possible to create colored glaze, Lin Yi arranged for the production of this dragon.
And the amount of glazed glass that was damaged during the process is not even worth mentioning.
However, luckily, even if the glaze was shattered, it could be melted down and reused.
This avoided the waste of materials.
In fact, this Golden Dragon had only just been placed in this warehouse this morning.
Not to mention the Foreign Devils being stunned, even Lin Yi himself was shocked when he saw this Golden Dragon.
Such a level of craftsmanship, even if placed in the modern society of the 21st century, would be a rare treasure.
At the moment, the only flaw in the Golden Dragon was that its eyes had not been dotted.
This was, of course, Lin Yi’s specific instruction.
My God, this is simply spectacular, utterly unimaginable!
Your skills have reached such a high level!
We are completely outclassed!
With such technology, you are undoubtedly decades ahead of us.”
Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but show a faint smile on his lips.
At the same time, he felt a genuine sense of pride from his heart.
He wasn’t proud of his own technical skills, but proud of the craftsmanship of his ancestors.
While he was equally shocked by the Golden Dragon, he didn’t show it on his face, and instead casually said to Charles and the others:
“Heh, let me put it this way, the stuff you brought with you is just the leftover unwanted things from our past.
Thinking you can exchange them for money here is simply a pipe dream.
The serious business is now over; let’s go have some tea and a chat now, my old friends.”
After saying this, Lin Yi didn’t give them much chance to linger, but led them out of the warehouse and headed straight for the courtyard at the forefront.
This courtyard was the residence specially made for Lin Yi by a group of craftsmen working day and night.
Although it was still undergoing construction, a small courtyard in the front was already fit for use.
Lin Yi’s invitation to have tea was not to reminisce and chat.
It was to inquire about the current level of development in their country.
He wanted to understand what society corresponded to in later times, whether these Western countries had already entered the early stages of the industrial age.
However, after the casual conversation, Lin Yi’s concern was finally put to rest.
Through his probing, it became clear that the Western countries had not entered the industrial age yet.
As for the glaze, it was merely an accidental product obtained by a Preacher during Alchemy.
