The previous glazed glass was exquisite, but in its exquisiteness, there was a deficiency.
Although it was very exquisite, its size was too small.
With such a small size, it could only be kept as a collectible.
But this giant Xuan bird was different. It was massive and could be placed in the main hall.
Especially under the sunlight, it seemed to radiate its own brilliance.
Looking at such an existence for just a few moments, Ying Zheng was captivated.
"Good, this is very good. We should let the ministers have a good look and see what are the true treasures of our Great Qin!!"
Hearing this, Lin Tian didn't say much.
In Lin Tian's heart, he agreed with these words.
After all, the ministers needed to have some understanding of the existence of glazed glass.
Of course, Lin Tian would not tell those ministers that the glazed glass in their hands was glass.
He would only tell them that glazed glass and glass were two different things.
This way, those ministers would not collapse mentally.
And those ministers were unaware of Lin Tian's thoughts. If they knew, they might truly collapse.
The next day at court, the ministers indeed felt the difference in Xianyang Palace.
Many of them felt that Xianyang Palace had become brighter.
More importantly, a huge object had appeared in the main hall.
This object was several zhang high, standing in the center of the hall, and under the sunlight, it emitted an unusual radiance.
It gave people a dazzling feeling at first glance.
"Hiss! What is this? Why is it so huge??"
"Glazed glass, this is glazed glass, right? My heavens! To think there's such a giant piece of glazed glass??"
"I, I'm not mistaken, am I? This is our Great Qin's Xuan bird? Beautiful, it's truly beautiful!!"
At this moment, everyone was astonished by the giant Xuan bird.
It was colorless by itself, and if placed in a dim environment, it would not show anything special.
However, under the sunlight, it was a completely different story.
Under the sunlight, this giant Xuan bird refracted various rays of light.
These refracted rays of light were incredibly dazzling to the eyes of others.
Therefore, many people, looking at the giant glazed glass in the hall, couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Such a large piece of glazed glass challenged their understanding.
Many of them looked at the giant Xuan bird with burning eyes, eagerly awaiting a confirmation.
They wanted to know if this was indeed a giant piece of glazed glass.
If this were true, its value would be immeasurable.
Even a small Xuan bird glazed glass was worth a million gold. It would not be an exaggeration to say that such a huge piece of glazed glass was comparable to the entire Xianyang city.
For them, being fortunate enough to witness such a treasure was an honor.
However, as they were thinking this in their hearts, Lin Tian spoke at this moment.
"I believe everyone has seen this giant Xuan bird. I will tell you all, this is the latest product of our Great Qin, glass!!"
"Glass??"
Hearing the word "glass," many people doubted if they had heard correctly.
After all, in their minds, this object was glazed glass.
How could it be that now the name of glazed glass had been changed, becoming glass?
Such a change left many of them unable to comprehend.
Even in their minds, glass was naturally filtered into glazed glass.
However, while they were uncertain, Lin Tian once again confirmed his statement.
"That's right, this is glass, not your glazed glass!!"
"And the reason this glass was made was entirely to equip our trains with this transparent glass!!"
"Distinguished ministers, please look at this hall!!"
As Lin Tian spoke, he gestured to other parts of the hall.
With his gesture, others reacted.
It turned out that not only was there a giant Xuan bird in the hall, but the surroundings had also undergone significant changes.
For instance, many windows in the hall had been replaced.
The original windows were sealed and dim, but now, although still sealed, they were transparent.
They could even see clearly outside through the windows.
This clarity made them suspect that there was nothing at their windows.
Yet, they did not feel any wind blowing in, which astonished many of them.
"This is... have the windows in the hall been removed??"
"Impossible, why would the windows in the main hall be removed? This shouldn't be!"
"It really doesn't seem like they've been removed. I don't feel any wind blowing in. Could it be that this is glass??"
Looking at the windows, the ministers in the court seemed to have gained some understanding of glass.
Those glass panes were transparent and allowed one to see outside.
At the same time, they could perfectly seal the room, preventing any outside wind from entering.
Seeing this, many people became eager to try the glass.
They wanted to see if there was really glass in the areas that appeared empty to their sight.
At this moment, Lin Tian also spoke.
"Here it comes, bring the glass!!"
Upon hearing this, soldiers immediately brought the glass.
These were block-shaped pieces of glass, framed with wooden materials.
It was precisely because of the wooden frames that the ministers could clearly see the glass.
And when the glass was brought before them, they eagerly reached out to touch it.
Their hands landed on the transparent glass, and they immediately felt a solid object.
This tactile sensation surprised them all.
"Hmm? It's real, I touched it, it's real!!"
"What's real? This glass is real??"
"It's indeed real. This glass is so transparent, it's truly incredible!!"
Many people held the glass, examined it, and even held it up to look at others.
They found that even when they held the glass and looked at others through it, there was no obstruction.
Those who were supposed to be seen were seen clearly.
This made the ministers even more astonished.
"This glass, this glass is truly special!!"
"Indeed! It's like a transparent object appearing before us. This thing is so translucent!!"
"Is this what His Highness wants to install on the trains? It's certainly different. With such a thing on the train, not only can one see outside clearly, but it also prevents wind from entering. This is extremely practical!!"
Previously, the ministers had suggested using glazed glass on the trains, which would not only be translucent but also allow for a vague observation of the outside world.
But now, with glass, they realized they didn't need to observe vaguely. Through the glass, they could observe directly.
Because of this, they were all very satisfied with the existence of glass.
