Help! Help!
Today I looked back at the original draft written in my notebook and found major flaws. I had originally looked at some similar books and thought it would be easy to write, but after writing, I realized it's basically impossible to achieve. I originally thought I could obtain the technology for glass and steel, but today I realized that the materials needed for glass simply couldn't be found in ancient times: silica (quartz sand), soda ash, limestone. (Pure soda was simply impossible to produce at that time.) Steel is somewhat easier, just iron with 2% carbon, but that requires temperatures above 1600 degrees. Uh, does anyone have any way to help me out urgently?

Don't worry too much, this is a common problem among literati and poets. Besides, maybe someone traveled through time? And then brought the technology with them.
The landlord should read Mao Zedong's 'On Contradiction' a few more times, and then he will probably feel at ease and justified.
I hate old Mao, hypocritical, garbage, scum (this is with evidence, old Mao was engaging in misconduct along the way during the Long March. Countless women were harmed by him)
Steel can be refined to remove impurities through sword casting, but the process is boring: just heat it red, hammer it, heat it red, hammer it... repeatedly. As for glass, just bring some sand and find a lava pool to slowly tinker with it. (Be careful of safety)
But the original poster might as well forget about mass production; most of the ones in the past were mostly coarse copper and impure iron, with low hardness.
