Lao Ba visited the production line for a while, turned around and said to Qiao Xiaomu, who had been accompanying him, I heard that you have a major technological breakthrough? Can you show me?

That's it! Qiao Xiaomu pointed to the glass plates of various colors placed on the workbench and responded.

These stained glasses? Didn't you say that it was done half a year ago, and where is the breakthrough?

Seeing Lao Ba's look with a question mark on his face, Qiao Xiaomu responded with a smile:

It's not the same, first of all, the color that came out at the beginning was random, what color, chromaticity saturation or something we can't control at all, and now the stained glass is basically controllable, which is a major technological progress!

Oh? yes, listening to you say that, it seems to be true by comparison...... The color of these glass bowls seems to be purer, and it is indeed different from the stained glass of the past, which seems to be mixed...... Yes, in the past, it seems that some glasses were red and green, and of course mixed colors have their charms, but pure color glass technology is more significant......

Qiao Xiaomu nodded in agreement and continued:

"That's right, this means that our industrial technology has a qualitative leap, you know, in the early days of making glassware, industrial measurement and testing has been blank, we can't even make thermometers, industrial production has been using the old world to bring measurement and testing tools, instruments, and the number is not much.

As you know, it was discussed at the plenary meeting that these testing and measuring tools and instruments have been worn out, and the long-term solution is to do it yourself, right? ”

"Huh? So, what measuring instruments have you come up with? ”

"There are a lot of instruments that have been made, all kinds of methods, Xiao Fei and Huali and Boss Luo also have strong support, I am not alone, such as this thermocouple, which is palladium and rhodium alloy!"

"Nest! It's all out there?! This is a golden finger through the novel! ”

Lao Ba exclaimed.

"Hey! In fact, it's very simple, the last time the Pride brought back more than a dozen sacks of Spanish double-column silver dollars, I heard that they were newly minted in recent years, and at that time, Xiao Anzi said in the telegram that they must keep the Spanish silver dollars, and there are all kinds of metals in them.

You know that Xiao An was originally engaged in non-ferrous metal smelting, and after he reminded him, Huali Xiaoquan and they immediately came to work, and specially asked Boss Luo to make a small crucible furnace, and asked me to make some refractory mud for them with ceramic powder, in short, after several twists and turns, and finally really separated some so-called alloys, all kinds of different ......"

"What do you mean by an alloy?"

Lao Ba suddenly asked keenly.

"It's just a metal mixture that only roughly knows what element this thing is composed of, but I don't know the specific composition ratio, anyway, it's not silver, and then Xiao Fei passed the electrochemical test to distinguish some, for example, there is a nickel-copper alloy in a certain lump, and a lump is mainly iron-nickel alloy, of course, the highest level is the palladium-rhodium alloy guessed by the elimination method......"

"That's right, what about this thermoelectric?"

"Thermocouples!"

"Oh, what are thermocouples for?"

"I have experimented to measure the temperature, and the high temperature of 1,000 degrees can be measured!"

"That's ......"

"So, even though we have all kinds of chemical testing, electronic testing, electrochemical photochemical testing knowledge, but to apply this knowledge to industrial production, the process is quite long, you see, the simplest thermocouple alone has to work so hard, let alone those other testing instruments.

If we do not have these industrial testing methods, it is very difficult for our industrial production level to reach a higher level, so it takes a relatively long development process to give full play to our technological advantages......

"Yes, yes, industrial production is not simple, but with our current industrial capacity, there should be no problem if we want to gain a foothold in this world, but if we want to dominate the world, we must keep our eyes on it for a while......"

The two talked for a while, and the rumbling of steam locomotives came from the railroad tracks outside the glass factory, which was to pull people back to the school and the Red Mansion, Qiao Xiaomu hurriedly went to arrange things on the production line, especially the production operations in shifts, and then arranged for the apprentices who stayed on duty, and then took the apprentices and workers who were not on duty to enter the carriage one after another.

At this time, Lao Ba was already sitting in the cab and chatting with Cheng Dong, Lao Ba and Cheng Dong were in the Red Mansion almost every day, so there was no work to communicate here, so the conversation was all leisure.

Cheng Dong drove the train around the island every day, and the news and gossip were very well-informed, so during the time when the two of them were sitting in the cab and waiting for people to get on the train, Lao Ba chatted with Cheng Dong very happily.

Cheng Dong said to Lao Ba, today Cao Limei took the apprentice to survey the railway branch line, and caught a large group of lobsters and various freshwater miscellaneous fish in the diversion canal near the Lanluxi Hydropower Station.

Then Cheng Dong said that Wang Zhanwu went to the Xiliu River Dam this morning to check the machine room, and met a saltwater crocodile, this thing is a bold thief, and he used a thin wire to tie up the crocodile's mouth, I just took him back to the Red Mansion, and now the crocodile is hanging in the kitchen hall of the Red Mansion and disemboweling, and the poor crocodile is about to turn into crocodile soup.

So, tonight everyone has crocodile soup to drink again.

Lao Ba listened and said happily, how long have we not eaten authentic game, the island has been developed for a long time, and these wild animals have disappeared near the Red Mansion, but recently there is game to eat, I wonder, why did Wang Zhanwu drag a crocodile back from time to time recently, how did he do it?

Cheng Dong Haha Yile said, I once ran to ask him, Ba Lao, guess what method he used?

I don't know, I know that he is very ruthless to these crocodiles, he doesn't blink his eyes, and he kills them in front of the children in the Red Mansion...... How the hell did he get the crocodile? ……

Cheng Dong replied: Last time I took him and a few apprentices with him to check the line of the Imi River, and I saw his method with my own eyes near the First Man Dam! This one takes a piece of chicken, inserts a high-voltage wire on it, and then ties it to a bamboo pole and stretches it directly to the crocodile's mouth, and the crocodile will be fooled in most cases and bite into it......

Hey, why is it all so troublesome? What a waste of meat? Isn't it possible to use electricity directly?

Lao Ba was puzzled when he heard this.

No, crocodiles have thick skin, and their scales are not very conductive, so electricity works best in the mouth......

Cheng Dong replied.

No way! Ruthless enough, and then pinched?

And then? There is no then, the crocodile was immediately coronaized, you think, a current of 110 volts and 10 amperes can format the crocodile's brain immediately! So the rest is easy.

Wang Zhanwu also told me that this is a tool he specially made, called electric shock bamboo pole, I said that this thing will not be electric to himself, he said pay attention to it, it doesn't matter, of course this is his profession, anyway, I don't dare to play.

Lao Ba shook his head when he heard it and said, it's a shame that he can do it! If I, let alone play with electric shocks, even a dead crocodile would be lying there, and I would be terrified.

Cheng Dong said, of course, but I saw Wang Zhanwu riding on the back of a crocodile in Corona and breaking the crocodile's head and tying the wire!
