Chapter 18 Craftsmanship

The weather was too hot, and the chef of the East Palace behaved well, but in the end, Zhao Kuangyin almost didn't move.

He ate a pot of soup cakes with ice water from the well, which were actually cold noodles.

In this era, as long as it is pasta, except for buns and pancakes, almost all of them are called soup cakes. It doesn't matter if it's noodles, gnocchi, or knife-cut noodles.

Cold noodles are rolled out by hand and boiled for seven or eight years, then the pot is boiled with well water, and then mixed with special sauce and ingredients.

In this hot weather, it is more appetizing than any food.

Zhao Kuangyin had a lot of opportunities and went back after lunch, but the children refused to leave, and he was not reluctant, so he asked people to clean up the two rooms and let them take a lunch break.

Although he is not a qualified father, he has been trying to be a good father.

Every father has the psychology of hoping for his son to become a Chan and make up for the regrets of his life through his children and grandchildren.

But this definitely does not include the emperor!

The emperor is already the ultimate in the world, and after sitting in that position, the relationship between father and son has become weak in the face of power.

The emperor's heart is thinking about the sustainability of the country, and at this time, in addition to the struggle for power, it is more about the pickiness of his descendants.

Zhao Dezhao did not avoid this idea in his previous life, and after sitting on the throne, he was less sincere and more considerate and picky about his children and grandchildren.

Of course, because he lived long enough, he survived his son, grandson, great-grandson, and directly passed on to his great-grandson.

But Zhao Kuangyin is different, he is now critical of Zhao Dezhao not from the perspective of the country, but from the perspective of family affection.

In his heart, Zhao Song's country is probably crumbling, and he may fall when he will fall.

So he hopes that the power in the hands of Zhao Guangyi, who is now in power, can be stable, as long as the power is in the old Zhao family.

For people like him, Zhao Dezhao can't fight for power, showing such a little omen, Zhao Kuangyin is not happy at first, but reminds.

He was right to do this from a parent's point of view, but from the emperor's point of view, he was very wrong.

Of course, this is also because he doesn't know that his old Zhao family has been sitting in the country for more than 300 years.

This wronged Zhao Dezhao, if you really don't want Zhao Dezhao to succeed to the throne, why not set up Zhao Guangyi early?

Now that Zhao Dezhao wants to fight for power, he shouldn't warn, but directly suppress it.

This contact was the first time Zhao Dezhao had dealt with him.

Because he knew what kind of person Zhao Kuangyin was, in front of him, he played an "excellent son" very well.

I am close to my younger siblings, filial to my father, and fond of martial arts, but I don't give up literature.

If you don't give me the power now, I won't say that I am wronged, but I also want you to know that I actually have this idea.

I'm not one of the world's indisputables, so you can just watch it.

The afternoon sun was blocked by dark clouds, and the temperature finally dropped a little after a few days of heat.

Zhao Dezhao stopped thinking nonsense and returned to the study to continue working.

Pei Ge'an had already gotten up from his lunch break, writing with a charcoal pen wrapped in paper in his hand, and next to him was Xu Yongchang, a young and steady waiter.

Pei Ge'an entered the mansion because Xu Yongchang went to pick him up, he acted safely, and he fell into Pei Ge'an's eyes, and now he specializes in serving Pei Ge'an.

He was illiterate, and he didn't know what Pei Ge'an wrote, so he served him, and the four of them were relieved.

Seeing Zhao Dezhao come in, Pei Ge'an put down the pencil and stretched out.

Her personal maid carefully tore off the paper at the front of the pencil with her hand, and let the bald tip of the pen be exposed.

At present, there are no conditions for making pencils, and there are no lathes, so it is difficult to make wooden strips that wrap refills.

According to the recipe given by Zhao Dezhao, the craftsmen of the factory crushed graphite, added other pigments, and gums, and handmade graphite powder into long strips.

These strips are not wrapped in wooden strips, and in order to make them easy to hold in the hand, they are wrapped in paper and wrapped into a cylindrical shape.

Once you get used to it, it's not much different from a regular pencil.

Liu Xiao, who came in after Zhao Dezhao, said softly: "You all retreat......

Xu Yongchang and the two little palace maids hurriedly withdrew from the study, while Liu Xiao guarded the door.

He is now afraid of this Sister Pei, maybe because of the soul of Doumu Niangniang, she has no respect for anyone, including the emperor.

There are often some backwords in her mouth that exterminate the family and steal the family, but the second brother doesn't take it seriously at all.

Afraid that others would hear the informant, every time the two of them were together, Liu Xiao didn't let anyone else get close.

"The emperor is gone? What did you talk about at noon? ”

"It's nothing, he still treats me as a child now, it's nothing more than some parents' shortcomings, and future plans. The only good news is that I may be getting promoted. ”

Zhao Dezhao sat at his desk and saw that Pei Ge'an had drawn a drawing of a Remington bolt bolt.

In the Ming world, Zhao Dezhao didn't understand the bolt, and he did the linkage bolt step by step from the very beginning of the cap bolt.

But the Remington bolt bolt is the star of the rifle world, and in the 21st century, there are few bolts that can match them.

After 2012, the quality of their products declined so much that they were called "slag mines" in the group of gun friends.

Many people buy a Remington 700, and usually immediately change the barrel, trigger, and stock, leaving only one bolt, which shows the popularity of their bolt.

Of course, such a product cannot be directly produced at present, and the process cannot be reached, but it can be used as a technical reserve.

Zhao Dezhao looked at it and asked: "In this era, some precision devices can still be produced by hand grinding, but how to solve the problem of the barrel?" ”

"It's very simple, use a clay mold to make two concealed semi-circular barrels, polish them and put them together, and then in order to hold your breath, you can wrap another layer of barrels on the outer layer.

It was only in the eighteenth century that the technology of lathe processing of gun barrels gradually appeared, and there are still 800 years before today, so we can't stop developing this technology because the technology cannot be reached. ”

There was nothing wrong with her thinking, and the appearance of muskets originally began with assembling barrels.

At first, the blacksmiths beat the iron sheet into two semicircles, and then wrapped it together from the outer layer.

However, it was later found that such a barrel was still easy to explode, so a double-layer barrel appeared.

It was not until the seventeenth century that the bottleneck of the barrel process was gradually broken down, and it was slowly possible to take shape as a whole.

The manufacturing process of concealed barrels is from the 17th century.

Zhao Dezhao smiled and said, "Let's follow your plan first, and then I'll take out my skills when I can lead the army." ”

Sister Pei was not convinced. "You're like a young master, except for tossing with mercenaries in Africa, when did you enter the workshop? Also process, do you know what is the melting point of iron? ”

Zhao Dezhao didn't want to quarrel with her, picked up the paper and pen on the table, and began to draw.

On the first drawing, Zhao Dezhao drew a waterwheel in a distance, the scale is very small, and most of the area of the paper is a set of linkage devices.

The waterwheel is easy to make, but the linkage device is the technical problem.

Pei Ge'an was dumbfounded, and looked at Zhao Dezhao with wide eyes. "You guy, when did you learn this?"

She is only nine years old this year, and she is still a little Lori. And she was already beautiful, but her eyes widened at this time, not to mention how cute she was.

Zhao Dezhao couldn't help but touch her head and prick her hands. "Your husband and I are deeply hidden."

Defeated in his own strengths, Pei Gean was a little unconvinced. "The waterwheel is too small, the power is insufficient, and the lack of bearings is too large to reduce friction, which will only make the waterwheel shaft easily damaged."

Zhao Dezhao smiled and began to draw again, this time, he drew an exploded view of a bearing, and there was also a detailed quenching and formula process.

If it weren't for the fear of hitting her, he would have prepared to draw the linkage lathe and grinder.

But that's not necessary......

The more Pei Ge'an looked at it, the more excited he became, and said: "As long as I improve the gas supply chamber of the blast furnace and increase the furnace temperature, with this set of technology, I can directly produce rifles." ”

"Don't be intimidated by difficulties, but don't ignore the reality of basic conditions, we have no problem producing one or two guns for self-defense now, and if we want to mass produce them, we need to go through a long stage."

Liu Xiaozai didn't understand at all next to him, and he didn't listen attentively, he just needed to help the second brother manage this study.

"Second brother, fourth sister is here."

In the afternoon, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the wind was strong at this moment.

Liu Xiao asked people to open the front and back windows, and there was a cool breeze in this hall.

Looking out of the window, the fourth sister walked over with a palace maid, Zhao Dezhao walked to the window and asked, "Fourth sister, are they all up?" ”

The fourth sister nodded and saluted through the window. "Second brother, several of them said not to go back to the palace, to stay in the East Palace for a few days, Daddy's side, I want you to go around."

Zhao Dezhao said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, and I will arrange for the Zhongguan to report it in a while." ”

She knew Liu Xiao, but when she saw the almost bald Pei Ge'an, she was surprised to hang there.

In this era, the hair and beard of the body are all part of the body, and they must not be damaged for no reason except for trimming.

After adding the Yellow Nest, all the monks in the world have almost been killed, and there are no short-haired people to be seen.

When she saw Pei Ge'an, she thought it was a monk, but when she saw the skirt on her body, she knew that it was a girl.

She saw Pei Ge'an, of course Pei Ge'an also saw her, and couldn't help but say behind him: "You look like your previous life, your sister, you also look like Zhongzhen......"

Zhongzhen is the second daughter of him and Yan Fangqing, and she is the most squeamish among the children.

But the modern Zhongzhen is squeamish, and this fourth sister is delicate and strong.

The fourth sister glanced at Pei Ge'an curiously and asked, "Second brother, who is she?" ”

Glancing back at Pei Ge'an, Zhao Dezhao asked softly, "Are you willing to take her?" ”

Pei Ge'an hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Zhao Dezhao beckoned to the fourth sister and asked her to come closer. "Don't tell others, she is a wisp of Doumu Niangniang's soul that has been trained in the world, and you can learn something with her in the future that you can't learn from others."

The fourth sister covered her mouth in surprise, looked at Pei Ge'an, and couldn't say a word.
