"Xianggong, you can really make this artifact!" On the way home, Princess Changle asked.

Merton nodded and said, "It's not difficult, you should have seen the prototype of this artifact." ”

Princess Changle was confused and said, "I've seen it?" ”

Merton nodded and said, "That's the well!" It must be a well-pressed well that has shrunk to the size of a palm! ”

"Kill the well!" Princess Changle couldn't help but think, she naturally saw the well, this is Merton's famous work, not only to solve the problem of hundreds of people draft, but also to let the people of the world have the ability to protect themselves in the face of drought.

Merton explains: "The so-called syringe is just a reversal of the principle of the well killing, which uses pressure to pump water out of the ground, and syringe to use pressure to inject the medicine that has already been inhaled through pressure. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Princess Changle said incredulously.

Merton smiled bitterly: "Of course it won't be so simple, if you really want to inject the drug person into the body, you still need to create a needle, a hollow needle!" ”

There is no difficulty in the whole syringe, but a hollow needle is a problem that will be difficult for hundreds of years in the future, and the time has come to truly test the ink skills of the Mo family.

…………………………

"Hollow needle!"

In the Mo Mansion, Lao Zhangtou came in a hurry, and when he heard Merton's request, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, there is no problem in making a needle, even the most ordinary craftsman can do it, but a hollow needle stumped the most powerful craftsman of the Mo family.

"Young master, you have to create some secret weapon or something." Old Zhang asked cautiously.

Merton suddenly smiled angrily and said: "What kind of secret weapon, this is a medical device created for doctors, and it is specially created for the treatment of the eldest grandson queen." Yes, I don't care what method you use, you must build this needle in the shortest possible time, even if it mobilizes the power of the entire Mojia Village. Morton said solemnly, now there is only one last step left to treat the eldest grandson empress, and no matter what, he can't get stuck in this step.

Lao Zhangtou's expression was solemn, since this needle is related to the condition of Empress Changsun, and Empress Changsun is the mother of Princess Changle, the mistress of the Mo family, this needle must not be lost.

"I, Lao Zhang, will definitely do my best." Lao Zhangtou solemnly promised.

Lao Zhangtou, who got the task, immediately returned to Mojia Village without stopping, and when he announced that Merton's task was to build a hollow needle, all the Mojia craftsmen were in an uproar.

"How is this possible? The needle itself is already a very small item, how can it be made hollow. The needle is made of steel, and the owner of the steelmaking workshop is Zhang Mu, the second son of Lao Zhangtou, Zhang Mu shook his head and denied.

"Since it is the young master's request, it can naturally be done, which time did the young master miss it!" The old Zhang Tou cut the railway.

"Why don't you use the method of casting Buddha?" Zhang Mu proposed that the Mo family had undertaken the Buddha casting business of the Buddhist family, and the Buddhist family was so happy, and the bigger the Buddha statue was built, the better, so naturally it was impossible to make all the real materials, and all of them were cast hollow.

"As long as I wait for the needle to be cast, I rotate it, and it forms a hollow." Zhang Mu talked about hollow skills, but he came as soon as he opened his mouth, like a few treasures.

Lao Zhangtou's heart moved, and he nodded: "This strategy can also be tried." ”

"Since it is to treat the eldest grandson queen, it is natural to use the best steel of the Mo family!" Zhang Mu said proudly, under the leadership of Zhang Mu, a group of craftsmen from the Mo family came to the workshop that produced steel cables for the Weishui Bridge. Everyone bowed their heads, this place does have the best steel in Mojia Village.

Merton led the group to the blazing steel-making furnace, looked at the dark red rolling molten iron slurry, and said aloud: "Everyone, let's begin!" ”

Under the leadership of Zhang Mu, the craftsmen worked together to make needle-shaped molds in the shortest possible time.

Lao Zhangtou personally operated the red-hot flowing molten slurry into the small mold opening, but found that they thought too simply, such a small entrance was filled with air, and it could not be injected at all, even if it was barely injected, such a thin steel wire had quickly cooled and formed, even if it was rotated vigorously, it could not form a hollow.

The first attempt by the Mohist craftsmen ultimately failed, and the hollow casting method could not be used in places with large needle holes.

"Why don't we try it with drilling." Tie Ping frowned and said, Tie Ping is also a rising star of the Mo family's craftsman generation, and he presides over the four-wheeled carriage workshop on weekdays, and the most commonly used method is drilling.

Lao Zhangtou hesitated: "It is common for wood to be soft and drilled, but if we can turn the size of the steel needle, I am afraid it will be difficult to write!" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to try!" Tie Ping said with confidence.

It turned out that Tieping also failed, such a thin steel needle and not to mention whether there was such a tie and hard brick, and it was easy to break the steel needle, and it was impossible to operate at all. In the end, Tie Ping only drilled a steel pipe the thickness of a small thumb to intersect.

Lao Zhangtou said hatefully: "The young master made the hollow needle to save the queen's mother, not to murder the queen's mother, do you want to pierce a hole in the queen's phoenix body with such a thick steel pipe?" ”

Tie Ping suddenly fled, helplessly spread his hands, this is already the most advanced level of drilling method.

"For today's plan, there is only one way, and that is the roll method!" A Mo craftsman said cautiously.

"Roll method!" Lao Zhangtou's heart moved, he is very familiar with the roll method, just smash the iron sheet thin, and then keep beating, slowly curl it until it forms a circle, in the previous era of backward technology, want to make round items usually use the roll method.

"Such a small syringe can also be used using the roll method." Tie Ping said with some indignation. He didn't believe that the problems that he hadn't solved with the drilling method could be solved by the most backward reel method.

Zhang Mu said cautiously: "Now in Chang'an City, the best at using the roll method is the public loser, and the public loser builds the chimney of the public furnace, which is the roll method." ”

Lao Zhangtou raised his eyebrows and said: "Nonsense, the craftsman of the roll method can't do it, I think the old man was best at building rolls, and he also used to ask for advice." ”

Although the relationship between the public loser and the Mo family has eased, they are still competing with each other, secretly comparing, and Lao Zhangtou is not willing to be compared by the public loser.

At the moment, Lao Zhangtou was not to be outdone, picked up the hammer and copied the old technique, and began to use the drum method to create a cylinder with a large needle tip.

I have to say that Lao Zhangtou's skills are extraordinary, and under his superb skills, a cylinder the size of a needle is quickly formed.

"The master is amazing!" A group of Mo craftsmen complimented one after another.

Lao Zhangtou couldn't help but show a trace of pride, but when he finished assembling the hollow cylinder and the injection equipment that had already been built, he found an embarrassing problem when he personally experimented, that is, the hollow steel needle made by the drum method has very poor rigidity and is easy to bend, and there is a more serious problem, that is, the hollow needle made by the drum method has very poor sealing and is easy to leak.

"Let's ask the loser!" Although Lao Zhangtou is unwilling to bow to the public loser, this is related to the illness of the eldest grandson queen, and there is naturally a little hope for success as soon as possible.

Public loser!

The public loser has been living very moist recently, a winter, is the best-selling season of the public loser, the order of the public loser can be said to be received softly, coupled with the construction of the bank treasury of the Mojia Bank, but also the reputation of the public loser, come to find the public loser to build the silver treasury of the family countless, coupled with the new locks of the public loser, not only received a large number of orders for the four-wheeled carriage, but also is sought after by the people.

With these three pillars, the public loser has really gained a firm foothold in Chang'an City.

"The Mo family asks for help!" When the public loser received the Mo family's request for help, he couldn't help but be surprised.

You must know that although the public loser is in the mix, but the Mo family is still far behind, and the Mo family asks for help from the public loser, which naturally makes the public loser very surprised.

"Hahaha, the Mo family still has today!" The public loser laughed heartily.

Although Gong Yihong was unexpected, he did not get carried away, but said with a straight face: "Don't be careless, even the utensils that are difficult to live in Mojia Village are not easy to do." ”

Gong Yihao on the side nodded solemnly, only those who really understand the Mo family know how powerful the Mo family's craftsmanship is and how deep the ink skills are accumulated.

"Hollow needle!"

When the three of them saw the Mo family's request, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Are you sure this is not the Mo family deliberately embarrassing us!" The male loser frowned.

Gong Yihong shook his head and said, "I heard that the Mo family has jointly launched the Qinglong Project with the doctors for the condition of the eldest grandson empress, and I think that the hollow needle here is the key to it." ”

Now Empress Changsun's illness is not a secret in Chang'an City, and the public loser has naturally known about it.

"It's really effortless, the Mo family tried their best to squeeze out the Buddhist family, and wanted to invite the queen, but in the end it was stuck at this step, if my public loser can make it, wouldn't it overshadow the Mo family." The public loser said in his heart.

"I'm afraid that this so-called hollow needle is not so easy to build, otherwise it won't stump the Mo family." Gong Yu Hao said solemnly.

"Whether you succeed or not, you will know if you try it!" Gong lost Honglang said.

This is related to the illness of the eldest grandson empress, if he can make meritorious contributions in it, he can not only overshadow the Mo family in reputation, but also curry favor with the emperor, this is a rare opportunity for public losers.

At the moment, Gong Yu Hong personally operated and used the most exquisite roller method of Gong Yu to create a hollow needle.

I have to say that the public loser does have a few times, under the superb craftsmanship of the public loser, the hollow needle created is indeed better than the old Zhang Tou a lot in terms of rigidity, and the problem of water leakage is still not solved.

In the Mo Hospital, the drug test of people with qi diseases stopped, and the hollow needle of the public loser failed, and slowly, rumors began to circulate in Chang'an City that the Mo family's Qinglong plan failed.

"If it weren't for the Mo family's obstruction, if the Buddhist family prayed for the queen's mother, maybe the queen's condition would have improved!" In the Huichang Temple, the abbot of Huichang snorted coldly.

The debate machine folded his hands and said: "What the master said is very true, life and death have a life and wealth in the sky, only the Buddha can bless all beings, and the Mo family is vainly trying to change his life against the sky, which is simply a mantis arm as a car, and he does not measure his own strength." ”

The abbot of Huichang couldn't help but show a trace of pride, the illness of the eldest grandson queen was not a secret, but it was a great opportunity for their Buddhist family to have already planned, but who expected that it was obstructed by the Mo family, and now it was time for the Mo family to ask for their own hardships.

"You go to the Changsun Mansion and tell the eldest grandson Chong that if the Mo family prays for the eldest grandson queen one day later, it will not be good to delay the queen's illness!" Abbot Huichang showed a sneer.

Now that the Mo family's Qinglong plan has failed, as long as the Gongsun family lights a fire in the imperial court, it will definitely be able to make the Mo family walk around without eating and delay the illness of the eldest grandson Empress, this responsibility even the Mo family can't afford.

"The abbot is wise! This time, the imperial court will definitely allow my Buddhist family to build a temple to pray for the queen. The debate machine showed a hint of excitement and said, once this matter is completed, the prestige of the Buddhist family in Chang'an City will definitely rise to a higher level.

Abbot Huichang shook his head and said, "Last time, three thousand six hundred monks were needed to pray for the queen's blessings, but now that it has been delayed for such a long time, I'm afraid it's not enough!" ”

The debate machine couldn't help but pause, and instantly understood the meaning of the abbot of Huichang, obviously taking the opportunity to fight for more benefits for the Buddhist family.

"I understand!" After the debate, he got up and rushed to the eldest grandson's mansion.

With the strength of the Changsun Mansion, the court once again rose to impeach Morton to delay his illness and ask for the construction of a temple for the Empress Changsun to pray for blessings, and this time the momentum was even greater than the last time.

"It's nonsense!" Li Shimin snorted coldly, if it weren't for the sake of the ministers and the eldest grandson, he would have issued an order to reprimand him a long time ago.

"Your Majesty is angry!" Pound on the side hurriedly reassured.

Li Shimin calmed down the irritability in his heart a little, and frowned: "How is the progress of the Blue Dragon Plan?" ”

Pang De bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the medicine has been developed, but the effect is not good, and the only hope now is that the Mo family's hollow needle will be made." ”

"Hollow needle!" Although Li Shimin doesn't know how to ink, he knows the difficulty just by listening to the name, the needle itself is already very small, and it is even more difficult to make a hollow needle.

"Mo family, I hope you don't disappoint me!" Li Shimin muttered. He didn't give the order to urge Moton, Mojia Village is already the highest place in the world today, if even Mojia Village can't make hollow needles, other places don't need him to think about it at all.

As the news spread little by little, the matter of the blocked hollow needle in Mojia Village soon spread throughout Chang'an City, and no one thought that the famous Mo family would fall on an inconspicuous hollow needle.

In Mojia Village. Since the defeat of the public loser, the pressure on Lao Zhangtou has suddenly doubled, and his hair does not know how much gray, but he is still helpless against the hollow needle.

On this day, Lao Zhangtou wandered around for inspiration for or making hollow needles, and before he knew it, he came to the underground glass workshop of the R&D department of the Mo family.

"Hurry up, blow and stretch quickly, and be sure to let Mo Wu's customized curved neck bottle be completed." The two Mo family disciples cooperated with each other, and soon a large ball of red incandescent glass was pulled hard under the skillful cooperation of the Mo family children, and a slender swan-neck-shaped curved neck bottle was born.

After a series of work last night, the two of them will find that Lao Zhangtou is staring at them intently.

"Master Zhang!" The two said respectfully.

However, Lao Zhangtou didn't seem to hear the call of the two, and couldn't help but recall the picture of the two pulling the curved neck bottle and swan neck just now.

"Elongated! Isn't it getting thinner? "Lao Zhangtou was suddenly enlightened, and suddenly realized that with the existing technology, they did directly make hollow needles, but as long as they stretched the hollow steel pipes, it was not easy to get extremely fine hollow needles?"

At that moment, Lao Zhangtou couldn't wait to rush to the steel mill and tell all his ideas.

"How to elongate the hollow steel pipe, isn't it broken as soon as it is pulled." Zhang Mu frowned.

"It's really an elm head, of course, it's not pulled when it solidifies, but it's burned red like making a glass tube." Old Zhang Tou scolded.

Zhang Mu's eyes lit up suddenly, he had naturally seen the appearance of glass manufacturing, and suddenly realized that at the moment, he immediately imitated the glass process, and soon, a slender hollow steel pipe that had just cooled had been made.

As the sharp cutter sparkled everywhere, soon, a qualified seamless hollow syringe appeared in front of Lao Zhangtou.

"The emperor lives up to his wishes, the Mo family finally made a hollow needle, this time, the queen mother is saved." Lao Zhangtou picked up the hollow needle as if he had received a treasure, and hurried towards Chang'an City to report the good news to Morton.

……………………

Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached the Mo family, if it weren't for the Mo family's insistence, advocating some Qinglong plan, delaying the queen's condition, the queen might have improved!" This time, Changsun Chong personally took the lead in impeaching Merton, gritting his teeth.

"Chong'er, your filial piety, the queen will be very pleased if she knows." Li Shimin looked at Changsun Chong and couldn't help flashing a hint of softness, no matter what Changsun Chong's purpose was, but his starting point was for Empress Changsun.

"My aunt is seriously ill, Chong'er can't wait to replace her, these days, Chong'er copied Buddhist scriptures day and night, and prayed for her aunt with a little effort, hoping that the Buddha can bless her aunt with a desperate life and improve her health." The eldest grandson Chong said with a look of loyalty and filial piety.

"You've got a heart!" Li Shimin nodded.

An imperial historian has already been instructed by the eldest grandson Chong, and he made his debut out from the crowd: "Since the Mo family's Qinglong plan has failed, and the condition of the eldest grandson queen has not improved, I will wait for the monk to enter the Tao and ask the Buddha to bless the queen's mother's recovery, and it is not too late to make amends." ”

"Yes, because the Mo family has been delayed for so many days, and he has refused the Buddhist family to pray for blessings before, in case he angers the Buddha, please also ask Your Majesty, the breadth of monks, to be foolproof."

……………………

While many officials impeached Merton, they did not forget to strive for more benefits for the Buddhist family, and the situation in the entire court suddenly turned one-sided, and the wind of re-worshipping the Buddha and praying for blessings rose sharply.

At this moment, a sound sounded.

"Your Majesty! Mohou asks to see! ”

"Mo Jiazi, he dared to come because of the queen's illness!" The officials were in an uproar.

"Announce him to the court!" Li Shimin's heart moved.

With a voice, Mo Dun, who was criticized by everyone, suddenly appeared outside the Taiji Palace, without looking at the hundred officials, strode forward, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Mo family's Qinglong plan has been successful, and several patients with qi diseases similar to the queen's mother in the Mo Hospital have been discharged." ”

Suddenly, everyone was silent, and the patients with qi disease in the Mo Hospital had been discharged, so didn't that mean that the queen's condition was saved!
