Chapter 80: Chicken Ribs? Drumstick!

In the palace, Yu Wenwen was studying things in the room, and he was fiddling with a wooden box on the case, which contained a suspected prism and a lens group composed of two fragments of glass bowls, which was the beamsplitter made by the alchemy Taoist Liu Yanggu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The beamsplitter is a necessary equipment for spectral analysis, and after experiencing the initial excitement, Yuwenwen also calmed down, after all, with the theoretical and technical level of this era, even if spectral analysis appears, its role is limited.

In other words, this spectroscopy (spectral analysis) is chicken ribs for him.

Chemical analysis is qualitative, the second is quantitative, qualitative is to determine what substances are in the sample, quantitative is to determine how much the substance content in the sample, but in his lifetime, Yuwenwen does not dare to hope that this primitive spectroscope can do that step of quantification.

This requires strong support in chemistry, physics (optics), and mathematics-related fields, and he is not a top student, and the knowledge level of chemistry, physics, and mathematics stays in high school, and how much he can recall is a problem.

Spectroscopy appeared in the nineteenth century, which was the industrial age, and there were many chemical and physical technologies for research, and spectroscopic analysis was gradually perfected.

Quantitative, accurate analysis of the metal composition content in ores and alloys may not be possible in this lifetime.

Even if it can't be done quantitatively, it won't affect ironmaking and steelmaking, anyway, it's not to make carburizing armor, build a multi-riveting and steaming steel artifact, and make knives, guns, arrows, and iron plows, shovels, hoes, and pickaxes at the current smelting level.

The key is qualitative, Yu Wenwen thinks that qualitative is useful, at least to know whether there is iron, copper, lead or gold and silver in the ore, that is, to assist in prospecting, which is better than the ancient method of prospecting.

But after thinking about it quietly, I feel that relying on spectral analysis to assist in prospecting is a bit of a chicken rib, and this cross-era spectral analysis seems to be far from quenching the thirst of the near.

In ancient times, there were various names for all kinds of ores, and it was difficult to 'seamlessly connect' with the mineral names of later generations, and Yu Wenwen did not plan to become a prospecting expert, his only concern was only four metals: gold, silver, copper, and iron, so it was these four ores that needed to be explored.

Gold, silver and copper are money, no one can't get along with money, and iron is an indispensable resource for building weapons and tools, Yu Wenwen only feels that no amount of iron is enough.

Iron is the most precedent, but even so, he doesn't have to go to prospecting, 'knowing' there is a super-large iron mountain and a copper mountain of a certain size, just near Bazhou, and sooner or later he will have to grab it.

Daye, a super iron mine, has been mined on a large scale for nearly a thousand years since the Tang Dynasty, until the Westernization Movement of the late Qing Dynasty, and Hanyeping Company used Daye's iron ore as raw material to make steel.

Daye near the White Pheasant Mountain is rich in copper ore, in the history of the Sui Ping Chen, the Jin King Yang Guang in the White Pheasant Mountain copper smelting coinage, these two places are on the opposite side of Bazhou, Chen Guoyingzhou Wuchang County boundary, is Yuwenwen dream of the place.

As a result, Chen Guo was indifferent to this treasure, and there was no sign of large-scale development, which made him feel that he was occupying the pit and not.

With the super iron mine, not to mention that the army's weapons and armor have become a reality, and the ironization of civilian tools is not a dream, iron plows, shovels, iron sickles, iron hoes, and iron picks are fully popularized, whether it is farming or building water conservancy, it is twice the result with half the effort.

In this way, the only use of spectral analysis is to find gold and silver mines, and there are some gold and silver mines in the Dabie Mountains, mobilize mountain people to explore everywhere, and then bring the ore for analysis, at least to determine whether there is gold and silver in it.

No one dislikes gold and silver mines, but it takes time from exploration to mining, which is not a very urgent thing for Yu Wenwen, who makes money with glass mirrors, and it is also to make money, and the status of the two cannot be compared.

The glass mirror is a send-off for Yuwenwen, allowing him to earn back a lot of money in a short period of time at a very small cost, and single-handedly supporting the important task of sending troops to pay and raise soldiers, and finding gold and silver mines is the icing on the cake.

Looking at the primitive spectroscope, Yuwen Wen was a little helpless, but the alchemy Taoist Liu Yang accidentally discovered the spectroscopy, he felt that it was going to be passed on, so he had to find something to do.

"It's like spending money on charity... No, if you make a finished product of a spectroscope and sell it to those Taoist priests who make alchemy, it will be a big deal! ”

Yu Wenwen couldn't help but be happy when he thought of this, he felt that he had found a new way to make money, although the profit may not be high, but although the ants are small, they are also meat, and no one will be disgusted with the money.

What is the alchemy diagram? Immortal! Who doesn't want to live forever these days, even if they can't really live forever, then it should always be possible to live longer, that is a huge 'market demand'.

Where can I sell the pills? Naturally, they are looking for alchemists, and in the face of such a huge market demand, alchemists are naturally also painstakingly studying alchemy, and they want to refine good pills to 'serve customers'.

The alchemists of this era, similar to the chemists of later generations, naturally needed equipment and scientific research instruments to engage in chemical research and production, and Yu Wenwen felt that he could be an instrument supplier and make 'high-tech' instruments to sell to these alchemists.

The pill can't be refined, the pill eats diarrhea, and the pill eats the dead! What to do?

This Dao Leader, do you want to know what should not be more in the elixir? Want to know what shouldn't be missing in the elixir? This has a treasure spectroscope, which can help the Taoist master to see everything!

This baby is not expensive, it is only a few thousand, a treasure that can peek through the heavens, the Taoist chief doesn't want to?

If you don't have enough money, you sell your kidney... It's enough to sell the elixir! Still not enough money? Let pilgrims buy it and donate it, anyway, believers donate land and land, and it's no problem to donate a spectroscope, right?

Thinking of this blood-boiling advertising slogan, Yu Wenwen seemed to see countless copper coins pouring towards him, thinking about the alchemists queuing up to buy them, how energetic it must be.

Are alchemists poor? Poor! Are alchemists rich or not? Rich!

Just as the world divides the rich and the poor, and the alchemists also divide the rich and the poor, there are many Taoist priests like Liu Yang who don't even have a broken Taoist temple, but there are also many Taoist priests who have ancestral Taoist temples and a large number of pilgrims to offer sesame oil money, so there are great business opportunities inside.

Thinking of business opportunities, Yu Wenwen's eyes narrowed with a smile, and his brain spun rapidly.

The principle of the beamsplitter is very simple, a prism is responsible for light splitting, and a small telescope composed of two lenses is responsible for magnifying the spectrum.

The most important thing is the packaging, the shell of the beamsplitter should be pulled by the wind, the gold inlaid with jade is too vulgar, it is best to be a variety of fantasy wind, there must be a fairy spirit, the Taoist priests pursue immortality, the taste is very high and tricky, not easy to serve.

What cranes, Ganoderma lucidum, these patterns must be there, and it is best to have a naked woman... Well, fairies and the like, in short, the quality of the spectroscope should be excellent, resistant to falling and bumping, after all, this baby is not good to teach each other, and it will be passed down from generation to generation.

No, it is not allowed to be passed down from generation to generation, or every Taoist temple will not buy a spectroscope, who will reason with it?

There is also a problem that the beamsplitter will be copied, others will not make glass, it is inevitable that the soil method will be directly ground crystal, so the core components should be integrated, and they will be broken if they are dismantled, and they will have to be bought again if they are broken...

It's not enough to just sell spectroscopes, alchemy supplies also have to be sold, the kind of alchemy furnace (Danding, Dan kettle) is too frustrating, Yu Wenwen decided to take some time to design an alchemy furnace with "21st century fantasy style", so that those alchemy Taoists want to buy it when they see it.

The name also has to pull the wind, what virtual Tianding, Shennong Ding, Qiankun Ding, Panlong Ding are OK, how to use the atmosphere, the quality can not be too good, lest you buy one is enough, but the quality can not be too bad, this is to smash the signboard.

Thinking of this, Yu Wenwen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind: Alchemists are ancient chemists, so glass experimental utensils can also be used.

What beakers, flat-bottomed/round-bottomed flasks, test tubes, Erlenmeyer flasks can be sold, as well as thermometers, these things have been made in small batches in Yuwenwen's workshop, and they are used for experiments in their own laboratories, and there is no problem in increasing production.

But he was worried that these things would make people feel like a tiger with wings, and if they were given to a genius to make something terrible to harm him, it would be more than worth the loss.

Although it is unlikely, if a genius makes white phosphorus in batches, the white phosphorus incendiary bomb will be deadly!

The more Yu Wenwen thought about it, the more he let go of his thoughts, he almost couldn't take it back, but one thing he was sure of was that he wanted to make money, raise Liu Yang and his apprentices, study this spectroscopy every day, optimize the spectroscope, and send more people to study together, and he could afford to raise only a dozen or so people.

All glass experimental utensils are used, and an alchemy experiment is formed... In the chemistry laboratory, spectroscopy (spectroscopic analysis) can reach the level of resolving common metals, and technically can simply assist in prospecting, then he is satisfied.

Then it is to commercialize the spectroscope and sell it to those old people who are obsessed with alchemy, which is the 'right way', and it can be regarded as contributing to the alchemy cause in the Central Plains.

Then it is sold with a cheats book, which is called "Peeping into the Heavenly Machine Spectroscopy", which briefly introduces the principle of spectral analysis, with simple spectra of several common metals, and the most important thing is to list the specific methods of observing these metals, so that users can do experiments and observe them by themselves.

As mentioned in martial arts novels, it is not enough to have a magic weapon, but to have a synchronous mental formula, so the business opportunities of cheats are unlimited, and the local tyrant Taoists who are willing to spend money to buy spectroscopes don't care about spending more money to buy cheats.

So the next question is: where can such a good thing be sold?

That is, the problem of advertising, it is not easy to 'advertise widely' these years, especially in the industry of alchemy, ordinary people care less, and it is not easy to let the Taoist priests in the world know the treasure of the spectroscope.

I don't know if there is, then I don't have the idea of buying, how to let the 'practitioners' of alchemy know that there is a treasure of spectroscopes in the world, which is a problem that Yuwenwen has to face, he can't hire people to find Taoist priests all over the street, and then asked mysteriously: "Dao Chief, have you heard of spectroscopes..."

If the force is too low, it will smash the brand, so Yu Wenwen began to think about how to advertise again, and set off a trend of rushing to buy spectroscopes in the alchemy industry, and he made a lot of money.

It seems to be a chicken rib spectroscopy, but now the idea has become a commodity, and that is chicken legs!

Yuwen Wen was secretly happy, and heard some noise outside, as if someone was arguing, so he called Zhang Yu and asked, "What's going on outside?" (To be continued.) )
