Chapter Thirty-Eight: Alarm the Emperor Glucose Success

Father-in-law Li came to see Zhang Zhimu several times and was blocked outside the Yaogang office building, and he finally called Yang Yulin at the doorman, which was still Yang Yulin's face when he helped the Yaogang people once. Yang Yulin told him that Zhang Zhimu was giving classes to people in the past few days, and no one was allowed to disturb him. He asked Yang Yulin where Zhang Zhimu was teaching people, and how could Yang Yulin tell him. The anxious father-in-law Li wanted to go to Zhang Zhimu's house to find him at night, but he hesitated again and again and still didn't go. He knew that Zhang Zhimu didn't want to see him now, and his own hard way would make him even more annoying. It may be that if you do this, let alone talk about things, it will be even worse for people to refuse, and it will be even worse in the future. Fortunately, people like Gonggong Li don't know what's going on with embarrassment.

After the lecture, Zhang Zhimu, who was relaxed, returned to the office and prepared to go home with Yang Yulin. Yang Yulin's body is no longer inconvenient now.

Yang Yulin, who was holding her stomach, told Zhang Zhimu: "That annoying father-in-law Li has come to you several times, but I haven't told you. After the lecture, you should ask him what is the matter, right? ”

"He didn't come for any good thing!" Zhang Zhimu said.

"That's right! I'm going to be polite to him for the sake of him helping us this time. Yang Yulin said, "Hey! Why do you think he's still so obsessed with being a eunuch? ”

"Huh! Eunuchs are also human beings," Zhang Zhimu said, "he can't do anything, it's still okay to move his heart, right?" ”

"Is it that the matter over there in our Datong has made the emperor anxious?" Yang Yulin asked.

"I guess so!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Give him a call, and I'll see him tomorrow." ”

"Good!" Yang Yulin agreed and said, "However, when you see him in the future, you have to listen to my arrangement and meet him in the small conference room." There will be no major events in the future, you don't have to see him in person, I'll deal with him. ”

"Good! I'll listen to your arrangement," Zhang Zhimu said, "but I don't think it's time for you to go home and rest?" ”

"Oops! My mother also advised me to go home and rest. But if I stay at home, won't I suffocate me? "Yang Yulin is an idle person.

Early the next morning, Gonggong Li was waiting for Zhang Zhimu in front of the Yaogang office building.

Seeing Zhang Zhimu, Gonggong Li said, "Oops! I can't even get into your building right now. ”

Yang Yulin was not polite, "Your Forbidden City will be entered casually?" ”

"This, this can't be compared!" Father-in-law Li was a little choked.

Zhang Zhimu hurriedly interrupted, "Yes! How can this be compared? Come on! Let's go inside. ”

According to his previous habit, Gonggong Li followed Zhang Zhimu into his office. However, this time, Yang Yulin pointed with his hand and said to him: "Gonggong Li, please here!" Mr. Zhang has something to do now. I'll see you in a moment. "Invite Gonggong Li to the small conference room.

Gonggong Li didn't figure out what routine was today, "Quack!" He smiled wryly. I had to sit down in the small conference room. Fortunately, someone brought the tea right away today, which made Gonggong Li feel a little more comfortable.

Zhang Zhimu came to the small conference room, and Yang Yulin came in with two secretaries. The secretaries put the pen and paper away, and Zhang Zhimu walked in and sat down at the conference table opposite Gonggong Li.

"Hey! I heard Yulin say, you came to me these two days? As soon as he sat down, Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Yes! But what kind of formation are you? Gonggong Li pointed at Yang Yulin and asked.

"That's right! Your father-in-law Li is speaking on behalf of the emperor, and I stipulate that in the future, the reception of you should be formal, and our conversation should also be recorded. Zhang Zhimu said.

"This and this, what we say is a secret, and it is inconvenient for others to be here." Gonggong Li is not used to this formation.

"Father-in-law Li, it's good if you get used to it. If there is really any secret, the emperor will notify you by secret letter. Yang Yulin unceremoniously pushed Gonggong Li back. At the same time, he also told Gonggong Li that you don't know what the secret is.

Gonggong Li was speechless all of a sudden, coughed a few dry coughs, squeezed a smile and said, "Then it depends on how convenient you are!" Then he put away his smile and said, "The emperor has a bit of an urgent letter, asking why you sent troops to Yanbei Beitong?" Zhang Dongjia, this is not a joke! After speaking, he stared at Zhang Zhimu with his eyes and looked at Zhang Zhimu's expression.

"Humph!" Zhang Zhimu laughed a few times, turned around and asked Yang Yulin: "Yulin, why have I had something in the past two days, and there is such a big thing at home?" ”

"Impossible!" Yang Yulin said, "Whoever transfers the army will also talk to you." Why don't I ask Uncle Chen what's going on? After speaking, Yang Yulin got up and went to make a call.

Zhang Zhimu and Yang Yulin's play did not have any loopholes, and Gonggong Li couldn't see anything.

The phone was connected, and Yang Yulin asked, "Uncle Chen!" Have we sent an army to the northern part of Yanbeitong? Father-in-law Li came and asked my brother what was going on? ”

Father-in-law Li pricked up his ears to listen to the voice on the phone, but the voice was too small to be heard at all.

Yang Yulin put down the phone, came back and sat down, and said to Gonggong Li: "It's all you guys from the East Factory and the West Factory who are doing some things to fool the emperor." At the beginning of the spring of this year, Dai Wang and Jiang Zongbing begged us to send people to help train their army. We sent some instructors over to help them train the army. When it comes to you, it's like sending troops. If we send troops, will you be able to stop them? ”

After listening to Yang Yulin's ridicule, Gonggong Li hurriedly said with a smiling face: "That's good!" That's it! ”

Zhang Zhimu also said: "Gonggong Li, don't do these things to catch the wind and shadows." If you continue like this, everyone will be in danger, and if nothing happens, something will happen. I've heard that the food and salary in Datong have been in arrears for a long time, and if it continues like this, something will happen. ”

"Oops! The emperor doesn't have any silver in his hand! Gonggong Li said, "I still need your help!" ”

"Hey! If it weren't for us to receive grain and grass over there, they would have dispersed a long time ago. Zhang Zhimu said, "I'm afraid that those ministers will know about this and fan the flames again." We're not afraid, we're used to it. But Jiang Zongbing is the official of the court after all, don't force them to rebel. ”

"Yes, Zhang Dongjia, I will report the situation to the emperor immediately." Gonggong Li said, "Also, every time the emperor writes a letter, he asks, when can you send troops to suppress thieves?" ”

"You know that. We sent troops to Hanzhong, and we were confronting the thieves along the Han River. The thieves carried away all the grain in Hanzhong. We are now mobilizing food to rescue the people of Hanzhong. Otherwise, we defeated Hanzhong but let the people of Hanzhong starve to death, aren't we guilty? Zhang Zhimu said, "In fact, we have very few troops in Hanzhong, which is actually a bluff, and it is completely to fight against the Ming army in Jiangnan." We weren't ready for it, and we took advantage of the adventures that the thieves feared of us. Once the thieves discover our weaknesses, it is also very dangerous. ”

"But, Zhang Dongjia, Jiangnan is too dangerous. As soon as Zhenjiang was lost, a major rout began on the Jiangnan side. You can't watch them take over the whole of Jiangnan, can you? Gonggong Li still wanted to try to persuade Zhang Zhimu to send troops.

Zhang Zhimu said: "I have a suggestion, there is someone available in the emperor." ”

"Who?"

"Zheng Zhilong, this person's annual income is more than 10 million taels of silver. There are countless troops and countless warships. More importantly, if Li Zicheng continues to advance southward, his interests will be threatened. The emperor gave him a holy decree. Let him be famous, and he will definitely send troops. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Oops! Zhang Dongjia is right. Gonggong Li clapped his hands and said, "But Zheng Zhilong can earn tens of millions of taels of silver every year?" During the stable years, the imperial court only earned a few million taels of silver every year. ”

"We've learned, it's just more, not less." Zhang Zhimu said, "You always stare at those of us who can see it. In fact, Zheng Zhilong is the richest. You must know that during the Great Song Dynasty, the annual income of the imperial court was tens of millions of taels of silver. It was the ban on the sea that was carried out by the Ming Dynasty and caused too many tariffs to be collected. Zheng Zhilong's money is mainly this. You tell the emperor that if Zheng Zhilong only knows how to earn money, the court will not make a move, and when we can ease up, we will send troops to destroy these dogs who only know the benefits of the court and do not contribute to the court. ”

"Good! I'll report these things to the emperor right away! Gonggong Li said.

When sending Father-in-law Li out, Zhang Zhimu saw that there were many people in the corridor carrying ladders and were busy. Asked, "Yulin, what is this for?" ”

"Replace the fluorescent lamps. Yang Chang said that he should first replace our Yaogang office building with fluorescent lamps. Yang Yulin said, "However, the light of the fluorescent lamp is good, and it is completely white." I'm also optimistic about their neon signs. I think it's nice to decorate it with neon signs in front of our door. ”

"Don't do this in front of the office building, let's be serious in our office!" Zhang Zhimu said, "It's good to have flowers and greenery in places such as cultural palaces and stations." ”

"Huh! I guess you won't agree. Yang Yulin said with a smile.

Father-in-law Li, who was next to him, "Alas! He sighed and didn't speak. But this sigh contains too many things. The emperor over there was so worried that he didn't want to eat, but here he was smiling and changing into fluorescent lamps, and even the electric lights were not good. Gonggong Li's heart is so sour!

After sending off Father-in-law Li, Yang Yulin asked Zhang Zhimu: "Brother! I see that you came back from a lecture yesterday with a smile on your face, why are you so happy? ”

"You know, Qingfengzi and Yangchang they came up with a semiconductor triode, which is better than that electron tube triode." Zhang Zhimu said.

"We have reported this matter in the "Kiln Gang Reference". I don't know how easy to use this thing. Yang Yulin said.

"To put it simply, after the mass production of this thing in the future, the most fashionable thing in the kiln should be to walk on the street and listen to music with a radio in your hand!" Zhang Zhimu gestured and said.

"Huh! There are still a few people in the back who are dragging wires, and a few people are carrying batteries. Yang Yulin thought it was funny.

"With semiconductor transistors, you don't need it. Semiconductors will be very power-efficient. The flashlight battery can be listened to for several days in a row. Zhang Zhimu said.

"In that case, I'll buy one for our mother. She can hold one when she goes out to bask in the sun and chat with the old sisters. Yang Yulin said.

"That's a fashionable mother-in-law." Zhang Zhimu said.

Back in the office, Yang Yulin said, "You still call Li Yunhe, he seems to be looking for you." ”

"I'm going to go to the command center and talk to Uncle Chen about Datong. We sent Gonggong Li away today, so we can only buy a little time over there. Soon Grandpa Li will be back again. Zhang Zhimu said, "Let's talk about Li Yunhe's affairs when I come back." ”

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He all laughed after hearing Zhang Zhimu say how he and Yang Yulin sent Gonggong Li away. Ouyang He said: "The Li Gong Guild will report the matter to the emperor. The emperor will also let the Xichang fans on the Datong side investigate again. When the emperor gets the report again, he will ask Gonggong Li to come and ask. After this circle, Qin Peng's affairs should be almost done. ”

"I think there is a reason for them to act in the future. Yes, it was normal for our kiln gang to send people to help with training, but it was falsely accused of having different intentions, and we had to take action to protect ourselves. Chen Yufeng said.

"The royal guards and Jiang Zongbing's personal soldiers have all replaced with our pistols." Ouyang He said, "Li Jing's special has trained them to cope with it for a while. It's okay to keep them safe. Mr. Lu had already arranged for them to live in the Yaogang house. If they don't want to live in Datong, they can come to Yaogang. However, most people are reluctant to leave when they arrive at the kiln. Hehe! Even the Mongols lived well in the kiln. ”

"Huh! It was cheaper for Prince Torrey to their hotel. Chen Yufeng said, "Originally, they were enemies with the Tumuts, but they are friends here." However, according to the news sent by Zhou Yuji, Prince Tori and they don't seem to be too happy that we have occupied Ordos. We're a little wary of it right now. ”

"It's understandable, they're Mongols anyway. Some rabbits die and the emotions of the fox are inevitable. However, they will not be our enemies. I'm worried about why the Mongols are so honest. From the west to the north, it was strange that they had not been found to be harassing. Zhang Zhimu said.

"There is a great possibility that they and the Manchus will act together when we march south." Ouyang He said.

"Actually, that's the best." Chen Yufeng said, "The area of our southern expedition looks very large, but we don't need too many troops. I don't think it's better to lure them to come with us when we are on a southern expedition, and we will beat them for a while and dare not touch us. In this way, we can buy time to take back all the Jiangnan in Sichuan. ”

"Of course it would be nice if it could." Zhang Zhimu said, "Otherwise, we will always guard against them." ”

"Militarily, we are not worried about them at all. More importantly, our opponents know that we are very good. But they don't know how far they are from us right now. This is also one of the reasons why it is easy to attract them over. Ouyang He said, "I have been paying attention to the long-distance test of our car. They are now almost in Baotou, and most of the cars are still moving. I want Li Yunhe to get a batch of cars as soon as they improve. In the steppe, these cars, mounted machine guns are much stronger than horses. Cars can be both maneuverable and powerful. Only a rifle can be used on a horse. ”

"It seems that Mr. Ouyang has been eyeing the car for a long time." Zhang Zhimu said, "When they come back, we will let them improve their off-road performance." In particular, the strength of the suspension damping mechanism should be strengthened. At that time, the grassland was not the world of horses. The Mongols relied on the agility and strong crossbows that they relied on were useless. ”

"I think it's a good powertrain. Things are simple, and they are more adaptable. Add a sidecar and you can mount a light machine gun. You can pass on any road surface. We can use armored vehicles and artillery trucks as backups, and cars and power vehicles for maneuvering. Combined with cavalry, the effect will be better. Chen Yufeng said.

Zhang Zhimu knew that what they were studying now was already a matter of motorized troops. A motorized army against cavalry, it is simply an adult against a child, and a tiger against a rabbit.

Li Yunhe really had something to do when he came to Zhang Zhimu, and it was a few good things.

One is the grab excavator, which has been tried at the Hutuo River Reservoir site for a period of time after repeated improvements, although the power seems to be a little insufficient, but it has made Tang Jingyao like a treasure, urging Li Yunhe to hurry up production. This thing is combined with a tracked transporter, which is an excellent combination for transporting earth and rock. That bucket can fill a wagon with one bucket, and two or three buckets from a tracked transporter. Zhang Zhimu knew that the usefulness of this thing was simply too great. With these for large-scale projects, it is simply like a tiger with wings.

However, Zhang Zhimu knew that the most needed thing at present was heavy-duty trucks, so Zhang Zhimu asked Li Yunhe to develop high-power engines as soon as possible to meet the needs of trucks. The car that came back from the long-distance test can be put into production after summarizing and improving, but it can only be a car that pulls a few people to travel, at most it is used instead of a carriage to pull people. It is not enough to solve the needs of production and transportation.

One more thing is that the gunboat with the aluminum alloy shell with the twin engines has been launched for sea trials. However, there are still some issues that need to be addressed. For example, oil leakage, left and right engine power balance control and other things need to be debugged and solved.

Another thing is that molybdenum tubes have been produced. This made Zhang Zhimu very happy, and asked Li Yunhe to hurry up and make a delta wing according to the size he gave.

There is a problem Li Yunhe and they have not come up with a good solution, that is, the bulldozer, the excavator's bucket is too worn, and the bucket cannot always be replaced.

Zhang Zhimu's advice to them was to install bucket teeth made of tungsten alloy at the front of the bucket. If the teeth are worn, they can be replaced. This made Li Yunhe pat his head and know what to do.

Zhang Zhimu was very happy to hear these things, but Master Qingfengzi called and said that the glucose had now been made, which made Zhang Zhimu even happier. They are made by hydrolyzing starch, precipitating glucose, and then crystallizing it.

Zhang Zhimu has some understanding of glucose, and it turns out that he has a girlfriend who is a doctor and often talks about it. The main thing is that I am curious about these things. Zhang Zhimu also knows that what he knows is also fur. But Zhang Zhimu still called the 'God Hand Zhang' Zhang Bengui and Zhang Bingchen together and came to Qingfengzi's laboratory. Let them look at glucose together.

Zhang Zhimu asked Master Qingfengzi to take out a little glucose crystal, then rinsed it with water, drank some by himself, and let Zhang Bengui and Zhang Bingchen taste it too. After tasting it, they all said that if it was not as sweet as ordinary sugar, it would not taste right.

Zhang Zhimu said: "That's right! But let me tell you, this sugar is something that our body can absorb directly. If we are extremely weak, then drinking some glucose will quickly restore our strength. But you can't drink this stuff too quickly, otherwise your stomach will be upset. ”

"In the future, if our patients are too weak, will they be able to use this thing?" Zhang Bingchen asked.

"Absolutely. Those who are particularly weak can also be given intravenous injections with five percent glucose. Zhang Zhimu said.

"This intravenous injection, I heard you say, we haven't dared to conduct a test, I don't know if it will be dangerous." Zhang Bingchen said, "Our needles and rubber tubes and air filters have been done, but we didn't dare to test them." ”

"As long as the fluid is not contaminated and the patient is not thirsty (diabetic), glucose injections should be safe. You can start with animals. The key is not to inject liquid into the blood vessels. After the animal experiments are done, you can do the human experiments. Zhang Zhimu said.

"If this thing is easy to use, it is especially suitable for those patients who are unconscious and can no longer drink." Zhang Bengui said.

"Uncle Zhang is right, we can only replenish salt and water to patients with salt water, but not energy." Zhang Zhimu said, "If we can produce this thing, it will save many lives." Otherwise, there are some patients who can't eat, and we can only watch them die. ”

Qingfengzi said: "Mr. Zhang, if this thing is really like what you said. We can produce on a small scale, as long as we find the right way. It's not hard to produce. ”

"That's right! You have to produce it right away. Zhang Zhimu said, "You not only want small-scale production, but also large-scale production." It's so useful. In the future, you will have to make calcium gluconate, zinc gluconate, iron gluconate, and many other things. These things are added to food to replenish us with various elements that we lack. These things are very good for the elderly and children who are physically weak. ”

"That's good! As soon as our small-scale production began, we studied with Li Yunhe where to build a large factory to produce this thing. As long as there's cornstarch, it's fine. Qingfengzi said.

After saying this, Zhang Zhimu asked Zhang Bingchen: "Have you made any progress in penicillin?" ”

"I was about to say that." Zhang Bingchen said, "We just got some white crystals, and we're not sure if it's Penicillium." We wanted to do a bacterial test with them, and then we would do animal testing. No problem, let's do human experiments. ”

"Okay!" Zhang Zhimu said, "If you come up with penicillin, it will be a much more effective drug than sulfonamides." We will also take a big step forward in our medical standards. You have to persevere. I can't overstate the importance of this. ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry. We wanted to tell you about it when the results of the test came out. Today you let us come, I'll tell you first. I'll keep you updated on any progress. ”

The good news continues, of course Zhang Zhimu is happy, Zhang Zhimu knows all these things in his heart, and knows that they will do it sooner or later. But Zhang Zhimu is more concerned about computers. Because he knows these things, and if he doesn't do them, no one else can do them.

Now that the basic devices are available, a simple computer is sufficient. In addition, the circuits of the electron tubes for keyboard input and digital display display have also been realized, and simple calculations should be possible. However, if you can use a CRT display, you can do more complex calculations and processing. This is something that must be addressed.

Now the monitors used on the oscilloscope are all long afterglow, and changing its phosphor to a short afterglow can improve its refresh speed, and when you engage in TV in the future, you can also use it as a TV monitor. Another important question is how to display characters on a CRT screen. It's a lot of work, and you have to do it yourself. However, starting with the triode to make display buffers, character generators, and field synchronization frame synchronization signals, etc., the work to be done is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, and it is not easy. However, this threshold must be crossed, otherwise it will be difficult for computers to apply. Fortunately, the TV display has not been repaired in the past, and the basic things are still understood. It's just that the functions that used to be done in a single piece now need to be built out with discrete parts.

Zhang Zhimu knows better that this matter can't be rushed now. You have to calm down and draw the circuit diagram first.
