Mi Sanmei and Song Qing ran out in a hurry, and compared with each other who went out first.

Tang Hanlin joked: "Old Song Tou, I see, if your little Langjun doesn't work hard, the female general will be able to surpass you." ”

Song Aoxing smiled: "People are better than people's death, goods are better than goods have to be thrown, we will be in prison, if we get rid of bad rules, allow to compete for the first, and temper each other, our sacred China will be able to prosper, I am happy to see it." ”

Tang Hanlin nodded: "Song Gong is extraordinary, and he admires it." ”

At this time, Tu Xicai and the helmsman came in with a curtain and saluted Lin Xi: "Venerable Master, the team that followed the Queen Mother to explore the treasure has already set off." However, there are even fewer of us here. ”

Lin Xi asked, "How many people are there on the boat and in the beachhead camp?" ”

Tu Xicai said: "There are less than one hundred and fifty on the ship, because most of the prisoners are still there, and there are also fireworks and fire yakshas, the beachhead camp, because of the location of the queen mother's treasure, we will temporarily stop the construction, first find out the location of the treasure, if the distance is too far, the construction of the camp just now, it may be in vain, leaving a blank stockade, the soldiers of the pseudo-yuan, but they may be borrowed to attack us." ”

Lin Xi asked: "Have you contacted the boat family and fishing village of the Song people, and found some people, especially some dogs and geese, these warnings are better than people." ”

Tu Xi thought for a moment: "There were dogs and carrier pigeons in the army, but we were not trained and didn't know how to use them. In the case of geese, the folk do have roosters to watch children and geese to watch their homes, but. ”

Lin Xi said:

"That's right, war is to use all the positive factors that can be used to destroy the opponent efficiently and cost-effectively.

Military dogs are a big industry or category, but if it is a warning, geese are the best.

There is a record in the "Nanhua Sutra" of the Warring States Zhuangzi, ordering the erector to kill the goose and cook it, and the erector please say, one of them can sing and the other can not sing, please taunt and kill. The owner said: Kill the one who can't sing, which means that there was already a mature domestic goose domestication technology at that time.

It is generally believed that the goose has been domesticated by the wild goose, and the goose is a variant or subspecies of the wild goose, so it is also called the domestic goose, with a strong sense of territory, and they only eat vegetarian, which is not clear to many thieves, so the biggest advantage of the goose over the dog is that it does not eat what others throw!

Of course, the fighting power of dogs is stronger than that of geese, but what we lack now is manpower, but it is not lacking in combat effectiveness, but if we can supplement the vigilance force, it is very advantageous. ”

Tu Xicai scratched his head: "Where to find dogs and geese?" ”

The helm head Fei Zhishan interface said:

"If we are at the beach, we can find the fishing village first, and their fishing boats cannot be towed to a particularly far place on the shore, but must be close to the sea.

We Hongguanya here, facing the direction of the sea, from here out of the sea to the east, south, west, are the sea, the fish here than the fish in the inland waterway, more and larger, and often in the way of fish to gather and migrate.

It's just that the fish swim in a large area, so it is difficult to find and catch, but once you find a school of fish, the catch is bound to be extremely rich.

If the Venerable Master and Commander Tu agree, I am willing to take a group of sergeants to search for them, find them, and bring some people with me. There may be dogs and geese in their fishing villages. ”

Lin Xi said to Tu Xicai: "Then you go and arrange it." ”

Tu Xicai then said to the helmsman: "Do you have someone left behind on the ship to replace you?" ”

The helmsman said: "There are also helmsmen and pinsmen, although they are a little tired, but they can still withstand the shortened shift time." ”

Tu Xicai said: "Stop the mountain, then you go to find a soldier to follow you, go and go back quickly, and the search should not exceed 5 or 6 miles." ”

The helmsman said, "Please." We couldn't go too far, we couldn't see far at night, and if we couldn't find a familiar guide, we couldn't walk if we wanted to. We basically go along the coast to see the fishing boats first, and when we find the fishing boats, we can follow the traces to the fishing villages. ”

After saying that, after saluting, except for the hatch.

Lin Xi suddenly sighed regretfully when he heard "bad vision": "Oops, I actually forgot." ”

Everyone looked at Lin Xi, and they didn't know what Lin Xi was talking about, so they all looked at Lin Xi.

Lin Xibian said: "Do we have any transparent crystals?" Are there any craftsmen who polish things? ”

Song Xixing asked, "What kind of crystal?" ”

Lin Xi said: "Transparent, preferably without color." ”

Song Aoxing patted his head: "Sin, sin." ”

Lin Xi asked: "Old Song, don't beat yourself, what's the sin?" ”

Song Aoxing cleaned up his mood:

"Venerable Master, among the rewards given to you last time, the Queen Mother gave you a "water spirit", which is also known as the thousand-year-old ice, the Bodhisattva stone, and also known as the water jade. Because of the crystal transparency, warm and pure and regarded as a holy thing, if the spell is cast properly to "ward off evil spirits, repel ghosts and gods", is a symbol of good luck.

Song Dynasty calligraphy and painting master Mi Fu in his book "Yan History" cloud record Xinzhou crystal inkstone, in it inkstone grinding juice poured in.

Since the Venerable Master was the son of the Holy Heaven, he must have been proficient in magic, so the Empress Dowager rewarded most of the crystal utensils in the Inner Palace at that time.

It's just that for some reason, I was very worried, and I always felt that the Venerable Master was going to destroy these water spirits.

Even though I knew that the Venerable Master must have had a reason, the pain in my heart was difficult to suppress.

Please forgive your sins. ”

Lin Xi tried hard to recall, and roughly remembered that it seemed that during the Song Dynasty, the handicraft was extremely developed, and the crystal was called the water spirit at that time, and it was precisely because of the homophony of the two words that Song Aoxing could understand it at once, but it was himself, things were too busy, and he didn't want to recall these things at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi became depressed, he really wanted to polish the lens, assemble the telescope - grinding the lens, it must be to destroy the water essence products, Song Aoxing's feeling was amazingly accurate. However, you can't do without it. No, even if these things are precious, they were given to me by the Queen Mother, why is he Song Aoxing so painful? So Lin Xi looked at Song Aoxing suspiciously, but Song Aoxing was unaware.

Tang Hanlin saw Lin Xi's sight, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his head, he thought, it's bad, isn't it that Song Aoxing has been secretly greedy for ink, and the Queen Mother rewarded Lin Xi with the water spirit thing?

Thinking of this, I then thought, these bad rules, maybe the Venerable Master did not know, so he could not understand the bad rules of greedy ink, it was originally one of the means of making profits, such as formal officials, etc., and even an important means, but now the existential crisis is very big, if Lin Xi is angry, kill Song Aoxing...... Can Lin Shangren kill Song Aoxing in a fit of rage?

Tang Hanlin felt that his idea came out, which was particularly wrong, but he couldn't suppress this thought and rushed straight up, Tang Hanlin had no choice but to think about it, and after a little passing in his mind, another thought came out-

The people of the forest have just burned at least four or five thousand people!

Still on the surface of the sea, they are able to move freely!

There is still only one Xuanyi, but a loach ship!

In order to prevent himself from having such thoughts again, Tang Hanlin hurriedly shook his head and gave Song Aoxing the steps, so he took a step forward:

"Old Song, what's the matter with you, if you look at the exquisite water spirit artifacts rewarded by the Queen Mother, you can't help but play with it, although this is human nature!

Now the Venerable Master has urgent military business, so you can go and get it quickly. ”

Song Aoxing couldn't hold back his sobs: "Okay, most of these things are in the Venerable Master's inner female officials, and they are not in my hands. The Venerable Master only needs to instruct Zhen Niang and Hui Niang. ”

On the one hand, Tang Hanlin felt relieved, and on the other hand, a kind of anger rose up: "Commander Song, since it is not in your hands, why are you so frustrated, isn't it, isn't it, it makes Lin Shangren puzzled." ”

At this time, Hui Niang, the precious mother, confessed and went back to get the water essence.

Tang Hanlin still exclaimed to himself: "This is really, I have been worried about you for a long time, and I am encouraged to excuse you, who knows, you ...... People say that cats cry rats fake compassion, which one are you crying for? I'm mad at me. With that, he flicked his sleeves.

Song Aoxing was immersed in sadness, and when such a thing happened, he was a little embarrassed, squeaky and couldn't say it clearly, and everyone looked like it, so they laughed.

Lin Xi didn't care about these situations, the team was a little relaxed, at least for now, it's a good thing.

Soon, the door of the inner cabin opened, and rows of palace maids walked over with water spirit utensils, and Lin Xi immediately understood.

I saw a hat first, the hat was topped with a piece of water spirit that was almost the size of a fist, round and round, with a hole in the middle, it was rare that this hole was also smooth and clear, inside was a pillar engraved with gold, carved with bamboo and flowing water, clouds, the top of the pillar, stretched out of the water spirit ball through hole, on it is the Buddhist vajra shape......

Looking at this water spirit, Lin Xi immediately fell in love with this water spirit in his heart, as if there was a mist of water coming out of this water spirit.

But as soon as he saw the vajra, his mood immediately spoiled: "Remove this bead." ”

Everyone was immediately frightened, Zhen Niang was a little lady, and she couldn't see this kind of jewelry, so she subconsciously put her hat in her arms and kicked it into her arms, only to find out that something was wrong, so she sent it out with tears in her eyes.

Lin Xi himself has no feeling for jewelry, especially for those dzi, diamonds, turquoise, etc., who create topics and sell false dreams, and has an almost instinctive disgust, not for these things themselves, but for the people and institutions that sell these false stories.

Now seeing Zhen Niang's nostalgia for jewelry, she was a little unhappy when she went down, and said to Song Aoxing: "Find a jeweler to tear it down, don't make the beads flower." ”

Song Aoxing beckoned the jeweler to come to work.

Then, there were some water spirit rings, large and small, made of imitation jade rings, but there were more than ten pieces, Lin Xi looked at these water spirits that had been pierced through the middle, and almost wanted to cry without tears.

Fortunately, there are still two or three pieces, and the water spirit jade ring itself has a large diameter, and Lin Xi plans to cut out a lens piece of about two centimeters, which can be regarded as being able to be used.

The water essence itself is very hard and very brittle, making it difficult to make complex shapes.

Therefore, in addition to these beads and rings, most of them are crystal products that are biased towards Buddhist supplies, crystal bead inlays, crystal balls, crystal gourds, crystal prayer beads, but in addition to crystal balls, most of the others have a through hole, with this through hole, the water essence that can be used to make a lens is very limited.

In the end, Hui Niang came out with a small box, opened the box, and there were mostly white crystals, amethysts, opals, agate, jade, Tianhuang stones, and Hetian jade, and there were only two or three pieces of transparent water essence of the original stone, which was said to be the original stone, but it had been slightly renovated, and it was also the size of a fist, but the length was different.

At this moment, Lin Xi was overjoyed, took out the transparent crystal, and couldn't help but kiss it: "There is." ”

A group of palace maids' hearts jumped suddenly, and Zhen Niang was in a trance, when she suddenly heard "yes", not only subconsciously asked: "Who has?" ”

As soon as she spoke, Hui Niang and the other palace maids looked at Zhen Niang with their eyes, and Zhen Niang hurriedly coughed lightly: "Venerable Master, the maid lost her words in a trance just now, please punish the Venerable Master." ”

Lin Xi was in a good mood, and he didn't care at all: "What is there to punish here, just make it clear." Now, we have a weapon to kill the enemy, we call it a telescope, and you can also call it clairvoyance, or clairvoyance. ”

Lin Xidi Song Aoxing made a gesture and asked Song Aoxing to take the drawing board in his hand, quickly draw the structure of the telescope, and said while drawing:

"Be careful, our transparent crystal materials are limited, you must look carefully.

Telescopes, in general, are two pieces of water-polished lenses, make two cylinders, and put the large protruding lenses on the large cylinders, called objective lenses, which are to see the lenses in the distance.

You can use bamboo or metal, such as brass and bronze, to make cylinders, and the inside of the cylinders should be painted black, you can use black lacquer, you can also use pine smoke toner, add glue.

The lenses must be placed very positively, you must not use your hands, to do this, use the rotation method in the cylinder, carve out a shallow groove, so that the lens is put in, the position is just right, and then put a bamboo or wood pressure ring outside, make him firm, glue it on, in the future we can make screws, there will be more methods, better to use.

Put a small cylinder in it, and one end of that cylinder does the same, but with a concave mirror.

The two cylinders must be made coaxial. Do you know what coaxial means?

It is two lenses, from center to center, no matter how the cylinder moves back and forth, it must not be deviated or tilted.

Now, let's talk about lenses, the objective lens is a convex lens, we can only quickly make a simple one, one side is flat, the other side, made into a part of a ball, but not so thick semicircles, we don't have measuring instruments, you are free to do it first, about one-eighth or one-sixteenth of the arc of a ball.

Caliber. ”

Lin Xi looked at the transparent crystal on the hat, somewhat unbearable, and checked it from the box again, and took out a crystal with a diameter of about two inches (note: about six centimeters):

"From the middle of this crystal, you cut it finely, about 3 to 4 minutes (note: 1 point = 10th inch, about 3 millimeters) thick, carefully grind it into the original piece, and then leave 1 point as the edge, and the other 2 to 3 points, grind it into a part of the sphere, can you do it?"

The craftsman who made the jade took a closer look at it and told Lin Xi with great certainty: "Venerable Master, if you make such a request, it is not very difficult. ”

Lin Xi was curious: "So how do you cut and grind?" ”

The jade craftsman proudly said: "Such fine materials, need to be immersed in water, or someone on the side of the water, we have a special seat (note: bracket structure), this one has a place, that is, with a copper casing, inside the iron rod, one end of the casing, is made of a crank, can be shaken by hand, once shaken, then the other end of the iron rod, set a two-edged knife of refined steel, the head needs to be hot, and then quenched, and re-warmed with hot oil."

Such a knife head is sharp, hard, and has a certain elasticity. It's not easy to make.

A knife with a sharp edge at both ends, but more than an inch wide, needs to be very sharp, and the thickness should not exceed one point, so as not to wear too much jade.

Under the knife head, there is a wooden pallet, the jade to find a wooden shelf, on both sides of the blade, each with two wooden clips, push up, tie with cow tendons, if it is very valuable, sometimes glue with glue.

Rotate the crank in this way, the two sides of the cutter head take turns to cross the surface of the jade or water spirit, and there is a cow tendon behind the wooden shelf to bind it, with a certain elasticity, so the knife frame rotates, always cut to the surface of the jade or water spirit, and cut it slowly, as long as the advance is slower, water frequently, and the surface of the cut is already very smooth.

If you want to see people, you have to use the jade material that has been grinded, take it out of the water, put it on a piece of cloth, and polish it carefully.

If it is extremely important, it is necessary to use the water fly method to take out the foam, and the thing continues to grind, which can be extremely delicate, reflect the light, and be delicate, but it takes a lot of work. ”

[Note: Shuifei, originally a term of traditional Chinese medicine, is a traditional Chinese medicine processing method, is a method of taking extremely fine powder of medicinal materials. The insoluble medicinal materials are finely ground with water, a large amount of water is added, stirred, the coarser powder particles will sink, the fine powder is suspended in water, and the poured suspension is precipitated, separated, and then dried, that is, it becomes an extremely fine powder. It is mostly used in mineral medicine. It is used here as an abrasive. 】

Lin Xi sighed in his heart, the people of the Song Dynasty already knew that thinking about this kind of thing, sure enough, only diamonds can be polished diamonds, high-hardness minerals, ordinary copper and iron can not be grinded, let alone smooth, but through the intolerable particle thickness in the cutting process, and then the use of important concocted water flying method, the ancients cleverly solved this kind of excellence manufacturing process, and sure enough, human wisdom is infinite.

Lin Xi nodded, excited, this is new knowledge. But it's not over yet, the master jade master continues:

"Water essence, although we used to be valuable, but not happy to use it, because the water essence is too hard, and too brittle, far less than nephrite or jadeite easy to process, not to mention the low yield of the product, it is not easy to keep.

But looking at it today, the Venerable Master is very concerned about such things, so there is still a way to humble himself. ”

Lin Xi knew that this jade master was showing his value, and said very cooperatively: "I would like to hear about it." ”

The master jade craftsman said: "Cutting with a knife, this knife needs to be at least one point thick, in fact, when it comes to really making a knife with a thickness of one point, it is not very careful."

In our home, there is another inheritance, which is the method of using wire wire saws.

This requires the cooperation of an iron master to draw a steel wire that is half a cent to one cent thick.

After pulling, you also need to make a ring while it is hot.

This kind of sitting is also a family school, in my house, with two hardwood discs, there is a groove in the middle, the small one inch to one and a half inches in diameter, the large three inches to six inches, the larger the size, the more labor-saving, fast, the smaller the size, the shorter the wire rope used.

This seat is much more complex than the blade's, but it cuts down, has a smooth quality, and takes less time, far better than the blade cutting. ”

Lin Xi immediately understood the concept and blurted out: "Wire wheel saw lathe!" Has technology come this far? ”

The master jade master said in surprise, "Venerable Master, how did you know that this object is called a wire saw, but we don't call it a wire wheel saw lathe, we only call it a wire saw in private, so that others can hear it, and they won't think of such an object and its function." ”

Lin Xi asked: "This kind of thing is not faster and easier to cut with a knife, why don't you take it out and use it?" ”

The master jade craftsman bowed his head and bowed: "Venerable Master, this is my family's secret, and I offer this treasure to ask the Venerable Master to save my little lady, Yu'er." ”

Song Ao Xing turned his face: "In the car (note: the name of the jade master), your daughter now knows whether she is alive or dead, what is your intention to blackmail the master?" ”

The jade master cried in the car and said, "Commander Song, it is not the villain who is blackmailing, the villain is not the first to sacrifice his ancestral skills, and I implore the Venerable Master to save the last."

I have run out of oil and lamps, and only the little girl Yu'er is left, is it wrong to dedicate the inheritance of the family and only ask for help to find the little girl?

Before I die, I will hand over my family memories to the Venerable Master, and ask the Venerable Master to have mercy on me, a lonely old man, and after I die, I will take care of the villain's sincerity, send someone to collect a corpse for me, burn some incense, candles, paper horses, and I will go to the underworld to find my daughter. Woowoo woo ......"

Tang Hanlin comforted: "Master Che, the Venerable Master is here, you should be more respectful, now is the time of chaos, the Venerable Master is teaching us to make artifacts and cut off the pseudo-yuan, presumably your difficulties will also be solved." Stop crying, which one here is not the bitter master? ”

The jade master wiped his tears with his sleeve in the car and stopped crying: "The villain understands, but he can't help it." ”

Tang Hanlin also turned red in two circles: "Now is not the time for pain, you answered the Venerable Master's question first, why didn't you take it out before?" ”

The jade master smiled bitterly in the car: "Tang Hanlin, you are scholars and officials, how do you know our suffering." We make jade, is according to the working hours to convert wages, now the true color has changed to fold the color, the folding color is not enough, the lack is still underpaid, the underpayment, we can not make a living. ”

[Note: True color refers to high-purity silver; Folding color refers to the lack of fineness of silver.

In addition, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the physical fields originally planned to be expropriated are called their true colors; If it is changed to other physical goods or currency, it is called discounted.

In this case, the court used a reward of insufficient purity or even insufficient quantity to offset the remuneration that should have been paid. 】

Song Aoxing took over the conversation: "Venerable Master, Tang Hanlin, in fact, this is also an ugly rule, but this bad rule is not that the various craftsmen we are intimidating as prisoners are lazy.

For example, according to the wire wheel saw lathe you just mentioned, it may take half a day to cut such a water spirit. If you switch to the two-edged knife method, it will take two days.

Moreover, the wire wheel saw lathe, to make a piece, to cut two, the steel wire is only half a point, and only one point of thickness is consumed before and after;

Switching to the two-edged knife method requires seven to eight or even nine points of jade.

Two offset, out of thin air more than six to eight points of jade, this saved jade, one, can fill the original cutting in the wrong damage, if there is no damage, you such a piece of jade down, more than four or five thinner jade, it is also possible, these are not in the original calculation, you can be left, or sold, or ancestral, how much is a compensation.

This is a bad rule that everyone knows, but as long as you don't work in the workshop, this is completely compliant.

Because of this, if there is a stunning method, all families are tightly sealed.

Like this, the steel wire must be made by a good blacksmith.

If they are all dedicated, first, the benefits and merits, we craftsmen, have no merit, and there is, and they are far inferior to Shangguan civil officials, whether they are jinshi or people, they are a show talent, and they are more than our rewards. Second, from now on, it will only require faster speed, more work. ”

Lin Xi understood, and said to Tang Hanlin: "Remember, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we must establish a patent law to protect creations and promote inventions. Indeed, there are good craftsmen who invent good methods for benefiting the country and the people, and good things should be seen by social contributions, enjoyed as appropriate, and learned from things. Labor and creation - the most glorious! ”

The people who will be the prisoners burst into warm applause.

Lin Xi asked again: "How do you make a round ball of water spirit?" ”

The jade master said in the car: "Well, that, every family has a secret method, in fact, in the old method, there are some processing methods, such as stepping on the pedal with your foot, punching, piercing, grinding, disemboweling, flowering, drilling, penetrating flowers, wood, and leather, all of which are there, and the prison will be much finer than the outside."

[Note: You can refer to https:\/\/zhuanlan.\/p\/30805688]

As for making round balls, polishing rough embryos is almost the same, but when making fine embryos, my home method is a mold knife, which is to use good stainless steel, first make a circle groove on the anvil, then heat the steel strips, smash them into the grooves, and then use a file to sharpen the edge of the blade, and then quench it with cold oil and child urine.

This results in a mold knife.

The jade is generally gouged out to wear a pillar or bead, and the essence embryo of the jade can also be fixed, and then the jade is shaken with a crank, and the blade of half of the garden ball is rubbed and cut, and water is sprinkled while cutting. ”

Only then did Lin Xi understand why so many jade objects were ring-packed, or the ball shape also had a through hole, which was originally used for processing.

At this time, Lin Xi had another question: "Then what if you grind an arc between one-eighth and one-sixteenth?" ”

The master jade maker said: "If it is particularly urgent, it is okay to use it by hand, but I suggest that you make an iron mold first, and then make a stainless steel cutter." The most secure. ”

Lin Xi asked: "The convex lens does one-sixteenth of the arc, do you understand?" Concave lenses you also understand, do an eighths of an arc? Can it be processed? ”

The master jade craftsman took a closer look again: "Is it necessary to do this if you are concave?" Then you also need to make a stainless steel cutter. ”

Lin Xi asked: "When will two sets be processed?" ”

The car said, "It's noon tomorrow at the earliest." ”

Lin Xi said: "Tomorrow morning, at least one set will come out." ”
