"My lord, there is a group of blacksmiths outside, saying that they want to give you something strange." Meng Tian clenched his fists and said. Shang Wen listened. I knew that this was a steam engine that I had ordered someone to build. Get out of bed quickly. Not at all like a person who is seriously ill.

"Sir," Meng Tian said worriedly.

Shang Wen waved his hand to signal that there was nothing wrong, and hurriedly ran outside to look at the steam engine he had designed. There you have this thing. It is the beginning of the scientific and technological revolution. I can't stop if I want to.

When I look outside, it's similar to my own design. This can only be considered a small steam engine. The diameter is about one and a half meters.

Two star pots, one for boiling water at the bottom of the pot, and the other for topping. There are two holes on it, one is inlet water, adding water is open, and it is closed when in use. A hole in it. It's where steam comes in. Lift the air plug. This way you can move.

Due to a dry throat. Can't speak. Shang Wen had no choice but to signal to his subordinates to give a reward. Don't understand. Take out two gold cakes directly from your own hands. Only then did the next person understand. Hurriedly gave two. The subordinate looked a little unhappy. But Shangwen didn't care.

Pick up those guys and start assembling them. There are also some screws and nuts that have been built according to their own standards. Gears, cranks. It took a morning to finally finish.

Meng Tian looked at all this with a puzzled expression. I don't know what novel things Shang Wen has appeared.

Shang Wen motioned for dinner. My throat hurts a little. He simply didn't speak. Pull Meng Tian to eat.

Eat it quickly. Shang Wen went to work again. On the contrary, Meng Tian has not finished eating.

Shangwen began to pour water, and in ancient times there was only charcoal and countless woods. I can only be wronged first. Burner. Shang Wen gestured.

Soon, the fire ignited. Billowing smoke billowed out. Then, the water starts to emit steam. It seems that the water is boiling.

The sealed cylinder starts moving. Drive the gears to turn the wooden wheel. Then the connected crank starts to pneumolate.

See it all. Meng Tian said: "Mr. is really a god. You can think of such a method. This is truly God. Something that we don't usually pay attention to. To Mr. ・・・・・・ is too godly. Shang Wen waved his hand, signaling that it was nothing.

Then see. The hammer kept falling. Shang Wen clamped a piece of iron with a clamp. The hammer kept pounding.

So a piece of iron began to go on and on. The beating is done. The speed, the time is very fast, very short. The quality of its iron is also very good.

Meng Tian finally knew what Shang Wen was going to do. It's time to improve manufacturing. Shorten the construction period of an iron sword and iron knife. It's not simple. Generous.

Shangwen still has some things to build yet. It was only because it needed a lot of iron that it was not taken out, but the drawings were already there.

But before that, Shang Wen felt that he should invent something small. For example, paper, or a pen. Wait a minute. There is no such thing. When drawing. I really don't have any thoughts.

Shang Wen knew that the brush in history was an invention of Meng Tian. Just Sha's voice asked, "Lao Meng, are you studying the brush!" ”

"Yes," Meng Tian looked at Shang Wen in surprise. The meaning seems to say again, how do you know.

Shang Wen understood what Meng Tian meant. "One of the things I've noticed is that animal hair is very oily. This is not conducive to the collection of water absorption, etc. As long as the hair is soaked in lime water and taken out, there is no such phenomenon. ”

When Meng Tian heard it, he understood. The brush that I studied on my own has made great progress. But suffer from the oiliness of the hair. It never worked. Historically, the brush was also invented by inadvertently throwing lime water. The process of degreasing can be achieved with lime water. And Meng Tian is obviously an expert, and he knows it as soon as he hears it. This step is complete. The brush developed by yourself can be born.

After listening to it, he ran out as fast as he could. Shangwen shrugged. Hey hey, smile. So he went back to the house and made a list. Sourcing a whole bunch of paper-making stuff. There is no such thing as paper, which is too inconvenient.

Paper is actually a kind of plant fiber membrane. It was discovered in ancient times. It's just a bit of a chance and no further exploration. Now it's all about making this exploratory thing. In this way, Shang Wen himself can use paper to draw drawings. No more because parchment is too scarce. Silk is too expensive to use and annoying. And the transparency of the paper is very good. It's better to copy. Fountain pens, because there is no rubber, can only be temporarily replaced by feathers. The brush is really unaccustomed to use. The main thing is the habit of holding a pen.

Something was found quickly. linen heads, bark, etc. Shang Wen ordered people to mash these things and boil them in water. Then mash it again. Add lime water and bring to a boil. Filtration. Pulp is formed. Then, take out a wooden frame and staple the yarn on it to start extracting the paper. Let the pulp adhere to it and become a kind of film. Then let it dry. It became a piece of paper. The process is time-consuming. One afternoon and one night doing this work. However, the finished product is relatively satisfied. Because the paper is relatively yellow. It's not the kind of white, Shang Wen saw the finished product and realized that there was another procedure, which was bleaching.

Shang Wen ordered people to prepare sulfur. Burning sulfur. Smoke. Or the smoke of sulfur dissolves in water. Formation of acidic water quality. In this way, the effect of bleaching can be achieved. After joining the Drift Worship program. The paper made meets its own standards. The people of the world have long been rejoicing at the birth of the first paper. Shang Wen in order to be lazy. Just teach them some basic things. Let them do it. You can take a good rest. Then you can do other things.

The next step is to make the steam engine widely used. The steam engine is very useful. can cause trains. In this way, once the Qin State fights, it does not have to worry about the transportation of soldiers. There is also a large amount of food, so the supply does not need to consume manpower. It can save a lot of manpower. With this manpower, a lot of other things can be done.

Shang Wen sat and drank water. The days without coffee are boring, and you can only think about problems to solve them.

At present, the power of the steam engine is still very small. It can't be too big, the technology is not yet mature. The main thing is that the sealing is too poor. It's better if there's rubber. But the sealing problem had to be solved. Otherwise, the power cannot be increased. It is not good to go on like this.

At this time, Meng Tian came back happily. Holding a freshly made brush in his hand. Very excited, I don't care about Shang Wen's mind at all.

"Sir, please see. I followed your method to make the pen. It's very easy to use, you try it. As he spoke, he grabbed Shang Wen's hand.

Shang Wen doesn't like to use brushes. I still like to use a pen. But there was no way, to take care of Meng Tian's mood, so he had to reluctantly make a novel reaction.

"I've already made a few for the king." Meng Tian was still very happy to say.

Shang Wen asked. "Do you want to do a lot of pens?"
