Seventy-eighth Fireworks
Chen Jun saw that Wang Haoran was quite displeased, and puzzled: "King Yue is not a member of this research team, he has set up his own door, what are you unhappy about?" ”
"I think Wang Gongzi wants to recruit His Royal Highness King Yue, right?" It's still Zhao Wenshan, a bystander. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Won't it?" Chen Jun and the others stared at Wang Haoran in surprise.
Wang Haoran didn't answer, he just wanted to recruit Li Tai, and a big reason was that he regretted such a talent.
Surprised, Chen Jie has been following Wang Haoran for many years, and his self-confidence has also swelled, thinking that what their group of people are doing is incredible, what is it to recruit the prince? He retracted his surprise and proposed, "Even if King Yue sets up his own door, can he still compare to us?" As long as we grow fast enough, he will know that his research institute is out of reach, and when the time comes, invite him to join us, and worry that he will refuse? ”
Wang Haoran felt that this was also a good way, thought about it for a while, and then arranged: "Chen Jun, Chen Jie, the two of you will start to study the steam engine as soon as you have time in the future, and there are parts in the design that are difficult to make with the current equipment, and you can turn to improve the production equipment." Wen Shan, Xu Mian, Zizhao, your research began to focus on alloys, with iron as the main research object. It is necessary to study these two ferroalloys, one is extremely elastic, and the other is high hardness and wear resistance. ”
"Little master, as for making such a big move?" Chen Jun couldn't understand why Wang Haoran had to recruit Li Tai.
"There is an old man who told him his fortune, if he stays in the palace, he will be catastrophic if he stays for a long time." Wang Haoran said nonsense, lest these people speculate too much.
It's not so easy to make steam power, and it takes years to improve the equipment alone. However, this is not a big problem, if you are willing to make a loss-making business and only make a steam-powered car for your own play, you can start making it now. But if you want to make a lot of money from it, in addition to greatly increasing mineral production, you also have to solve people's livelihood problems. If the people are still hungry, even if they build airplanes, they will not be able to make money.
Wang Haoran asked Chen Jun and Chen Jie to start researching steam power, and another purpose was to hope to breed other equipment from this research to improve mining efficiency. Chen Jie's improvement equipment for the mining of iron ore has been spread to various mining farms through the copper mines of the imperial court, and the output of Datang's minerals has increased by seven or eight percent. If we develop equipment for mining minerals with steam power, we will be able to spread them as quickly as possible.
Chen Jun and the others naturally knew that the old man Wang Haoran was referring to one of the four hidden masters, and the masters were masters, who could not only engage in research, but also play divination. Thinking that Li Tai would have a catastrophe, he couldn't help but worry about Li Tai, the catastrophe in the palace was not a joke.
"If King Yue leaves the palace, he will be able to avoid this catastrophe, right?" Chen Jun asked.
"It's best to leave the capital."
"Why don't you just tell King Yue?" Zhao Wenshan asked.
"Or don't, lest after telling him, if he doesn't believe it, it will be useless to say more, and if he believes, he will be too suspicious." Wang Jingxiu interjected.
Within a few days, Wang Haoran received an invitation to Li Tai's wedding, but he didn't plan to participate, and the thirteen-year-old kid married an eleven-year-old kid, which felt like playing at home, so he made a bumper ball gadget and sent it as a congratulatory gift.
The bumper balls are very simple to make, a miniature horizontal bar shelf, on which five small iron balls of the same quality are hung side by side, depending on each other but not squeezing each other. Pick up the farthest iron ball and let go, you can see that when the small iron ball hits the other small iron balls, it will stop immediately, only the other side of the small iron ball will be knocked away, and so on until the energy is exhausted.
"Can you really handle it?" Zhao Wenshan said disdainfully.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Five small iron balls and an iron shelf are worth a few pennies, and they are used to give the wedding gifts of the four princes, don't you have any ideas?" Chen Jun asked rhetorically.
"Do you want to make a gold box for this?" Even these people can't see the peculiarity of the bumper ball, so there is no need to expect Li Tai to understand it, in this case, this bumper ball is worthless, so simply mass produce the bumper ball and sell it in department stores.
"Cheesy, we're doing research, how can we be so philistine?" Chen Jie objected.
Wang Haoran was speechless for a while, when did the craftsman become taller?
"Yes! Yue Wang also likes to do research, wouldn't it be better for us to research a new gadget as a gift? Zhao Wenshan had a flash of inspiration and happily proposed.
Wang Haoran was shouting in his heart: My bumper ball is a new thing! I knew that I would use gold to make round balls.
"Why don't we make something a little more shocking?" Wang Haoran had to save some face and said mysteriously.
"What's that?" Everyone looked at it together, and if it was said that they were making strange things, they all thought that they were inferior to Wang Haoran, and even felt that Wang Haoran was more like everyone's mentor.
"You'll know when you make it." Wang Haoran smiled slyly, he hadn't used this sentence for a long time.
Wang Haoran wants to make fireworks, but he can only make simple color fireworks, although the effect is far from being comparable with the firecrackers of later generations, but it can also bring enough visual impact to the Tang Dynasty people who have never seen fireworks. The time was in a hurry, Wang Haoran simply asked everyone to stop the research in their hands, and the newcomers went to roll paper tubes and stuff mud, and the old members prepared **, black powder, iron powder, and grinding toner.
It took three days of busy work to produce three sixteen-ring fireworks, and then Wang Haoran told everyone to inform the nearby villagers and tell them that there would be more than ten liters of explosions at night, so as not to cause panic among the people.
It was night, and everyone couldn't wait to come to the open space in front of the door to try the effect of the fireworks, and some villagers came to see the excitement.
"Don't rush to ignite the fire first, let's guess what will happen when this thing is ignited." Chen Jun said.
"Then you have to have a lottery!" Chang Yue'e proposed. After the beginning of the year, Wang Haoran discussed with the board of directors established by wealthy businessmen and large landowners, and intensified the construction of the new city, and the demand for consumables rose sharply, and the production of the Puzhou plant was particularly tight. The brothers and sisters of the Chang family, who served as assistants to Yu Zhirong, were also so busy that they rarely came to Wang's house, and today Zeng Chengyong specially went to ask them to come over to see the excitement.
Wang Haoran saw Chang Yue'e staring at him, obviously wanting to call on everyone to slaughter him, so he didn't wait for others to answer, and hurriedly said: "Caitou is whoever guesses the most accurately, whoever will go to the palace with me to eat and drink spicy food, how about it?" ”
Wang Haoran didn't want to go back to Chang'an, but the gift he gave was fireworks, and he couldn't rest assured if he didn't go back to watch it in person.
"Good!" Everyone agreed, for them, it was not so easy to enter the palace, unless they were willing to go to the palace.
"But Chen Jun and the old-timers can't participate, otherwise how can we newcomers have a chance of winning?" Yu Zhaojun said.
"That's it, the three of us have just guessed, and the one who guesses the most accurately will compete with the one who guesses the most accurately among your newcomers, and whoever wins will go back to Chang'an with the little master, how about it?" Chen Jun and the others also want to go back to see what the daughter-in-law married by Li Tai, an old friend, looks like.
The newcomers thought it was fair and agreed.
After everyone finished talking about their guesses, Wang Haoran asked Zeng Chengyong to light the fire.
"Bang", the first fireworks rose into the sky.
"Bang", the cannon exploded, and the sparks splashed everywhere.
"Boom", after the splashing sparks dispersed, there was suddenly a small explosion, like hundreds of flowers in full bloom.
In the wave of cheers of the crowd, sixteen fireworks exploded one after another. The brilliant sparks are fascinating, and when the sixteenth rings have passed, the people who have forgotten to count are still waiting for the next ring.
Wang Haoran was accustomed to seeing colorful fireworks, but he also looked at the fireworks in a daze with great interest, and couldn't help but think of some trivial things in later generations.
"It's over!" Chen Jie reacted first and cautiously stepped forward to check.
"Anything else?" Chang Yue'e is still unfinished.
"Yes, but you can see those two outside the palace." Wang Haoran said with a smile.
"Humph!"
"It seems that Chen Jun and I guessed the most accurately, everyone has no opinion, right?" Ma Jing asked proudly, and seeing that everyone did not object, he asked Chen Jun again, "Then what are we going to compare?" You can't be more familiar with the project! ”
"I'll teach you a fair comparison." Wang Haoran opened his mouth, and then taught them to play rock-paper-scissors.
The results came out quickly, and it was Chen Jun who won.
