Meng Jiucheng picked up a lens and took a look at his hand, the instantly enlarged pores and the smooth and traceless surface made him feel satisfied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your craftsmanship really lives up to its reputation." Meng Jiucheng put the lens back, took out the money and handed it over, "If there is a transparent crystal in the future, I will send someone to inform you, and the price will not let you suffer." ”

"In the name of Meng Absei's generosity, which one in the county doesn't know?" The shopkeeper took the money, and after counting it, he smiled and complimented: "But there is the crystal that the priest said, and the villain will be the prophet of the priest." ”

Meng Jiucheng nodded, got up and handed the box to Liang Ertie, and arched his hand to the shopkeeper, "I'm sorry for you, I'll leave today." ”

"Oshiji walks slowly." The shopkeeper sent it to the door before returning to the store.

Meng Jiucheng was very anxious and excited, all kinds of things were ready, and the world's first telescope was about to be born in his hands.

"Oshiji, this thing is precious, isn't it?" Liang Ertie saw the pile of money for the shopkeeper, guessed and asked, holding the box firmly in his hand.

"It's just a rarity." Meng Jiucheng tried hard to say in a flat tone: "If you want to do more, it is very difficult. ”

Of course, transparent crystal is expensive and small, and today's polished lenses are a few small materials, and the effect is equivalent to that of children's toys in later generations. If it is used for military purposes, it will not be of much use.

If you want to produce transparent glass, and the properties are relatively close to optical glass, Meng Jiucheng is not impossible. But it took a thousand experiments, and he didn't want to waste that time and energy now. Moreover, if his plan can go smoothly, making glass is one of the important sources of wealth for him to prosper the king!

There was nothing to say all the way, and it was already night when I returned home. After eating, Meng Jiucheng plunged into the study, took out the cardboard tubes, fish maw glue, paper tapes and other things that had been prepared, and began to assemble the toys.

It is indeed a toy for two little girls, Meng Jiucheng doesn't want to make it complicated, what copper and iron don't need at all, a few pieces of paper are glued together, and then rolled into a cylinder, and the outside is colored, so it's dealt with.

The first one took some time, to say skillful, Meng Jiucheng can use intelligent pinyin to type 100 characters in a minute, but he is not so handy at doing this manual work. However, when I did the second one, it was much faster, and practice makes perfect was really not deceiving.

Walking to the window with a little excitement, Meng Jiucheng held up the first telescope in the history of the world - black, black, the time was not well chosen, the night was dim, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

He carefully adjusted the direction and focus, and slowly saw the distant scene, no, the people. It was Mingdang and Rong'er, carrying lanterns, who were walking this way.

Anyway, being able to deal with the gift matter in the past few days is really pestering. Meng Jiucheng raised the mirror slightly, watching the two pretty faces getting closer and closer, smiling and smiling, really cute.

Mingdang and Rong'er stepped into the house and saw Meng Jiucheng sitting precariously with a book in his hand, reading intently. The two of them saluted, and shouted "Brother! ”

Well, it's acceptable to call it that, but don't be too sassy, the sweet and greasy name of "Gege" is really dizzy.

"Sit down!" Meng Jiucheng put down the book, nodded solemnly, and said, "The store will open soon, and the Xianglu Workshop and the Muppet Workshop will also have to be managed, you two have really worked hard." ”

"It's hard, it's a little bit, but it's nothing." After Ming Zhong sat down, he said, "Brother, you are going to take leave today, is it okay for you to be fair?" ”

"That's right." Meng Jiucheng smiled slightly and said, "The prime minister still has official affairs for me to go to Chuzhou to handle, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." ”

"Brother, when are you going to leave, and will you go after the shop opens?" Rong'er was not as honest as Mingdang, walked to the table, looked at the paper and books on it, and seemed to be looking for something.

Meng Jiucheng thought for a moment and said: "Xianggong knew in his heart that he didn't say it, but I have the identity of a official, and it is not appropriate to appear in a grand place when the shop opens." So, two days later, I will leave for Chuzhou, and the affairs of the shop will be handled by the two of you and Liuqiao. Well, with Guo Chen in charge, nothing big will happen. ”

"What is this?" Rong'er finally found the two cylindrical telescopes and asked curiously.

Meng Jiu didn't want to hide it, but when she found out, she picked it up with a smile and stretched it forward one by one, "This is the gift that my brother promised you, it was just done, but you were in a hurry." ”

Rong'er hurriedly reached out and took it, fiddling with it twice, not knowing how to use it. Mingdang got up and walked over, but he was more steady and reserved than her.

Meng Jiucheng raised the telescope and made a lookout posture, pulled two paper tubes with his hand, and said with a smile: "This is called a telescope, which can bring things in the distance closer and see more clearly." After speaking, he handed it to Mingdang and reminded: "Don't take it backwards, or you will look farther and farther." It's dark at night, but it's fun to watch during the day! ”

Mingdang took it, and Rong'er had already looked like Meng Jiucheng, holding up the binoculars, bringing her eyes up, and looking outside.

"Yay? Yes! Rong'er made a startled sound in her small mouth, pulled the paper tube, should have adjusted the focus, and smiled happily, "It's so funny!" Look at that idiot, haha, it's Liang Ertie......"

Mingdang also took a look, not as childish as Rong'er laughing and screaming, but also let out a sound of surprise, and then exclaimed: "Brother is really smart, this thing is ingenious, rare in the world." ”

Isn't it just rare, simple is nothing! Meng Jiucheng saw that the two girls were happy, and they also laughed heartily.

Ming Zhong suddenly turned around and naughtily pointed the telescope at Meng Jiucheng, Meng Jiucheng laughed and suddenly grimaced.

Giggling, Mingdang smiled crisply, put down the binoculars, and his sparkling eyes bent into crescents.

Meng Jiucheng pressed his hand, motioned for Mingdang to sit down, and asked, "Have you told your father and uncle about going to Chuzhou?" ”

Ming Zhong paused and said, "My father and uncle studied the Book of Heaven, and I couldn't say that I couldn't be free. Wait until I go and talk to them again, my brother will wait for Xin'er tomorrow, okay? ”

Meng Jiucheng nodded and said, "If you don't have time, you don't have to be strong." Although it is a bit troublesome without Mr. Hu's help, it is not impossible to solve. By the way, when is the Thunder Tribulation? ”

Ming Zhong frowned slightly and said, "According to my father's calculations, it was probably in late autumn and early winter. It was also for this reason that they seized the time to study the Book of Heaven, hoping to find a way to avoid it before the thunder tribulation. ”
