Chapter 99, Luoyang paper is expensive
There is no need to go out to buy, there are ready-made radishes in this Shenxiao Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The self-produced radishes here are not in good condition.
But it doesn't matter! Anyway, in this first stage, you only need to verify that the radish Dafa is good! There is no need to pay special attention to the subtle difference between 30% purity and 35% purity.
Dr. Wu is now around this horizontal hillside, carefully examining the quality of the large and small radishes in the vegetable garden in the middle of the hillside, as well as the average annual yield.
He was followed by more than a dozen wise and astute little Taoist priests carefully selected by Fan Da Lao. These little Taoist priests will be Wu Yunduo of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and maybe one or two Napoleons from Shandong and Nelson from Hebei will emerge among them.
During Dr. Wu's trip to inspect the work of radish, this cadre followed the Taoist priests, who were courteous and answered all questions.
Soon there was a panoramic view of the current situation.
Taoist priests don't eat turnips.
These turnips planted on the hillside are specially used to feed the sheep. The Taoist priests here are very keen on raising sheep.
It's still the kind that is stocked on the hillside.
These Taoist priests love to make wine.
In the Song Dynasty, people generally did not drink high-concentration liquor, but only drank low-alcohol fruit wine. The Taoist priest of Shenxiao Palace is a little more MAN than ordinary Song people, but he can't MAN anywhere. They are particularly fond of blending distilled spirits with goat's milk.
In fact, the Song Dynasty had already mastered the process of distilling alcohol, but he refused to adjust the purity of alcohol to 80% or 90%. As a result, the liquor between 53 and 56 degrees is blended with goat's milk, and it becomes about 30 degrees.
This is Taoist milk wine.
The wine is thick and smooth, its color is milky white like jade, and the visual effect looks very magical.
If you take this kind of Taoist milk wine out and fool the uninformed mountain villager, coax him to say: This thing is actually the essence of the wine made by Telunsu...... Maybe those mountain village husbands will really be bluffed.
This is the Taoist version of the Great Song Dynasty made with goat's milk and liquor. These Taoist priests are not disgusting themselves. They refused to compare these daily ingestibles with the Trensu serum.
However, the Taoist priests did something similar to this......
They call this kind of milk wine "Dongtian chalcedony".
Taoism has always adhered to the theory of the five elements of yin and yang. I always think that all things in heaven and earth are composed of gold, wood, water, fire and earth elements, which are skillfully matched.
This doctrine, which was held in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties and the Wei and Jin dynasties, is undoubtedly advanced and correct. This is actually roughly equivalent to Mendeleev's periodic table, five abbreviated versions. The ancient Taoist priests of the Great Flower Family, more than 1,200 years earlier than the world, had a glimpse of the true meaning of the composition of the world in advance: everything in the world is composed of elements. Everything is the same.
Since it is ever-changing, it is inseparable. Then the Taoist Dan Dao, that is, the chemical experiment. Naturally, there are two schools of thought: one focuses on the search for the essence and is bent on understanding the most basic elements of what the world is made of. In the words of the Taoists themselves, it is the word "zong" that focuses on the "change" of ten thousand and does not deviate from its "zong". The other school pays attention to the attempt of permutation and combination, that is, the word "change" that focuses on the "change" of ten thousand "changes" and does not deviate from its "sect".
The way of seeking the sect focuses on analysis and purification.
The way of seeking change focuses on derivation and synthesis.
The so-called Dongtian chalcedony is nothing but milk and wine. But the Taoist priests just thought about this simple thing in a mysterious way. Wine is the essence of plants, and milk is the life of animals.
If plants can also ***, this ejaculation must be alcohol. Wine is a plant essence!
The wonder of milk is more subtle than that of plants**. Just because of this milk, not all animals can produce it. Only females have this talent. Therefore, this object must contain the yin and yang mystery of gender difference.
This milk, at the same time, is an important successor of the previous generation of mothers, whose vitality, and even part of their wisdom, are skillfully passed on to the next generation of infants. Therefore, this milk must be the essence of life and the key to yin and yang.
Taken together, this is the so-called "sex and life".
Further research revealed that although the wine and milk were both liquids, they were not just water elements.
Wood element, there's definitely something here. This sheep eats grass! This liquor is made from grain, that is, plant seeds! So there is wood in the water. (I touched the side of the nutrition department of the later generations, vitamins, plant cellulose or something.) )
The earth element, apparently, is also there. The phrase "down-to-earth" is the easiest to understand. Plants are not grounded and can grow well? If the earth does not exist, the grass will be attached? Grass grows on the ground, grass feeds sheep, sheep milk. Therefore there must be an earth element in this milk. (This side is equivalent to calcium supplementation and iodine supplementation...... When ancient people saw calcium tablets, most of them had to be judged to be earthy properties, not metallic properties. )
In the end, the most difficult thing to solve is gold and fire.
With water, earth and wood, how can there be no gold and fire?
But this wine, this milk, really has nothing to do with steel and copper coins, and it has nothing to do with half a dime. So the ancient people wittily discovered that in the middle of summer, the iron plate resting on the shady ground would naturally condense into water droplets.
This is actually water vapor in the air, which meets the iron plate and condenses into a liquid state. But we Taoists can't help but think too much, they feel that this is Jin Shengshui. This water is born of gold, and it must not be ordinary water. It is the feminine change of yang and gold, and it is the feminine state of gold.
As a result, dewdrops, pearls, fireflies (this is actually fluorine), and ghost fire (phosphorus) are all considered to be the feminine side of gold.
The most difficult thing to explain is the fire element.
When the liquor enters the throat, it burns like a fire. So there must be a fire elemental as well. It's just that this fire element is the most mysterious and unpredictable.
Now, in a glass of milk wine, gold, wood, water, fire and earth are all alive.
As a result, the wisest and most academically challenging Taoist masters devoted themselves to the study of the fire element, the most difficult meaning to capture. The remaining four departments are left to the junior brothers and nephews with mediocre intelligence.
Shenxiao Palace's focus on the research of gunpowder is motivated by this.
These ancient chemists, tragically, went astray.
There are more than five elements. The periodic distribution of atomic weight, in principle, is also very different from the five elements of yin and yang. As a result, the Taoist Academy of Sciences, no matter how much it tosses, is destined not to achieve much. This core idea went off the rails at the beginning, and in the end, of course, it went farther and farther wrong.
Fan Chun wanted the traverser to help the Academy of Sciences of the Shenxiao Palace of the Great Song Dynasty and enlighten the knowledge of chemistry. Easier said than done!
Although this ideal is plump, the reality is very skinny.
The traverser can only preach to the Taoist priests: The theory of yin and yang, the side is right, isn't that positive and negative ions! The five elements must be wrong, and there are actually dozens of basic elements. The concept of Tai Chi is barely correct, dozens of elements are the same proton, neutron, and electron models, and if the onlooker system formed by each nucleus and electron is regarded as a small Tai Chi, it is reasonable.
However, can the Taoist priests listen?
Taoist priests will not accept that there are six or seventh elements in addition to the five elements.
Unless! There is a prestige, reputation, strength, skills, skills, and strength, and a super super super god god god level powerhouse who comprehensively crushes Taishang Laojun, and puts forward such a new doctrine, and the Taoist priests are willing to be convinced. Want to crush Taishang Laojun? It has to be the Pangu Giant God himself!
Is it possible for a powerful creator god like Pangu to exist in the world? Kuai Fei thought about it carefully, from Zhao Kuangyin, Temujin, Zhu Yuanzhang, to Sun Yat-sen and Mao Weiren, it seems that none of them have such a strong convincing power. Although they are powerful, they are still far from the Pangu Giant God. So...... Even Zhao Kuangyin, Temujin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Sun Yat-sen, Chang Kaishen, and Mao Weiren don't count on things, and others don't even think about it.
Taoist! Eventually, it will decline! No one can save them! Unless someone can play the Pangu Titan God, they must also act very similarly! You can't have a goof! Don't give a single chance to NG! Is this possible? Disney DreamWorks, Warner Bros. Studios, Transformers and the Pacific Rim stunt production team, working together and spending huge sums of money, can't do it!
This matter is destined to be unsolvable!
It is not right to blindly boast about how advanced and elegant the civilization of the Great Song Dynasty is!
Taoism first walked into such a dead end. It can even be said that an uneducated barbarian territory descends on a traveler, but it is easy to quickly realize the popularization of science for the whole people. These barbarians are good enough to break through, and they believe what the party says. Acceptance of science, maximized.
The more developed the Taoist civilization of the Great Song Dynasty, the greater the resistance to the spread of the popular science concept of the traveler. The Taoist priests could kill you in every minute.
The saddest thing is this gunpowder!
Gunpowder, this is a two-word word unique to the Chinese language. The British language is actually very simple and brain-dead, and it is directly called powder, gunpowder.
Only the inventor of gunpowder called it the powder of fire!
That's really not something to be proud of.
We call this "medicine", which in itself is a great tragedy. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the government included this thing in the secret list of the arsenal. In the Great Song Dynasty, this thing was a kind of "medicine", and it was unfortunately classified into the national pharmacopoeia catalog.
Oh, my God! This is a serious deviation from the strategic direction!
Medicine is basically used to eat, and secondly, some medicines are used for external application. Can you imagine? Who will use a small pill to fight with an opponent?
The deviation in this direction must be corrected!
The first general understanding of this "medicine" in the Song Dynasty and the public: miscanthus is a traditional Chinese medicine that clears fire and seizes poison! Oral!
The second general perception: Miscanthus salt, if it is taken orally, only a little, the supply greatly exceeds the demand. The surplus manganese is used to set off firecrackers and develop public welfare and entertainment undertakings, so that the people can live more happily, and if they are happy, they will not rebel, and this political value will be more important.
The third general cognition: Yang Huo*** is like the golden wind and jade dew, if you don't meet, it is enough, and when the golden wind and jade dew meet, there will be very wonderful good things happening. When the flame attribute of the miscanthus meets cold water, there will be mysterious and mysterious things happening.
When it encounters water, it will dissolve quickly, and during the dissolution reaction, it will draw a large amount of heat energy from the surrounding environment. As a result, the surrounding water temperature became lower, and the central reaction foci were heated violently, accompanied by vaporization and bubbles.
The Great Song Daoliu half-hung chemist was very witty and tried in vain to understand this process with the theory of yin and yang and the five elements.
Gunpowder, which adheres to the essence of the fire element, can take away the power of creation and transformation, and take away the impurities of the fire element contained in it from ordinary water, so as to obtain the three flavors of true water.
Ordinary water is not pure.
With gunpowder, take away its fire essence and make it pure, and this thing obtained is the supreme realm of the water element: Xuan Bing!
The explorers of the Great Song Dynasty also often went to the north to investigate. The further north you go, the cooler it gets. In the far north, there is an eternal 10,000-year-old ice.
In the Xuanbing, there is a huge power, which is the power of the Northern Emperor Xuanwu Zhenjun.
Therefore, the miscanthus refined by the Taoists of the Great Song Dynasty, among which the best quality, is defined as "Northern Emperor Xuanzhu". This Xuanzhu brought the power of the Northern Emperor's Xuanwu, and its own nature was as fierce as fire, but it could make ordinary water sublimate into Xuanbing.
So Wu Dalang was in the Zhu Courtyard before, when he was making Dongpo elbows......
The system mother directly gave a bowl of ice slag, and no one present expressed surprise at this.
Ice cream? This is not some Western high-tech!
This is the most common cold drink on the streets of Tokyo in Daesong!
Nima, my Song people are really not doing their jobs! The tech tree is obviously crooked! On the scientific and technological route of artillery, it blindly deviates. But you can easily eat the magic ice cream that quenches your thirst in the summer in the 1110s! Fei Ge vainly called the modern man 800 years later, when he was a child, in the summer, there was no ice cream in the countryside at all, okay?
Mr. Jin seemed to be dozing off in chemistry class.
What did Li Qiushui make a big ice cave in the cellar of the Xixia Imperial Palace...... That's the blind man lighting the lamp in vain. You don't need to make an ice cave at all, okay!
(The Ming and Qing dynasties wanted to carry out this ice cave project, because in the Ming and Qing dynasties, saltpeter resources were given priority to gunpowder.) Later generations will no longer dare to use such an important raw material for gunpowder to blindly engage in dispensable livelihood benefits such as ice-making. The Great Song Dynasty, the Great Liao, the Western Xia, and the Jurchen era...... It didn't take a lot of construction to create a royal ice cave. )
Throw 100 catties of miscanthus into the tank with a capacity of 50 catties, and the bubbles will suddenly tumble, and when the bubbles are almost gone, in the depths of the tank, the canned water sealed in the sealed water tank in advance can directly condense into a jar of ice.
This wisdom of Da Song is really beyond our Feige's expectations!
After learning about the current situation of industry and technology in the Great Song Dynasty from the mouth of the Taoist priest of Shenxiao Palace......
The ice cream manufacturing process that the people of the Great Song Dynasty have become accustomed to has sent us a good gospel beyond expectations, but it is also accompanied by an unexpected major trouble.
At this moment, he was suddenly faced with a threshold that was difficult to cross.
This is good, this gospel is: the people of Tokyo are not short of money, rich uncles and ladies...... (Miss refers to a maid.) At this time, there are 200,000 people working in the industry in Tokyo, which is quite a strong market purchasing power...... Accustomed to being delicate, you must drink plenty of ice-cold drinks in summer. As a result, tens of thousands of households in Gyeonggi counties have given up farming and turned into professional "nitrate households".
The nitrate industry in the Great Song Dynasty is developed, and the output of low-purity saltpeter is far beyond Feige's imagination in advance.
The accompanying major trouble is that the consumption of saltpeter to make ice is too large. Old Man Fan wants to engage in gunpowder engineering, and the consumption of saltpeter is also astronomical. Once this project is officially launched, Luoyang paper will be expensive in Kaifeng market every minute, ah, it is Tokyo ice expensive.
This will directly lead to the boiling of public resentment.
The people's grievances are boiling, and we Feige don't care! But once the people's resentment boils and the Space-Time Administration is alarmed in advance, what should it be?
No way! Even if you alarm the Great Demon King who shouldn't be alarmed, you have to fight this one. It would be a shame otherwise! In fact, the science and technology tree of the Great Song Dynasty has just begun to be crooked, and it is not too far away. After all, there are so many professional nitrate makers who have been trained ready-made!
These nitrate makers are going to the special luxury consumer goods ice cream! Gotta get them back and get back to the artillery.
In this way, the next direction that Wu Dalang will work hard is no longer farming, but trying to reverse the existing concepts of the government and the opposition.
The original intention was to farm. Experiment first, then produce, from production to mass production, traversers generally develop in this way.
The current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, Nima is not like that at all! It also takes a field with a hammer! My Song nitrate industry is about to form a large-scale industrial group! The historical mission of our Fei Ge suddenly became, trying to reverse the concept of the Song people.
