18. Mechanized production
"What do you mean?" Meng Tian asked. "It's not interesting. Just want to make a few more to make a small amount of money? Shang Wen said with a wink.
"It's up to the gentleman to decide." Meng Tian clenched his fists and said.
"Okay." Wait.
Saying that, Shang Wen took a few pieces of paper, took the pen made by Meng Tian by the way, and locked it in the room and didn't come out. Meng Tian obviously saw the paper invented by Shang Wen, and kept looking back and forth. I feel very attracted. After reading it, Meng Tian ordered a piece of paper to be sent to the palace. Let King Qin look at it.
Shang Wen locked up in the house and began to design the machine tool. The overall power of the steam engine is not very large. But it was obviously more than enough to make brush paper.
Just design a few roulette wheels, some stamping, etc., and you can solve all the problems. As long as there are machine tools, some are easy to say.
Shangwen began to conceive. Painting. Then it is to annotate and annotate according to certain dimensions. It's already midnight after most of the busy work. Shang Wen immediately asked people to send the drawings to the blacksmith. Then he closed the door and went to sleep. Leave it all alone.
In the Qin Palace, King Qin was reviewing the recitals. Zhao Gao was busy putting away the approved pieces. Then he went outside and ordered King Qin to prepare supper. Tea and other things. "Father-in-law Zhao. It was sent by General Meng. As he spoke, a colonel handed over a roll of paper.
Zhao Gao took it and looked at it, and it was also very strange. He asked, "What is this?" ”
The colonel clenched his fists and replied, "This is paper, General Meng said, this thing can be written." It's very lightweight. ”
"Oh". Zhao Gao thought for a moment. A few pens sent by Meng Tian in the afternoon were very good after King Qin used them. Now that there is such a light thing again, King Qin will be even happier. This matter cannot be delayed. Hurry up and report is. So, Zhao Gao waved his hand and motioned for the colonel to go down. Zhao Gao turned around and immediately entered the palace and reported to the King of Qin.
"Your Majesty. Mr. Qin has a new gadget again. Zhao Gao said softly.
"Oh, show it to the widow." King Qin looked up and signaled.
Zhao Gao respectfully presented it.
King Qin took it and looked at it. "What is this?" "According to General Meng Tianmeng, this is paper that can be written. Very lightweight? Zhao Gao's voice was not loud, but it was able to be heard clearly by King Qin.
King Qin looked at it, then picked up the pen presented by Meng Tian and wrote a few words on the paper. "Not bad, not bad. All right? "That way, it's very easy to write." King Qin wrote a few words and said.
"The paper is as white as jade. It's comfortable to look at. Zhao Gao, prepare the car, the widow wants to see how this paper is made. King Qin touched his beard and said.
"Whoa." Zhao Gao stepped back.
"Good stuff, good stuff. There you have this. The widow will be able to correct more movements. King Qin muttered to himself.
Shang Wen felt in a daze that there was someone outside. Just get up and see. When I walked out of the house, King Qin came. Hurry up and see you.
"The minister is guilty of not seeing the driver in time." Shang Wen knelt on the ground. Said hoarsely.
"Hurry up, please. It's a widow who doesn't let people disturb Mr.'s dreams. I can't complain about Mr. Saying that, King Qin held Shang Wen's arms.
Shang Wen stood up and said, "I don't know ・・・・・・・ king." Shang Wen hasn't said it yet. The King of Qin had already spoken: "The widow is here to see your paper. It's a great thing. The widow just wants to see what is going on. ”
Shang Wen heard it. Hurriedly said: "The king wants to see the paper, please here." Shang Wen made a gesture of please
"No need, the widow has already seen it, but the widow still doesn't understand something. How did you turn the water into a divine power to drive the wheels around? And what's going on with those things that the iron sword sent. The widow hears that you can assemble it. It's a rarity. The widow wants to see it. King Qin said and pointed to the steam engine and the machine tool parts sent by the blacksmith.
When Shang Wen saw it, he understood that King Qin was interested in these things. He immediately said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment. I'm going to assemble it. Let the king see and understand. ”
King Qin nodded. Let Shangwen do it.
Shang Wen ordered someone to lift the machine tool. Distribute several wrenches. This is also made by a blacksmith. It's too inconvenient to not have this thing. Then tell how to do it, and start doing.
With the efforts of Shangwen, the machine tool was finally completed. King Qin obviously couldn't wait. He began to walk up to Shang Wen and watch.
Shangwen began to connect the toggle rod to the machine tool. Dagong Gaocheng. Shang Wen ordered people to start boiling water.
After a while, under the neat drive, the steam engine began to drive the wooden wheel, and the rotation of the wooden wheel drove the crank rod to drive the whole machine tool to operate. Driven by a set of belts, the pulp in the pulp tank is constantly swept by the frame on the runner. The speed is just right. Then the people began to take out the frame to dry, peel off the paper and put it on the conveyor belt. Then start to get into the pulp. Take it out again. That's it. Cycle. Very fast. The people soon began to sweat. The pulp in the pulp tank drops rapidly. A few people who burned the pulp were a little too busy.
On the other hand, Meng Tian's brushes also began to be produced. The drilling machine is constantly drilling. The next person first put the pen barrel into the funnel groove, and constantly put it on the borehole under the impetus of gravity, because the borehole was adjusted, the length of the borehole was the same. Then the hair begins to be braided, curled, and formed into a clump.
Although there is no finished product. But this speed makes those subordinates who rub the glue sweat profusely. It's too fast. Miss.
King Qin saw all this. Some don't believe it. "This..." King Qin obviously needed Shang Wen to explain everything in front of him.
Shang Wen walked up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the credit of the steam engine. When the water boils, the steam rises upward. Drove the piston above. The piston drives the wooden wheel, the wooden wheel drives the crank, and the crankrod drives the machine tool. This is what the king saw. ”
"The steam is so powerful. The widow also sees it every day." King Qin asked in disbelief.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The power of steam is very great. This one made by the minister is too small. If you build a bigger point, you can drive bigger things, such as making weapons, and you can also drive a lot of cars, so that when the king fights, he doesn't have to requisition more people to transport food. Shang Wen said.
"Yes." King Qin was obviously still digesting and absorbing what Shang Wen said, because there were some things that King Qin couldn't think of. First of all, what is in front of you is unacceptable.
"Sir, you are ingenious. Come on, reward Mr. Qin with 100 catties of gold, a mansion, and 100 catties of gold from Meng Tian. King Qin said loudly.
"Thank you, the king." Shang Wen and Meng Tian said together.
"This official position, the widow can't be given to Mr. yet." King Qin gently held up Shang Wen and Meng Tian with his hands and said.
"The king doesn't have to worry, the minister still has one more thing to ask the king forbid." Shang Wen arched his hand and said.
