Chapter Seventy-Six: The Invention of Linglong

……

After Zhao Zhe agreed, the queen took her maid and personally led Xu Linglong to Kunning Palace.

And Zhao Zhe drank the porridge with them. Only then did he gather the few strange talents brought by Xu Hong into a pile, took a piece of rice paper and a quill pen, and said to them: "I heard that most of you Aiqing are people who are used to inventing and creating, but I don't know if you can understand gears. "Since Zhao Zhe has traveled through, he has only known that this is in ancient times, and he has not understood the scientific and technological strength of this era at all.

Several monsters looked at each other, and one of them seemed to want to have a seizure, but he immediately thought that the person in front of him was the emperor, not the talkative boss of his family's labor department. Then his face was only slightly ugly and said, "Your Majesty, we all understand." ”

Zhao Zhe thought about it, they should also understand, after all, in his memory, there was the use of gears a long time ago. For example, the irrigation waterwheel is a gearing system.

"Then you Aiqing must have seen the ploughing ox ploughing the ground, is there a way to design a set of large and small gear combination, and then use a device similar to a water treading wheel, when the ploughing device can produce the power of an ox and plow the ground. Of course, let's ignore how fast people need to step on it and whether their physical strength can keep up. Zhao Zhe slowly, as far as he could, inform him of his needs.

A few of them, after some effort, understood Zhao Zhe's words. So I began to pick up the paper, draw, write, and calculate. It didn't take long for the answer to be given. One of them was in his thirties, his face was pale, his name was Zhou Dai, and his voice was a little weak: "Your Majesty, I don't know if the person named Sailuban under the command of the national teacher is still there?" Weichen thought that he often had some special ideas, but he could use them. ”

Seruban? Zhao Zhe thought about it carefully for a while, and suddenly realized: "I almost forgot that I asked him to design and manufacture an internal strength tester last time. It seems to be done in cooperation with your Ministry of Engineering, right? Then he greeted Xiao Duozi and asked him to go to Sailuban to come over. Only then did he smile at Zhou Dai and said, "Zhou Aiqing, you cooperated with him to do the tester last time, right?" ”

Zhou Dai is obviously the spokesman among them, and he can speak a little. After nodding, he took the rice paper and said, "Your Majesty, according to your meaning, Weichen and the others have already calculated it." If the ploughing tool is driven by manpower through gears and bearings, it can be done theoretically. But even if it is well lubricated, it needs to be pedaled very quickly to plow. And it is impossible for people to be in rapid motion all the time. ”

"That is, it can be done, but even if this thing is made, it can't be used to plow the ground?" Zhao Zhe thought about it, gears can use speed to accumulate power. If the strength of one person is ten times worse than the strength of a bull, even if the loss in power transmission is not considered, it must be at least ten times the speed.

"Can we replace manpower with other forces?" Zhao Zhe blinked his eyes again and asked, "For example, the wind, like a boat, pulls out a sail." ”

Zhou Dai and the others frowned, and pondered and calculated again. Zhou Dai Zhengse said: "Your Majesty, it is theoretically feasible. I remember that Linglong had done this before, trying to turn the sails from the ship to the carriage. ”

Get the sails from the ship to the wagon? Well, this delicate head does have some ideas. I was a little curious: "Then how is she doing here?" Although Zhao Zheming knew that this thing was not feasible, he still couldn't help but want to ask her how far she could go.

"Naturally, it was difficult to move around at first, unless it was a windy day. So, Linglong gathered a few of us to design and build a carriage by ourselves. The various skeletons were made with the lightest materials in mind, and she even designed and built a gear system herself. In the end, the carriage was able to walk on its own in ordinary windy weather. But it's not very practical. No one wants a carriage that can't walk on the road when it's a little windy, but has to get out of the carriage and push it himself. ”

Haha, interesting and interesting. Zhao Zhe laughed happily: "I understand, what Zhou Aiqing means is that even if the ploughing tool is designed, there are not many practical surnames, right?" However, Linglong's idea is indeed good, not bad. ”

In fact, Zhao Zhe roughly knows that the biggest threshold for the development of science and technology is the use of energy. In today's world, the use of energy is still in the most primitive state, at most it is the use of some of the most primitive natural energy. Wind energy, for example, and a little bit of hydropower. But even this most primitive use of energy is in an extremely backward state. As for fire, it is only about cooking and heating.

The biggest obstacle to the use of wind energy as a driving force is that it is difficult to control and unpredictable. Since the first time humans began to use the power of steam, which can be controlled by humans, it has begun to enter the era of rapid development.

As a traveler, Zhao Zhe's biggest advantage is that he has a lot more information about his concept and surname than the ancients. If he was to make a steam engine, it would never be possible. But for these scientists who have entered a bottleneck state, let's call it the Great Zhao Empire, they still have the ability to dial it a little. And many things, with just a little dialing, can open up a whole new world in their thinking.

Just when Zhao Zhe was about to mention the steam drive, he saw Xiao Duozi hurrying over with Sailuban. And almost at the same time, the queen also led Xu Linglong, who was bathing and changing clothes and dressed up slightly.

Let's put aside the obscene image of Sailuban, just look at the exquisiteness of the white dress that the queen treasured not long after bathing, Baili was flushed. Zhao Zhe couldn't help but keep his eyes firmly on her. To say that her figure is tall and slender, not inferior to the queen. Looking at her face again, her facial features are delicate and like delicate works of art. Her eyes, in particular, had not been covered by their dirty appearance before. Now when the whole body is refreshing, it is particularly eye-catching. Between the flow of Yingying, it seems to integrate the aura of heaven and earth.

If you want to talk about the queen, it is a collection of virtuous ladies in the world, as if she was born a noblewoman, and her temperament is noble and elegant. And exquisite, but delicate and pink, full of beauty. Sure enough, Linglong, who can be side by side with the queen of the three beauties, has her own proud capital.

Seeing that Zhao Zhe looked as if he was about to devour the delicate water spirit alive, he made the queen cover her mouth slightly, and glanced at him charmingly. turned to pull the little hand of Linglong, who was stared at by Zhao Zhe and was chilling: "Sister Linglong, I said that person, he will definitely stare at you for a long time without letting go of his eyes, right?" ”

"The Emperor, Sister Queen. Me, I'm not used to wearing this dress. Linglong secretly glanced at Zhao Zhe, who was standing awkwardly and smiling, and said weakly: "Otherwise, or I'll go back and change into the clothes I usually wear." ”

After Zhao Zhe glanced at the queen, he also withdrew his somewhat lascivious face. Thinking of the matter, he beckoned to Na Linglong and said, "Linglong come and sit here, I just and Zhou Dai and a few of them are discussing the windmill you made." ”

At the mention of the windmill, Linglong's eyes lit up. The girl who had just been cultivated by the queen was reserved, and it was gone all of a sudden. stepped forward quickly, sat directly in Zhao Zhe's Taishi chair, and said to Zhou Dai: "Old Zhou, I have an excellent idea recently. If it succeeds, you can throw away the annoying sail. ”

"What?" Zhou Dai and a few others looked at each other.
