Chapter 396: Invention Conference
After the discussion in the Chengqian Hall in the morning, Wang Xu returned to the study with great interest.
He took out a brush and a blank piece of paper, and began to ponder and write down some nouns on the paper that only he could understand, such as soap, soap, shampoo, coal stove, washboard, bra, canned food, pillows, reading glasses, magnifying glasses, thermos flasks, bright tiles, toffee, ......
After Wang Xu made a list of all kinds of items that he felt could be made or imitated in this time and space with the current technology, he found that there were hundreds of large and small items on a full page, and if he was alone, I am afraid that it would be difficult to achieve it in three or five years.
So, Wang Xu called Zhang Meng and asked him to invite five scholars to Wenyuan Pavilion, as well as several well-known blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons, tailors and other craftsmen in the Western Capital City, and even some of them are still market hooligans, for these, Wang Xu doesn't mind, as long as he has the ability, he can do it, Wang Xu is ready to hold an "Invention and Creation Coordination Meeting" with everyone, and the destination is in the Science and Technology Institute next to Wenyuan Pavilion, which is also a secret forbidden place, guarded by Yulin Army.
At noon, dozens of people from all walks of life in the western capital city who received the summons dropped their busy work and rushed to the science and technology institute in a hurry, except for the five scholars, the faces of the craftsmen in the other markets were full of excitement and curiosity, although everyone didn't know what Wang Xu called himself over to order, but everyone felt that it must be a good thing, because a word of invitation was added, and when they were invited, they were unusually polite.
It's no wonder that everyone has these philistine ideas, Wang Xu has always treated people as people, and he takes unusual care of the people.
After everyone gathered, Wang Xu came to the conference from the room with a thick stack of sketches, and began to divide labor and give on-site guidance and explanations according to the industries that various small inventions may involve.
In the lobby, there are almost 100 people, including many original members of the Academy of Science and Technology.
Since it was from the time of brushing his teeth that aroused the urge to reform. Wang Xu was naturally the first to let everyone design toothbrushes and make toothpaste.
He took a picture and began to make a gesture to several big carpenters: "The name of this thing we made this time is called a toothbrush." It's about six inches long, with a hand-held handle on one end and a brush head studded with fine bristles on the other......"
After several master carpenters fully understood Wang Xu's intentions, he said to a medical expert on the side: "Nowadays, the salt we use to clean our mouths is too simple, which is not conducive to removing the germs accumulated in our mouths at night. There are several possibilities for the specific recipe: mix honeysuckle juice, salt powder, talcum powder to make a white paste-like object; Mix mint powder with salt powder and starch to make a cyan paste; ...... with green tea powder, sugar, salt powder, and soaphorn powder."
The medical master is from the medical school, and often discusses the problem of surgical treatment in the medical school, and naturally understands the germs in Wang Xu's mouth, and also knows what Wang Xu's purpose is in making these various combinations of plasters, but he just asked with some confusion: "It is not difficult to mix these pastes, but it requires a large amount of salt powder and some other Chinese herbs, even if the combination can be successful, the cost must be not low." Especially salt powder and sugar, which are very rare things in ordinary people's homes, did King Wen ever think of a way out of toothpaste in the future? ”
Wang Xu immediately organized a toothpaste manufacturing team at the scene, with a total of five people, including a respected divine doctor from the medical school, then a scholar from Wenyuan Pavilion, and then three ordinary people, but everyone is a folk doctor and understands pharmacology very well.
Wang Xu explained to the five people: "You only need to follow the recipe and manufacture a large number of them. Don't worry about the rest, don't worry about the way out in the future, your task is to make, but there is one thing to be aware of. The manufactured product must be usable, and there must not be the slightest harm to the body. ”
Everyone agreed after thinking about it, and did not ask Wang Xu's original.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Xu set up a team of five people, which was responsible for making toothbrushes, which was much simpler. So, five carpenters can do it.
After completing the task of toothbrush and toothpaste, Wang Xu called a few blacksmiths, and then took a sketch of a coal stove that can burn honeycomb coal, and began to compare with a few blacksmiths that the production of this thing is not complicated, and there is no chemical reaction involved, so Wang Xu took a short time to explain it clearly to a few blacksmiths.
Considering that vacuum compression packaging cannot be achieved in this era, Wang Xu decided to use the method of heating wax seal to isolate the air, so the task he taught the blacksmiths was to develop a thin iron sheet to facilitate the production of canned boxes, and it didn't take long to say very clearly.
When several tailors gathered in front of Wang Xu, he took out a bra pattern with some twists, and then muttered to everyone according to his own, and after a while, several big tailors looked at Wang Xu with strange eyes, but the look revealed in their eyes clearly understood the purpose of the things that Wang Xu needed to make them, and when Wang Xu next took out a legend of briefs, as well as a design that was convenient for women to change to intimate clothes when the monthly letter came, the faces of several masters had already shown very shocked expressions……
None of this has been made public until now, and the tailoring department of the harem has only made it a little bit, and until now, it can be regarded as truly public!
This is the first time these people have heard of it.
Wen Mengliang and the bras they were carrying, except for Wang Xu, no one knew.
..........
The first meeting of the invention meeting of the Western Capital Academy of Science and Technology, which was talked about by later historians and scientists, ended in a noisy mood in which a group of masters from all walks of life were excited, puzzled, surprised, or longing.
The reason why it is called the first meeting shows that this accidental gathering is just the beginning, and later evolved into a system and was retained, Wang Xu originally conceived hundreds of inventions and productions, in the first meeting, only he arranged more than 20 kinds of ideas, not that he deliberately wanted to hold down some ideas and not announce them, but because the 20 kinds of productions that have been arranged have also been involved in the meeting, and the craftsmen who also need to participate in the meeting have been busy for a while.
As the saying goes, the rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step, as long as there is Wang Xu's whimsy, it is only a matter of time before these uncomplicated productions from later generations become reality. (To be continued.) )
