Chapter 23 Inspections

[Thank you for the "Dongdong" tip!] The sea can come out, and the book has to be read \(^o^)/~]

Wei Pu looked at Zhang Rou pitifully: "Sister Xiaorou, you have to promise me something!" ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Rou stared at him curiously.

"You can't tell that to Neon Charm! Otherwise, I'll be miserable, and I'll be annoyed to death......" Wei Pu said Aidi.

"That's it? It's a trifle. Zhang Rou swore that she would keep it secret, and as for the problem of intermittent gossip, she selectively forgot about it.

"A gentleman's word!"

"Horses are hard to chase! Besides, she won't come to me, don't worry! Zhang Rou waved her hand and said nonchalantly.

Wei Pu shook his head: "You don't know, she can't do anything else, but she is very good at finding people, according to my experience, it won't take long for her to find here." I heard that the emperor has recently released a new book, I have to go back to the library to take a look, don't tell her that I went to the library! ”

"Don't worry!" Zhang Rou gave him an OK gesture.

After Wei Pu finished explaining, he ran towards the academy with joy.

Sure enough, as soon as he walked with his front foot, Bao Nimei followed him to the gate of Zhang's mansion with his back foot. However, when she saw the guards at the door dressed in black, staring at her in such a daze, she hesitated a little and wandered outside the door alone for a long time.

One of the guards couldn't stand it anymore, and his eyes were about to be dizzy: "Hey, that little girl, you can talk if you have something, don't wander around if you have nothing to do!" ”

Bao Nimei stopped, looked around, and looked at the guard suspiciously.

The guard pointed at her and said, "Yes, just you!" ”

Bao Nimei came to him and whispered, "I...... Can I go in? I'm looking for someone and he's in there! ”

This guard born in the Mo family didn't have much of a fight, and said very casually: "What's your name?" I'll give you a briefing! ”

"My name is Bao Nimei, and you say that you are Bao Zheng's daughter."

"Just wait! I'll go and report it! ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Bao Nimei obediently gave him a team salute, that is, the kind of a certain pioneer, of course, it was also a spoof by Zhao Zhen.

The guard who was turning to go up the steps was coldly thundered to the ground by the word uncle, didn't they look a little anxious!

After a while, Zhang Rou came out and cordially pulled Bao Nimei to have a wide conversation.

It didn't take long for Bao Nimei to leave Zhang Rou's house in a huff and go straight to the academy.

Zhang Rou sent her to the door, looked at her back, and muttered to herself: Little Puzi, you can't blame your sister, but a girl is not a gentleman!

Wei Pu, who was reading "Heavenly Creations" in the library, couldn't help but shudder.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Since Wang Shenli came to reflect the problem of the steam engine, Zhao Zhen has been trying to find a time to go to the research institute to sort it out, but he has been busy churning out "Heavenly Creation". Finally completed the cottage work, and then he found time to go to the research institute.

Zhao Zhen was dressed in civilian clothes, with his hands behind his back, and walked from room to room in the research institute, followed by a group of people with small books.

Chinese people like to talk about seniority, and the first place Zhao Zhen went to was of course Qin Tiansi, who was personally led by Yan Su, the dean of the research institute.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thanks to the Imperial Court! On behalf of all colleagues of the Royal Academy, I warmly welcome the Holy Majesty to inspect and guide the work!! Yan Su greeted him warmly, and there was a welcome ceremony for each other.

"Aiqing! You stay in the research institute all day, you don't go out of the door, you don't step out of the second door, when will you learn these fancy intestines? Zhao Zhen smiled and looked at Yan Su's imitation of the four different military salutes.

"Hehe, if you go back to the emperor, the minister will know the world if he doesn't go out! Besides, your light shines on the earth, and the minister doesn't have to go out to know that you like to represent others, and the minister is to learn from you! Yan Suhan smiled and rubbed his hands.

"Pull you down! As far as your habits are concerned, I don't know that every time you say something good, it's definitely not good, let's talk about it, what do you want this time? ”

"The emperor is wise! I heard that some time ago, you gave 10 million yuan to each department, do you want to see if it means to the research institute......"

"Hahaha...... This time, Aiqing miscalculated, their money was not from me, it was donated to them for the queen, regardless of my business! Zhao Zhen looked at him with a smile, just like looking at his embarrassed appearance.

Yan Su is not a simple lord, his eyes rolled a few times, and he thought about it: "The minister understands, in a few days, the minister will take the big guy to the door of the future queen to cry and ......."

"Alright! Don't put me on hold to act here, if you have a project at hand, report it, and if it is reasonable, I will be in charge of giving you approval. Let's take a look at your recent situation today, Aiqing will introduce me to you? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, please come here...... The big guy in front of you is the Lotus Type 3. The minister made a major change to the whole shape, and changed the previous floating ruler to a turntable, through the flow of water to drive the miniature waterwheel, and then drive the pointer to rotate, and then by adjusting the gear ratio, adjust the rotation speed of the hour, minute and second hand. So, you can see that this big disc is made by the minister according to the clock you mentioned, and in addition, the minister also has the calendar of the year, which can also be automatically switched by turning the gears...... The only regret is that I still need to add water from time to time, and I can't let the bucket on it dry. ”

Zhao Zhen watched the second hand turn, and silently counted sixty numbers, according to the previous image, it was almost the same: "Well, it looks pretty good, but I don't know if you are going at this time. ”

"Your Majesty! That's what Chan thought, and in order to keep the water level consistent, Chan designed an adjustment pool under the cistern to keep the water level constant, and at the same time, he could fine-tune the speed by adjusting the height of the pool. However, the ministers have paid little attention to it now, and the ministers have shifted their focus to this mechanical clock here, how about you take a look? Yan Su first pointed to the details of the lotus leak and explained it to Zhao Zhen, and then led Zhao Zhen to the next goal.

Drum kit? This is Zhao Zhen's first impression. The whole clock is like a big drum, and the lower four feet carry it, and if it were not for the turning hands above, it would be a drum.

"Tell me a little bit!" Zhao Zhen said a little excitedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! This clock is made based on the information of the clock you provided, and it should all be your credit, and the minister just made it. The clock is powered by a steel mainspring that drives the gears at all levels, which rotate at a constant speed through an escapement consisting of an escape wheel, pallet fork, double discs and limit clips...... However, because we still have many limitations in hand-crafting these parts, the precision and size cannot meet your requirements, so we can only make it so large, and it is not easy to get it in a small ......"

Zhao Zhen touched the mechanical clock, very excited in his heart, but his face was very calm: "Big is a little bigger, but it doesn't matter, continue to improve it, one day it will be smaller." What else has been achieved? Put them all out for me to see! ”

"Your Majesty, please move outside with your courtiers...... This is an astronomical telescope made of glass provided by the Ministry of Materials, of course, this workmanship is still very rough, and the other stars cannot be seen clearly, but the moon can see some. Those who say that Chang'e ran to the moon and Wu Gang cut down trees are all lies, and they are all pitted and barren...... The emperor forgave the sin, and the ministers digressed again, you see, in addition to these big guys, the ministers also made a thermometer. Those old Taoist priests didn't do anything all day long, but the mercury they came up with was still quite useful, and it could be used as a thermometer in this glass tube...... You're amazing! ”

"Oh, I have to look at this, how did you get the scale on it?" Zhao Zhen took it over and played with it carefully, although the workmanship was not good enough, it was indeed a simple mercury thermometer, and there was even a scale from zero to one hundred.

"Hey, hey! The minister saw that there was a talk in your books, saying that when our water just froze, it was zero degrees, and it boiled to 100 degrees, oh, no, there seems to be a standard atmospheric pressure limit, this minister hasn't figured it out yet, but the minister thinks it shouldn't be much different! Your Majesty, do you say that? ”

"There is a slight discrepancy, it is not a big problem now, this thermometer can be done like this first, but in my experience, Aiqing can change the position of one hundred to ninety-eight, so it is very close. Overall, all of you Aiqing have done a good job, continue to work hard, and I will give you a year-end bonus! ”

"Thank Emperor Longen!"

"Alright! Let's all go flat! Let's go to the Department of Agriculture! ”

Xiang Zhongtian squeezed over: "Your Majesty, please here!" ”

Several departments of the research institute are not far away, and they can be walked in a few steps, Zhao Zhen is very familiar with this place, and Xiang Zhongtian is just a good person.

"What have you been up to lately?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister and his colleagues have been sorting out various crop seeds and planting methods, and experimenting in an artificial simulation environment, and the hybrid rice project you said is also continuing to follow up, although this principle and method are very simple, but it is too time-consuming, and there is some luck in it, the minister has no regrettable harvest until now, please the emperor to condemn!" Since the establishment of the research institute, the harvest of the Agricultural Division has been at the bottom, which makes Xiang Zhongtian a little timid in front of Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen solemnly helped him up, and said earnestly: "Aiqing, please get up quickly!" I understand your difficulties, the experimental cycle of crops is long, everyone can understand, as long as you work hard, one day you will be able to make the hybrid rice I told you, and then thousands of people in the Great Song Dynasty will be able to eat enough, you are doing a feat of immeasurable merit, calm down, you will succeed! ”

"Emperor Xie, the ministers will never give up!" The officials of the Department of Agriculture all stood in front of Xiang Zhongtian to show their loyalty to Zhao Zhen.

Next, I was going to stop by the Industrial Division, but Li Xingxiu of the Industrial Division has been taking people to tinker with the salt works along the coast, and the results are obvious to all. So Zhao Zhen crossed the Industrial Division and went directly to the Materials Division.

Li Tiezhu of the Materials Division, the only rising star who is not trained by Zhao Zhen since childhood, has been in charge of Jingxi Industrial Park because of his poor foundation, mainly managing smelting.

The remaining Chen Xinhua, Zhang Qirui and Yang Sien took on the work of receiving the emperor, and the workshop of the Materials Department was also full of various bottles and cans, and the three of them took turns to introduce Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, the things you see in these bottles and cans are the results of the two years that the ministers have been waiting for. Since you issued the Stone Order, the ministers have collected a lot of ore raw materials, and a small number of them have been refined by us. For example, the gold in this bottle is to dissolve the ore with mercury, filter out impurities, and then evaporate the mercury to obtain gold; There are also these two sodium chloride and ** purified from coarse salt, which are purified according to the principle that the solubility of the two is affected by temperature and changed according to the chemistry book you taught to the ministers...... In short, a lot of this stuff is based on the knowledge of your former ministers and other ministers......"

Zhao Zhen nodded: "You all did a good job, anyway, in such a humble situation, I am already very satisfied with being able to make so many things." Remember the periodic table I told you to memorize? ”

"Remember!" Chen Xinhua saw that the two companions were a little hesitant, so he stepped forward.

"How much of it did you get out of it? Can you ever count it? ”
