Dead, only three people died in total, and five were injured. And all of them were slaves, all of them the lowest slaves of hard labor.

In the troubled times when human life is as cheap as a dog, who has not seen a dead person.

In Datang, where society has been stable for ten years, the people of Yaozhou from top to bottom, including the slaves themselves, don't care about anyone dying.

"Isn't there a standard for the amount of heat produced by a pound of coal, burned in three breaths? Isn't there a standard for this pound of coal, the gas produced by the water that burns it, and the machines that push it? Wu Cao's small bamboo board landed on Ma Yuan's shoulder.

It was already six o'clock in the morning, and Ma Yuan couldn't sleep. Went to the workshop early!

Not because of the dead man, but because his idea seemed to be feasible, increasing the furnace temperature and making the output tube one size smaller could definitely increase the burst force of the steam engine, and the speed produced by blowing the blades by blowing the air alone was more than five times higher than usual.

Wu Cao couldn't sleep, it was really because of the dead.

After hearing the sound of the workshop being in full swing, Wu Cao couldn't help but come to the workshop again.

I happened to see Ma Yuan updating the stove that blew up, and it seemed that he was ready to try again.

"Ma Yuan, you can drink a barrel of wine alone!"

In the face of Wu Cao's questioning, Ma Yuan seemed to understand something? "Your Royal Highness, you are too clever. If there is a value for each type of output, then a detailed calculation can be made. ”

"If you're really not stupid, this palace rewards you with something!"

Wu Cao already has a certain understanding of Datang, what would happen if she said the dead. Then at most, these guys will say that Princess Mingyue is benevolent and doesn't play a big role.

But Wu Cao told Ma Yuan, you should be careful, many things can be done by Jihua.

For example, the size of the furnace body, the thickness, the size of the water tank, the thickness, the pipes, etc., are all well documented. So. Ma Yuan naturally understood. The water tank that I made by my imagination is certainly not as sure as it has been made after detailed calculations.

The craftsmen of Datang are not academic idiots.

Based on the principle of leverage, the craftsmen of Datang have already had a set of extraordinary research. Very detailed data-based theory. So in the transmission part. Not much worse than modern people, what is worse is a realm, such as a gearbox. The clutch is a superb theory that goes beyond the general principle of leverage.

What did Wu Cao give to Ma Yuan.

A thermometer with a maximum temperature that can only test a thermometer of one hundred and fifty degrees. Then there is the principle of the mercury thermometer.

"Ma Yuan, when the water is almost frozen, but it is not frozen, it is assumed to be one degree. Then when the water is completely boiling, it is 100 degrees, and based on this principle, it is a thermometer. Degrees are also divided in this way. How much do you understand? "Wu Cao talked about the most modern people probably everyone knows the common knowledge.

But magnifying Tang, this knowledge may be understood, but it may not be systematic.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, so-and-so seems to understand that water freezes when it is extremely cold, and when it boils, it is gas. Her Royal Highness the Princess has set a scale for this change, just as wheat sprouts only one inch and ripens one foot eight inches. In other words, one dollar is one money, ten dollars and one tael, sixteen taels and one catty, the same is true. ”

Ma Yuan has read a lot of books, and he has also studied ancient arithmetic books.

"That's right, everything has a degree, and so is temperature. Speaking of steel plates, elasticity, hardness, do you dare to say that this is not a degree? Degree is the rule, and only with the rules can there be greater development. The first steam engine you made according to it, give you a quarter of an hour, and think for yourself how it is different from the second! ”

After Wu Cao finished speaking, Chunlan poured a cup of hot milk and gave Ma Yuan a glass of white water.

Ma Yuan sat down cross-legged and thought very attentively.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Wu Cao urged, "Have you thought of anything?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the first steam engine. I remember that each part had a very strict size, and when it was made, the manual work was not fine, and there was no haode lathe. Thinking that the dimensions of many parts are a little wrong with the original drawing, Zuihou is barely assembled together. ”

Wu Cao nodded: "Go on, listen to this palace!" ”

"The second one is still the same drawing, and it is more detailed. Now that I think about it, it should be less wrong with the size, so it is easier to use. I would like to ask Your Highness, is it possible to say that the size has been calculated in detail? What is the theoretical argument? ”

"That's what this palace said, there is a degree to everything."

At Wu Cao's suggestion, Chunlan brought three thick books, one was originally sorted out by Li Yuanxing, mathematics from junior high school to high school, and one physics from junior high school to high school. Zuihou is the basic materials science, which includes the characteristics of steel, iron, copper, and other substances.

"In half a year, the palace has to take an exam, and one hundred points are full, sixty points are qualified, seventy is good, eighty is excellent, and ninety is excellent. What classification will you have in Ma Yuan, this king will wait and see. At the moment, don't go to any new steam engines, you're still far away, think about what good things can make farming easier. Let's start with the God-given plow, what is the real wisdom of the plow, if you don't understand, you yourself will be demoted to the fourth class steward! ”

After Wu Cao finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, signaling that Ma Yuan could go out.

Ma Yuan knelt down, kowtowed heavily, held three books in both hands, and respectfully withdrew.

He didn't accept it.

Although Wu Cao studied economics, he was also at the level of a scholar.

When I was in junior high school and high school, I was definitely a top student in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

With the pulley set that Wu Cao asked Ma Yuan to make, although he only tried to pull heavy objects on the slope once, Ma Yuan saw the mystery.

Originally, he thought that the same was true for the gearbox, and he was preparing to try to make it.

Holding the books Wu Cao gave him, he handed two to his attendants, opened the book of Fundamental Physics and looked at it. This is the rest of the part after Li Yuanxing removed the electrical part.

Looking at it, Ma Yuan slapped his thigh hard: "That's right, go and find Lao Hei, that Aristotle seems to be their person there!" He said that the iron ball was very interesting, and the heavy one landed first. But then it was written that this was a mistake. Although this old man is a wise sage, there are times when he makes mistakes. ”

"What a smart man, what a mistake!" Lu Chengqing routinely inspected several important workshops every day and happened to meet Ma Yuan.

"Lu Fu!" Ma Yuan gave a salute, then pointed to the book and said: "Her Royal Highness Princess Mingyue gave the book, and it is recorded in the book that hundreds of years ago, that place was called Greece. There is a great sage in them, and this great sage is a very smart person. He wrote many books that have been handed down to posterity. Here is one example. For example, this ten-pound iron ball and a one-pound iron ball are thrown down at the same time, and the great sage said that naturally the ten catties will land first, because the weight of ten catties! ”

"It's nature. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with the words of the great sage. Not to mention. The heavy ones must land faster! ”

Lu Chengqing is considered a Confucian scholar. He subconsciously thought that the Great Sage could not be wrong. What's more, people think that heavy nature falls quickly.

"Lu Fu. The book says that the great sage was wrong. Someone has made shiyan and landed together! ”

"Impossible, how could the Great Sage be wrong!" Lu Chengqing retorted loudly.

Although Ma Yuan's status is low, he will not retreat in this matter: "Lu Fu, it's better to give it a try." ”

"Try it!" Lu Chengqing also had some shock in his heart.

If this book didn't come out of Wu Cao, I'm afraid he would have ordered the book to be thrown into the furnace immediately.

But what can't you do.

Wu Cao yawned in the room: "This palace wants to sleep for a while, nothing important, don't bother me!" ”

There is no formal order, just shiyan. Lu Chengqing wanted to see the results, because he was not very confident anymore. The theory of the ancients may not be correct, otherwise there would be no such huge steam engine.

Is there still a small number of ancient classics subverted by the Qin Palace?

Ma Yuan also wanted to try, and only by shiyan himself did he know what was going on. As the old saying goes, it is better to believe in a book than to have no book at all!

Shiyan's location is on the bell tower where a restaurant goes.

"Princess Mingyue, Princess Mingyue!" Li Changying rushed directly into Wu Cao's room.

Wu Cao, who was woken up, pouted, and a hundred were unhappy: "It's a very bad thing to disturb other people's sleep!" ”

"They're going to Shiyan to throw iron balls!"

"What iron balls to throw?" Wu Cao asked lazily.

"It's a ten-pound, one-pound iron ball. It is said that it should be the heavy one that lands first! ”

Wu Cao waved his hand: "It's really boring, naturally they will land together." This game His Royal Highness King Qin played eighteen years ago! Speaking of this, Wu Cao sat up violently, his big bright eyes turned, and he immediately said: "Although it has been played, it is extremely interesting, it is better to go to Princess Changying herself!" ”

"If you want to go, you will naturally go."

"You go first, change your clothes in this palace!" Wu Cao took Li Changying out, and then called Chunlan over and whispered, "Go and call this guy Shui Siyuan immediately." ”

What's so fun about throwing iron balls, the result is naturally positive.

However, Wu Cao suddenly realized that this was a breakthrough, a thousand years earlier than Europe. This is the skepticism and practice of science, and science can only progress through constant imagination, doubt, and practice.

Shui Siyuan should be recruited, and before he came, he was still betting with Liu Erxiao, and the iron ball landed first.

"The iron balls must have landed at the same time, and this palace only tells you one thing, sometimes you think it is right, but it may not be right. You immediately go to the whole of Yaozhou to spread a theory, and practice is the only way to identify the truth. Then ask the literati to quarrel over this theory. ”

"I don't understand much, but His Highness will definitely prepare it if he tells him."

"After you watch the game of throwing the iron ball, you understand. Remember, practice is the only means of identifying truth. Remember this sentence and spread it out. Especially let this kid Ma Yuan firmly remember that this palace is not afraid of his weird ideas, nor is he afraid of wasting money on everything, as long as he can do better! ”

Shui Siyuan nodded heavily.

"So-and-so, let's do it!"

Shui Siyuan has already decided to take a look at the iron ball thrower first, and then how much he can realize. (To be continued......)
