Chapter 110 Application of the Steam Engine (II)
"It's better to ask the official to teach me." Sun Qingshang said decisively.
Before Sun Qing, the head of the household, finished speaking, he heard Zhao Youjian, the prefect of Hangzhou, say loudly: "Since we want to build a bathhouse in Hangzhou, of course we should do it locally in Hangzhou." Then I asked the official family to leave this matter to me. ”
Someone is willing to take the initiative to ask for help, and Zhao Jiaren has no reason to refuse. If they can't even open the bathroom, such officials don't care to let them do it. Zhao Jiaren said: "Governor Zhao, stay after the meeting." ”
Sun Qing originally felt that it was inappropriate for the household department to come forward, but Zhao Youjian came forward, so he naturally backed down. When the meeting ended, Zhao Youjian was left alone in front of Zhao Jiaren, and he asked, "The official family, but I don't know what it means to open a bathroom?" It can be seen that Zhao Youjian didn't believe Zhao Jiaren's previous words.
"How long has it been since you took money from your parents?" Zhao Jiaren asked rhetorically.
Zhao Youjian was stunned for a moment, and then his face flushed slightly, "Less than ten years." "He's almost forty years old this year, and it makes sense that he would blush like that.
"Since I don't take money from my parents at all, do I feel more and more confident in myself? Do you feel like you're really capable of doing more? Zhao Jiaren asked with a smile.
Zhao Youjian didn't answer immediately, the reason why he no longer took money from his parents back then was really not because he had more interest, but because Zhao Jiaren canceled all the monthly money of the Zhao clan after the surrender of Lin'an. At that time, Zhao Youjian had already invested in Zhao Jiaren's banner, and Zhao Jiaren's basic benefits and guarantees in the system were very complete, as long as he was not lavish, he didn't need to spend special money.
Seeing that Zhao Youjian was silent, Zhao Jiaren also pretended not to see it, since it was Zhao Youjian who took the initiative to ask for help, Zhao Youjian should be the one who eliminated all difficulties. "As I said earlier, these research institutes can't just rely on state taxes to conduct research. They have to be able to support themselves. I let them do these studies, and of course I have to take care of their way out. Moreover, opening a bathroom can also generally improve the hygiene level of Hangzhou. The overall benefit is still okay. ”
Although Zhao Jiaren said it so clearly, Zhao Youjian still felt that Zhao Jiaren must have some secrets that could not be disclosed. The fact that the dignified official family wants to open a bathhouse in Hangzhou is a bit strange no matter how you look at it. However, when the official family talks about this, Zhao Youjian also knows that he must experience the next inside story by himself.
Let Zhao Youjian leave, Zhao Jiaren went to the Machinery Department of the Ministry of Industry. When they arrived at the door, the doorman saw the official coming and immediately sent someone in to pass the ceremony. Before Zhao Jiaren walked into the hall, he saw the main person in charge rushing out. The director of the mechanical hall rushed over with the person in charge of researching boilers and steam engines.
If these three people weren't together, Zhao Jiaren would probably feel disappointed. Now that they are together, the Zhao Guanjia just happened to talk to them. When he arrived at the conference room, Zhao Jiaren asked directly: "Do boilers and steam engines produce energy?" ”
"Why do officials use such good things in the bathhouse?" Meng Shixian, director of the Machinery Department, replied a little aggrieved.
"The reliability of the steam engine needs to be improved." Zhao Jiaren said with a smile. He did not major in mechanics, and the steam engine model he saw in junior high school had long since left a vague impression of lack of East and West, so it was difficult to develop. Although there were many difficulties, it was the steam engine that was developed first.
Because of driving in the United States, Zhao Jiaren is well aware of the structure of electric motors and internal combustion engines. However, the current level of materials and metal processing is still far from enough, and electric motors and internal combustion engines are still being prototyped in the laboratory.
Seeing that his criticism seemed to be a big blow to Meng Shixian, the director of the Machinery Department, Zhao Jiaren changed to a more moderate statement: "Why do you think that the bathhouse seems backward? I think the bathhouse and the collection of ** heat are very advanced. ”
"What's going on with the heat?" Meng Shixian, the director of the Machinery Hall, was a little surprised.
"Come on, let's draw it." Zhao Jiaren went to the blackboard and picked up the chalk, "What do ordinary people need in life?" ”
"...... "A group of engineering students, you look at me, I look at you, and no one dares to speak first."
Looking at the familiar expressions of this group of engineering men, Zhao Jiaren understood that they wanted to say the indestructible truth, but felt that it was difficult to find a conclusion with a broad consensus, so Zhao Guanjia wrote two words on the blackboard, 'energy'.
Immediately followed a wave of admiration. The engineering man expressed his sincere admiration for the accuracy of this word. Someone else asked, in a manner that was by no means difficult, "Why not eat and drink Lazar?" ”
"Eating, drinking, and lazing is to solve the energy supply inside the human body, that is, the strength of the whole body, and the mental power we need to think about problems with our brains also needs to consume energy. If it was the wild era when Ru Mao drank blood before, these would probably be enough. Ever since humans started eating cooked food, they had to use fire. Once the fire is used, in addition to providing fuel for the fire, it is also necessary to provide the person who manages the fire. This has led to a relatively early official position in human society, Zhu Rong. fire, cooked food is provided. Later, there was slash-and-burn farming, and fire as a source of energy had a wider field of use, so the era of agricultural settlement appeared......"
It is relatively easy to convince science men, as long as they can come up with self-consistent natural science theories. Of course, arguing whether PHP is the best language is not a natural science theory. Zhao Guanjia's narration was easily recognized by the science men.
"It's the industrial age that we're starting now. We have to live a faster-paced life, and we need to allow ourselves to recover faster from fatigue. We need more energy to sustain our lives. If you're doing it from your own home, you'll need a lot of energy with the same efficiency. Let me ask you a question, which of you has more than two stoves at home? ”
No one raised their hand. Not to mention that a considerable proportion of these engineering men are completely in the cafeteria for three meals. Married men have not reached the point where they have two stoves at home. Honeycomb coal is not cheap, and the cost of firewood is much higher than honeycomb coal. There are also a few guys, such as the director of the mechanical hall, who has three stoves in use. But the director of the hall would not be a bird at such a time in any way.
"With the current heating method, the more concentrated it is, the more efficient it is. In the community where you are located, we can let everyone experience a more social lifestyle by building this kind of collective warmth. After Zhao Jiaren finished talking about the outline, he took out his overall design.
An hour later, under the admiring gaze of the engineering man, Zhao Guanjia went away a little tired. It was he who copied the advanced experience of the large state-owned enterprise schools that were managed on a large scale in the 80s and 90s, and there was no need for comprehensive design. Just talking about these specific things also requires physical strength, and the excited young people also ask a lot of questions, which adds a lot of workload.
"Official, we will definitely do a good job in our unit and residential area." When the director of the hall, Meng Shixian, accompanied Zhao Guan's family out, he assured with a firm attitude.
"Hmm." Zhao Jiaren didn't want to embarrass him. This kind of thing is so easy to deal with, especially the group of people who eat crabs first, will inevitably become the focus of criticism. So the Zhao official family didn't put pressure on him.
"Our new steam engine is being tested, so it shouldn't be faulty." Meng Shixian tried to say.
"No matter how low the failure rate is, it is impossible to be trouble-free." Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but want to untie the director.
"Yes, yes, yes. The failure rate will be much lower. Meng Shixian hurriedly responded.
"Then finish this hot thing first, by the way, you are an engineering student, don't give me a rush when you are engaged in construction. In order to start using the cement pillars before they were dry, a few days in advance. This is a fatal accident! Zhao Jiaren warned.
"Understood, understood!" Meng Shixian hurriedly agreed, and then asked: "What about the latest steam ......engine?"
"Notify me when it's done, I'll take a look." Zhao Jiaren replied.
Everyone is busy with their own business. Therefore, the toss caused by the steam engine was just a small wave in Hangzhou, and not many people paid attention to it. However, community water reform has attracted almost all the attention recently because it concerns everyone. Everyone didn't expect that as long as they sat at home and turned the faucet, there would be a steady flow of water coming out of it. Thousands of years of uninterrupted water lifting became history in an instant. Hangzhou has been a sensation because of this change.
Xiong Shang Shu is even more determined that he must work hard, work hard, and retire at the Shangshu level without making mistakes. If he can do this, Xiong Shangshu will be able to buy the same three-story building in Hangzhou as he lives in now at a very low price after Zhishi. Now that Hangzhou City has undergone such earth-shaking changes, Xiong Shangshu feels that a friend's drunken words that have been drunk for a long time are very sincere, and he said the hearts of everyone at the table. Don't go back to your hometown to squat in the dirt pit even if you are killed.
I'm used to using the flush toilet, not to mention the dirt pit. The gold-lacquered toilet is already an unbearable existence for Xiong Shangshu.
If you want to do it, you have to have results. So Xiong Shangshu sent a telegram to the young guys who were negotiating. The telegram told them not to be led by the Mongols. Mongolia was the aggressor, and the Great Song Dynasty was a counterattack against Mongolia. The two sides are not the same thing at all.
The telegram was delivered on the third day to the Great Song delegation negotiating in Texas. After reading the reminder from their boss, the two young negotiators felt the same way. They also quickly found themselves being taken away by the Mongols in the past two days. However, both young people knew that the Zhao family had never advocated 'grievances'. The mention of the Mongol invasion made the two feel rather grievous.
So the two of them first told their thoughts to Section Chief Liu of the Jinan Intelligence Department who sent the information, and then asked Section Chief Liu if he had any suggestions. Liu Pet also grinned after hearing this, "Two comrades, I am engaged in intelligence work and do not understand negotiation. ”
"If you talk to the Mongols, what will you say?" Du Zhen asked.
"If we talk, we put a knife to the chest of the Mongol. Say it loudly, be honest, be honest, and stab you to death! ”
Hearing Liu Chong's sincere words, everyone was silent. After a few moments, everyone laughed and was very happy.
