Chapter 279: First Tryout of the Telescope

Shao Yi remembered that Huang Qiurong had contact with Xia Yanqing, for fear that she would have some bad intentions. I was even more worried about Jiang Wangfu's kiss to him.

Although he didn't agree to that family matter, he was embarrassed to open his mouth in order to avoid trouble, so he didn't mention it to Xia Yanqing.

At this time, he was a little worried, then Huang Qiurong must not say anything that he has or not, let Xia Yanqing have some other thoughts about him, it will be bad.

In the second half of the next day, Shao Yi came out of the Terracotta Division early and went to the Qingyunzhai kiln.

At this time, the sun was just setting in the west, and the daylight was still good.

He waited in the living room for a while, and before he could drink half a cup of tea, the young man who reported it led him out and went to Xia Yanqing's office.

It was his first time here, and he stepped into the room with trepidation. Fortunately, there is no such thing as his worried face, or the unfamiliar attitude he deliberately put on.

I saw Xia Yanqing standing in the middle of the room, with a happy face, fiddling with a cylindrical object in her hand, and her two maids were guarding the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he beckoned to him happily, "Come on, come on, I'll show you something fresh first." ”

It seems that the mood is quite good, and I forgot to even mention the honorific title.

Shao Yi immediately set his eyes on the cylinder.

The thing was about an inch in diameter and about six or seven inches long, and the cylinder looked like it was made of iron...... This thing, can't it be the clairvoyance that Ah Can said?

Shao Yi hesitated and walked over to Xia Yanqing, looking at the thing she was holding in her hand, and his guessing thoughts were turning in his heart, and he was not happy at all.

The clairvoyance in his mind should be the same as the clairvoyance in the hearts of the emperor and Qu Jiang.

It's something in the sky, it's something for the gods, could it be such a rough iron sheet?

Will it subvert the image of the heavenly realm and the gods?

Xia Yanqing noticed that Shao Yi was very tired, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What's wrong?" But what happened? ”

Shao Yi came over, thinking that there was something wrong, but she was so happy that she forgot to be serious.

Seeing Xia Yanqing's nervous expression, Shao Yi hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'm just here to ask how you met Huang Qiurong yesterday." ”

As he spoke, he had already walked to Xia Yanqing's side, he pointed to the cylinder and asked, "This is the clairvoyance that Ah Chan made you?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Xia Yanqing's surprised expression was telling him that clairvoyance must be like this.

These two lenses were just polished by polishing craftsman Shi Changsheng, who also just loaded the lenses on a monocular.

She tried the effect, and it was okay, at least the idea was passable.

It's just that because of the errors caused by the calculation and measuring instruments, the field of view of this telescope is a bit problematic now, which is due to the fact that the curvature of the lens and the diameter of the outer cylinder of the telescope do not match enough.

Next, it only needs to be polished again to fine-tune the lens with a mirror curvature. I believe that after two or three more polishing, the requirements can be met.

At that time, if the monocular of the telescope was made more delicately, it would be delivered, and then a large amount of silver would be in hand.

Shao Yi didn't go to get the monoculars, but just tangled his gaze on it, looking very embarrassed.

Xia Yanqing followed his line of sight, carefully looked at the telescope in his hand, and the not-so-delicate monocular, and suddenly understood what he meant.

"Young Master Shao, clairvoyance is an effect, you can see in the distance, but it's not for the sake of looking good." Xia Yanqing said very unhappily.

In fact, if you look at it from the perspective of confidentiality, she would like to suggest that clairvoyance should be more simple and more down-to-earth, so as not to be noticeable.

When Xia Yanqing said this, and then met her rather imposing resentful eyes, Shao Yi immediately felt that his position was wrong.

Ah Chan is right, clairvoyance is for use, not for posing to look good.

Thinking about this, when Shao Yi reached out to pick up the telescope again, the apprehension in his heart had turned into expectation.

Xia Yanqing looked at his constantly changing expression, and took back the telescope he handed out and reminded: "We're talking about clairvoyance, you don't really expect this thing to be able to look thousands of miles away, right?" ”

When Shao Yi heard this, he sighed again in his heart.

What's going on? Twists and turns, isn't it a good clairvoyant? If you can only see one hundred and eighty steps, then this thing is not very useful.

Xia Yan handed the telescope out again.

Forget it, facts speak louder than words. Let him try this thing first, as long as he understands the principle, when he will supervise the production of telescopes in the future, adjust the magnification of the eyepiece and the objective lens, which will naturally increase the telescope effect.

If the quality of the glass used in the supervision is passed, some ingenious R&D personnel may be able to make a high-powered telescope with a Kepler structure.

At that time, let alone thousands of miles away, even looking at the moon will be no problem.

Thinking of the moon reminded Xia Yanqing that the earth and the moon are round.

If the ancient craftsmen had developed a high-powered telescope, really saw the pit moon, and found that there was no Guanghan Palace and osmanthus trees on it, and there were no Chang'e and Wu Gang, would it be because they subverted the old legends, which would lead to the collapse of concepts?

Or did they Orientals discover earlier that the earth and the moon were actually spheres?

She was thinking nonsense here, Shao Yi had already picked up the monoculars, fiddled with it a little, and knew how to look.

"This ...... Isn't that so? Shao Yi opened one eye and closed one eye, trying to see the things on the other side through the glass piece and through the cylinder.

Why, my vision is blurry, and I can't see anything.

Shao Yi's forehead was really sweating.

Xia Yanqing retracted his thoughts and looked at the telescope that Shao Yi was working......

…… Well, it's negligent, like people say: it's not the right way to open.

She didn't make it clear, but at this time, Shao Yi was looking out with great effort at the side of the concave mirror.

And she forgot to tell him that she needed to rotate the cylinder to adjust the focus. When you hold it like this, it will naturally be blurry to your eyes.

"Shao Gongzi, you take it down first, take it down first, and I'll tell you how to use it." This is ancient times, and it is difficult to get started with the summer banquet.

"Really?" Shao Yi hurriedly removed the telescope from his eyes, and some hope ignited in his heart, "It turns out that I didn't use it correctly, is this a mechanism?" ”

He said, how can a divine object like clairvoyance be used so casually, it turns out that there is still a mechanism.

What the hell is it......

Xia Yanqing was almost speechless.

She took the telescope, dropped it, and said, "The lenses on these two sides are different, and the diameters at the ends of the cylinder are also different." If you want to see far, you have to look through the small end of the diameter, and in addition,"

Xia Yanqing raised the telescope with both hands and demonstrated to Shao Yi, "The cylinder of clairvoyance can adjust the distance, you have to slowly rotate the cylinder according to the distance you observe, adjust the most suitable distance, and the things in the distance will be the clearest." Shao Gongzi did as I said, and then tried again. ”

Shao Yi took the telescope, he also saw that this cylinder was not a whole just now, but he didn't know that he could still rotate to adjust the length of the clairvoyance.
