030 Technological innovation
In the Moonlight Palace, in a green meadow, Randall was practicing walking, and during the day, the light was very strong, and he could feel a little bright, not completely invisible.
Time is the best tool to adapt, ten days passed, Randall began to get used to the blind life, he did not like to be served by others, did not like crutches, did not like to admonish, he forced himself to practice getting in and out of bed every day, walking, eating, ten days down, the movements are much more proficient than before.
Today, Randall set himself the goal of walking 500 steps without falling, and he wanted to practice that in the Moonlight Palace, he could walk alone by feeling without relying on human help and not falling. At first, as soon as the servant let go, after walking a few steps faster, his body shook and he fell many times.
The bruises made him progress, and he was not afraid of falling, and he slowly grasped the trick.
"Four hundred seventy-two, seventy-three, seventy-eight...... Five hundred!"
After completing today's 500-step goal, Randall said, "I feel like my face is covered by the branches and leaves of the trees, am I going off the rails of that yellow tree?"
"Yes, young master, you are walking faster than yesterday, and the hourglass is only half off," said the servant, who came to him and led him.
It took Randall almost an hour, by feeling, without the help of any external objects, to reach a distance that the servant easily completed, and Randall sighed, "It is so beautiful to be able to see things." ”
After practicing, he went to a garden to rest, and called for officials to listen to a short government report, which was from the Commerce Bureau today.
"I've been away for a while, I mentioned you how your distillation technology is doing, and how did you get the membrane type?"
"It's almost, there is still room for improvement in sealing, but the young master has made a decisive breakthrough in the perfume process we developed, and we put musk, lemon, rose, orange ...... Wait for the aromas of sixteen plants to mix to make a non-pungent perfume, the taste is lighter than before, would you like to try it?" The officer prepares to take out the test item on his body.
"No need, it's good to be successful, some time ago, I asked you to improve the soap developed by you, how about it? Since our products appeared and sold to the Baiting Empire, there have been imitations, and I recently heard from the Intelligence Bureau that after our cargo ship arrived in Baiting, we also saw similar soaps.
With the energy of Bytin, this kind of thing is difficult to hide, I want you to make it better, so that everyone can treat it as a necessity, and even only recognize the lion-shaped soap from our territory, not only that, I want our goods to appear on all continents. ”
"Yes. ”
"By the way, is there any alkali formula that I said?"
"We've tried several of them, but they're still poor, and they haven't achieved the results you described, and we've been discussing them with the alchemists of the Industrial Bureau, and it's probably going to take about a month. ”
"If it is done, take out 20% of the profits from future sales in the first three years, no, 20% and a half, and give it to all the alchemists and craftsmen who participated in the research and development. ”
When he came to this world, Randall knew a lot of things, and he didn't know why, just like when he bathed, he disliked the lack of cleaning power of artificial soap here, and it was sticky, and the price was high, so he wanted to invent better and cheaper soap, but he only remembered a little bit of the composition of the soap made in later generations, and he couldn't create it himself, so he could only describe it in an oral way at will, and let his subordinates figure it out.
When he was young, his mind was full of bringing the convenient things of his previous life into this world, but after practice, he found that if he was born into a small nobleman or a businessman, or even a commoner family, he would not be able to make two or three inventions in his life.
The most unsuccessful time, after discussing with a few big-hearted alchemists and craftsmen, he wanted to get a rickshaw (bicycle) for transportation, but after investing 2,000 gold coins, not to mention the body structure, he couldn't even get an inch of tire wagons.
The four counties of Grad are flat and close to the sea, not only can they be self-sufficient in food, but they can also sell to other regions, and the business is prosperous, and the foundation is very thick, so Bony is only distressed for a day, so he persuaded Randall to let him continue to develop the so-called technological innovation, but he must first take his own money.
Randall's grandfather, Berbadona, before Randall was born, divided a fief for the next heir, plus the inheritance left by his mother, Randall took the whole canon and staked it to Bonnie, and devoted himself to another study.
Last time, Randall understood that what was readily available in his previous life was not so simple, and all kinds of skills needed to be accumulated before they could blossom and bear fruit.
He followed the alchemists and craftsmen, tinkered day and night in the laboratory, studied from scratch for a while, cut off more than ninety percent of his illusions, and no longer looked condescendingly and despised this backward era.
The borrowed funds were found so that he could come to many craftsmen and tell them all about the finished industrial products he had experienced in his previous life, so that these craftsmen could use their imagination to create similar convenient things without fear of food and clothing
In this era, if you can meet the physiological needs of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, you can be called the middle class, and Randall adds another one, "sexual needs", and under so many benefits, the craftsmen are enthusiastic, and they also take two shifts, and the technical spinning of the city of Peon runs day and night.
One of the most important inventions was that after Randall's proposal, the craftsmen came up with a draft drawing. After reading it, he persuaded Boni to embezzle part of the war funds and vigorously support it. This thing is the crystallization of the wisdom of craftsmen, which took four months to succeed, and it is a thing of "blower equipment".
It started with a conversation Randall had with his men three years ago.
"The speed of our development, I think it's still too slow, can it be faster, like a water wheel, you can only use it to grind grain? I've watched TV... As mentioned in the book, there is a steam engine driving method, which is a kind of horizontal wheel type, which can be used in iron cutting and other agricultural work, which may be of great help to the progress of the process. ”
"Steam?"
"Yes! steam, steam engine!" Randall could barely describe the appearance of the steam engine in his memory, but the craftsmen were in a fog.
"The British Empire... I dreamed that Lucifer, the angel of heaven, was promoted to the eight-winged angel by the god of light by this thing, anyway, it is a cross-era invention, and there is a loom, a machine, and the daily work is faster than twenty women weaving day and night, and you must also think of a way to ....... ”
"The Industrial Revolution, the British Empire, the Loom?" The craftsmen looked at each other.
"What can breathe smoke, do you mean the air spinning ball mentioned in the Ten Books of Architecture?" Craftsman supervisor Kuhn Dao.
"What kind of book is that?"
Randall found out that more than 600 years ago in this world, a scientist in Constantinople, Hero, had developed a way to use hot vapor to rotate spheres, but before he could use it more, he died.
"It's been there so early! How many craftsmen or alchemists continue to study it?" Randall said expectantly.
"Nope. Kuhn shook his head.
"Then you go ahead and get whatever you can. ”
This conversation inspired his subordinates to improve the speed of the waterwheel equipment in the territory, and also made a water drain to turn the metallurgical equipment with hydraulic power.
Under the metallurgical wrought iron, the furnace must maintain a fixed high temperature, stable air, in order to maintain high temperature, the craftsmen set it next to the river rapids, uninterrupted water flow equipment horizontally, and set up a rotating shaft, pull rod, all connected together, greatly saving the manpower to be consumed in metallurgy.
On the day of success, Randall saw the successful operation of the equipment, excited for a few days and sleepless, he had a feeling of creating history, this success, finally let Boni no longer care about process innovation, as long as it is not too exaggerated amount, treasury gold coins, let him have full discretion!
The territory became more and more prosperous, and the officials said that it was Randall's credit, that he had divine favors, so that he could see the heavenly things in his dreams. admired him more and more, and in the end, it reached the point of extreme sycophancy.
But Randall knew that he was just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.
......
"You have worked hard, the craftsmen of the Commercial Bureau have also worked hard, I am waiting for good news, maybe when you are successful, I will be happy, and my eyes will be able to see again. After talking to the officials and knowing that the fiscal surplus for the quarter had increased by 10%, Randall smiled.
By noon, Randall moved to another garden to bask in the sun. In front of him is a cross-shaped artificial lake, covering an area of 30,000 square meters, and there are several small boats on it, which can simulate a game of small naval battles, or admire the moon in the lake.
