Chapter 56: The Smell of Similarity (Thanks to the Five Sons Silver Alliance)
"Brother Wang, come into my studio and take a look?"
"Let's go!"
When the black smoke in the house dissipated, Wang Quanquan followed Liu Luming to his workshop, the house was not neat, all kinds of things were placed everywhere, Wang Quanquan looked at it casually, the items were very complex, there were iron, wood, and ceramics, all kinds of things.
He was amazed by the fact that there were many simple and practical tools in these objects, and the shape was very close to that of modern tools. For example, a vice is fixed to a table, and although the shape is slightly different from that of a thousand years later, the function is the same.
"Brother Lu Ming, you made all these things?"
"Well, I made it."
"Amazing!"
Wang Quan sincerely admires that it is a remarkable thing that an ancient person can produce so many practical tools under limited conditions.
"Brother Wang, come here, show you something good!"
Liu Luming greeted from the side, only to see that he was holding a slender bamboo tube in his hand.
"Brother Wang, you try to watch the scenery outside through the bamboo tube."
Wang Quanquan took the bamboo tube, the bamboo tube is composed of two sections of bamboo together, which can be used telescopicly, easy to carry, and the two ends of the bamboo tube are inlaid with a transparent crystal.
He looked out of the house through the bamboo tube, and the scenery in the distance seemed to be close at hand, but the texture of the crystal was not very good, and the things he saw were a little blurry.
"Haha, interesting, Brother Lu Ming, I admire you more and more, and you actually built a telescope."
"Telescopes?" Liu Luming first looked suspicious, and then slapped his thigh, "Wonderful, Brother Wang, I haven't known what to name this thing, the telescope you just said is very appropriate as its name, easy to understand, okay, I will call it a telescope in the future!" ”
"It's just Brother Lu Ming, there's a problem with this telescope."
"What's the problem?"
"I can't see clearly."
"This ......" Liu Luming looked embarrassed when he said this, "Brother Wang, don't hide it, this is already the best material I can find, I do know that there is a kind of glaze that is very suitable, but the price is really expensive, and this kind of glaze can only be produced by the glaze factory of the imperial court, so I really can't get it." ”
"What if I could get it?"
"Brother Wang, is this true? Could it be that Brother Wang has any acquaintances over there in the Liuli Factory? Hearing Wang Quanquan's words, Liu Luming's eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at him with hope.
Wang Quanquan showed a strange look on his face when he heard this, "Familiar, too familiar!" "Can you not be familiar, the glaze factory was established by him, and now he still leads the glaze factory every month.
His admiration for Liu Luming at this time has also reached a very high level, looking at the entire dynasty, Wang Quanquan dared to say that only the glass produced by the glaze factory is the most suitable for making telescopes, and it seems that the other party's research on materials has also reached a certain height.
"That's really good, so Brother Lao, but in terms of silver, I really can't take out too much." Liu Luming's face was a little embarrassed, although Liu Ge Lao said that he was a product of the dynasty, but he only paid a few hundred taels of silver a year, and this person was a little pedantic and unwilling to accept bribes, so Liu Luming's pocket money was naturally not as rich as other second-generation officials.
"Brother Lu Ming is outside, if you don't have any money, I'll give it to you."
"I'm so embarrassed to give it." Liu Luming inherited his father's old-fashionedness.
"That's it, I'll find a way to get Liuli, how about you give me a telescope when you go back?"
"Naturally!"
The two happily reached an agreement, and after this incident, Wang Quanquan and Liu Luming, two people who couldn't beat each other, became friends inexplicably.
Later, Wang Quanquan went to Liu's mansion every other day, and every time he went, he took advantage of Liu Ge's old absence, and the two of them always went into the studio cleanly for an afternoon, and then came out in disgrace. In addition to the jingling sound in the studio, there was also a "hey, hey, hey" laughter from time to time, and people who didn't know thought that the two were doing something shady inside.
On this day, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Liu Ge naturally participated in the enthronement ceremony, and Wang Quanquan went to Liu's mansion again.
"Brother Wang, what are you going to teach me today?"
"Let's learn friction today."
I saw that a table had been vacated in the studio, and Liu Luming was sitting behind the desk listening attentively. There is a blackboard hanging on one wall, Wang Quanquan stands next to the blackboard, using plaster as a pen, writing formulas on the blackboard, and Liu Luming listens carefully like a child, raising his hand to ask questions when he encounters something he doesn't understand.
"Brother Wang, it's really wonderful that you taught me these things, and I've never heard of them before."
"These things I teach you are collectively called physics."
"Physics?"
"Physics, the principle of things, everything in this world, their movement is regular, as long as we learn physics, the law for my use, we can create many interesting things!"
"Brother Wang is really erudite, and if he is taught, he would have known that he was not so playful when he was a child, and it would be good to learn more knowledge."
Wang Quanquan couldn't laugh or cry, until now Liu Luming thought that this knowledge was in books, but he didn't know that these seemingly simple theoretical knowledge were the essence of people through practice for thousands of years, and they were not at all what could be learned in this era.
"Okay, I have something to do today, so I won't accompany you to do after-class experiments, today's classwork is to make a device that can detect friction, and I will check it in class tomorrow."
"Okay, Brother Wang, go slowly." Although he called himself a brother, Liu Luming still made a student salute to Wang Quanquan in a proper manner.
Wang Quanquan left Liu's mansion, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, but it was a pity that this Young Master Liu did not live in modern times, otherwise he would definitely be a genius in physics. Although Liu Luming's literary understanding is indeed flattering, he is indeed a rare genius in physics. Wang Quanquan only needs to say a theory, he can understand it instantly, not only can he draw inferences, but also can make instruments that conform to this theory, and Wang Quanquan has taught him a lot of knowledge in the past month.
Although he only taught for a month, it was enough to complete the plan in the heart of the king.
Back in the palace, the king drafted a document, which was really not in line with his habits. Usually, if you have any needs, you can just kick the door of the emperor's imperial study. But this time is different from the past, after today, the emperor has become a king, and every word and deed of the king's authority in the future must conform to the etiquette norms.
Wang Quanquan hollowed out the ink in his stomach, pieced together a piece of music, and planned to go to Wang Zhangxian early tomorrow morning, he is still confident in this matter, if the other party does not agree, he still has a jade pendant on his body, this jade pendant is a favor that Wang Zhixian owed him back then, and now the other party is the Ninety-Five, and he will definitely not break his promise for this little thing.
Wang Quanquan checked the music again and again, and after confirming that it was correct, he put it away, and waited for tomorrow to come.
