Chapter 48: I want to vomit when I see a clock
They returned to their temporary accommodation with five clocks, and as soon as they arrived, the two of them were happy.
This time I made a lot of money, and it was all big fat sheep.
The sketch of the fortress has been obtained, the giant ship of the Western Ocean House has been obtained, and the clock technology has been learned~
I'll get them some weapons and books later......
"If you do the last round, the other party will be suspicious, the emperor's self-striking bell, can you handle it?"
"No problem! I can disassemble it now with my eyes closed, no matter how big or small it is, the principle and structure are almost the same~"
Li Tiezhu is ingenious, he just watched the dismantling twice, and he also disassembled two wheels by himself, and now he is very confident, so he is waiting for the completion of the dinner to eat and drink.
"Okay, then I'll write first, you let those craftsmen disassemble and assemble other clocks, and the emperor will repair it now."
"Okay~"
This time it was written on 5 pieces of paper, and it happened that the craftsmen invited by Wei Zhongxian were not fast, so they gave Wang Hongyu time to write one by one.
This time, he planned to give the missionaries some information so that they would remember him when things happened in the future, so that they could help them cooperate further.
"The Dutch people have spoken a lot about Ho Kiang O and Malacca, consciously or unconsciously, and it seems that there is a plan to attack...... He thinks very highly of Batavia, claiming that there are countless warships and tens of thousands of soldiers......
…… At present, if we cooperate with you, it is not appropriate to make it public, otherwise it would mean a blatant break with the Dutch. I haven't seen the actual trade and technology comparison now, so it's up to you to follow up for the time being. ”
In general, he did not make too high a request, and reminded him relatively kindly: the Dutch wanted to attack Macau and Malacca.
In this way, it will avoid playing too big, and will directly push the missionaries into a rampage and confront the hostile Dutch people face to face.
And this slightly kind, but unclear attitude of taking sides, will only allow the duckweed-like to reverse their previous attitude and bring more practical benefits.
This time, with the momentum of Wanli, Wei Zhongxian cooperated; Taking advantage of Wei Zhongxian's momentum, he used all kinds of clocks and watches as a practice for repair; Taking advantage of the "Dutch people", Italy and Iberia had to be friendly.
After writing the letter, seeing that it was almost evening, he was about to beckon Li Tiezhu to go back together and finish the play.
"No...... This won't work either......"
Li Tiezhu was sweating profusely, completely devoting himself to the loading and unloading of the self-striking bell, and completely entered a state of selflessness.
"It's quite serious~ But the movement seems to be a little slower." Wang Hongyu thought so, so he stood next to him and observed.
I saw Li Tiezhu dismantle and dismantle, put together and put together the most delicate and small self-striking bell in Wanli, disassembled and assembled several times, and seemed to be more and more proficient, but in fact fell into a predicament.
"This ...... Shouldn't everything else be fine, just Wanli? ”
Squeak squeak...... Li Tiezhu was completely engaged and did not answer.
"Hmph...... Would you rather eat donkey meat tonight or bake bread with elbows? ”
"Of course! Only children make a choice~" Li Tiezhu replied at the speed of light.
Sure enough, it was a change of tricks, and it worked immediately.
"How's your practice? It seems that the emperor's chiming bell is a bit special? ”
"Hey, it's nothing~ It's just that there's a clockwork rotten inside, and this clock won't leave......" Li Tiezhuyun said lightly.
Oh......
???
!!!
What's this called?
The table doesn't go away!
With such a big move today, with the cooperation of Jinyiwei throughout the whole process, Emperor Wanli must know everything, and in the end, you give him a bell that he can't leave......
"It's not a big deal, this baby is called a chiming bell, I've made it chime again, who sees if it can't go?"
Li Tiezhu was full of words, grunted with his stomach, raised his head and asked, "Where is my donkey meat and baked cakes?"
"This ...... This is up to you to ask the Jinyi Guard yourself to see if it is provided in the edict. ”
"Edict? That place is famous, go there to repair things, and come out to add luster to our resume~"
Li Tiezhu felt that business was coming again, but he was not afraid that there would be no place to live.
Wang Hongyu covered his face and sighed, almost unable to cry or laugh.
Seeing that Li Tiezhu's hands kept moving, he suddenly thought of an idea: "Wouldn't it be enough to remove the gears from other clocks and put them in Wanli?"
"I've tried them all, and they're all too big!"
Li Tiezhu couldn't pretend this time, so he spread his hands and said that in addition to giving Wanli a watch that he couldn't go, what else could he do?
The time has come when lives are at stake.
The operation is as fierce as a tiger, and the results are ...... The bell still can't go.
The cold sweat was left, and Wang Hongyu gritted his teeth to see what the damaged gear looked like.
I saw that the broken gears and clockwork were very small, and they were indeed much smaller than other clocks. It turns out that this small self-striking clock of Wanli can't help but look less than the size of the palm of your hand, and it is more delicate than other clocks, and even the parts are made by the best craftsmen in Spain, and it is by no means a replacement for one or two from other watches.
It seems that the only way to recast the damaged parts is to create a ......
It's going to take a few days, so there's probably no other way, right?
Packing up the clocks and preparing to send them back to the missionaries, I suddenly noticed the small pocket watches.
Pocket watch...... It's only been around for 100 years, and it's worth a lot of money now......
"I haven't dismantled this thing yet, can you give me practice before you go back?" Li Tiezhu's fat head came over, and his hand had already stretched out first.
"Hey, hey, hey~"
Wang Hongyu suddenly thought that the parts in the pocket watch were very delicate, why don't you take it apart and take a look? Maybe there's a good fit.
"You're going to tear it down!"
Wang Hongyu suddenly became excited, and gave all the pocket watches to Li Tiezhu with a roar.
Which time was it not a risk? In such a short period of time, we want to turn the tide and let Huaxia seize the opportunity of world changes...... This little risk is nothing.
"I'm dizzy ~ I want to vomit when I see the clock"
The pocket watch in front of him seemed to have infinite afterimages, and his mind was full of clocks and watches walking away.
"Want to throw up? Then you will spit out in the pocket watch, and there will be back and forth to send a gift to the missionary~"
Then come on~
It takes time to disassemble the pocket watch, so it doesn't matter if you learn to restore it while dismantling it, and keep the steps clear.
The light was not bright enough, so the lights were lit, and 4 lamps were lit in the room, and he was specially asked to carefully disassemble and select the parts.
The pocket watch parts were disassembled one by one, and a picture was drawn for each step to restore the scene.
"If you can't find the right part, you can cast it again; Repairing the chiming clock is secondary, and it is more meaningful to fully grasp the structure and technology of pocket watches, clocks, and chiming clocks! ”
Wang Hongyu was afraid that he would be hungry, so he hurried to draw a cake.
The pocket watch given by the Pope of Long Huamin and the chiming clock given to Wanli were made by a group of people, and the size of the parts was also very close.
Shattered~
