028: Are you going to do business with the imperial court? (2nd Update)
The next day, Chang Xi did not go back to work in the tea brick workshop, but waited for Xie Yuxin's arrival in the courtyard, but fortunately, he didn't wait long, and Xie Yuxin's carriage arrived at the courtyard.
As soon as Zhiying helped her girl get out of the carriage, she saw Chang Niangzi waiting here, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then her own girl smiled and went over to greet Chang Niangzi affectionately.
"Sister Chang has been waiting for a long time, isn't it my sister's." Xie Yuxin took Chang Xi's hand and said apologetically.
In fact, she received the news from Chang Xi yesterday, and she wanted to rush over, but her mother didn't allow her to travel on the grounds that it was getting dark, and her father didn't support it, so she delayed it until today.
Zhiying hurriedly said, "Our girl got up early today, and even breakfast was used in the carriage......
Xie Yuxin has always been very tolerant of the maids around her, but Zhiying was not happy about this, so she called softly, "Zhiying, you go and pack your luggage first."
Zhiying knew that she had lost her words, which made the girl unhappy, so she found an excuse to send herself.
Chang Xi just watched coldly, and didn't make a sound, and after Zhiying retreated, she heard Xie Yuxin's apology, and then she smiled and pulled Xie Yuxin towards Lin Yuqi's laboratory, "It's just a subordinate, can I still deal with you?" Besides, she wasn't wrong, you got up early in the morning today, otherwise you wouldn't have arrived at the other courtyard with this point."
Xie Yuxin saw that Chang Xi was not angry, so he was a little relieved, "Sister Chang won't worry about me, I'm relieved."
Chang Xi spread his hands and said, "If I care about everything, will I still be alive?"
These words made me laugh and understand my heart, and the atmosphere between the two was suddenly very good, so I left the little episode just now.
After the sister-in-law saw the ceremony, she saw that the sister-in-law was not as cold as before, so she felt a little comfortable, and now she really realized that it is good not to be a matchmaker for three generations.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and turned back early.
Xie Yuxin is not the kind of person with a small belly, seeing his eighth sister-in-law accompanying him carefully, he also found something to tell her, after all, those things are in the past, and there is no need to worry about it.
When they arrived at Lin Yuqi's laboratory, Xie Jin and Xie Ming were also there, obviously they were also very interested in this experiment, so even Xie Ming was lazy today and didn't go to the tea brick workshop for a long time.
"Why are you still here? Didn't go in?" Pak was puzzled.
Xie Ming smiled bitterly and pointed to the door that was still closed, and said in a low voice, "Lin San's subordinates came over and said that their third master wouldn't let us in, except for the very lady and my sister, otherwise no one would be seen today."
I didn't see that even Lao Jiu, the owner of the other courtyard, was turned away, which is a rare thing.
Bai Shi actually doesn't like to come here to deal with Lin Yuqi, this is a weirdo, but today Chang Xi and Xie Yuxin want to see the results of the experiment, so she came over to join in the fun.
As soon as Xie Yuxin came, he went over and knocked on the door, but Chang Xi walked to Xie Jin's side and looked at him with a smile, "How do you feel about being turned away from the door?"
Xie Jin looked like she was about to see a joke, so he said helplessly: "Even if a person with ability has a strange temper, I will not bother with him."
didn't see it as his joke, Chang Xi's regret on the surface, but in fact, he had a deeper understanding of a person like him who was cold and self-denying.
Lin Yuqi heard the voice of Xie Yuxin, and personally opened the door to isolate the outside world, but he could only see the person he wanted to see in his eyes, and he automatically ignored the others, so in addition to understanding Yuxin, he only greeted Chang Xi alone.
"Chang Niangzi, come and see, the steam power I made." He beckoned to Chang Xi very happily.
Chang Xi immediately left Xie Jin and rushed over, and followed Lin Yuqi to the laboratory with Xie Yuxin.
Xie Jin could only shake his head and follow the back inside, and finally there were Xie Ming and Bai's husband and wife, anyway, they were the bottom of the existence.
This laboratory has been renovated, and when Xie Jin heard that Lin Yuqi was doing experiments in the other courtyard, he directly ordered a few rooms to be put inside
The walls were torn down, so the lab was quite spacious.
Lin Yuqi's assistants were busy saluting these people, and then lowered their hands to the side and waited for orders.
Chang Xi was stunned at first when she saw the simple but advanced machine in this era in front of her, and then immediately understood that the principles of science are the same, so even this machine is quite similar to the machine she had seen in the history textbooks of her previous life.
Lin Yuqi excitedly explained to Xie Yuxin and Chang Xi, "You see that there is no here, this is for adding firewood, and here is filled with water, and when the water boils, that steam will be generated, you see, the gas will rise to this level, and then push the valve down through the pipe here, and then the machine wheel on this side can rotate, and finally the vapor will go out here to push the valve back to its original position, so that the cycle will start again, and the wheel will rotate without stopping......
He was talking and gesturing.
It's a pity that except for Chang Xi and Xie Yuxin, who can understand the working principle here, everyone else looks like they are in a fog, and even Xie Jin, who has dabbled in a lot of miscellaneous books, was confused for the first time in his life, and his brows were even more furrowed, obviously not understanding what Lin Yuqi said.
Xie Ming tried hard to understand, but the more he listened, the more his eyes looked like mosquito coils.
Bai Shi gave up directly, such a profound principle is not something that a woman like her can understand, so she traveled the whole way.
Xie Yuxin excitedly participated in the discussion, and finally asked Lin Yuqi to try it out.
Lin Yuqi has never refused the request of his little friend, he raised his hand and motioned to the little guy on the side to add firewood to the pre-set stove, and after a while, the firewood burned and the temperature of the house began to rise.
After a while, the wheels on the machine began to rotate, and they worked non-stop, and at this moment, except for Chang Xi, everyone was stunned, and even Bai Shi, who was wandering in the sky, couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my God, this wheel really keeps spinning, is there really no one shaking in it?"
"It's the steam that pushes the valve and the power that keeps the wheels turning." Chang Xi explained to Bai.
"Oooh oh." Bai still didn't understand, but she resolutely didn't ask, she really didn't want to embarrass herself.
Xie Jin on the side was amazed, and after listening to Chang Xi's explanation, he gradually understood the working principle of this steam, and then he suddenly understood why Chang Xi said last time that this was an epoch-making significance, and if this technology was applied to all walks of life, what a terrifying productivity it would be.
"You told me last time that someone on the foreign devil's side has already researched this and made a machine that can assist in coal mine excavation and discharge toxic gas, so that coal mine excavation will be much safer." He suddenly looked at Chang Xi Dao.
Chang Xi didn't expect Xie Jin to remember this paragraph, so he nodded, "There is such a thing," and then quickly captured Xie Jin's intentions, "You mean to give priority to designing such a machine?"
"Yes." Xie Jin didn't sell Guan Zi and said directly, "If there is really such a machine that can reduce casualties, it will be a great merit, and this kind of steam power has to use firewood as an energy source, then a better coal mine is more suitable, so that the production capacity of the coal mine has increased, and in turn it can promote the development of steam power, and the two are complementary to each other."
Chang Xi really wanted to give Xie Jin a thumbs up at this moment, I have to say that the elite is the elite, he is not like he is a latecomer with a prophetic function, but he can make accurate judgments only by his own judgment, which is really rare.
"You're right, it's true that coal mines are better suited as a steam-powered energy source."
After Lin Yuqi heard Chang Xi's words, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's right, why did I ignore the coal mine? Go and bring baskets of coal."
The assistant on the side immediately responded and hurriedly did as instructed.
Xie Jin was quite happy that Chang Xi recognized his views, but before he could say anything more, he heard Chang Xi's eyes glow and look at him and say, "Xie Jiuye, after the machine is developed and mass-produced, will our research institute do this business with the imperial court first?"
Resources such as coal mines have always been controlled by the imperial court, and private businesses are not allowed to mine.
So this business can only be done with the imperial court.
If it weren't for a group of outsiders, Xie Jin really wanted to pick up Chang Xi and lift her high, she was really a roundworm in her stomach, "That's right, if you can develop it successfully, I will connect you with the imperial court."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little shocked, didn't they come to see the results of the experiment? How did it develop into a business with the imperial court?
Besides, if you want to get the wool of the court, hehe, it's good that the court doesn't swallow all this.
"It's too dangerous." Xie Ming licked his lips and said.
Chang Xi squinted his eyes slightly and said, "I don't think it's impossible to seek wealth and danger."
Except for Xie Yuxin and Lin Yuqi, who understood Jin and stayed out of the matter, everyone else thought that Chang Niangzi was crazy, how could they hit the idea on the head of the court?
Don't you die fast enough?
Everyone couldn't understand it, and Chang Xi didn't need them to understand, she understood that Xie Jin's proposal must have his reasons, and he had the connections and energy to achieve this, so why didn't she take advantage of the situation?
Besides, it is normal for business to come with risks, and this is the test of the ability to resist pressure.
She had already experienced this in her previous life.
"Do you have any objections?"
Everyone looked at each other, Xie Jin smiled and didn't say anything.
"Since there are no objections, then the first project to be tackled by our institute is hereby decided." Chang Xi directly and happily made a conclusion.
But before that, there was still a problem that had to be negotiated first, so as soon as she got out of the laboratory, she asked people to go to Lin's house and ask Mr. Lin to come over.
