Chapter Forty-Nine: The Light of Fireflies and the Bright Moon Compete for Glory
Zhu Youxiao looked at kneeling on the ground! Two scientists with adoring glances in their eyes!
There was an inexplicable feeling of refreshment in my heart, and after being proud, I felt a little guilty, this is obviously Huang Xiao's invention, this ...... I'm ashamed!
But if he wants to say that it is not his own invention and that he is a monarch, this is not an open mouth.
"Two Aiqing, please get up! This steam engine has also made a little effort, you will know in the future! ”
Zhu Youxiao still left a word, after all, he is still young, and the kung fu on his face has not yet been cultivated at home!
The two of them thanked each other and stood up.
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The mechanism of this steam engine can be completed in these two days!" When the time comes, the two of you will go with me to witness it! ”
Wang Zheng was taken aback again, you must know that from the design drawings to the finished product, it is not an easy task!
"Prototypes have been made! Your Majesty is really a man of God! Lao Chen's return to Beijing this time is really a timely meeting! ”
Song Yingxing also said: "The students looked at the exquisiteness of this steam mechanism, and thought that it would take a long time to try it out!" I didn't expect Your Majesty to dare to be the first! Prototypes are out! Students really want to see it one day sooner! ”
Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "The two Aiqing can't boast anymore, let's talk about this steam engine, Song Qing, you see, how can the steel used in this fire room, boiler, and track be built and used at the least cost!" I don't know what you think? ”
"Wang Qing, you can also take a look at the process of connecting rods, pistons, and gears."
Both of them were in their hearts, knowing that this was the emperor testing themselves, they cheered up and stepped forward to observe carefully.
After a long time, the two looked at each other, both sweating profusely.
Wang Zheng's face was full of shame, and he sighed: "The old minister claims to be familiar with the way of machinery, and he is also familiar with Western knowledge. The old minister knows some of these truths, but he doesn't know everything, this connecting rod, gear, the old minister can still have a way, but this sealing aspect is ...... Chen really didn't expect what material to use! The old minister is really ashamed! ”
Song Yingxing's eyebrows were about to be twisted into eight figures, and he sighed and said, "Your Majesty reminded you!" This steel must be rust-resistant, durable, and inexpensive! This one...... The students have no good plan for a while, please forgive your majesty,"
Both of them were devastated, and they were ashamed, so they almost hid their faces and left.
Zhu Youxiao knew that the two of them still had real talents and real learning, at least Huang Xiao respected them very much, and the two of them also had a unique vision and could see the problem.
"Don't be discouraged by the two Aiqing, I already have a solution here, Wang Qing, about the sealing material, look at this!"
"Song Qing, look at this about steel!"
Hearing the emperor say that there was already a solution, both of them were taken aback and raised their heads!
But I saw that the emperor took two stacks of white paper from the case and handed them over separately.
The two couldn't wait to take it.
Wang Zheng saw the title at a glance.
Eucommia ulmoides gum extraction process!
Song Yingxing's is the blast furnace alloy steel drawing process.
The two of them watched like crazy, like drinking wine!
"Ahh The old minister knows about this eucommia tree! There are also a lot of them in Shandong! It turns out that it can not only be used for medicine, but also for such wonderful purposes! What a treasure tree! With this information, the old minister dared to make a military order! Wang Zheng shook his head and was full of praise.
Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile and turned to look at Song Yingxing.
Song Yingxing studied it repeatedly, and he was stupid for a while, and he didn't even notice the time.
Wang Zheng had to cough to remind.
Song Yingxing woke up and said: "Students have been studying alloys all along, and today I know that students are like frogs at the bottom of a well, and His Majesty's talent is really impressive!" Students self-recommend this method for me to cast steel! ”
Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "The two Aiqing have the courage to take responsibility!" I'm so pleased! ”
Song Yingxing pointed to the symbol on the blast furnace drawing and asked, "Your Majesty, is this the height?" ”
Zhu Youxiao looked at it and said, "This is Taixi character 5, and the m behind it is read as Mo Yimi, rice!" It means five meters. ”
"Oh, Mo Yimi, Mi! The minister has been taught! ”
Zhu Youxiao is now learning and using, and after Huang Xiao finished teaching the pinyin alphabet last night, he talked about some pinyin methods, especially the drawings.
Huang Xiao's bad taste has changed many symbols, such as kilometers = qm, centimeters = lm, degrees = d, air pressure = qy, etc., maybe the world will have to use weights and measures with Ming characteristics in the future!
Zhu Youxiao nodded, hesitated, and then pulled out a sketch from the case.
Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng were both taken aback, and His Majesty came out again!
This is the sketch of the pressure valve designed by Zhu Youxiao himself last night overnight, his inspiration was taken from Huang Xiao's thermometer, but he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, Huang Xiao's drawings made the two of them shocked, if their own design is worthless, then ......
After thinking about it, he took it out anyway.
"This Aiqing, this is an immature design of the pressure valve, let's take a closer look."
Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng reluctantly put down the information in their hands and came over to check together.
Zhu Youxiao was on the side, fidgeting, his eyes rolling around on the faces of the two.
"Huh? That's a great idea! The word thermal expansion and cold contraction is well mentioned! Wang Zheng praised.
Song Yingxing said: "Although His Majesty's design is not very perfect, the students think that on this basis, they will definitely be able to make a suitable pressure valve!" His Majesty's ideas are wild, and students admire them! ”
received the nods and praise of the two scholars, and Zhu Youxiao's heart blossomed!
This sense of accomplishment is even more intense than just now!
He laughed out loud!
"Good! This is also perfected and studied by the two Aiqing! I want to set up a special department to study these things, which I directly support with internal funds, and I personally manage them, and the two Aiqing take on this burden for me! After I make a decision, I will appoint two Aiqing! ”
"The ministers (students) will live up to His Majesty's trust and forge tools for the country!" The two knelt down in thanksgiving.
Zhu Youxiao said: "These drawings are studied by the two Aiqing first, you will live in Xiyuan, and when everything is ready, I and Aiqing will build it together!" ”
After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he asked the little eunuch to lead the two of them.
"In the past, I always heard Shilin talk about His Majesty, saying that His Majesty doesn't learn and has no skills, and loves wood art and ignores the government, but now it seems that this is all nonsense!" After Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng settled down, they couldn't help but sigh while studying the information together.
Wang Zheng arched his hand towards the east and said, "Your Majesty really surprised me today, and the old man also misunderstood His Majesty before!" I really don't know Mount Tai! Your Majesty, this steam engine is used in agriculture, water conservancy, military, people's livelihood, etc., which can benefit all generations! How fortunate the heavens are, how fortunate the people are! The Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, which is really a blessing of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Song Yingxing nodded and said, "Your Majesty's steelmaking method is also the most advanced skill in the world!" Students can conclude that the price of steel will gradually decline, and my weapons, farm tools, etc. will benefit a lot! ”
After he finished speaking, he stood up again and said loudly: "The student swears here, if I hear anyone slandering Your Majesty in the future, I, Song Yingxing, will definitely fight with this person!" ”
Wang Zheng also stood up and said, "Okay! The old man also talked about juvenile madness! No one will be allowed to disrespect Your Majesty! We also want to correct Your Majesty's name! ”
Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng both looked firm, and at this moment they were like soldiers in a trench, with high morale!
Zhu Youxiao didn't know at the moment that he had already gained two big friends!
He had lunch with the queen, called the guards, and went straight to Huang Xiao's house.
