Ding Jianpeng exclaimed, as if he had found some important clues.

"Are you sure you've been through the blast kiln too?" Ding Jianpeng seemed to be a little anxious.

Xiao Ming also faintly felt that something was wrong, "That's right, a certain ......?" ”

The two had an encounter with each other, and coincidentally, Ding Jianpeng was also in a violent explosion kiln, falling down the stairs of the nine-turn Linglong Tower, the power of the explosion kiln was huge, it simply shook the mountains, and the air waves blew the small trees bent.

The safety of private kilns is poor, the quality of refractory bricks is not up, they generally use the quantity to make up, but the key technology can not be solved, and the kiln will still be frequently fried, but the firing of ceramics does not require too many manpower, the general kiln will not have casualties, the cost is also low, and the value of the famous kiln is high, so there will be a large number of folk kilns in many places, used to imitate porcelain.

Firing ceramics, the requirements for the fire are extremely high, no decades of experience of the elderly, no one can master, the modern process of firing magnetism, the various chemical changes in the kiln must be mastered, due to the addition of different chemical raw materials of the glaze, the various gases produced at high temperatures, without a systematic understanding, it is easy to cause gas expansion and frying the kiln, so the monitoring of the kiln temperature is very strict, and these are not possessed by private kilns.

Xiao Ming encountered even a violent explosion of the kiln, and the two were almost identical in this encounter.

"So, a violent explosion will cause the instability of that time vortex, and thus create a channel!" Ding Jianpeng analyzed, and then he fell into deep thought.

Xiao Ming also felt that it was a breakthrough point, but he lacked knowledge in this area, and he didn't know what to do, since Ding Jianpeng had been studying this for five years, and it would be up to him to see what he said.

"Xiao Ming, I need to do an experiment, let's discuss it," Ding Jianpeng said.

If you want to carry out experiments, you have to deal with specific problems, first of all, the test method, then you must simulate the explosion, but the intensity of the explosion needs to be experimented, and secondly, if the judgment is correct, once the channel is established, it is not easy to say whether it can return to the original time and space, this also requires experiments, and it is necessary to find a way, and secondly, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the vicinity of the scripture hall must be isolated, and no outsiders can approach ......"

Xiao Ming is a liberal arts student, and Ding Jianpeng is a science student, but he is highly educated, and he understands very well what Ding Jianpeng said, the structure of building an overall laboratory, but what about the materials and instruments needed for these things? This is the hardest part.

In this ancient time and space where we are currently located, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to build a modern laboratory, and Ding Jianpeng also realized this problem after talking for a long time.

"Do you want to do a closed explosion test first?" Xiao Ming suggested.

"I had to take it one step at a time, but ...... This explosives ......! ”

Xiao understood and patted his chest, "I'll solve this, the two of us are outside, and the other is here, let's go our separate ways and discuss the division of labor." ”

Xiao Ming first engaged in explosives outside, not to mention advanced explosives, first use the local method to make some, gunpowder in the Song Dynasty has been invented, this is not difficult to get, and there is still a need to prepare some necessary materials, it is impossible to build a laboratory in the short term, but some materials need to be prepared.

Ding Jianpeng has been living in the scripture hall for five years, to see if he can control the scripture hall and open up a closed place, he is now pretending to be a senior monk, the law name: Buddha light, Xiao Ming can't figure out how Ding Jianpeng did it.

The two of them have been plotting for a long time, and they both feel that this matter is difficult, financially, judging from the gold leaf that Xiao Ming took out of his arms, it is not difficult to solve, modern people make money in ancient times It is very simple, but from the details of building the laboratory, it is complicated.

"Is there another way? What is the origin of this upside-down nine-turn exquisite pagoda? Xiao Ming asked.

"The origin of this tower, it is said that it was built by Li Chunfeng in the Tang Dynasty, and the previous building on it was destroyed in the war of the five dynasties, the origin is not clear, everything I know is told to me by Master Jiming."

"Is that the old monk just now?"

"Hmmm! Master Jiming is indeed a master, for my appearance and some incomprehensible phenomena, he accepts, even faster than others to understand, he has always said that I am the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva, in order to confuse others, I will not break it, today's matter, is also arranged by him, he seems to know that you are coming. ”

"Oh! This Jiming is a strange man, is he also like us, I mean he is also a traverser? ”

Ding Jianpeng shook his head, "I don't see it, but this person is indeed a monk, for us, he is of great help, these days, I have closed my door and closed my door, I want to sort out some Buddhist works in later generations, but also to be a cover for my identity, fortunately, my parents at home are all Buddhists, I have seen a lot of information in this regard." ”

"Then should I get in touch with Master Jiming?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Not for the time being, I have also been in contact with his senior brother Master Jihui, and I have always wanted to build a Lingyin Branch, we can take advantage of this, find an opportunity to get him, as long as Lingyin Temple comes forward, our plan can be half realized."

There is nothing to say about the rest of the things, Xiao Ming is in a bad mood, the way back is basically blocked, leaving only a glimmer of hope, he and Ding Jianpeng have to work hard for this glimmer of hope, the distant ancient world, it is indeed impossible for him to have a sense of belonging, Xiao Ming knows that he must rely on himself in a short period of time, survive in the Song Dynasty first, and make a lot of money, without this foundation, if you want to build a laboratory, there is no way to talk about it, but he still has some foundation.

"Five years! The five-year period is a time limit," Xiao Ming secretly thought that the result of Ding Jianpeng's analysis with him was that the fluctuation period of the time vortex was five years, which was a theoretical calculation, and they must seize this opportunity to complete the experiment as soon as possible and open up a channel.

Ding Jianpeng has been here for five years, and he has only been here for a few months, just like Ding Jianpeng said: "It is not difficult to survive by seizing opportunities in troubled times, but if you don't have strength and ambition, you will be eliminated quickly."

……

Xiao Ming finally said goodbye to Ding Jianpeng and returned to the refinery, for Xiao Ming, Ding Jianpeng is a person who makes him feel very close, Xiao Ming held back for a few months, and finally was able to say it happily, because only Ding Jianpeng understands, the two of them have the same experience, and their hearts are naturally very close.

Although Ding Jianpeng is not reluctant to Xiao Ming, he is more rational, for him, Xiao Ming's appearance brings him hope that he can go home, the two have the same goal, and they can only work hard to achieve it as soon as possible.

When they were separated, Ding Jianpeng gave Xiao Ming a gift, this gift is amazing, Xiao Ming regards it as a treasure, it is the world's most advanced technology products in the 21st century: Apple's iPad5 tablet, the latest solar rechargeable battery, aviation ceramics and nickel-aluminum alloy shell, Ding Jianpeng is very well maintained, brand new!

There is a lot of information in the computer, and there are two most important documents, which are the electronic versions of two books, one is the latest edition of the Encyclopedia of Science and Technology in China in 2014, published by China Science and Technology Press, and the other is the History of Science and Technology in China, Dr. Joseph Needham, 2009, The Commercial Press.

In addition, there are a large number of relevant cultural relics and environmental planning documents of the unit, as well as more than a dozen Buddhist works, including those written by Buddhist monks in the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as contemporary Buddhist works and papers.

What is rare is that although Ding Jianpeng looks like a nerd, he still has a game in the computer, "Age of Empires" 3, and several small movies.

"Hey, hey! There is even a love action movie in an island country," Xiao Ming couldn't help but crack his mouth and laugh out loud.

……

Xiao Ming almost stayed up all night, read the books and materials, and the next morning, Xiao Ming wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Yang Zhen, the content was to ask Yang Zhen to provide some gunpowder, Xiao Ming did not know the specific situation of the development of gunpowder in the Song Dynasty, and he needed to analyze and study it himself.

At noon, there was a sudden commotion outside the door of the refinery, and Mr. Li, the account room, was sent by Gu Shouzhen to invite Xiao Ming.

Originally, the area around the west city of Hangzhou Mansion is mostly a craftsman household area, and there are more than 30 blacksmith shops of all sizes, these blacksmith shops are very small in scale, and they usually create some agricultural and household ironware, and then they are for the mules and horses of merchants from other places, and they are replaced to make farriers.

Therefore, there is no relationship with the competition with the Gu family refinery, but a while ago, the Gu family refinery expanded vigorously, invited people everywhere, and the conditions were extremely generous, and many skilled guys have jumped ship, making more than half of the guys in more than 30 blacksmith shops run, and now everyone will stop doing it, isn't this smashing people's jobs and not giving their peers a way to live?

Therefore, more than 30 blacksmith shops joined forces and came to the door together today, asking the Gu family's refinery to give an explanation, and they were noisily confirming the matter just now.

When Xiao Ming came to the front yard, Gu Shouzhen was already anxious, and when she saw Xiao Ming coming, Gu Shouzhen wiped the sweat on her forehead and handed over her eyes for help.

"Shopkeeper Gu, we know that your craftsmanship is superb, and you have always been able to receive the business of building weapons from the government, and we have no one to fight with you, but you are too much to do!"

"Yes, they all rely on craftsmanship to eat, you can't force people too much!"

"As the saying goes, peers are enemies, but the shopkeeper is forcing your peers to a dead end!"

Looking at the indignant faces, Gu Shouzhen shook her hands continuously.

"Guys, guys, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong!"

"You set the salary so high, and you still have food and shelter, and the apprentice can go to the furnace back then, isn't it clear that you are breaking the rules, and now my guys are coming to you, and you let us drink the northwest wind in the future?"

"It's, it's just, you can't eat meat yourself, but let us drink the wind! We must be given an account today! ”

"That's it, that's it, give me an explanation!"

At this time, Xiao Ming separated everyone, coughed lightly in his mouth, and suppressed the noise of everyone.

"Everyone, bosses, I know everyone's difficulties, but I have a question for everyone, I don't know who can answer it?"

Among the crowd, an old blacksmith surnamed Hu was the leader, and he raised his hand and said loudly: "Okay, this official, please speak."

Xiao Ming sorted out his thoughts and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone is a good craftsman with dexterous skills, and they are all people who work diligently, and everyone knows a truth, that is, as long as you work hard, you can live a good life, but why, if it is peaceful today, our business has not improved?" In addition to paying the business tax for opening a shop, why do we have to pay the coal and iron tax? Why are the prices of the ore and coal we buy getting higher and higher? ”

This question is a bit deep, and the big and rough people all look at each other, and some people who understand what they think is, isn't it just like this.

Xiao Ming looked at everyone, and then said, "What are we opening a shop to make iron? It's not for the sake of silver, the imperial court encourages industry and commerce, and exempts the taxes of artisans, but we still can't earn silver, why is this? Have you ever wondered? ”

The people below shook their heads, and someone whispered: "The price of coal and iron ore, people have the final say, we can't be the master!" ”

"That's right, for the upstream coal and iron ore, we have no pricing power, people say how much is how much, but we build ironware, the price does not dare to rise, if the price rises, the villagers will not be able to afford it, and in the end everyone's things are all backlogged, and the vicious circle continues, we have no good life."

"The pricing power you are talking about, is it up to us to set the purchase price of coal and iron ore?" Blacksmith Hu asked.

"That's right, what we're doing now in the Gu Clan Refinery is actually to obtain this valuable pricing power, the Gu Clan Refining Workshop has received a contract for the construction of weapons from the government within ten years, we need to expand the scale, we need a large number of people, for all of you, our method is to absorb the union! Only by twisting into a rope and forming a fist can we influence the pricing power of coal and iron. ”

Blacksmith Hu asked, "Absorb the union?" Are you going to buy all of our shops? ”

"Wrong! It's not a buy, it's an equity swap! Xiao Ming said loudly with a lively spirit.
