Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, when several people were in full swing carrying out their careers, although no one dared to run to the back mountain, but Liang Shuopeng in the back mountain was not idle. Recently, he has made a new thing, using electricity, which is the equipment of modern industry - lathes.

Looking at the lathe in front of him, Liang Shuopeng was very happy. When he was in college, his favorite thing was to use a lathe to turn a hammer, for which he never had a girlfriend in four years of college, and he was in front of the lathe every day when he had nothing to do. Now, he can finally do what he loves. During his years in the mines, his favorite place was none other than the blacksmith shop in front of him.

In the blacksmith shop, the blacksmith Lao Zhang is the leader, and Lao Zhang has a total of five blacksmiths. Although they have been together for a long time, because the blacksmiths are not very good at words, to this day he can't call everyone by name, and they all call everyone by whom.

The norm at work is to sweat in the blacksmith shop in a pair of pants. Wearing pants is also a thing that can't be helped, the last time a few other friends came over, Liang Shuopeng was excited and almost rushed out in pants as if he was running naked, it was really not a heart, nor was he an exhibitionist. The temperature in the blacksmith shop is so high that you can't work without pants.

First of all, the blacksmith has to smelt the metal and smelt the ore, and this process requires ultra-high temperatures. In addition, fire is also used when forging, so the temperature in the blacksmith shop is not low, and if you work in clothes, it will not take more than two hours to faint from heat stroke.

So, can you install a large cooling fan in the blacksmith's shop? Liang Shuopeng has also thought about this problem, but it is obviously not realistic. Now there is only one thermal generator in the entire Qingling that he and Cheng Shaowei have modified in cooperation, and the small power is to maintain the energy supply of the mine lights, and the high-power electrical appliances are not to be thought about at all. And the invention of the electric fan is good, but it is an improvement in life, and the urgent thing is not how to make life more comfortable, but to live.

He stroked the lathe in front of him as if he were holding a life-saving straw for himself. It seems like a stable life now, provided that you don't encounter the same things that happened in the royal capital before, but there is no guarantee that they will never happen again. By making a lathe, he can follow his own ideas and turn some parts that only he has in his mind. If these parts are molded as a whole using a lathe instead of being poured, the hardness and strength can be guaranteed.

"Mr. Liang, I have a problem here." A weak voice that was different from the miners sounded, and Liang Shuopeng looked back at it, a blacksmith with a well-proportioned body and relatively white skin. He was one of the five blacksmiths, and he was not stout at all, and the reason why he was able to work here was because he was a distant relative of Lao Zhang, the head of the blacksmith shop, and he was too thin to do the heavy physical work of a miner, so Lao Zhang left him by his side and followed him.

"Your name?" Liang Shuopeng looked at the thin blacksmith suspiciously and asked. The blacksmith smiled and said, "My surname is Hou, and my name is Pickett. Wait, it's okay if you call me Hou Pai, or it's okay for Packett. Liang Shuopeng smiled and asked Hou Pai: "Why does your name look like a person from the Qingling area, and it looks like a foreign one, um... The people of those areas of the royal capital or something? ”

Hou Pai smiled and said, "You mean that the West Caucasians and our Moyan people are here, right?" Liang Shuopeng shook his head and said, "You told me that I probably can't remember it, your language is too complex to speak syllables, and it seems to me that it is very long and difficult to remember." Hou Pai said: "Actually, it's very simple, you just need to remember that this world is mainly divided into two races, one looks similar to us, including these people in Qingling and outsiders like you, and the other looks similar to those people in the royal capital." The difference is that they can do magic, and we don't know how to do magic. ”

After a pause, Hou Pai said, "As for me, I am of mixed blood, my father is from Polaimoyan, and my mother is from the West Caucasus. Liang Shuopeng became interested and asked, "Then you have the genes of the people over there, do you know magic?" Hou Pai's expression was a little gloomy, and he shook his head and said, "Although my mother is from the West Caucasus, she has no magical talent, and she was expelled from the family and thrown to the Qingling area, starving and cold. It was my father who helped her very much, and the two of them got married, and then they had me. ”

Liang Shuopeng patted Hou Pai's shoulder, comforted him, and then asked, "So, what did you want to tell me just now?" Speaking of this, Hou Pai came to the spirit again and said, "Do you know that sound can be preserved? ”

Liang Shuopeng was shocked, there was a Cheng Shaowei before, and he was surprised enough to invent generators and lights from scratch, this thing wouldn't have invented a tape recorder, right? Hou Pai, who looked at him like a monster, was a little uncomfortable, and Hou Pai hurriedly asked, "Mr. Liang, who are you?" "Ah, no. Did you invent something that preserves sound? Liang Shuopeng hurriedly asked.

"yes." Hou Pai said with a smile. Liang Shuopeng said excitedly: "Let's go, take me to see." ”

When Liang Shuopeng arrived, he was a little dumbfounded. He had thought that in front of him was a wire recorder or an old-fashioned gramophone, but he never dreamed that what Hou had shown him now was a large iron bucket with hooks, wrapped in wax and metal sheets.

"Are you sure this thing can save sound?" Liang Shuopeng was a little skeptical. Hou Pai nodded, and then slowly turned, and a voice came out like a silk pull when the signal was bad: "Ding, dang, ding, dang..." Liang Shuopeng heard that the voice really came out, and he was also surprised: "It's really good." ”

Hou Pai shook his head and said: "It's just that when recording the sound is not exactly the same as playing the sound, because I can't make my hand rotate at a constant speed, so the sound can't be particularly restored." At present, this simple percussion sound can be recorded, but it is very difficult to use a sentence or a piece of music. ”

Liang Shuopeng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it can be improved." He really admired the Hou faction in his heart, and he also respected the people in the entire Qingling area. This Rausch sub-world, which is all respected by magic, has buried how many scientific and technological talents who should have shined.

"Yes, I just came to you to talk about improvements." Hou Pai nodded and said, "I had a whim when I saw your steam engine. Since manpower can't reach a steady speed, what about the steam engine? If you connect my invention to a machine, I don't know if it will work. ”

Liang Shuopeng shook his head and frowned: "I'm afraid it won't work, because the steam engine is sometimes fast and sometimes slow is not very stable." It is necessary to have a motor that needs to run at a fixed power. Hou Pai was puzzled: "Motor? "Come with me, and I'll introduce you to someone." When the two of them were about to go out, Liang Shuopeng turned around and hurriedly instructed: "By the way, put on your clothes and go out again." Then he looked back and found that Hou Pai's clothes had already been put on, and he was looking at him with a smile, he patted his head and sighed: "Sure enough, it's really only me who doesn't remember." ”

Liang Shuopeng took Hou Pai to Cheng Shaowei's laboratory, and directly pushed the door and walked in. Since the last siege of the laboratory was resolved by Lin Qiang, the people of the mine now respect Cheng Shaowei very much, so there is no need to lock the door anymore. After entering, he was about to say hello, but he saw a scene that made him jaw-dropping.

I saw Han Xu holding a bunch of fruits that looked a little similar to grapes, and there were water droplets, and he came to Cheng Shaowei's side. Cheng Shaowei looked helpless, but Han Xu was so tall that his arm was on the table, he looked at Cheng Shaowei with a smile while eating, and deliberately said with his throat in his throat: "Come, little brother, the grapes you washed, you eat, eat quickly." ”

Cheng Shaowei twisted the new generator parts in his hand, looking helpless, but he had seen Han Xu's rough side, and he didn't dare to refuse, so he quickly took it with his hand, and was sincerely afraid.

"That, I said Sister Xu, Cheng Wenwen, cough cough, I'll introduce someone to you." Han Xu heard Liang Shuopeng's voice, and straightened his posture in an instant, and the legs of Erlang who brushed were cocked, and then said without changing his face: "You don't have to follow the back mountain to get your little inventions, what are you doing here?" ”

"Good fellow, don't you hate me for bothering you? I'm serious. Liang Shuopeng smiled and took Hou Pai to sit down, and then introduced: "This guy's name is Pickett. Wait, you can call him Hou Pai, he is a cow, he invented the gramophone. ”

"What, really?" Han Xu was also very surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he said, "But what's the use of asking for this thing now." We don't teach English anymore, so why do we need a gramophone? ”

"Who told you it was useless." After Lin Qiang walked in, he scratched his big head, which had lost a lot of hair recently, and said tiredly: "I'm going to die, the gramophone is so good, there is a gramophone to save the sound, just like a loudspeaker in the vegetable market, and you will save yourself from shouting when you put it there." Besides, the voice can stay, so can the phone call also be considered, I run up and down the mine every day, organize people back and forth, and my legs are almost lame. ”

Han Xu looked back at Lin Qiang and said, "You're still tired, you can lose weight if you run more." Then he pouted and said, "Didn't I say that you guys are doing it every day, why do you keep running here if you don't work?" ”

Lin Qiang said angrily: "It should be you who has nothing to do, everyone is busy, and you are the object." "Pop" a grape hit Lin Qiang's face accurately, Lin Qiang didn't look at it, took it and put it in his mouth and ate it.

Cheng Shaowei still scratched his head, but he didn't raise his head, Lin Qiang and Liang Shuopeng also admired him in their hearts: "It has to be Brother Cheng, if this were us, we would have gone crazy a long time ago." ”

"I don't have anything else to do, mainly to ask if the electricity can be at a stable point, and now the workers report that the power is always cut off at night, can this be solved?" Lin Qiang found a chair and sat on his buttocks, and said after taking a breath.
