Shenkeng system

Chapter 148 Screws, Screws

Zhao Sixin said, your sister!Didn't you bring me here? Looking at the book I handed over, you asked me why I was here!

Of course, Zhao Si didn't dare to say that!He just cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you have really seen it!"

Zhao Ji picked up the book, looked at the cover, and then looked at the master and apprentice Zhao Si who stood respectfully aside, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Oh! I really read it! Forget about the master and apprentice Aiqing Yes! This is a good book. Although the general story is the same as what is told in Wazi, the book is very interesting! If the one in Wazi is for coaxing children, then this one is really for adults... ..."

"Your Majesty! It's true! This book is full of profound Buddhist teachings!" Zhao Si continued the emperor's words, "The Buddhist teachings are so profound that it is generally difficult to understand them deeply. , and it is difficult to preach it to others...Nowadays, the family teacher has integrated the profound Dharma into this Journey to the West story in a simple way, which is a way that the public likes to hear and see. , I have enlightened! This is of far-reaching significance to the promotion of my Dharma..."

"Hahahaha! Hearing what you said, I feel that you are still filial to me! Very good! Master, outside Xuanyifang, there is a Bodhi Temple, which is another temple supported by the royal family besides Daxiangguo Temple. Master, you are the host there! In the future, whenever I have spare time, I will invite Master to give lectures in the palace! Now, please ask Master to explain this "Journey to the West" to me!"

"According to the order!"

"Ying Xing! Hurry up and get busy! Try to brighten up my palace as soon as possible with that 'electricity'!"

Zhao Sidao said: "Follow the order!" and slowly exited the emperor's study.

The old monk has lived a life of wind and rain, miserable life, and life and death, so there is nothing to ignore. Since he wants to tell the emperor about this Journey to the West, and it is based on the deep meaning of Buddhism, it is also in line with his wishes. The old monk then moved With the kung fu of spitting out lotus flowers, he began to explain the Buddhist version of "Journey to the West" to the emperor Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji was originally a literary emperor. Interesting, the original frivolous mind and temperament have gradually subsided a lot...

As a result, I gradually became obsessed with it, and even moved the thoughts of Prince Zhao Heng, wanting to learn Zen from the old monk...

This gradually aroused strong dissatisfaction from a group of loyal civil servants, who began to accuse Zhao Si of being a jester. Of course, the most dissatisfied were those celebrities who favored the emperor, such as Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and the like...Of course, this It's all a few years later!
Now that the old monk is giving lectures to the emperor, Zhao Sifeng comes to his R&D department of Yingxing Company and summons his Thirteen Taibao assistants for a meeting!
At this time, although Zhao Si invented many new gadgets, especially gunpowder and electricity, which shocked the whole country and pushed himself to the forefront of everyone's chat after dinner, his existence did not pose any threat to others, so the courtiers On the one hand, no one came out to fight against Zhao Si. After all, behind Zhao Si stood an interest alliance, that is, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, and Zhao Si's interest alliance.

"Electrician knowledge, you have studied for so long, everyone must be a master in this field?" Zhao Si glanced at his thirteen assistants.

"Teacher, there may be some lack of theory, but simple things such as power connection, power transmission, and lighting installation should not be a problem!" Xu Zijing, a senior brother of the Thirteenth Taibao, said, "Of course, if large-scale power transmission equipment is involved, This also requires knowledge and experience in other fields..." Xu Zijing was originally a carpenter and mason. He studied for a few days when he was a child. , learned a very delicate carpenter's craft, and later was recommended by someone to enter the Military Weapons Supervision.After seeing the labor-saving compound bow designed by Zhao Si, he was very impressed. Later, he waited on Zhao Si and slowly became Zhao Si's first disciple...Of course, when Zhao Si started tinkering with steam engines and generators, A lot of ideas about exquisite mechanical structures come from this guy...

"All of you are top craftsmen, you should know the truth of everything, right? Now the holy decree, asking us to illuminate the palace, as a teacher, I knew that there would be such a day, so I have been preparing for it. The mass-produced high-voltage arc lamps, converters, voltage regulators, and of course the simplest bamboo charcoal filament incandescent lamps, covered copper wires, and various lacquered, ceramic, and rubber insulating materials, high-voltage How are the materials for the transmission tower prepared?" Zhao Si blah blah blah blah blah, and everyone stopped in awe!

Liu Xidi, the second disciple who was a blacksmith, said in a low voice: "The high-voltage transmission tower is unrealistic! If you use wood to make it, it's okay, but if you use steel to make it, we can't make it at all according to your blueprint, teacher!" Liu Xidi unfolded An effect drawing drawn by Zhao Si, saying: "We have no way to connect and fix these angle irons..." The effect drawing and mechanical decomposition diagram drawn by Zhao Si are of course completely in accordance with his impression of the towering high-voltage transmission tower Patterns come!

"Idiot! Use screws..." Zhao Si blurted out, but immediately realized that there is no such thing as screws these days!
Sure enough, someone asked: "What is a screw?"

"It's a kind of connecting and fixing two separate parts... It's hard to explain! Wait until we make this thing, and you will understand! Why hasn't this thing been made yet? The screw is a foot of industrialization. Without this foot, we will not be able to make more and more difficult and high-precision things in the future... Uh, how do we connect the fixed parts for the boilers and steam engines we made earlier?"

"Basically, they use the carpenter's method of fixing the structure with mortise and tenon... But mortise and tenon are not practical for connecting and fixing angle irons..." Liu Xidi said.

"Okay! Try it with two wooden poles and see what their maximum carrying capacity is? I suddenly felt that our power plant is not far from Bianjing City, and this area is all plains. Are there any particularly tall ones?" Trees and buildings, and the power required for simple lighting and other daily life is not very large. We don’t need to use a [-]-volt high-voltage transmission posture to transmit such a small amount of electricity! In fact, our small power plant is just a small It’s a small fight, so a tall wooden electric pole is enough... It was indeed my mistake in front of me. Originally, there was no need to kill chickens with a knife. The development of things must have a process, and it cannot be done overnight..." Zhao Si told his assistants After the task was issued, he said to Liu Xidi and Lao Baji Ting: "You two come with me, the three of us will retreat for ten days, and solve the problem of connection and fixation..."

Everyone was taken aback by what Zhao Si said, and then they realized that they were going to study something called a screw!
