Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

That being the case, it is better to find a way to absorb it. "

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen looked confident, Xu Guangqi said, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "I have seen the iron-making method in ancient times in ancient books.

Limestone must be put into Fanbai steelmaking and Damascus steel when refining.

Although I don't understand what it means, the quality of Baishen steel and Damascus steel is obvious, so I thought I could try adding limestone. "

After Xu Guangqi bowed to answer, Emperor Chongzhen simply added another sentence just to be on the safe side: "Whether it is useful or not to throw limestone in, even if it is immediately smelted steel that is better than [-]-smelted steel, Xu Aiqing might as well throw in more other things. Go in and have a try."

Emperor Chongzhen thought very simple, throw more things, who knows what he will get?

How many materials in later generations are obtained by mixing such messy things unintentionally?

If Lao Xu made some special alloy steel because of this, it would be awesome.

Thinking of alloy steel, Emperor Chongzhen went on to say: "Xu Aiqing might as well refine two or several different materials together, no matter whether they are thrown in together or in order, in short, just try.

I am not afraid of waste, as long as some useful things can be obtained, no matter how much material is wasted, it is worth it. "

Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely make more trials and see what I can get in the end."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "That's right, many things are obtained by accident, but it's just a matter of constant trial and error. I have to make a request to Xu Aiqing."

Xu Guangqi said curiously: "Please give orders, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "My request is actually very simple, that is, any experiment conducted in this Royal Academy, no matter what it is for, must have detailed records."

Xu Guangqi smiled and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, any experiment in the Royal Academy today is actually recorded."

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head lightly, and then continued: "What I want is not a rough record, but a detailed one.

For example, the materials used in each experiment must be accurate to the point of money, and the time used in each experiment must also be more accurate. "

Thinking that the time must be accurate, Emperor Chongzhen regained his spirit.

This is a good opportunity to pretend, don't let it go.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Xu Aiqing must know that the time measurement methods used by my Ming Dynasty today are just hours, quarters of an hour, a cup of tea, and instants. I think it is quite unchanged, especially when we are doing this. It is even more inappropriate for such experiments as iron-making and steel-making.”

Xu Guangqi said curiously, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "I think it can be subdivided. For example, divide an hour into two, and divide it into hours. Divide hours into minutes, called minutes, and divide into breaths, called seconds."

Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, if an hour is divided into two hours, how many minutes will one hour be divided into? When an hour is divided into seconds, how many seconds will one minute be? How is a second defined? "

Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to tell Xu Guangqi how simple it is to have 1 minutes for an hour and 60 seconds for [-] minute.

But this kind of theory has to find a reason.

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen said calmly: "I think the Sixty Years is the earliest and greatest invention of my Han people.

Its year is a cycle of 60 years, month is a cycle of five years, day is a cycle of [-] days, and time is a cycle of five days.

In this case, it is better to divide an hour into sixty minutes, and one minute can be divided into sixty seconds.

I did a rough calculation just now, and the time for one breath of a person is exactly about one second. "

Xu Guangqi thought for a while, then bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I will calculate the hours, minutes, and seconds in detail later, and finally write to Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed, and said: "There is no rush, as long as the division of time is accurate, and with more precise weights and measures, the data of these experiments will be accurate. After continuous verification, you can always get Come up with something useful."

After finishing his speech, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to the steam engine again, and said to Xu Guangqi: "I have another idea, I wonder if Xu Aiqing can help me realize it?"

Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."

Seeing Xu Guangqi's white hair and silver-white beard, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't bear it, but resisted and said: "Xu Aiqing, I think the carriage is driven by the horses to move forward, and the axle is driven by the axle. Turned the wheels again.

If this steam engine is found to be placed on a carriage, as long as there is a way to control the direction, will there be no need for horses to pull the carriage?

If it is feasible, then think about it further, as long as the steam engine is enlarged several times, can it pull more things? "

While talking, Emperor Chongzhen also became interested, and simply squatted on the ground and gestured: "If the track is laid and the cars are fixed on it, one connected to the other, can a bigger steam engine pull more things at a time?" ?”

Xu Guangqi, who also squatted down and watched Emperor Chongzhen's gestures, looked at the two long lines drawn by Emperor Chongzhen, and there was a short line in the middle, and asked curiously: "I understand the orbit your Majesty said, but these horizontal lines What are the wires for?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Think about it, Ai Qing, if a car is loaded with too many things, will it be heavier?

If there are two separate tracks, wouldn't they be crushed and sink into the ground?If there are these horizontal stone pillows underneath to share the pressure, wouldn't it be much more stable? "

But Xu Guangqi suddenly said: "Your Majesty's words are correct. If only two thin rails are used to carry the goods on the cart, the force-bearing area is extremely small and it will sink. If these small horizontal line stone pillows are used as the foundation, it will It is equivalent to artificially apportioning the force-bearing area to each stone pillow, which must be much more stable."

Well, what you said makes sense, and I don't know if it's true or not.

A novice in science and engineering like Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what the purpose of laying pillow stones under the train tracks in later generations was. He only knew that there was such a thing, so he drew it by himself. What he said just now was just taken for granted. Xu Guangqi's.

It's just that Xu Guangqi summed up so many things based on his own messy statements. These guys who play science are really scary.

Emperor Chongzhen simply stood up from the ground, and said to Xu Guangqi: "Xu Aiqing can summarize these things, and then teach them."

After Xu Guangqi bowed to answer, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Xu Aiqing must get out this steam engine and a steam locomotive earlier, and I will have great use at that time."

Chapter 268 This Water Is Very Sweet

Man Daming didn't know how many villages there were called Xiaozhangzhuang and Xiaolizhuang.

Emperor Chongzhen has always been fond of these small villages.

Since the hometown before the previous life was an ordinary small village, every time Emperor Chongzhen sneaked out of the palace to visit privately in micro-services, he liked to find a small village to visit.

Only Fang Zhenghua, Wei Zhongxian who hurried back to the capital from Shaanxi, and Wen Tiren didn't like it very much.

For no other reason, people who have served the emperor since ancient times, no matter if they are eunuchs or ministers of civil and military affairs, don't like this kind of emperor who just likes to mess around when he has nothing to do.

It's so frustrating.

People say that when the inspector censor leaves the capital, it is considered a failure if he cannot shake the ground. There is nothing wrong with this.

Inspecting the censor out of Beijing, checking the past along the way, if it is upright, I don't know how many officials will be unlucky and be censored by the censor.

If you meet someone who wants both life and money, it will not be very beautiful. The officials along the way have to do it up and down, and they have to wipe the shit off their buttocks.

The inspecting censors are so majestic, so what about the emperor's micro-clothes?

The emperor travels in micro-clothes, what a majestic fart.

This is the truest portrayal.
