"By the way, haven't they used the Heaven and Earth Essence-steam hybrid machine as the power system of the mother machine? So have they built anything else so far?" Chen Xi asked with a little curiosity.
"I made it. After I explained it to them, they quickly made it, but the things they made were basically defective products. Ma Jun and Zheng Hun said they understood your idea, but wanted to It's very difficult to get to that point." Jia Xu explained calmly.
After all, Jia Xu has the ability to infer the future from the detailed information currently learned. In addition, Zheng Hun and Ma Jun really believe in the power of machinery. Another one has already gone down the road of mechanical power and large ships and will never return. Lu Jun is at a loss.
Three big guys who firmly believe in machinery, plus a group of elderly people from the Zhang family in Nanyang who have witnessed the charm of machinery in Zhang Heng's hands. After Jia Xu explained the industrial machine, these people actually understood what this thing meant.
Understand machinery, understand machinery, and create machinery. After Jia Xu explained it, they knew that this method is actually to use the heaven and earth essence-steam hybrid power system as the core and combine it with various tools to create a new mechanical system, and it can be gradually 's beyond the machinery they make.
However, how long does this process take? It took almost three hundred years from the time the first steam engine was used to using this as the core power to produce machinery with precision comparable to that of a master craftsman.
One of the advantages of industry over other means is that it has the replicability that other means do not have. The assembly line method allows them to gradually produce new and more sophisticated next-generation products, but this process does not It's not something that can be achieved overnight. To be precise, there are very few things in this world that can be achieved overnight.
Chen Xi's suggestion was relayed by Jia Xu in a way that Lu Jun and others could understand, but they tried to use it as motivation to make matching tools. When these tools were used to reproduce, the accuracy was probably only that of an apprentice. level.
This level is very powerful, so powerful that they have a large number of apprentices in an instant, and they can also produce apprentices in batches.
But this level is also rubbish, rubbish to the point that it is useless for what they want to do, and there is no way to continue to be promoted in a short period of time.
They have seen the future, but such a future requires their generation and their descendants to burn out before they can see what they want to see. This is inexplicably shocking.
Even though this process must involve knowing the truth and seeing the truth, you will fall at the feet of the truth in the process of verifying the truth.
"They asked me to bring you a message." Jia Xu said calmly. His two extremely powerful repeating crossbows were obtained in exchange for these. He didn't like to owe favors, especially to people he didn't know well. Jia Xu can get along well with anyone, but not many people are really familiar with Jia Xu.
"What?" Chen Xi said thoughtfully.
Chen Xi didn't think that this kind of thing could be made just by making it. At his suggestion, Zheng Hun and Ma Jun made high-precision equipment with their own hands and built a steam engine. Chen Xi was already very impressed, but machine tools, even if It’s in the later generations, and it’s not that easy to do.
"They have seen the truth, and they want to verify this. Ten generations, is it enough?" Jia Xu said with a tone of admiration or ridicule that was unclear.
"Maybe it's enough." Chen Xi didn't know how to answer. It's really maybe. This road has no end. The truth can be seen, but it's really not something you can touch if you want. The road they take can indeed transcend the present. The so-called divine craftsman, but the truth...
"Then that's my answer." Jia Xu said calmly. He already knew that this was an endless road, but the family that evolved from the nobility of the Spring and Autumn Period loved to stick to this kind of ultimate truth. , but there is an endless road to walk.
What this group of people want is not the answer, but the process of verifying the answer. For them, the process of verifying the truth and peeking into the details of the birth of the truth may be more important than the truth itself.
Because this is the highest moral heirloom. What they inherit is not classics, poetry, or wealth, but an interpretation of the Tao. This is an elusive, never-ending road to the truth. , enough for them to interpret and verify forever.
"Well, that's all we can do. This thing is really not something that just a few people can make." Chen Xi sighed and said, "But they did this, which means they put the assembly line of primary equipment Is it done?"
"It's done. These things have existed before and are recorded in ancient books. In addition, the accuracy of weights and measures has also been adjusted. Vernier calipers are also available. They have already begun to try etching primary mechanical equipment. "Jia Xu said calmly.
These things have indeed existed since ancient times. During the Warring States Period, after the Mohist movement, Xianglishi was the first to explain the impact of weights and measures accuracy on the production of instruments. Later, he developed in this area and developed universal parts exchange. Then he was even more imaginative and came up with an assembly line.
The equipment assembly line of the Qin people was created by this group of people. As for the vernier calipers and Wang Mang's masterpieces, these are ancient for the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It's just that some things were lost after being used, but when they were taken out, other People may think, isn’t this normal? As everyone knows, these things have really been lost.
"Etching?" Chen Xi frowned, but finally said nothing. It was probably the old men from the Zhang family who were looking for some work for their juniors, as well as some training work.
"It's already very smooth, and both safety and technology have been improved compared to before. The Zhang family gives me the feeling that they are not developing, but reminiscing." Jia Xu frowned and said, because it was too fast, who's family You can figure out the framework of a system in such a short time after getting started. Are you kidding me? Jia Xu still has mental talent, but he is only half-assed now.
When Chen Xi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. Compared with Sheng's level, even the master craftsman's car capacity is not enough for the opponent. If Zhang Heng can live to be almost one hundred and twenty years old like Sang Qin, it will be seen in the whole world. The essence etching system may have been forcibly created.
Sure enough, the power of some people cannot be concealed by so-called time travelers.
"Forget it, leave them alone and let them build the ship quickly. Also, don't let them play tricks. Donglai Prefect has impeached them for playing tricks and disturbing the people several times." Chen Xi said angrily, "Building ships is so troublesome. The keels of the seventh-generation ships have all been dismantled, and all previous efforts have been in vain.”
If Lu Jun were present at this moment, he would definitely have a debate with Chen Xi, because the purpose of dismantling the keel is actually to etch the keel and form a unified network of heaven and earth essence. It is striving for excellence. However, for Chen Xi, seventh-generation ships do not do these things. , as long as you build it, it is unsinkable and can run, it will be the most powerful battleship in the world.
"Okay, Zichuan, don't care about these things. Ji Cai is just striving for excellence, and the seventh-generation ship is almost a thorn in his side. In this regard, he is further than you think. Dragon Bone must have his reasons." Liu Bei patted Chen Xi on the shoulder and signaled him to stop talking.
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore." Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei and said that he wouldn't say anything anymore, but after a while he said, "He doesn't know that just because he dismantled the keel, the previous year was wasted. This way How long will it take to build this ship? Will it be ready in three years?"
When Liu Bei heard this, his mind naturally turned to the left, his eyes flicked to the left, and he looked at Chen Xi with a child-like look, "It's better not to get too entangled in what has already happened. He must be better than you in this regard. I have my own thoughts, and I’m not in a hurry, just walk around, eat, and have a martial arts competition in the afternoon.”
As he spoke, Liu Bei grabbed Chen Xi's clothes and dragged Chen Xi away, leaving a group of people shaking their heads.
"Let's go eat too." Lu Su said to several people. As a good old man, Lu Su said to several people with a cheerful face, "Lunch should be very good. By the way, I still have some old wine in the cellar. We have one point at noon.”
"Well, I remember General Zhang said in the morning that he wanted to compete with someone at noon." Liu Ye thought for a moment and said, "Should we go and have a look."
"Excuse me for refusing." Jia Xu said decisively, "I will not watch any verification related to naval guns, nor any internal air out-of-body level competition without cloud suppression."
Jia Xu didn't give any face to Liu Ye, but Liu Ye looked ugly because of it. On the contrary, he looked a little pale because of Jia Xu's explanation. He was also tricked to death yesterday.
"Adou!" Li You greeted outside expressionlessly, and then Guo Bin, who had had good food for the past two days and had a shiny face, walked in wearing armor.
"Doctor Liu is going to watch the inner-qi out-of-body competition. If you take him there, we won't be able to go." Li You pointed at Liu Ye and said calmly.
Hearing this, Guo Si cupped his fists and saluted Liu Ye, "Please forgive me, Doctor Liu."
After finishing speaking, before Liu Ye understood what happened, Guo Bang had already reached out to support Liu Ye, and then took Liu Ye away.
Liu Ye screamed and struggled, but Guo Bang dragged him hard without stopping at all, and walked out with long strides. People like Sun Qian and others scratched their ears. You asked us to participate in such a dangerous thing. If you want to go, you can go by yourself. If you don’t want to go, I will have someone take you there.
Liu Ye's miserable screams gradually faded away, and the group of people was led by Jia Xu to the meal. However, when they arrived at the place, they saw Liu Ye, and Liu Ye had a look in his eyes that said, "You must have been punished." Looking at Jia Xu and his party, a group of internal Qi separated from the body were competing, and the leader was Lu Bu.
