Guo Kai didn't come back from Taixue until the sunset. He went to Lantai to do some cooking. After proving that he was alive, Guo Kai no longer had to go to Lantai, so he took a few days off.
When asking for leave, Guo Kai didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed. He always worked flexibly with Jian Yong - something might happen at any time, and sometimes he would work for three days and three nights. After finishing the work, he would ask someone to ask for leave on his behalf. Sleep all day and night.
Therefore, Guo Kai didn't think there was any problem with asking for leave at all. He even felt that it was quite rare for him to take leave on his own initiative. In the past, others would ask for leave for him.
On the contrary, the other censors had complicated expressions. They had not been appointed for almost two years and asked for leave on the first day after taking office. The main reason was that Guo Kai came with the leave note given by Li You.
If it weren't for the fact that the censors of Lantai were all under Li You. Knowing who Li You was, they all wondered if this boy was Li You's illegitimate son.
After taking the leave note, Guo Kai went to the university with a gift to see his teacher. As a result, after he went, he was regarded as an outstanding model student and was put on display. He also gave two Go classes in place of Wang Lie. The students were eye-opening, all of them could still show such expressions.
Later, Guo Kai showed how to play the end game with God. The students were dumbfounded, especially those who had been classmates with Guo Kai. They were even jealous of Guo Kai's bronze seal and black ribbon. It’s all gone. Is this something humans did?
Although Guo Kai gave a very simple description of what this job was about and calculated it using mathematical methods. The students present who were good at mathematics could understand it more or less, but when the map was put up, he started to demonstrate seriously how to do it with God. At the end of the game, the juniors had a feeling, is this really what they should know at their age?
After just demonstrating it like this, it got dark. Then Guo Kai wore his big cloak and chatted with a few old classmates, saying that he would wait for Xiu Mu to treat everyone to dinner or something, and then quickly left. To be honest, Guo Kai I'm not used to this kind of attention-grabbing environment.
Although when he was in college, he was doing well just because of his skills, but that kind of goodness was just a sign of superiority among his classmates, but now, to be honest, he can't stand it anymore.
Therefore, after making an agreement with several classmates, Guo Kai quickly ran away.
It was already dark when Guo Kai walked back. Although the neighbors here were equipped with special street lights, since the weather changed, the activation of the essence of heaven and earth increased, causing the brightness of the street lights to drop a lot. Li Yuan, who was originally in charge of this matter We should start researching new etching technology quickly, but for some reason, the light has been on so dimly.
In Li Yuan's words, this luminosity is in line with the level of oil lamps. This luminosity is suitable at night. The previous one was too bright. In short, the street light panels currently installed in Han Dynasty are almost at the current level in terms of brightness. .
"Shengzhi, are you okay?" Just when Guo Kai was about to go home, the door of Langarajan's house opened, and then Langarajan leaned out half of his body and asked, obviously waiting for Guo Kai to come back. , and the half-opened front door was enough for Guo Kai to see that Lan Bozu's house was brightly lit.
"It's nothing, it's just that I need to meet my mother and grandfather." Guo Kai thought for a while and said, not understanding why Langarajan was waiting for him.
"You have finished paying your respects. If you have nothing to do, you can come to my place. I have a Go enthusiast here." Rangarajan said with a smile, and Guo Kai nodded to express his understanding.
Guo Kai walked back, and Langarajan quickly returned to his hall without closing the door. He had to let Masinde see how insignificant human Go is today.
"Have people been recruited?" Masinde asked with a grin.
"Just wait, it will come in a moment." Rangarajan said with a bit of ridicule. He couldn't beat Masinde without using his spiritual talent, but it was useless. If he turned on his spiritual talent, Masinde would definitely be no match. When Guo Kai comes, it’s self-evident what the result will be.
"There are really a lot of weird things here in the Han Dynasty." Masinde looked at the light board hanging on the ceiling of Rangarajan's living room and shook his head. "I think there are such things outside in the open air."
"Chen Zichuan said that disasters tend to happen at night because it is quiet and lightless at night, so putting up street lights makes it easier for watchmen and patrolmen to work. In addition, there is generally no curfew in Chang'an, and many people use street lights at night. Let’s do some sewing and chat down there.” Lan
Galajan explained casually, "Later, Chen Zichuan set up a large-scale workshop to produce this."
"This thing is not easy to produce." Masinde took a look and made sure there were etching marks on it. He knew that ordinary people couldn't make this thing. Maybe the big lights in the living room of Langarajan are all Langarajan. Zhan studied the etching of the street lamp at the door and figured it out himself.
"It's not easy to produce, so someone here built an automatic rubbing and etching device, allowing buyers to activate it themselves." Rangarajan said expressionlessly.
Masinde was stunned. Can the automatic rubbing and etching equipment activate itself?
"She is the wife of that scary boy Zhuge Kongming." Rangarajan said flatly, "This is also the reason why it is difficult to change the street lamp at the door. It's not that we can't create the kind of lamp above our heads that consumes the essence of heaven and earth to produce light energy. There is a high probability that the new automatic rubbing and etching equipment will not be able to produce lamp panels, so we can only continue to do so for now.”
"I can look outside, but it's much brighter than an oil lamp." Masinde glanced at the street lamp outside the outer wall and said with some emotion.
"Compare this to the one on your head and say it again." Rangarajan sneered, "There are two different things between a technology that can be popularized and a technology that can only be mastered and used at our level."
"It was so bright before?" Masinde said in surprise.
"In the past, Chang'an was brightly lit, and the night was like day. I have seen the grand scene of Chang'an recorded by wealthy households in Chang'an. At that time, the Lantern Festival was a city that never sleeps."
Rangarajan said with emotion, "Many people are studying this light panel now, hoping to restore the never-night scene of Chang'an again, but it is a pity that new automatic rubbing and etching equipment has not been developed."
There is no automatic rubbing and etching equipment. The labor cost of relying solely on manual etching is too high when most ordinary people are unable to perform etching.
It is true that a giant like Masinde can make a large piece of it for his own use as long as he masters this kind of etching, but there are a few giants like Masinde.
The reason why Li Yuan was favored back then was actually because he designed the automatic filling and etching technology for the Yuanrong Crossbow when filling the crossbow arrows, and developed the light panel rubbing and etching technology based on this. Both of these are the basis for the low-end popularization of high-end technologies. .
As a result, the changes in the sky destroyed both of them, causing the difficulty of rubbing and etching technology to increase crazily. As a result, Li Yuan, who was able to do it before, still couldn't do it in the current environment after studying it for a long time.
How to describe this technology? In Chen Xi’s opinion, it can almost be regarded as the foundation for the development of heaven and earth essence technology. All technologies can only develop rapidly if they solve the problem of technology popularization. If only a few people can use something, even if it can If you continue to push forward, the efficiency will be extremely low.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan, who is currently stuck on this thing, is already a little discouraged. After working on it for more than two years, there has been almost no progress. If he hadn't known that the technical idea was correct, Li Yuan might have changed directions.
"Even a person like me who doesn't understand business can see that this thing is worthless." Masinde looked at it and said.
"Yes, the value is not calculated, that is, because the value is not calculated, the five major wealthy businessmen in the Central Plains have dedicated investments, but as of now, at my level, no one can develop automatic rubbing and etching technology, and can only do it manually, even if it relies on The scale of manpower can be diluted, but the cost of people who can do this is very high." Rangarajan nodded and said.
In fact, Chen Xi also asked the young master to work on it privately. Although he was also working on the technology of converting the essence of heaven and earth into electricity, and then relying on electricity to light up the lamps, especially the latter, the technical idea was very clear, if he really wanted to do it. Chen Xi can almost do it now.
It's just that Chen Xi is also in an awkward branch line now. Li Yuan's technology has a clear direction and will definitely accumulate time. The cost of Li Yuan's technology branch is lower than the cost of the electric light route taken by Chen Xi, and Li Yuan's technology branch has a clear direction. This technical branch of Yuan is likely to be one of the several basic cornerstones of Tiandi Jingqi technology.
Therefore, Chen Xi has been stuck here. He will check the situation first. If there is really no movement for ten or eight years and he is stuck and cannot move, then he will take the electric light route first.
This is why Chen Xi was very accommodating and even a bit laissez-faire about the Chang'an light panel incident.
"Well, they are all smart people. It's a pity that there are some things that people who don't do this don't understand at all." Masinde said with a touch of ridicule, everyone saw the benefits.
, but some benefits are not what you want to get, which is very helpless.
"Speaking of which, my biggest feeling in Chang'an is that the thinking mode of the Han Dynasty is different from that of ours." Rangarajan said with some thought. The two of them now need to deepen their understanding of each other, and they also need to understand each other better. Let's take a breather and unify our stance.
"It has nothing to do with Chang'an. It has a lot to do with Chen Zichuan. His stance is on development. When he met me today, he already explained some things to me. The angle is very different, but it is indeed beyond my previous knowledge. , the logic is very clear." Masinde said seriously, "His understanding of the world is a completely systematic logic."
"At this level, who is not?" Rangarajan asked without knowing why.
Without direct communication with Chen Xi, even if you just look at various construction and developments in the Central Plains, it is actually just a blind man feeling the elephant. Just like Masinde’s comments on roads, construction, transportation, etc. before he met Chen Xi. After Chen Xi communicated, there were huge changes.
The previous criticism was not wrong, but was completely covered by the subsequent cognition. If I really want to say the previous situation, it is actually "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain."
Langarajan has a very high level, but Langarajan has not systematically communicated with Chen Xi on social structure and state operations. When Chen Xi faced Masinde, he realized that Masinde was the current state operator. , the most important piece of the puzzle for social construction, so we decisively provide the lowest-level framework construction structure.
The easiest way to recognize reality in this world is to stand at the bottom of the mountain and look up, or stand on the top of the mountain and look down. Chen Xi has given the lowest level of framework construction, which is enough for a person of Masinde's level to see clearly too much. Lots of stuff.
"It's all there, but his understanding of the world can be fully compatible with you when he is fully compatible with me. What he said before is, "The main thing is that you are too weak. Anyone who is strong enough to suppress everyone will It's not a problem, it's actually correct. He suppresses everyone and may be compatible with all their perceptions. "
Rangarajan stopped smiling and just looked at Masinde.
"If this were not the case, would I agree so easily? There is a saying in the Han Dynasty that people with different principles should not work together." Masinde sighed softly, and Rangarajan became extremely solemn.
Masinde didn't care and told Rangarajan what he heard from Chen Xi about the structure of the bottom of society. Rangarajan immediately fell into deep thought after hearing this. Even Guo Kai didn't react when he came in from the main entrance. .
"What's wrong with Uncle Lan?" Guo Kai looked at Masinde with some confusion and asked.
"I'm thinking about something." Masinde said casually, "Are you Brother Chen's grandson? You are very handsome, especially with this bearing. You are a young and talented man. Tsk tsk tsk. Just call me Uncle Ma."
Guo Kai scratched his head, not wanting to accept it. As a result, Mahinde pulled Guo Kai to sit down. As for Guo Kai calling him Langarajanlan Pazu, Mahinde didn't let him change it and just called him the same name as others. Like Lao Ma, they no longer care about this.
However, unlike Langarajan when he met Guo Kai, when Masinde's eyes fell on Guo Kai, even if he did not turn on his spiritual talent, he vaguely felt that Guo Kai was suitable for the job. This is where the most talented people are always worth cultivating.
Therefore, this sentence about young talents is not a simple compliment, but a true expression of Masinde's feeling that this child is suitable for work.
"Uncle Ma." Guo Kai got off the donkey, but Ma Xinde was definitely older than Uncle Chen who was in his early sixties, so Guo Kai called out "Uncle Ma" very respectfully. Ma Xinde responded and took Guo Kai directly. Go to the inner hall and leave the dazed Rangarajan where he is.
The next day, Masinde had a bad face. He was killed by Guo Kai yesterday and everyone in Masinde was numb. He dreamed about playing chess at night, and he didn't even recover when he woke up.
Rangarajan thought about it for a whole night after Masinde relayed what Chen Xi said about the underlying operating structure of society and the people's completion of their jobs.
Langarajan was different from Masinde in that he was a descendant of the royal family of Bactria. The Yueshi's destruction of Bactria was considered usurpation, so his descendants still enjoyed privileges. As a noble, he suffered a greater impact.
