"Any other way?"
Tantai Leshan frowned slightly and asked, "For example?"
"How about using another substance to push the piston?"
Li Ang said: "For example, there is a layer of water in the middle, and the wind pushes the water, and the water then presses the piston, making it move back and forth..."
He paused and hurriedly added: "Of course I don't understand it very well, I just said it casually."
"Using water as the medium..."
The doctors pondered and discussed.
"Water is difficult to compress, so it might work."
"But how do you control the water splashing under the influence of wind?"
"Can you imitate the rotary water pump used to make allicin?"
Seeing the doctors discussing each other, Li Ang silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike soap, toilet soap, absorbent cotton as daily necessities, and allicin as medicine, once the power engine is invented, it will "eat people".
Not to mention anything else, just using an engine to make a high-efficiency loom would be enough to defeat a small farming family where men farmed and women weaved.
Silk weaving factories that have been renovated on a large scale in order to pursue profits will lead to problems such as child labor, land occupation, and poor production conditions causing workers to suffer from various diseases.
But it won’t work if we don’t promote the development of power engines. More efficient locomotives and machine tools can trigger earth-shaking changes, greatly increase productivity, and change the lives of the people of Yu State.
'Let's see what Tantai Leshan and the others will do. '
Li Ang said silently in his heart, "In the words spoken by Zhaoming Yajiu, the truth and lies were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish."
But he was right about one thing. Without the strong supervision and control of the academy, the living environment of workers may not be much better than that of self-sufficient farmers. '
In the memory of another world, the miserable life of the lower class workers in the early industrial age is vividly visible. It is no exaggeration to say that it is dyed with blood and tears.
The right to speak,
I need to have more say and actual power within the Academy.
Only when the power engine is officially invented can you, as a member of the Academy, ensure that it is used on the right track.
Li Ang secretly decided that if he wanted to guide, suppress, and even control the Yu State bureaucrats,
The position of Academy Secretary is far from enough, at least it has to be a wine offering, or even a mountain chief...
"Let's do it step by step. If we make the device too big, we have to consider the overall weight of the aircraft model and its flight efficiency."
Tantai Leshan waved his hand, setting the tone for this discussion, and turned to Li Ang and said: "By the way, Risheng, you are here this time..."
"Oh yes, I almost forgot about the real thing."
Li Ang took out an application form from his arms and handed it to Tantai Leshan.
The content of the application form was to use 100,000 yuan of flying money and the 1,000 credits that Li Ang had accumulated through classes, exams, patents, etc. to ask the doctor of engineering in the blacksmithing workshop to help forge weapons and equipment.
"Um?"
Tantai Leshan took the application form and looked at each other with Doctor of Science Su Feng and others, both of whom were a little surprised.
Academy disciples can apply to use the blacksmithing workshop outside of class time.
If you use credits for legitimate reasons, you can also consume materials in the workshop to make inventions, or ask a doctor to help you cast items.
However, it depends on whether the engineering doctors are free and whether they will be given face.
For some special materials, credits alone are not enough. You have to pay for them yourself, and you also have to consider the labor costs for the doctor.
One hundred thousand strings, plus one thousand credits, can create pretty good weapons and equipment.
"Risheng, are you planning to travel and get yourself a set of equipment?"
Su Feng smiled and said: "Some of your senior brothers and sisters who are about to graduate may not be able to afford such a price."
"Uh... we're going to need it in the future anyway, so we might as well get it right in one step."
Li Ang made up a reason casually. The mo silk in his body currently has the defensive power of an acquired body-refining warrior level, and there are no dead spots yet.
But that's Bateman,
With the identity of "Li Ang", he is still a freshman in the Academy in the Hidden Realm and cannot show strength beyond this level. So use equipment and props as cover.
"Yeah, that's fine."
Su Feng nodded, "The promotion and use of allicin cannot be separated from you. If you have more self-defense methods, we can rest assured.
The equipment forged at this price is enough to reach the Cloud Patrol Realm. "
Tantai Leshan is usually responsible for the management of the forging workshop. He happened to be here today. He completed the procedures for using the forging workshop in a few seconds and was willing to help Li Ang forge equipment in person.
"Thank you Tantai Siye."
Li Ang said sincerely that once a monk reaches the Zhuxiao realm, he can practice instinctively every moment.
Spending spiritual energy on other things is equivalent to slowing down one's own practice progress.
Even those who are greedy for money, like Xi Yangyu, usually don't take action easily - they have to add money, a lot of money.
"It's easy to say, even if it's for the sake of malaria prevention and control, I will help."
Many relatives in Leshan, Tantai, died of malaria in the early years. Now that there are effective strategies to prevent and treat malaria, he was very friendly to Li Ang. He smiled and waved, and took down a few thick books from the shelf nearby. The thick booklet was handed to Li Ang.
These books record all the equipment and props produced by the forging workshop in the past.
From bows and crossbows, armor, to swords and horses, everything is available.
There are also special equipment that monks of different paths will only use after they reach the Listening to Rain Realm.
For example, the talisman-free paper talisman-drawing device used by talisman masters,
The mind threads used by mind masters, clever puppets,
All kinds of magical tools used by magicians, etc.
The spread of these forging blueprints can trigger bloody battles among non-academic monks. As for the academy disciples, they only need to pay the price of credits and money to directly obtain the finished product.
Seeing Li Ang carefully flipping through the album, Dr. Su Feng said with a smile: "You are still in hiding, and the power of flying swords and other things is limited. It is better to give priority to forging close-fitting soft armor and simple-to-use crossbows.
You can look at pages 134, 169, and 180 of Volume 1.
Volume 3, page 211, page 227..."
Following Su Feng's prompts, Li Ang flipped through the album and saw several schematic diagrams of soft armor and crossbows. His eyes lit up, "Just these two, okay?"
"Let me see."
Su Feng took the album and raised his eyebrows, "Dragon armor, clever crossbow?"
The Dragon Armor is a close-fitting leather armor made from the leather on the inner side of the Dragon Monster (the special material used in the academy's return). It has excellent protective properties and can cover the arms, armpits and other parts without affecting free movement.
The Lingji Crossbow is a small sleeve crossbow that can be folded up and hidden under the sleeve. When in use, the crossbow can be extended with a flick of the wrist.
It is an assassination weapon commonly used by West Jing assassins, stained with the blood of many monks.
