(Two in one chapter)
"Chief, why did you ask someone to bring you the glass piece?"
When Mo Lingwei saw the box of glass tablets that Song Xiaosi brought, she couldn't help but be very curious, so she asked aloud.
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Miss Mo, this glass piece is used to place the objects to be observed. Think about it, the sunlight shines up from below. If the objects to be observed are placed in other containers, how can the light pass through? past?"
Mo Lingwei nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes! What the mountain leader said makes sense! So what does the mountain leader plan to use this microscope to see today?"
"Look at the water! Look at what's in the water we usually drink~!"
Li Zexuan said with a smile, then turned around and ordered: "Xiaosi, go bring me a bowl of clear river water!"
Bacteria in river water are generally about 5 microns in diameter. The microscope built by Mo Lingwei has a magnification of 400 times, which means it can magnify bacteria to about 2 millimeters, and the human eye can see things as small as 0.2 millimeters. , so with this microscope, you can completely see the bacteria in the river water!
What's more, in addition to bacteria, there are also some parasites in the river water. These things are much bigger than bacteria!
"Yes, Master~!"
Song Xiaosi responded, followed the order and left.
But he was a little confused in his heart, looking at the water? What’s so beautiful about water? It’s refreshing and cool. What could be in it?
Although he thought so in his heart, Song Xiaosi still walked to the canteen of the workshop.
Nowadays, there are thousands of permanent "employees" in the new workshop. Of course, there is a "staff canteen". The workers in the canteen will carry water from the Bahe River every morning and transfer the water to the canteen. The tank is full, so Song Xiaosi doesn't have to run to the river, he only needs to come here to get water!
"Oh, Fourth Brother, why are you here?"
As soon as Song Xiaosi walked into the courtyard where the dining hall was located, a boy from the courtyard came over to greet him with a flattering smile on his face.
Although Song Xiaosi is just a servant in the workshop, servants are also divided into levels. Song Xiaosi serves Uncle Fu every day and can often meet with Li Zexuan. How can this be compared to ordinary servants?
"Ahem! I'm just here to drink a bowl of water. Tycoon, go ahead and do your business!"
Song Xiaosi understood that what kind of microscope Li Zexuan and Mo Lingwei had set up should not be known to outsiders yet. After following Uncle Fu for so long, he still had a strong sense of confidentiality, so he made up a random reason and planned to go in. Get water.
It just so happens that he feels a little thirsty right now!
The young man named Tycoon heard this and said hurriedly: "Hey, fourth brother, you wait here, I will boil water for you~!"
Song Xiaosi quickly grabbed the tycoon and said: "No need! I like to drink cold drinks! I said you kid, go and do your work, don't delay things, otherwise Chef Yu will have to talk to you again~! "
"Oh! Then fourth brother, I'm going to get busy~!"
After hearing this, the tycoon had no choice but to go back and continue washing vegetables.
Song Xiaosi went to the kitchen, took a porcelain bowl, scooped out a bowl of water in the water tank, first poured a bowl into his stomach, then scooped out another bowl of water, and said to himself: "Oh, it's really hot today. No, I have to ask for another bowl of water to take away!"
After saying that, he saw him walking out of the courtyard calmly.
The tycoon in the courtyard looked at the sun in the sky and asked doubtfully: "Is it hot today? Isn't it hot? Why does fourth brother feel hot?"
............................
"Master! Master! The water is here~!"
After a while, Song Xiaosi left and returned. He returned to Mo Lingwei's laboratory with a bowl of water.
Li Zexuan took the water and walked to the table. He asked Mo Lingwei for a pair of white gloves. He used a latex dropper to drop the water in the bowl on the glass slide, and then used tweezers to pinch the cover. The slide was covered.
By the way, the laboratories here now generally have some basic tools, such as gloves, tweezers, droppers, test tubes, etc. In terms of facilities, it can be regarded as the most advanced laboratory in the entire Datang. But in modern times, I am afraid that Not even a high school chemistry lab!
Li Zexuan placed the slide carrying river water on the stage of the microscope, adjusted the position, and fixed it with clips.
"Haha! Fortunately it's a sunny day today!"
At this time, Mo Lingwei smiled sweetly, handed Song Xiaosi a mirror, and then ordered: "Xiaosi, take this fairy mirror, stand behind the door, let the sun shine in, and make it shine on this side. On the mirror, you know?”
As she spoke, she pointed to a mirror on the table and said.
"Yeah! Xiaosi understands~!"
Song Xiaosi responded and walked to the door with the mirror.
After a while, a beam of sunlight shone into the room. Song Xiaosi carefully adjusted the angle to reflect the sunlight on the mirror that Mo Lingwei pointed to earlier.
"Okay! Xiaosi, just stand still!"
Mo Lingwei shouted, then squatted down and began to fiddle with several mirrors on the table, mainly adjusting the angles of the mirrors so that the sunlight could finally shine on the reflector under the microscope.
"Okay! That's it!"
Li Zexuan's left eye had been in front of the eyepiece. At this time, he saw a bright light in his field of vision. He said something quickly, and then started to twist the screw next to the microscope with his right hand to adjust the distance between the objective lens and the slide.
Gradually, the blurry light in the field of vision became clearer and clearer, until finally, various shapes appeared in the field of vision, and some black spots were still swimming. Li Zexuan was extremely happy, and he quickly said: " Okay, okay! You can see things in the river! Miss Mo, come and take a look~!"
"Wow! Really? Really? Let me see!"
After hearing this, Mo Lingwei came to the microscope in a hurry. She put her eyes close to it, and sure enough, she saw many black spots swimming in the light. Some of the swimming black spots were relatively large. It looked like wriggling maggots, which really startled Mo Lingwei.
"Chief Shan, what are those things? Where did they come from?"
Mo Lingwei left the microscope and asked Li Zexuan.
"Haha! Of course it comes from the water! You saw it just now, there was just a drop of water on the glass piece that Xiaosi sent over!"
Li Zexuan said with a smile.
"Comes from water? Doesn't that mean that there are many tiny bugs in the water we usually drink~?"
When Mo Lingwei heard this, her face turned green. Fortunately, he didn't eat in the morning, otherwise he would have to spit out his breakfast!
"Sister Wei'er, what little bug is that? Lan'er wants to see it too!"
Lan'er listened for a long time and became interested. She quickly took Mo Lingwei's arm and said eagerly.
Mo Lingwei glanced at the little girl sympathetically and asked, "Lan'er, do you really want to see it?"
"I want to see it! Of course I want to see it!"
Lan'er nodded without hesitation.
"Hey! Okay! Then sister will take you to see it!"
Mo Lingwei laughed maliciously, then moved a stool and said: "Lan'er! Come! Stand on it!"
The stage on which the microscope is placed is relatively high, and Lan'er cannot reach it due to her height.
Li Zexuan saw all this, but he did not stop him. At this time, he took a stand from the side, then walked outside the house and said to Song Xiaosi: "Let me hold this mirror! Xiaosi, Go to Yunshan Mountain and see if Daozhang Sun, Dr. Wang, and Dr. Qin are there. If they are here, invite them here and tell them that the workshop has created an artifact that can see even the smallest things!"
Song Xiaosi responded quickly: "Yes! Young Master! Xiaosi will go now!"
Li Zexuan took the mirror and placed it on the stand. Then he slightly adjusted the angle of the mirror. Mo Lingwei over there said: "That's it! Chief Shan!"
Li Zexuan nodded and was about to go in, but found that Song Xiaosi hadn't left yet. He couldn't help but ask: "Xiaosi, are you okay?"
Song Xiaosi scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, Master, Professor Cai Mo said just now that there are bugs in the river water, but when Xiaosi just brought it over, he clearly saw that there was nothing in the water?"
In fact, he was quite panicked now because he had just drank a bowl of cold water half a quarter of an hour ago!
Li Zexuan said with some humor: "Those little bugs can't be seen with the eyes. You can only see them with the microscope inside. What? Xiaosi, you want to see them too~?"
When testing the telegraph machine last year, Song Xiaosi ran errands back and forth and suffered from heat stroke in the end. Li Zexuan still had a good impression of this guy.
"Uh-huh!"
Song Xiaosi looked directly inside and subconsciously responded when he heard the words. Then he reacted and waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no! This is something newly made by the young master and Professor Mo. Xiaosi is just a How can a servant be qualified to watch this? Master, Xiaosi is going to Yunshan right now~!"
"stop!"
Li Zexuan grabbed Song Xiaosi and frowned: "What are you talking about, a servant or a master? If you are told to go and see it, go and see it! Go in, it's not too late to go to Yunshan after watching it~!"
After that, he walked in.
Lan'er inside had already used a microscope to see the river water on the slide. The little girl's face was pale, and she was squatting aside and retching!
"Wow! Lan'er drank water in the morning, but there are bugs in Lan'er's stomach! Woohoo~!"
Mo Lingwei watched from the side and laughed. It was a gloating smile: "Haha! Lan'er, you just wanted to see it yourself! No wonder sister!"
Li Zexuan ignored the two girls and said to Song Xiaosi: "See for yourself! If you point your eyes at the cylinder above, you can see clearly what is in the river water!"
"Yes! Thank you, Master!"
Song Xiaosi followed the instructions and put his eyes above the eyepiece of the microscope. Suddenly, a very "wonderful" picture appeared in front of him, with small black dots swimming in it and small black lines wriggling. This picture was simply too beautiful, so beautiful that he didn’t dare to look down any further!
"Young...Master! What are those moving black dots and black lines?"
Song Xiaosi took two steps back, looked at Li Zexuan with fear, and asked.
"Hmm! This is a bug, but it's not a bug either. You go and invite Taoist Master Sun over first. I'll talk about it later!"
Li Zexuan did not explain immediately, otherwise he would have to explain it again after Sun Simiao and the others arrived.
"……oh oh!"
Song Xiaosi responded in a panic, and then ran out.
About two-quarters of an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Sun Simiao's laughter: "Haha! Xiaoxuan has finally made what he promised Pindao. Today Pindao is here to open his eyes!"
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Simiao came in with Hu Jingran, Dr. Wang, Dr. Qin and others.
Before Li Zexuan could say hello, Sun Simiao's eyes had already locked on the microscope on the table. He asked excitedly: "Xiao Xuan, this is the kind of tool that you told Pindao about that can see tiny things clearly." ?”
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and replied: "That's right! I call it a microscope. I just used it to observe the river water. Daozhang Sun, you can go and have a look!"
"Microscope? That's a good name!"
Sun Simiao praised, and then said impatiently: "Xiao Xuan, could you please teach me how to use this microscope~!"
"No problem~!"
Li Zexuan responded with a smile, and followed Sun Simiao to the microscope. Under his step-by-step guidance, Sun Simiao finally saw clearly the world in that drop of water through the microscope's eyepiece!
"This! This! Is this really just a drop of water? How can there be so many life forms in this water?"
Sun Simiao has traveled all over the country in his life, what has he not seen? And he had already passed the age of fussing, but after seeing the world in the water droplets clearly, he finally couldn't help but take two steps back and exclaimed.
"Daozhang Sun, this is indeed a drop of water. Here, it is the drop of water taken from that bowl~!"
Li Zexuan pointed to the bowl of water next to the table and said.
Sun Simiao turned around and looked even more incredible: "Why is the river so clear, but when you look at it with a microscope, you can see so many lives in it?"
"I'll come and take a look too!"
Dr. Wang and Dr. Qin could no longer suppress their curiosity at this moment. They rushed to the microscope and put their eyes next to the eyepiece. After reading it, they both looked surprised.
"Shan Chief, what are those black spots and lines in the water? Why do they look like living creatures?"
Dr. Qin stroked his beard and asked in a deep voice.
Everyone looked over, including Song Xiaosi, who looked pale.
Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said: "Dr. Qin, although the river water looks clear, it contains a lot of things, including dead things and living things. The most living things among them are called bacteria. These bacteria are very small. , how small is it? Let’s put it this way, do you think our hair is fine?”
Dr. Wang nodded and said: "Of course the hair is very fine!"
Li Zexuan continued with a smile: "But the diameter of this kind of bacteria is less than one-tenth of the diameter of a human hair. Do you think we can see such a small thing with the naked eye? Of course, apart from bacteria, There is also a bigger thing, I call it a parasite. Once it enters the human body, it will live in the human body and be difficult to digest and excrete! Certain parasites can make people sick or even die!"
When Sun Simiao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many living things in a drop of water. There is a saying in Buddhism: One flower and one world, one leaf and one bodhi. Now it seems that it is really true!"
"Uh~!"
Song Xiaosi next to him rolled his eyes and fainted gorgeously~!
