"But you see, as the saying goes, you can't get to know each other without fighting. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to understand you so well, right?" Li Ke said.
Changsun Chong: "..."
What you said is very good, but the problem is that the two of us seem to have known each other since childhood?
"Let's go, I'm going to stay at the inn." Changsun Chong waved his hand and said. There is naturally an inn in Pingkangfang, which is prepared for the men who hang out in brothels at night.
"I'll come to you if I have anything to do later. I'm easy to talk to. Besides, the conflict between my uncle and I is not that deep. We mostly have political differences." Li Ke said again.
"I know." Changsun Chong didn't say much and just walked away.
When Changsun Chong left, Li Ke smiled, turned and left. There were some things that didn't need to be said explicitly, as long as everyone knew what was going on.
When Li Ke returned to Youjian Mall, Helian Liuli, who had also returned to her room, had already changed her clothes. Although it was late, she was not sleepy yet. His Highness King Qin's words today gave her a big boost. touch.
In other words, His Highness King Qin is the one who knows what they want. They just want to... live an ordinary life.
It seems very simple, but it is not simple. With their appearance, even if they redeem themselves, they will inevitably be harassed by countless people after living outside, but living in this brothel... On the contrary, they can avoid a lot of harassment Harassment.
After all, there is a boss in this brothel, and the increasing number of new people here has also shared a lot of firepower between Helian Liuli and the others.
This world is so weird. Sometimes a place that looks like a pit of fire actually protects you.
Looking at the book "A Chinese Ghost Story" on the table, Helian Liuli hesitated and picked it up.
Opening the book, a line of text came into view: At the end of the Eight Kings Rebellion, during the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period, the Central Plains was devastated and the people were in dire straits. If a country has no foundation, evildoers will arise. There are many monsters and ghosts appearing in various places among the people.
Helian Liuli was a little attracted at the beginning. There were very few novels in the early Tang Dynasty. Even in the original history, the development of novels in the Tang Dynasty had already reached the middle and late Tang Dynasty. After the cost of paper continued to decrease, it began to gradually flourish. .
When the value of paper was high, most scholars used their paper mainly for studying or writing poetry, so it was naturally impossible for them to write novels.
Although Li Ke has brought down the price of paper now, the development of culture takes time to settle.
Even when people in this era write novels, they mostly use history as the theme and add their own creations.
This kind of fantasy novels was still blank in the Tang Dynasty.
But what Helian Liuli didn't know was that she had opened up a whole new world.
Li Ke got up early the next day and rushed outside Chang'an City, because new finished products in the industrial zone had been made. The scale of the industrial zone had expanded a lot, and more and more factories were under construction. Finish.
There are already quite a few factory buildings here in the style of later generations in the 1950s and 1960s. Some large factories are made of reinforced concrete, red bricks and steel frames.
However, some other factories have been re-located in the southwest near Chang'an. A large steel plant is planned to be built here, and subsequent iron-making and other factories will be moved here. The main reason is that some subsequent large-scale castings have already had some progress. Idea, therefore, iron-making and steel-making are not just pure iron-making and steel-making. They will definitely be integrated with forging.
Avoid re-melting steel, secondary waste, etc. In this era, burning coke is still very material-intensive. Fortunately, the waste products of burning coke can also be used to make fuel for the people to survive the winter, otherwise it would all be wasted.
In the industrial area, a brand new factory building stands here. There is also a plaque hanging at the door of the factory: Datang Royal Clock Manufacturing Factory.
That's right, Li Ke came to see the clock today. The pendulum clock he needed has been made. In fact, the pendulum clock is not very difficult. It is nothing more than a clockwork, an escapement and a connected pendulum. Knowing how to make a pendulum clock It is not difficult to make after the principle, not to mention that Li Ke has a complete mechanical structure here.
In fact, the clock was made more than three months ago, but after it was made, these craftsmen have been calculating and testing the length of the pendulum, the impact of the tightness of the spring on timing, and then through the traditional corona and other aspects Make accurate calculations of time.
This calculation process lasted for nearly four months, and now it is finally close to perfection.
It can be said that before the invention of electricity, the mechanical pendulum clock will be the most accurate timepiece. Even after the invention of electricity, the pendulum clock will become the most accurate timepiece. At most, the spring will provide force to the pendulum. Become a pendulum powered by electricity.
It is not as accurate as future electronic clocks and atomic clocks, but for this era, it is already an advanced timing machine. The most important thing is that it can accurately set the time to the second.
Precise timing has a very important impact on industrial activities, which means the scale and flow of many productions.
When Li Ke entered the factory, he immediately heard the crisp and unique "ticking" sound.
Listening to this familiar voice, to be honest, at this moment, Li Ke had the urge to burst into tears. Without this unique experience, it is difficult to feel the impulse brought by the sound of the clock turning. This is also the case. A major sign of civilization and progress is the rational use of time.
"Your Highness, Li Fu, has met." A craftsman about forty years old came over and saluted Li Ke.
"Excuse me, are you in charge of the watch factory now?" Li Ke looked at him and asked.
"Your Highness, I'm ashamed that we still spent so long after Your Highness gave us the production drawings and principles." Li Fu said with some shame.
Li Ke looked at him with some emotion. Li Fu and Li Ke knew about this, so he should be chosen to take charge of this matter. He was jointly recommended by Liu Chang and Lu Daqiang. Li Fu was born in the common people, but his ancestors can indeed be said to be. It is a family of craftsmen, and there are records in the family that nine generations of people have been craftsmen.
Mainly carpenters and blacksmiths. Although the status of craftsmen in the past dynasties seems not to be high, they still have some income from following some wealthy families. Therefore, Li Fu has been literate since he was a child, but he did not read much.
But Li Fu is very smart. Because of the influence of his family, he has been good at research since he was a child. He is very good at carpentry and casting, especially some wooden structures.
This is also the reason why Liu Chang and Lu Daqiang recommended him.
