Li Shimin looked at it quite well at first. Li Ke had told him about this pendulum clock before, but when he looked at it, something was wrong with Li Shimin's expression, especially the sophistry. Li Shimin was amazed when he saw it.
Good guy, can you make excuses like this? If I had known, I would have made such excuses before.
But thinking about it, it doesn't seem right. He used to be a diligent person. If anyone didn't let him go to court or handle state affairs, Li Shimin would suspect that the other party had ulterior motives.
All I can say is, hey, my age is different and my thoughts are different. I am older.
After reading it, Li Shimin shook his head and handed the things in his hand directly to Chang Lin: "Go, give it to Chu Suiliang, I'm done reading it."
"Yes." Chang Lin went out with his things.
When Li Ke came out of the palace, he didn't go anywhere else. He was going to Tanchun Building tonight. The renovation project of Huiyue Building was almost completed, so naturally the stage play that should be launched was also about to be launched.
We have to start selecting actors and such.
When Li Ke was resting in Chang'an City, in the afternoon, in the east industrial zone of Chang'an City, Lu Daqiang and others were quietly looking at a huge monster in front of them. Several blacksmith masters were twisting several large screws with the wrenches in their hands. When the last screw was screwed on, everyone took a deep breath.
"Everyone, how are you? Start it?" Liu Chang looked at Lu Daqiang and asked.
"Let's start!" Lu Daqiang was also a little excited, "This is the first thing that we people have actively developed after learning so much from His Highness. If it is really successful, we may be worthy of His Highness's gift. Although these benefits of ours are actually tips given to us by His Highness."
"Light the fire!" Liu Chang immediately gave the order. A craftsman next to him immediately stuffed the red-hot coal into the opening under the large black device. Shovel after shovel of red-hot coal quickly entered the stove below. In the middle, the worker next to him immediately pushed the large fan below, and a soft cloth channel made of several layers of dense linen was sent into the bottom of the furnace.
With the operation of the blower, a blazing flame immediately burned in the furnace.
After waiting for a while, the device next to him didn't respond yet. Lu Daqiang couldn't help but said: "Why hasn't it responded yet?"
"Master Lu, when we tested before, we had to wait for the water inside to boil. The water should not have boiled yet. For safety's sake, Master Lu, Master Liu, why don't you go outside the observation window next to us? There is a Even if the thick concrete wall explodes, it won't be a big problem." Zhou Li, who was responsible for the assembly, said, "We have tested it before and the force of this thing's explosion is quite powerful."
"In this way, add more carbon, and everyone who can get out can get out." Lu Daqiang thought for a while and said. Anyway, the blower responsible for blowing the air is also behind a thick reinforced concrete wall, with a small space reserved below. hole, which supplies air through a cloth blast channel.
"Yes." Everyone thought for a while and went out.
Standing at the reserved observation port, everyone looked at the big black machine inside with excitement. However, as time passed, there seemed to be no movement inside.
"Did we make a mistake somewhere?" Lu Daqiang took a deep breath and asked.
"Probably not... I think, is our cast iron device too thick? The one we made before was too explosive, and it burst directly in the end. Although it did not cause much harm, this time we will mainly The structural parts have been thickened several times. It should take a while for such thick iron to heat up." Liu Chang thought for a while and asked.
Just as Liu Chang finished speaking, a blacksmith next to him suddenly said loudly: "Look, it's moving!"
Everyone immediately looked through the observation window, and a flywheel driven by a crank arm reserved next to the huge cast iron structure began to rotate slowly.
"Quick! Increase the blast!" Lu Daqiang's eyes lit up.
"Yes, increase the blast!" Another craftsman turned around and ran away, shouting directly as he went to the next room.
Soon the two blower craftsmen in the next room also started to push the blower crazily.
As the flames in the furnace continued to rise, the flywheel next to the cast iron device began to rotate at a terrifying speed. From the back, looking at the several cross arms in the middle of the flywheel, they almost turned into afterimages, even to the naked eye. When they couldn't see it, the crowd gave a loud cheer.
"Great! It worked!"
"Successful! I didn't expect that our idea was correct! This power is too powerful! Sure enough, His Highness is right, the power brought by Gewu is unparalleled!" Lu Daqiang's face turned red with excitement. .
Because the machine in front of him was developed under his leadership, and his source of inspiration was when he was taking a physics class. The teacher in charge of teaching them said that there are many powerful forces in nature. One example he gave was when water boils. , the lid is pushed by the force of water vapor.
Lu Daqiang would never have thought of this in the past, but since craftsmen like them began to study physics and chemistry, their thinking has spread a lot, so when the teacher mentioned this thing, Lu Daqiang risked I had an idea, how powerful is this steam?
His current identity is different from before, and His Highness's unconditional support gave Lu Daqiang enough strength to conduct experiments.
So he asked someone to build a kettle without a pouring spout. Since when boiling water, the lid of the kettle can be pushed open by steam even if the pouring spout continuously sprays steam, then if there is no pouring water Where is the mouth?
After it was built, this brand new kettle not only did not have a pouring spout, but the upper part of the kettle lid was raised in a circle, and then the lid was wrapped around this circle of bulges. Then he used three small Rivets hold the two together.
In this way, the kettle became sealed, and then Lu Daqiang put it on the fire and started to heat it.
The final result shocked Lu Daqiang. In the end, the entire iron pot made a sound like an explosion of fireworks, and then the lid of the pot collapsed directly! Because the lid is made of iron, the iron where the three rivets connect it has been torn.
This huge power shocked Lu Daqiang at the time, and then he went to Liu Chang to discuss with Liu Chang how to fully utilize this power.
Later, because Liu Chang was still in charge of another thing and often stayed in the blacksmith's casting workshop, the two of them stayed there while discussing. Then Lu Daqiang saw the blower.
