surnamed Wang

Chapter 56

"Brother Wang, come into my studio and have a look?"

"Go!"

When the black smoke in the house cleared, Wang Gingquan followed Liu Luming to his workshop. The room was not neat, and all kinds of things were placed everywhere. Wang Gingquan looked at it casually. The things were very complicated, including iron, wood, and ceramics. Yes, all kinds.

To his surprise, there are many simple and practical tools in these objects, and the shape is very close to modern tools.For example, a vise is fixed on a table. Although the shape is slightly different from that of a thousand years later, the function is the same.

"Brother Lu Ming, you made all these things?"

"Well, I made them all."

"amazing!"

Wang Gangquan admired it from the bottom of his heart. It is truly remarkable that an ancient man could produce so many practical tools under limited conditions.

"Brother Wang, come here and show you something good!"

Liu Luming greeted from the side, only to see that he was holding a slender bamboo tube in his hand.

"Brother Wang, try looking at the scenery outside through the bamboo tube."

Wang Bingquan took over the bamboo tube. The bamboo tube is composed of two bamboo sections. It can be stretched and used, and it is easy to carry. Both ends of the bamboo tube are inlaid with a piece of transparent crystal. Wang Pingquan immediately understood the use after seeing the shape.

He looked out of the house through the bamboo tube, and the distant scenery seemed to be close at hand and within reach, but the texture of the crystal was not very good, and what he saw was a little blurry.

"Haha, interesting, brother Lu Ming, I admire you more and more, you actually made a telescope."

"Binoculars?" Liu Luming looked puzzled at first, and then slapped his thigh, "Wonderful, Brother Wang, I have never known what to name this thing. The telescope you mentioned just now is the most suitable name for it, and it is easy to understand." , well, we will call it a telescope from now on!"

"It's just brother Lu Ming, there is a problem with this telescope."

"what is the problem?"

"I can't see clearly."

"This..." Liu Luming showed embarrassment at this point, "Brother Wang, to be honest, this is already the best material I can find. I know that there is a kind of colored glaze that is very suitable, but the price is really expensive, and this This kind of colored glaze can only be produced by the imperial court’s colored glaze factory, so it’s really impossible to get it.”

"What if I can get it?"

"Brother Wang is serious? Does Brother Wang have any acquaintances at Liulichang?" Hearing Wang Bingquan's words, Liu Luming immediately brightened his eyes and looked at him expectantly.

Hearing this, Wang Gangquan showed a strange expression, "Familiar, too familiar!" Can you not be familiar, Liulichang was established by him alone, and now he still receives a share of Liulichang every month.

At this time, his admiration for Liu Luming has also reached an extremely high level. Looking at the entire dynasty, Wang Bingquan dared to say that only the glass produced by Liulichang is the most suitable for making telescopes. It seems that the other party's research on materials has also reached a certain level. .

"That's really great. It's so helpful, Brother Wang. It's just that I can't give you much money." Liu Luming's face was a little embarrassed. Although Liu Ge is a first-ranker in the dynasty, his annual salary is only a few hundred taels of silver. , and this person is a bit pedantic and unwilling to accept bribes, so Liu Luming's pocket money is naturally not as rich as other second-generation officials.

"Brother Lu Ming is out. If there is no money, I will give it to you."

"It's so embarrassing, I have to give it." Liu Luming has inherited his father's rigidity.

"Well, I'll find a way to get Liuli, how about you give me a telescope later?"

"Of course!"

The two happily reached an agreement. After this incident, Wang Bingquan and Liu Luming, two people who were at odds with each other before, became friends inexplicably.

Later, Wang Gingquan went to Liu's mansion every now and then, and every time he went there, he would take advantage of Liu Ge's absence. The two of them would always enter the studio cleanly and stay for an afternoon, and then they would come out disheveled.In addition to the tinkling sounds, there were also "hehehe" laughter from time to time in the studio. Those who didn't know thought the two of them were doing something shady inside.

This day when the new emperor ascended the throne, Mr. Liu Ge naturally went to attend the enthronement ceremony, so Wang Gangquan went to the Liu residence familiarly.

"Brother Wang, what are you going to teach me today?"

"Let's learn about friction today."

I saw that a table had been vacated in the studio, and Liu Luming was sitting behind the table and listening attentively.There was a blackboard on one wall. Wang Gingquan stood beside the blackboard, using plaster as a pen, and wrote formulas on the blackboard. Liu Luming listened carefully like a child, and raised his hand to ask questions when he encountered something he didn’t understand.

"Brother Wang, it's amazing that you taught me these things, I've never heard of them before."

"These things I teach you are collectively called physics."

"physics?"

"Physics is the principle of things. Everything in this world has laws to follow. As long as we learn physics and use this law for our own use, we can create many interesting things!"

"Brother Wang is really knowledgeable. If I go to school again, I would have known that I would not be so playful when I was a child, and I would have learned more knowledge."

Wang Gingquan was a little dumbfounded. Until now, Liu Luming thought that this knowledge was in books, but he didn’t know that these seemingly simple theoretical knowledge were the essence of people’s practice for thousands of years, which was not something that can be learned in this era.

"Okay, I have something to do today, so I won't accompany you to do the after-class experiment. Today's class assignment is to make a device that can detect friction. I will check it in class tomorrow."

"Okay, Brother Wang, let's go slowly." Although he said he was a brother, Liu Luming still gave a student salute to Wang Gingquan in a polite manner.

Wang Gangquan left Liu's mansion with a smile unconsciously on his face. It's a pity that this Young Master Liu didn't live in modern times, otherwise he would definitely be a genius in physics.Although Liu Luming's savvy in literature is indeed unflattering, he is indeed a rare genius in physics.Wang Gangquan only needs to say a theory and he can understand it in an instant. Not only can he infer other things from one instance, but he can also make equipment that conforms to this theory. In the past month, Wang Gangquan has taught him a lot of knowledge successively.

Although he only taught for one month, it was enough to complete the plan in Wang Gangquan's mind.

Back in the mansion, Wang Gangquan drafted a document, which was really not in line with his habits.Usually, if there is any need, just go directly to the door of the emperor's study.But today is different from the past. After today, the current emperor has become Wang Bingxian. From now on, every word and deed of Wang Bingquan must conform to the etiquette norms.

Wang Bingquan dug out the ink in his stomach, and pieced together a memorial, intending to go to Wang Bingxian tomorrow morning. He still has confidence in this matter. If the other party disagrees, he still has a jade pendant on his body. It was a favor that Wang Bingxian owed him back then, and now that the other party is the Ninth Five-Year Master, he would definitely not break his promise for such a trivial matter.

Wang Gangquan checked the memorial again and again, and after confirming that it was correct, he put it away and waited for tomorrow.
