I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 716, Dagan Standard

"Uncle Guo, has your lord received a letter?" Cao Ang rushed into Guo Jia's study and asked!

Seeing Cao Ang, Guo Jia said, "My lord has a new idea, and I want Jia to help implement it!"

Then he briefly explained the content of the letter.And highlighted the benefits of doing so to Crab Island.

It's just a pity that Cao An is not interested in such things.He asked in a low voice, "Did your lord tell me about me?"

Seeing the cautious Cao Ang, Guo Jia smiled and said, "You really don't want to take this vacation to go back to Crab Island!"

He understands what Cao Ang means. Compared with Jidu, Crab Island is a backward countryside, and if Cao Ang and the others lived in Crab Island since they were young, they can still endure the life in Crab Island.

But it happened that they lived in the wealthy place of the big man first, and then they were taken to Crab Island. They didn't like the life of Crab Island at all. After coming to Jidu this time, these foreign students quickly adapted to the life of Jidu. He didn't want to leave Jidu just like that.

Cao Ang carefully smiled and said: "Uncle Guo, you also know that our winter vacation is less than a month, and it takes too long to go back and forth to Crab Island, and our group of students intends to stay in Jidu to continue to strengthen As for mechanical studies, if I just leave like this, I’m afraid I’ll be too far behind other students when I come back!”

Guo Jia smiled indifferently, obviously understanding Cao Ang's small thoughts!These are just excuses, after all, people like Chaoyang are too ambitious, and they don't want to leave Jidu at all.

Don't talk about these little guys, even if Guo Jia has stayed in Jidu for a long time, he doesn't want to go back to the desolate Crab Island.

Jidu is very prosperous, you can find all kinds of goods here, and there are many new things, living here is extremely rich in both material life and spiritual life.After living in such a bustling place for a long time, I naturally don't want to go back to other backward places.

Now the people of Jidu proudly say that all the people in the world except Jidu can be called villages and towns.

Although these words are very annoying, but Guo Jia compared his own experience and had to admit that there is some truth in these words.There is indeed no town in the world that can compare to Jidu.

The allure of Jidu is so great, no wonder Cao Ang and the others don't want to go back at all.

Cao Ang continued: "My nephew did not lie to you. Zhuge Liang in our class is very fond of the governor. The governor not only helped him expand Zhuge Liang's sewing machine factory, but also brought him to study some radiator machines. Now it is said It has already succeeded, his academic performance is already higher than ours, if we are taught by the ruling for one more month, we will not be able to keep up with his progress!"

"Zhuge Liang!" During this period, Guo Jia often heard the name. He was a lucky guy. Half a year ago, Dagan launched a campaign to send machinery to the countryside in order to calm prices. The entire machinery factory in Dagan worked in three shifts. There are a lot of agricultural tools, tractors, cloth and other materials for rural use, and the sewing machine developed by Zhuge Liang is also among them. Even the ruling government specially approved 1000 million to Zhuge Liang to expand the factory because the output of the sewing machine factory is too small.

This made Zhuge Liang a fortune. According to statistics in the newspaper, the turnover of this small sewing machine factory exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars in half a year.

You must know that even in Jidu, where new things are constantly emerging, factories that can make such money are extremely rare, which naturally arouses the envy of everyone.

And during this time, with the expansion of sewing machines, more and more people have used them, and everyone’s evaluation of sewing machines is higher. With sewing machines, the efficiency of making clothes can be increased by dozens of times, which is very popular among women in Jidu. And the women in Jidu are one of the wealthiest people in Dagan and even in the world.

They finally had the financial strength to buy a sewing machine for themselves, so sewing machines became so popular in Jidu that it was hard to find one.

Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying and Pu Yuan, who developed the sewing machine, were famous all over Jidu!He even became the most popular among the young people in Jidu!

To be honest, Zhuge Liang’s rising speed even Guo Jia is a little envious of. If it continues at this speed, within a few years, Zhuge Liang’s sewing machine factory may earn more money than the entire Crab Island’s million units. many!

This kind of thing can only happen in the Daqian court, and only Lei Gong can be so generous, allowing an ordinary student to earn so much money, and even help Zhuge Liang grow stronger.

If this happened in the period of the first emperor, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang would have been wiped out by the eunuchs long ago.

Although the first emperor had some talent, he was too greedy for money. He was so greedy that he didn't even let go of the treasury's funds. In terms of structure and bearing, he was far behind Lei Gong.

Guo Jia was most surprised that Cao Ang was still with Lei Gong.So he asked: "During this time, have you been with Dagan in power?"

Cao Ang nodded and said: "Yes, the ruling said that he wanted to get a winter machine that is better than a kang before this winter. What is it called a heating furnace? It is used to burn coal. After the hot water is boiled, it is connected to the floor through pipes. , and then the hot water enters the radiators in the house to bring heat, and these radiators can make the room warm like spring.

One heating furnace in a building is enough to keep a house like spring all year round, and the winter is just like the spring in Jiangnan!The ruling party plans to lead us to renovate the entire school, and we students are the ones doing it, and it can be said that this is the busiest time for our school,"

Guo Jia was surprised and said: "According to this statement, how much coal will be burned, is it possible that the ruling party has begun to be extravagant!"

He wasn't surprised that Lei Gong could warm up the whole house, the imperial court could do it back then, and even had a special hot spring room.

It can be said that the treatment enjoyed by the first emperor is not much worse than that of the current Daqian, but Lei Gong likes to transform the life enjoyed by the nobles and royal families in the past, so that even ordinary people can enjoy it.

It’s just that Guo Jia thinks that such a transformation is a bit too much to be overjoyed. To ensure that more than 3000 students can enjoy the treatment of the former emperor, such expenses may be too big.

Cao Ang gave Guo Jia a disdainful look and said, "Uncle, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. The principle of a heating furnace is to heat hot water and bring heat into the house. Although the cost is not small, it is not too big, especially for a set of system support." The more households there are, the lower the average cost is, even a little more than the heated kang, but the heated kang can only keep the bed warm at most, while the heating stove can keep the temperature in the whole house!"

"This is completely different from Jiuchi Meat Forest. The government also wants us to live more comfortably, and if this system is successfully developed, it will be popularized throughout Dagan. By then, everyone will be able to enjoy a life like spring all year round. , How can this be called a luxury!"

Guo Jia nodded, this is the Lei Gong I am familiar with.

Then Cao Ang said with admiration: "The ruler is planning to take us to do something famous in history, that is, because at such a critical juncture, I don't want to leave Jidu like this!"

Guo Jia smiled curiously: "What kind of famous things will go down in history, let uncle see a thing or two!"

He felt that Cao Ang was talking big. After more than ten years of hard work in the Central Plains, he dared not say that he could leave his name in history, and it was even more difficult for people like Cao Ang who lived in peaceful times!Of course, Cao Ang became the master of Crab Island, maybe it can be recorded in the history of Dagan!

Cao Ang said: "The ruler may plan to formulate various standards for the world's goods starting next year. Starting next year, the length units, volume units, and area units of Daqian will all be replaced with new ones, and the ambition of ruling this time is stronger than that of the first emperor. It must be big! Everything in the world must be established as a unit!"

Guo Jia hesitated and said, "How do we formulate units for all these things?"

Guo Jia now feels that his brain is not enough. Why can he understand what Cao Ang said separately, but he can't understand what they mean when they are combined?

Cao Ang said with a smile: "Just like the temperature of the water, my uncle usually says that the water is cold and the water is hot, but how cold or hot is it? Uncle probably can't say it himself!"

Guo Jia thought about it, it really was like this!

"How does the ruling government plan to formulate the units of cold and heat? Both cold and heat can be accurately expressed."

Cao Ang said: "Using degrees as the unit of heat and cold, like freezing water, it is considered zero degrees, and when the water is boiled, it is set to 100 degrees! The usual cold water is more than ten degrees, even in summer, it is too cold." But twenty degrees, so there are 100 units of measurement from the temperature between ice water and boiling water.

This stability can not only measure the temperature of water, but also the temperature of other objects, such as molten iron and the temperature of the furnace. Only when the standard is established, can the refined steel be more stable! "

"Moreover, water not only has a temperature, but the ruling party has to lead us to formulate the density of all things in the world. The ruling party has already planned to use water as the benchmark for the density of all things. The density of water is set as one, and the density of things that are clearer than water is less than one. The density of water-heavy things is greater than one. This alone is a big project. Now students are starting to collect various items and use them when they start to measure the density.

There are even many students who have used the concept of density in advance, and have also measured the density of many items. For example, the density of iron is about 0.8, the density of soil is about 0.9, and the density of rice is close to [-]. The density of wood is only [-], [-], because the density of wood is smaller than that of water, which determines that wood can float on the water.

There are also wind speed, wind level, etc. Everything must have a standard for us to work hard. It can be said that next year, each of us will be very busy! "

Guo Jia found that he couldn't understand most of what Cao Ang just said, but he felt that it was very grand. Lei Gong's ambition was much higher than that of the first emperor. At least the first emperor didn't expect to set a set of standards for everything in the world. come out!
Guo Jia looked at Cao Ang's proud expression and said with a smile: "It seems that your studies next year will be very exciting, and you will also bring such a heating stove to Uncle's house. You know that Uncle is most afraid of the cold! If If you do well, uncle will go and explain your actions to the lord!"

Cao Ang said pleasantly: "My nephew will help my uncle install the best heating stove!"

Guo Jia was willing to help them explain to their family. Cao Ang immediately told his schoolmates the good news. Cao Ang was not the only one who didn't want to leave Jidu.

In the next few days, Cao Ang really led a group of friends to knock and beat in Guo Jia's mansion. They erected a towering boiler, and they placed the pipes connected to the boiler. Help Guo Jia build some broken bricks and tiles.

And by the way, they also built a bathhouse for Guo Jia in the atom. For them, this is not a big project. They can dig a pool at most, and the heating water cooled by the house can enter this pool, and then they can Take a hot shower.

Guo Jia, who watched it, said it was too extravagant!

"If you want to take a hot bath, you can go to the bathhouse. Why build a bathhouse at home? It's a waste of coal."

But Cao Ang said: "Uncle is considered a big man in Jidu, how can he go to the public bathhouse, look at how good it is now, you can take a bath while sitting at home."

Guo Jia looked helplessly, the children of various families swimming around in the swimming pool, how could they build a bathhouse for him, it was obviously Cao Ang and the others who wanted to build a swimming pool.

However, Guo Jia is very pleased with their actions. Although they have only studied in the University of Mechanical Engineering for more than half a year, their progress can be seen with the naked eye, and they are not as hard-educated as before.

Under Xu Wei's teaching for the past six months, Cao Ang and the others are very capable of doing things. Their current skills of masons and blacksmiths can get the title of a junior blacksmith even if they are graded by Dagan!

So building a bathhouse and assembling a heating furnace is not a problem at all.

After the heater was installed, Guo Jia found that Cao Ang was not exaggerating. Even though the water dripped into ice outside, the inside of the room was still warm as spring. Guo Jia felt that even his old coughing problem was much better when he was in the room!

And in this living room where the seasons are like spring, Guo Jia welcomes the businessman friends he made in Daqian!

As soon as these people came to Guo Jia's room, they found strange things. The temperature inside was too high. If it wasn't for the ice still forming outside, they all thought that spring was coming soon!
"Brother Feng Xiao, how do you make this hall so warm?" the businessman Wu Min asked in surprise.

Guo Jia said calmly: "This is a radiator newly developed by the ruler and his students. It can heat the house. It has not been popularized yet. Only the University of Mechanical Engineering has this kind of thing. Many of my nephews are studying in the University of Mechanical Engineering. You also know it.

They felt sorry for my uncle, who was having a hard time in winter, so they made a set of such devices for us! "

Hearing this, these businessmen were envious for a while, they did not have such filial nephews.
