Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 213 This thing is called a self-ringing bell, and it is a birthday gift specially made for the emperor's grandfather!

Ying Tianfu Hope School.

This session was originally Zhu Yunxi's public class, but Zhu Yunxi didn't talk about anything, but just put a delicate and small kettle on the desk.

In front of dozens of students, Zhu Yunxi lit the small stove, put the teapot on it, and stepped aside to wait.

He didn't open his mouth until the water in the teapot boiled and the lid of the teapot "squeaked" when the water vapor rushed over it.

"That's the main thing today."

"What inspired you when you saw this kettle?"

The students in the audience stared wide-eyed when they heard this, thinking in their hearts that this could inspire something, isn't this just a kettle for boiling water?

Liu Haohong is the most knowledgable person. Hearing Zhu Yunxie's words, he immediately realized that the third grandson was examining everyone's eyesight!
So, he sneaked outside and went to the office to get a bag of tea and a few teacups.

"Teacher, this is the inspiration of the students, do you see it right?"

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi scolded angrily.

"roll!"

"Go back to your seat and continue watching. If you don't see what I'm going to talk about today, just sit here for me!"

Gao Ming, Qin Hengbo, and Yang Xinlu also sat under the stage with their brows furrowed, watching the water vapor in the kettle bubbling out, making the lid of the teapot slap, thinking about the intention of the third grandson.

Among them, Gao Ming and Yang Xinlu were not interested in physics, but just followed suit with a curiosity-seeking mentality.

Therefore, after watching for a while, the two lost interest immediately and began to close their eyes to rest their minds.

Only Qin Hengbo looked at it most seriously, and subconsciously felt that Zhu Yunxi should be teaching some great magic.

But he is serious about his subjects. He has a perfect score in chemistry and a half-level in physics.

After a while, Marbo tentatively raised his hands.

"Teacher, the student took the liberty to guess, I don't know if the guess is right..."

Zhu Yunxi almost got impatient with waiting, so he hurriedly said when he heard this.

"Say!"

"Master, do you want to say that this water vapor, like water flow, is also a force that we can control?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he jumped up excitedly on the spot, grabbed Ma Bo's arm, and patted him on the shoulder.

"It is worthy of being the representative of the physics class of the teacher. This comprehension ability is strong!"

"You're right, that's what being a teacher means!"

"Hydraulic workshops are bound to be affected by water flow, and the difference in water flow between dry and wet seasons is too great. Even with the assistance of dams, it is impossible to continuously provide stable power."

"But water vapor is different. As long as we have enough charcoal, we can use this force anytime and anywhere to drive all the machinery in the workshop to run."

"And this force can also act on other means of transportation, such as sea ships, such as land vehicles..."

In fact, Zhu Yunxi could tell them the answer directly from the very beginning, but in that way, they would lose the ability to think and would only become responders.

Zhu Yunxi had high expectations for these people, but he expected them to liberate productivity for him, realize the industrial revolution in Daming, and realize the four modernizations.

Therefore, I paid extra attention to their cultivation, even if I was beaten by Lao Zhu and couldn't get out of bed, I was still worried that no one would check the homework of these students...

Zhu Yunxi used the kettle as a prop to explain to them the principles of the steam engine for several days.

Then, take out a drawing of a steam engine and ask them to compare and study it.

Although the weapons workshop had been returned to the imperial court, Zhu Yunxi had already reproduced a smaller-scale workshop in the north of the city. While making civilian utensils to sell for money, he also made various parts of steam engines for experiments.

On this day, he had just finished his morning class when he saw Jin Wang Zhu Yan standing at the door, looking at him with a smile on his face.

In fact, Zhu Yan has been here for a while.It was only after seeing his elder nephew so earnestly cultivating his confidantes that he waited quietly outside the door.

When Zhu Yunxi saw Zhu Bian, he hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically.

"Third Uncle, you haven't had lunch yet, why don't you have some in our school."

"Okay!"

Zhu Yan agreed with a smile, and then asked meaningfully.

"Grandpa Yihuang knows about your cultivation of disciples, right?"

"What doorman?"

Before Zhu Yunxi could answer, Gao Ming rushed to answer for him.

"His Royal Highness King Jin speaks carefully!"

"Three emperors and grandchildren only have us three old guys as their followers, and these are just the gentlemen of Hope Academy."

Hearing this, Zhu Yan quickly echoed.

"Yep!"

"Mr. Gao reminded me correctly, it was the king who said something wrong!"

Zhu Fen admits his mistakes, but he is really happy in his heart. He feels that his eldest nephew is promising, and he is already consciously cultivating his team.

Because of this misunderstanding, Zhu Yan saw his eldest nephew more and more pleasing to the eye, not only stayed in the school for lunch, but also accompanied Zhu Yunxi after lunch, so he took a tour of the school.

But before leaving, he ordered someone to bring a box over, and opened it carefully in front of Zhu Yunxie, revealing a black broken stone.

"Nephew, third uncle is going on a long trip tomorrow, and he might not be able to make it back in a month or two."

"This is the birthday gift that Uncle Three specially found for your grandpa. Since I can't come back, I will give this stone to you. You can give it to your grandpa as a gift of filial piety!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the box curiously when he heard the words, and when he saw that it was just a black broken stone, he lost interest immediately.

"Third Uncle, Grandpa Huang finally passed his second birthday, so I'll just give you a stone, isn't that a bit too perfunctory?"

"Furthermore, I have already prepared a birthday gift for Grandpa Huang, which is ten thousand times better than yours!"

Zhu Bian was unhappy when he heard this. He spent a lot of money to buy the sacred stone, but it turned into a broken stone when the grandson said it.

"Do you know the goods, kid?"

"This is my sacred stone. I have absorbed enough sunlight during the day, and at night I can see the word Hongwu on the stone!"

"what!"

If Zhu Yan didn't explain it, Zhu Yunxi would only think it was a meteorite.But when he heard his silly third uncle's explanation, there was only one thought in his mind, that was that the silly third uncle was cheated.

"Third Uncle, how much did you pay for this thing?"

Zhu Yun stretched out three fingers with a painful face, Zhu Yunxi guessed subconsciously.

"Ten taels?"

"It's too dark!"

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Zhu Yan raised his leg and kicked him out.

"three hundred?"

"If you pay three hundred, you don't even have the qualifications to take a look!"

"To tell you the truth, Third Uncle spent a total of 3 taels of silver on this divine stone!"

"Your grandpa must be happy if you send this thing up. Maybe when you're excited, you'll be sealed off as something..."

"Prince?"

"Actually, the king of the county is also very good. As long as the territory is large, it doesn't matter what kind of king..."

Zhu Yunxi agreed with his words, and then said in a panic.

"Third Uncle, you have been cheated!"

"Don't say 3 taels of this kind of broken stone, if you give me 30 taels, I can make several pieces for you!"

When Zhu Yunxi said this, he suddenly realized a problem.

Since this kind of stuff is so valuable, why not make some yourself?
Isn't it just a stone that can emit light, or is it not self-illuminating, but a fluorite that needs to be illuminated by a light source to emit light.

As long as you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, no matter what kind of sacred stone, sacred tree, white deer, or divine tortoise you are, we can imitate them!

Seeing what his elder nephew said, Zhu Yan was furious on the spot, pointing at Zhu Yunxi and cursing.

"Little brat, if you can use 30 taels of silver to create such a fetish, I will call you uncle!"

Zhu Yunxi saw that Zhu was angry, so he hurriedly smiled and went to coax his silly third uncle.

"Third Uncle, don't be angry, this thing of yours is really magical, 3 taels of silver is really cheap!"

"Just now, my nephew was talking big to you. But you should keep these fetishes and dedicate them to Grandpa Huang. I have a better birthday gift, so I don't need this."

When Zhu Yun heard what Zhu Yunxi said, he thought that the child really understood his good intentions.

Little did they know, his actions made his father miserable, and made his father accept a bunch of counterfeit "sacred objects" when he passed his birthday.

"Oh?"

"Where is the birthday gift you prepared, can you let Uncle San take a look for you first, but there is something taboo."

Lao Zhu is very trustworthy and has many taboos.Gao Qi, Gao Ming's elder brother, was executed that year because Gao Qi violated his taboo when writing poems.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's son, Zhu Fen knew his father's temper best, and he was afraid that his elder nephew would be careless in doing things, and he would be upset by some taboos.

Hearing the words, Zhu Yunxi didn't do what he thought, and immediately took Zhu Yan to the clock-making workshop happily, pointing to a grandfather clock as tall as a person and said.

"Third Uncle, this is the birthday gift I prepared for Grandpa Huang!"

It was the first time for Zhu Yan to see such a strange thing. He saw a huge square box divided into upper and lower parts. There was a disc on the upper part. There were three pointers on the disc, but for some reason only one pointer was rotating. But the two seemed to be broken, motionless.

The lower part is a pendulum that swings and clicks and clicks.

"This thing is..."

"Return to Third Uncle, this thing is called a self-sounding bell, and it is a birthday gift I specially made for Grandpa Huang!"

"This thing will make a clanging sound to tell the time every half an hour, but the error is still a bit big, and it will be about half an hour a day!"

Hearing what Zhu Yunxi said was so miraculous, Zhu Wei immediately became interested, walked around the chime clock a few times, and asked the craftsman next to him to demonstrate to him how this thing tells the time, how to display the time, and so on.

After researching and understanding the working principle of this thing, Zhu Yan expressed his sincere admiration.

"This thing is indeed a masterpiece of good fortune, and it is exquisite and elegant."

"If you present this thing, your grandpa will definitely be extremely happy!"

"Since you have a better one, the third uncle will not be polite to you anymore, so he will take the sacred stone back!"

Zhu Yan walked out as he said that, but just as he reached the door, he suddenly realized a problem, that is, the name of this thing seemed to be a bit wrong.

"Nephew, what did you just say this thing is called?"

"The chime bell!"

"A chime?"
