Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 285 Daming's "Edison"

The bicycle became Xin Daming's business card and earned Zhu Kezang a lot of silver dollars.

If you have money and don't do anything, you feel like ants are crawling on your body.

Chengtian Mansion, which sits at the forefront of technology in the world, is sorry for the condition if you don't climb the technology tree.

At night, Zhu Kezang was also going home to rest after a round of inspection by the Dongning General Manufacturing Bureau.

As soon as his front foot left the factory door, there was a loud noise from the south.The sound was very clear in the silence of the night.

Zhu Kezang looked at the reputation and immediately remembered: "Sai Lianmu (a curse word in southern Hokkien), the one that exploded was the laboratory for trial production of nitrocellulose!"

The experimental equipment was basically ready this morning, and he told the gunpowder factory and others about the general process of making nitrocellulose.

And the manufacturing method is still in his TV series "From the Earth to the Moon", which is naturally very rough.

Could it be that the gang of brats in the gunpowder factory started "production" without permission? !
Because the gunpowder factory was too dangerous, it had already moved out of the factory area of ​​the Daming General Manufacturing Bureau, and settled down in an uninhabited lot south of Chengtian Mansion.

Zhu Kezang hurriedly ordered the guards to prepare a carriage, and galloped all the way to the southern suburb of Chengtian Mansion, and stopped beside an open space surrounded by a fence.

He couldn't see the situation clearly in the night, and he was worried that there were still explosives, so he ordered the guards to surround the fence and call for the people inside.

At this moment, a group of guards surrounded them with flintlock guns and shouted: "Idlers, please don't enter!"

Shen Cheng, Zhu Kezang's ace guard, hurriedly shouted the password, and the guards guarding the laboratory rushed forward to salute, and then the craftsmen headed by Huang Luzhuang from the gunpowder factory also rushed over.

Huang Luzhuang is a high-tech talent who was abducted by Ma Hetai when he was pretending to be a businessman in Makassar in the Qing Dynasty!
He is a famous scientist in the early Qing Dynasty.

He is called "Oriental Edison". Someone once said: If he is reused by Kangxi, Chinese craftsmanship will be ahead of the West for a hundred years.

Huang Luzhuang was born in Guangling in 1656. His family was poor since he was a child, and his father died at the age of ten. Although he had a poor background, it was written in the book that he was smart since he was a child and had the ability to remember his photographic memory. It can be said that Huang Luzhuang is a very educated Talented people.

When everyone was racking their brains for a piece of fame, Huang Luzhuang seemed out of place. He even suppressed his talent completely, abandoned the Four or Five Books, and devoted himself to how to make handcrafts, becoming increasingly obsessed.

When he was young, he liked to go to the pier or the streets where craftsmen gathered to see some objects made on the spot, and also liked to read some books about craftsmanship. If he saw science and technology books written by Westerners on the pier, he would definitely Read it well and start to make it step by step according to the pattern.

At only seven years old, he showed an amazing talent. He created a small person who walked independently and attracted everyone's amazement. He suffered from a poor family, and his life could no longer allow him to continue to maintain the continuation of his love.

Suffering from not being able to gain access to more useful knowledge, he went to Yangzhou City when he was ten years old. Yangzhou is prosperous and there are more new things. Some Western objects will be circulated in the market.

Every time he goes to the street, Huang Luzhuang can always find some small objects from the West. While broadening his horizons, he also has a higher level of understanding of handicrafts, and a breakthrough in manufacturing technology has sprouted from handicrafts.

The achievements of the invention are remarkable. The Eastern "Edison" invented the "automatic fan", "self-dispelling heat fan", "testing cooler" and "testing dryness and humidity device" (testing colder, that is, thermometer) and so on.

After having some basic research on craft techniques, Huang Lvzhuang's vision no longer stays in learning, he began to practice. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and it is also a key for Huang Lvzhuang to open a new world.

He began to disassemble the found items one by one, and then reordered, increasing and reducing to create another item.

Like magic, new gadgets appeared one after another under his hands.

According to the "Grand Views of Unofficial History of the Qing Dynasty": Huangluzhuang once made a two-wheeled bicycle, which was eight feet long, could seat one person, and travel eight thousand miles a day. Now that I read it, isn't this the bicycle that is full of streets now?

Therefore, Huang Luzhuang participated in the whole process of manufacturing Xin Daming bicycles.

In the original history, he also studied and dabbled in mechanical manufacturing. He made a machine that can make springs and used it to make machine parts, which greatly reduced the production time and made the craftsmanship more and more sophisticated.

He also used machinery to make a robot dog that can watch the door. As long as someone knocks on the door, the robot dog will bark, just like a real dog barking.

His inventions are not only related to all aspects of life, but also related to the development of the country. With so many things that are only possible in modern times, it is hard to think that they came from the hands of a young man in the Qing Dynasty.

It can only be said that he was born at the wrong time, and excellent inventions cannot be reused.

From today's perspective, many of Huang Luzhuang's inventions can be applied to all aspects of life. However, in the eyes of people at that time, his inventions were a useless display.

The rulers of the Qing Dynasty paid more attention to agriculture and ignorance of the people. These inventions were nothing more than novelties, which could not withstand scrutiny and could not be put on the table.

Some people say, if he was born in the West, would he be able to make a big difference?
If all his inventions are accepted, can China's technology be far ahead of the world and avoid the following series of tragedies?

However, there is no if in this world, and there is no chance to do it again. After all, Huang Luzhuang's life is suffering and poverty coexist. He has never tasted the taste of being understood and reused in his life. His talent is dusty, and only a few words record his legend .

Every inventor is a scientist. They do nothing all their lives and write a dream with love that may not bear fruit. Talent is their touchstone, and persistence is their compulsory course. This is true for Edison and Huang Luzhuang.

But Huang Luzhuang is different in this timeline. He was spotted by Zhu Kezang at a glance. Now his title is the second craftsman of New Daming and the director of Daming Royal Gunpowder Factory.

Seeing that Huang Luzhuang and others were still intact, Zhu Kezang breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "What happened to the loud noise just now?"

Huang Luzhuang said nervously: "Returning to Your Highness, sparks from the sulfuric acid furnace fired by my minister flew to the warehouse where the cotton is stored, and suddenly exploded."

As long as a craftsman reaches the craftsman level and meets the emperor, he can call himself a courtier.

Zhu Kezang asked about the specific situation of the cotton warehouse, and analyzed: "It should be a cotton dust explosion. Has anyone been injured?"

"Returning to Your Highness, only some utensils were damaged, but luckily no one was injured or injured."

Making explosives in the seventeenth century was really dangerous, Zhu Kezang sighed, "Fortunately, nothing happened!"

Huang Luzhuang quickly said: "Your Majesty, as you said, cotton and other things are raised in the air, and they will explode when they meet fire!" "

"It's good to understand. Since I have come, I will give you some advice these days. Otherwise, you will die before the explosives are made."

Zhu Kezang simply cleaned up the scene, and asked Huang Luzhuang and the others to go to rest first, and to study nitrocellulose together tomorrow.
