Datang first village

Of the dead, only three people were killed and five were injured.And they are all slaves, the lowest level of hardworking slaves.

In the chaotic world where human life is like a dog, who has never seen a dead person.

In Datang, where the society has been stable for ten years, the people in Yaozhou from top to bottom, including the slaves themselves, don't care if someone dies.

"Isn't there a standard for the heat produced by burning a catty of coal in three breaths? Isn't there a standard for the gas produced by the water burned out and the machinery that is driven by this catty of coal? "Wu Zhao's small bamboo board fell on Ma Yuan's shoulder.

It is already six o'clock in the morning, and Ma Yuan can't sleep.Went to the workshop early!

Not because of the dead, but because his idea seems to be feasible. Increasing the temperature of the furnace and making the output tube smaller can definitely increase the explosive power of the steam engine. Only relying on the air to blow the blades can produce a higher speed than usual More than five times.

Wu Zhao couldn't sleep because of a dead person.

After hearing the enthusiastic voice from the workshop, Wu Zhao couldn't help but came to the workshop again.

I happened to see Ma Yuan renewing the blown up stove, and seemed ready to try again.

"Ma Yuan, you can drink a barrel of wine all by yourself!"

Faced with Wu Zhao's questioning, what did Ma Yuan seem to understand? "Your Royal Highness, you are really clever. If there is a value for each output, then you can make detailed calculations."

"If you really aren't an idiot, I will reward you with something!"

Wu Zhao already had a certain understanding of Datang. If she said what happened to the dead, at most these guys would say that Princess Mingyue is benevolent and it will not be of great effect.

But Wu Zhao told Ma Yuan that you should be more careful, many things can be done in a planned way.

For example, the size and thickness of the furnace body, the size and thickness of the water tank, pipes, etc., are all well documented.Then, Ma Yuan naturally understood that the water tank he made out of his imagination must not be sure after detailed calculations.

The craftsmen of Datang are not academic idiots.

Based on the principle of lever science, the craftsmen of Datang already have a set of very researched and detailed data theory, so in the transmission part, it is not much worse than modern people, the only difference is a state, such as gearbox, clutch This is a superb theory that surpasses the general principle of leverage.

What Wu Zhao gave Ma Yuan.

A thermometer with a maximum temperature of 150 degrees can only be tested.Then there is the principle of the mercury thermometer.

"Ma Yuan, when the water is almost freezing but not yet frozen, it is assumed to be one degree. Then when the water is completely boiling, it is one hundred degrees. Based on this principle, it is a thermometer. Degrees are also divided in this way. How much do you understand?" Wu Zhao talked about common knowledge that most modern people may know.

But zooming in on Tang, some people may understand this knowledge, but it may not be systematic.

"Your Highness, I seem to understand that when water is extremely cold, it will freeze, and when it is boiled, it will become air. Your Highness, the Princess, set a scale for this change, just like wheat sprouts only one inch, and when it is mature, it is one foot and eight inches. In other words, one qian is one qian, ten qian is one tael, and 16 taels is one catty, the same principle applies.”

Ma Yuan has read many books, including books on ancient mathematics.

"That's right, everything has a degree, and temperature is also a degree. Besides, steel plate, elasticity, and hardness, don't you dare to say that this is not a degree? Degrees are rules. Only with rules can there be greater development. You follow it The first steam engine, give you a quarter of an hour, and think for yourself how it is different from the second one!"

After Wu Zhao finished speaking, Chunlan poured a cup of hot milk and gave Ma Yuan a cup of white water.

Ma Yuan sat down cross-legged, thinking really hard.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Wu Zhao asked urgently, "Did you think of anything?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the first steam engine. I remember that each part has very strict dimensions. At the time of production, the handwork was not good, and there was no good lathe. I think the dimensions of many parts are slightly different from the original drawings. Finally, It was barely put together."

Wu Zhao nodded: "Continue, I'm listening!"

"The second one is still the blueprint, which is more detailed. Now that I think about it, it should have less error with the size, so it is better to use. I want to ask Your Highness, is the size calculated in detail? The theoretical argument is What?"

"It's what I said, there is a limit to everything."

Under Wu Zhao's signal, Chunlan brought three thick books, one was compiled by Li Yuanxing, mathematics from junior high school to high school, and one was physics from junior high school to high school.The last one is basic materials science, which includes the properties of steel, iron, copper and other substances.

"In half a year, I will have an exam. One hundred marks are perfect, sixty marks are qualified, seventy marks are good, eighty marks are excellent, and ninety marks are excellent. I will wait and see what classification you will have. , don’t make any new steam engines, you are still far behind, first think about what good things can make farming more labor-saving. Let’s start with the god-given plow, what is the real skill of the plow, if you If you don’t understand, you should be reduced to a fourth-class foreman!”

After Wu Zhao finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, indicating that Ma Yuan could go out.

Ma Yuan knelt down, kowtowed heavily, holding three books in both hands, and retreated respectfully.

He couldn't accept it.

Although Wu Zhao majored in economics, he was still at the level of a master.

In junior high school and high school, he was definitely a top student in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Take the pulley block that Wu Zhao asked Ma Yuan to make. Although he only tried pulling heavy objects on the slope once, Ma Yuan saw the mystery of it.

Originally, he thought that the gearbox was the same, and he was preparing to try to make it.

This club was holding the books that Wu Zhao had given him, and he gave two of them to his followers, and opened the basic physics book to read.This is the rest after Li Yuanxing removed the electrical part.

Looking at it, Ma Yuan slapped his butt hard: "That's right, go and find Old Hei, that Aristotle seems to be from their place! He said that this iron ball is very interesting, the heavy one first It landed on the ground. But it was written later that this was a kind of mistake, although this Laoya is a wise and great sage, there are also times when mistakes are made."

"What a smart man, what a mistake!" Lu Chengqing routinely inspected several important workshops every day, and happened to meet Ma Yuan.

"Lu Mansion!" Ma Yuan saluted, then pointed to the book and said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Mingyue gave the book. It is recorded in the book that hundreds of years ago, there was a place called Greece. It was Lao Hei and the others. There was a big Sage, this great sage is a very smart person. He wrote many books that have been handed down to later generations. There is an example in this book, such as throwing a ten-jin iron ball and a one-jin iron ball at the same time. Excuse me, the great sage said that the ten catties will naturally fall to the ground first, because the ten catties are heavy!"

"It's natural. The words of the great sage are naturally not wrong. What's more, the heavy ones will definitely fall to the ground faster!"

Lu Chengqing is considered a Confucian scholar, he subconsciously believes that great sages can do no wrong.What's more, people think that heavy things fall quickly.

"Lu Manor, the book says that this great sage is wrong. Someone has done an experiment, and they landed together!"

"Impossible, how could the great sage be wrong!" Lu Chengqing retorted loudly.

Although Ma Yuan's status is low, he will not retreat in this matter: "Lu Manor, why not give it a try."

"Try it!" Lu Chengqing also felt a little shaken in his heart.

If the book hadn't come out from Wu Zhao, he might have ordered the book to be thrown into the furnace immediately.

However, there is nothing wrong with giving it a try.

But Wu Zhao yawned in the room: "I need to sleep for a while, nothing important, don't bother me!"

There are no formal orders, just experiments.Lu Chengqing wanted to take a look at the result, because he was not very confident anymore.The theories of the ancients may not be correct, otherwise there would not be such a huge steam engine.

Are there still few ancient books overthrown by the Qin Palace?

Ma Yuan also wanted to try it, but only by trying it himself would he know what it was all about.As the old saying goes, it is better to have no books than to believe in books!

The location of the experiment was on the bell tower of a restaurant.

"Princess Mingyue, Princess Mingyue!" Li Changying rushed into Wu Zhao's room directly.

Wu Zhao, who was woken up, pouted her mouth, and said, "It's a very bad thing to disturb others' sleep!"

"They want to experiment with throwing iron balls!"

"What iron ball to throw?" Wu Zhao asked lazily.

"It's a ten-pound iron ball, and a one-pound iron ball. It's said that the heavier one should hit the ground first!"

Wu Zhao waved his hand: "It's so boring, naturally we landed together. His Royal Highness Qin Wang played this game 18 years ago!" At this point, Wu Zhao sat up abruptly, rolled his big bright eyes, and immediately said: " Although I have played it, it is very interesting, why not go to Princess Changying herself!"

"Go, of course I have to."

"You go first, I change clothes!" Wu Zhao sent Li Changying out, then called Chunlan over and whispered, "Call this guy Shui Siyuan immediately."

What's so fun about throwing an iron ball, the result is naturally certain.

However, Wu Zhao suddenly realized that this was a breakthrough, 1000 years earlier than Europe's breakthrough.This is the skepticism and practice of science. Science requires continuous imagination, skepticism, and practice to make progress.

Shui Siyuan should be recruited, and before coming, he was betting with Liu Erxiao, which iron ball will land first.

"The iron balls must fall on the ground at the same time. I only tell you one thing. Sometimes you think it is correct, but it may not be correct. You immediately go to the whole Yaozhou to spread a theory. Practice is the only way to judge the truth. Then call those literati Let's argue about this theory."

"I don't know much about it, but His Highness will definitely prepare for it after ordering me."

"After you watch the game of throwing the iron ball, you will understand. Remember, practice is the only way to judge the truth. Remember this sentence, and spread this sentence. Especially let this kid Ma Yuan Keep in mind, I am not afraid of his weird ideas, nor afraid of his waste of money, as long as he can do better!"

Shui Siyuan nodded heavily.

"I'll do it!"

Shui Siyuan has already decided to take a look at the iron ball thrower first, and then how much he can realize. (To be continued.)
