The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

After Guo Nuan heard Shengping's suggestion, he sent a large number of servants to the back mountain garden to collect flowers. Since there are many flowers in the garden, there is no need to worry about raw materials.

The petals need to be refined into essential oils. The previous procedures required chopping, pressing, and separation of water and oil. Although oil and water are different in density, essential oils can be separated naturally when floating on the water, but there are many impurities in the petals. , especially the essential oil impurities are full of hydrophilic substances, there is still some water in this essential oil, and the purity is not high enough.

The most terrible thing is that Guo Nuan has been surrounded by a large group of fiery women recently, opening and closing his mouth: "Essential oil, essential oil, old Guo,"

Guo Nuan has to mention the yield. For some plants and petals, if they are distilled in a large distillation tank, the high temperature will make the essential oil mix with some other phytochemicals during cooking, so the aroma of the essential oil will not be pure enough.

At the same time, Guo Nuan was amazed at the large distilling tank that distilled several kilograms of essential oil at a time, and a dozen servants were so busy pushing bundles of firewood into the stove, it was very easy to eat fuel, and billowing black smoke came out at the same time. It is also not conducive to green environmental protection.

"Since distillation can't be done, let's switch to press and centrifugal separation. The refining process is not damaged by high temperature, and it also saves firewood by saving trouble and effort, quack"

Guo Nuan thought to himself of centrifugation, but now it is the Tang Dynasty, where did the large centrifuges, prime movers, and electricity come from? These are all products after the Industrial Revolution.

Guo Nuan was in trouble, he scratched and broke a few hairs, and shut himself in the wing room, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Centrifuge, there is no electricity, where does the power come from? It can't be used to extract essential oils, let my brother make generators casually, and then let's toss the power plant, followed by machine tools for processing parts, electric welding, turbines, centrifugal rotors... ..Hey, this set of large-scale centrifugal machinery involves the cooperation of dozens of heavy industries. How could one person have such ability to directly bring the feudal dynasty of more than 1000 years ago to the modern industrial revolution? It rewrites the modern history of the invasion of the poor and weak Qing Dynasty by Western countries. It’s good to be a little bit obsessed, but I’m just a liberal arts student.”

Guo Nuan was somewhat shaken by the idea of ​​using centrifugal principles to extract essential oils.

"By the way, if we want to convert it into mechanical energy, can we only rely on electricity to drive it? Water power, wind power, cow power, and horsepower are not enough, quack,"

Guo Nuan clapped her hands excitedly, and narcissistically praised herself as a genius.

Horsepower and cattle power are definitely not enough. The power of these animal powers is too small, and the output power is not continuous. The cattle and horses pull and push the mill. After working for 10 minutes, they have to stop and strike. Guo Nuan directly denied using it. Livestock power drives 'centrifuge'

"Quack, it's said that the power of nature is the most powerful," Guo Nuan got inspiration from the mill windmill and the flooding and overturning car.

"Wind power, the wind power in Guanzhong is not very strong. It can only be water power intermittently." Pump, in the current environment where Datang cannot provide electricity, this steam power source with an extremely awkward name is also a very good device.

For the manufacture of high-power motors and prime movers, it involves a lot of heavy industrial infrastructure manufacturing support. Compared with reciprocating steam machines, Guo Nuan feels that the latter may still be led by his own design drawings, and let the blacksmiths of the Tang Dynasty follow the drawings with a hammer Hacked with an axe.

However, because the steam equipment needs coal, it is possible that Guo Nuan has to start a mine for this matter. It took ten or eight years to build the steam engine, and it took another year to open the mine. Guo Nuan didn't want to go to war. The bigger the bigger, the invention of the flying shuttle loom, driven by a steam engine, and the germination of modern technology, this is probably too huge, Guo Nuan just wanted to invent a bottle of perfume oil for women.

"Hydraulic, the most important thing is that the torrents washed down by the waterfall have high enough ground energy. The water energy is converted into mechanical energy, and then drives the centrifugal rotor to rotate, quack, so that the inertia can be used to lift the water and oil from the raw material of the petals."

Guo Nuan was very proud. It is said that he has a half-baked physics knowledge in middle school. Now he has traveled to Datang, which is a great help. So, when he was picking up girls, fighting, and dozing off at school, he said that he watched the teacher perform a one-man show alone on the podium. His eyes were rolling, he was out of breath, and he was impressed by the teacher's dedication. When he was in a good mood, it was still useful to just read a few pages of textbooks.

After figuring out these problems, the next step was much easier. Guo Nuan spent the whole night locked in the room. He used a brush to draw many machine parts on white paper, such as levers, gears, worms, and drive shafts.

Although there are no parts with strict scales, the paintings are still decent. Guo Nuan thinks that with these patterns, he went to the craftsman supervision department in the palace to find a few old master craftsmen to add up. The centrifuge tossed out.

A year ago, Guo Nuan also invented a Guo's sports car-type carriage. He was happy to cooperate with those craftsmen. It is estimated that this is a more difficult invention. These masters will immediately have high blood pressure. For them, the more difficult the invention is , the higher the challenge, the more motivated and motivated they are.

Guo Nuan drove to the palace in a hurry the next day. He first went to the Hanlin Academy and saw Wang Yueyi who hadn't seen him for two days. He said that with the lavender essential oil scar cream provided by Guo Nuan, the effect was obvious.

Guo Nuan gasped in amazement. Those red and purple long scars on Wang Yueyi's face used to look like ferocious centipedes, but now they have turned into smaller earthworms. It is estimated that it will take more than two months to recover. Perfect face.

Wang Yueyi was also very happy with this effect. Guo Nuan casually asked Wang Yueyi to cover her face with a veil during this time. During the healing period, keeping it clean and dry is the most important thing.

After Guo Nuan left the Imperial Academy, he came to the Craftsman Supervisor. In the big courtyard, there was a sound of knocking and knocking. As a workshop for the production of royal utensils, carpentry, and metal products, the objects produced every day were spent on manpower, material resources, and financial support. The top ones, of course, the craftsmen inside are recruited from all over the country, and some even recruit talented people with KitKat skills from foreign countries.

Guo Nuan walked into a large hall where carpenter's tools, hammers, hammers, and hammers were scattered all over the hall, and a blacksmith was forging iron in the furnace next door.

Just when a few white old men were arguing in a circle about a mortise and tenon model airplane, a red-faced old man couldn't help being amused at the sight: "Oh, look, isn't this Xiao Guozi coming?"

It is said that after Guo Nuan cooperated with these master craftsmen to manufacture a new type of carriage last year, he casually drew a few design sketches for these master craftsmen, which were nothing more than propeller planes, trains, cannons and other objects. In addition to being amazed by the sketch, they were even obsessed. In addition to completing the tasks assigned by the palace department, they discussed how to design the sketch model left by Guo Nuan into a real object whenever they had time.

"Xiao Guozi, look, we invented the airplane," an old man in a white coat excitedly blew his white beard up and down.

"Oh, let me see the craftsmanship of the master craftsmen," Guo Nuan led by five or six old men to the next room, where a model airplane was placed on the carpenter's workbench.

It turned out to be a wooden model of a MiG fighter jet, half a meter long, painted with shiny gold and silver powder, this scale model is quite similar to a few dozen.

"Look, this is the movable porthole. There are the pilots you mentioned here, and they are wearing helmets." Guo Nuan was a little speechless. The portholes can still be opened. What’s more exaggerated is that the streamlined triangular wing has a turbojet engine and bombs. It is estimated that it is painted with plant paint, and it is probably a cruise intercontinental missile.

"No, there is a mirror on the opposite side of the puppet seat, and there are small colorful grids," a fat old man said proudly to Guo Nuan, taking away the words of the old man with white beard.

"Ah, that's not a mirror, but a radar oscilloscope, and buttons," Guo Nuan smiled. He found that the details of this airplane model are quite in place, especially the airplane wheels. The tires are made of dried rubber tree glue , You can also retract the landing gear to retract the wheels into the belly of the machine.

"Bang bang," Guo Nuan raised the back of his finger and knocked on the wooden cabin shell of the plane. He asked curiously, "What's inside, it can't be solid wood, right?"

"I'm going to get a screwdriver," an old man in red hurriedly ran to the corner toolbox to rummage through his belongings.

"Screwdrivers... You don't use screws to assemble this plane, do you?" Guo Nuan was completely speechless. He originally thought that they used the ancient carpenter's mortise and tenon assembly technique.

Holding an iron screwdriver in his hand, an old craftsman scratched off some powder paint on the fuselage. Guo Nuan saw a few small round holes, which seemed to be screws.

It took a few minutes for Guo Nuan to spin out a dozen or so screws. Looking at the delicate screws, it seemed that they were ground out bit by bit with a file.

"Crack," when the casing was opened, Guo Nuan had an extremely expressive expression. Inside the belly of the model engine room, the engine, pipelines, mechanical parts, and circuits were all carved out, and they could be disassembled.

"Come on, you can definitely make a centrifuge based on how well you have tossed this model," Guo Nuan smacked his mouth.

"What is a centrifuge?" The old men's eyes lit up all of a sudden, which means that Guo Nuan has brought them another big project, which is very much looking forward to.

"It's nothing, it's just a gadget used to make perfume. I guess it can be made with the ability of the master craftsmen without much effort." Guo Nuan smiled lightly and said it lightly. The days that came down made these old men miserable. They didn't realize how huge a project this so-called gadget for making perfume for women is.
