Chapter 296 The Problem of Wind Direction

What Ah Yuan is describing is the most old-fashioned popcorn machine. In the previous life, he squatted in front of the old man for a long time, and those machine parts are clearly in his mind.

Big belly gourd, machine head screw, large elbow, small elbow, machine cover, afterburner rod, afterburner tube, cotter pin and rocker. In addition, in order to be able to stand on the fire, two front and rear brackets are required.

The old-fashioned popcorn machine is actually a pressure vessel. The processing raw materials are generally common grains such as corn, rice, broad beans, and yellow rice. Add some sugar or a few grains of saccharin, put them into the machine, and cover the machine cover.Use the booster rod and the booster tube to work together to rotate the machine head screw to pressurize the machine cover to facilitate sealing.

Then put the popcorn rack on the bracket, heat it with a strong fire below, and turn the popcorn machine by shaking the hand at the same time, so that the raw materials in the machine are evenly heated and softened.

Due to the heat, the pressure inside the machine slowly rises, and when the required pressure is reached, stop heating, twist the popcorn machine to one side, and cover the machine mouth with a sack.Put the booster tube on the small elbow, pull the small elbow hard to loosen the hasp of the big elbow, so that under the action of the internal pressure, the machine cover will open, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the machine together with Processed raw materials are ejected together.During the spraying process, due to the rapid drop of the external pressure, the gas inside the grain expands outward rapidly, thus the grain is burst open.

It is necessary to design a strong mask, and it is not good to injure people during the test.

Then draw a sewing picture of thick cotton five-finger gloves. It should be large, and it can also be used on the stove.

To make the rice balls in memory, it is necessary to boil sugar juice to stick together.Can not be considered for the time being.

Now, Ah Yuan can't hold back anymore and wants to find a blacksmith to make a popcorn machine. In this era, thanks to the founding emperor's blessing, there has long been such a good thing as corn, which is more fragrant than rice flower, and it is even more delicious. Count!

Three or two children are sitting in a movie theater, holding a large container in one hand, and throwing a big fragrant popcorn into their mouths with the other.Keep your eyes on the screen, and your feet can still be pushed on the back of the front seat. If you are lucky, there is no one in front of you, and you can even swing your legs on the seat occasionally, and lean back comfortably. That's an enjoyment.Don't have a general beauty!

Called Manager Xu to come in, arranged for him to find a blacksmith, and specifically asked him to make the protective mask first before trying.

Only then did Guanshi narrate the process of receiving "Mobaozhai". University scholar Han was really generous, or he didn't think of taking away the valuables in the shop at all, and there were a lot of various types of paper left.Even the Dongba paper left six sheets.

"Princess, the location of the shop is good, but the area is too small. There are two rooms, and the shop can't be opened for big business. The paper shop can't be done. The target group is wrong, do you think?"

The old steward who was originally good at playing black belly in the princess mansion.Now, let's talk about doing business.That's a set of things. In fact, the old guy's family is not tight, and people like to use their brains to make money now.

"Let's go around together in the afternoon. Now you go and explain the blueprint clearly. Then, you have to go to Mr. Han's mansion and send - 200 taels of silver. Let's say that we can buy the shop for nothing. Those You have to pay for the paper, otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep well.” Ah Yuan laughed again as he was rushing to deliver the goods to the shop, but he was scratched all over, he had to pay money to feel at ease.

Steward Xu took the order to leave, and the princess was in high spirits, so he didn't have the nerve to say that the general ledger of the princess's mansion was almost exhausted. Zhuyang County's surplus was invested in the brick kiln factory and road paving in Qiyang County. Brick kilns and out-of-season vegetables have changed hands again, but the farms have been left behind, and they can’t kill the chickens to get eggs. The newly designated fields have not yet been formally taken over, and it is impossible to be successful in this season if they take over. At present, there are only cakes The two-wheeled vehicles made by Fanghe Iron and Wood Warehouse are profitable, and the big boats on the Hangzhou Bay side can only eat without vomiting every day, and no matter how much money is thrown into it, there is no sound!

The sale of tricycles is very difficult, so the princess has to figure out a way.

On the way, I ran into an idle moldy old John. Hearing that Manager Xu was going to the iron workshop, he insisted on going to see and see. Anyway, it was within the range of the princess's mansion, so it was not against the rules.

However, the talent of the princess cannot be stolen by foreigners. The blueprints are not shown to John. The blacksmiths are even more stingy, and the parts of the two-wheeler are reluctant to let John move.

The poor man was very angry, and ran directly to A Yuan to complain: "I don't want to learn some crafts secretly, I'm too free, I feel uncomfortable!"

The most spiritual thing is to direct the construction of the skating rink, to be reused and trusted as a hero, and to feel that the air in the princess mansion is fresh.

"Patience, the big ship is almost ready, and it is testing the waters and repairing it. I will come back when Jack and the others set off. I guess, the emperor will trust your sincerity, and your free life will begin!"

Ah Yuan didn't feel pain in his back when he stood and talked, and immediately pointed Old John into the endless waiting.

Facts have proved that men will have a nervous breakdown after being locked up for a long time. Old John began to jump up and down: "Don't dream! People who have never been out at sea don't understand at all. If Jack sets out according to your instructions, he may not be able to walk for a year. Go home!"

"Are you kidding me? We have researched the compass and the north arrow. The big ship is stronger than your original one. Why can't we get there?" I have no conscience!

Old John "hehe" smiled strangely: "You help me find something to pass the time, and help me persuade the emperor to give me freedom earlier, and I will tell you why—"

Isn't that simple?There is so much work to do at home!

Ah Yuan patted the table: "The iron workshop is not suitable for you, not to mention the effort, and it's not safe for sparks to splash. I allow you to be an apprentice in the wood workshop. You can learn as you like, and you can harm wood as you like. When you meet the emperor, you can help me." It’s not bad for you to say a few nice words.”

Old John's eyeballs whirled around a few times, his figure retreated, and when he reached the door, he stepped out with one foot, and then said: "Go back to our place, the wind direction is not right now, the wind on the sea is regular, it blows for half a year, it's best , you can think about it in the second half of the year—"

Is the wind direction wrong?At this time, the shipbuilding technology was limited, and it could only rely on manual oars. If you sailed with the wind and grasped the direction, then there would be no problem.If it is against the wind, a hundred or ten sailors will not be able to row very far if they are exhausted.

The glory of ancient Chinese navigation history depends on the progress of ancient Chinese navigation science and technology.In the "Sea Island Suanjing" of the Tang Dynasty, there were methods for measuring the height and distance of topography and features in the sea, which had a profound impact on the surveying and mapping of subsequent nautical charts.It is said that the first person in the world to use a compass for maritime navigation was the first year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, in 1119 AD. Watch the sun, and watch the compass in the dark."

Now, there is only one name left in the Song Dynasty, which is the same as in history. During the reign of the founding emperor, he also worked hard to instill new scientific knowledge in all walks of life. The current era is still in 1088 AD. The compass The application has been advanced for decades.

In fact, the Song Dynasty at this time not only solved the problem of direction, but also made some innovations in rudder technology, such as opening many holes on the rudder blade to reduce water resistance. Rudder" cargo ship.

In addition, a rotating shaft is used under the mast, which can adjust the angle of the sail to cater to the wind direction. The mast of the most technologically advanced sea ship driven by Old John and his party cannot be moved.

A balanced rudder is used at the stern, and part of the rudder surface is distributed in front of the rudder post to shorten the distance between the rudder pressure center and the rudder shaft, making it easier and more flexible to operate.

There are rows of nail caps exposed on the hull, indicating that the "nailing and tenoning" technology was used in the shipbuilding. Old John's boat was only tied with leather strips and ropes.

It should be said that the construction of the merchant ship this time also took advantage of the status of the princess, so it borrowed a lot of advanced equipment from official ships and warships.

In addition, Ah Yuan once couldn’t sleep at night, and repeatedly recalled how the cabin of "Titanic" leaked and died in battle. He personally operated the compartment design: divide the cabin into several spaces that are not connected to each other. Water leaks are only partially affected and will not sink the entire ship.

After making such full preparations, now you come to tell me that the wind direction is wrong?Ah Yuan raised his eyebrows and stomped his feet violently. Old John knew that he was not feeling well, so he ran away immediately.

This guy did it on purpose!

However, I am too muddled!He just thought about building the boat and Jack and the others leading the way. He didn't think about the wind direction at all.

The monsoon was mentioned in the geography class in junior high school. Because the continent and the ocean heat up and cool differently in a year, the large-scale wind between the continent and the ocean and the wind direction changes regularly with the season is called the monsoon. .The opposite wind direction is prevalent in a large-scale winter and summer seasons that take a year as a cycle.

The days when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming are just right, and the warm and humid southeast monsoon is about to usher in.

Ah Yuan squatted on the ground, grabbed a carbon rod and began to draw a map of the world. Is the wind direction really wrong?

Starting from Hangzhou Bay, the shortest route should be to go southwest, cross the Strait of Malacca, enter the Indian Ocean from the Pacific Ocean, then pass through the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, enter the Mediterranean Sea, and then pass through the Strait of Gibraltar. If you drive north, you can land safely on England Island up.

Those who are short-sighted are going east against the wind!

The nautical career is still blank, and it’s amazing that Old John and the others have drifted to Dasong. What’s more rare is that they didn’t know where they were and where they started from, and now they are still relying on that little nautical experience to make fun of themselves , sister can draw a complete map of the world with her hand, can you?Haven't seen it at all?
