Datang all-rounder

Chapter 271

As soon as he came to the glass workshop in the village, before entering the door, Wang Ke saw a few craftsmen working and looking out of the house frequently. Is the glass made successfully?"

Thinking of this, Wang Ke felt a little excited. As long as the glass is made, it will not be far from the success of the telescope. The most difficult thing now is the problem of the lens. As long as the glass can come out, the polished Things are much simpler, at most, the multiples made at the beginning are smaller, and the distance between the places that can be seen clearly is not too far away.

This can be gradually improved in the days to come. As long as the finished product can be produced, I am not afraid that I will not be able to find a way to improve it to achieve the desired effect in my mind.

Wang Ke couldn't help being excited, and stepped into the workshop three steps at a time. When several craftsmen heard someone coming in, they turned their heads to see that it was Wang Ke. They all dropped the tools in their hands and crowded around Wang Ke. Everyone's face was filled with excitement.

When Wang Ke saw the appearance of several people, he knew that his guess was close to ten, so he quickly pointed to Lapud and asked him to speak.

Now Wang Ke is really afraid that when these people get excited, they all want to interrupt and say a few words. I really don't know who to listen to these people who are talking all over the place. Before speaking, just designate someone to speak, so that the person who speaks in this way can speak in an orderly manner and sound smooth to himself. This is the most comfortable way.

Seeing that Wang Ke asked Lapud to speak, those who were so excited just now closed their mouths that they all wanted to open, focused their eyes on Lapude's face, and waited for him to speak.

Lapud looked excited, and managed to calm himself down a bit, but his voice was still a little trembling when he spoke: "My lord, we have already made the kind of glass you asked for, from now on Look, it fully meets the requirements of the adults..."

After hearing these few words, Wang Ke didn't want to listen to Lapud's nagging anymore, and no matter what he was still talking about, she directly said to the other craftsmen around her: "Hurry up, go get the Bring me the glass and let me have a look!"

A worker obediently ran to get something, Wang Ke turned his head and listened patiently to what Lapud was talking about.

After listening to a few words, Wang Ke could already hear that Lapud was just talking about how much effort they had put into making this glass. However, thanks to Wang Ke for their support, they were able to make To produce such a perfect thing, Lapud just said these words over and over because of excitement, and he didn't stop for so long.

The craftsmen who ran to get the glass came back after a while, holding what they thought was quite good glass in their hands. Wang Ke took it carefully and inspected it carefully against the light. As Pude said, there is really no bubble on this piece of glass, and it looks like the glass Wang Ke saw in his later life.

If there is a difference, that is, the glass produced today is not as big as the later generations, but Wang Ke does not care about this issue. After all, it is all produced by hand at this time. Knowing how many times behind you are, it is not easy to do this. You must know that before I thought of making a telescope, these craftsmen only knew how to make some wine glasses or wine bottles out of clay molds. The things made can't be compared with ceramics or metal utensils, and in Wang Ke's eyes, they are all substandard products.

Although the flat glass does not seem to have any technical content, in fact, flat glass is the most difficult to make among all glass products. First of all, the requirements for flatness are not difficult for ordinary glassware. Secondly, in terms of area, because it requires If the area is large enough, the requirements for the treatment of air bubbles are very high, and the light transmission performance also has strict requirements. These conditions are indispensable, so if you really do it, you will know how difficult it is.

Now that these craftsmen are finally able to make it, how can they not be surprised!Wang Ke's mood was also because the glass was finally made, and she seemed very happy. After praising the craftsmen for a few words, she also promised to let the housekeeper of the village reward them well, which made these craftsmen happy I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

As for the grinding of the lenses, Wang Ke already knew that these workers had a way to do it, so he didn't say much. He ran back to his car and took out the glass knife that he had been carrying with him all this time. Draw a small piece of glass from top to bottom, and then slowly trim it into a circle.

For this, Wang Ke still knows that it is not difficult to draw a square, but it is much more difficult to draw a circle directly. Maybe after a long time, I still can't get a piece. If it is useful, it can only be done slowly and divided into several steps. Even if it costs a little, it is better than not getting a piece of it at all.

Looking at the tools Wang Ke took out, he easily cut the glass into the shape he wanted. Several craftsmen showed shocked expressions. From their point of view, Wang Ke was too incredible. Even the surface of the glass Even without seeing it, you can make a tool for cutting glass. I really don't know where this adult learned it.

After Wang Ke cut two pieces of glass of different sizes in a row, he called these craftsmen, handed over the glass knife to them, and gave them the correct way to use it, so that they could scrap the glass again. Practice on the ground until every craftsman can use it proficiently before letting them cut according to their own requirements. Among them, the two craftsmen who can grind lenses, Wang Ke asked them to start immediately to cut the formed glass. Grinding, Wang Ke stood aside, giving pointers from time to time to avoid unnecessary losses.

Looking at the broken glass left by the craftsmen after cutting, Wang Ke really felt a pity. It was made with great difficulty. It would be a great waste if they were thrown away like this, but there is nothing wrong with keeping it. Yes, for a moment, Wang Ke really felt a little distressed.

Seeing Wang Ke's heartbroken look, Lapud also knew that Wang Ke felt sorry for the waste of doing so, so he walked up to Wang Ke gently and said, "Master, why don't we stop doing this, or let us Let's do it again, don't make such a big piece in the future, use molds to make it, and make it all the size that adults want, so that you can directly grind it, and the waste is not so big, I don't know what adults think how?"

Lapud’s words really reminded Wang Ke that no matter how big the piece is, the lenses must be cut out, and it’s really better to just make them into round pieces, so the waste is less. It also saves time, which is really a good idea.

Anyway, now these craftsmen have mastered the method of removing air bubbles, and there will be no more bubbles on a piece of glass. Even if there are a few pieces of air bubbles, it doesn't matter. They can be returned to the furnace and used, not as it is now , as soon as it was cut off, it fell to the ground, mixed in the soil, and could no longer be used.

Wang Ke kept nodding, and urged Lapud and the others to do it quickly. If they needed something, they would arrange the manpower by themselves, so that they could make it as soon as possible, and also let Comrade Li Er see what the telescope was all about one day earlier.

Lapud, who was about to leave just now, turned back to Wang Ke and asked, "My lord, what should we do with the few pieces of glass that have been made now? Should we put them there or return them to the furnace?"

Wang Ke, who was imagining what Comrade Li Er saw through the telescope, came to his senses and said quickly, "Let's put it aside, let me see what I can make. Hurry up now, tell me what you want, I'll go Find it for you, and there is no need to delay the release time."

Lapud was really anxious when he saw Wang Ke, so he ran into the house and drew a simple sketch, and handed it to Wang Ke, saying: "There is no need for any special preparation, if you can make us a few sets of wooden templates It’s best, if you want to make clay models now, it will be too time-consuming.”

Wang Ke knows this. If you want to make a clay mold well, you must first choose good clay. In order to prevent the clay mold from cracking, you have to put some salt when mixing the clay, and wait for the clay mold to take shape. Finally, it cannot be exposed to the sun, but must be placed in a cool place to let it dry naturally, that is, as the saying goes, it will take too long.

The wooden form is different, as long as it is made, it can be used, and it can be used many times, unlike the clay form, which is disposable and disappears after use. Of course, it is best if it can be made into a set of pottery form, but This time is too late, at least it is too late to use it today.

Wang Ke looked at the sketch, looked up at Lapud and asked, "Can I make a few less? I'll prepare a few sets of Tao Fan for you in a few days."

For Wang Ke's words, the craftsmen of course couldn't wish more. When they were in the Western Regions, they didn't dare to ask for pottery models. In the Western Regions, all pottery comes from the Tang Dynasty, and the price is much higher than After they came to Wangjiazhuangzi, they saw the porcelain placed everywhere in the village every day, and there was a kiln for firing porcelain in the village, which really made them envious.

As for the wooden model, this is already the best mold in their minds. As for Tao fan, they dare not even think about it, but now Wang Ke has offered to prepare several sets of Tao fan for them. Never thought of it.

Wang Ke took the sketches and found the carpenter Yang in the village, and asked him to make a few according to the drawings. Carpenter Yang looked at the drawings, and making these things was just a piece of cake for them, as long as the wood was used better, it would be very fast. It didn't take much effort, a few wooden models were placed in front of Wang Ke, Wang Ke didn't say much, just picked it up and left, after handing it to Lapud, Wang Ke went straight to the porcelain kiln, taking advantage of Seeing that it's okay at this time, Wang Ke has to quickly explain Tao Fan's matter, and it can be done earlier so that Lapud and the others can use it.

When Wang Ke finished all the work and walked slowly back to the glass workshop, he saw that a lens had already been polished. Wang Ke rushed forward, held it in his hand and observed it carefully. It can be seen that The grinding effect is still good, whether it is flatness or light transmission, it can meet the requirements. Now the only thing Wang Ke is not sure about is how far he can see after installing the telescope casing, and whether the clarity can reach his own Ideally.

Just when Wang Ke was seriously inspecting this lens, the other eyepiece had also been polished. Wang Ke picked it up as usual and took a look. He felt that there was nothing wrong, so he said goodbye to several craftsmen and hurried to Li Ke's weapon preparation bureau. And go, what Wang Ke needs now is to find Li Ke, get out the casing of the telescope, put on the lenses and try to see how it works.

In fact, Wang Ke at this time was also uneasy in his heart. The telescopes he had played with in later generations, whether they were civilian or military, were not rare, but this was the first time he had to make it himself. What it will look like when it comes out, Wang Ke is really not sure, if you can see it, there must be no problem, even if it is not far away, it doesn't matter, you can improve it slowly, but if it is not the case , then you will really be blinded, it is not a problem of improvement, but a problem of overthrowing and starting over, that will take a lot of time!
