Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty
Vol 2 Chapter 1857: Big search, telegraph relay station is under construction!
"... Sir Qi Shi, and His Royal Highness Wei Wang, his subordinates followed Kangqu all the way to Jining Fang in the west of the city. They did not find anything unusual in him, nor did they see him in contact with anyone on the road. Someone is hiding near his house and watching it secretly, and immediately report it as soon as there is news!"
Taiyuan city, the back hall of the governor's house.
Feng Catou strode in from the outside and hugged Wang Liaoyuan and Li Tai inside.
At this time, only Wang Liaoyuan and Li Tai were left in the house. As for the Dugu Flying Eagle, he took the weapons that were scattered by the assassins in the morning, and went to search for the assassins in the city together with the soldiers from the state camp, and Wang Yu naturally I also have to go back to the Wang Family to make some arrangements. After all, in terms of finding people, especially in the Taiyuan City, the Wang Family's ability and strength will not be weaker than that of the government.
The main reason why Li Tai has not left is because he is waiting for news from the people who followed Kang Qu.
Wang Liaoyuan frowned and asked, "You mean this Kang Qu has a house in Jiningfang?"
"Yes it is!"
Feng Butou replied.
Wang Liaoyuan continued to ask: "Have you found out when he started to do business in Taiyuan City?"
Feng catches his head and clasped his fists. "The subordinates learned that Kang Qu came to Taiyuan city three years ago. He opened a treasure shop in the city that specializes in selling gems and pearls. The business has been good over the years, and he is a man. It can be considered an honest duty. He just married a wife in the local area last year. The wife is the daughter of a squire outside Taiyuan, named Xu Xiuhe. After the two got married, they were also affectionate. No unusual things have happened! "
Wang Liaoyuan condensed his eyebrows in silence, while Li Tai asked aloud: "Have you ever asked this Kang Qu's neighbors, did any stranger find him or send him a letter today?"
Feng Datou nodded and said: "Back to your Highness, my subordinates asked an aunt who sells biscuits in front of Kang's house. She said that in Kang's residence today, apart from Kangqu, there is only one old farmer who delivers vegetables to carry a burden. Dishes have been in, no one else has ever been in or out of Kangfu!"
"The old farmer who delivers vegetables~?"
Li Tai moved in his heart and asked quickly, "What is the origin of this old farmer? Have you checked it out?"
Feng Tau’s “work” on this trip was clearly done, and he replied with a fist. “The subordinates have asked, this old farmer used to be a farmer in Nanhe Village outside the city. He has a son who lives in the city. Moved into the city to live with his son, and basically delivered food to Kang Qu's house every few days, nothing unusual!"
Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but constrict his eyebrows without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, Wang Liaoyuan waved his hand at Feng Catch's head and said, "You have done a good job with this matter, let's go down first! The official and His Royal Highness still need to discuss something!"
"Here~!"
Feng Butou clasped his fists, bowed and retired.
Li Tai raised his head at this time and looked at Wang Liaoyuan and said: "Wang Cishi, this king still thinks this Kang Qu has a big problem, you let people continue to stare at Kang Qu, if you find something abnormal, immediately report to this king!"
Although on the surface, Kang Qu is normal, Li Tai's instinct tells him that this Kang Qu must be concealed secretly!
Wang Liaoyuan has been an official for so many years, and he still has the alertness he should have. He himself felt that Kang Qu seemed to have some problems. Hearing this, he nodded and said: "Okay! The next official will arrange it!"
Li Tai nodded and got up and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to Wang Cishi here. The king has other official duties to be busy, so I will leave first!"
Although Duguxin was assassinated, and although the assassins lurking in the city had not yet been caught, the task of building a telegraph relay station in the academy still had to continue, and even speed up, because Li Tai didn’t know how much resistance he would encounter on the road. Faster, faster, otherwise it is very likely that you will not be able to complete the task within two months!
Wang Liaoyuan moved in his heart and said: "The hidden dangers in the city have not been eliminated. Your Royal Highness had better not walk around in recent days. If your Royal Highness insists on going to Longshan, you must take the Forbidden Army and the Bingzhou Daying Mansion along the way!"
Obviously, Wang Liaoyuan also saw that Li Tai would not "stop" because of the assassin, so he would give a reminder.
Li Tai nodded and said, "Yeah! This king knows! I'll be careful about everything!"
Having said that, Li Tai held up his hands and walked out of the door with his feet up.
……………………………………………
Today's Taiyuan City is destined to not be peaceful.
In fact, in the past two days, Taiyuan City has not been peaceful. Yesterday, both the bright side and the dark side of the Wang family came out, and they were frantically looking for Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan in the city. Yesterday’s Taiyuan city was in full swing; today, the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Bingzhou camp are scattered in every city in Taiyuan In this corner, searching for something from door to door.
After these sergeants entered the homes of the people, without asking anything, they searched the house all over! The homes of those butchers and hunters were the focus of the search. The knives, arrows and other weapons hidden in their homes were all searched out by sergeants from the Binzhou Camp.
Then one of the sergeants took out a drawing from his arms. The drawing was painted with various weapons, and the weapons were also engraved with a specific pattern. The sergeant looked at the weapon found on the ground from the people's house, and at the same time looked at the drawings in his hand, as if he was comparing them.
After the comparison is complete, if there is nothing unusual, the sergeants will withdraw without saying a word; if the weapon found is similar to the weapon pattern on the drawing, the owner of the house will be arrested and sent directly to the governor's house!
There are a total of 56 private squares in Taiyuan City, with a population of more than 400,000. Ten thousand soldiers conduct house-to-house searches. This kind of "project" is no small amount.
This was at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. The military discipline of the Tang army was still very strict. As the most powerful barracks in the north of the Tang Dynasty, Binzhou Camp was naturally very strict. Although the soldiers were searching house-to-house, the process of the search was still very strict. The rule is that the owner of the house first gathers the female relatives in the house before they enter the house to search. Therefore, although the search by the soldiers has caused some inconveniences to the lives of the people, in general, the people in Taiyuan City Most of the people still support the "work" of the soldiers.
Of course, there are always special exceptions in everything. Not all people are willing to cooperate with the soldiers in the search. Some of the big wealthy families in the city are often reluctant to search by the soldiers. After all, they all have great business, just in case the soldiers. We broke something when we went in and searched, and the loss would be great!
Besides, there are many secrets about the rich. If the soldiers of the mansion discovered something shameful about the mansion owner during the search, wouldn't it be a big loss?
Therefore, many masters of high-ranking families heard that the military soldiers came to search, and they couldn’t help but want to instruct Jiadinghuyuan to obstruct them. But today’s search warrants for the whole city are the two states of Binzhou Governor Wang Liaoyuan and Binzhou Daying joining the army. It was jointly issued by the state’s current highest-level military and political chiefs, and the soldiers will execute this search warrant unconditionally!
Those wealthy family Dinghuyuan who wanted to obstruct their search were all knocked down by them. If the owner of the house still did not know how to promote, he was directly arrested and sent along with those who hid suspicious weapons in their homes. To the governor's house.
As a result, for a while, Taiyuan City can be described as a joke.
At the same time, Longshan's side did not seem to be affected by Taiyuan City's side at all.
In accordance with the tasks assigned by Li Tai in the morning, members of the fifth and sixth groups took measurement tools and began to survey the buildings inside and outside the Longshan Tongzi Temple.
The measuring tools they took all came from Yanhuang Academy. At the beginning of this year, the second and third "killer project" of the academy were formally approved. The second "killer project" aimed to improve the telegraph machine and increase the transmission distance of the telegraph. The third "killer project" was mainly to formulate measurement standards. , Manufacturing standard measuring tools!
After nearly half a year of hard work, the academy not only established its own measurement standards committee and formulated unit standards for some new physical quantities, but also produced a number of precision measuring instruments in conjunction with the Qiquge Workshop. These instruments and meters will provide standard references for all similar instruments in the future for proofreading!
The measuring instruments held by these students on Longshan include a straightedge, a large triangular ruler, and even a tape measure. The units of these measuring length instruments are not the "inch", "ruler", and "zhang" commonly used by the people of Datang. , But the new units proposed by the College Metrology Standards Committee based on Li Zexuan's meaning-"millimeter", "centimeter", "decimeter" and "meter"!
Although one centimeter on these rulers for measuring length may not be exactly equal to one centimeter on those modern rulers, it is not important. In ancient times, if you want to carry out precision production, you must measure the ancient units of measurement. For subdivision, the smallest unit of length at this time is an inch (about 3.333 cm), which obviously cannot meet the needs of precision production. Therefore, Li Zexuan not only proposed millimeters, but also proposed smaller units such as micrometers. At present, more precise measuring tools such as vernier calipers are also being manufactured!
"Mr. Mo, we have already measured the inside and outside of the Tongzi Temple. We believe that the height of this side fully meets the requirements for the construction of the telegraph relay station. We can even directly build the telegraph relay station on the second floor of the Tongzi Temple. As a result, we don’t need to build an extra high platform for the telegraph relay station, there will be a lot of time left~!"
Near noon, eight students from the fifth and sixth groups found Mo Chue. One of the students passed the drawing in his hand to Mo Chue and reported it seriously.
Mo Chui reached out and took the drawing and looked at it carefully.
This is when the students just surveyed, according to a certain proportion, the structure of the Tongzi Temple was drawn, and the key areas were marked with dimensions. Those who understand the new engineering drawing method invented by Li Zexuan can basically understand it at a glance!
"Yeah! Very good! Your judgment is not wrong. Taking Longshan plus the height of the first floor of Tongzi Temple, it is completely feasible to build a telegraph relay station on the second floor of the Buddhist temple! But where to place this generator? Pang Sheng, have you thought about it? ?"
After roughly scanning the drawing, Mo Chu nodded with approval, and then he asked again.
Telegraphs need electricity, and telegraph relay stations naturally need electricity, and batteries must not be used. After all, the "battery life" that batteries can provide is limited, so hope can only be placed on small power stations.
The construction of the hydropower station is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so what they brought from the academy this time is a small thermal power station, which is also the first thermal power station to appear in Datang's history!
"Mr. Huimo, about the power station, it must not be placed in the house, otherwise it is easy to walk through the water. We think it should be placed in the backyard to the north of the Tongzi Temple, which is spacious and convenient for military guards, rather than placing it outside the Tongzi Temple. Safety!"
The student named Pang Sheng replied.
"Yeah! You have a comprehensive consideration!"
Hearing the words, Mo Chui nodded and said in appreciation: "In that case, immediately notify the members of the second, third, and fourth groups so that they can start preparing for the construction of the thermal power station! Remember to measure and adjust the voltage at that time, Otherwise, the voltage will be too high and our machine will be burnt easily!"
"Yes!"
Pang Sheng and others nodded as they should, then turned and left.
"Mr. Mo Chui, what's the situation here?"
At this moment, Li Tai also came to Longshan, walked to Mo Chui's side, and asked.
As soon as he came out of the governor's mansion, he didn't even return to the post, so he rushed to Longshan with more than a dozen guards from the Forbidden Army.
Now that Taiyuan City is full of soldiers from the Bingzhou camp, Li Tai is not worried that the assassin will jump out to assassinate him at this time~www.ltnovel.com~ If this is the case, he would have to breathe a sigh of relief because he is around him. Although the number of the forbidden army is small, each of them is a person with high martial arts. Even if the assassin cannot be defeated for a while, they can be held back temporarily. As long as they can be held for a while, the soldiers in the city will definitely rush over. Capture the assassin!
Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Mo Chui was shocked and turned around quickly. After seeing Li Tai, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Pang Sheng and the others have completed the survey, and we all think we can directly build the telegraph relay station. The Zen room on the second floor of the Tongzi Temple. At this moment, I am asking Jia Jiayin and Li Yan to lead people to build a thermal power station in the backyard of the Tongzi Temple!"
Hearing this, Li Tai looked faintly excited and said, "Okay! It's best to build the telegraph relay station directly in the Zen room on the second floor of Tongzi Temple. In this way, we can save a lot of engineering and a lot of time! But! This thermal power station was only a successful initial test in the workshop. Now we want to put it into practical use. I am afraid that some problems will arise in the middle! Let's concentrate on making the thermal power station run smoothly in the past two days! "
"Yeah! Qingque, your worries are not unreasonable! Just as you say! After we adjust the thermal generator this time, it will be much easier next time!"
Mo Chui nodded when he heard the words, then he frowned and asked with a worried expression: "By the way, Qingque, what's the situation with General Dugu now?"
When he, Li Tai, Dugu Feiying and others went to Longshan in the morning, Li Tai and Dugu Feiying were "chased" by the imperial army. Therefore, Mo Chui knew about the news of Duguxin’s assassination, just to avoid causing it. Panic, he did not tell the rest of the students.
