The group of people walked towards the forging courtyard in a hurry.

The Forging Institute is not far from the county government office. The location in the old city makes it impossible for the Forge to expand.

This is also the reason why Liu Chen took the initiative to split the forging institute and set up various industrial branches. Avoid clutter and have clear division of labor.

These new factories are not located in the old city or the new city, but in another uninhabited land.

Liu Chen will name it: High-tech Development Zone.

The surrounding residents and passers-by stopped to salute after seeing Liu Chen and the many officials behind him.

The eyes of every common people towards Liu Chen are shining with starry admiration!

Liu Chen nodded to them one by one.

Jushou, Tian Feng, Guo Jia and others were also very polite to the people around them, and they were not at all arrogant like those from aristocratic families.

This is one of Liu Chen's requirements. If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. This is one of the year-end assessment standards for officials.

Speaking of sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato and potato planting areas have grown vigorously, and Liu Chen will be able to see their harvest in a short time.

This made Liu Chen full of expectations!

Having no worries about food can make you feel more at ease

"Huh."

Liu Chen's mind was racing, and he happened to pass by the door of a common people's house. An old man was boiling water.

Ever since Liu Chen asked to drink boiled water, every household has been boiling water from time to time, but there is nothing unusual.

Just let Liu Chen was a little surprised that these people used straw and firewood to boil water. This made Liu Chen temporarily paused in confusion.

"Your Highness."

Seeing Liu Chen and his entourage approaching, the old man stood up and saluted excitedly, and said with surprise on his face:"Is there anything I can do for you, folks?"

Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Guo Jia and others behind him also looked at Liu Chen with puzzled faces.

"The elderly do not need multiple cases."

Liu Chen looked at the old man's water-heating props and asked with a puzzled look on his face:"Old man, coal is not expensive, why don't you burn coal?"

"Your Highness, coal is too difficult to burn and is not as convenient as straw and firewood."The old man said clearly.

Liu Chen was a little surprised!

The official in charge of the forging institute immediately stepped forward and explained to Liu Chen:"Your Highness, although we have discovered a coal mine in Changshan, the price has dropped.

"However, without large-scale firing, it would be difficult for ordinary households to make a fire by burning coal, which is far less convenient than straw and firewood.

"Even wealthy families will not buy coal, but choose charcoal, which is more convenient."

Listening to the explanation, Liu Chen suddenly realized!

Liu Chen used the ideas of later generations to apply them to ancient times. Naturally, some methods will not work!

For example, this coal.

But after this incident, Liu Chen actually thought of a coal-burning artifact - — Briquettes and briquette stoves!

"This king is already aware of this matter and will solve this problem after a while. Liu Chen said with a smile and a nod.

"Your Highness really loves the people like a son!"

The old man said with excitement and shock.

Rulers like Liu Chen who love the people have become extinct in the whole Han Dynasty.

Just because of a word from an old man, he is ready to find a way to solve this problem. I wonder if this kind of action is still possible. Who?!

The surrounding people, scholars, and passers-by were all shocked. They all looked at Liu Chen with shock and admiration even more!

Even Guo Jia, Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others had moved expressions on their faces!

Guo Jia’s face With a smile.

With Liu Chen's benevolence and righteousness, even if he kills several Yuan family members, I believe Xun Yu and the others will not care.

As long as the world is in chaos and Yuzhou is in war, when he invites Xun Yu to come, he will definitely succeed.

As long as Xun Yu When you come to Changshan and spend a long time together, you will definitely be impressed by Liu Chen's personality charm!

Everyone has different thoughts.

Liu Chen waved his hand and said:"Old man, don't be polite, this is my job!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Chen asked about the relevant details of the old man's life and what areas needed improvement.

The old man told him everything he knew.

To sum up, he was very satisfied. Life is already very good and happy!

This is not It was just a show, but Liu Chen's surprise inspection, which naturally seemed much more real!

Liu Chen looked satisfied.

Ju Shou, Tian Feng and Guo Jia behind him were even more relaxed. They were Chang Shan's parent officials and the main person in charge.

Neither did Liu Chen Continuing to disturb the people, he took Guo Jia and other officials and left here.

Many people behind him were still watching from a distance, and they all sighed at Liu Chen's benevolence, justice and wisdom!

……

Soon the group arrived at the forging yard.

When we came to the glass production department, we finally saw the"mercury thermometer".

Compared with the exquisite and compact thermometers of later generations, these three"thermometers" that came out in advance seem a bit crude and bulky.

However, this is the first production after all, and the craftsmanship is not yet fully mature. I believe that it will be more perfect once the craftsmanship is proficient.

The earliest thermometer in later generations was invented by Italian scientist Galileo Galilei in 1593.

At that time, thermometers were still glass tubes and glass bubbles, which measured thermal expansion and contraction, and were extremely large.

After a series of modifications over the years, it was not until 1714 that Warren Heit used mercury as a measuring substance.

It can be said... the"mercury thermometer" designed and invented by Liu Chen, although its shape is not as exquisite and compact as that of later generations, it is definitely the first in the world!

The officials quickly brought various kinds of warm water with different temperatures. Each cup of warm water had its temperature monitored manually and written down with numbers.

Liu Chen inserted the world's first"mercury thermometer" into it.

Seeing the beating temperature on the mercury, the surrounding officials were a little shocked!

"It is almost the same as manual visual inspection. This should be... more accurate, right?!"

"Absolutely! After all, there are some errors in manual visual inspection, as well as the influence of ambient temperature!"

"This is an ingenious invention!"

"My Lord is so knowledgeable and talented that we admire him!"

"With this thermometer, it can be of great help whether it is kiln firing, temperature monitoring, or patient treatment!"

"The combination of glass and mercury can be used in such a clever way! My lord is truly a god!"

There were sounds of flattery and flattery again.

Of course, these officials were not flattering, but were really shocked by this"mercury thermometer"!

You must know that temperature monitoring in this era relies on manual labor.

No matter what Whether it is the firing of a kiln or the treatment of patients in the medical field. It is all based on visual inspection and skin contact by workers or doctors.

For example, in the medical field, there is such a body temperature guess.

I can only give a rough range, but it is definitely not Accurate.

But this"mercury thermometer", looking at the thermometer engraved on it, and comparing it with the manually monitored data, it is extremely accurate!

The most important thing is that this is the first"mercury thermometer". All I can say is It is roughly produced and has not yet been perfected and improved.

Over time, after many tests and modifications, it will definitely become more refined and accurate!
