Chapter 291 Transformation
Sima Guang has become the Minister of Rites, and he also jumped out this time.
Your Majesty, in recent times, whenever there is a solar eclipse, calendar officials can predict the time of the moon and day and the extent of the eclipse.
Sometimes the sun is obscured by clouds, and sometimes the eclipse is less than predicted, and the officials rush to express their congratulations. I also think this is wrong!
The place where the sun shines is the whole world, and the place where dark clouds cover it is a small area. Therefore, although we can't see it in the capital, it doesn't mean that people everywhere can't see it!
I am a historian, and I know that the record of the solar eclipse in September of the first year of Emperor Yongshi of the Han Dynasty is solid. It is missing from all directions, but can be seen from the capital!
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the capital is not visible from all directions. This is a timely reminder from the celestial phenomena. Please inform the central government in advance to avoid disaster.
Now that the four sides are seeing each other but the capital is missing, this means that everyone in the world knows about the danger, but the imperial court alone does not know about it. This is a big disaster, Your Majesty! (What could it be? Crazy hint...)
The ministers still want to congratulate each other. Isn't this deceiving each other and taking God's warning as a false accusation?
Besides, if the solar eclipse does not meet the predicted score, it means that the calendar officials are not good at counting, so they should be punished instead of celebrating together!
Zhao Zhen was worried about the Sun Dog in his heart. Well, although the solar eclipse was calculated by the calendar officials and could be judged as a continuous score, it was still my Qingtian father who was warning me. Please stop congratulating me on this matter and let it go!
Su You was dumbfounded when he read the Di newspaper. I am so good to Sima Junshi. I know what the solar eclipse is about, but I almost believed you!
If your logical analysis ability is so strong, why should you be a historian? You should be a scientist and astronomer!
But he didn't dare to laugh, because the place where he read the newspaper was in the deputy envoy's hall of the Third Department, and he was humbly accepting the criticism from Mr. Zhao.
"Has the monkey's temper been exposed?" Zhao Pian looked like he hated iron and steel: "You haven't even sat on the chair to warm up, but you first learned how to treat your own in-laws?"
Su You handed over his hand and said seriously and a little shyly: "To promote talents for the country, I dare to avoid relatives and strangers. Besides, I'm... not married..."
The old man quickly turned his head and spat out a mouthful of three bubbles: "Xian? Shi Tong? Which part of the word Xian has something to do with it?"
Su Younan smiled and said: "It's true that the two stoves in Zhou'an are not very good. I thought they have stopped working anyway, so I will change them."
Zhao Peng said: "Then write a report. When the report comes up, I will approve it for you."
Su You refused: "Old man, you are trying to lie to me again. I have been in Sansi for so long. I still don't know the virtues of Sansi?"
"You have a lot of reports from seven or eight years ago that haven't been approved yet, right? If I type up the reports honestly, when the reports come up, not to mention whether you are still in the Third Division or not, even whether you are still there..."
Seeing the old man's eyes widening, Su You quickly shut up.
Zhao Pian drank tea slowly: "Generally, when you dare to be arrogant in front of me, it is when you are fully confident. It seems like this, right?"
Su You stretched out his hand, put the tips of his thumb and index finger together, and said with a smile: "It's really just a piece of cake, there's no technical difficulty at all. Compared with the time when I beat the White Turtle, well, it's just a little bit better."
"Stop making trouble!" Zhao Pian was so heartbroken that his beard was floating: "After the transformation, how much can the output be increased?"
Su You said: "We are not increasing production. We are mainly improving quality this time. It is expected that the iron quality of the transformed blast furnace can reach the level of Meishan Iron."
Zhao Pian thought for a while: "Can't it reach the level of Erlin Iron and Steel? At least it must be at the level of Dali Iron, right?"
Su You put the drawings away, turned around and left.
Zhao Pian scolded: "Oh, you are really arrogant! Stop! How long and how much?"
Su Youzhan turned around and said, "Five thousand strings, half a year."
Zhao Pian waved his hand: "Impossible!"
Su You gritted his teeth: "Those three thousand strings, before you leave office!"
Zhao Pian picked up the jade porcelain tea cup again and blew the foam: "Money is not the least important, so I will allocate five thousand guan to you. What kind of casual official position does Shi Tong have now? Oh, he is now the captain of Zhiguo School.
...Then I'll give someone Quan the task of carrying out official matters, and the time is right, you know..."
Su You was so happy that he turned around and ran away: "The time will be advanced one month for you!"
The indigenous coking kiln looks like a giant centipede, with many fire doors on both sides, and the interior is divided into a combustion chamber and a coking chamber.
In Suyou's design, there are also internal pipes with a certain slope, which serve as both a coke oven and an air preheater.
In addition to the blown wind, there is also the thrust of the hot air rising automatically, forming a huge flow of hot air and pouring into the steelmaking furnace.
The steel-making furnace is also divided into a combustion chamber and a reduction chamber. The iron and coal materials in Bianjing contain sulfur, so the steel-making furnace is an acid furnace.
But it is a pity that acid fireproof bricks are barely available, but there is no way to transport asbestos bricks from the Erlin Department.
Unless Old Man Zhao is willing to allocate another 10,000 yuan.
Even if it costs 10,000 guan, it is still a loss. The Meishan Type II ship is really a bit wasteful and extravagant to transport asbestos.
But Su You didn't know where this thing existed in the Song Dynasty today, so he had to make do with it first.
The exhaust gas from coking is also of great use. When clean water is passed in, ammonia can be produced.
It can also produce coal tar, but for the current Su oil, except for making ink, coal tar really cannot be fractionated in large quantities.
The Shi family was grateful to Su You. Shi Tong now had a real job and was no longer a casual official.
A lot of equipment was manufactured at the Shijia Base in Zhengzhou and transported here via four-wheeled carriages. Shi Tong was responsible for equipment installation guidance, Su You and Su Xiaomei were responsible for creating the budget, and Zhang Zao and Zhang Qi assigned project plans and supervised the progress of the project.
There are only five more people, but with the engineering department composed of these five people, Meishan's speed is reflected.
Su You's first thing was to improve the food for the craftsmen.
Taixue steamed buns are very famous in Bianjing City. When officials inspected Taixue, they once took this stuff, which was actually the steamed buns of later generations, and boasted: "You can nourish a scholar with this, and you are worthy of it!"
Everyone is busy, Su You is leading the two Li family members to make Zhouan steamed buns.
Li Erjia's skill in cooking the stir-fried sauerkraut with wheat sauce made Su You feel quite good. Now that Meishan seasoning and chives are used, the taste is immediately upgraded.
Bianjing people are very particular about their food, and there are a few brands that make offal, all of which are secret recipes passed down from family to family.
Now that Su You is a high-ranking prodigy, he has less worries. If he doesn't harm others and seize power, others should burn the incense.
The wonderful thing about Sichuan cuisine is that it focuses on finding cheap ingredients and then turning them into delicious dishes.
Therefore, the arrival of a top foodie directly raised Zhou An's dietary level from hell to heaven.
The two members of the Li family admired this little official so much that they thought this was not the reincarnation of Wen Quxing, it was simply the reincarnation of the Stove Prince!
The junior official said that for strenuous physical work, one must be given enough salt, and three meals a day must be guaranteed! How can this be justified?
The craftsmen were also frightened, frightened by themselves.
It’s not because I can eat more, but because of my own projects.
Many things use those... parts brought by the big stone in the official's mouth, and the efficiency is amazing.
For example, the hydraulic bellows relies on water power to drive the water wheel, and then uses ingenious components to convert the rotational motion into reciprocating motion. These are things that craftsmen have been doing for a long time.
But after these ancient machines were remodeled and equipped with something called a gear and a thing called a bearing, the master craftsman felt that the wind from the air outlet was so strong that it could blow away the stones.
The official Xiaoguan made it very clear that only at this step can we talk about controlling the amount of oxygen, because it is necessary to create a perfect reduction environment in the furnace to reduce pure iron.
Water power also has great uses. In addition to the previous water wheel that drives the bellows, there is also an extra row connected to the crusher, vibrating screen, and all kinds of weird machines.
The little official said that his ability is nothing. In the final analysis, the three words are fine, fine and pure!
They are all experts. The master craftsman fell to his knees when he saw the meteor gear at the first sight. As an old craftsman for decades, he could tell at a glance that such precision was not something that could be achieved purely by human eyesight.
But now that this thing appears in front of him, then
You must have an instrument, an instrument that is accurate to units smaller than centimeters, to be able to do it!
The junior officials spread their hands helplessly. It's not that I won't teach you. This thing must be mastered by those who have more advanced arithmetic skills than the scholars born in the imperial arithmetic department.
There are such people, but except for the Mingshu doctors from Taixue, the rest are the knowledge of the Jinshi masters who regard mathematics as a hobby and helpful for philosophical thinking.
