The happy life of a prodigal

Page 540

Unlike the student before them, they know that what seems mundane at the moment may work wonders after a while.

For example, what Xu Ze described, as long as anyone who has boiled water, knows that this phenomenon does exist. What is behind this phenomenon is worth thinking about.

They are all people who have read "Fundamental Physics", and they know that the so-called first law of motion and second law of motion discovered by Xin Anhou are also very common things in life.

But Xin Anhou summed up the laws and explained the principles of the world with these ordinary things.

So why isn't this seething power?

Lao Tian, ​​the dean of the Materials Research Institute, pondered for a moment, and said, "In this case, you can recommend a few of your students to me to be more reliable. After all, the road construction was ordered by Marquis Xin'an himself. We should Take it seriously.

You go to study your stuff, I have no objection, but you can't just leave like this. "

When Xu Ze heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he only said one word: "Okay."

Then, walking in front of Zhu'er, she smiled and said, "Okay, now I can concentrate on studying what you said."

Pearl looked at this scene and didn't know what to say for a while.

She almost forgot the purpose of her coming.

It seems that I just want to understand how to use this power?

Seeing that she was a little confused, Xu Ze said, "Little girl, it's really not easy for you to think of these things, so if you have time, come to my research institute to help study this boiling power. I will give you some silver as a reward, what do you think?"

Speaking of this, he smiled wryly, and said helplessly: "The main thing is that I really lack assistants here. Those students all just want to learn how to be a carpenter and how to build a house, but they have never thought about other things.

Thinking of you, there are too few people who can think of so many people just by seeing the water boiling. "

After Zhu'er heard this, she had a thoughtful expression on her face. After struggling for a long time, she still said: "Actually, I don't know much about these things. I really can't go away from Wuxiu Buzhuang. I'm sorry, sir."

Xu Ze smiled helplessly when he heard this, and said: "It's okay, this means that the research has progressed, I will write to you, or you can send someone to ask, it doesn't matter."

Pearl nodded and said nothing.

The two exchanged a few more words.

Pearl took her water jug ​​and left.

Xu Ze stood where he was and began to think carefully.

From his current point of view, this power mainly comes from that heat.

Reading a book some time ago, he knew that if water reaches a certain temperature, it will turn into gas.

However, how does the heat have such power to push open the lid of the pot?

Could it be that water turns into gas after being heated, will the gas expand?

If it will expand, why will it expand?

How can we take advantage of this heat?

If the hot air is directly piped to other places...

Or use the power generated by the top to open and fall, and connect with wooden poles...

Like a hydraulic windmill?

Just turn water power into hot water power?

For a moment, thousands of thoughts appeared in Xu Ze's mind.

Finally, Xu Ze couldn't bear it anymore, looked at the student standing in front of him, and said, "Go and get me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I want to write a letter."

"Yes, sir."

Hearing this, the student hurriedly ran to find paper, ink, brush and inkstone.

............

Fangfu.

Fang Xiu looked at the letter in front of him with a very serious expression.

The writing on this letter was crooked, and it seemed that it must not be written by someone who could read.

Combined with this letter was sent from the Academy of Engineering.

Fang Xiu instantly understood that it must be those gentlemen from the Engineering Academy.

Those guys still have some basics in engineering research, but this word is really not good enough.

But they can indeed give Fang Xiu some surprises.

Like that cement.

According to common sense, cement is so simple that there is no way to make it simpler.

A must-have skill for any traveler!

But Fangxiu is a liberal arts student, he doesn't know anything related to engineering and science.

His understanding of these is still above the physics and chemistry knowledge in middle and high school.

But some knowledge, he has forgotten.

There is no way, no one who has read books for so many years can't remember the knowledge learned in junior high school.

Unless it's something very basic.

After all, the capacity of a person's memory is only so small. After learning these things, those things will be forgotten.

Learn those, these will be forgotten.

However, fortunately, so far, everything is on the right track.

Although Fang Xiu doesn't know it himself, he can ask others to study it.

Such as glass, such as this cement.

Although he doesn't know it himself, he can let others find out.

Therefore, he compiled the two books "Basic Arithmetic" and "Basic Physics", with the purpose of giving those buried science and engineering geniuses a place to display their fists.

It's just that any research, especially these basic research, requires a lot of time.

It may be just a very simple and simple question, and it may trouble scientists for decades, or even hundreds of years.

It is ridiculous to only look at what the predecessors experienced from the perspective of future generations, but it is actually the reason for God's perspective.

Every time he thinks of this, Fang Xiu feels very helpless.

But there is no other way.

It can only be said that he did his best to provide the basic conditions for the emergence of science.

If Chu State still can't get on the right track like this, then he has nothing to do.

Think too far.

Fang Xiu looked at the letter again, and the more he read it, the more solemn his expression became.

Isn't this so-called power of boiling water just steam?

Isn't the most important symbol of the industrial age the steam engine?

And Pearl mentioned in this letter.

After Fang Xiu read this person's description, he actually felt a little wry.

The power of water he mentioned at that time clearly meant that the spinning wheel was driven by water power. It was a very simple mechanical principle, and even Chu State had it a long time ago.

Unexpectedly, Zhuer misunderstood it as water vapor.

However, it was a mistake. Perhaps in future books, Pearl's name will be included among the inventors of the steam engine.

Fang Xiu thought so, and had already made a decision, with a swipe of his pen.

He just voted for this project!

5000 two!

Chapter 822

"Master, there is an official outside."

Just as Fang Xiu replied, he heard a servant talking.

Turning his head to look, the young man said again: "Your Majesty asked, it seems that His Majesty meant that His Majesty wants to see you."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu showed a thoughtful expression on his face. After a while, he waved his hands and said, "Got it, let's go."

"Yes, Master!"

The boy responded, turned and left.

After a while.

Fang Xiu appeared in front of the palace.

Everything was still as he remembered it, but he hadn't been to this place for nearly a month.

The two guards in front of the city gate saw Fang Xiu and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen you, Xin'an."

With this appearance, those who didn't know thought they were not visiting a Marquis, but the emperor.

Fang Xiu waved his hand and signaled, without saying anything, just walked into the palace and walked directly to the Nuan Pavilion.

When the guards and eunuchs along the way saw Fang Xiu, they all bowed and saluted with a respectful attitude, which was still different from before.

However, Fang Xiu seemed to have gotten used to it. After entering the Nuan Pavilion, he stood upright and saluted respectfully: "Minister Fang Xiu... see Your Majesty!"

After not seeing each other for more than a month, Emperor Chu's memory is a bit haggard than Fang Xiu's.

He looked at Fang Xiu with a very complicated expression, and he said after a long time, "You're here."

Fang Xiu responded: "The minister is here."

Emperor Chu said again: "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."

Fang Xiu arched his hands and found a chair to sit down.

It used to be the same as before, but there seemed to be something different.

Chu Huang said: "Do you know why I want to see you?"

The tone of these words is very flat.

Fang Xiu couldn't hear any fluctuations, and thought about the news from the palace that he had seen in the past few days.

He thought for a while, and replied: "I don't know, but I guess it should be for the imperial examination."

Hearing this, Emperor Chu laughed, and said: "Sure enough, you, Marquis of Xin'an, probably know more about the news in the palace than I do."

Fang Xiu arched his hands and said expressionlessly: "I am terrified."

At this moment, he has not concealed too much.

Inside and outside the palace are all people from Fangfu.

They took Fang Xiu's silver and listened to Fang Xiu's order.

Whether it's an eunuch or a pro-military guard.

Whether it is a small imperial guard or the commander of the guards, they all obey Fang Xiu's words.

During this period of time, Emperor Chu should have clearly realized this point, so he hid his anger.

Of course, he has never truly expressed his emotions, even in front of Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu knew this better than anyone else.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu spoke again: "That's right, I asked you to come this time because of the imperial examination.

After the reform of the imperial examination, once a year, there is no need to go to the capital, but only in the main state capitals. In fact, I have nothing to say about this.

but......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Fang Xiu say: "Your Majesty, I believe that the reform of the imperial examination has become a fact, and both the Ministry of Rites and the elders have agreed.

Even the Ministry of Rites and the yamen of various state capitals have already started to do it, so there is nothing to discuss about this issue. "

When Emperor Chu heard this, his expression changed.
