Great Creator

Chapter 345 Telescope (12)

After more than twenty questions, Gu Jing asked faster and faster, and Huang Si answered faster and faster.

Without a breath.

Gu Qian and Gu Yu stood aside with expressions of admiration on their faces.

Their Gu family advocates learning, and they don't usually pay attention to everyone who is knowledgeable.

Both of them thought to themselves, it seems that the father/uncle is thinking of recruiting him!

If Mr. Huang can go to their family.

It will definitely receive the grandest reception!

In the end, Gu Jing was slightly out of breath from the question.

And Huang Si was still the same as before, with no change in expression.

Gu Jing suddenly pulled out from his pocket and took out a piece of bamboo tube.

This bamboo tube is not green in color, but withered yellow. It is specially made and extremely strong.

There are three crystal lenses inlaid inside.

Gu Jing held the bamboo tube in his hand, and his tone was unconsciously full of respect:

"I wonder if Mr. Huang can help me take a look at this object? This is a self-made crystal tube that can see the scenery in the distance."

Huang Si took it, and he held the bamboo tube with three fingers, and said, "Mr. Gu, why don't you name this crystal tube—Telescope, how about it?"

"telescope?"

Gu Jing chewed on the word, and the more he thought about it, the more realistic and fitting it was.

And Gu Qian at the side has already called out:

"Father! What a good name! I also think it's very suitable to be called Telescope!"

Huang Si shook the binoculars.

"It's just that you shouldn't use bamboo for the barrel, but metal. Also, the lens is best made of glass or colorless sapphire. The diopter of the crystal is not suitable. Windshield should be added at the front and rear, and the structure inside should be adjusted like this ..."

As he said, Huang Si pinched it with his fingers, and the bamboo tube had split into three pieces in his hand.

Gu Yu was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "How did it break?"

Gu Jing pressed his nephew's shoulder and said, "It's okay, let him come."

After Huang Si separated the bamboo tube, he picked out the crystal lens inside.

He lifted the crystal lens up and arranged it in a triangle.

"You are now a monocular, but if you add a convex lens here, and a reflector here..."

Huang Si guided the practice of the Valley View Telescope.

After watching Huang Si's demonstration, Gu Jing took the lens and made a few gestures.

After a while, he said excitedly: "That's it! That's it! I, I'll try it when I go back!"

As he said that, he bowed quickly, "Thank you Mr. Huang for your advice! Mr. Huang is indeed a great talent, I am being reckless!"

Huang Si smiled and said:

"You don't have to thank me. It's really amazing that you can invent the telescope yourself."

That night, probably seeing Gu Jing talking to Huang Si, the captain couldn't bear to come to Gu Jing.

"Mr. Gu, what do you think of that man named Huang Si?"

After all, the captain is an old man, and he has seen some clues.

The sailor may not mind, he is the owner, it is impossible not to mind.

The origin of this person named Huang Si is unknown, and he doesn't know what his intentions are when he got on the boat. It would be bad if he did evil.

"Captain, don't worry, I'll take care of it if there's anything to do, and I'll pay for all Mr. Huang's expenses on board."

Gu Jing made up his mind and said so.

The captain was taken aback: "Mr. Gu, have you ever known this man, so you are willing to vouch for him?"

"I don't understand..."

Valley View said.

"Or rather, probably no one can fully understand him." He looked at the ocean outside the cabin, "However, I think that a person like him can't do us any harm... He gives me such a feeling."

The captain's eyes followed him to look outside, and he sighed after a while:

"With this person on board, I don't know what the journey will turn into. I hope it will be a good change..."

"Maybe it's a good sign."

Gu Jing patted the captain on the shoulder and pointed to the table beside him.

On the table, three crystal lenses are glued with wooden strips, arranged in a very special way.

There are also four small flat mirrors on the side.

"Look from behind..."

Gu Jing grabbed the captain's tall body and led him to move his head.

After a while, the captain exclaimed in surprise: "This time I can see it so clearly! And the field of vision is wider than before!"

"Yes. That's why I said, maybe it's a good omen."

Gu Jing laughed.

"Captain, we must be more polite to Mr. Huang in the future."

The captain hurriedly said: "If he has such a talent, it's natural. In fact, when he first boarded the ship, I arranged for him to sleep in a cabin alone, and didn't let him sleep with the sailors."

What the captain didn't say was that it was the smallest cabin on the ship, and it was full of debris. And the reason why he didn't let Huang Si sleep with the sailor was just because he was worried about him.

Gu Jing nodded: "That's very good."

Huang Si sat in his assigned cabin.

Been here for two days.

The place is really small, even if you throw everything out, there is only a little room to lie down and sleep.

Of course he won't sleep here!

He only appears on the ship when he needs to appear.

When he didn't need to appear, he teleported away.

Now, he is looking at Xiao Ke's records, about the current level of technology and culture of the human race.

Today, the human race has fully entered the feudal society.

Although the status of slavery has not been completely eradicated, most farmers are no longer restricted in their personal freedom and have become self-cultivating farmers.

However, the land was still mostly in the hands of the nobility.

Farmers who live better have their own fields, can be self-sufficient, and can sell part of the produce in the fields.

The poor ones have no or very few fields of their own, so they can only work for the landlords and plant their fields.

In addition, all people, whether nobles or farmers, had to pay a production tax.

The percentage of this tax amount varies from place to place.

The state of Jing is now powerful, and coincides with the Ming Lord, so the tax is relatively small, only one-tenth.

Chang State and Song State, these two countries were split from the original old Chang State.

The two countries had to pay heavy taxes for the needs of the war, so Chang State was one-third and Song State was one-half.

It is terrible that the government will take half of the harvest that farmers have worked so hard to save for a year.

But they can't help it, because the government has soldiers.

Today, not only has the economy developed a lot, the social system has improved, and even military technology has improved.

The Terrans learned to make bunkers, and learned to lay stronger bridges and roads, as well as arrow towers, catapults, and so on.

Advanced productivity brings more surplus value, allowing them to draw a large amount of tax, which can afford these consumptions.

And these things are sometimes used in turn to suppress those peasants.

Peasant uprisings are becoming more and more difficult nowadays, unless they encounter troubled times.
