Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"The old man at home is improving, and now basically thinks that this direction is no problem. Although there are some other worries, they are also gradually advancing." Xiangli Ji thought for a while and said, "The biggest problem now is actually the current output. As for the question of how to transfer the essence of heaven and earth to electricity, we, Xiang Lishi, are not very proficient in it, and to be precise, the materials were selected with the help of the Wang family."

In fact, it's not that Xiang Lishi is not proficient in electricity, but he doesn't understand electricity at all. The impression of Xiang Lishi is still in water conservancy, wind power, and animal power. Even if they later saw steam engines and even internal combustion engines, they still have at least one reference object. .

Because regardless of whether it is a steam engine or an internal combustion engine, Xiang Lishi has made something with the same principle. Even if they couldn't make a finished product in the pre-Qin period because of the problem of sealing technology, the panchi lamp, which is called the revolving horse lantern in modern times , are completely consistent in principle.

In essence, these technologies are all about thermal power to create air expansion and make the wheel shaft rotate. Therefore, the reason why Xiang Lishi is not surprised by the steam engine made by Zheng Hun and others is that they understand this thing, but they cannot solve the sealing problem. The problem.

However, Xiangli's family has never encountered the way of playing in Kuaiji Wang's family. If it weren't for the fact that the things made by Wang's family didn't require any external force to move, Xiangli's family would never give Kuaiji Wang's even a copper plate. As far as he is concerned, anything that does not require external force to move is worth studying, and this is the case with electricity.

After the Kuaiji Wang family demonstrated how to make a magnetoelectric power rotation to Xiang Lishi several times, Xiang Lishi quickly developed this thing, and the technology in making magnetic coils was several blocks better than that of the Wang family who did not understand mechanics.

In addition, the technology of these people is actually very complete, only a giant came out to integrate it, and Xiang Lishi is very good at technology integration, so this thing was manufactured smoothly.

However, the problem now is here, Xiang Lishi can explain the technology of the things made by Xiang Lishi before, but this time they made a thing that can't explain the technical principle at all. Anyway, the family who studied this said it was It can move, we can move it after making it, and there is no major problem in terms of technology, but Xiang Lishi also has some headaches now.

Xiangli's older generation is still a little confused now, what, your family studies lightning, but in fact we are using this kind of power now? Your home is so high-end!

After the Kuaiji Wang family took away Xiangli's assets and left, Xiangli hurriedly flipped through the bamboo slips.

It is really a normal family. I was a little surprised when I saw the painting style of the Kuaiji Wang family. In addition, the Xiangli family stayed on the phone for too long, and the time axis was still stuck in the past. When I learned that the Kuaiji Wang family inherited electricity, the first reaction was that they were all friends. Is there anyone out there doing this? Which sage is so fierce!

After all, Xiangli's ancestors always told Xiangli to stay away from thunder and lightning, which is a power that can only be mastered by gods. It can be seen that the Kuaiji Wang's skill is so proficient, the first reaction of Xiangli's older generation is which sage is this Another piece was picked from the hands of the gods. It is really beautiful. We should have tried it if we knew that it could strengthen the machine and build a power machine.

The Xiangli family, or the ontology of the Xiangli family, the Mohists, is one of the most scientific schools, but the Mohists believe in ghosts and gods more than other schools. It is said that Mohism belongs to a class of theories that recognize the existence of ghosts and gods.

But the good thing about the Mohist school is that the Mohism believes in ghosts and gods, but they also spy on ghosts and gods. After thinking that a certain power is controlled by ghosts and gods, they will not stay away like other schools of thought. Instead, they will first see if it is useful. If it is useful, see if it can be used Get it from ghosts and gods.

That's right, the Mohist school is playing with ghosts and gods. They believe that ghosts and gods exist not to avoid ghosts and gods, but to turn those unknown things that are classified into the ranks of ghosts and gods into their own things. The so-called supernatural Skills, that's how uncanny workmanship comes about.

However, I couldn't find it, and there is no record in my own bamboo slips. Compared with other families that may be affected by Qin Shihuang's burning of books, Xiangli's family does not have this problem at all. Shihuang is not Hu Hai's bastard. Those who work and make troubles will burn Xiang Lishi for use.

Therefore, the bamboo slips of Xiangli's family are still very complete, but no branch related to electricity can be found, but the Wang family's look is just like Laozi's family learning, and it doesn't look fake. Xiangli's older generation He can only ask other people for help, and then confirm that it was done by a certain ancestor of the Wang family a hundred years ago. The Xiangli family can only hand over and send someone to find the Wang family again.

The Wang family generously copied a copy of the materials for Xianglishi, but Xianglishi found that he couldn't understand it.

"The Wang family was hired by me to set up Lei Jitai, and I used it to increase food production." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "But there should be quite a few Wang family members, so just ask them to borrow some people."

Regarding Xiangli's problem, Chen Xi can't help it. The Wang family must not understand machinery, and Xiangli's must not understand electricity. These two things have no intersection before, and even if the Wang family has no money to go to Xiangli's. The edge turned the edge, and now the two sides are still parallel lines.

"Are there any other questions? Can this wooden shell be replaced with another one?" Chen Xi pointed to the wooden shell and said, except that he didn't have a person, he could provide everything else he wanted.

"This was suggested by the Wang family. They said that the wooden shell is used to isolate electric shocks. As long as it is dry wood, it is easy to isolate it if the electricity is not too strong. We haven't figured out the electric shock yet, but it's okay if there is an electric shock. Terrible." Xiangli Ji nodded and said.

Chen Xi was a little embarrassed, are you Xiangli people so rough? Don't be afraid of electric shock.

"How much can be produced next year, and how many craftsmen can you train to make this?" Since other things are not a problem, Chen Xi went directly to the topic.

"It's not a problem to produce a few hundred units, but the demand for copper, rollers, and standard parts for upper and lower parts all need to be done next year." Xiang Liji said helplessly.

"We can solve the problem of copper. The problem of rollers and balls can only be relied on you. I will ask the craftsman to contact you for the standard parts. As for the supporting facilities, what do you plan to use?" Chen Xi He took a deep breath and said, "Give me what you want, put aside the popularization issue first, a power machine is at least equivalent to three or five adult laborers!" Produce one and earn one.

"Massification may be a bit of a problem. The elders of our family estimate that there may be an upper limit to the output of this thing. This needs to be calculated and calculated for us. It may require a very large calculation team." Xiang Liji said with some confusion.

"Is Zhao Junqing still alive?" Chen Xi said to Jia Xu inhumanely, Zhao Shuang, the most outstanding calculator in the Han Dynasty, who can be called a biological computer, lent it to you.

"After calculating the structural stress of the southern viaduct project, I am currently resting." Jia Xu nodded and said.

"I'll lend it to you. He still has a group of professional mathematicians under his command. If not, go find the Gan family and the Shi family. They have recently heard that they are blind again and have time to do math." Chen Xi said without moral integrity, It's time for these giants to be pulled out.

As long as the power machine problem can be solved, many problems will no longer be problems, and manpower can be quickly liberated.

But just thinking about popularizing this thing makes Chen Xi feel like he has a big head. Even if everyone sees the benefits of this thing now, the number of professionals is limited to popularize it, let alone before Xiangli Ji. The words already hinted at the difficulty of making part of this thing.

The cost is all nonsense for Chen Xi, not to mention that the material is recycled after the product is finished. As long as there is no problem with the technology, 90% of the cost can be recovered. Some things still need to be polished by hand?

Chen Xi didn't speak, but Xiangli Ji nodded, "Seventy percent, or even eighty percent of things can be made from this thing as a power machine, and then made with a lathe. The bearings, balls, and rotor parts need Polished by hand."

"Ask a question, how can manual grinding ensure consistent accuracy?" Chen Xi asked something that he was very curious about, and he also understood what happened to balls. Even in the 21st century, it is difficult to guarantee a perfect circle.

"The precision is the same?" Xiangli Ji looked at Chen Xi puzzled, "The things cut out by my family are all the same size, there is no concept of different precision."

"I mean, how do you control it?" Chen Xi said with a sigh. He knew that some master craftsmen could cut out qualified products with their own tools. The problem is how to control the precision, which Chen Xi has never understood.

"It's a feeling, just touch it and you'll know." Xiang Liji said as a matter of course, "I can do it, and our family can do it as an adult."

Chen Xi was silent for a while, there was no way to chat today.

"Do you sharpen the balls by hand?" Chen Xi changed the subject.

"That's not true. We cut off the long strips of steel and put them into the hemispherical mold we made, and use a special hydraulic forging machine with a hemisphere to press it down." Xiang Liji said casually, and then he was quite upset. Bitter, "But the next step is the big problem. After this step, removing the burr is already very round in the eyes of normal people, but it is not enough for us."

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Xi said with a twitching corner of his mouth.

If it is not round enough, it is easy to wear and tear, and it will be scrapped in a few days, but if it is round enough, it can be used for half a year. What the hell is round enough? Later generations use fine grinding machines slowly, and then automatically screen with optical instruments. In this era, only hands can be used. This is indeed a fatal operation.

"That is to say, how many of these things you can produce, in fact, mainly depends on how many balls you can produce?" Chen Xi said with a sigh, and he also understood what was going on.

"We are trying to avoid this. We can use other transmission methods without beads, but overall it is somewhat limited." Xiang Liji did not deny this fact, "But it will be resolved sooner or later. If we can't, we can find other transmission methods." people."

"If you have any needs, just come to me at any time. How much power can be produced? If there is not much, I will take it to the textile factory first." Chen Xi said very solemnly, this is an artifact that is truly related to the progress of civilization.

"The finished ones have been sent over, a total of fourteen." Xiangli Ji said flatly.

"How much is one set?" Chen Xi asked casually.

Xiangli Ji was confused and didn't realize what question Chen Xi was asking. Until Chen Xi asked again, Xiangli Ji didn't realize it. Isn't this originally produced for the country? Aren't factories and mines also owned by the state? Does my family collect money in it? Isn't the money allocated every year?

Isn’t it like this when our Xiangli family worked for the Qin State? We produced tens of thousands of crossbows and never received money from Da Qin. Didn’t you allocate the materials? Do we need to collect money? Don't we get salaries and eat public food?

When Xiangli Ji left from the Political Yuan, he was at a loss with the 20 million money ticket. Why should he send money to himself? In the end, Xiangli Ji still didn't understand, and then bought another batch with 20 million money. The copper wire went back to do research on large electric motors.

In Chang'an, Xiangli would never come here if he had nothing to do. It was a mediocre place, and it was not suitable for research. In Xiangli's impression, a good place for research was the wilderness, where no one came, and there were people stationed outside. For a legion, entry and exit must be reviewed, names and identities must be confirmed, and meals are all managed by people.

Well, that's how Daqin treated them back then. Who let them master the technology too fiercely, and now Chen Xi is also thinking about the need to strengthen the scale of Xiangli's guards. It seems that the security that comes with the state-owned factories and mines is a little bit for this family. Not enough.

"It's really powerful." After Xiangli Ji left, Jia Xu said with a long sigh. Relying on his own spiritual talent, Jia Xu clearly saw the huge changes that this thing can bring about. The artifact of the entire civilization.

"Yeah, I didn't even think that Xianglishi could make this kind of thing." Chen Xi said with emotion, "Even if it is still limited by technology, it is quite difficult to popularize and promote, and it may even take nearly a hundred years to fully promote and develop." Come on, but this thing is really headed in the right direction."

Chen Xi has always believed that the direction of the steam engine made by Zheng Hun, Ma Jun and others is right, but there is no way to promote it. Now Xiang Lishi's achievements can really be promoted and popularized. technical route.

"No hurry, we still have time, take your time." Jia Xu looked at the small box that was several feet square, with admiration on his face, this is a real artifact.

"Yeah, this is indeed auspicious, let's record it." During the conversation, Chen Xi knelt down and touched it, trembling, and his hair exploded.
