I am the king of the dead

In fact, the isochronism of pendulum is also a kind of simple harmonic motion.

"How will it be made?" Xu Siqi asked with some doubts after remembering His Majesty's request.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly realized that he couldn't say exactly what to make.

Just roll the reed, and Li Binyan will sail around the world for a month.

I'm afraid there will be a staged, Li Binyan's ocean voyage during the Jingtai period.

"You just press the reed and send it here." Zhu Qiyu also tried, he was not sure if he could make a balance with hairspring.

If the hairspring balance wheel can be successfully manufactured, it can replace the pendulum of the pendulum clock, and can get rid of the influence of the earth's gravity on accurate timing.

Of course, well-made and well-adjusted pendulum clocks still have their irreplaceability.

However, the pendulum clock is greatly affected by the gravity of the earth. The pendulum clock sent to Nanya needs to be adjusted. The gravity of the earth is not the same everywhere on the surface of the earth.

In order not to let Li Binyan get lost in Dayang, Zhu Qiyu had to do something.

Xu Siqi understood that His Majesty only needs the reed, and what he wants to do, His Majesty can roll it himself.

The major official factories, mainly Shijing Factory, have only two declarations this year, one is Song Youer's safety production, and the other is Liu Laoqi's spring steel.

The Military Bureau did not apply this year, because the hydraulic screw press has been enough for them to study for a long time.

Before Xu Siqi left, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Tianming Festival is coming soon, and your Majesty is not celebrating the Longevity Day. This congratulatory gift, I thought, gave it in advance, and it can be regarded as an annual gift."

His Majesty cares about these unmade people, cares about lowly craftsmen, and makes them by himself many times.

Naturally, Xu Siqi wanted to represent the workers and send an annual gift to ensure that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty would still have their holy families.

He took out a one-foot-high lamp and said, "Your Majesty, this is for Your Majesty's lighting."

"Here is the leather, you can pull it to refuel, fifty strokes, then light oil can be sprayed out, light the blowtorch, spray it on this asbestos place, it will be as bright as day!"

"Demonstrate."

Xu Siqi took it a little farther away, poured in a kind of yellow-brown oil, started to inflate it, and then turned the valve, the flint rubbed against the scythe, ignited the crane-shaped mouth and sprayed oil and gas, and the flame hit the asbestos.

Xu Siqi kept turning the valve, and the asbestos became brighter and brighter.

Zhu Qiyu covered his eyes, and it was indeed as bright as day, which made his eyes hurt.

Zhu Qiyu signaled Xu Siqi to stop, and asked in surprise, "How did you make it?"

Xu Siqi said with a smile: "Isn't this dealing with fire?"

"When I was in Shijingchang, I discovered that asbestos is flame-resistant and bright. The bigger the fire, the brighter it is. I thought about this method."

Zhu Qiyu's interest has greatly increased, this is obviously another figure!

He asked suspiciously: "Can it be dismantled?"

Xu Siqi took the whole lamp apart and said: "The lamp cover is silver-plated, and this lamp is used on a high place, so the silver-plated lamp cover can gather light, so that it can illuminate the whole place. The house is gone."

"It's castor bean wrapped in asbestos, and the hotter the fire, the brighter it gets."

"This is a valve. A copper bead is ground to drill a hole. Turning it can control the amount of oil and gas."

"The last is this oil lamp pot. It's all copper and silver plated."

Zhu Qiyu clapped his hands vigorously and said, "Okay, let's see the reward!"

Chapter 461 Ande Guangsha has thousands of rooms, sheltering the world's poor and happy

"What is this lamp burning?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously.

Xu Siqi frowned and said: "Lamp oil, light oil after boiling kerosene."

Zhu Qiyu is very concerned about Daming Fuel.

His first big action to kill Queen Ji Li was silver coins, and his second action was Shijingchang Guanchang Coal Wells Division.

Oil is undoubtedly an extremely important part of energy, and the use of oil by the Central Plains Dynasty has lasted forever.

Menghuo oil is a kind of dark brown heavy oil condensed after simple processing of petroleum.

The earliest record of the use of oil in the Central Plains Dynasty should be in the Han Shu written by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There is oil that can be burned on water in Weishui, Gaonu County, Shangjun.

It is Yanchang County in Yan'an Prefecture. This place is the only source of fierce oil from the Central Plains Dynasty.

Until the New Era, it was the only place where oil was produced.

Li Daoyuan, a geographer in the Northern Wei Dynasty, made a special description of oil in the Notes on Water Classics. This kind of water fuel was named Shiqi.

In the Tang Dynasty, the light oil processed by stone lacquer began to be used for lighting.

In the Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo corrected the name of Shiqi and changed it to oil in "Mengxi Bi Tan", saying: "There is oil in the territory of Yan and Yan, which looks like pure lacquer. It burns like hemp, but the smoke is very thick. , The veil is very dark, and this thing will be popular in the world in the future."

Petroleum will inevitably become popular in the world and become the main fuel in the future. This was Shen Kuo's opinion when he was in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the Yuan Dynasty, an oil well was dug in the Nanying River of Yanchang County, and 110 catties of kerosene was received at the age of [-].

There is another well in Yongping Village, [-] miles northwest of Yanchuan County, with an annual yield of [-] jin, which enters the Yanfeng warehouse on the road.

In the Jingtai period, the same was true. The tribute of Yanchang County was about [-] catties of fierce fire oil and light oil a year.

Based on Zhu Qiyu's understanding of Daming, the processing of oil in Daming is mainly heating distillation and layered condensation.

There are four types of finished products, asphalt, flooded oil, heavy oil, and light oil.

Asphalt is mainly used for waterproofing and paving roads, while oil flooding is mainly used to treat mange of livestock. It is said: "Pick up clear water and take it. Although the smell is smelly, it can treat mange of camels, horses, sheep and cattle."

Heavy oil is used in the fierce fire oil tank, which is a sharp weapon invented in the Northern Song Dynasty. Once the enemy attacked near the city gate, the fierce fire oil tank on the city gate would burn the ladder and other objects.

The first generation of fire-breathing guns could not be extinguished by splashing water, and the dragon banner of King Jili was half-drawn by the fierce fire oil.

Light oil, the lamp oil in Zhu Qiyu's hands now, had already been used for lighting in Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu asked full of doubts: "How about the output?"

Petroleum is an important reliance on the economic and military hegemony of US imperialism. It is an energy source, and it has always been said to be black gold.

"The power of the poor people in Yanchang County is only [-] catties a year." Xu Siqi said with a embarrassed expression: "This is very rare, and it can only be regarded as a tribute."

"I see." Zhu Qiyu was very concerned about Daming's energy, so he naturally knew that what Xu Siqi said was not a lie.

Even the oil wells in Yan'an County, Yan'an Prefecture, actually produced very low oil wells, and have always been rated as having no exploitation value.

Eight hundred catties is 0.4 tons.

In the 31st year of Guangxu, the Yanchang Oilfield only broke through the 81-meter sinking well, and the Yanchang Oilfield was considered valuable, with an annual output of [-] tons.

At the same time, Drake, located in Tytosville, Pennsylvania, USA, dug wells for salt and discovered oil.

The output reached 27 tons in the second year, and [-] tons in the third year.

Drake packed the oil in beer barrels, and what didn't fit went straight into the river.

That was in 1859.

At this time, the light oil that Daming can produce in a year can only keep Zhu Qiyu's kerosene lamp on.

The process of oil extraction and distillation is not complicated. Light oil is used as kerosene, heavy oil is used as fuel for flamethrowers, and asphalt is used for waterproof paving, all of which were used in Daming.

However, Daming has no oil.

Xu Siqi and others left Juxian Pavilion, Yu Qian went to talk about the martial arts hall, and Hu Wei went to sort out the matter of next year's imperial examination by province and Jinshi.

Zhu Qiyu sat in the conference room, leaning on the bench, without saying a word.

The change of energy has a huge impact on the development of human civilization, and the replacement of energy has a profound impact on the rise and fall of great powers.

Firewood, rice, oil and salt, the word firewood.

The Central Plains Dynasty was tireless in their pursuit of fuel, energy, and light. There is a legend that Qin Shihuang killed sharks, and there is an eternal lamp in the Lishan Mausoleum.

On New Year's Eve, there is a custom called Shou Sui, that is, every household lights a lamp. Once it is lit, it cannot be blown out until the oil is exhausted and the lamp dries up.

During the Wanli period, because of the distribution of coal, the kiln people in Xishan even went to the Chaotian Tower in West Chang'anmen to ask the Emperor Wanli to stop the distribution bureau at Lugouqiao, because the emperor's distribution would intensify, and the distribution would be ten times or a hundred times To these kiln dwellers. (Ming Shenzong Veritable Records Volume 331)

This kind of keeping the old age is also the pursuit of light, the desire for energy, and the competition for interests.

It was getting late, Xing'an introduced the light oil lamp into the lamp socket, pushed the leather for more than fifty times, turned the valve, hit the flint, and the lamp began to light up.

Xing'an waited for less than a quarter of an hour. According to Xu Siqi's introduction, this is called warming up.

He turned the fire door again, and the flame of lamp oil turned from yellow to bluish white, hitting the asbestos, emitting a dazzling white light.

Xing'an held a lamp glass cover and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this thing is quite convenient. There is a slot under the lamp cover, which can be covered with glass, even if it is outside."

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the back of the chair and said, "Turn it up a little bit."

There are tens of thousands of Ande Guangsha, sheltering the world with joy.

The current light oil lamp only lights up his own small part of Juxian Pavilion, and it will definitely be able to illuminate every household in Daming in the future.

The blowtorch of the light oil lamp sprayed oil and gas and was ignited, and the blue flame licked on the asbestos with a whistling flame, and the asbestos emitted a dazzling light.

This glow effect, called limelight, is a white light.

The glow of asbestos shone on the silver-plated lamp cover, putting Zhu Qiyu in the light.

Zhu Qiyu clapped the book in his hand helplessly, it is true that the land of Ming Dynasty is vast and abundant.

But there are a few things that are really missing, such as high-quality iron, high-quality coal, oil, gold, silver, and copper.

These important things in the development process are lacking in Ming Dynasty.

No wonder Jin Shangshu's eyes were red when he heard that Wa had so many silver mines.

"Why don't you say that this scholar rebelled and failed in three years?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly said with a smile.

His Majesty stayed in the conference room for a long time, thinking all the time, Xing'an didn't bother him, when His Majesty said this, Xing'an asked cheerfully, "Why did Your Majesty say that?"

Zhu Qiyu shook the rattan chair and said, "Scholars, you can't get to the point all day long."

"Official factories and military bureaus are the dojos of Mozi's mechanistic theory. What's the use of them attacking a harmless statue all day long?"

Zhu Qiyu patted the book in his hand, it was left by Xu Siqi, about the whole process of Liu Laoqi's invention of spring steel, called Sihuolun.

"Mozi is good at machinery. The official factory mines coal, cast iron, forged steel, and now even has spring steel. They don't know that their life and death enemy, the Mo family, has quietly returned to Daming." Zhu Qiyu laughed sullenly. road.

Xing'an was taken aback, His Majesty's thinking was always a bit wild, but surprisingly reasonable.

Indeed, the Coal Wells Division, Coal Division, Driving Division, Iron and Steel Division, and Gunpowder Division of the official factory are hidden in the glory of the official factory. The core mechanism of the Mohists is returning to the Ming Dynasty in a silent way. .

The world of great harmony constructed by Mohists is not simply a moral appeal.

The means to achieve this world of great harmony is to use machinery to increase productivity and use technology to change the world's mode of production.

The ministers of the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy of the Imperial Academy, and the officials of the Sixth Division of the Metropolitan Procuratorate gritted their teeth with hatred for the statue of Mozi, wishing to rush into the Qintianjian and completely destroy the statue of Mozi. Refute Your Majesty's reverence for Mozi.

They fought, but they didn't fight to the point.

The government should be opposed. Only in this way can the foundation of Mozi's thought be completely destroyed.

Xing'an shook his head and said with a smile: "They don't dare, and they can't, because the government factory is beneficial to them. In this day of severe cold and ice like a mirror, they don't burn coal?"

In August of the 14th year of Zhengtong, because of captives, Gyeonggi had to fortify the walls and clear the country.

In order to prevent the Wala people from taking wood to make siege equipment, Yu Qian ordered to cut down almost all the wood in Shuntian Mansion, even if it could not be cut down, all of them were burned.

In that autumn, the whole capital was filled with a burning and choking smell.

Ten years of trees, and now Shuntian Mansion has no charcoal to use at all. What do you use if you don't use coal?

Frozen to death?

Between freezing to death and staying comfortably in the Snappers, they obviously chose the latter.

"To be good, there must be someone who seeks from things." Zhu Qiyu suddenly remembered this sentence in Xinxue.

For the ultimate good, we still have to start from the things.

Talking about morality without a material basis is just nonsense, and even civil servants can't talk about this kind of nonsense, because they also have lives.

Zhu Qiyu opened the Four Fire Theory written by Xu Siqi.

Xu Siqi could read, but his handwriting was not good-looking, so this book on Sihuolun was mainly written by Jinshi and Juren who were punished to work in the Imperial Academy and Guozijian.

In fact, scholars from the Imperial Academy and the Hanlin Academy went to work in Shijing Factory, which was just symbolic hard labor.

The craftsmen of Shijing Factory did not dare to treat them harshly. They found some light jobs for scholars and asked them to do it. Most of them were asked to do clerical work in the factory.

For example, give lessons to craftsmen, such as writing books and biography, summarizing the experience of craftsmen and writing them into books.
