Chapter 1022 The Observation School

There are many ways to produce solid alcohol, and the original intention of the invention is very funny, in addition to making alcohol safer, there is also an important purpose - to prevent soldiers from drinking it.

In Shaanxi Province, after several incidents of soldiers being blind and dying due to stealing military alcohol, Su You asked the R&D Department of Sitong Firm to set up this scientific research project.

Su You didn't know how the solid alcohol of later generations was produced, but after the establishment of the Sitong firm, a variety of methods and states were developed, and they can all be used!

Even Su oil can't be sure whether it will be used in future generations.

The practice of Nanhai County and Liangzhejiang Road is 70% alcohol, 10% agar powder, and 20% water. The agar powder in the formula is heated with water, then mixed with alcohol, and cooled to form solid alcohol.

It is convenient to save the transport, the goals are clear - naval battles, burning ships.

Bianjing's method is to dissolve alcohol into nitrocellulose at room temperature and then add water.

This solid alcohol has a high combustion value and a long burning time, which can meet the needs of the powerful for camping.

The practice in Shuzhong is to use calcium acetate and alcohol to form a gel.

Calcium acetate is easily soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol, and when the two solutions are mixed, calcium acetate becomes a gel precipitated in alcohol. The liquid gradually changes from turbid to thick, and finally condenses into a single piece, resulting in solid alcohol.

The practice in Shaanxi is to stir the alcohol solution and stearic acid and paraffin evenly, pour the prepared sodium hydroxide solution into a container containing a mixture of alcohol, stearic acid and paraffin, then add alcohol and stir well, pour it into the mold while it is hot, and become a solid alcohol fuel after cooling.

Listening to Wang Kechen's words, Su You couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Every place, according to its own local products, it has made solid alcohol or alcohol paste according to local conditions, which is completely unexpected by Su You." I know that I am a smart and talented person in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are really many places. ”

Wang Kechen smiled: "There is no Liao State!" I heard that the profit of this thing is amazing, and two catties can be exchanged for a four-foot horse? Or a pair of Dongzhu? ”

Su You said: "That's the female tribe in Liaodong, if it's the Huanglong Mansion, the price will be even higher." The most popular ones over there now are the stove, the pot of sauerkraut stewed meat vermicelli, the pot of roasted fish stickers, the pot of haggis keel, and the pot of luncheon meat and radish...... There is also an iron plate barbecue wrapped with lettuce! Food processed with solid alcohol does not smell at all, and it is normal for it to be popular. ”

Wang Kechen couldn't laugh or cry a little: "I know the name of Mingrun gluttony, but I didn't expect that even Liaodong dishes have been studied?" ”

Su You looked shameless: "Knowing yourself and knowing your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”

Today's dishes are grilled pork and hot pot.

Lin Hong, a Song man who was 100 years later than now, wrote in "The Qing Offering of the Mountain Family": "Shi Yun: Only thin batches are used in the mountains, and wine sauce and pepper are lived. Put it on the table with a wind stove, use half a chop of water, wait for the soup to ring, and then divide it into a spoon, so that the soup is cooked by itself, and the juice is offered at will. ”

This way of eating is called "Phixia Offering", which is actually "shabu", which is basically the same as the form of hot pot in later generations.

Needless to say, the copper pot where the soup is served in Wang Juma's house is sauerkraut, ham, fried crucian carp, fish maw, pork bones, chicken bones, cherry sauce, all kinds of dried mushrooms, and dried bamboo shoots.

The ingredients are placed on a pyramid-shaped shelf called "Carved Flower Plate Frame Car", the shelves are carved out of various patterns, the four walls are inlaid with brass, and the outside is carefully wound with silk and colored threads, and all kinds of ingredients are held on small silver plates and placed on each layer, which is very pleasing to the eye.

The dipping sauce is simply leek flower sesame oil sauce with salt.

This is not an old-fashioned hot pot of the Great Song Dynasty, but a new-style Su family white pot, which was pirated by the Wang family.

The roasted pork has also been revised, from thin oil to a fried style like steak, lettuce sandwiched with fried pork belly, plus a slice of garlic, and a cup of herbal tea that is frozen cold outside, which is now the most popular in the Great Song Dynasty.

Several princesses have just recovered from a serious illness, of course, they can't stand such a way of eating that challenges the limits of physiology, so they use a pot with a bottom of seafood porridge, which is light and fragrant, and you can also have a bowl of seafood porridge to nourish your stomach after eating.

Everyone rolled up their sleeves, but Su You was engaged in barbecue, dipping dishes and other work, Wang Shiyue, Zhang Dunli, and Su played archery.

The curtain was raised, and there were several targets standing fifty paces away, and Wang Shiyue drew his bow, let go, and the long arrow flew out, and the first half of the target was submerged in the center of the target.

"Color!" Everyone applauded.

The six arts of the gentleman, the scholar of the Great Song Dynasty, have to pass the level of shooting in the school palace.

Therefore, many Wen Jinshi, such as Chen Yaozhi, Bao Zheng, and Wang Shiyue, are among the best.

Hanging the bow sac, I knew the benefits of Su oil taking the method of squeezing quivers from the Mongolian cavalry in later generations.

The quiver is small, a bit like a small school bag.

The part of the long arrow in the quiver is only a quarter of its length.

After the three-layer diding film used in the inner layer is inserted into it in two rows, because of the extrusion and friction of the two layers of film, even if the horse gallops, the long arrow is inserted very steadily, and there is no need to worry about being shaken out like the current ordinary quiver.

Another advantage is that the quiver is short, and the arrow's journey in the quiver when taking the arrow is two-thirds shorter than before, and the speed of taking the arrow is two-thirds faster.

Don't underestimate these two-thirds, when fighting for life, a little time difference is the difference between life and death.

The outermost layer of the quiver is still made of genuine leather, decorated with gold and silver filigree and precious stones, which is extraordinary.

Princess Xu Guo is the oldest, has a calm temperament, and has no hobbies, and her only hobby is property management.

Therefore, Princess Xu Guo has much more assets than the other two princesses.

The eldest sister is like a mother, and the two princesses not only receive the lessons of their sister on weekdays, but also accept gifts from their sister. Pain and joy.

Su You watched them shoot arrows while flipping the roast meat with a tong.

Su Zhe's archery skills are only above the level, and they are still more than a step worse than Wang Shiyue.

On the contrary, it was Da Su who surprised Su You: "Zizhan, when did you become so powerful?!" ”

Su Shi was triumphant: "Mencius said: 'The benevolent person is like a shot, but he does not hit, but seeks all the body. 'I tried to learn to shoot, and I was also determined to be in the middle, my eyes were on the hoof, and my hands were from it, and nine out of ten were lost, and one of them was lucky. ”

"There are good shooters, teach me to seek all bodies, weigh in hand, follow the rules, and have all four limbs and all bodies."

"If you don't fix one law, one illness will follow. If the disease is exhausted, the heart is not in the middle of the period, the eyes are not in the hoof, and the ten are in the middle. ”

"Drag, what drag! You just say that Cheng Gao taught it?! ”

Shu and the northerners couldn't compare archery, so Wang Shiyue helped Su Zhe adjust his posture a few times, and finally said: "Ziyou and Zizhan can't be compared, and it won't take a day or two to train." ”

"If Mingrun is not afraid of leaks, just let Ziyou use your and Jingrun's cheating bows and arrows."

Su You was immediately unconvinced: "What is a cheating bow and arrow!" We just differ in genres! ”

Wang Shiyue and Zhang Dunli rolled their eyes together in anger, Zhang Dunli had suffered enough: "Then tell me what genre you are called?!" ”

Su You Zhenzhen said: "We are called the observer faction!" ”

It is indeed a contemplative school, Su You and Chen Zhaoming's bow is the kind of eccentric pulley bow of later generations, the bow has sights, and there are two crosses in the sight lens, and there are five small scales between the crosses.

There is also a limit rope in the middle of the bow chord, and the limit rope is a black and a white, which is actually a scale, and the amplitude of the bow can be adjusted.

This amplitude determines the muzzle velocity of the arrow.

There are also four weird little decorations on the bow sac, which are actually a thermometer, a humidity gauge, a barometer, and a portable anemometer.

Needless to say, the barometer is actually an empty box barometer, and its working principle is to use the elastic deformation displacement of the diaphragm box by atmospheric pressure, and drive the pointer through the pull rod and transmission mechanism to indicate the atmospheric pressure value at that time.

The humidity meter uses hygroscopic organic substances such as hair and intestinal membrane as moisture measurement elements, and uses the change in length or volume after moisture absorption to measure air humidity.

The anemometer is a disassembleable device that consists of a chassis with a compass, a vertical shaft, and a metal feather arrow that can be placed on the shaft and self-balancing.

At the other end of the arrow is a small propeller, assembled and placed on a flat surface, with metal tail feathers to indicate the direction of the wind; The propeller has a pattern on it, and the reference wind speed can be obtained according to the dynamic pattern produced at different speeds.

The miniaturization of the four measuring instruments actually cost a lot of energy and wealth to the Polytechnic, and its importance is self-evident.
