Chapter 402: Idleness
Sure enough, in the next few days, the migrant workers who were farming in the fields rarely saw the Hou Ye who had nothing to do every day.
After the willow tree with the crooked neck was empty for several days, an elderly farmer came to Xiaodong and asked if the Hou Ye was gone.
When he got a negative answer from Xiaodongkou, he left with peace of mind, and said as he walked: "Hey, now we are relieved......"
Watching the old farmer go back step by step, Xiaodong's eyes were a little moist! I was about to run over and tell Xiao Han how much he was loved here, but a gust of wind brought the farmer's words: "Since the Hou Ye is not leaving, our food treatment will be guaranteed, and the little grandson is still waiting at home to eat meat......"
In a word, the choked Xiaodong rolled his eyes on the spot!
These people who have no conscience thought they were missing the Hou Ye, but they didn't expect that they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to eat good food and get paid......
Xiao Han is almost deaf to the things outside, because Ren Qing and Sun Simiao are almost twenty-four hours by their side to supervise themselves! Last time, I had diarrhea and went to the toilet for a long time, and Sun Simiao dared to go into the toilet to take a look! seems to be afraid that Xiao Han will run away from the toilet, hey, I can't live this day......
Don't think about it, it's all tears when you think about it! It's still safe to work, and it's a day earlier to finish a day earlier but worry about it.
Because there are ready-made molds, Ren Qing's telescope is relatively easy to get. Learn from the Pirates of the Caribbean in the movie, just get a retractable tube.
Although Xiao Han knows that the refraction principle of the mirror can shorten the barrel body, but such a troublesome thing should be left to the smart people in the future, and we can't take up everything alone.
Draw a picture and hand it to Ren Qing, and soon, the copper three-section pipe was delivered. Next, choose two pieces of the best crystals for the craftsman to grind, and the edges are corked.
Time is in a hurry, and the crystal that Ren Qing and Li Shimin want has not been delivered yet, so now they can only borrow Sun Simiao's first. Fortunately, Sun Daochang was kind-hearted, and if he was Xiao Han, he had to reach out to him to ask for interest.
The telescope only needs to make the first sample, and Ren Qing will do the rest.
The most difficult thing is the microscope, but in Xiao Han's research day and night, he still made it in the end.
The finished microscope looks weird, and the whole body is made of brass! The condenser at the bottom is made of a mirror sent by Chang'an 800 miles in an emergency, even so, the imaging effect is still not satisfactory, but you can see the plankton in the water.
The microscope that took a lot of effort to build is now Sun Simiao's baby! Outsiders can't wait to see each other, so Sun Simiao also specially found someone to build a wooden box with a slide at the bottom.
Pull it out when you use it, cover it with a silk cloth when you don't use it, and lock it in the box, for fear of being damaged by some people's hairy hands!
I've seen people who turn their faces and don't recognize people, I've never seen people who turn their faces like this, as soon as things are done, they become 'some people', and now they can't even get into the door!
"Isn't it just to break a crystal piece, as for the thief to prevent me? I didn't even ask you for royalties! After eating a big closed door at Sun Simiao's door, Xiao Han walked back stupidly.
Ever since he accidentally dropped the specimen on the ground and shattered it when he was looking at the microscope, he was listed as persona non grata by Lao Sun, and he was strictly forbidden to get close to the microscope.
There's a puff of smoke coming in from afar, but don't worry, it's the messenger carrying materials.
Since the formed telescope needs to be made of copper, Ren Qing simply invited a few coppersmiths here to facilitate him to make telescopes in batches.
I've seen iron smelting, I've never seen copper smelting, and when I saw the fast horse riding straight to the black smoke workshop, Xiao Han's eyes rolled and he followed over to take a look.
The workshop is not big, and it is also built on the most marginal downwind position, which is also strongly requested by Xiao Han. It was bacon that was smoked all day long, not him......
Entering the workshop, waving his hand to let the craftsmen who came to see him continue to work, Xiao Han began to watch the process of copper smelting with his hands behind his back.
Brushing the wind and making a fire, it seems that the steps are exactly the same as smelting iron. It wasn't until the coppersmiths threw the copper coins into the crucible that Xiao Han felt a little pain in his heart......
China has always been a copper-deficient country, especially when copper is endowed with many additional functions, and it is becoming more and more scarce.
Copper is needed to cast money, copper is needed for ritual utensils for worship, copper is also needed for Buddhism to build a large hall, and even copper is inseparable from making a basin! Fortunately, bronze swords are not used now, otherwise it would not be easy to get so much copper.
Piles of copper coins slowly melted in the crucible, the temperature around them rose rapidly, and waves of heat in the air surged one after another, Xiao Han had to retreat to the door before he felt able to catch his breath.
In the face of the heat, a shirtless man took a long iron spoon and scooped aside the impurities on the copper water, which were the lead and tin added to the coinage, which were useless waste materials and had to be discarded.
When the copper water is boiled, several coppersmiths pour the copper water into the rectangular grinding tool. When it solidifies, but does not harden completely, roll it up with a long iron rod. Roll back and forth on the smooth slate, and finally pull out the iron rod, and the copper sheet has become a copper pipe.
This method of making is very fast, and it doesn't take long for a bunch of copper pipes to appear in front of Xiao Han. Xiao Han touched his chin and looked at these copper pipes, and suddenly thought of what would happen if he used them to make gun barrels?
Thinking of an AK in his left hand and a bazooka in his right hand, facing a group of martial arts masters with swords, he yelled: Who is not convinced?! None of the masters dared to take a step forward. Xiao Han, who has been baptized by martial arts dramas since he was a child, seems to have turned his eyes into stars.
"Hahahaha......" Standing there unconsciously laughing, several coppersmiths next to him looked at Xiao Han who was hysterical in horror, they had never experienced it like this, and they didn't know what to do now.
Fortunately, Xiaodong and Stunned followed the sound to find him. Looking at Xiao Han's appearance, he couldn't bear to look at him directly, so he hurriedly took him away left and right, it was too embarrassing when Hou Ye smirked......
Leaving the workshop as if escaping, Xiao Han also came back to his senses at this time, remembering the embarrassing scene just now, he couldn't help but cover his face, pulled Xiaodong stunned and ran all the way to the ditch, and washed his face with cold water several times, and then returned to normal.
Take a few breaths and lie on the grass with your back facing the sky. Watching the white clouds floating in the sky, Xiao Han's mood also brightened.
"Xiaodong, how about we go hunting in the Qinling Mountains?"
Xiaodong's head shook violently: "No! Brother Ren said, you'd better stay here now! It's dangerous out there! ”
"What's dangerous? You can choke to death by drinking saliva, can you still not drink water? Xiao Han was very unhappy with Ren Qing's restriction of his personal freedom.
