1012 Academy of Engineering

The next is still a process of surprises, perhaps in the early years, Shen Zhezi's energy was more focused on military and politics, even if he occasionally inspected the front-line technical production, he was in a hurry to glance and taste, and he still looked down on the level of craftsmanship in this era.

With many physical objects in front of you in this tent, both the structure of the machinery and the internal power of the machinery are considerable. Perhaps due to the difference in basic production methods, it is impossible to make such high-precision and complex devices as later generations, but it has reached a very high level in human operation.

In addition, these craftsmen have their own unique skills, and this method of inheritance between father and son, and door inheritance, can maximize the accumulation of experience of predecessors, and at the same time ensure a wealth of practical operations to hone skills. Of course, this is based on the long-term exploitation of labor.

In short, there is no doubt that these craftsmen represent the most high-end production techniques of this era. Even the Qiang captain Lei Xuyang, who looked flattering, was a very skilled craftsman of gold and bronze utensils, and he offered his own hand-made gold shackles.

The so-called gold file, is a kind of spherical incense burner, in later generations also called the incense burner, with gold, copper and other metals to create a round ball wall, inside and outside the ring, in the inner circle suspended with a bowl-shaped furnace body for holding charcoal, spices. The bowl is connected to the round shell at both ends by a smooth shaft, and the center of gravity can always be kept stable without tilting, and when the outer sphere is closed, it can be rolled at will without tilting the charcoal.

The Shen family is also regarded as the wealthy gateway of Jiangdong, and there are many skilled craftsmen under the door, but such exquisite utensils were only seen in the dowry of Princess Xingnan, and they felt eye-opening at that time. Later, I also searched for a while, but there were few craftsmen with such crafts in Koto, and even Yuanzhong only brought some with them when they crossed to the south.

Therefore, this gold file can be described as a complete luxury in Jiangdong, and once it appears in the market, it is mostly at the price of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Although if it is just for heating, any utensils can be satisfied, but such objects are still widely sought after, and there is nothing else, high-end luxury and high-grade.

Moreover, in Shen Zhezi's view, simple utensils, in addition to the pursuit of quality of life in the pursuit of poverty and luxury, also reflect a very exquisite mechanical structure idea.

Shen Zhezi spent a whole day finally watching all the people and things in this camp, including books and materials, which was not only eye-opening, but also full of emotion.

It is true that each of these craftsmen has extraordinary skills, but they are also very limited, they are all specialized in something, and the rest are rarely involved. Including this original thunderbeard sheep, in addition to maintaining his own skills and research, at most he only knows who is good at what, and his vision in terms of process application can be described as extremely narrow.

This should also be a long-standing defect in the craftsmanship of craftsmen, which has only stagnated at the level of technology and workmanship for a long time, and has not been able to rise to the level of systematic science or even philosophy.

Although it is said that there is no basis for the suspense of physics, if there is no theoretical system support, there is no big direction for improvement at the technical application level. Many problems that cannot be explained naturally rise to the level of metaphysics.

For example, when the thunder whisker sheep was offering the golden ring, the mechanism could have been explained clearly in three or two sentences, and he also had to break a few crooked theories such as the round sky and the five qi running, and probably he couldn't figure it out himself.

This kind of speculation that rises to the ideological level is a long-term guidance process, especially when it comes to the fundamental cognition of society, so it needs to be more cautious.

Occultism such as metaphysics or religion is actually a kind of protection for people, and it is also cruel to know the world too truly. Even in the later era of scientific prosperity, there are still many highly educated and even real great scientists who have a soft spot for theology. To establish a complete materialist theoretical system in the Middle Ages is a fool's dream.

In fact, the progress of science still comes from the accumulation and summarization of experience, and the conclusions drawn from different angles of observation may be completely different. The real turning point of history lies only in a few opportunities, when people have a greater ability to use and transform nature, and the vision is naturally no longer what it used to be.

By the end of the inspection of the artisan camp, it was already completely dark.

When Shen Zhezi and his subordinates left the camp, there were still a large number of merchants and villagers gathered outside the camp, but this time they were most likely disappointed, and Shen Zhezi had many ideas around this group of craftsmen, but he would not let them go and hire them.

Halfway through, Shen Zhezi turned directly to return to the Qianjin Mansion to bid farewell to his business. Today, he saw a lot of rare and exotic goods from the north, and he also thought about his family's preferences, and picked out some of the objects that the princess and others might be interested in and took them away directly for them to play and enjoy.

Because there is a thirsty little Langjun in the family, the family's work and rest have become irregular. When Shen Zhezi returned to Beiye, it was not dark at night, but the entire manor was quiet, and there was a slight commotion, and even the family members who were waiting for the order did not dare to pant loudly.

In fact, in Shen Zhezi's opinion, this is not necessary, the entire manor area is very large, and the Axiu child occupies less than two feet, there is really no need for the whole family to accommodate his work and rest, at most the inner courtyard pays a little attention, and everything is as usual outside.

But because of this child, it doesn't matter how he expresses his opinions at home, and if there are occasional disagreements, even a few nurses have to refute him a few words that he doesn't know the baby's temperament.

Over time, Shen Zhezi didn't bother to express any opinions, just waiting for this little child to grow up and be able to withstand the tempering before he was brought out to beat, although he would not be extreme enough to pursue any hardship education, but he would never allow his son to be raised in the deep pavilion and grow up in the hands of women.

Some of the items brought back by Shen Zhezi were properly stored in the vestibule, and after bathing and changing, he asked people to choose a few mysterious and elegant utensils such as tail and feather crown, and then went out to visit Ge Hong, who lived not far from here.

There are two prominent aspects of medicine in this world, one is health preservation, and the other is maternal and child health care, the elderly are afraid of decay and death, and the young are afraid of early death. Ge Hong has a lot of attainments in these two aspects, and his main business alchemy is the way to seek immortality in vain. As for the risk of women giving birth and the premature mortality rate of infants and young children, they are the major problems restricting population growth.

Ge Hong arrived in Huainan with Princess Xingnan a few years ago, although the princess did not need the intervention of this little fairy from the birth to the birth, but it is always reassuring to have such a famous and miraculous master to take care of him closely.

Being able to invite Ge Hong is not that Shen Zhezi has a big face. Although he met Ge Hong through his teacher Ji Zhan very early, they also lacked much friendship with each other. Shen Zhezi didn't care about the so-called immortal way of the little immortal, and Ge Hong didn't like Shen Zhezi, a person who was obsessed with power.

Especially in the past few years, Shen Zhezi has carried out extremely profound reforms to the Jiangdong Heavenly Master Dao with the help of Jiangdong Lu Shijun and Yan Mu Yan Shijun who returned from the north. Moreover, in the eyes of Ge Hong, a veteran member of the Heavenly Master Dao, many of these changes were completely distorting the Xuan Chuan Doctrine, which also made Ge Hong even more dissatisfied with Shen Zhezi.

The reason why Xiao Xian Weng is willing to follow the north and stay until now is that on the one hand, he wants to trace the origin of the whole book, although the Jiangdong Heavenly Master Dao is quite prosperous, but it is also mixed with many Wu Yue's obedient theories, which are turbid and difficult to distinguish. Ge Hong had long wanted to go north to trace the origins in order to demonstrate the Dao and spread the correct law, especially to combat Shen Zhezi's evil law that confuses the world.

On the other hand, because of the lack of money, Ge Hong himself does not manage the industry, and even if there is any money and goods coming in, it will come and go quickly. He wants to trace back to the canon and write the canon of the Tao, but the energy consumption is still secondary, and the manpower and property consumption required is the real headache.

Therefore, even if he is as high as a little immortal, he has to be temporarily employed by the Shen family to be a caretaker.

Although Ge Hong didn't like Shen Zhezi very well, Shen Zhezi still had a lot of respect for this old gentleman.

In his opinion, this old gentleman is a figure like Newton, although his main business is to engage in some feudal superstitions such as theology and immortalism, but some achievements made by piggybacking are enough to shock the world.

Of course, Ge Xian Weng could not reach the height of Father Niu, but he also brought great improvements to the world, especially in medicine.

In addition to the knowledge that Shen Zhezi obtained from later generations about drinking boiled water and paying attention to hygiene, it was also related to some realistic epidemic prevention measures proposed by Ge Hong, especially in terms of drug epidemic prevention.

Shen Zhezi's wheat seedlings and grass seedlings are not very clear about the level, and it is even more difficult to propose any practical value of medicinal material reserve plan. However, Ge Hong has been deeply involved in the countryside for a long time, and he especially knows many common herbs that are effective in preventing and controlling epidemics, which are really of great help to Huainan.

This alone, even if the little fairy Weng has any small willfulness, it is worthy of Shen Zhezi's courtesy.

Therefore, he also hired Ge Hong as the librarian of the Xinshi Pavilion, and used part of the power of the Governor's Mansion to help Xiao Xian Weng collect some ancient chapters and old books, although Ge Hong sorted out the classics in a vow to fight against his heresy of adding a plug to the Heavenly Master.

But Shen Zhezi still has this measure, the so-called truth is more and more clear, and the more the metaphysics is debated, the more confused, even if the argument goes to heaven, as long as the aura is not recovered, the possibility of the old gentleman becoming an immortal is very small. Of course, he also admitted that he was using Ge Hong's profound theoretical foundation to sort out and screen those miscellaneous Xuandao classics, so as to grasp the Heavenly Master Dao more effectively.

The so-called repair of books is the destruction of books, which is not the first creation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's "Siku Quanshu".

Of course, when Shen Zhezi thought of Ge Hong at this moment, he didn't have any interest in the old man's research progress. He planned to set up another engineering institute outside the Xinshiguan system, hoping to develop it with the help of the old man's name.
