891 Iron Bull 2
"Why don't I adopt some children like the officials and teach them the craft in the future?" Wang Xin was very confused about marrying a wife and having children, he felt that there were so many adopted sons and daughters of big officials, all of them were quite capable, and they didn't seem to be worse than their own children.
"In that case, your grandfather would crawl out in the middle of the night and strangle me...... Why don't you ask the eldest princess to find one for you? "This lack of virtue idea Hong Tao didn't dare to nod, although Wang Datou's family is not a single line, but Wang Xin is the eldest grandson of the long house, how much hatred he has to suffer if he breaks off people's incense.
"Hey, hey, hey...... It would be better if you found one that could make a lathe...... "Wang Xin thinks this proposal is very good, he is a craftsman, and he can let the eldest princess handle the marriage, it must be the green smoke on the grave of the ancestors, and the glory of the ancestors!"
"Are you looking for a daughter-in-law or an apprentice? I can tell you well, just one chance, after seeing people, don't pick and choose, hurry up and make two ocean watches as tokens, with snacks! ”
Hong Tao understands why Wang Xin wants to find a daughter-in-law who can make a lathe, he doesn't care about the craftsmanship, there is such a daughter-in-law, you can sing with your wife, and two people can complete most of the processes.
Hong Tao has nowhere to find such a girl, and he doesn't plan to really look for it, let alone let the eldest princess interfere, it's just an excuse, he is also a regent anyway, and it doesn't sound good to go around all day to protect the media and pull fiber.
Wang Xin's daughter-in-law has already been chosen, Wang 14 and Wang 15 have not yet been married, and they are both in their twenties, their occupations and ages are destined to not find ordinary men, so they simply find a cheap Wang Xin to get, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.
"Jin Qing, how's it going?" Shen Kuoxian finished swinging, turned off the machine, and went out of the house with a polished dogleg knife to find Hong Tao to continue to show off. In normal times, such a knife would have to be clanged for a long time before it was polished by manpower.
But after having the iron bull, he was not even an apprentice in blacksmithing, and he rubbed the grinding wheel for less than an hour, and the knife shape and blade were basically completed, although the appearance was not as beautiful as the blacksmiths, but it was no different from the short knives that were standard for the soldiers of the new army, and the wheels were very sharp to cut people.
"Let them clean up...... Brother Shen, do you know what you've come up with? Hong Tao didn't want others to hear the conversation between Hong Tao and Shen Kuo, so he walked out of the small courtyard of the bell tower and walked along the path to the back garden.
"Iron Bull, Jin Qing's steam engine is not appropriate at all." Shen Kuo wiped the oil stains on his hands with a damp cloth and replied nonchalantly. Change the name, although the drawings were given by you, but the machine was built by me, and I must have this right.
"I mean, with it, the world will change dramatically. Saved in thought that there was no if the steam ...... Iron Bull, hey! By the way, why not call it a steam iron cow, you and I each take two words, fair and reasonable! ”
Hong Tao wanted to talk to Shen Kuo about the role of the steam engine in promoting all mankind, but as soon as he mentioned the name, he couldn't let go. Why can't you use your own name for something you create? No, you have to work hard, and all mankind has forgotten it.
"Just according to Jin Qing, the steam iron bull, such a mysterious mystery is just for the name?" Although Shen Kuo is already familiar with this friend's way of speaking, he can't catch the context every time, it's too jumpy, sometimes he doesn't say the last word, and he can't understand what he wants to say.
"Oh yes, go on...... Where did I just go? "The name contains half of his own creativity, Hong Tao is more satisfied, this is very fair, the creativity is his own, but the truth is Shen Kuo, you can't be too domineering and eat alone.
"Earth-shaking changes will take place in the world......" Shen Kuo is really good-tempered, not annoying at all.
"Yes, a sea change! Have you ever wondered what would happen if you put the Steam Iron Ox in a box car? Waiting for an iron ox is much cheaper than feeding two horses. Moreover, the iron ox can run continuously without sleep, even if it is not as fast as the horse, but in the end it is still more economical than the horse...... Hey, no, you're fooling me, the steam iron bull sounds like four words, but when you talk about it, there are only two words left, and it's cunning. Otherwise, how about calling it an iron steam cow? ”
What can the steam engine do, Hong Tao's first thought is the train. Although the production of rails has not yet been studied, as long as there is demand in the market, technology will immediately follow, and it should not be difficult.
Although it was not difficult, Hong Tao still didn't want to do it himself. He was tired of being an inventor, and that sense of accomplishment and honor praised by thousands of people couldn't offset the loss of hard work, so he had to make Shen Kuo faint first, and then let him preside over the work.
At the theoretical level, I don't bother him, I have unreliable theories, and one or two are thrown out from time to time, which is enough for a thousand Shen Kuo to work for several years. In this way, no matter how happy they are tossed and how fruitful they are, they have to succumb to the guidance of their own theories, and this is called a wise man.
“…… Packed in a box car! Yes, the grinder can turn, why can't the box wheels turn! You can call it anything, no, it's just a steam engine! ”
Hong Tao was still haunted by the broken name, but Shen Kuo had already stopped walking. A word woke up the dreamer, what can the iron bull do, since the model can operate normally, he has been pondering the practical value, if it is just a model puppet, then it will not take much effort to study.
It is obviously impossible to install it on the plane, Shen Kuo secretly tried it, it was too heavy, and the plane couldn't fly at all. Replacing the cattle and horses, waterwheels, windmills, and windmills as a source of power is the only use that Shen Kuo has summarized for several years, and it is easy to achieve.
But after listening to his friend's advice, he was immediately dumbfounded. If you don't accept it, you can't do it, people have to die more than people. I have been thinking about it for several years, and people have done this thing while pondering the name with their hands behind their backs, at best, it takes half of their brains, and the gap is not ordinarily large.
If it weren't for his friends who repeatedly emphasized that they could only interact with each other, Shen Kuo would immediately be able to kneel down and kowtow to the master. Seniority and prestige are nonsense, and the most important thing is to be able to think about it for many years.
"Forget it, let's call it Steam Iron Bull, vulgar but easy to catch." Hong Tao is also a cheap bone, and the naming rights have been given to him, but it is indisputable.
"Jin Qing taught me ......" Shen Kuo couldn't bear it anymore when he heard that he was still pondering the name, he hugged his fists deeply, but his upper body couldn't be lowered, and his neck was grabbed from behind.
"Come with me......" Hong Tao didn't tell Shen Kuo how to build the train, but grabbed him by the neck and dragged him to the back garden. Why do you have to drag it, because you don't have to force Shen Kuo to really not leave. The back garden is the general name of the pavilions and pavilions in the second half of the regent's palace, and some places are not really the back house.
But the back garden is different, all the wives and concubines of the regent are there, and outsiders can't go, and friends can't go, it's too rude. In addition to being rude, Shen Kuo also saw a woman wearing cheongsam and high heels, showing her arms and legs in the back garden.
It's a pity that Shen Kuo doesn't have the strength of his friends, the two of them are about the same size, but one fights at the border all the year round, and the other nests in the house every day, and the physical state is very different.
"Shame...... ashamed...... "Sure enough, it's the same as Shen Kuo thought, my friend is an arrogant and lascivious person, and his private life is extremely **." The most conspicuous building in the back garden is the glazed house, in which there are several graceful figures playing eagles.
Shen Kuo can also fight the flying eagle, but they are not only fighting the flying eagle, but they are also wearing small clothes, which is simply equivalent to not wearing it, so Shen Kuo hurriedly raised his sleeves to cover his face, and silently thought in his heart: I didn't see it, I didn't see it......
"That's the eldest princess and Queen Pang, how is it, they are all half-old, and their figures are not bad, right? This is also the younger brother's stunt, which can make a woman live longer and stay young forever. I don't need to take my sister-in-law over to stay for a while......"
"Jin Qing, don't talk nonsense, if it's so abrupt, Shen will never come to the door again!" Shen Kuo had such a good temper, he was stunned and let Hong Tao say that he was in a hurry, and stomped his feet...... scolded quietly, for fear that the eldest princess would hear it, and if she came over to say hello again, she could only die headlong.
