Chapter 57: Squatting in a row and forming a circle
At dinner time, Yuan Fang and Ren Fei returned to the hospital, ate something casually, inquired about Wang Fatzi's condition, and went to see it again, the body temperature returned to normal, the rebound pain was reduced, and there was no problem. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yang Xing took over from Xiao Qi to take care of Wang Fugui after dinner, and only came back late at night to find that Yuan Fang had not slept yet, and the two of them had a good time.
Yuan Fang shared his confusion with Yang Xing, so that the two of them didn't sleep well all night, until the next morning, Yuan Fang, who had just slept for a while, was woken up by Yang Xing.
Yang Xing's face was full of excitement, pulled Yuan Fang out of bed, and said, "Boss, I thought of it." ā
Yuan Fang was still a little confused: "What did you think of?" Hasn't Xiaomei been very good to you lately? ā
Yang Xing shook Yuan Fang's shoulder vigorously and said, "Boss, be sober, I'm talking about a thermometer." ā
Yuan Fang suddenly sobered up a lot when he heard this: "What are you talking about?" Have you figured out a way? ā
Yang Xing nodded, shook his head again, and said uncertainly: "It's just an idea, I don't know if it's okay." ā
Yuan Fang rubbed his face and made himself completely sober: "Say." ā
Yang Xing sorted out his thoughts: "That's the case, boss, I can almost understand the thermal expansion and contraction you said yesterday, the mercury expands after heating, and the glass tube can't accommodate it and bursts, boss, have you ever thought about heating the mercury first and then pouring it into the glass tube, so that as long as it doesn't exceed the temperature of the mercury heating at that time, will it not burst?" ā
Yuan Fang pondered for a long time, stood up suddenly, and slapped Yang Xing's shoulder: "You kid is okay." ā
Yang Xing was pleasantly surprised: "My idea can work? ā
Yuan Fang nodded and said, "It's very feasible, Yang Xing, you kid can be regarded as a great help to me." Let's go and try it out. The two of them didn't care about washing, they didn't eat breakfast, and they said a word to Damei and left the hospital.
Fang Qing's glass shop is not doing well, just imagine, ordinary people can't afford to spend so much money to sell glass containers, and those rich people prefer high-quality porcelain, only a small number of people are interested in glass, and in this poor countryside, how many people come to buy glass? At most, it's just which one has built a new house and replaced the glass windows.
When Yuan Fang and Yang Xing came, Fang Qing had just gotten up, and before he could eat his rice bowl, he was pulled by Yuan Fang to the glass workshop.
Practice has proved that Yang Xing's theory is correct, the mercury is heated to a certain temperature, especially the temperature outside the expected measurement range, and then poured into the glass tube, and then tested after natural cooling, and the thermometer did not burst again.
Solve this problem, the rest of the things are easy to do, finally came to a big business, Fang Qing was full of energy, and made more than 20 semi-finished products of different sizes in one go, no way, all handmade, it is already very good to be able to achieve such an effect, it is impossible to be completely consistent.
The next thing should be the indexing of the thermometer, Yuan Fang kept an eye on it, just asked Fang Qing how to carve the marks on the glass tube, and asked for a simple tool, and walked away with Yang Xing with the results of the battle.
Before leaving, Yuan Fang solemnly reminded Fang Qing that the thermometer was invented and created by him, and Fang Qing was not allowed to make and leak the technology privately, otherwise he would be severely investigated for piracy, and gave Fang Qing a 'expensive' salary, saying that he would cooperate with him after a while, and then left.
Yuan Fang didn't know if there was a patent right in this world, so he asked Yang Xing, and he couldn't say that he was ugly, so the first time he returned to Phantom Feather City, Yuan Fang and Yang Xing went directly to the Criminal Office to consult Yan Xiong, of course, the sooner the better, who knows if Fang Qing will be fooled by himself, if he leaks it out or simply applies for a patent first, then Yuan Fang will lose a lot.
There are few people in the criminal department, it is said that the gang of bandits who are working against the official office to intercept and kill the errand service, most of them were taken out by Zhou Qiushui to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the bandits, and the rest are some old and weak, including Yan Xiong, who is sick and disabled.
Yuan Fang was escorted in as a criminal when he came here for the first time, and he left a not good memory, and he felt even more uncomfortable when he heard the screams of torture coming from behind.
Yan Xiong came out of the inquiry, and seeing Yuan Fang's ugly face, he explained: "The one in the back is the bandit who was caught, Brother Yuan, is there something wrong with me?" Yan Xiong's mood was not very good, this was a great opportunity for meritorious service, but Zhou Qiushui excluded Yan Xiong on the grounds that Yan Xiong's body had not recovered from his serious illness.
It stands to reason that Yan Xiong has gone from being a bad guy to a bad boy, and then from being a bad guy to the head, and after so many years, he is no longer a fledgling stunned young man, he shouldn't give up his life to commit a crime, those are all outlaws who kill people without blinking, but this time is different, this time under the unified command of the county lieutenant, and a lot of errands were transferred from various counties, the number of people is almost ten times that of the enemy, there is almost no danger, and it is basically like doing it for nothing.
Yan Xiong pulled Yuan Fang and Yang Xing aside and asked, "Something?" Is there something wrong with Wang Fugui? ā
Yuan Fang shook his head and explained his intentions, Yan Xiong scratched his head, he didn't know much about these: "You guys wait, I'll go to the county magistrate and ask, by the way, what is your plan to lend me one." ā
Yan Xiong didn't have the slightest doubt about Yuan Fang's words, and went to the county manager after taking the thermometer and asking how to use it.
Yuan Fang and Yang Xing squatted outside the door of the Criminal Bureau, looking around boredly, looking like little hooligans looking for targets and preparing to molest women, especially after Yuan Fang squatted down, he also showed two hairy thighs, which looked extremely obscene, no matter how he looked like a good person.
Yan Xiong didn't invite Yuan Fang and Yang Xing to go in and wait, but Yuan Fang refused, he didn't want to enter this so-called broken place again.
Yuan Fang and Yang Xing were whimsically imagining a better future, Ren Fei and Yan Yue came over, Yan Yue didn't pay attention at first, thinking that it was a little hooligan who came to find someone to rely on, but later found that it was Yuan Fang and Yang Xing who were squatting by the wall, and asked in surprise: "Brother Yuan, Brother Yang, what are you two doing?" ā
Yuan Fang scratched his head embarrassedly: "Come to your father to do something, isn't this, waiting." ā
Yan Yue puffed up when she heard this: "My father is really true, how can I let you wait here, go, follow me in and wait." ā
Yuan Fang and Yang Xing shook their heads in unison: "If you don't go in, I don't agree with this place, so let's wait outside." ā
Ren Fei gloated and smiled, let Yan Yue go in by herself, and squatted in a row with Yuan Fang: "Brother Yuan, do you still remember that incident?" ā
Yuan Fang said angrily: "Nonsense, why don't you try it too?" ā
Ren Fei shook his head again and again: "No, if my small body comes to such a big punishment, I will have to hang up." Brother Yuan, do you have something to do with your father? ā
Yuan Fang took out a thermometer from the box covered with flannel and handed it to Ren Fei: "This is the thermometer I gave, which is used to measure temperature, let me ask if it can apply for a patent?" ā
Figuring out the use of patents and thermometers, Ren Fei was surprised and said, "Brother Yuan, how powerful is this thing?" Can you mark the temperature? ā
Yuan Fang didn't explain, took the thermometer in Ren Fei's hand and shook it, inserted it into Ren Fei's creaking nest and said, "Clamp, you'll know later." "I was a little uncomfortable with the thermometer, especially when I didn't dare to use force, for fear of breaking it, and my careful arm didn't dare to move.
Yuan Fang looked at Ren Fei and smiled, and he didn't break it, just looked at it, and Yang Xing did the same, taking Ren Fei together.
After less than ten minutes, Yuan Fang took out the thermometer, pointed to the height of the mercury and said, "See it, this represents your current body temperature." Then, he made a pit in the ground with his hands and buried the bottom of the thermometer in the soil: "Wait a minute, that's the temperature of the ground." Then, the three of them gathered in a circle, like little children observing an ant hole, and squatted on the ground to stare intently at the changes in the thermometer.
After a while, Ren Fei said in surprise: "It seems to have moved, the mercury was in that position just now, and now it has come down." ā
At this time, Yan Xiong and Yan Yue came out, and Yan Yue couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw the three children: "How old are you guys, you still look like children." ā
Yuan Fang stood up and said with a smile: "Hehe, study something and give Ren Fei this kid a literacy." ā
Ren Fei grabbed the thermometer and got up and said, "Dad, this thermometer is amazing, it can really measure the temperature." ā
Yan Xiong smiled: "Brother Yuan, the patent you said doesn't exist in our empire, but there is a similar legal policy. ā
Yuan Fang frowned and asked, "What kind of law and politics?" ā
Yan Xiong explained: "If you are willing to give the method of making this thing to the Empire, once the Empire's Industry Department approves it, it will give a certain amount of gold and silver rewards according to its use and value, and if it is particularly outstanding, there is also a chance to work in the Industry Department, but there is no such thing as the formula you said, which is privately owned and protected by the state to prohibit others from copying it." Brother Yuan, if you want me to say that you will send it to the Ministry of Industry, this thing I tried with the county manager just now, it is amazing, and the use should be quite extensive, if it is favored by the Sikong Lord of the Ministry of Industry, you can go to the Department of Industry to serve, that is the official of Zhongjing, even if the county manager sees it, you have to respectfully salute. ā
Yuan Fang knows very well the darkness of politics, and if he is not careful, he will be doomed, especially in this troubled era, the factional dispute between the two princes is becoming more and more intense, and as an official, he is still a powerless and powerless sesame mung bean official, Yuan Fang has no interest at all.
Yuan Fang was a little disappointed, and nodded weakly like a plague chicken: "Oh, that's it, then I'll go back and think about it." Yan Xiong was stunned, in his opinion, this was a great thing, but Yuan Fang was not interested.
Leaving the Criminal Bureau, Yang Xing saw Yuan Fang's face full of sorrow, and asked puzzledly: "Boss, don't you plan to send the thermometer to the Industrial Department?" That's a great opportunity. ā
Yuan Fang shook his head, looked at Yang Xing, and said in a solemn tone: "Yang Xing, this thermometer has more than half of your credit, if you want to enter the official career, I can give this to you, you go to the Department of Industry to perform skills, you may really have a chance to be favored, and then it is logical to stay there as an errand." ā
