Chapter 1196 Postscript 52·This feeling can be turned into cement
Another month and a half passed. Luoyang Imperial College was on summer vacation, and Xie Yan was still doing cement preparation experiments.
The overall idea remains unchanged, but it is necessary to constantly adjust the structure of the cement kiln, constantly adjust the spatial proportions of each layer of fired materials, and constantly change the combination of correction raw materials, mineralizers and retardants.
There are many things added, such as gypsum, fluorite, slag, sandstone, coal gangue, iron ore, etc.
These things do not need to be thrown in all, but are determined based on the composition of the local limestone and clay in the cement factory. Xie Yan cannot test the specific ingredients, so he can only use a stupid method-continuous trial and error.
Even if he doesn't apply for a patent, Xie Yan is not afraid that his cement will be overtaken by others. Because the composition of raw materials varies from place to place, the auxiliary materials that need to be added will also change accordingly. The quality of his cement will always be the best!
Of course, you don't have to make it so complicated and just add two or three basic auxiliary materials. The quality will definitely be better than Daming's existing cement.
When licensing patents to others, Xie Yan can do the same and only provide basic processes and formulas.
If you want the advanced version, you have to pay extra. Invite Bachelor Xie to go to the relevant factory to conduct experiments in person, and then add excipient formulas based on local raw material ingredients.
Qingluan stood nearby and was extremely moved when he heard Xie Yan's words. This sentiment spread all over the world and was truly known to the whole world. Alas, it would be great if I were a princess. How come no man treats me like this?
Woolen cloth?
The correct* version of this + content is in the 6/9* book. Let’s read it! [6*9*S*H*U-B-A.CX]
It seems that as the princess said, he has a purpose every time he visits. Scumbag! This kind of thing must not be admitted. Xie Yan said with a smile: "Sister, I remember it very clearly. Do you recall every time we meet in detail?"
Pass?"
He heard that the princess was by the lotus pond, so he walked a long way over.
Zhu Tangxi's ears were itched by the hot air, and the resentment in his heart had disappeared by three points. When he looked at the name of the invention patent, he instantly became beaming: "I guess you still have some conscience."
Zhu Tangxi was so angry that she stopped contacting her and waited for Xie Yan to come over and apologize and coax her. As a result, after waiting and waiting, Zhu Tangxi couldn't bear it anymore and took a carriage to visit Longmen Grottoes again.
Gong Caopu immediately said: "Thank you, bachelor, for leading the way."
"Leave now?" the patent examiner asked hurriedly.
After witnessing the performance of the new cement with their own eyes, the engineering staff rushed back and immediately issued a patent certificate to Xie Yan, and then quickly reported it to Luoyang Prefecture.
"Condensed stone" is what the Ming Dynasty called concrete, and iron bars and various hard stones have been added to it. But it is only wrought iron bars, not as luxurious as adding steel bars.
After a loud hammering, the two concrete pillars were completely broken, leaving only the iron bars inside still connected.
The worker took a sip of tea and quickly grabbed the patent application materials.
Princess number.
Every time Zhu Tangxi went to the southern suburbs, she would be made happy by some earthy love words, and she would happily go home and wait for the next time. She waited and waited and Xie Yan didn't come, so she was so angry that she had to take the initiative to leave the city again.
"Yes." Zhu Tangxi responded softly, his tone became particularly gentle, and he stared at the patent certificate again and again.
Xie Yan was startled when he heard this.
Zhu Tangxi glanced at the cover and said in surprise: "Has the cement been made?" Then he complained, "I helped you with everything, but you found out later than the officials."
"Bang bang bang!"
Then he said affectionately: "I have learned how to make a kind of pastry. Can I make it for you today?"
Li Minqiu personally picked up a hammer and walked towards two brick walls that had been left open for many days. One was built with Li's cement, and the other was built with Xie Yan's new cement.
The subtext is that although we didn't invent this thing, it must be a great achievement for us to be able to handle it and report it quickly.
Li Minqiu's arms were sore after swinging the hammer a few times. He asked two farmers to come over and hit two thin concrete pillars with the hammer.
…
She insisted that she was going to Longmen Grottoes and stopped by to see the progress of Xie Yan's experiments.
Li Minqiu subconsciously wanted to pretend to refuse, but was afraid of backfiring, so he immediately said goodbye: "Thank you, bachelor, and don't pay more rent. You can stay as long as you want in the future. Of course, this little rent can't repay the kindness of bachelor. From now on, thank you bachelor."
If there is an errand, I, the Li family in Luoyang, will never frown!"
Zhu Tangxi asked back: "Aren't you?"
"I don't have that leisure," Zhu Tangxi asked in a contemptuous tone, "Tell me, what do you want this time?"
"Ms. Li, please give it a try." Xie Yan said with a smile.
After saying that, Gong Caoyu took Xie Yan to drink tea.
Xie Yan knew that he was wrong, so he quickly sat next to the princess, held her hand and said, "Sister, the lotus painting is so beautiful and lifelike."
"Why are you free today?" Zhu Tangxi's tone contained a hint of resentment.
"Okay." Xie Yan took the princess's hand and took the opportunity to kiss the back of it.
The next day, Xie Yan took the patent application materials and went to Luoyang Prefecture Gong Cao's patent room.
She wanted to just kiss her and stop, but the man was so excited that Xie Yan directly pulled her into his arms.
This naturally stems from Zhu Tangxi’s title: the eldest princess of Qin.
This little enemy is so heartless. Ever since he gave me a necklace last time, he hasn't come to his door for more than forty days.
"In the future, the entire Ming Dynasty, and even the whole world, will use Qin cement. Everyone who lives in a house built with Qin cement will know that this is a gift from me to my sister," Xie Yan asked, "Does your sister like this gift?"
."
Gong Cao Peng scolded: "The sooner the better. Do you know how useful this cement is? Since it can be used to build flood control dams, it can also be used to build castles on the border!"
As for the other concrete column, after it was forcibly broken, the pit at the stress point was much shallower and much less. It also took several more hammers before it broke.
Xie Yan smiled and said: "Thank you to Mr. Li for lending the land and craftsmen, and also helping me purchase a lot of test materials. Once I apply for the cement patent, I will authorize the Li family to use the patent for ten years for free."
"It's amazing!"
After a long while, he turned around and walked up to Xie Yan, bowed and said: "Scholar Xie is a scholar of heaven and earth. I admire you very much!"
The Gongcaobu of Luoyang Prefecture is equivalent to the Director of Industry and Commerce of Luoyang City, the capital city. Now it has become an unspoken rule that the Gongcaobu is basically held by science scholars.
The reason why the existing cement in Ming Dynasty is difficult to use for building dams is not only insufficient in strength, but also insufficient in water resistance and corrosion resistance.
For a down-and-out aristocrat like Li Minqiu, he could just call him "Li Yuanwai", but Xie Yan kept calling him "Li Xianggong". This made Li Minqiu happy, and often lamented that Bachelor Xie was reasonable.
But one of the pillars was so pitted, especially the place that had been repeatedly stressed, that it was even broken by the farmer.
"Easy to say." Xie Yan handed over his hand.
Zhu Tangxi said happily: "Please come soon."
Xie Yan took out the cement patent certificate: "Sister, what do you think this is?"
Hearing that it was Bachelor Xie who had arrived, Cao Cao, the engineer, came to receive him personally and said to the patent examiner: "Pass the examination as soon as possible and don't waste Bachelor Xie's time."
Zhutang River faces a pond full of lotus paintings, and the lotus flowers here have been in full bloom in recent days.
The original meaning of Yuanwai is to increase the number of officials. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, idle officials bought with money could all be called "Yuanwai + a certain position". Gradually, for those rich and powerful gentry who needed to be honored, they were unified.
Call "member outside".
The essence is the same as Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, and Master Sun.
He hit the new cement wall again, hammering it down three times, and lay down close to take a closer look. There were also cracks, but they were relatively small.
Why are you standing there in a daze if you have no merit? Gong Cao immediately took the patent examiner and several of his subordinates and ran towards the southern suburbs in a hurry.
Li Minqiu squatted there and observed carefully, marveling as he watched.
Xie Yan looked aggrieved: "Sister, do you really think of me as such a utilitarian person?"
Zhu Tangxi was about to lose his temper, but he couldn't pull his hand back after being slapped twice, so he said angrily: "The first time you came here, you wanted to cooperate with me to build a cement factory. The second time you came, you asked me to help the Ministry of Industry.
Write a letter of recommendation and look up information. The third time you came, you asked me to help you borrow a microscope. The fourth time you came, we went to the city to look for the fluorite. You are a person who has nothing to gain, so what do you want this time? "
Zhu Tangxi pretended and continued to paint the lotus. It seemed that he was concentrating, but in fact, his concentration was completely distorted. The only thing in his mind was the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.
Xie Yan named this cement "Qin Guo Cement."
Xie Yan said: "Please try the condensed stone over there again."
Zhu Tangxi put down the patent certificate and asked all the maids to retreat.
Xie Yan hid key information such as the details of the vertical kiln and the ratio of raw materials in the patent application materials. After reading the materials, Cao Cao asked, "Is this true?"
Xie Yan became more and more familiar with the layout of the princess's home. Not only did he not need anyone to guide him when entering from the outer courtyard, but the inner courtyard and gardens were also just like going home.
Zhu Tangxi did not resist, but peeked in the direction where the maids were leaving. Seeing that there was no one around, she took the initiative to lower her head and kiss the side of Xie Yan's face.
