Chapter 230 028: Do you want to do business with the court? (Second update)
Author: Dream Builder
The next day, Chang Xi did not go back to work at the tea brick workshop, but waited for Jie Yuxin's arrival in the other courtyard. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Jie Yuxin's carriage to arrive at the other courtyard.
As soon as Zhiying helped her girl out of the carriage, she saw Mrs. Chang waiting here. She couldn't help but be startled. Then her girl smiled and went over to greet Mrs. Chang affectionately.
"Sister Chang, you've been waiting for a long time. It's my sister's fault, isn't it?" Jie Yuxin said apologetically, holding Chang Xi's hand.
In fact, she wanted to rush over after receiving the news from Chang Xi yesterday, but her mother did not allow her to go because it was getting dark, and her father did not support it, so she delayed it until today.
Zhiying said hurriedly, "We girls got up very early today, and even had breakfast on the carriage..."
Jie Yuxin has always been very tolerant to the maids around her, but she was not happy when Zhiying was like this, so she called out softly, "Zhiying, please go and pack your luggage first."
Only then did Zhiying realize that she had made a mistake and made the girl unhappy, so she found an excuse to dismiss herself.
Chang Xi just watched with cold eyes and said nothing. After Zhiying retreated, she heard Jie Yuxin's apology. Then she smiled and pulled Jie Yuxin towards Lin Yuqi's laboratory, "I'm just a servant.
That's all, why should I argue with you? Besides, she was right, you had to get up very early today, otherwise you wouldn't have arrived at the other hospital at this time."
Seeing that Chang Xi was not angry, Jie Yu felt a little relieved, "I'm relieved that Sister Chang doesn't care about me."
Chang Xi spread her hands and said, "If I care about everything, will I still be alive?"
These words were funny and understood, and the atmosphere between the two immediately became better, and they forgot about the little episode just now.
After hearing the explanation, Mrs. Bai hurriedly came over to greet her. After her sister-in-law greeted her, she saw that her sister-in-law was not as cold towards her as before, so she felt a little at ease. Now she truly realizes that she does not do anything when she does not do it.
It's better not to be a matchmaker for three generations. I thought of finding a husband for this sister-in-law before, which was really overestimating my ability.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and turned around early.
Jie Yuxin is not the kind of person who waits for little things. Seeing his eighth sister-in-law accompanying her carefully, he also found something to say to her. After all, those things are in the past, and there is no need to hold them and hold them in your heart.
When we arrived at Lin Yuqi's laboratory, Xie Jin and Xie Ming were also there. Obviously they were also very interested in this experiment, so even Xie Ming was too lazy to go to the tea brick workshop for a long time today.
"Why are you still here? Didn't you go in?" Bai asked in confusion.
Jie Ming pointed to the still closed door with a wry smile and whispered, "Lin San's servants came over and said that their third master wouldn't let us in. Unless my wife and my sister come, who else will we be here today?"
None of them are seen."
I didn't see that even Lao Jiu, the owner of the other courtyard, was turned away. This is a rare thing.
Bai actually didn't like coming here to deal with Lin Yuqi, he was just a weirdo, but today Chang Xi and Xie Yuxin wanted to see the results of the experiment, so she came over to join in the fun.
As soon as Jie Yuxin came, she went over and knocked on the door, but Chang Xi walked over to Xie Jin and looked at him with a smile, "How do you feel about being shut out?"
Xie Jin saw that she was ready to laugh, so he said helplessly: "Even if a capable person has a weird temper, I won't argue with him."
Chang Xi didn't see it as a joke, but Chang Xi looked regretful on the surface, but in fact he had a deeper understanding of a cold and self-denying person like him.
Lin Yuqi heard the voice of Xie Yuxin and opened the door to isolate the outside world in person. However, he could only see the people he wanted to see, and he automatically ignored the others. Therefore, except for Xie Yuxin
, he only greeted Chang Xi.
"Ms. Chang, come and see the steam power I made." He waved to Chang Xi happily.
Chang Xi immediately abandoned Jie Jin and ran over, following Lin Yuqi to the laboratory with Jie Yuxin.
Xie Jin could only shake his head and follow him inside. Finally, there was Xie Ming and Mr. Bai. Anyway, they were the last couple.
This laboratory was renovated. When Xie Jin heard that Lin Yuqi was conducting experiments in another courtyard, he directly ordered the interior walls of several rooms to be knocked down, so the laboratory was quite spacious.
Several of Lin Yuqi's assistants hurriedly saluted these people, then lowered their hands to the side to wait for instructions.
Chang Xi saw this simple but advanced machine in this era. She was stunned at first, and then immediately understood that the scientific principles were the same, so even this machine was quite similar to the machines she had seen in history textbooks in her previous life.
resemblance.
Lin Yuqi excitedly explained to Jie Yuxin and Chang Xi, "Did you see here? This is for adding firewood, and here is filled with water. When the water boils, the steam will be produced. You see, the gas
It will rise to this level, and then push the valve down through the pipe here, and then the machine wheel here will rotate. Finally, the gas will go out here and push the valve back to its original position. In this way, the wheel can
Constantly turning..."
He was speaking and gesturing at the same time.
Unfortunately, except for Chang Xi and Xie Yuxin who could understand the working principle, everyone else looked confused. Even Xie Jin, who had dabbled in many miscellaneous books, was confused for the first time in his life.
, his brows were even more furrowed, obviously not understanding what Lin Yuqi said.
Xie Ming tried hard to understand, but the more he listened, the more his eyes felt like mosquito coils.
Bai gave up immediately. Such profound principles were not something a woman like her could understand, so she wandered around the world the whole time.
Jie Yuxin participated in the discussion excitedly, and finally asked Lin Yuqi to try it out.
Lin Yuqi never refused the requests of his friends. He raised his hand to signal the boy beside him to add firewood to the preset stove. After a while, the firewood started to burn and the temperature of the room began to rise.
After a while, the wheels on the machine began to rotate and worked non-stop. At this time, everyone except Chang Xi was stunned. Even the traveling Bai family couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God, this wheel!"
Is it really spinning all the time and no one is shaking inside?"
"That's the power generated by the steam pushing the valve to keep the wheel turning." Chang Xi explained to Bai Shi.
"Oh oh oh." Mrs. Bai still didn't understand, but she refused to ask questions because she really didn't want to embarrass herself.
Jie Jin on the side was amazed. After listening to Chang Xi's explanation, he gradually understood the working principle of this steam. At this moment, he suddenly understood why Chang Xi said that this was an epoch-making significance. If this technology is
Applied to all walks of life, it would be such a terrifying productivity.
"You told me last time that someone over there with the foreign devils has already studied this and made a machine that can assist coal mining in expelling poisonous gas. This way coal mining will be much safer." He suddenly looked at Chang Xi and said.
Chang Xi didn't expect Xie Jin to remember this paragraph, so he nodded, "That's the case," and then quickly caught Xie Jin's intention, "You mean to prioritize the design of such a machine?"
"Yes." Xie Jin said directly, "If there is such a machine that can reduce casualties, it would be a great merit. Besides, this kind of steam power requires firewood as energy, so a more practical coal mine would be more suitable.
In this way, the production capacity of coal mines is increased, which in turn can promote the development of steam power. The two are complementary to each other."
Chang Xi really wanted to give Xie Jin a thumbs up now. He had to say that elites are elites. He does not have the function of a prophet like a latecomer like himself, but he can make accurate judgments based only on his own judgment, which is really rare.
"Your idea is right. It is true that coal mines are more suitable as an energy source for steam power."
After hearing Chang Xi's words, Lin Yuqi immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's right, why did I ignore the coal mine? Go and carry a few baskets of coal."
The assistant on the side immediately responded and hurriedly followed the instructions.
Xie Jin was quite happy that Chang Xi recognized his point of view, but before he could say anything more, he heard Chang Xi looking at him with gleaming eyes and saying, "Jie Jiuye, wait until the machine is developed and mass-produced."
, will our institute do this business with the imperial court first when the time comes?"
Resources such as coal mines have always been controlled by the court. Private businesses are not allowed to mine. If discovered, it will be a serious crime and the whole family will suffer.
Therefore, this business can only be done with the imperial court.
If it weren't for a group of outsiders, Xie Jin really wanted to pick up Chang Xi and hold it high. She was really a roundworm in her belly, "Yes, if you can successfully develop it, I will connect you with the court."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little shocked. Aren't they here to see the results of the experiment? How could it develop into doing business with the imperial court?
Furthermore, I want to take advantage of the imperial court. Haha, it would be a good thing if the imperial court does not swallow up all this.
"This is too dangerous." Xie Ming licked his lips and said.
Chang Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I think it's okay to seek wealth and honor in danger."
Except for Jie Yuxin and Lin Yuqi, who knew Jin and stayed out of the matter, everyone present felt that Mrs. Chang was crazy. How could she bring her idea to the court?
Don't you think you can die soon enough?
No one could understand it, and Chang Xi didn't need them to understand it. She understood that Xie Jin's suggestion must have his own reasons, and he had the connections and energy to achieve this, so why didn't she just go with the flow?
Besides, it is normal that doing business involves risks. What is tested at this time is the ability to withstand pressure.
She had already experienced this in her previous life.
"Does anyone have any objections?"
Everyone looked at each other, Xie Jin smiled and said nothing.
"Since there are no objections, let's decide on the first project to be tackled by our institute." Chang Xi concluded happily.
Chapter completed!
