Chapter 1069 Why Doesn't This Make Li Sheng Excited?
No matter what, Li Sheng was not really interested in the earpick. He was interested in the origin of the earpick as a slender but hard metal stick, or...
I am interested in when I can use the spring!
To Li Sheng, what Mrs. Li said was nothing... But at this time, Changle suddenly said, "This earpick is not uncommon. It is sold on the streets of Chang'an."
"Um?!"
When Li Sheng heard this, he became excited instantly!
…
When it comes to slender standard steel rods, Li Sheng is actually not completely unable to obtain them.
After all, if you think about it, you will know that the design of an internal combustion engine, no matter how simple and primitive the structure is, must still have a lot of rotating shafts. In fact...
The blacksmiths of the Tang Dynasty still had a way to turn standard steel into iron rods to make machinery.
But it's useless, because the cost of relying on blacksmith's craftsmanship is too high. Ordinary craftsmen can't make standard steel with extremely high hardness. There is a two-dimensional gap between that thing and ordinary iron materials. But powerful craftsmen...
…
Even if we don't talk about the cost of production, at least such talents are quite rare and it is impossible to find them at any time.
In short, you can get a small iron rod as a rotating shaft, but the cost is too high. Fortunately, a machine does not use too many such iron parts. The ones that use a lot are large ones, so this is not difficult to make.
But a large rotating shaft cannot be processed into a spring.
In addition to the machines used on the ship, the factory Li Er quietly established is also producing mechanical clocks. This thing also uses rotating shafts and tiny reeds with the same superb craftsmanship... But the price of this thing is also extremely high, and there is no need to worry about the cost.
question and has no reference value.
In short, the situation facing Li Sheng is that industrial springs cannot be obtained. The key is... the simple, efficient, and low-cost process of processing standard steel into iron bars is missing!
But the most embarrassing thing is that modern industry is a huge system. Any subdivided field that almost no one has heard of may have a doctorate or even an academician in charge.
Although Li Sheng is a science and engineering student, his direction is mechanical design, and he really only has a partial understanding of metallurgy.
What's more, in terms of forging, many things are not even "courses", but are completely "craftsmanship" in the factory. If you don't really work in that industry for a few years, you won't be able to master it.
And just like the later jokes said, the ball in the ballpoint pen looks simple, but the actual technical level... is not really very high, that paragraph is fake, but at least it can be said that it is not low.
And the spring happens to be a similar thing!
From this, we can imagine how high the cost of Li Er's phone lines were, and they were all thin iron rods... If it weren't for military and national affairs, Li Er would never have been able to do things like this regardless of cost.
At this moment, the reason why Li Sheng was excited was that this little iron rod... existed as an ear pick.
This means that now... the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty can actually process steel into daily necessities...
If this ear pick was decorated with dragons and phoenixes, Li Sheng would have no interest in it. It was equivalent to a luxury product.
But making such a simple ear pick means that its cost is very low.
And since the cost is very low...
This probably means that you will have a large number of cheap springs available in the future.
The presence or absence of springs has an impact on the difficulty of mechanical design, which is the difference between "getting started" and "nightmare".
How could this not make Li Sheng excited?
Empress Changsun’s main intention was to let Li Er be careful not to reveal his secrets. However, as a young man, Changle was very curious and had more knowledge than his elders in many aspects. No, after being guided by Li Sheng’s attention in this way, he recognized it at a glance.
I have seen this ear picker on the streets of Chang'an...
But after Chang Le finished speaking, he immediately felt a stern glance from Empress Changsun...
My dear princess, how do you know so much about the things on the streets of Chang'an? Huh?...
This child is really following her royal brother's example.
Empress Changsun was both angry and funny.
However, Li Sheng, who confirmed the origin of the earpick from Chang Le, was completely excited.
"The craftsmen of Chang'an are indeed..."
Li Sheng couldn't help but think of many historical backgrounds at this moment. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, many of the kings were Emperor Wu, and the handicraft industry in Chang'an was also quite developed. After all, warriors are a kind of "guys" who need to copy, and they like high-quality products.
"guy" guy.
Now it seems that the first ones to create new processes for steel at a low cost are indeed the craftsmen of Chang'an!
But when Li Sheng was so excited, Li Er and others all looked at each other, unable to follow Li Sheng's thoughts at all... Only Li Jing's eyes flashed deeply, and he thought of something in his heart.
"Uh... Could it be that the young master has thought of some new weapon?"
Li Jing asked with a smile!
Although Li Jing now knows Li Sheng with his true identity, and Li Sheng regards Li Jing as his idol... But Li Jing himself is very powerful, and he has no idea about Li Sheng's true identity and the importance of His Highness in Li Er's heart.
Very clear. And Li Jing also knew that Li Sheng was his savior in the Turkic battle, so...
Although they met with their real identities, Li Jing still respectfully called him son.
Of course, when Li Jing asked this, he didn't have high expectations in his heart, he was just curious. After all... In Li Jing's opinion, Li Sheng had already developed powerful weapons such as gunpowder and grenades that could conquer the world.
Loud noise, fire, destructive power... These three buffs are stacked together, and in Li Jing's opinion, rounding them up is the power of the gods. He has already developed the power of the gods, how can he always come up with more powerful ones? Although Li Jing has never seen Duo
It’s a dream, but I also know that people can’t always take out good things like sesame seed cakes from a treasure bag... I ask this mainly to respond to the situation, and to relieve the curiosity of the stunned majesty next to me.
.
But when Li Jing asked this question, Li Sheng immediately laughed!
"Hehehehehehe...Senior Wei Gong, don't ask this. If you ask, you will be invincible."
"With this thing... with this thing, maybe I can get Maxim!"
That’s right!
The thermal weapon revolution in modern times has changed from flintlock guns to various mechanical guns. The key is the spring, which can collect the recoil energy stimulated by ammunition into elastic potential energy, and then promote the automatic operation of the gun, greatly increasing the attack speed.
.And attack speed is the core attribute of guns in the early 20th century. The tragedy of the four long-distance combat ships can even be said in a sense that naval guns are not as good as the enemy's rapid-fire guns!
