Chapter 905 0900 [You still have to make machine tools first]
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhu Guoxiang opened his eyes and got up, feeling a little tired.
Du's status as Queen Mother Annan really gave Zhu Guoxiang a lot of attack speed.
There was even a sitcom in which Zhu Guoxiang single-handedly entered the Annan Palace and captured the Empress Dowager Du alive.
Du Shi was a little resistant at first, but gradually she was brought into the drama, and she was humiliated, humiliated, angry and stimulated.
Seeing Zhu Guoxiang sitting up and looking for clothes, Mrs. Du took the initiative to help him get dressed, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty has great physical strength, he is as strong as an ox!"
Zhu Guoxiang is also very proud of this: "I won't brag about anything else. I can beat many young people in terms of physical strength."
Mrs. Du complimented: "After following Your Majesty, I truly became a woman for once."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhu Guoxiang laughed happily, got dressed, went to wash and eat, and then went to inspect the progress of the sewing machine.
The situation is a bit bad.
The design of the yin and yang shuttle has been determined to be OK, but it is still easy to get thread jammed. And the longer it is used, the higher the frequency of thread jamming. Increasing the hole spacing can alleviate this situation.
Craftsmen and apprentices re-polished various parts and even redesigned parts, and finally it was able to be used normally for a while.
But this sewing machine does not use ball bearings, but an oiled wooden shaft instead.
After using it for a long time, the wires got stuck in several places!
When Zhu Guoxiang was depressed, he asked his son and craftsmen to continue studying, while he walked to the waiting room to the south.
"Meet His Majesty the Emperor!"
Two officials who were waiting to enter the imperial city by carriage quickly stood up and bowed to Zhu Guoxiang.
Zhu Guoxiang said: "No courtesy."
A carriage came quickly, and the two officials asked the Emperor to use the carriage first, and they would wait a few minutes to get on to the next carriage.
Zhu Guoxiang said: "No need, everyone get in the car."
The two officials hurriedly thanked them, feeling deeply impressed that the Emperor was so amiable and approachable.
They first got off the bus in front of the cabinet courtyard, stood firm, bowed again, and watched Zhu Guoxiang leave in the car.
Arriving outside Chui Gong Hall, the guards and eunuchs saluted one after another.
No one went in to report, so Zhu Guoxiang went straight into the palace.
Ju Ming put down his imperial pen and waved the eunuch, the layman and the living man to leave. Soon, only the father and son were left in the Chui Gong Hall.
"It's so difficult to make a sewing machine!" Zhu Guoxiang sighed and began to talk about the problems he encountered.
Ju Ming said amusedly: "You haven't shown up much this month, but you just went to make sewing machines? Awesome."
Zhu Guoxiang heard his son's strange words and couldn't help but ask: "Why can't we make a sewing machine? I saw that your Aunt Shen was very tired from doing needlework, so I wanted to make a sewing machine to make her relax. Really, I have become the emperor."
I won’t be able to rest for a long time.”
Ju Ming said: "Is it possible that the technological content of the sewing machine may be higher than that of the steam engine? Think about it, the needle rises and falls quickly, and other parts have to cooperate, and the accuracy may be on the millisecond level."
"That's indeed the truth." Zhu Guoxiang nodded and said.
Ju Ming said: "You have top craftsmen at your disposal, and they may be able to hand-make all the parts. But it is difficult to promote it in the market, and the gains outweigh the losses. It is really a waste to let many top craftsmen spend a lot of time making sewing machines.
Talented."
"If a sewing machine is used by the private sector and a part is worn or broken, should merchants and ordinary people be asked to immediately find top craftsmen to repair it?"
"I believe you can polish one by hand, but it can only be used for the Queen's leisure time. It is basically useless to the country and the people."
Zhu Guoxiang said: "Then I will make one for my wife. Then I will develop a steam engine first, and at the same time let the craftsmen modify the spinning machine and loom. In fact, there are already private craftsmen who have improved the cotton spinning machine, but the efficiency is still not high enough.
.”
"Brother, build the lathe first, that is the mother of industry." Ju Ming reminded.
"Who are you talking to? Big or small," Zhu Guoxiang said, "I have only seen CNC machine tools. How do you make original machine tools?"
Ju Ming complained: "If I could build machine tools, I would have asked someone to do it long ago. Let alone original machine tools, I have never even seen a CNC machine tool."
Zhu Guoxiang recalled: "At that time, I accompanied the leaders to visit, and there were experts who came to explain the CNC machine tools. At first, they seemed to talk about three axes. I don't know if I understood it. Anyway, I understood the three axes as three-dimensional coordinate axes. And then
The tool doesn't move, and the processed part moves along the three axes... Well, I only know these, what kind of CNC program is behind it."
Ju Ming came up with an idea: "Then don't make a three-dimensional coordinate axis. First make a plane coordinate axis, one that can move on two axes. Or even one with only one axis. If the tool is not strong enough to process metal, then
Let’s get a wood processing machine first.”
Zhu Guoxiang nodded and said: "That's okay. Let's make a woodworking lathe with a flat axis first, and then continue to explore and improve on this basis. After the woodworking lathe is perfected, we can then make a lathe that can process metal."
The original lathe was powered by pedals, and lathe work was definitely a manual job, and one could make sparks with two feet.
Ju Ming said: "This thing cannot be rushed. If you want to build a better lathe, the metal smelting process must be improved. The normal technology tree process is to first improve the smelting technology, then develop the machine tool technology, and then build the steam engine."
"Frying steel, pouring steel, and water hammering, aren't these enough?" Zhu Guoxiang asked.
Ju Ming said: "It is barely enough at this stage, but real steelmaking technology must be developed. The coke production process has been developed, and I have also asked the smelting plant to produce graphite crucibles, and I am asking them to find better combustion accelerants.
.The blast furnace is also trying to improve, and the superficial knowledge I know is no longer enough."
Zhu Guoxiang comforted: "Take your time, step by step, don't be impatient."
In ancient China, coke first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and became widely used in the mid-Ming Dynasty, even using the by-product gas of coke.
This is not a complex technology.
Seeing that his son was reviewing the memorial again, Zhu Guoxiang slapped his butt and stood up: "I'm leaving first."
Ju Ming asked: "Isn't that Du family good?"
Zhu Guoxiang suddenly turned around and criticized: "She is the queen mother of a country after all. It is too much for you to force her to come over."
Ju Ming rolled his eyes: "King Annan volunteered."
"The son volunteered his mother?" Zhu Guoxiang was greatly surprised.
"What do you think?" Ju Ming said, "I have never seen the Queen Mother Du. Who knows how old and ugly she is. Except King Annan who offered to sacrifice his mother, who do you think would ask for a Queen Mother?"
Zhu Guoxiang muttered: "Her son is really crazy."
But Ju Ming said: "Her son is very smart. A minor adoptive monarch was able to appease those Tuogu ministers, and also carried out internal and military reforms. He completed the reforms before he was twenty years old. During the reform period, rebellions arose, and foreign enemies invaded.
, all these troubles were solved by him. He also played a big ritual, replacing the ancestral temple priest with his own father, and took the opportunity to firmly control the power. So much so that when he turned twenty, he didn’t know what to do and ran away.
He goes to make elixirs to seek immortality and build large-scale construction projects. Do you think such a king would really be an idiot?"
"So powerful?" Zhu Guoxiang said in surprise.
Ju Ming said: "The surrounding countries are Xixia, Dali, Goryeo, Japan, Annan, Champa...the kings of these countries happen to be very wise and capable. We are very lucky."
"Isn't that Duan Yu a puppet king?" Zhu Guoxiang actually didn't care much about foreign countries. During his time in power, he mainly focused on improving domestic affairs.
Ju Ming said: "The kings of Dali before Duan Yu were all puppets, and they were even usurped once. Although Duan Yu was still suppressed by the Gao family, he was able to maintain his position firmly and was considered the most powerful Dali.
King. It’s just that the resources and environment are not good enough. He has already reached the limit of what he can do."
Zhu Guoxiang nodded: "It makes sense."
Ju Ming continued: "The king of Xixia, who was manipulated by his mother and powerful ministers since childhood, regained power by marrying the Liao Kingdom. Then he promoted civil servants to curb Brother Richard, changed his diplomatic orientation during the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and then resolutely turned to the Ming Dynasty.
Now he has secretly made friends with the Xiliao and Kelie tribes... Every move he makes is correct, and even the slightest mistake will result in his death."
"And the King of Goryeo was put under house arrest three times by powerful ministers, but he killed three of them. I heard from the ministers of Goryeo that this guy actually liked his aunt and wife very much. But the first time he eradicated the powerful ministers, he was ruthless.
My aunt, the queen, was deposed. The second time to eradicate the powerful ministers was so exciting that it could be made into a palace drama..."
"There is also the Japanese king who was made to have no dignity by his own father. His biological father was the Emperor of France and his son was the Emperor. He was caught in the middle and completely lost power. Now he is gradually taking control of the court. When the Ming Dynasty sent troops to kill him, it happened to be
This gave him an opportunity to regain his power..."
"None of these vassal monarchs is a fool!"
"Even the leader of the Yellow-headed Uighur has the appearance of a hero. If it were not for the control of the Ming Dynasty, the Yellow-headed Uighur would have probably unified Qinghai and would now be busy attacking Tibet."
"The two great Khans of the Klei tribe and the Mongolian tribe in Mobei can also do their best."
"Not to mention that there is a Yelv Stone in the Western Region..."
Zhu Guoxiang was too lazy to listen to his son's complaints and said with a smile: "You can take your time in governing the country. I'm building woodworking machine tools."
After Dean Zhu left, Zhu Ming sat back on the dragon chair, stretched out his hand to touch the velvet cushion, and suddenly felt a little tired both physically and mentally.
The Yellow River management project has been progressing smoothly, and it has been decided to release water and divert it next spring.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Northern Song Dynasty, great care will be taken in diversion, and the whole process will last four years. Every year, the amount of water flowing to the south will be increased a little, until four years later, the north flow will be completely blocked, and the artificial diversion of the Yellow River will be completed.
I don’t know where the envoy fleet is now.
The envoy fleet heading to Seljuk followed the monsoon ocean flow last winter, passing through Malacca and the Indian Ocean to Seljuk.
