Seeing the clock on Li Sheng's piece of paper, everyone immediately looked over.
Mud, it’s hard to post the answer, so I have to take a closer look.
But this look...
But everyone immediately looked embarrassed.
That's right...
Just as Ma Zhou guessed.
This clock is indeed a top-notch mechanism.
But this machine technique is extremely complicated.
Inside the small clock, there are countless small copper cakes with teeth, chains, bearings...
It seems extremely complicated at first glance, even...
Even more complicated than a steam turbine!
Except for the hanging thing in the middle, which should be a copper rod, the other parts...
Everyone saw that nine of the ten orifices were connected, and one orifice...
Pull the switch!
Now it’s time to pull the plug, pull the plug directly.
I can't understand it at all!
This level of complexity, except for the Holy Marquis himself, is probably...
However, everyone's reaction was not beyond Li Sheng's expectation.
Li Sheng went on to say...
"You don't need to understand the complexity of this thing for the time being. As for the more complicated pocket watch... you don't need to know this for the time being."
"I will complete the design work. But in fact, producing this thing is not as difficult as you think."
"Based on the conditions we have now, we can make it in a few days."
"How many days?!"
…
As soon as Li Sheng finished speaking.
Be it Wu Meiniang, Ma Zhou, or anyone else...
Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Sheng blankly, with a trace of fear in their eyes...
Such a complicated thing will take a few days to complete...
Wouldn't this cost my life?
What the hell...
It’s ridiculous to think about it. How could this be completed in just a few days?
Ma Zhou couldn't help it anymore, "Sheng Hou, I remember this steam turbine. It took us several months. This is more complicated..."
"No."
Li Sheng interrupted Ma Zhou, "The manufacturing of steam turbines is slow. First, it is difficult to make replacement solutions for seals and difficult to find materials, so we can only take our time."
"The second reason is that the steam turbine... is a marine equipment and is too big. All the parts are large and difficult to process."
"But the clock is not that exaggerated. The height of this thing, as marked on the drawing, is about 1.8 meters. At this height, all the parts inside can be held by one person with one hand, and it is not that
Disaster."
What Li Sheng said...
Everyone was stunned, but they also reacted.
Indeed, at first glance, the steam engine thing...not talking about the whole thing, just talking about the parts, is clearly a moving thing that can be danced by a giant spirit...
But this "sitting clock" is not that huge. The parts inside...
Putting aside the complexity, first of all, the size is indeed not that exaggerated.
Since people can hold it with one hand, processing it... doesn't seem to be that difficult.
Then, Li Sheng said again...
"The size is not exaggerated. We can directly order parts from nearby steel mills and solve the problem."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately remembered.
Yes……
Hangzhou is an important town in Jiangdong, and there is a steel factory set up by the imperial court!
Wouldn’t it be enough to order parts directly from the steel mill?
Everyone has already seen the steel production capacity of the steel plant...
Even Wu Meiniang knows that the weather in Jiangdong last year was not so smooth and the weather was just so-so.
But because the imperial court helped the people replace their farm tools,
The hoe was replaced with fine steel, and the rake was replaced with a curved shaft plow. The annual grain production increased by several percent...
Now that we have the convenience of a steel mill, it would be a fool's errand to not take advantage of it.
Li Sheng smiled slightly and added one more thing.
"And I want to remind you that the material of this clock cannot be made of rusty steel because it will have to run for many years, but brass."
"The processing of brass is even easier than steel."
When Li Sheng said this, everyone became excited.
From this point of view...this matter is really interesting!
really……
Shenghou is still awesome!
Li Sheng chuckled lightly, but thought of something and muttered to himself...
"In fact, the establishment of the steel plant and the provision of farm tools were just incidental. This is the real purpose..."
However, Li Sheng does not intend to popularize this truth with everyone for the time being.
Having said that, people can't form a concept.
How can such a large investment in steel plants be used in places other than agriculture? This is obviously unscientific...
Most people will think so.
Li Sheng paused and finally spoke.
"So our next task is to order parts through steel mills. But at the same time, I would like to remind you that this part is still somewhat complex. In order to save time as much as possible, I need you to help me recruit a group of experienced people.
Master, do you all have confidence?"
When Li Sheng asked, the matter was settled.
Everyone was in an uplifted mood and sat at attention. They knew that this was a necessary part of Li Sheng's order and had long been used to it.
"have!"
Li Sheng smiled and said, "That's good."
"In addition, I also need several top jewelry masters to perform more precise processing... This is for the pocket watch."
"Pocket watch?"
Li Sheng suddenly said a new word again, Wu Meiniang, Ma Zhou... everyone was stunned again.
However, Li Sheng smiled slightly, but did not explain again, otherwise it would be too shocking and people would not be able to digest it...
"As for this, you don't need to ask for the time being. You just need to know that compared to the clock...this pocket watch is the most important. Adjourn!"
…
Within a few days after this.
Li Sheng's auction house opens auctions every day.
Sometimes they are antiques, sometimes they are exquisite weapons, from gorgeous carved bows to domineering Fang Tian painted halberds...
Although the value is not high, it has maintained its popularity very well.
After all, people are still very interested in these legendary weapons.
but……
Because there is nothing particularly eye-catching, gradually, the discussion in the streets and alleys is also slowly fading...
After all, the most attractive things are the most valuable. This is an eternal truth.
During this period...
Everyone in Su's mansion was not idle either.
The person who took the picture of the Li Sheng Auction House venue design was none other than the Jiangdong Su family, that is, Su Dashou.
And this design drawing, naturally... appeared deep inside the Su family's mansion.
In the past few days, Wang Jing and Pei Ji's group have naturally seen the drawings.
In fact, one of the key reasons why Su Dashou spent a lot of money to buy this blueprint was to dedicate it to Wang Jing and others and gain some credit.
When Wang Jing and others suddenly saw Li Sheng's drawings, they were naturally overjoyed.
Good guy, this Li Sheng...
In the past year, the Tang Dynasty has been able to get wind and rain, and he has become a self-propelled inspiration king in human form.
