Chapter 1102 Combination of military and civilians
"What's going on?" Liu Xie narrowed his eyes, raised a crystal clear lens, looked at it again and again in the distance, and couldn't help but feel happy.
It was indeed beyond his expectations that it could meet the needs of military lenses so quickly.
It was originally a good thing, but Tai Shi Ling had a conflict between the monk Fang Ling and even had a dispute in front of the imperial court.
Taishi Ling felt that the successful development of transparent glass was due to Zhou Qun's contribution, and it should not be counted just because Zhou Qun gave up voluntarily. Zhou Qun was just a waiter in the Taishi Office, and could not represent the Taishi Office, nor could it represent the Taichang Temple.
Therefore, the contribution you should give to Taichang Temple has to be given.
Shang Fangling believes that although Zhou Qun made great efforts in the process of studying lenses, he did not start well or end well. He did not make any suggestions for weight in the improvement of formula and the transformation of blast furnaces. Even if he had the results, he would be a minor one.
If you have not reached the point of dividing your merits, you can invite him to attend the celebration banquet at most.
In the final analysis, the reason is that Zhou Qun suddenly gave up his pick when he was finished.
Because they all knew that in order to develop lenses that can meet the requirements, the emperor spared no expense, and the rewards after success would inevitably be heavy. For the officials who have worked hard for several months, this is a reward that cannot be given up.
Therefore, no one of them wants to give in easily.
"What did Zhou Qun do?" Liu Xie put down his lens and asked lightly.
The Grand Historian answered first. "Back to your Majesty, Zhou Qun is developing a new telescope that can eliminate chromatic aberration."
Liu Xie understood after thinking about it for a moment.
When Zhou Qun wanted to watch stars, a lens with a small magnification could not meet his requirements, and the chromatic aberration problem was one of the obstacles to the magnification of the lens. This problem cannot be solved by adjusting the formula, so he can only find another way.
Is he trying to use a reflector?
According to Shang Fangling, Zhou Qun gave up the credit that he could get because he saw Cai Yan's article, and Cai Yan's article just talked about the issue of reflection. Although the surface reflection was not mentioned, Zhou Qun has been paying attention to this issue for a long time.
It is understandable to think that the surface can be enlarged.
However, the production of curved reflectors is also very difficult, so Zhou Qun thought things too simply.
"His color aberration research?"
"He has been studying the color difference problem, and even feels that the star change Yang Xiu mentioned may be caused by color difference, not the actual situation."
Liu Xie was shocked. "Can there be any article published?"
He had always had questions about Yang Xiu's experience, but he did not have a suitable telescope to verify it. Now he heard that Zhou Qun was also questioning this issue, and immediately became concerned.
He was not afraid of Yang Xiu's mistakes - science was to constantly question and correct mistakes - but wanted to know what kind of discoveries Zhou Qun had suddenly made.
Tai Shi Ling said: "No article has been published yet. Zhou Qun devoted himself to drawing design and had almost no time to write articles."
Shang Fangling curled his lips. "If you don't write it, you don't write it. What does it have to do with drawing design? Cai Lingshi is busier than him. Isn't there any articles published?"
Seeing that the Taishi Ling was about to roll up his sleeves again, Liu Xie quickly stopped them. "No matter what new equipment Zhou Qun wants to use, he will have to help him produce it in the future. You'd better be polite."
The Grand Historian was stunned and then a little embarrassed. "Your Majesty said, it's because he was arrogant."
Shang Fangjian snorted proudly.
The successful development of clearer lenses is only the first step. The Taishi Administration wants to make telescopes that can be used for astronomical observations, and Shangfangjian also needs Shangfangjian to make larger and better telescopes. There are many more people in the future when they ask Shangfangjian for help.
At this point, Shangfang Supervisor is confident and has a tight grasp.
It should be said that he has never been so tough since he joined the company. With the strong support of the emperor, these craftsmen who have always been despised by others finally became proud.
Liu Xie comforted the Grand Historian Ling a few words and asked him to pass on Zhou Qun to determine Zhou Qun's research progress. At the same time, he comforted the Grand Historian Ling. No matter what Zhou Qun thought, he would definitely consider Zhou Qun's contribution when rewarding merits, and would not let him go.
He did it in vain.
The Grand Historian went there with satisfaction.
Liu Xie immediately instructed Shang Fangling that on the one hand, we should sort out the relevant information, and on the other hand, we should hurry up and try to make several telescopes for testing. The successful development of lens materials is only the first step, and different lens combinations are also very critical, and only
Only qualified telescopes are truly successful, and now we strive for success
premature.
Shang Fangjian also left happily.
Liu Xie played with the lenses, thought for a while, then called Yuan Heng, added a few suggestions, and asked her to send them to Shangfang Supervisory.
First, we must strengthen the awareness of confidentiality and do not rush to publish relevant results. Especially for military telescopes, relevant details cannot be leaked.
Second, we are preparing to hold a material results release conference to find potential cooperation positions and monetize the results.
In order to develop more transparent glass, he has spent nearly a hundred gold coins and urgently needs to recover blood in order to maintain further development. The number of military telescopes demanded is limited, so it is definitely impossible to recover the money. Only civilian use can make profits.
The material properties of the present material can be used to make reading glasses, and it is no problem to make lenses for making fire, and can be fully introduced to the civilian market.
The number of craftsmen in Shangfangjian is limited, and civilian work can only be handed over to folk workshops.
Third, jointly developed a microscope with the Imperial Medical Department.
After Yuan Heng walked for a while, Zhou Qun hurried over, with a roll of drawings under his vagina, and his cuffs were covered with ink marks. As soon as he met, he hurriedly saluted and spread the drawings in front of Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty, this is my achievement."
Liu Xie took a look and it was indeed a reflector.
He didn't say it out loud, but he still patiently listened to Zhou Qun's explanation of his ideas. For him, real wisdom is the thinking method reflected in the process of discovering problems and solving them. The final result is not important.
As long as you have the right idea, after continuous iteration, the finished product will always get better and better.
If he doesn't pay attention to the process and only focuses on the results, he might as well just stuff the knowledge to them.
But so what? They still know the reason, not the reason. What he gave, and what he still has in a hundred years, will not make much progress.
Seeing that Liu Xie listened seriously, Zhou Qun was even more excited and there was a pile of white foam on the corner of his mouth.
After Zhou Qun finished speaking, Liu Xie encouraged him and asked him to find a way to complete the trial production of the product as soon as possible. After all, theory is just a theory, and only by making it into physical objects can he know whether the theory is feasible.
Zhou Qun was a little annoyed. "I was about to ask Your Majesty to make the decision, but Shang Fangjian refused to cooperate."
"Are you too busy, or can't understand your design and don't want to waste time and energy?"
“It’s both.”
"Then do you think this is OK?" Liu Xie had an idea for Zhou Qun. "You publish an article first for colleagues to discuss and verify whether it is feasible in theory. Then find other Liuli workshops to see if they are interested in participating.
Development. I can provide some money. If it is done, I can also let them sign the title of Taishi in the future."
Zhou Qun was skeptical. "Can this be possible?"
Liu Xie smiled. "How can you know if you don't try?"
Seeing that Liu Xie insisted, he did not mention a word and issued an edict to Shangfangjian, Zhou Qun nodded helplessly.
