Chapter 31 New Technology (Part 2) (1)
Li Jun never expected that Huang Yongshan actually wanted to get the Newcomer steam engine. He was dizzy for a long time before he asked tentatively: "Can it be made?"
Huang Yongshan's answer was absolutely amazing. He did not answer if he could make it. Instead, he asked Li Jun, saying, "Your Majesty, is this thing of use very much? I am not sure if it is very useful. If it is not big, there is no need to spend too much effort."
Li Jun's eyes swept across Wen Tianxiang and his face, and saw that Wen Tianxiang and his face were filled with complex expressions of hope and disbelief. He nodded and said, "It's useful, useful, so useful. If this thing is made, it will not only increase our output, but also drive changes in all aspects. It can be said that it will trigger changes in an era. It can be used on a ship, build steamships, and build cars, so that it doesn't have to carry goods on shoulders or on backs."
The use of steam engines has indeed triggered changes in the times, and humans have freed themselves from the shackles of natural power for the first time. However, although this prospect is tempting, it is too great, so it is too difficult for Wen Tianxiang and the others to believe. After a long time, Wen Tianxiang still asked in disbelief: "Master, is this true?"
If Wen Tianxiang asked this question, he would definitely be regarded as a confusion, but he was an ancient man, so he didn't know what had been proven for history. Li Jun resisted the funny and said, "Of course it's true."
"That's great." Huang Yongshan almost jumped up and happily, and said with a head, "As long as it is useful, it must be made no matter what."
"Are there any signs of you so sure?" Li Jun knew that Huang Yongshan was not a person who liked to say unsure. He said he was sure that he could, so he asked this question.
"Go back to the emperor, Zhang Chaoxuan and I discussed it. Although it is quite difficult to build, it is still very promising." Huang Yongshan said with confidence. He immediately understood that Li Jun didn't know who Zhang Chaoxuan was and explained: "Zhang Chaoxuan is a carving worker and likes to carve on iron. He said that if it is useful, he would carve it out with one knife."
"The perseverance of the ancients is really amazing!" Li Jun sighed in his heart and said, "Caring on iron is not an easy task. This tool is difficult to find. If it is not hard enough, it cannot be carved at all."
As soon as he talked about technical issues, Huang Yongshan immediately became energetic and said, "The emperor doesn't know anything. We found that the hardness of the fine steel forged and quenched will be very high. It can be made of knives. There is no difference between carving on iron and carving on stones." After a pause, he added, and said, "Of course, this is for Zhang Chaoxuan." The implication is very obvious, that is, Zhang Chaoxuan's skills are very exquisite.
"The hardness of martensite is of course high. These ancients are really amazing. I have only made a few things out. They have taken my limelight and made them better than the other ones." Li Jun was amazed at the wisdom of the ancients in his heart. He knew that Huang Yongshan was a rare talent in technology. He rarely valued people so much. Zhang Chaoxuan must be very amazing what he said. His interest suddenly became quenched and said, "Can I let me meet Zhang Chaoxuan?"
"Your Majesty, look at what you said, you are the emperor, and it is his blessing to see him." Huang Yongshan said a little, "Prince, please wait, I'll call him."
"No, no, no, it's better for me to see him like this." Li Jun stopped Huang Yongshan.
Huang Yongshan said reluctantly: "Your Majesty, this is not suitable."
"What's wrong?" Li Jun said to Huang Yongshan: "You lead the way."
Li Jun's attitude was very firm. Huang Yongshan couldn't disobey any more, so he had to say, "Your Majesty, please come." He led the way in front. Li Jun and Wen Tianxiang and others followed behind.
After passing an alley and coming to a room, I saw a little old man with gray hair and thin figure, hunched over, and was carving on the iron block with the knives in his hand. His skills were really good. The knives kept waving in his hand. Every time he cut, a small piece of iron fell off, and the knife was smooth and neat. From Li Jun's perspective, even if he used a lathe truck in modern society, he was not as smooth as he did.
"If he were in modern society, he would be an amazing artist." This skill can be said to be perfect and amazing. Li Jun praised: "Good swordsmanship."
Wen Tianxiang, Liao Shenggong and others were also full of praise. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not believe that there were such strange people in the world.
Gundam's praise was a bit special, and he said, "This sword technique is amazing, it is even more flexible than me cutting the dog heads of a Tartar." Gundam's martial arts are very skilled and extraordinary, and he sighs that it is not as good as that of a rare thing. It is really because Zhang Chaoxuan's skills are too superb, which makes him convinced.
Zhang Chaoxuan, who was fully focused on the carving, woke up suddenly and looked at Li Jun and the others in surprise. Huang Yongshan hurriedly said, "Zhang Chaoxuan, come and see the emperor."
Zhang Chaoxuan was still immersed in carving matters, but did not come back to his senses. He was stunned and said, "The grass-given people meet the emperor." He was about to salute Li Jun. His voice was a little weak, and he was a little shy, and he obviously didn't like to talk.
Li Jun hurriedly supported him and said, "Old man, don't, don't. Who did you learn this carving skill from?" Li Jun was afraid that Zhang Chaoxuan would salute again, so he changed the conversation.
"Back to the emperor, Caomin's craft is inherited from the ancestors. It has been four generations since Caomin's great-grandfather." Zhang Chaoxuan answered respectfully.
Li Jun picked up the iron block in his hand and looked at it for a while, and praised: "It's really unreliable. What are you carving?"
"Back to the emperor, he is the carved parts on the steam engine." Huang Yongshan replied on his behalf, saying, "He said there are many parts. If he doesn't carve some first, he will be afraid that it will be too late and it will be a mistake."
"You are planning ahead and thinking about everything ahead." Li Jun sighed and took Zhang Chaoxuan's hand. He saw that his hands were covered with calluses, very rough, and many blood bubbles. The strength used to carve on iron and carve on stone is incomparable. Even a carving expert like Zhang Chaoxuan can't help but burst into blood bubbles.
If it were built by the steam engine, it would definitely trigger the change of an era. The significance is that it is not an exaggeration to use all the words to praise it. If you have any doubts, look at the impact of Britain after the "Industrial Revolution" on the world. With only a few thousand people, they have ruled half of the earth and created myths in human history.
"It is these calloused hands that will create a new era for the Chinese nation!" Li Jun stroked Zhang Chaoxuan's palm and thought in his heart, saying, "Old man, you must take good care of these hands. Your hands are really important to the Song Dynasty and China. Looking back, I ask Chang Yu to give you some medicine and treat it well."
Apart from carving, Zhang Chaoxuan rarely mentions his excitement, so he naturally won’t care who Chang Yu is. Huang Yongshan knew him very well and reminded him: “Doctor Chang gave you medicine, which is a blessing you have cultivated in your previous life. I’m not happy to thank you.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Chaoxuan thanked him a little mechanically.
