Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 322 Mechanical Genius
In the steam engine factory, between the huge workshop and warehouse, Cheng Jiashuo was stunned.

He really did not expect that there would be such a super factory in the imperial city.

Originally, he had already thought about it. This time, no matter whether he won or not, he would go to the legendary Daming Military Equipment City, to see the magical Gecheng, and to see the legendary super factory.

Unexpectedly, he could see this legendary super factory in the imperial city!

What a big warehouse!

A lot of supplies!

What a lively factory!
If the Jin Yiwei who brought him hadn't asked him to wait for the emperor outside, he really wanted to get into the huge factory building to see what the inside of the super factory looked like.

He was watching all this in shock, when the Jin Yiwei on both sides suddenly bowed towards the gate in unison, and then bowed their heads respectfully.

Is this the emperor coming?

He turned around and saw that the emperor in dragon robes had come in with a group of people.

Oops, I was so fascinated when I came in, I was almost rude!
He quickly kowtowed respectfully on the ground: "Student Cheng Jiashuo pays homage to the emperor."

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Fortunately, this kid didn't have the weird arrogance of being a genius as he imagined.

He didn't know how many times he had experienced this scene, and he didn't know how many times he had seen him kowtow.

He can tell at a glance whether people are truly respectful from the heart.

This kid must be genuinely respectful from the heart.

Yes, Not Bad.

Originally, he thought that the candidate who gave the examiner a question would be a little arrogant, but now it seems that this kid is quite normal.

He walked forward with a smile, and said kindly: "Get up, there is no need to be polite."

Cheng Jiashuo hurriedly said "Thank you, Your Majesty" respectfully, and then carefully got up from the ground.

He is indeed not the kind of person who is proud of his talents, and he respects the emperor from the bottom of his heart.

Because he is from Huizhou, and he was born as a merchant.

If it weren't for the New Deal implemented by the emperor, it might be difficult for him to pass the exam, let alone come to the capital to participate in the examination.

However, he really didn't expect the emperor to summon him suddenly, and he didn't know why the emperor summoned him.

Therefore, he could only bow his head respectfully and listen to the hadith quietly.

Taichang looked up and down carefully, feeling even more satisfied in his heart.

This kid is really good, with a dignified appearance and a personable demeanor, at least in terms of appearance, he fits the image of the champion.

As for the inside, just try it out.

He didn't hesitate, and asked directly: "It is possible to make the measuring scooter you drew, have you tried to make it yourself?"

This of course.

Cheng Jiashuo cupped his hands without hesitation and said, "Back to the emperor, the students have done it."

Really do it yourself?

Very good!
Taichang said with great interest: "Why don't you make one for me to see now?"

Uh, this.

Cheng Jiashuo was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then said carefully: "Forgive me, the emperor, making this measuring scooter requires a lot of tools, and the students didn't bring them with them."

What is this.

I have already prepared for you.

Taichang immediately waved and said, "Principal, bring the tools here."

Hearing this, Prince Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered several trusted eunuchs to bring up several boxes of tools he had collected and put them in front of Cheng Jiashuo. Then he couldn't help asking curiously: "You can also do carpentry?"

School, school, school!

This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Cheng Jiashuo hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed: "The students didn't know His Highness the Crown Prince was there, so they were rude and impolite. Please forgive me."

What kind of courtesy is that?
The crown prince Zhu Youxiao finally met a like-minded No. [-] scholar, so he was very happy.

He waved his hand slightly, and then said with great interest: "I heard that the measuring scooter you drew is of bamboo and wood structure, and there are a few iron parts, do you really know how to make it?"

How dare you brag about such things in front of the emperor and prince!
Cheng Jiashuo nodded again and again: "Yes, Your Highness, the students really know how to do it."

Then do it quickly!

Prince Zhu Youxiao pointed to several boxes of tools on the ground and said: "Look at what tools you need to use, just use them. There are also guys who forge iron. There is no one here, but you can use copper instead. The copper ware is processed here." There are plenty of machine tools."

It is no problem to use copper instead of iron. The question is, what is a machine tool?
Cheng Jiashuo couldn't help but asked cautiously: "Your Highness, may I ask what this machine tool is?"

This is inexplicable.

For those who have never seen a machine tool, how do you explain to others what a machine tool is?
The prince Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and simply held Cheng Jiashuo's arm and said, "Go, I will take you to see it."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Cheng Jiashuo to the factory beside him.

this kid!
This is meeting a bosom friend.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help smiling, and then he waved his hand to order all the eunuchs to carry the toolbox, the wood and bamboo tubes prepared in advance, and silently followed the two to the factory building.

Prince Zhu Youxiao is indeed not very interested in running the country, but he is quite interested in various technologies, and he is not familiar with various machine tools.

After he took Cheng Jiashuo into the workshop, he pointed to the lathe that was turning the connecting rod and said, "Look, this is a machine tool. This is a machine tool that specializes in cutting outer circles. It's called a lathe. Do you want to use it?"

Cheng Jiashuo was dumbfounded at the moment.

He really didn't expect such a scene in the huge factory building.

It turned out to be full of machine tools that he had never seen before!
so many!
He had never seen this lathe before, and it was also the first time he had heard the name of this lathe.

However, he just took a look and understood what the lathe was for.

This lathe is really powerful. Turning the outer circle of copper rods is like cutting tofu!
He couldn't help sighing: "There is such a strange weapon in the world!"

Hearing this, Prince Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but proudly said: "We have a lot of this kind of machine tool in Ming Dynasty. This lathe is only one type, and there are many different types of machine tools in other workshops. How about it? You need to use this lathe ?”

This is naturally needed, but I don't know how to use it!
Cheng Jiashuo eagerly said, "This student is going to use it. However, the student is not good at using this lathe. Can His Royal Highness find someone to teach the students?"

Is it still necessary to find someone?
Prince Zhu Youxiao walked directly to the lathe next to him, patted the craftsman on the shoulder, and whispered something to him.

Seeing that it was His Royal Highness, the craftsman obediently turned off the machine tool and stood aside respectfully.

Prince Zhu Youxiao beckoned again, letting Cheng Jiashuo follow him onto the workbench, and then pointed to the things on the lathe and introduced them one by one.

Cheng Jiashuo listened carefully for a while, then looked at the operation of the craftsman on the lathe next to him attentively, asked a few questions curiously, then carefully turned the handle, and leaned the turning tool against the unfinished copper rod .

No way?
That's it!

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Cheng Jiashuo really knew it.

It's not difficult for those who are capable, but not for those who are difficult. He is a mechanical genius, so he can use this lathe after he understands it carefully.

He gestured the turning tool against the copper rod, then picked up the wrench to loosen the screw and carefully adjusted the position of the turning tool, then tightened the screw, opened the valve of the steam engine, turned the handle, and leaned the turning tool against the rapidly rotating copper rod. Tried it on a stick.

He was a little rusty at first, but he became proficient after a few operations.

It didn't take long before he processed the center of gravity of the measuring scooter!
Immediately afterwards, he asked the prince Zhu Youxiao respectfully and said: "Your Highness, I wonder if there is something in the shape of a ring here, just a little bigger than the ring."

This thing doesn't seem to exist here yet.

Prince Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and ordered the craftsman next to him to find a precision-cast copper pipe.

As long as this thing is clamped on a lathe, isn't it a ring?

Cheng Jiashuo also understood as soon as he took the copper pipe. He directly clamped the copper pipe to the lathe, then leaned the turning tool up to make a gesture, and then opened the steam valve, and started the car skillfully.

Soon, the ring for measuring the walker came out!

Seeing this, Taichang's eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

This guy is really a mechanical genius!
