Prince of Chaos

Chapter 462 Who is Tang Yin?
After Zhu Changluo accompanied Emperor Wanli through Wanli Street, he hurried to Xishan Institute of Technology.

This time Zhu Changluo came to Xishan Institute of Technology to see if the engineers in Xishan Institute of Technology could conquer the chime bell brought by Matteo Ricci.

This self-ringing clock is much more advanced than any other timing tool in Ming Dynasty.

If the craftsmanship of this clock can be overcome, with the guidance of Zhu Changluo and the thinking ability and hands-on ability of these engineers in Xishan Institute of Technology.

It is not impossible to derive more industrial manufacturing methods at that time.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo rushed to Xishan Institute of Technology in a hurry.

After arriving at the Xishan Institute of Technology, Zhu Changluo immediately went to the manufacturing team specially set up by the Xishan Institute of Technology for the imitation of chime clocks.

"How is it? Has the research been thorough?"

After Zhu Changluo arrived here, the first question he asked was about the dismantling and research work of the chime bell.

At this time, Li Xueshi, an engineer at the Xishan Institute of Technology who was working as a replica of the self-ringing clock, replied: "Your Highness, the structure of this clock has been fully analyzed."

Li Xueshi is a rising star in Xishan Institute of Technology.

Since the Xishan Institute of Technology was split, he has stood out in the Xishan Institute of Technology.

According to the rating of Xishan Institute of Technology, he is already a senior engineer.

Zhu Changluo said, "Do you have any blueprints?"

Li Xueshi immediately brought Zhu Changluo to a huge tool table.

Li Xueshi said: "Your Highness, this is the blueprint we copied."

Zhu Changluo looked at the blueprints on the tool table, all of which were meticulously drawn chime clock parts.

These parts are marked with detailed graduations and corresponding part numbers.

Zhu Changluo was very satisfied, and he said, "Can it be copied?"

Li Xueshi said confidently: "Yes!"

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay! Yes, your movements are much faster than Xishan Institute of Physics. Gu is very pleased! After the replica is made, Gu will reward you personally."

Li Xueshi said excitedly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo looked at these blueprints, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.

Then Zhu Changluo said: "The reproduction of light energy is only the first step. I hope that you can thoroughly study the principle of the self-ringing clock, and then introduce new ones based on it. Now this clock only has hour and minute hands, which is not enough. I hope You can make persistent efforts to add a chronograph hand to it, this hand is called the second hand! The second hand makes a circle, and the minute hand has a grid.”

After Li Xueshi heard Zhu Changluo's request, he immediately replied: "I must do my best to live up to Your Highness's expectations."

Zhu Changluo looked at Li Xueshi who was full of fighting spirit, and he liked it very much.

This Li Xueshi was a character who had never appeared before in history.

However, because Zhu Changluo has always attached great importance to the training of technical personnel over the years, this Li Xueshi appeared like a butterfly effect.

He was originally from a family of carpenters, who made furniture for generations for a living.

In his generation, he not only made good furniture, but also liked to make some weird gadgets.

In the traditional concept, these strange gadgets belong to the category of strange skills and obscene skills.

However, Zhu Changluo encouraged him a lot and asked him to study mathematics systematically.

After learning systematic mathematics knowledge, Li Xueshi's manufacturing ability has been further improved.

It is precisely because of this that he also passed the assessment of Xishan Institute of Technology and became one of the few senior engineers of Xishan Institute of Technology.

"Remember, the advancement of technology is endless. I hope that you can not only make a second hand in the future, but also miniaturize this self-ringing clock. If you can make it as small as a copper coin, I will not stingy with any reward."

Zhu Changluo encouraged Li Xueshi again, he is a little greedy now.

He wanted Li Xueshi to go one step further and let him make a pocket watch!

Unfortunately, this is a bit delusional.

Because the current material manufacturing technology is not enough to make such precise parts.

To make a pocket watch as small as a copper coin, it will take at least ten years of technological progress to achieve it.

After reading these, Zhu Changluo left contentedly.

He is now waiting for Matteo Ricci and Xu Guangqi to come to his door automatically.

Now Matteo Ricci and Xu Guangqi are indeed preparing to come to Xishan Huangzhuang.

Ever since Matteo Ricci knew that Zhu Zhengshou was the crown prince, there was always a smile unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.

He felt that he would soon complete his great mission of preaching the East.

When Daming officially agrees that the Catholic Church can preach in Daming, he may not be far away from canonization.

As a devout Catholic, Matteo Ricci's greatest wish is to be canonized by the Pope after his soul returns to God!
This is the highest pursuit of all Catholics in life!
Matteo Ricci is no exception, otherwise he would not have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to come to Daming.

"What laughing?"

Seeing Matteo Ricci always smiling without warning, Xu Guangqi finally couldn't help asking questions.

Matteo Ricci looked at Xu Guangqi, and said happily, "Xu, I feel that I am going to fulfill God's mission."

Xu Guangqi was surprised: "Really?"

Matteo Ricci affirmed: "Really. My premonition is very strong this time."

Xu Guangqi said: "It seems that the treasures you paid tribute really moved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Matteo Ricci grinned: "Yes. The crown prince is very satisfied with me!"

Xu Guangqi said: "Then I really want to congratulate you for achieving your wish."

Matteo Ricci prayed: "May God be with you and me, Amen."

Xu Guangqi followed Matteo Ricci and said "Amen."

Then, he continued to read the book.

In his eyes, only these books are God's final gift.

If it weren't for these books, Matteo Ricci's ability to speak so few Chinese would not be enough for Xu Guangqi, a child prodigy, to be baptized with him.

What really moved Xu Guangqi to be baptized was the knowledge of mathematics and astronomy from Taixi.

Xu Guangqi likes to study these unfathomable knowledge.

When he is studying mathematics and astronomy, he will feel that the charm of these knowledge fascinates him more than the principles of sages.

Matteo Ricci looked at Xu Guangqi who was reading seriously, and he couldn't help but sigh Xu Guangqi's eagerness to learn.

Matteo Ricci said: "Let's go to Xishanhuangzhuang tomorrow. I have been in the capital for so long, and I haven't seen the most prosperous Xishanhuangzhuang in Beijing, and I don't know what Zhu Zhengshou does in Xishanhuangzhuang. "

Xu Guangqi said: "Brother Zhengshou is either rich or noble. When I saw the folding fan in his hand that day, I knew he had an extraordinary background. If I read correctly, the surface of the folding fan should be made by Tang Yin."

Matteo Ricci questioned: "Who is Tang Yin?"
