Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 853 Money is the basis of research
Seeing that Shi Hao's face was full of expectations, Fei Su couldn't help but smiled lightly, and said indifferently: "The important place of the country, where the military weapon is located, is naturally well-defended, oh, it should be where the weapon for harvesting human lives is located."

Shi Hao frowned slightly, feeling that the bloody smell of these words was too strong, which made him feel uncomfortable.

When they came to the gate of the independent house in Beiyuan, Liu Renfeng smiled and said: "Here we are, brother Zhiweng please."

"Here." Shi Hao's face was hesitant, obviously it was someone else's residence, trespassing on other people's house is very impolite, not a virtuous person's doing.

Fei Su saw Shi Hao's hesitation, and said with a chuckle: "According to what the head of the mountain said, Zhao Changde and the others are just a dead house. It's not easy for him to move the kennel. He has to be assigned a servant by the Armament Supervisor to clean it."

Shi Haoye also stayed in the academy for a while, and he knew a thing or two about certain terms that were popular in the academy.The dead house is used to describe those students who study hard behind closed doors, which is quite appropriate.However, it is not for ordinary people who can get the military supervisor to serve the servants, so he smiled and said: "The two first please."

Liu Renfeng is the head of the mountain, and Fei Su is an official, he must not lose his etiquette, even if others can't speak, the influence will be bad after all.

Just as they entered the house, a wave of heat hit their faces, making people uncomfortable.

But in the hall, two young men were sitting by the fire, attentively observing the boiling kettle on the fire. There was actually a conduction system on the lid of the kettle, and at the end was a small hammer driven by a gear mechanism.

The lid of the pot was continuously raised and lowered by the hot air, making a clanging sound, barely driving the levers and gears. On the table were many glassware and instruments that were more transparent than glazed glass, as well as some metal pipes and utensils. Just what to use.

Liu Renfeng smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "What are you cooking? Are you going to boil it in water at night?"

This time, Zhao Fei received Gu Liang who was about to go on a long journey. Both of them were born in science and technology. When he talked about the newly researched method, Gu Liang was also fascinated, and they discussed it together.

It was planned to go out for a drink, so I was immersed in it like this, and I couldn't control it. After Liu Renfeng called out, I realized it, and hurriedly got up to salute.

Liu Renfeng returned the salute with a smile, and said: "You two brothers, let me recommend a talented person for you." As he spoke, he looked sideways at Shi Hao, and said: "This is a talented scholar from Mingzhou, Shi Hao and Shi Zhiweng, who is also an assistant lecturer of the academy. "

Where did Zhao Fei and Gu Liang know about Zhiweng, the history of Mingzhou? Why do people who do scientific research have nothing to do with it?But the lecture assistant knew that his status in the academy was not considered high, but it did not delay their admiration for a long time, and Shi Hao also responded humbly.

"It's too hot here, please talk on the side porch." Zhao Fei was better at speaking than Gu Liang. Seeing that Liu Renfeng and Fei Su were sweating on their foreheads, he hurriedly invited them to the side porch to cool off, and took down the iron pot by the way. .

In the side hall, five people were seated, and the servant served tea and retreated. Fei Su said with a smile: "Under the influence of this charcoal fire, among the clouds and mists, have you ever realized the Dao?"

Zhao Fei rolled his eyes, curled his lips and said, "As long as you can do it, you can try it too, and keep your ****."

"I'm not this material! You should enjoy it yourself. It's not in vain that Mr. said that you are worth two troops of the Imperial Guard." Fei Su pinched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

Shi Hao's eyelids twitched, Zhao Fei and Gu Liang were worth two troops from the Imperial Army?What does this mean, is it a joke?He vaguely knew it, but he couldn't believe it.

"How is it?" Liu Renfeng asked again.

Gu Liang shook his head, and said honestly: "It seems to understand, but I can't hold it, and I will get something in the end."

"Since it's difficult to grasp, forget it, just a little steam, and the accumulated income will gradually change." Fei Su had a smirk on his face, and his words were quite hurtful.

Zhao Fei rolled his eyes at Fei Su, and said hastily, "You're right. The steam equipment that the head of the mountain mentioned has had little effect for so many years. I'm really ashamed."

"You are all working hard to improve xanthate, so you don't have the time to study steam." Liu Renfeng smiled understandingly.

Zhao Fei shook his head and thoughtfully said: "The principle is very simple now, the most difficult thing is that the loss during transmission cannot be controlled. Oh, according to the theory of Shanzhang, kinetic energy needs a lot of loss during transmission, but there is no Thinking of it being so big, there has been no good solution, and it has failed hundreds of times.”

"If the loss of kinetic energy is solved, the steam device mentioned by the head of the mountain will definitely be born. That is, it can use charcoal to boil water and turn it into kinetic energy to drive objects. It can even replace carriages and transport objects to high places with tripods."

Fei Su's eyes lit up, and he immediately saw the business opportunity, and hurriedly said: "The head of the mountain said it in the early years, don't tell me you haven't solved it yet?"

"It's a bit eye-catching, but it's still difficult."

"Oh, if it can be successfully developed, it can be used to drive sea ships, and the course and speed can be changed at any time, which can solve the disadvantages of relying on wind power. Our sea ship army can attack at any time and be invincible at sea." Fei Su is old-fashioned after all, thinking of business opportunities At the same time, the military value can be seen at a glance.

"The reason is very simple, but the operation is extremely difficult. Just maintaining the loss of kinetic energy is a lot of brain work." Zhao Fei said embarrassingly.

"Isn't it just a matter of money? It's easy to handle. There are many big merchants in Hangzhou. As long as you have the clues, I can get you whatever you want." Fei Su didn't seem to care. In his eyes, as long as he has money, he can do anything. thing.

Zhao Fei did not deny Fei Su's words, and had to admit that money was absolutely the most important thing for their research, and no one could refute it.

Whether it is the manufacturing and purchase of precision materials, or the cost of personnel expenses, large-scale experiments must be carried out in the end. Which one is not a large sum of money, without the paving of money, you will not be able to move an inch.

Take exquisite vessels as an example, just improving the flexibility of steel requires a lot of money investment and repeated experiments to gain some experience.The further you go, the greater the investment.

In particular, Yizhai and Sun Yat-sen Academy Medical Hall have jointly developed penicillium drugs, not to mention a large number of fruit purchases, as well as site equipment, that is, precision containers. After repeated trials, a hundred or a thousand failures are required to obtain a finished product. Precious to the extent that it cannot be more precious, Penicillium medicine is still unsatisfactory.

Many people have to refine for many days before they can use the amount for one person a day. Thinking about the cost and effort, it is simply maddening. If it is not for the huge potential for improvement and the exciting effect, they will almost give up.

Gu Liang is old-fashioned, and said seriously: "Money is not a problem, not to mention those merchants, even a lady can provide it, the key is that the accumulation is not enough."

"Well, sometimes, money can't solve the problem." Liu Renfeng rolled his eyes at Fei Su. He agreed that money could solve everything, and seized the opportunity to retort fiercely.
