Chapter 497: The Telescope is Born


The scholars in the distance were secretly frightened, not only because Shen Chong was able to recruit a large number of Shanyue people and his strength had soared, but also because of the strict organization and discipline of the Eastern Navy and the arrows that seemed to be asking for money.

So far, there is no imaginary exchange of short soldiers, the two sides are arrows and arrows, stone bullets are flying in the sky, Shen Chong has trebuchets, Yang Mansion in addition to the arrow tower, there are also a large number of trebuchets, there is no need to locate at all, because the enemy in front is too dense, the stone bullets shot out are almost empty.

The scene of flesh and blood flying is disgusting, the timid are pale, sore, and weak, and need to hold on to the railing to barely stand firm, of course, there are also people who are bold, only to feel that the blood is boiling, and they shout loudly.

Wang Ying's Jing Xiangjun did not go into battle, observing Shen Chong in the back, and secretly sneered.

Shen Chong because of the hatred of losing his son and the hatred of seizing property, his style of acting is almost crazy, and there is a tendency to get out of control, but Shen Chong is Wang Dun's old general, and Wang Dun is not good at deposing Shen Chong at will.

However, judging from the scene, Shanyue's battle was obviously undisciplined, and Shen Chong's own troops were also in the back, reluctant to go into battle, so even if he relied on the strength of the crowd, it would take at least a few days to break through the Yang Mansion.

Tancheng.

Yu Xi's observation of Tancheng was completely different from Yu Yan's superficial and strolling, and with Yang Yan's acquiescence, he went deep into various workshops to get a first-hand understanding, but what he saw and heard surprised him.

There are spinning machines and looms driven by water power, the scale of which makes him staggering, the speed of the cloth, the large quantity, let him be frightened, and compared with the hand-woven homespun cloth, the warp and weft are more uniform, and the thickness is more neat.

He saw the paper mill again, the white paper, wide and large, strong and tough, far beyond the famous Zuobo paper.

He also saw the printing workshop, where a book came out of thin air.

Even Dongzheng Chemical went in and walked around, but he couldn't understand it On this day, after Yu Xi's repeated entanglement, Yang Yan finally let go of the arrow building workshop for him to visit, after passing through the guards on the inner and outer three floors, he was stunned, in the open space in front of him, there were hundreds of blacksmith furnaces, in front of each furnace, there were several people operating, the process was not understood at all, only to see batches of arrows and three-inch short arrows were produced.

In the corner of the workshop, there were dozens of people building a huge furnace body several feet high, Yu Xi couldn't help but lean over and asked, "What is this doing, what is this furnace for?"

A worker was laying refractory bricks mixed with graphite and clay, and said without looking back: "This is called a blast furnace, which is dedicated to iron treatment, and one furnace can produce 10,000 catties of iron."

"How is that possible?"

Yu Yan's face was full of disbelief.

Yu Xi waved his hand, he didn't want to believe it, as a Gaomen clan, he didn't know how much iron Jiangdong lacked, what was the concept of a furnace of iron ten thousand catties, but in his heart, he believed it, and there was an unspeakable fear in his heart.

The Eastern Navy, or the future Ming Army, is no longer just a matter of having enough food and food, and being united, but luxury, extravagant, with plenty of iron, and the armor can be built without restrictions "Yu Gong, Yu Gong" At this time, a Qianniuwei hurried over.

"Oh" Yu Xi turned around.

Qian Niuwei arched his hand and said, "General, please ask Yu Gong to return quickly." “ Yu Xi looked at the sky, and it was almost over, so he nodded and said, "I'm tired."

At that time, the scholars were not simple literati, almost both civil and military, and the three of them rode all the way back to the city, and when they rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already dark, and they saw Yang Yan holding a cylinder in his hand, leaning on his eyes, facing the direction of the moon.

Cui Wan and Diao Xie on the side, and even Xi Jian, had a shocked look on their faces, as if they had seen something most terrifying.

"Yang Fujun" Yu Xi arched his hand.

Yang Yan put down the cylinder and said with a smile: "Yu Jun came just in time, Yang was lucky enough to finally make an astronomical telescope, please take a look." ” Yu Xi took the cylinder in Yang Yan's hand, the whole body was made of iron sheet, divided into two sections, one was thick and the other was thin, and both ends were inlaid with a transparent round object, and he couldn't help asking: "Yang Fujun, this is the astronomical telescope" "Yu Jun knows it at a glance" Yang Yan smiled and nodded.

Yu Xi put the letter to his eyes suspiciously, but suddenly, he was dizzy and almost didn't fall.

Yang Yan said speechlessly: "Yu Jun, you took it the other way around, with the small head facing the eyes and the big head facing the moon." ” "Hey, hey" Xi Jian laughed dryly, when he looked at it before, he also took it for granted that his eyes were on the big head, no matter where Yu liked to go.

Yu Xi showed embarrassment, changed directions, put his little head in his eyes, and looked in the direction of the moon, and suddenly, his whole body was like being struck by lightning, and after the severe earthquake, he froze The moon in his eyes, yellow and red, quite different from the original bright white, but this is not the point, the point is that the moon is very large, and on the surface of the moon, he sees patches of black shadows.

In fact, the reason why it will be yellow and red is also a matter of no way, this is a serious color cast, can polish the concave and convex mirror, because with gasoline and crucible, you can directly cast quartz liquid in the mold, after many experiments, there will always be a success, and then a little polishing.

But the problem of chromatic aberration, Yang Yan really can't solve it, this needs to use the theory of color dispersion and dispersion, and this is Yang Yan's knowledge blind spot, of course, to eliminate chromatic aberration There is another way, that is, to use a lens with very small curvature, but this will inevitably bring about the lengthening of the mirror body, and increase the number of embedded lenses, under the existing technical conditions, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

In the final analysis, what Yang Yan is solving now is the problem of whether there is anything to do, and the improvement is a matter for the future.

Diao Xie, Cui Wan and Xi Jian looked at each other and smiled, when they first got the astronomical telescope, the strange and unspeakable world in the mirror was indeed shocking, not much more than Yu's liking.

Gradually, a smile appeared on the lips of the three old fellows, perhaps even they themselves were not aware of it.

"Yu Jun, you can twitch the cylinder at the end of the big head forward or backward, and the distance can be adjusted."

Seeing that Yu Xi had not moved for a long time, Cui Wan reminded.

"Oh" Yu Xi did as he said, first retracted, the moon became smaller, and then stretched forward, the moon gradually became larger, and when it reached the top, the black shadow on the moon showed its true face, and it was a circle of vague rings.

"From my brother, I can see the Guanghan Palace" Yu Yan asked curiously.

"Never" Yu Xi reluctantly removed the telescope, handed it to Yu Yan, shook his head again, looked at Yang Yan with a complicated expression, and sighed: "This thing is really a divine thing, and Yang Mansion Junguo is a strange person."

Yang Yan smiled: "Since Yu Jun likes it, I will give it to Yu Jun." ” "Oh" Yu Xi was greatly moved, but he still reluctantly excused himself and said: "How can a gentleman take the favor of others" Yang Yan waved his hand generously: "It's okay, I can make one or a second one, Yu Jun doesn't have to be polite." ” "This" During Yu Xi's time in Tancheng, he had a very happy conversation with Yang Yan, and he had to be warmly entertained, and now he was always embarrassed to take away the astronomical telescope, after all, Yang Yan was completely different from the humble man he imagined, and he couldn't help but feel the heart of friendship.

Of course, it is only about making friends, Yu Xi has vowed not to be a scholar for the rest of his life, and naturally treats Yang Yan as an equal, and the scholars at that time did not have the consciousness of learning a good martial arts all their lives and selling them to the emperor's family.

Yang Yan looked at him with a smile.

That's fine Let Yu Xi excuse himself, he was really reluctant, so he had to grit his teeth: "Then Yu is disrespectful." “ Yang Yan stretched out his hand and smiled: "It's not early, the hall has prepared a little thin wine, please" "I'm tired" Yu Xi arched his hand, pulled the dull Yu Yan, and walked into the hall with Yang Yan and the others.

The dinner was very rich, there were sweet and sour big carp, a pot of stew, a crystal elbow, a sheep scorpion soup, a green onion tofu, and a total of more than ten dishes, exuding a terrifying aroma, but Yu Xi was absent-minded, as if the world's top food could not match the attraction of the astronomical telescope to him.

After a while, the dinner ended hastily, Yu Xi took Yu Cheng to leave, and as soon as he returned to the post house, he opened the mirror tube and looked at the sky.

Until Yu Yan washed up, Yu Xi was still standing in the ice and snow, like a sculpture, his hands were red from the cold, but he was still motionless.

Yu Yan stepped forward and found that the direction his cousin was facing was not the direction of the moon, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Cong, what are you looking at, it's cold outside, it's better to wash and sleep early, and it's not too late to watch it tomorrow." “ Yu Xi turned a deaf ear.
