Chapter 285 Ming Dynasty’s “Edison”

Bicycles became the business card of the new Ming Dynasty, earning Zhu Kezang a lot of silver dollars.

Once you have money, if you don't do anything, you will feel like there are ants crawling on your body.

Chengtian Mansion is at the forefront of technology in the world. If you don’t climb the technology tree, you will be sorry for this condition.

At night, after inspecting the Dongning General Manufacturing Administration, Zhu Kezang was ready to go home and rest.

As soon as he left the factory gate, there was a loud sound from the south. This sound was particularly clear in the silent night.

Zhu Kezang Xunxun said, and immediately thought: "Salianmu (a curse word in southern Fujian), what exploded was the laboratory where nitrocellulose was trial-produced!"

This morning, the experimental equipment was basically ready. He told the gunpowder factory and others the general process of making nitrocellulose.

The manufacturing method was still used in the TV series "From the Earth to the Moon", so it was naturally very rough.

Could it be that these brats at the gunpowder factory started "production" without permission?!

Because the gunpowder factory was too dangerous, it had moved away from the factory area of ​​the Ming Dynasty Manufacturing Administration and settled in an uninhabited open space south of Chengtian Mansion.

However, there are no ifs or do-overs in this world. After all, Huang Luzhuang's life is one of suffering and poverty. He has never tasted the taste of being understood and reused. His talent is dusty, and only a few words record his legend.

.

He couldn't see the situation clearly in the darkness. He was worried that there were explosives, so he ordered the guards to go around the fence and call the people inside.

Like magic, new gadgets appeared one after another under his hands.

Huang Luzhuang is a highly sophisticated technical talent that was deceived by Ma Hetai when he was pretending to be a Makassar businessman in the Qing Dynasty!

He is a famous scientist in the early Qing Dynasty.

He is known as the "Edison of the East". Some people once said that if he was reused by Kangxi, Chinese craftsmanship could be hundreds of years ahead of the West.

The Tatar rulers paid more attention to agriculture and dumbing down the people. These inventions were just novel gadgets that could not withstand scrutiny and could not be put on the table.

But Huang Luzhuang was different in this timeline. He was noticed by Zhu Kezang at a glance, and now his title is the second master craftsman of the new Ming Dynasty and the director of the Ming Dynasty Royal Gunpowder Factory.

At this moment, a group of Guards soldiers surrounded us from all sides with flintlock rifles, shouting: "No one is allowed to enter!"

The achievements of inventions are very remarkable. The "Edison" of the East invented the "automatic opera", the "self-propelled heat-repelling fan", the "cold and heat detector" and the "humidity checker" (cold and heat detector, that is, a thermometer), etc.

Some people say that if he had been born in the West, would he have been able to achieve great things?

If all his inventions are accepted, will China's science and technology be far ahead of the world and stay away from the series of tragedies that will follow?

Zhu Kezang asked again about the specific situation of the cotton warehouse and analyzed: "It should be a cotton dust explosion. Is anyone injured?"

Zhu Kezang hurriedly ordered his guards to prepare the carriage and galloped all the way to the southern suburbs of Chengtian Mansion, stopping next to an open space surrounded by a fence.

"Back to Your Highness, the explosion only damaged some objects, but luckily no one was injured or injured."

Suffering from the inability to gain access to more useful knowledge, after many twists and turns, he went to Yangzhou City when he was ten years old. Yangzhou was prosperous, with more new things, and some Western items were circulating in the market.

Every time he went out on the street, Huang Lvzhuang could always find some small objects from the West. While this broadened his horizons, it also gave him a higher level of understanding of handicrafts, and breakthroughs in manufacturing technology sprouted from handicrafts.

When he was young, he liked to go to the docks or the streets where craftsmen gathered to see some objects made on site. He also liked to read books about craft techniques. If he saw science and technology books written by Westerners at the docks, he would definitely learn about them.

Read it carefully and start making it step by step according to the pattern.

Huang Lvzhuang was born in Guangling in 1656. He was poor since he was a child and lost his father at the age of ten. Although his life experience was pitiful, it was written in the book that he was smart since he was a child and had a photographic memory. It can be said that Huang Lvzhuang was a very well-read man.

Talented person.

Seeing that Huang Luzhuang and others were still intact, Zhu Kezang breathed a long sigh of relief and asked, "What was the loud noise just now?"

Huang Luzhuang said nervously: "Back to Your Highness, there were sparks in the fire where Wei Chen was burning sulfuric acid and flew to the warehouse where the cotton was stored, and it suddenly exploded."

After having some basic research on craftsmanship, Huang Lvzhuang's vision no longer stopped at learning. He began to practice. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and it is also a key for Huang Lvzhuang to open a new world.

As long as a craftsman reaches the master craftsman level, he can call himself a minister when meeting the emperor.

When everyone was racking their brains for a piece of fame, Huang Lvzhuang seemed out of place. He even suppressed his talent completely, abandoned the four or five classics, and focused on how to make handicrafts, becoming increasingly obsessed with it.

In the original history, he also researched and dabbled in mechanical manufacturing. He built a machine that could make springs and used it to make machine parts, which greatly reduced the production time and made the craftsmanship more and more sophisticated.

It can only be said that he was born at the wrong time, and his excellent inventions cannot be reused.

Every inventor is a scientist. They spend their entire lives doing nothing but using their passion to write a dream that may not bear fruit. Talent is their touchstone and persistence is their required course. This is the case for Edison and the same for Huang Luzhuang.

Zhu Kezang's ace bodyguard Shen Cheng quickly shouted the command, and the guards guarding the laboratory rushed forward to salute. Then the craftsmen from the gunpowder factory, led by Huang Luzhuang, also rushed over.

Therefore, Huang Luzhuang was involved in the entire manufacturing process of Xin Daming's bicycles.

He also used machinery to make a robot dog that can watch the door. As long as someone knocks on the door, the robot dog will bark, just like a real dog barking. This is true and can be found in Du Niang Encyclopedia.

At only seven years old, he showed amazing talent and amazed everyone by creating a little man that walked independently. He suffered from a poor family, and his life could no longer allow him to continue to maintain his love.

His inventions not only involve all aspects of life, but also relate to the development of the country. With so many things that were only possible in modern times, it is difficult to imagine that they were made by a young man from the Qing Dynasty.

From today's perspective, many of Huang Lvzhuang's inventions can be applied to all aspects of life. However, from the perspective of people at that time, his inventions were just a useless show off.

According to the "Grand View of Unofficial History of the Qing Dynasty": Huangluzhuang once made a two-wheeled bicycle, which was eight feet long, could seat one person, and traveled eight thousand miles a day. Now, when you read it, aren't these the same bicycles that are all over the streets now?

He began to take apart the found items one by one, and then created another item by reordering, increasing and decreasing.

Making explosives in the seventeenth century was indeed dangerous. Zhu Kezang sighed, "Fortunately, nothing happened!"

Huang Luzhuang said: Your Majesty, as you said, cotton and other objects are flying in the air and will explode when exposed to fire!"

"Just understand. Since I'm here, I'll give you some guidance these days. Otherwise, you'll die before the explosives are made."

Zhu Kezang simply cleaned up the scene and asked Huangluzhuang and the others to rest first and then study the nitrocellulose together tomorrow.
