Chapter 47                                                             �

If Zhou Mengchen's worries were only limited to worries before.

After everything was arranged, at noon, the sun was the shortest, that is, at twelve o'clock every day. Under Zhou Mengchen's arrangement, the valve was officially opened and the water was poured into the flow. At the same time, the entire system began to operate.

Zhou Mengchen began to debug in a nervous manner.

Zhou Mengchen felt for the first time that debugging machines was a job of hard work.

Real strength is not exaggerated at all. Without the help system, two or three big men need to use their strength to fill their stomachs every time they rotate any mechanism. Sometimes Zhou Mengchen thinks about it again, such as the situation where the mechanism is touched and the entire grave collapses, which is understandable.

However, it is really difficult to understand that there are overall translations or other earth-shaking changes in the touching mechanism.

In fact, without the power system, some people feel that it is hard to step on the brakes. How can they touch such a large-scale mechanism with just one stomp?

"It turns out that I'm too stupid." Zhou Mengchen thought.

I spent the whole afternoon and adjusted everything into place.

Zhou Mengchen and others did not leave the palace, and were all in the false heavenly ritual, waiting for night to fall.

Time is fast, and the sun sets quickly. The moon and the stars rise.

What made Zhou Mengchen happy happened, and the sun and the moon were effective. No matter what time of day, as long as there was a moon and the sun, the light of both was accurately cast on the Bagua Platform.

Even the sunlight was too strong and it was a bit uncomfortable, forcing Zhou Mengchen to cover the sun with a layer of black veil and weaken the sunlight, which became hazy, just like the kind of lighting that was practiced in the secret room of a senior master in the TV series.

And the moonlight is not needed.

The hazy moonlight hits the Bagua Platform, and it really makes for a dreamy feeling that gathers the essence of the moonlight.

It's just that the moonlight is not enough.

Zhou Mengchen ordered: "Cover the moonlight."

"Yes." Yang Hongliang said.

There is no automated equipment here, and it is impossible to close the moonlight passage by pressing the button. You can only go up from the outside and block it with wooden boards.

As soon as he blocked the moonlight, Zhou Mengchen suddenly felt dark before his eyes.

It took him a while to get used to the light in front of him, which made him frown.

Zhou Mengchen observed the celestial phenomena at night in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise he would not have changed from a modern person to an ancient astronomer. He has seen this celestial phenomena many times. Today, when he looked at the imitation sky, he knew it was too fake.

Of course, Zhou Mengchen also knew that the technology today could not make the sky fake and real. But the biggest problem he could see was that the starlight was too dim.

Even he decorated the stars with relatively low visibility with various fragmented gems that can be luminous, which are much brighter than the stars in the sky.

Zhou Mengchen thought to himself: "What should I do? If I don't think of a solution, this is too far away."

Just as Zhou Mengchen was thinking about what to do.

Lei Dajiang and several other masters were also discussing how to solve this problem. They discussed it for a while and said, "Mr. Zhou, now we may have a solution. I don't know whether to talk or not?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "Let me tell me."

Master Lei hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, we are not very familiar with this method. We must let the imperial prison masters in the palace do it."

Zhou Mengchen actually had some thoughts in his heart. This situation was nothing more than an optical problem. Using lenses to expand the light source around it a little. But what should I do? Zhou Mengchen has not yet come up with a complete solution.

After hearing Lei Dajiang's words, Zhou Mengchen seemed to think of something and said, "What are the masters of the Imperial Supervision? What do you do?"

The Imperial Prison serves the emperor directly. The things they make are used by the emperor, and are generally mainly small items. Each one is the kind of pursuit of excellence and is passed down to later generations. It is either in museums or at auctions. It is either without a price or a series of small circles behind it.

Lei Dajiang said: "Inlay some crystal mirrors in these holes."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Crystal Mirror?"

Zhou Mengchen had originally thought that without colorless transparent glass, could it be possible to grind lenses with crystals? But he never expected that this could be said from Lei Dajiang.

Soon Zhou Mengchen realized that he really underestimated the ancients.

Just like there was no rumors in ancient times that there was no glass. In fact, there was glass in ancient times, but the effects of glass and porcelain were similar. In addition, glass was generally varied, so it was naturally seized by porcelain. Even at the end of the Sui Dynasty, glass was once called green porcelain. Even when Emperor Wu of Han had glass windows.

It's just the top luxury item.

It is just classified as porcelain.

Although there was no pure glass in ancient times, it did not hinder the ancients' use of light.

From the Warring States Crystal Cup, people suspect it is a modern fake, and there are also the Southern Song Crystal Bian. These pure crystal products, as well as the fire beads to make fire, which is to make fire in the lens. As for the Tang and Song dynasties, there are as many crystal mirrors as possible. Even now, there are various crystal mirrors in the hands of great officials.

Moreover, China is also rich in crystals, especially Haizhou is a famous crystal production area.

Zhou Mengchen's funds were sufficient.

Of course, I'm not afraid of spending money.

Zhou Mengchen did not say anything, and under the guidance of Teng Xiang, he customized hundreds of crystal lenses of large and small in one breath. Each one was calculated according to the direction in the sky to achieve the best effect, but there was still some error between reality and ideal.

No matter how accurate Zhou Mengchen's calculations are, in the end, it is due to craftsmen, or the problem of the arc of the sky, and various other problems. There are errors such as this and that.

Zhou Mengchen must debug and proofread one by one.

Some polished crystal fragments cannot be used and can only be scrapped.

Of course, Zhou Mengchen used to make public and private use and asked for a batch of high-quality products, but it was not understood by others.

In addition, Lei Dajiang also gave Zhou Mengchen a surprise.

Lei Dajiang designed a mezzanine for the outside of the fake Tianyi. The original intention was to waterproof.

After all, this fake Tianyi can be seen as a house with a round roof, but there are holes of all sizes on it. Once it rains, a large area will naturally leak.

Zhou Mengchen also thought of adding a lid outside to make it waterproof.

However, the finished product made by Lei Dajiang is quite different from Zhou Mengchen's expectations.

The reason is very simple.

Zhou Mengchen only thought about a lid. But Lei Dajiang also thought about how to use this fake heavenly craft in rainy weather. This is a question that Zhou Mengchen had never thought about. If this is a pure astronomical instrument, it would be fine if it was rainy.

Even the optical telescope of the observatory in later generations may not be able to be used on rainy days. What's more, now.

However, this time the construction has a very obvious personal intention, that is, the place where Jiajing practices personally, how can it not be used on rainy days?

It is also because Zhou Mengchen left a lot of space on the second floor, which also gave Lei Dajiang a room for operation.

So, Lei Dajiang lit a very bright light in the two rooms on the lower floor of the fake Tianyi, used bronze mirrors to form a light path, and finally projected it onto the lenses one by one. All the brighter stars, plus the sun, moon and five stars, have a total of more than 200 light projection points.

The light paths designed by Lei Dajiang can correspond one by one and not interfere with each other. Zhou Mengchen also has to admit that although these people lack theoretical knowledge, they can become one of the top craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty, and each of them has unique skills.

A special point.

The ancient bronze mirror is definitely not the dim and twisted look in TV dramas. What's more, you can just take a bronze mirror yourself and polish the sandpaper over and over again to create a mirror-like effect, let alone the top craftsmen in ancient times, which is simply an insult.

As for the refraction and reflection of light, although there is no specific theory, Shen Kuo also described it, which is called graphic art.

Only when things are done at this point can the final completion be considered. The initial preparation time is the longest time to polish it, but the construction is very fast. Next, let’s look at the final effect.
