The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 508 Craftsman’s Reflection Channel

In the capital, Li Xiaokun secretly cried a few times because he missed his mother, but Grandpa Huang told him to send him back when the weather was cooler.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to go to the public school to listen to the old Hanlin's lectures, which is really boring.

Ever since Li Kun wrote that 600-word essay, the emperor could tell that the rest of his grandsons were not on the same level as this little guy.

His memory, logical ability, books he has read, and the world he has seen are several blocks away from other children.

The education of future successors to the throne should not be mixed with the rest of the royal descendants who want to be rich and idle.

So the emperor called Song Jianming, Song Chenxu, Xiao Jinrong, and Jiang Yuanchao into the palace in turn to give lectures to Li Kun.

In addition, every seven days, Li Xiaokun also goes to Zhaoyue Primary School where Niu Hesheng lives to attend classes for two days. The purpose is to give him the opportunity to get in touch with real people.

Those people will be his subjects in the future, and the emperor hopes that he will have some contact.

In Taiyuan, Song Qingyue's science journal recently received a contribution from a shipbuilder at a shipyard in Fujian.

The article is very long, the language is very colloquial, and the person who wrote the article would express some strange emotions from time to time, which made Song Qingyue very happy.

But the words are rough and the rationale is not rough. This article researches and summarizes four failure cases of Fujian Royal Shipyard in the past ten years.

The first case is that after the battleship is loaded with cannons, there will often be severe ups and downs.These jolts will be much more severe than without the cannon.

This is obviously abnormal, and not a small problem for a battleship.

When warships shoot, how to ensure the stability of the hull has always been a difficult problem that major shipyards want to overcome.

According to the article, he was puzzled at the beginning, but after reading a recent popular science article on structural mechanics analysis methods in "Science Magazine", he suddenly felt enlightened. After applauding the flattery of His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Jin, he went on to conclude a set of theories that the "center of gravity" and "buoyancy force point" are inconsistent, which leads to the instability of the hull pitch.

Then, the author of the article lamented that he was ignorant and not very good at calculation, so he could not calculate the center of gravity and buoyancy force point accurately for the time being, but he put forward a point of view: this mistake can be avoided in advance through calculation , instead of having to wait until the ship is built and put into the water for trial sailing to know whether a new ship model is good or not.

The second case is the Apocalypse VII, an ambitious project of the Fujian Shipyard three years ago.

The keel of Apocalypse VII is much longer than that of ordinary warships, and the deck has changed from a single layer to a double layer, which can carry a full 72 cannons.

This battleship was once highly expected, and even the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Navy called it the strongest warship of the new generation.

The ship took two full years to build.

On the day when Apocalypse [-] was launched, the wharf was crowded with people, and all local officials from Fujian came to visit. As a result, shortly after the warship was launched, it encountered a not-so-severe sea breeze, and the hull stood in front of tens of thousands of people at the wharf. The face slowly fell, and then sank!
The author of the article once again spent hundreds of words expressing his regret.

This incident happened just last year. At that time, there were many memorials for the impeachment of local officials in Fujian, and some people clamored to replace the director of Fujian Royal Shipyard.

However, the emperor didn't take off his black hat. He only asked the local officials to fish up the sunken ship and study it carefully to find out why it sank.

The boat was not picked up in pieces until February this year.

Restoration was completed in April.

After restoration, the boatmen found that the keel at the bottom of the boat was deformed and cracked!

Then the author finally began to analyze why the bottom keel of the ship was deformed.

The reason lies in the streamlined design of the bottom of the ship, which results in a large buoyancy force on the bulging belly of the ship, and a small buoyancy force on the two ends, and because the hull of the Apocalypse [-] has been lengthened, and the number of cannons on the deck is more than that of ordinary warships. , Let the bottom of the boat be cracked by the buoyancy of the water.

Here, he humbled himself again, saying that he was ignorant, and boldly proposed a solution: installing vertical supports in the middle of the hull, and shortening the length of the hull.

Song Qingyue can understand these two cases. The remaining three cases involve more details on ship design, and there are quite a lot of terminology in them. Song Qingyue is a bit confused.

After analyzing the case, the author of the article said a lot of good things about the literacy class and the teacher of the literacy class. Finally, the conversation changed and he entered the spit session again.

The Tucao shipyard is full of officials who don’t understand shipbuilding at all. Not only are they corrupt and accept bribes, but they also fabricate fake craftsmen’s household registrations to defraud the court of money. In addition, they suppress workers who really understand ships. Otherwise, if they object, it will be like Speaking of the Apocalypse No. [-], some craftsmen suggested that the keel should not be lengthened at will during the construction, but these people were warned by people who came to the factory as supervisors based on their relatives. The person who designed the ship this time was the concubine of a certain adult in Fujian. Brother, half brother-in-law, let them stop talking nonsense.

Song Qingyue couldn't laugh anymore when she saw this.

After Li Zhao came back at night, he immediately threw this article to Li Zhao.

He knew more about boats than Song Qingyue, so he would naturally know that the boatman who wrote the article was a very capable person.

The diagrams in the article are meticulously drawn. If it weren’t for the typos that pop up from time to time in the article, as well as those broken-mouthed emotions, the writers of the article are a bit like those engineering theory masters in the college.

Li Zhaoyiyan lowered his head and began to read the article seriously. At first, he laughed while reading, but he couldn't laugh anymore.

Lin Wanfu came in to remind the two of them that it was time to eat, and Song Qingyue took Li Zhao to the front hall for dinner.

"What are your plans?" Li Zhao asked Song Qingyue while holding a bowl.

The author's signature on this article: Anonymous Shipbuilder, dare not use his real name.

Song Qingyue bit her chopsticks and said: "I think, first send someone to bring money to reward the gentlemen of the literacy class of the Fujian Shipyard, and tell the people of the shipyard that I will be responsible for all the expenses of the literacy class in the future. Take over the literacy class. Then send someone to secretly visit who the person who wrote the article is, and help you collect the problems of improper employment in the shipyard."

Li Zhao's chewing movement faltered, and his eyes looking at Song Qingyue became darker, with a faint fire in the bottom of his eyes, and a flirtatious arc rippling from the corner of his mouth, Song Qingyue blushed, and even felt that this man was teasing him.

With a chicken claw in her mouth, she raised her foot and kicked Li Zhao's calf: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Zhao laughed softly, lowered his eyes, the shadows of his eyelashes were reflected on his cheeks, and said slowly: "Young lady is so beautiful when she gnaws chicken feet."

"Li Zhao! Can you be a little more formal when talking about business!"

Li Zhao still smiled: "I just think that my wife is getting more and more clever. Your idea is better than mine. How about it, I will make a list of the royal factories for you tomorrow, and you will list all the factories of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The literacy class that controls the factory will be taken over, and you will be directly responsible to form a completely independent system. In the future, if the craftsmen have any ideas, they can directly talk to the gentlemen of the literacy class. All expenses will be paid from the private treasury of the father, my lady What do you think?"

Song Qingyue snorted: "I'm going to be tired again!"

Li Zhao hastily stretched out his hand like a dog and pinched the back of Song Qingyue's neck: "The lady is willing to suffer from this?"

Song Qingyue patted Li Zhao's hand away and said, "It's okay to leave these news to me for the time being. In the future, who should be responsible for such news, you can think about it carefully. Besides, you have to speed up the construction of the telegram network." , otherwise it won’t take too long for the news to come and go.”

"Good advice!" Li Zhao happily leaned over and kissed Song Qingyue on the cheek.

She patted the article that Li Zhao had put on the chair, and said, "Find someone to polish this article, and I will publish it in next month's Science Magazine."

Li Zhao nodded in agreement, but thought in his heart that he would write the pen himself to help polish it. Of course, the passage saying that the officials in the shipyard don't know how to build ships and are corrupt will definitely be deleted. He thought for a while and said: "Science Shouldn't the academy open a new subject related to shipbuilding?"

Song Qingyue laughed, and thought of it: "I have this idea, but don't worry, we must accumulate some talents first. In addition, I think, or build a new science academy along the coast. Zhejiang, Fujian , or Guangdong, what do you think?”

Li Zhao raised the corners of his lips as if thinking of something happy, stared at Song Qingyue with burning eyes, and suggested in a low and seductive voice: "At that time, let's say that we want to choose a new college site and bring children. , How about revisiting the old place in the south?"

"What are you looking at? Look at the big pagoda tree you threw me down?" Song Qingyue looked at Li Zhao with a little complacency. When talking about things from her childhood, there are only two things that can hold this stinky man's past!

Gee!
Li Zhao shook his head, resigned himself to his fate and said, "Why did you say I owed you so much at that time?"

"Ha ha!"
