To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen didn’t understand how he could make money just by sending photos of his clothes and the like.
But if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. He is naturally very happy about this matter, and he immediately agreed: "Okay, no problem, absolutely no problem! Then... will I take pictures for you now?"
"..." When Liu Weichao heard this, it was his turn to be speechless. Was he too impatient?
When he came to his senses, he immediately said to Emperor Chongzhen: "There is no rush now, the software has not been developed yet. The most important thing is that I first think about what it should be made, and then start after I think about it!"
"
Speaking of this, Liu Weichao added with a smile: "If I were rich, at least I wouldn't have to work overtime every day to make money. I would have a lot of time, so I could give you more help, check more information, and even
A lot of information costs money. For example, the glass before was actually paid for by me!”
"Ah..." Emperor Chongzhen heard this and said quickly, "Okay, okay, I will definitely do my best to help you make more money. That will also help me!"
It’s great to have this awareness!
Liu Weichao listened and said with a smile: "Since you said so, let me give you another piece of information so that you can make more money!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his eyebrows immediately rose, and he immediately shut up and waited for Liu Weichao to speak.
"Aren't you already able to make glass?" Liu Weichao said with a smile, "Then let's get some high value-added glass products. A simple one is the Hooke microscope. If you want ten times more profit,
It’s no problem!”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes immediately widened and he quickly asked: "What is this? Is it easy to make? Can it really make ten times the profit?"
Liu Weichao knew that he wanted to popularize science, so he simply introduced him: "This Hooke microscope was invented by a Westerner named Hooke. But in your world, he was probably only about ten years old. This thing made
It is the first tool for humans to observe the microscopic world, which is of epoch-making significance and is a good thing that will shock people of your time!"
After a pause, he added: "Hook's method is very simple, but he has kept it secret for more than two hundred and fifty years. In other words, this is his unique business and cannot be copied by others. Think about it,
It’s something that can shock people very much, and it’s a unique business. You don’t have the final say on the asking price, right?”
Emperor Chongzhen was a little stunned after hearing this. When he came to his senses, his eyes were full of small money. He wanted to urge Liu Weichao, but he was the king of a country, so he couldn't let go, otherwise he would look too impatient!
Fortunately, Liu Weichao didn't let him wait, and said to him: "I'll hang up first and send you the information. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. Oh, by the way, you must not understand something, I'll give it to you directly."
answer!"
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little unconvinced. Didn't he say that this was simple? Why did he conclude that he didn't understand something?
What if, what if I happen to know?
Thinking like this, he decided to think about it himself, and if he still didn't understand, he would ask Liu Weichao again.
Hooke was able to make a single lens with a diameter of 2 to 4 mm and a magnification of 120 to 270 times, and use it to observe microorganisms as small as one micron (1 μm). This technology would not be available until the 1950s.
Only then was the mystery revealed.
It turns out that this kind of convex lens is not ground at all, but is made by burning glass into juice and then using gravity to form a natural convex lens.
The simple method is to first bake a thin glass rod, which is the kind of thing commonly used to stir beakers in chemical experiments. Then hold both ends, roast the middle part over a flame until it becomes soft, and then pull it in half.
At this time, the original middle part becomes elongated. Then, hold the thin end diagonally over the fire and grill it carefully. The melted glass juice will flow down the half of the glass rod until
When it reaches the tip, it will condense into a teardrop-like glass bead.
That's the secret that Hook has kept for more than two hundred and fifty years.
If this was the case, Emperor Chongzhen might really understand, and there was no need to ask why.
The key is that the microscope is still related to the focal length. Emperor Chongzhen didn't know anything about these basic knowledge of optics.
Even if he doesn't understand and pretends to understand, he doesn't know where to start!
So, he had to ask Liu Weichao obediently about the basic knowledge of optics.
Just like that, he was in the room, video chatting with Liu Weichao. After a long time, he finally understood the principles and methods of the Hooke microscope.
Seeing that he understood, Liu Weichao smiled and said: "From now on, this will not be called the Hooke microscope, but the Chongzhen microscope and will leave its name in history!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very happy!
He was anxious to let the craftsmen do it. When he wanted to end the communication, Liu Weichao thought of something and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "My friend who shares the same house wants a Feiyu suit. Can you take a photo and show it to me?"
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he said to Liu Weichao: "I am in the glass factory, and no one around me is wearing a flying fish suit. Why don't you wait? I will immediately send an order and have someone come over wearing a flying fish suit."
!”
"Ah?" Liu Weichao asked a little surprised when he heard this, "Don't you have any Jinyi Guards around you?"
When he thinks about it, no matter what, there must be something, right?
It seems that the Han general is also a member of Jinyiwei!
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "The Feiyu suit is a gift, not something that ordinary imperial guards can wear."
After he finished speaking, he also had a feeling that this time, it was Liu Weichao's turn as if he didn't understand anything!
After hearing this, Liu Weichao smiled and said: "So that's it. I always thought that anyone who was a member of the Imperial Guard would wear a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife! It seems that my knowledge of the Ming Dynasty is still very shallow.
Yes..."
As soon as he said this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he froze there.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw him like this, he thought he was a little ashamed, so he comforted him and said, "It's actually nothing. After all, it's been over four hundred years. It's normal that you don't know!"
As soon as he said this, Liu Weichao came back to his senses and said to Emperor Chongzhen with a look of surprise: "Haha, I just thought of another idea, how to make my software!"
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be happy when he saw him so happy, and he quickly asked: "Is this an idea that can help you make money? If I can help, just say so!"
"Although you can't make money directly, of course, you can also make money directly, but it's not good!" Liu Weichao said with a smile. Seeing that he seemed to have confused Emperor Chongzhen, he directly expressed his thoughts.
