The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 285 Magnifying Glass

Fortunately, although everyone was enthusiastic, they did not lose their sense of proportion. Shi Xingyu occasionally hid behind closed doors at home to write "Ge Er Guo" and did not go out, and they would not come to force him.

"Brother, Brother Yu has told me twice in the past few days, saying that he is too busy every day, because being the president slows down the progress of writing the script." Cheng Luanjing did not seem anxious for Shi Xingyu, Instead, he quickly came to ask me about the rest of the matter.

"Then how did you reply to him?" Lin Xiazhi cooperated and made a curious look.

Cheng Luanjing chuckled: "I said that the heavens will send great responsibilities to people, and they must first suffer from their will, their muscles and bones, and their bodies and skins. Brother Yu is a smart and capable person who can take on great responsibilities. He doesn't need to starve his body and skin. , It’s enough to strain your muscles and bones.”

"Brother Yu isn't angry, is he?" Lin Xiazhi thought, if he had been Shi Xingyu, he would definitely be pissed off by Cheng Luanjing, a bad friend.

"Why is he angry? Back then, the president was elected by us and he did it voluntarily. We believed in him." Cheng Luanjing had a point.

Now Shi Xingyu is only looking forward to a successor recognized by everyone, who will take over the role of the president.

After finishing the work at Qingdai Building, Lin Xiazhi asked Cheng Wenliu to go to the glass kiln to ask if the special glass he asked to make before was ready.

It was Lin Huzi's 40th birthday in two days, Lin Xiazhi thought about it and finally decided to give Lin Huzi a set of magnifying glasses.

If you want to understand the seeds, you can see how many seeds are ugly with the naked eye. Only by combining the magnifying glass with anatomy can you see the essence through the phenomenon.

Lin Huzi definitely doesn't understand things that are too small, such as DNA and cell structure. He must use a magnifying glass to look at the structure of seeds and flowers.

Without understanding how flowers turn into seeds during plant growth, it is impossible to take the step of hybridization. Lin Xiazhi hopes that Lin Huzi can fiddle with hybrid rice as soon as possible to increase production.

The glass plate is well made, and the convex lens is not difficult. After Lin Xiazhi said it, the owner of the porcelain kiln led his craftsmen to start researching it, and it was finished quickly. When Cheng Wenliu came back, he brought a box of polished lenses of different sizes. .

Just a piece of glass is easy to break, Lin Xiazhi asked a carpenter to rush to make the frame and handle. It is easy to make with the real thing, and two sets were completed in two days. The remaining convex lens glass is not so urgent. What? When the time is right, you can just give it to Cheng Jinyang, because Shiwaiyuan has not opened yet.

"Brother Xia, it's really magnified, and you can see it clearly!" Cheng Wenliu took a magnifying glass to look around the room, "It turns out that there is already a crack on this table, which cannot be seen normally. Change the table or ask a carpenter to touch up the paint?"

"It's just the small fine lines on the tabletop that are caused by cold winter and hot summer. There's no need to make a big fuss and replace it with a new set. Just touch up the paint." Lin Xiazhi didn't even look at him, and carefully arranged the magnifying glass for Lin Huzi , I'm afraid that the surface will not look good if it is stained.

Lin Huzi has ten magnifying glasses in this set, with different sizes and different magnifying effects. The outer shell is made of selected light ebony, which is light in hand and not easy to corrode. It is suitable for Lin Huzi to take the magnifying glass to the fields. .

"One set for Dad, where can I get the other set here?" Cheng Wenliu took a magnifying glass to look at all the big and small things in the room before putting them down with satisfaction.

This thing was proposed by Brother Xia, and Cheng Wenliu had to ask about his arrangement. The longer he stayed with Brother Xia, the more he believed in his previous guesses. One after another, they were all novel and interesting. really can make it.

"Put this set at home first, and give it to the family to play with. Let the glass kiln make a few more sets for the rest. I want to put one set for Qingdai Loufan, give a few sets to the county magistrate, and then give it to the second hall. How many sets will I get from my brother, do you and Dad need a magnifying glass?" Lin Xiazhi thought for a while and didn't have any special arrangements.

While talking, Lin Xiazhi put away the gift for Lin Huzi, and hung the set at home on a wooden shelf.

After listening to Brother Xia's words, Cheng Wenliu was stunned for a moment: "Brother Xia, do you mean you don't plan to sell it outside?"

Lin Xiazhi was at a loss: "No, why do you ask like this? If you want to sell it, you have to wait for the porcelain kiln to make more."

Cheng Wenliu explained: "I heard you said you were going to give it to the county magistrate, but I thought you were going to give the glass prescription to the imperial court again."

"Although glass is useful, it's mostly for decoration. I don't think it's necessary to give such small things to the imperial court. Giving a magnifying glass to the county magistrate is because some old scholars can't see things clearly. You can try it with a magnifying glass. If you are not sure, it will be fine." See clearly." Lin Xiazhi shook his head.

Glass can be used in many places, but he thinks it is unnecessary to give it to the court, so he doesn't plan to give it away. If he can make real reading glasses, he can give it to the court.

Let’s put it down for now and let’s not talk about it later. Now the owner of the glass kiln has not yet reached a high success rate in making glass. The cost of glass is high and the output is low.

Lin Xiazhi came up with something new, and Cheng Luanjing got the news and ran to their yard.

"What is this?" Cheng Luanjing gently touched the glass, seeing the glass like this, he thought it was some kind of decoration made of glass.

Cheng Luanjing didn't dare to pick it up to look at it. It was made of glass like this, the second brother is really willing to spend the cost.

"This is another kind of glass. I fired it in a porcelain kiln." Lin Xiazhi picked up a magnifying glass and stuffed it into Cheng Luanjing's hand, "The glass is fired into this shape to magnify things. I call it a magnifying glass. You hold this wooden handle Go see."

"Zoom in? It must not be easy to make this shape, I'm afraid it will be broken." Cheng Luanjing still didn't dare to move his hand, what a pity it was broken.

"It's okay, this is nothing, it's just glass with a different shape and a wooden handle on it, so it won't fall off after you hold it." Cheng Wenliu dragged his younger brother away.

Cheng Wenliu had already looked around the room just now, so he pointed out a small crack on the table to Cheng Luanjing and asked him to take a look with a magnifying glass.

"It's really magnified!" Cheng Luanjing gradually brought the magnifying glass close to the small crack according to the usage explained by Cheng Wenliu, and watched the inconspicuous crack become clear after being enlarged. It was simply amazing!

Cheng Luanjing used it once, and his admiration for the effect of the magnifying glass surpassed his mood of carefully guarding the magnifying glass, and he took the magnifying glass to look around the room.

Lin Xiazhi saw it and complained quietly in her heart. As expected of two brothers, the sequence of actions to see things is similar.

Cheng Luanjing bluffed more than Cheng Wenliu, and when he saw something, he had to recite it, and after seeing the inside of the room, he was not satisfied, so he ran to look outside.

He looked at the flowers, plants, trees, and mud and blue bricks with great interest, but Lin Xiazhi could only pull him and say that watching these things too much hurts his eyes, so don't keep looking at them.

Cheng Luanjing smiled at Lin Xiazhi, acted coquettishly and took away from Lin Xiazhi a magnifying glass that he used most conveniently.

After getting the magnifying glass, he immediately hid back in his yard. When Lin Xiazhi heard him go out, he murmured: "The ancients did not deceive me. The so-called investigation of things is the first to gain knowledge. We thought it was a leaf, but we used Look through the magnifying glass and see that there are many things inside..."

Gewu?There are still many ways to learn. There are veins and mesophyll in the leaves, and the cells inside can be seen with a microscope, and the cells are divided into different structures.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiazhi suddenly realized that he couldn't remember these things, he only had a general impression, I'm really sorry for the former middle school biology teacher, who returned it only a few years later.

It’s fine if you can’t remember it. Lin Xiazhi doesn’t have the habit of forcing himself. He now has a magnifying glass and will have a microscope in the future. People will discover this knowledge again one day.

The principle of a microscope seems to be a convex lens plus a concave lens. He can't remember how to combine them. The combination of these two lenses can make another kind of mirror: a telescope.

Thinking about it, Lin Xiazhi's thinking became more and more divergent. At first, he planned to make the glass and then make the mirror first, but the mirror was not made, because the convex lens was made first on Dad's birthday, and the plan could not keep up with the changes.

Porcelain kilns don’t do much work for firing porcelain now. The kilns used to burn porcelain have been converted into glass-burning kilns. The new ones are more straightforward and directly made into glass-burning kilns. When people talk about it, they consciously change their name to glass kilns.

The glass needed by Lin Xiazhi to decorate the jewelry shop has already been fired, and they are going to stock up a large amount of glass, waiting for the glass to become popular and make a lot of money after Lin Xiazhi opens the shop.

The convex lens has been researched, and the concave lens is not so fast. Boss Lan has an intuition that concave and convex lenses will become a killer feature of his glass kiln in the future.

He came to thank Lin Xiazhi with a gift, and he also wanted to ask him other questions.

Cheng Wenliu was about to go out, and when he heard the servants saying that Boss Lan was coming, he hurried over: "Boss Lan is here."

"Young Master Cheng is very old. I don't know how Mr. Zunfu is. I just came here to ask for advice." Boss Lan motioned for him to hold the gift.

"Today, Brother Xia seems to be in good spirits. I'll bring him over right away, and I'll ask Boss Lan to wait for a while." Cheng Wenliu asked Boss Lan to sit down.

Cheng Wenliu had already signed a contract with the porcelain kiln before, Cheng Wenliu and Lin Xiazhi were a little puzzled about what they came to the door for now, and discussed on the road what they would say later.

"Boss Lan, this is my husband Lang Lin Xiazhi." Cheng Wenliu brought Lin Xiazhi into the main room.

"Cheng Shaofu has admired his name for a long time." Boss Lan has done enough courtesy, and has a lower attitude towards Lin Xiazhi than Cheng Wenliu.

Cheng Wenliu and Lin Xiazhi looked at each other, and they couldn't understand Boss Lan even more. Could it be that something went wrong with the glass kiln these two days?

They thought it was wrong. Boss Lan would treat Lin Xiazhi like this because he knew that Lin Xiazhi was the one who came up with the idea of ​​glass, so in his eyes, Lin Xiazhi was the one who could lay golden eggs, so he would naturally support Lin Xiazhi even more. .

Boss Lan of the Glass Kiln and Boss Bai of the seasoning workshop have a good relationship. Boss Bai asked a few questions when he heard that Boss Lan and the Cheng family had cooperated.
