Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- It will be dark the next day.
Mr. Zhao got up early and went to see Mr. Xu pouring night fragrance No way!
Recently, he became obsessed with running because Zhao Shizhen, who was in Kunshan, asked Zhao Shixi to send him a pair of running shoes.
What, you ask where did Xiwa appear? That day, I was playing piano with Liu Yuanwai's son, and he was the piano boy for Zhao Hao.
Talking about this pair of running shoes, its upper is made of soft and delicate calfskin, and the cutting and stitching are perfect. There is also a pair of "Zhao" characters embroidered with gold thread on the upper, which is very cool.
But what really excited Master Zhao was that the black soles of these shoes were made of Eucommia gum!
When making hot air balloons in Beijing, Mr. Zhao discovered that the craftsmen who made Aoshan lanterns would use a special glue, heat it and brush it on the silk skin, which can release water, flame retardant and make the silk airtight.
He thought it was fish bladder glue at first, but after asking the craftsmen, he learned that the main raw material of this glue was actually extracted from the bark of Eucommia ulmoides.
This made Mr. Zhao ecstatic. He always thought that the rubber industry of the Ming Dynasty would not start until his tentacles reached Nanyang.
But I forgot that Ming Dynasty had a substitute - that is Eucommia gum!
As the name suggests, this glue is produced from Eucommia ulmoides, a precious medicinal material that is specially used to treat kidney deficiency and egg pain.
But the leaves and bark of Eucommia ulmoides contain a large amount of Eucommia gum, which has the same chemical composition as natural rubber.
However, the molecular structures of Eucommia gum and rubber are different, which results in natural Eucommia gum not having the elasticity of rubber, but like a piece of hard plastic.
As a fan of "Approaching Science", Mr. Zhao still has fresh memories of how to deal with Eucommia gum. That's vulcanization.
Depending on the degree of vulcanization, natural Eucommia gum can be either elastic rubber or hard plastic. This characteristic of being soft or hard is called ¡®rubber-plastic duality¡¯.
The simplest vulcanization is to put Eucommia gum and sulfur together and bake it on the stove!
Of course Mr. Zhao doesn¡¯t know the specific ratio, roasting temperature, and seasonings.
I can only leave it to my eldest nephew who loves research to explore.
It has only been three months since this project was handed over to Zhao Shizhen, and Zhao Hao has put on the first pair of rubber running shoes in the Ming Dynasty.
And it was the eldest nephew who later became obsessed with making guns and couldn¡¯t help himself, otherwise it would definitely come out faster.
??~~
Mr. Zhao hopes that this pair of historic running shoes will be as effective as the Jiefang shoes of the 1970s and 1980s.
Who would have thought that after putting his feet on it and stepping on the ground, it would actually have excellent elasticity and softness, far exceeding his expectations.
¡°Perhaps he has forgotten what it feels like to wear sneakers. Anyway, Zhao Hao feels that his feet are suddenly wrapped, the soles of the feet are protected, and the knees are cushioned. I feel sorry for these shoes if I don¡¯t go for a run.
When he ran out of the camp headquarters wearing a pair of cleverly tailored shorts and shirt, accompanied by Gao Wu, he heard a clanging and crunching sound behind him, and smelled a pungent odor.
Following the smell, I turned around and saw Mr. Xu struggling to push a dung truck and staggering out of the barracks at the back.
There is a series of iron hooks hanging on the side of the car, and most of the hooks are hung with collected urine buckets and chamber pots.
At present, there are more than 2,000 reinforcements including prisoners and Wu Ji on the island. The camp is almost full. The original houses are not enough, and many more tents have been erected.
Jin Ke, who is responsible for the order of the entire camp, strictly prohibits open defecation. You must defecate in the hut during the day and use the toilet at night. Violators will be whipped and served.
This is not Zhao Hao's request. Mr. Zhao has always let Jin Ke take matters into his own hands.
This is the rule Jin Ke brought from the Qi Family Army.
Qi Jiguang discovered that as long as soldiers do not drink raw water and maintain good personal hygiene, the attrition due to illness in the army can be greatly reduced. Corresponding requirements naturally appeared in his military regulations.
After Tong Zigong continuously whipped dozens of prisoners and militiamen who violated the rules, no one dared to defecate in the open anymore, and even other aspects of discipline also improved a lot.
Zhao Hao covered his nose and was about to run away.
Behind me, I suddenly remembered Xu Kun¡¯s hoarse shout.
"Mr. Zhao, I am willing to give you ten thousand taels of silver, can you let me go?!"
Zhao Hao then turned around and ran away backwards while saying:
"I will give you 20,000 taels of silver. Can you continue to pay for one year?"
After Xu Kun died, Tong Zigong, who was about to be killed in a thousand years, couldn't help but raise his hands and said: "Young master, give me twenty thousand taels, and I am willing to die for ten years."
"Haha, I'll think about it."Zhao Hao rolled his eyes secretly, why is this guy so incapable of reading the atmosphere?
"Mr. Zhao, please give me some kind words. How can you let me go?" Xu Kun lamented again: "I can't live a day like this anymore."
"It depends on your performance. If you perform well, you will be allowed to go home for the New Year. If you perform poorly, I will pour night fragrance on Xishan Island for the rest of your life"
When Mr. Zhao ran to the gate of the camp, he suddenly stopped and laughed loudly: "By the way, if you want to go back immediately, it's not impossible."
"Ah, sir, tell me!" Xu Kun was very excited when he heard this. Although he had only been with the toilet for a few days, he felt that he had died in a sense.
He is willing to exchange all his wealth for freedom and a chance to be reborn.
"Let your brother do it for you."
Mr. Zhao said something that would make people angry, and he turned around and ran away without a trace.
"I, I knew you were a bad person" Xu Kun's angry scolding stopped abruptly, and a scream of 'ouch' resounded throughout the barracks.
??~~
After Zhao Hao ran out of the military camp, he went north to Yuanshan and ran along a black road towards the Jinduo River.
This road existed originally and was probably built by the original islanders.
On the second day after arriving on the island, Mr. Zhao organized a large search team of one hundred people to go into the mountains to find water banditswell, actually, they were looking for coal.
There is no coal, only limestone. Burning cement is a wishful thinking because the temperature cannot be reached.
Although he knew that the coal mines here must be visible from the surface, Xishan Island is so big that Mr. Zhao was prepared to not be able to find coal for a month.
But who would have thought that as soon as we rounded Yuanshan, we would see this dark road.
Mr. Zhao looked familiar to this road. He grabbed a handful of black stones and took a look. Sure enough, it was coal gangue
Then he and the search team followed this coal gangue road to the Jinduo River. After crossing the river by boat, there is a coal gangue road on the other side.
? Continuing along that road for a few miles to the north, you can see the black coal fields at the foot of the mountain
The search is over.
??~~
Zhao Hao originally thought that the residents on the island already had a history of using coal.
But later I asked Yuan Liu and found out that although the people in Xishan knew that the coal could be burned, they had never used it.
Because we are in the south of the Yangtze River with lush vegetation, there is endless firewood, and endless charcoal to burn. Who would not want to use choking and dirty coal?
You don¡¯t need such a high temperature to cook
The reason why people dig up coal fields is to use coal gangue to pave roads, but all the real coal is discarded like worn-out shoes.
It seems that the coal lotus root business in Jiangnan is no longer possible, which makes Mr. Zhao feel a little worried.
Fortunately, industrial coal for burning cement, bricks and even ironmaking has finally been found, which makes Zhao Hao feel very relieved.
ps. The fifth update, thank you to the new leader ¡®*(t_t)*¡¯. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
