Chapter 944

"Xianggong, can you really make this object!" Princess Changle asked on the way back to her house.

Merton nodded and said, "it's not difficult. You should have seen the prototype of this kind of ware."

Princess Changle said, "I've seen it?"

Merton nodded and said, "that's well killing! It must be a well killing reduced to palm size!"

"Well killing!" Princess Changle could not help thinking. She naturally saw well killing. This is Merton's famous work. It not only solved the problem of draught of countless people, but also gave people all over the world the ability to protect themselves in the face of drought. The good harvest of Datang in recent years can be attributed to well killing.

Merton explained: "the so-called syringe is just the reverse application of the principle of well killing. Well killing pumps water out of the ground through pressure, while the syringe uses pressure to inject the liquid medicine that has been inhaled through pressure."

"That's it?" Princess Changle said strangely.

Merton said with a wry smile: "of course it won't be so simple. If you really want to inject drugs into people, you still need to create a needle, a hollow needle!"

The whole syringe has no difficulty, but a hollow needle is a difficult problem for hundreds of years. It is time to really test the Mohist ink technology.

…………………………

"Hollow needle!"

In Mo mansion, Lao Zhang came in a hurry and was stunned when he heard Merton's request. There was no problem in forging a needle. Even the most ordinary craftsman could do it, but a hollow needle baffled the most powerful craftsman of Mohism.

"Young master, do you want to make some concealed weapons?" Lao Zhang asked carefully.

Merton was very angry and said with a smile, "what concealed weapon? It's a medical device made for doctors, especially for the treatment of empress Chang sun. Yes, I don't care what method you use, you must make this needle in the shortest time, even if you mobilize the power of the whole Mohist village." Merton said calmly, Now, there is only the last step left in the treatment of empress Chang sun. You can't get stuck in this step anyway.

Lao Zhang's head looks dignified. Since this needle is related to the condition of empress changsun, who is also the mother of Princess Changle, the mistress of the Mohist school, there must be no loss in making this needle.

"I'm sure Lao Zhang will do my best," Lao Zhang promised solemnly.

Lao Zhang tou, who got the task, immediately went back to Mojia village. When he announced that Merton's task was to make a hollow needle, all Mojia craftsmen were in an uproar.

"How can this be possible? The needle itself is already a tiny object, how can it be made into a hollow." the needle is made of steel. The owner of the steelmaking workshop is Zhang Mu, the second son of Lao Zhang tou. Zhang Mu shook his head and denied.

"Since it's the young master's request, it can be done naturally. Which time did the young master miss?" Lao Zhang cut his head and nailed the railway.

"How about using the method of casting Buddha?" Zhang Mu had an idea and suggested that the Mohist school had undertaken the Buddha casting business of the Buddhist school. The Buddhist school was very happy. The bigger the Buddha statue, the better. Naturally, it is impossible to use all the real materials and all the hollow casting.

"As long as I rotate the needle while casting it, it will form a hollow." Zhang Mu talked about the hollow technology, which is like a treasure.

Lao Zhang nodded and said, "you can try this strategy."

"Since it's to cure the empress changsun, naturally we should use the best Mohist steel!" Zhang Mu said proudly. Under the leadership of Zhang Mu, a group of Mohist craftsmen came to the workshop specializing in the production of steel cables for Weishui bridge. Everyone nodded. It really has the best steel in Mojia village.

Merton led the crowd to the fiery steelmaking furnace, looked at the dark red rolling molten iron, and said in a loud voice, "gentlemen, let's start!"

Those who can be summoned by Lao Zhang are all skilled craftsmen of Mohism. Under the leadership of Zhang Mu, all craftsmen work together to create needle molds in the shortest time.

Lao Zhang personally poured the red flowing molten slurry into the small mold mouth, but found that what they thought was too simple. Such a small entrance was full of air and could not be injected at all, but reluctantly injected some. Such a thin steel wire was soon cooled and formed. Even if it was rotated vigorously, it could not form a hollow.

The first attempt of Mohist craftsmen failed, and the hollow casting method could not be used where the needle eye was large.

"No, if we can try the drilling method," frowned tie Ping. Tie Ping is also a rising star of the craftsman generation of Mohism. He usually presides over the four wheeled carriage workshop. The most commonly used method is the drilling method.

Lao Zhang hesitated and said, "it's common to drill holes with soft wood. However, if we can turn the size of the steel needle, I'm afraid it's difficult to write!"

"But it doesn't hurt to try!" tie Ping said confidently.

It was obvious that Tieping also failed and returned. Such a thin steel needle, not to mention whether there was such a tie and hard brick, was easy to break the steel needle and could not be operated at all. Finally, tie Ping only drilled a thumb thick steel pipe to cross the job.

Lao Zhang said with hatred: "the young master made the hollow needle to cure the empress, not to murder the empress. Do you want to pierce a hole in the empress's Phoenix body with such a thick steel pipe?"

Tie pingdun ran away, but he spread his hands, which is the most advanced level of drilling method.

"For the sake of today, there is only one way, that is roll method!" said a Mohist craftsman carefully.

"Roll method!" Lao Zhang's mind moved. He was very familiar with the roll method. Just smash the iron sheet thin, and then beat it continuously to curl it slowly until it forms a circle. In the era of backward technology, the roll method was usually used to make circular objects.

"Such a small syringe can also be rolled." tie Ping said angrily. He doesn't believe that he can solve the problem that his drilling method has not solved, and the most backward drum method can solve it.

Zhang Mu said cautiously, "now in Chang'an City, the public losers are the best at using the drum method. The public losers use the drum method to build the chimney of the public loser furnace."

Lao Zhang raised his eyebrows and said, "nonsense, the craftsman of reel method can't. I think what I was best at was to build reels and ask for advice from the public losers."

Although the relationship between the public losers and the Mohists has eased, they still compete with each other and compare secretly. Lao Zhang is unwilling to be compared by the public losers.

At present, Lao Zhang was unwilling to show weakness. He picked up the hammer and copied the old technology again, and began to use the drum method to create a cylinder with a large needle tip.

It has to be said that Lao Zhang's skill is extraordinary. With his superb skill, a cylinder the size of a rigid needle is quickly formed.

"Master is awesome!" a group of Mohist craftsmen complimented one after another.

Lao Zhang's head could not help showing a trace of pride. However, when he assembled the hollow cylinder and the injection equipment he had already built, he did not find an embarrassing problem in his own experiment, that is, the hollow steel needle made by the drum method is extremely poor in rigidity and easy to bend. In addition, there is a more serious problem, that is, the sealing performance of the hollow needle made by the drum method is extremely poor, It's easy to leak. Once used, the drugs in the syringe can't be injected into the body at all. I'm afraid they will all leak out.

"I'd better consult the public loser!" although Lao Zhang didn't want to bow down to the public loser, it was related to the condition of empress Chang sun. It was natural to hope for success one day earlier.

Public loser!

Public losers have been enjoying a good life recently. As soon as winter comes, it is the best-selling season for public losers. Public losers have received soft orders. In addition, the construction of the bank treasury of the Mohist bank has greatly increased the reputation of public losers. There are countless aristocratic families who come to find public losers to build the Treasury. In addition, public losers' new locks have not only received a large number of orders for four-wheel carriages, It is more sought after by the people.

With these three pillars, the public losers have really gained a firm foothold in Chang'an city.

"Mohist School for help!" when the public loser received Mohist School for help, he couldn't help but be surprised.

You know, although the public losers are mixed, they are still far from the flourishing Mohist school. The Mohist school asked the public losers for help, which naturally surprised the public losers.

"Hahaha, Mohism still has today!" the public transport wheel laughed happily.

Gongshuhong was surprised, but he was not complacent. Instead, he said, "don't be careless. Even the artifacts that are difficult to live in Mojia village can't be done easily."

The public loser Hao nodded solemnly. Only those who really understand Mohism can know how powerful the Mohist craft is and how deep the accumulation of Mohist technology is.

"Hollow needle!"

When they saw the Mohist's request, they were stunned.

"Are you sure the Mohists didn't mean to embarrass us!" the public loser frowned.

Gongshu Hong shook his head and said, "I heard that the Mohists have jointly launched the Qinglong plan with doctors for the condition of empress changsun. I think this hollow needle is the key."

Now the condition of empress Chang sun is not a secret in Chang'an city. The public losers have naturally known about it.

"It really took no time. The Mohists tried their best to exclude the Buddhists and wanted to invite the queen. Finally, they got stuck in this step. If my public loser could do it, wouldn't it surpass the Mohists." the public loser moved in his heart.

"I'm afraid this so-called hollow needle is not so easy to make, otherwise it won't be difficult for the Mohist school." public defeat Hao Ning said.

"Success or failure, you'll know as soon as you try!" Honglang said.

This is related to the condition of empress Chang sun. If he can make contributions to it, he can not only surpass the Mohist School in reputation, but also please the emperor. This is a rare opportunity for the public loser.

At present, Gongshu Hong personally operates a knife and creates a hollow needle with the most exquisite roller method of Gongshu family.

It has to be said that the public losers do have a few times. Under the superb technology of the public loser, the hollow needle is indeed better than Lao Zhang's head in rigidity, and the problem of water leakage remains unresolved.

In the Mohist hospital, the drug test for patients with Qi diseases stopped and the failure of the hollow needle of the public transfusion family. Slowly, rumors of the failure of the Mohist Qinglong plan began to spread in Chang'an city.

"If it weren't for the obstruction of the Mohists, if the Buddhists prayed for the empress, maybe the empress's condition would have improved!" Leng humed the abbot of Huichang in Huichang temple.

The defense machine folded his hands and said, "what the master said is very true. Life and death have a life. Wealth lies in heaven. Only the Buddha can bless all sentient beings. The Mohist tried to change his life against the sky. It's like a praying arm riding a cart. It's overkill."

Abbot Huichang could not help showing a trace of pride. Empress changsun's condition was not a secret, but an opportunity for prosperity that their Buddhist family had planned for a long time. Unexpectedly, it was blocked by the born Mohist family. Now it's time for the Mohist family to ask for trouble.

"Go to changsun mansion and tell changsun Chong that it would be bad if the empress's condition was delayed because the Mohist son prayed for the empress one day later!" Abbot Huichang said with a sneer.

Now the green dragon plan of Mojia Zi has failed. As long as Gongsun's family lights a fire in the imperial court, it will certainly enable Mojia Zi to walk around and delay empress changsun's illness. Even Mojia Zi can't afford this responsibility.

"Abbot is wise! This time, the imperial court will certainly allow my Buddhist family to prosper the temple and pray for the queen." the defense machine showed a trace of excitement. Once this matter is done, the reputation of Buddhist families in Chang'an city will certainly go up to a higher level.

Abbot Huichang shook his head and said, "I needed 3600 monks to pray for the queen last time. I'm afraid it's not enough to delay so long now!"

The defense opportunity was not stopped, and suddenly understood the meaning of Abbot Huichang. It was obvious that he took the opportunity to strive for more interests for the Buddhist family.

"I understand!" the debater said clearly. Then he got up and rushed to the changsun mansion.

With the development of the Chang sun mansion, there was another impeachment in the court hall. Merton delayed his illness and requested to build a temple for the empress Chang sun, and this time the momentum was greater than the last time.

"It's nonsense!" Li Shimin snorted coldly. If it weren't for the sake of the ministers and the empress changsun, he would have ordered a reprimand.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" pound hurriedly comforted.

Li Shimin calmed his irritability a little, frowned and said, "how's the progress of the Qinglong plan?"

Pound bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the drug has been developed, but the effect is not good. Now the only hope is to make the Mohist hollow needle."

"Hollow needle!" although Li Shimin doesn't understand ink technology, he also knows the difficulty by listening to the name. The needle itself is very small. I'm afraid it's even more difficult to make a hollow needle.

"Mohism, I hope you don't let me down!" Li Shimin murmured. He didn't order to urge Merton. Mojia village has the highest technology in the world. If even Mojia village can't make hollow needles, he doesn't need to think about other places at all.

As the news spread little by little, the blocking of the hollow needle in Mojia village soon spread all over Chang'an city. No one thought that the famous Mojia fell on an insignificant hollow needle.

Mohist village. Since the failure of the public loser, Lao Zhang's head suddenly doubled his pressure. He didn't know how much white his hair was, but he was still helpless with the hollow needle.

On this day, Lao Zhang's head wandered around for inspiration or making hollow needles. Unconsciously, he came to the underground glass workshop of Mohist R & D department.

"Come on, let's blow and lengthen it quickly. We must let Mowu's customized curved neck bottle be completed." the two Mohist children cooperated with each other. Soon, with the skilled cooperation of the Mohist children, a large group of red glass was pulled hard and a little plate, and a slender curved neck bottle in the shape of swan neck was born.

After a series of work last night, they will find that Lao Zhang's head is staring at them.

"Master Zhang!" they said respectfully.

However, Lao Zhang didn't seem to hear their call, and couldn't help recalling the picture of them pulling the swan neck of the curved neck bottle just now.

"Elongate! Don't you get thinner?" Lao Zhang suddenly realized that with the existing technology, they really make hollow needles directly. However, as long as they elongate the hollow steel pipe, it's easy to get extremely thin hollow needles? "

At present, Lao Zhang rushed to the steel plant and revealed his ideas.

"How to lengthen the hollow steel pipe? It will break as soon as it is pulled." Zhang Mu frowned.

"It's really a elm head. Of course, it's not pulled when it solidifies, but burned red, just like making a glass tube." Lao Zhang scolded.

Zhang Mu's eyes suddenly lit up. He naturally saw the appearance of glass manufacturing. At present, he suddenly realized that he immediately imitated the glass process. Soon, a slender hollow steel pipe that had just cooled had been made.

With the sharp cutting machine, sparks splashed everywhere. Soon, a qualified seamless hollow needle appeared in front of Lao Zhang's head.

"The emperor is worthy of his heart. The Mohist school finally made a hollow needle. This time, the empress is saved." Lao Zhang, like a treasure, picked up the hollow needle and hurried to Chang'an city to report the good news to Merton.

……………………

Tai Chi hall.

"Tell your majesty that the minister impeached the Mo family. If the Mo family hadn't preached the green dragon plan and delayed the Queen's illness, the queen might have improved!" this time, the eldest sun Chong took his own head to impeach Merton, gnashing his teeth.

"Chong'er, the empress would be very pleased if she knew your filial piety." Li Shimin couldn't help but flash a soft way when looking at Chang sun Chong. No matter what the purpose of Chang sun Chong was, his starting point was for the empress.

"My aunt is seriously ill. Chong'er wants to replace her. These days, Chong'er copies Buddhist scriptures day and night and does his best to pray for her aunt. I hope the Buddha can bless her to survive and get better." Chang sun Chong said with a loyal and filial look.

"You have a heart!" Li Shimin nodded.

A censor had already been inspired by Chang sun Chong and came out: "since the green dragon plan of the Mohist school failed, and the condition of empress Chang sun still hasn't improved, it's not too late for me to wait for monk du to enter the Tao and ask the Buddha to bless the Queen's recovery."

"Yes, because the mojiazi has delayed so many days and has refused to pray for Buddha's blessing before. If you annoy the Buddha, please ask your majesty and monks to be safe."

……………………

While many officials impeached Merton one after another, they also did not forget to strive for more interests for the Buddhists. The situation of the whole court suddenly fell to one side, and the wind of re worshiping the Buddha and praying for blessings rose sharply.

Just then, a report sounded.

"Tell your majesty! Marquis Mo wants to see you!"

"Mo family, he delayed the Queen's illness and dared to come!" all the officials were in an uproar.

"Announce him to the court!" Li Shimin said in his heart.

With the announcement, Merton, who was killed by many people, suddenly appeared outside the Tai Chi hall. He didn't look at all the officials. He strode forward and said in a voice: "inform your majesty, the green dragon plan of the Mohist school has been successful, and several patients with Qi diseases similar to those of the empress have been discharged from the hospital."

Suddenly everyone was silent. The patients with Qi disease in Mo hospital had been discharged from the hospital. Doesn't that mean that the Queen's condition is saved!
