Chapter 1312: God-given treasure
When Emperor Hongzhi saw the Empress Dowager's strange appearance, he couldn't help but look over.
Seeing this, I was actually crazy.
You know, this is a place smaller than rice grains. In the magnifying glass, there are the word "Fu" and "communication", which is dense and dense. Although the naked eye cannot see clearly, it is extremely clear under the magnifying glass.
If you count this way, such a piece of clothing requires ten thousand blessings, and the meaning is completely different.
What shocked Emperor Hongzhi was how these things were written.
How much effort has been spent behind this?
The more he thought about it, the more surprised Emperor Hongzhi felt. It was not that he had never seen the world, but that he had seen too many worlds. It was because of the treasures in the world that he was shocked by this dress.
The Empress Dowager looked up and looked solemn: "This must have taken a lot of thought."
"It took some money." Fang Jifan said: "If you want to make this garment, not to mention the best materials, you need to design it in advance, which requires countless craftsmen's thoughts. Of course, this superficial article is easy to do, but the most difficult one is this invisible article."
Fang Jifan paused and then said, "Empress, you see these words, so small and the most difficult ones are in three places. First, if you want to write such small words, you need the fashionable and thinnest pen. Not only that, ordinary ink cannot be written on it and it is easy to blur. Then, this ink also needs to be specially made."
The good birthday party actually became a large-scale popular science scene.
Fang Jifan didn't want to do it either. In order to spread science, or to let the most powerful people in the world understand the benefits of science, Fang Jifan could be said to have hollowed out his mind.
The Ming Dynasty was actually not disgusted with the "strange skills and lewd tricks".
In fact, when they came into contact with new technologies, they were more than happy to promote them. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, they were always very enthusiastic about the transformation of muskets and new artillery.
Therefore, the red cannons were produced.
Even as long as the Franji people did not have too much ambition, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty mostly showed a tolerant attitude towards the messengers.
So much so that in the book "The Collapse of the Celestial Dynasty", later scholars, during the Opium War, the invaders discovered that the Qing army did use artillery and muskets in large quantities hundreds of years later, but many of their weapons were left over from the late Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago. Their skill level stopped for hundreds of years and never thought of improving or making new innovations. However, during this century of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Franji people were thriving, and finally, they suffered a century-long defeat, so that the civilization of the central dynasty reached a precarious point.
Popular science is a long way to go. Although the rulers have already expected the convenience and benefits brought by new technologies, Fang Jifan doesn't mind and goes further.
Fang Jifan said: "The second thing is that craftsmen with the highest skills, Empress, these craftsmen are the foundation of the country. There were thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and there were only a handful of people who might have made such clothes. They must be skillful and need to be trained day after day."
"Of course, this is not written word by word."
"Didn't it be written one by one?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and looked at Fang Jifan in surprise.
Fang Jifan said: "It was printed. If you want to print, you need to have a carving plate. The craftsmen have spent countless efforts on this carving plate."
"Can the carved plate be so small?" Emperor Hongzhi was increasingly surprised.
Every stroke here is equivalent to hair, how to do it.
"First of all..." Fang Jifan said: "The biggest problem to solve is...the material, this material was made by His Royal Highness's research institute for several years."
Years...
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to cross his hands, but it was too late. Emperor Hongzhi's eyes fell back to Fang Jifan.
Fang Jifan said: "This material is of great importance and is very rare for the materials suitable for carvings. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince studied countless materials in the research institute and carefully selected them to choose such a material. And secondly, it is the eyes."
"Eye……"
At this time, it was not only Emperor Hongzhi, but also the Empress Dowager and the Destiny Wives were also immersed in the ears.
They like clothes.
The more noble a person is, the more he likes special clothes.
Therefore, there were so-called ninety-nine processes in later generations, and thirty-six craftsmen spent 9,999 days and nights. Although it was a big fool, in fact, merchants targeted the weakness of human nature and wanted to get something unique.
What Fang Jifan said was more mysterious, and they listened to it even more interesting.
Fang Jifan said: "That's right, it's the eyes. Your Majesty. Look, what our naked eyes can see is at most a thing that is the size of a rice grain. If you have to carve it on the rice grain, then... this is no longer something that can be solved by the mind and skill. Now, it is equivalent to engraving words on a carved plate the size of a rice grain. Your Majesty thinks this can be done by the human eye?"
Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and shook his head.
"Only by allowing our eyes to see things that we could not see, this is the first step in advance."
Zhu Hou, who was standing beside him, shivered: "Is it a hell to see something that cannot be seen?"
Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists, and a giggling sound was made between the bones of his hands.
Zhu Hou: “…”
He shut up.
Fang Jifan said: "For this, I spent several years working hard to develop a microscope. Your Majesty, please see what I am holding in my hand."
Fang Jifan carefully took out something as thin as a cicada's wings.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't see clearly.
Fang Jifan pointed to an instrument brought by the eunuch and said, "Then please come here to see it."
Fang Jifan carefully placed the things in his hand in the copper plate under the instrument.
Emperor Hongzhi had already aroused his curiosity and subconsciously paced. Under the instrument, he passed through the lens in the copper long tube, and suddenly... a "long needle" that would be invisible could be clearly visible. Not only that, it was also particularly "thick". Under the microscope, this thing was as thin as a cicada's wing, but it was even uneven.
Fang Jifan said: "Look, Your Majesty, with this eye, such tight parts and tools, there is a possibility of manufacturing. Not only that, but also relying on it, I found a worm. This object is called a microscope, which can magnify the affairs in front of me by three hundred times."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the "fine needle". The needle surface was not just uneven, but every texture seemed to be clearly visible. He couldn't help but take a breath and suddenly... his body shook.
I suddenly understood everything.
Wanfuyi is just a small gimmick.
The really difficult one is the carved version.
To make a carving plate, a thinner engraving knife is required, and all of this requires a microscope.
If you keep enlarging your vision, you can create something more exquisite.
Of course, Wan Fuyi is just a test.
Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "I am wondering... if I were printing the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, I would use such ink and use such a carved plate in the details, can it be copied without anyone else?"
Anti-counterfeiting?
After all, Emperor Hongzhi was the emperor, so his mind was very easy to use, and he immediately learned from one example.
"The holy name of my emperor, with this microscope, can the finest carved plates in the world be produced. After this carved plates are printed, there are countless textures inside. These textures are enough to ensure that no one can forge them in the next decades. Even if they can be forged, the manpower, material resources and skills required are extremely superb. If the Daming Baochao wants to travel all over the world, if it cannot do this, then... once it is imitated by a large number of people, it will inevitably have a very bad impact."
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath.
That's what he was worried about before.
Now... with this, I feel relieved to think about how refined the Ming Dynasty treasure money will be after it is.
He then said, "In addition to this... there are many machinery, and...
"The structure of the material can also be observed through a microscope. This is also of great benefit to the material. In fact, this is not only that. It can also discover insects, allowing the medical school to summarize and observe the laws of different insects, and distinguish the harm and benefits of them to the body. In addition, the surgical instruments can also strive for excellence... Your Majesty... With these eyes, it is like opening a new door for all walks of life. The reason why microscopes can be made is because of Your Majesty's wiseness. This is a treasure given by God. If it weren't for Your Majesty's assistance to Xishan Academy and various research institutes, and his love for the Academy of Sciences, how could this thing appear? Therefore, my son named this first microscope the My Emperor's Endless Mirror..."
Emperor Hongzhi: "..."
"Don't make up these messy names." Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, but the prince and you not only gave me a generous gift, but also gave me a generous gift... This thing... Can there be papers for the journal? I want to read a few times, and see what new things can be derived from this thing in the future."
Fang Jifan said: "Now only two have been made, one is here and the other is in the Institute of Optics. Now students from all walks of life are applying to see this microscope. I think soon, students from all disciplines will discover its magical use. Your Majesty, don't worry. At that time, the minister will definitely send these papers to the imperial court and ask Your Majesty to read them."
The Empress Dowager was confused when he heard it, but at this time, he seemed to have roughly understood what the meaning of this blessing clothes was, especially the Empress Dowager. Just looking at the emperor's excited and inexplicable expression, he knew even more in his heart.
