    ?

    Not long after, Wang Ping entered.

    Wang Ping's temperament has changed from a few months ago, but what has not changed is his down-to-earth diligence.  Du Qi once knew what Wang Ping did in the University of Science and Technology, even though Du Qi praised Wang Ping and gave Wang Ping money.  But Wang Ping's life is still as dull and boring as before, dealing with glass all day long.

    This is a person who can concentrate on doing things. In Du Qi's view, although Wang Ping is young, he has the potential of a master.  As long as it continues, Wang Ping himself will definitely achieve outstanding achievements.

    Du Qi waved his hand and said, "You don't need to salute. You are from Yizhou. What's the matter?"

    Wang Pingdao: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have invented two items, which are very interesting. The first item, we named it a magnifying glass, can magnify items so that even very small items can be seen."

    After a pause, Wang Ping continued: "The most amazing thing about the magnifying glass is that it can be ignited with the help of sunlight, so that flammable paper and dry grass can be ignited."

    Du Qi was surprised when he heard it.

    The magnifying glass is all out, good, very good!  In fact, Du Qi could have written about the magnifying glass and many other items used for glass at the beginning, but Du Qi thought it was unnecessary, and these could be developed slowly.  The items Du Qi needs can be made in advance.  But let Wang Ping and others study the rest.

    With the deepening of research, many items appeared naturally.

    Just like a magnifying glass.

    Du Qidao: "How did you and the rest of the people discover this magnifying glass?"

    Wang Ping said enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, it was actually a coincidence that we discovered the magnifying glass. At the beginning, when we were making glass, some glass was thrown aside because of incomplete craftsmanship, which caused the mirror surface to be uneven.  "

    "Because it was tilted and never fell to the ground, when the sun shone on it, it actually pierced the lens, and then ignited the dry grass. This incident shocked people in the University of Science and Technology at the time."

    "At that time, we didn't understand what it meant, didn't understand why, and didn't know what the principle was. After tossing for several days, we finally discovered that under the sun, as long as the position is selected properly, the glass can gather light to ignite the dry grass.  "

    Wang Ping said: "And the thickness of the glass, the degree of unevenness, and the intensity of sunlight all have an impact. In the end, we made such a magnifying glass, which can magnify everything in sight, and can also ignite."

    While talking, Wang Ping took out a magnifying glass from his sleeve.  There is not much difference between the magnifying glass and the magnifying glass of later generations. The outside is edged with round cork, and there is a short handle to hold it, which is very convenient to use.

    The servant took it and handed it to Du Qi.

    Du Qi took it over, played with it a bit and said: "Yes, yes, you Wang Ping is indeed a talented person, I didn't misunderstand you. This item is very useful."

    Wang Ping was relieved when he heard the words. With Du Qi's affirmation, this research was not in vain.

    Du Qidao: "Tell me, what reward do you want?"

    Wang Ping shook his head like a rattle, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty treats us with great kindness, and gives us a very high salary, so that we have no worries about food and clothing. Nowadays, many teachers in the University of Science and Technology have status and are respected. This  Since it is His Majesty's kindness, how can we expect rewards. What's more, these researches are our duty and what we should do."

    Du Qi said: "The duty is the duty, and the reward is the reward. You have made a magnifying glass, and you should be rewarded."

    Wang Ping did not answer the question, and directly changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, on the basis of the magnifying glass, the minister and the others carefully studied and made a second item."

    Du Qidao: "What item?"

    Wang Ping said: "Telescope!"

    Du Qi was a little shocked when he heard it, he was really surprised, looked at Wang Pingping, and thought to himself, Wang Ping, you kid, you must be cheating, and in a short time, he made another telescope.  You must know that for Du Qi, the telescope is not widely used for personal purposes.  But for the generals in the army, it is necessary.  With a telescope, it is extremely beneficial in warfare.

    Du Qi suddenly said: "Wang Ping, do you know about microscopes?"

    "have no idea!"

    Wang Ping looked puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, what is a microscope? Is it also made of glass?"

    Du Qi was relieved when he heard it.

    It seems that this kid Wang Ping belongs to cheating, not through the crowd.

    Du Qidao: "Forget it if you don't know, let's talk about the telescope. How did you find it?"

    theseNow, Du Qi is quite curious.

    Wang Ping no longer cared about the microscope, and said with great interest: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the telescope is a thing that can see the distant landscape. Speaking of which, the reason why we can discover it is also due to luck. When we played with the magnifying glass,  I also wondered what would happen if the lens was not sunken, but protruding, so I made a glass piece that protrudes outward."

    After a pause, Wang Ping said: "In this research team, there is a person named Hu Hanshan. He used two polished mirrors together by coincidence and found that he could see things in the distance clearly. That's why he got this telescope. But  The research process was not very smooth, and it took a long time to get the telescope we have today."

    Du Qidao: "Submit it."

    Wang Ping took out the telescope from his sleeve again, which is a monocular telescope.  As Wang Ping held one end of the eyepiece and pulled it, the monocular became longer and he handed it out.

    Du Qi took it over, picked up the binoculars, and looked outside the hall.  Through the eyepiece, you can clearly see Jingguan in the distance, but there is still a limit to this clarity, after all, the polishing of glass cannot meet the standards of later generations.  In fact, the current glass still has a certain gap with the glass of later generations, but it is not bad to be able to reach this point.

    After Du Qi looked at it, he put down the telescope in his hand and said, "Wang Ping, how far can your telescope see?"

    "A distance of three hundred feet!"

    Wang Ping replied immediately, because he had already measured with Hu Hanshan and others before.  Within a distance of three hundred feet, it is relatively clear.  Once outside this range, it will be very blurry.

    Wang Ping continued: "The distance of this telescope can be further as long as we continue to study and polish it. It's just that this telescope is too small to be of much use."

    Du Qi said: "Wang Ping, the telescope is very useful. Research on the telescope will continue."

    "yes!"

    Wang Ping answered immediately.

    He originally thought it was useless, but Du Qi thought it was useful, and Wang Ping was also happy for Hu Hanshan.

    Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Whether it is a magnifying glass or a telescope, we must continue to study. You have contributed a lot to the development of these two items. I will allocate 100,000 yuan to you, and you and Hu Hanshan will each receive 30,000 yuan."  guan, and the remaining 40,000 guan will be distributed to the rest of the people involved in the research."

    "ah!"

    Wang Ping exclaimed when he heard it.

    Was frightened by Du Qi.

    Another one hundred thousand!

    You know, when the glass was developed, Du Qi gave it a commendation.  Up to now, Du Qi gave another commendation.  Wang Ping, however, was a down-to-earth person, shaking his head and said: "Your Majesty, we don't need so many awards. We have received a salary, and we should do things as we should. Therefore, Your Majesty, we don't need such awards."

    Du Qi flicked his sleeves and said: "If it is given to you, you will accept it. This is not only for you alone, but also for other industries. As long as useful items are developed, they will have great uses."

    After a pause, Du Qi said: "There are more telescopes here?"

    Wang Ping said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I brought three binoculars with me when I came from Yizhou. However, there are two more binoculars, which were left at the post station and have not been brought here for the time being."

    Du Qidao: "Send the telescope here, and increase the production and research in this area after returning. Because these telescopes, I will use them in the army."

    "yes!"

    Wang Ping responded immediately.

    Du Qi wrote another note asking Wang Ping to withdraw money from the internal treasury.  Now Du Qi's internal treasury is already extremely rich, and it's not bad to describe it as rich.

    After receiving it, Wang Ping thanked him and left.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
