Chapter 1066 Tribute and Teaching Materials (Part 1)
Although Gu Cheng has not participated in those large projects like tractors and trains, he has his own expertise. This young man is very good at micro-precision instruments and is a self-taught person.
To be honest, although the power research institute in Xingang County has produced many results in recent years, it has been greatly influenced by Luo Chong. The research and development directions of all projects, and even the specific details of many projects, are directly given to them by Luo Chong. Their main work is to reproduce and optimize the drawings given by Luo Chong. In terms of independent design ability, these people are still a little lacking.
But Gu Cheng is different. Gu Cheng's research on machinery is all his own achievement. This kid learned carpentry from his father when he was a child. He knows how to make windmills and has a lot of experience in the gears and various lever systems in windmills. Including the mechanical clocks made now, most of them are also an extension of the use of gears and levers.
When it comes to power machinery, Gu Cheng is not as good as those people in the second institute, but when it comes to precision instruments, those people don't have Gu Cheng's ability.
But then again, the weapons project that the Second Institute is currently responsible for should actually be considered a precision instrument. Apart from other things, a pistol alone has a lot of parts, which should also be considered a precision instrument.
After finishing Ao Fei's pneumatic shutter, Gu Cheng returned to his laboratory and began to assemble his second-generation mechanical clock.
His studio was very messy. There was a small lathe and a huge workbench filled with various mechanical parts, most of which were made by himself.
In the mechanical group of this comprehensive research institute, there were more people, but most of them were auxiliary positions, such as craftsmen who were good at precision casting, lathe workers, and other highly skilled blacksmiths, etc., but there were only two or three people who could design some mechanical structures by themselves, and Gu Cheng was one of them.
After spending almost half a day to assemble the second-generation mechanical clock, Gu Cheng immediately found Ao Fei from the optical group. The two of them jointly wrote a letter of credit to Luo Chong and asked the people from the institute to deliver it to Luo Chong.
The reason for this is the management system of the Comprehensive Research Institute. Researchers in the institute cannot leave the island without orders. Outsiders are generally not allowed to go up, except for transporting daily necessities. This allows the institute to maintain confidentiality to the greatest extent.
Compared with the various big guys in the Xingang County Power Research Institute, Luo Chong actually cares more about the research results of the Comprehensive Research Institute. Rubber, chemistry, and physics are what Luo Chong values most.
Although things like trains and tractors are also very important, they require a large amount of steel materials as a basis. Without tens of thousands of laborers who have left agricultural production and advanced iron smelting technology, even if all the technology is packaged and sent to other forces, they cannot build trains and other things.
That is basically an open secret. You can't learn it even if you are asked to learn it. Therefore, the confidentiality level of the Power Research Institute is far lower than that of the Comprehensive Research Institute, which can be seen from the site selection.
However, this time Luo Chong also raised the confidentiality level of the weapons project that the Second Institute is responsible for. After all, it is a weapon. Even if other forces cannot make it, Luo Chong will not allow these technologies to spread within the Han tribe.
On May 15, the second year of Da Ming, Luo Chong was reading the reports sent from various places in his study. They were all about the development of various construction sites and counties, as well as the application of materials from various places. These things had to be handled and dispatched by him personally.
Just as Luo Chong had finished approving some of the reports and had just picked up his teacup to drink water and rest, there was a sound of guards knocking on the door outside.
Dangdangdang.
"Reporting to the leader, a letter has been sent from the Comprehensive Research Institute. Please take a look."
Luo Chong was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't paid attention to the Comprehensive Research Institute for a long time. Why did they suddenly send a letter? Did they discover something again?
To be honest, although the Comprehensive Research Institute has not produced any major results in recent years, in the academic field, this institute can beat the second institute of Xingang County. To put it simply, the first institute is full of scholars. Although they have not achieved much, if they compare writing scientific research papers, the first institute is definitely the well-deserved boss.
"Okay, put it on the table first." Luo Chong nodded slightly, put down the teacup and continued to read the reports from various places.
The guards also put down the letter silently and then quietly retreated. After a while, when Luo Chong had approved all the reports, he picked up the letter jointly sent by Ao Fei and Gu Cheng.
The letter first greeted Luo Chong, then explained their recent achievements, and asked Luo Chong if he could come over to present gifts. At the same time, the letter also included two black and white photos, which were photos of the off-axis camera and the second-generation mechanical self-ringing clock.
Looking at the two photos and comparing them with the introduction in the letter, Luo Chong immediately became interested in these two things. At the same time, he was secretly amazed in his heart. Although he didn't pay much attention to this comprehensive research institute, their own growth speed should not be underestimated. How long has it been, and there are new achievements again? !
I remember that the last time the comprehensive research institute presented its achievements was two years ago on the New Year's Day, that is, the New Year's Day of the first year of Da Ming. During that festival, the representatives of the comprehensive research institute sent a mechanical clock and a platform scale! This time, after holding back for so long, there are finally achievements again!
After thinking for a moment, Luo Chong summoned the guards again and said, "Summon Ao Fei and Gu Cheng from the Huxin Island Comprehensive Research Institute to meet with me immediately, and ask them to send the gifts. Also... forget it, I'll tell them when they come."
"Yes!"
The guards bowed and took the order, and soon delivered Luo Chong's order. Ao Fei and Gu Cheng on the other side had already made preparations. After receiving the order, the two immediately took a boat to the dock of Liuyang County, and then took a carriage to Luo Chong's residence in Hanyang City.
After a long journey, the two finally arrived at Luo Chong's study the next afternoon.
"Chief, please look, this is a new type of off-axis camera. This new type of camera has changed the previous framing mode. Through the glass window above, you can aim at the target and take the desired photos.
"In addition, it is equipped with a pneumatic shutter designed by Gu Cheng, which makes the speed and action of exposing the film simpler, and the quality of the film has also been greatly improved.
"And based on these improvements, the difficulty of taking pictures can be greatly reduced. Photographers will not need special training in the future. They can just find someone to learn and quickly get started.
"This one is a gift we prepared specifically for the chief. If the chief likes it, we can mass-produce it in the future and then sell it to the outside world." Ao Fei placed the off-axis camera on Luo Chong's desk and immediately began to introduce it.
"Okay, okay, I thought it would take a few years to make a shutter, but I didn't expect you to be so fast. We'll take it out and try it later. If there is no problem, we will start production and sales." Luo Chong was playing with the wooden camera, and he was overjoyed. Then he turned to look at Gu Cheng and the second-generation mechanical clock next to him, and asked with a smile.
"Are you Gu Cheng? What, aren't you going to introduce your work to me? "
Gu Cheng blushed a little in front of Luo Chong. This boy was too shy. According to what Luo Chong said in his previous life, Gu Cheng was a standard technical geek who was not good at socializing, but had very solid skills.
Seeing Gu Cheng stammering and unable to speak, Ao Fei took the initiative to help introduce him.
"Chief, this boy is Gu Cheng. He invented the first generation of mechanical clocks and the scales. However, this boy is a little shy and doesn't like to talk much in the research institute. Don't blame him, Gu Cheng, why don't you introduce your second generation mechanical clock to the chief!"
Ao Fei introduced in the middle with a grin, reminded Gu Cheng, turned around and said to Luo Chong, "Chief, his second generation mechanical clock is amazing. It can also tell time by itself. It can make a sound when it's time, and you can know the time without looking at it with your eyes."
