"Heating?"
Hearing this strange word, everyone couldn't help but look at Meton.
"Little Mo, is your brain damaged by the poison? How can burning charcoal outside make the room warm? "Cheng Yaojin said in disbelief.
The others also racked their brains but couldn't figure out how to do it. If the warm wind blew in, wouldn't the carbon poison be blown in again?
Merton said, "Of course we can't let the poison gas into the room. In order to keep the room warm in the cold winter, there must be a heat source in the room that continuously emits heat. If this heat source wants to transmit the heat from outside the room, it must have a very strong thermal conductivity."
"Iron!" Gongshu Hong said loudly.
Meton nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed iron! Iron is the most common metal. It is cheap to make and has a very fast thermal conductivity. Once the fire is lit in the kitchen, the whole iron pot will become hot in a very short time. It is the best thermal conductivity. "
Kitchen, kitchen again. Everyone was almost crazy. The Gongshu family got the inspiration to expel the carbon poison from the chimney of the kitchen. Mo Jiazi got the inspiration to heat transfer from the iron pot in the kitchen.
Was it because there were countless treasures hidden in the kitchen that made them want to enter the kitchen to see if they could be inspired and show off their skills in front of everyone?
Gongshu Hong shook his head and said, "Although iron conducts heat quickly, it also dissipates heat quickly. Even if it is red hot, the heat will dissipate in less than a quarter of an hour."
"Then we need another thing that can store and transport heat best," Meton said as he raised the teacup in his hand and blew the white smoke curling up from it.
"Water!" Everyone's eyes lit up, and they said in unison.
"Yes! Think about it, when we use a charcoal stove, we put an iron kettle on it to boil water. The iron kettle will burn our hands in a very short time, but the water in the kettle will still be cold. It will take a long time to boil the water. After the kettle is boiling, we take it out and put it aside. After an hour, the water in the kettle is still warm, which shows that water is the best thing to store heat. "
This was common knowledge. With Morton's explanation, everyone immediately understood. Iron and water were both common materials. In that case, it was possible to introduce heating.
"How can iron and water warm the room? Do you want to put a kettle in the room?" Cheng Yaojin said casually.
Everyone chuckled.
Meton didn't care, but smiled and said, "Of course, that is impossible. So I am going to use iron to make pipes to lead the hot water into the room."
Gongshu Hong suddenly raised his head. The Gongshu family used an iron tube to expel the carbon poison, but the Mohist family used iron to cast an iron tube to let hot water flow in. Their methods were shockingly similar.
"Different roads lead to the same destination!" This word flashed in everyone's mind.
"Is this method feasible?" Li Shimin frowned and asked.
Meton said affirmatively, "It is absolutely feasible. The main business of Village Mo is steel-making. Steel-Making produces a lot of residual heat. It is very cold in winter, so the villagers of Village Mo use the residual heat of steel-making to heat the hot water, and then let the hot water flow through the channels to each factory. In this way, the factory is as warm as spring, and the workers don't feel cold even if they wear thin clothes."
Cheng Yaojin suddenly understood and said, "So, the so-called heating is not using charcoal to heat iron, but using charcoal to heat water, and then using the hot water to conduct heat through the iron pipes, and then releasing heat into the room."
Meton looked at Cheng Yaojin with appreciation, and Cheng Yaojin suddenly grinned excitedly. Suddenly, he felt that this scene was not right, so he quickly sat up straight.
"In this way, the iron pipes will continue to dissipate heat, and the room will be clean and hygienic. It will be as warm as spring all day, and there will be no danger of carbon poisoning." Meton painted a fascinating picture.
Everyone was immediately tempted. Comparing Gongshu's family and Mo's family, it was immediately obvious who was superior. Gongshu's family left the furnace in the room, and there were many hidden dangers. Not only was there a risk of fire, but there was also the risk of carbon poisoning.
But Mo's family directly left the furnace outside, completely eliminating the possibility of carbon poisoning.
Even Gongshu Hong was conquered by Meton's idea of heating. The two's ideas were surprisingly similar, and Mo Jiazi had done it to the extreme.
"This method is very good, and we all think that it is appropriate to use Mo's method in the palace." Kong Yingda praised.
Li Shimin's heart was moved, but he hesitated and said, "In this way, isn't it too extravagant and wasteful? The Tang dynasty ruled the country with diligence and frugality. How can I lead the way in enjoying life? "
When Kong Yingda heard that, he immediately understood what he meant. Just as he was trying to persuade Morton again, he heard Morton say, "This kid is going to build a huge boiler to boil water. This way, we can boil a lot of hot water at once. Since water stores a lot of heat, we can connect many rooms together with pipes. This way, one boiler can provide heat for many rooms. That way, we can save a lot of energy compared to one charcoal stove per room."
"Enlarge the kettle!" Everyone was stunned.
It was indeed the style of Mo to see the big picture from the small things in life. Who could think so much from a kettle, and even enlarge the kettle several times to completely solve the problem of carbon poisoning?
Not wasteful but frugal. With such convenience, Li Shimin nodded and agreed without waiting for others to persuade him.
"Immeasurable Deity, iron is incomparably hard, and it is the most rigid thing. It is as good as water, and as soft as it is. With both hardness and softness, carbon poisoning can be easily solved. Mo Tan's every move is secretly in accordance with the essence of Taoism." Taoist Changsheng bowed and said.
"Isn't it just a big kettle? How can you associate it with Taoism?" Cheng Yaojin sneered and directly exposed Taoist Changsheng's forced acting.
Meton was secretly happy, but when he heard Cheng Yaojin called the heater a kettle, he was so angry that his nostrils flared.
"Marquis Merton's innovation of the heater is really a genius. Gongshu Family admits that we are not as good as him." Gongshu Hong admitted directly.
Yan Nianzhi put down the pen and paper in his hand and suddenly asked, "All of us here have a question that we would like to ask the Mo Family."
Meton's face became serious and said, "Senior Yan, please ask."
Yan Nianzhi thought for a moment and said, "This kind of problem in the world has baffled countless people. Why is it that in the hands of Marquis Merton, it is so easy to solve it with the common things in our life? I don't know if Marquis Merton has any secret."
As soon as Yan Nianzhi's voice fell, the whole place suddenly became silent, and everyone stared at Meton.
Morton was stunned when he heard that. He did not know how to answer. Was he supposed to say that he had accumulated over a thousand years of knowledge? He suddenly had an idea and said, "Attention is knowledge. Experience is knowledge."
Everyone was stunned, and suddenly they seemed to have an epiphany. The method used by Mo Jiazi was common in life. If one paid attention, they would be able to detect it. However, most people turned a blind eye to it. Only Mo Jiazi made it into knowledge.
"Thank you!"
Yan Nianzhi and others were enlightened.
