Chapter 14 The Sharp Weapon That Sweeps Everything
With the sensationality of "My Motherland", the enthusiasm of this group of people was successfully inspired and they sat in the carriage and discussed excitedly.
The car was rippling, and the next stop was at the foot of Bagong Mountain. A group of people got off the car and saw five side-by-side factory areas at the foot of the mountain, with some villagers and craftsmen decorating the exterior walls.
"This is the newly invented production site such as watches, toys, four-wheeled carriages, bicycles, etc., and technical workers are being trained and will be put into production soon; the construction of the factory is mainly based on stones, and it will be part of the outer defense position of the Shouzhou Science Branch in the future." Lin Feng still became a tour guide.
Because the factory site is currently empty, Lin Feng led the group of bigwigs straight through the factory area. He passed two open cards along the way and one secret card to inspect it and arrived at the valley where the Academy of Sciences is located.
Above the magnificent stone gate of the Academy of Sciences, a huge stone carved the seven big words "Science, Questioning, Imagination". A huge wooden clock was placed at the wall facing the wall. On the clock face with scales on the edge, the longest wooden pointer was making a "click" sound, slowly beating.
Lin Feng pointed to the big clock and said, "This is the latest clock invented by the Academy of Sciences. There are three pointers from short to long, representing the hour, minute and second hands, which can divide a day into twenty-four hours, one thousand four hundred and four hundred seconds. Of course, the clock is still in the debugging stage, and the accuracy needs to be improved."
A group of people stared at this unheard new object with dazzling eyes, staring at the pointer that kept walking, and slowly felt that the monotonous but firm voice seemed to have merged into the same rhythm as their heartbeat.
After a long time, the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor Chang Mengxi sighed softly: "With such a clock, our Tang Dynasty is equivalent to completely controlling the time. I think it is even more leaked. Things like armillary spheres can be retired."
This rare humor of this old man who is usually unrestrained in laughter suddenly made a group of people laugh.
Li Jingda walked forward, gently stroked the large and small rotating gears of the clock with his hand, and turned to Lin Feng and said, "Zhishan, this is a good thing. You must get a few sets for our Jiangyin Army. With this, I will always take the initiative on the battlefield."
Lin Feng would never be humble at this time. He walked forward and pointed at these gears and said loudly: "Time is endless and eternal, birth and death. He is the most real master of the world. Although the clock is just a small invention, it is of great significance. To be honest, with the tools to control time, our Tang Dynasty is equivalent to having the tools to control the development process of the world. The future of the Tang Dynasty will surely be vivid in my mind, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will surely be just around the corner."
Li Jing, who had no longer spoken on the bank of Xiyang Crossing the Huai River, had a more obvious smile on his face. He kept slighting his head. Chang Mengxi was the first to applaud Lin Feng's wonderful words and cheer for the future of the Tang Dynasty. Others couldn't help but applaud.
Afterwards, Lin Feng briefly stated the overall layout of Shouzhou Science Branch, and explained their current research direction and focus respectively, and continued to describe to everyone a bright future that will be changed by advanced technology, so that these people's interest will continue to remain.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Lin Feng took these big guys to leave the Academy of Sciences and returned to Shouzhou City. Li Jing randomly chose a restaurant on the side of the road, ate some special snacks simply, and then asked Lin Feng to continue to arrange his afternoon itinerary.
Lin Feng naturally had a plan for the itinerary. He first led these people to the "Wei Miu Shop" to experience the sales boom brought by the tiny new inventions, and then brought these people to the real core location of the Academy of Sciences.
The deep house, the high alert, and the tall steel stoves lined up side by side in the yard, the strong mysterious aura suddenly raised the interest of these people again.
Lin Feng continued to perform the drama of cutting scrap iron with steel knife and cutting scrap iron with kitchen knife, and once again verified the truth that "weapons produced must be good products" of the Academy of Sciences, leaving others to visit outside and took Li Jing and Li Jingda into the most mysterious small courtyard.
Lin Feng first picked up a more compact and exquisite thunder and explained to the two bigwigs: "This is the latest version of the thunder and thunder, which is smaller, but has greater explosive power."
Then, Lin Feng picked up a thunderbolt equipped with a small spring device and mysteriously introduced: "This is a device we are studying. It can be buried in the place where the enemy passes. As soon as it is stepped on, the spring will bounce, which will detonate the thunderbolt and play a role in blocking the enemy. Now only the problem of ignition of fire needs to be solved."
Li Jingda's expression changed drastically, and he took it carefully from Lin Feng, saying in disbelief: "If this kind of shocking thunder is successfully developed and placed in batches, wouldn't it be possible to stop a large number of enemy cavalry?"
Lin Feng nodded with a smile: "This is one of the main uses of this kind of landmine. Once the landmine is mass-produced, the cavalry of Zhou and Liao Kingdoms will no longer be a difficult obstacle to our pacification of the world."
Li Jing's eyes were wide open. The south had always had an important geographical and psychological advantage against the north, that is, the undulating mountains and numerous rivers, so there were no need to worry too much about the rapid impact of the large cluster of cavalry in the north. As long as the development was successful, these landmines that could be buryed as soon as they stepped on were buried on the border line, the enemy would probably never dare to raid easily.
Lin Feng looked at the two big shots without any concealment of shock, quietly buried a trace of pride in his heart, then picked up a semi-finished rifle, took it in front of him and glanced, and then handed it to Li Jingda.
Li Jingda didn't know what he meant, so he still tried and handed it back.
Lin Feng picked up an iron bar of gun stuffed from the ground, first stuffed some gunpowder into the barrel, compacted it, then pressed a wooden bullet from a bullet model into the chamber, then picked up a fire snatch and ignited it, and then made an aiming posture before explaining to the two confused bosses: "This is the semi-finished musket made according to the principle of firecrackers. Now we also need to overcome the problem of how to ignite it."
This time it was Li Jingda's turn to stare at the gun, and he looked up and down, and asked with a gun in his mouth: "How fast is this kind of musket fired by arrows, how much does it take to compare to the range, how much lethality is, how long does the two bullets take to fire."
Lin Feng couldn't help but admire Li Jingda as indeed a military genius of the old Li family. He explained with a smile: "The vision of King E is indeed admired, and all the questions are the key points. According to our speculation and experiments, the speed of the bullet driven by gunpowder will exceed more than twice the speed of the strong bow and arrows of four hundred stones; the lethality is about one-tenth of the thunder of the sky, and it will be enough to knock down a horse when it hits a key part; the speed does not decrease within 150 steps, and the speed will be a little turbulent after more than 150 steps, and the range can be greatly increased in the future. If the soldiers are proficient in operation, they can ensure that three shots are fired within about two minutes. As long as several rows of soldiers fire in order, the shooting can be guaranteed to be uninterrupted."
Li Jingda was extremely surprised and once again explored the various parts of the gun. After a closer look, he suddenly turned around and grabbed Li Jing's hands: "Brother, our Tang Dynasty now has thunder. If there is another elite team that uses muskets, who can compete in the world?"
Li Jing pondered for a moment, turned to Lin Feng and asked, "Is this kind of ignition problem difficult to solve?"
Lin Feng immediately replied: "It's not difficult. In fact, the ignition of landmines can be completely solved by buried fuses, and the ignition of muskets can also be solved by fire folds and fuses. However, because these objects are easily soaked by rain, water, etc., Weichen's main consideration is to solve the ignition problem once and for all."
Li Jing sighed, Yingtian sighed for two long breaths, chanted a few words silently, turned to Lin Feng and Li Jingda, and said solemnly: "To be honest, Lin Aiqing's nightmare for predicting the future has always troubled me deeply, making me unable to sleep for many days and nights. Until today, seeing everything that happened in Shouzhou and seeing the technological weapon invented by Lin Aiqing, I can finally put a stone in my stomach. Now it seems that we have enough confrontational capital against last Zhou Kingdom, and at least we can be invincible."
Li Jingda said carelessly: "Look at these powerful war weapons that Zhishan has tinkered with. What is the point of defeating Zhou State? I even look forward to Zhishan robbing several prefectures and counties from the north after this war."
Lin Feng immediately continued: "What is the purpose of grabbing a few pieces of land? At least tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Zhouguo have to help us build Shouzhou and Datang, build roads, build canals, open factories, etc., you only need to eat and don't have to pay wages. It can be said to be cheap and affordable."
Li Jing was obviously angry by the confidence and arrogance of the two people. He looked up and pointed at them, smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying a word.
Lin Feng suddenly curled his smile and bowed and said, "Sage, I request that we meet the Sage and King E alone tonight, and tell a true path to dominate without fighting."
Li Jing and Li Jingda were stunned and looked at Lin Feng in great surprise.
