Chapter 487 Firearms Research Institute
With the Western books brought by Jinnige as the foundation, and with the books from the Ming Dynasty, many books have been published now.
Under such circumstances, many things have been laid and the rest can be raised. What Zhu Youxiao is doing now is this kind of thing, and people come to study books.
These books seem inconspicuous to later generations, but in this era, they are like creating an existence.
Therefore, the book reviews here are kept confidential, and many things will be published only after they are transformed into actual results.
Especially for physics, chemistry, etc., Zhu Youxiao was not allowed to be careless.
In this era, people do not have any thoughts of keeping it secret. The whole world is running around, spreading all kinds of things everywhere.
In addition to various viruses, there are also all kinds of good things, just like the various books and experimental supplies collected by Kinnige.
However, Zhu Youxiao knew that these things could not be spread indiscriminately.
After Zhu Youxiao arrived here, he soon met Wang Zi.
Obviously someone went to pass on the message to Wang Zheng. This is normal. After all, Wang Zheng is the chief official here, and the people below dare not do anything randomly.
Looking at Wang Cheng who was celebrating, Zhu Youxiao said directly: "Don't give up on the celebrating."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Zi quickly agreed, stood up from the ground, and stood respectfully aside, with his expression very calm on his face. He quietly waited for Zhu Youxiao to speak.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang Zheng and said, "Let me go with you."
After saying this, Zhu Youxiao turned around and walked out forward.
While walking, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help looking around.
Although this place is very important to him, he hasn't been here for half a year. This time it was a half-day of free time, otherwise he wouldn't have time to come here to see it.
When Wang Cheng followed Zhu Youxiao, the expression on his face was still very calm.
Since editing the book here, Wang Zheng has really learned a lot. It is more profound and difficult to understand than what he learned from foreigners before. But there is one thing that Wang Zheng knows that the knowledge here is richer and more real.
While walking in, Wang Cheng introduced to Zhu Youxiao.
After walking a few steps, Wang Zi said: "Your Majesty, someone here wants to do some experiments and verify the guess."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned.
There are many people here. When the construction of this place was planned, Zhu Youxiao even drew some staff from the Baigong Academy.
But the positioning here is not an experiment, it is just a book writing. If you do experiments, people from the Baigong Academy do it, and the Baigong Academy is engaged in scientific research.
But it is obvious that these people can't help it when they write books all day long.
After looking at Wang Zheng, Zhu Youxiao said directly: "People with such ideas can ask them to go to the Baigong Institute of Technology. The Baigong Institute is the place for experiments. It is better not to do random things here, and it is not suitable for experiments here."
After hearing this, Wang Zi felt a little helpless.
Wang Zheng didn't want to say something to His Majesty, but the people below were chasing them too tightly, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a request.
I have not said it before, but the Centre for the Centre has already done it, so I can't do it here anymore.
"When you go back to Your Majesty, it's not just a small laboratory for verification like the Aboriginal Institute." Wang Cheng said again.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wang Zheng.
If he believed this, he would be a fool.
After being an emperor for many years, Zhu Youxiao clearly distinguished what his subjects were true and what they were false.
If they were made a hole, they would definitely make it very large. Just like a large embankment, although only a small gap was exposed, as the water flow washed away, the gap would become larger and larger, and finally the entire embankment would be directly washed away.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Then build one."
As for scale, Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything at all. These people would definitely build a small one at the beginning, but as time goes by, the scale will definitely become larger and larger, which is not something you can stop.
Either they don't let them build, it will be difficult to stop them from expanding.
The reason why Zhu Youxiao agreed to them was that on the one hand, he did not want to dampen their enthusiasm, and on the other hand, he really wanted to see what they could do.
After all, these people are all talented and knowledgeable people, and it can be seen that they have many ideas, which really need to be verified.
In this case, it would be no harm to let them build a laboratory, and it would be great to compete with the Baigong Institute of Technology.
In the past, it was because of the shortage of money, but now it’s because there are too many lice and there are no worries about debt. Just do whatever you love.
After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Wang Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile on his face: "I thank Your Majesty!"
After waved his hand, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to continue talking about this matter, because there was no need to continue discussing it.
Turning around and continuing to walk forward with his hands behind his back. After passing through the corridor, Zhu Youxiao quickly arrived on the street behind.
Zhu Youxiao didn’t want to stay here for too long, so he continued walking in another place.
On the street behind, the carriage was already waiting here.
After getting on the carriage, Wei Chao drove the carriage himself and turned around and asked Zhu Youxiao: "Prince, are we going back to the palace?"
"I won't go back." Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "Let's go to the Firearms Research Institute to take a look."
"Yes, the emperor." Wei Chao quickly agreed and activated the carriage.
The car drove slowly and quickly drove towards the Firearms Research Institute.
A few days ago, Zhu Youxiao received a report from Bi Maokang, saying that an amazing experiment was being conducted there.
Originally, Zhu Youxiao didn't plan to participate, and it would be fine after the other party completed the experiment and looked at the finished product. But this time he came out for a walk around and it was still early and he didn't want to go back, so he just happened to go over and take a look.
Qi Yuangong took people to guard Zhu Youxiao obediently on both sides of the car and walked forward together.
After the carriage left the new city, it headed north and soon arrived at the Firearms Research Institute.
It was deserted around here, with soldiers standing guard everywhere.
Apart from that, there was no sight of a hare.
After the carriage arrived at the door, Bi Maokang came out.
Bi Maokang has now been promoted to the title of Minister of Works. It can be said that he is of high authority and controls the Hundred and Works Institute of the Ming Dynasty. He is a rare figure among ordinary people and is highly valued by Zhu Youxiao.
"My minister, please see Your Majesty." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Bi Maokang hurriedly said.
Although I don’t know what the emperor is doing at this time, when Bi Maokang reported before, the emperor did not say he wanted to come.
Now that His Majesty the Emperor has come here, I guess it is out of curiosity or idleness. This kind of thing has not happened once or twice, and Bi Maokang is not nervous.
After taking a look at Bi Maokang, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Get up and take me in and take a look. Has your experiment begun?"
"Your Majesty, it's not yet." Bi Maokang said quickly.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said with a bright smile on his face: "It seems that I have not come late yet. It's good that I'm just going to take a look. How are you preparing now?"
"Your Majesty, you're ready." Bi Maokang quickly agreed.
"What are you waiting for? Go and have a look." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
After saying this, Zhu Youxiao, who was in a good mood, directly invited Bi Maokang to lead the way in front, and the group walked quickly towards the back.
When we arrived at the firearm test site, there were already many people busy here.
After seeing Zhu Youxiao, everyone hurriedly saluted.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and signaled that they didn't have to salute.
Wei Chao raised his whisk, cleared his throat and said, "You guys keep going."
Zhu Youxiao has been attracted by what is going to be tested today.
What caught my eye was a dozen round tubes placed on the left.
Seeing these things, Zhu Youxiao was stunned. Then he walked over excitedly, reached out and gently stroked the bare tubes. The expression on his face was very gentle, with a smile that no one could understand.
The reason why Zhu Youxiao had such an attitude was that he showed such an expression was very simple. He never thought that he could see such things. Now he not only saw them, but also reached out to touch the real thing.
The touch was cold, but Zhu Youxiao couldn't put it down.
Zhu Youxiao saw this thing in his previous life, and this shape is a 63-type 60mm mortar.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked calmly: "Have you overcome the technical difficulties?"
In fact, in recent years, the Baigong Academy has never stopped working on the tough projects. Zhu Youxiao gave them a lot of money, and with the knowledge obtained from Jinnige, the Baigong Academy's skills have been rapidly improved.
About a year ago, they had produced metal fixed ammunition.
A few days ago, the Baigong Academy also created new gunpowder.
You know, if it is filled with black flames, the explosion range will not be that large. Such a mortar will have no power, far worse than a rocket. This kind of explosive is naturally picy acid explosive.
It is very difficult to create a better digestion of glycerin explosives. On the contrary, it is picric acid explosives, which were used as pigments, but have been used for more than 100 years before they were discovered and dyed with yellow clothes.
Later, after the discovery of picric acid, the French were caught and began to produce it on a large scale. Later, the British also learned it, which can be said to be a very, very mysterious and precious thing.
