Chapter 014 Imperial Army
Two months have passed since the start of school, and it is early December. This time is a relatively important time period for the Ming Empire, that is, the winter recruitment of the Imperial Army begins.
Since the summer and winter conscription was implemented during the Shenlong period of Huizong, the entire empire has been like this for more than 600 years. According to the past rules, priority should be given to recruiting fresh college students. They will take a leave of absence from their freshman year. After two years of compulsory service, they will retain their student status and continue to study. .
"Squad leader, are you going?"
Faced with Nangong Xiyue's inquiry, Song Boxian shook his head and refused without thinking. Based on their family's background, it was not unreasonable to want to be a soldier. However, over the past hundreds of years, the empire has become a global empire today. The country with the largest territory, the most population, and the most developed technology in the world stands at the top of the world's nations. This big country has accumulated strength over thousands of years, and basically no one dares to challenge it.
Since the European battlefield that began in the late years of Emperor Zhongzong's reign was called the 'World War I', the empire has not had a major war for more than three hundred years. Even if there has been, it has been nothing more than proxy wars and local petty conflicts. Therefore, serving as a soldier is no longer the first choice for Ming Dynasty nobles.
If Song Boxian chooses to join the army, he has reason to believe that he will be beaten to death by his father. Moreover, his uncle is not that easy to get along with. Even if he joins the army, he will most likely be sent to Xizhou or Zhongzhou after training. Stationed in a remote place, it is far from being as simple as those common people thinking that nobles can use their connections to rise to power.
"No, don't you know that saying? A good man can't be a soldier, and a good man can't be a soldier?"
Nangong Xiyue chuckled: "It's okay if you don't go, it's okay if you don't go..."
Song Baixian tilted his head and looked at her: "You, it's none of your business whether I go or not?"
Just as Nangong Xiyue was about to refute, Zhang Yujuan, the class teacher, walked into the classroom and said, "How many students in our class are willing to sign up to join the army?"
Without exception, people who can enter Songjiang University have some small thoughts. People who can join the army after the college entrance examination have not chosen to go, how can they choose to join the army after entering university?
Therefore, Zhang Yujuan learned nothing in the classroom. After learning that no one in the entire class chose to join the army, she went to reply to the Academic Affairs Office.
"Speaking of which, it seems that our Ming army has not experienced a war for more than three hundred years, right?"
After Zhang Yujuan left, a male classmate suddenly said: "Do you think our army of the Ming Dynasty can defeat the army of the American Empire now? Look, at the beginning of this century, the Russian Empire just defeated the Grand Duchy of Ukraine in Europe. There are many To save face..."
Hearing this, Song Boxian couldn't help but interject: "If you have nothing to do, don't read the public analysis on the Internet. Let's take a look at the daily reports from the Russian Empire at that time. The Russian army pushed all the way to Warsaw when the war started. Right? What was the result? The national economy, which was secretly stumbled by the "NATO Alliance" led by the United States, almost collapsed. This war was originally about adults beating children, but it ended up being fought for two years. The war reminds us that wars in modern society are no longer like the cold weapons era four hundred years ago. Victory cannot be won by relying on crowds, but comprehensive national strength is what matters."
"Hey, squad leader, I think many analysts are saying that Tsarist Russia won only because it sold us the natural gas and oil blocked by Europe?"
"I don't know about this," Song Boxian shook his head: "But in the game between big powers, there are some methods that we cannot guess, lest we get into trouble."
"I know. One of my best friends in Tsarist Russia said that our Daming Sky Company's drones were sold to Tsarist Russia in large quantities. They can win this battle, and the drones have a great contribution."
Other students were still talking about the war that happened more than ten years ago. Song Boxian had already stood up and walked out of the classroom. He took a few breaths of fresh air outside the classroom. Just after stretching, he saw Zhang Yujuan returning. Just as he was about to say hello, the class teacher Then he waved to him.
Song Boxian didn't understand the past, so Zhang Yujuan said: "Xiao Song, come with me to the Academic Affairs Office."
"I?"
Song Boxian carefully recalled that he had not offended his only enemy, Zhang Botao, in the past month, and that guy had never come to provoke him, so it was probably not a bad thing.
The director of the Academic Affairs Office is a middle-aged woman in her fifties, surnamed Huang, who looks very amiable. Zhang Yujuan said that Director Huang's husband is the magistrate of a certain prefecture in Zhongzhou, and his family also has some background.
After saluting, Director Huang asked Song Boxian: "Student Song, the last article you published "On the Neutralization and Reuse of Seawater in Quantum Splitting" has been recognized by the Academy of Engineering. This is the notification letter,"
After handing the notification letter to Song Boxian, Director Huang continued: "The Academic Affairs Office of the Academy of Engineering has given permission for you to publish this article on the Imperial Digest Summary website. The school has applied for a patent for you as soon as possible after receiving the news. The review time is about Three days.”
Song Boxian couldn't hide his excitement, and the hand holding the notification letter couldn't help trembling. When he and Zhang Yujuan walked out of the Academic Affairs Office, Song Boxian couldn't help shouting anymore, then turned around and hugged Zhang Yujuan and laughed.
Zhang Yujuan, who was only in her 20s, suddenly blushed when Song Boxian hugged her like this. Before she could start to struggle, Song Boxian had already let go of her, and then said with a smile: "Class teacher, let's go, I'm treating you today..."
Song Boxian's article has been brewing since he was in high school, and entering the chemistry department of Songjiang University was his pursuit. Soon after the class started, he took Nangong Xiyue and Han Shijia from his class to start implementing his research plan.
"The helium peroxide produced during the quantum splitting process can effectively remove the salt-alkali components present in seawater. After calcination, the seawater flowing out of the filter becomes fresh water. Of course, it is water without any mineral components. It is no different from the pure water we make. If necessary, add mineral ingredients to the water injector, hehe..."
During the dinner, Song Boxian was chatting, and the four people sitting with him were Zhang Yujuan, Nangong Xiyue, Liu Zixi and Han Shijia. Liu Zixi came to have a meal after receiving Song Boxian’s crazy WeChat message. After all, he was a class assistant, so there was no problem in having a meal. .
"Baekhyun, does the quantum splitting process require the addition of specific substances?"
Ever since Liu Zixi called Song Boxian that way, Zhang Yujuan also thought it was appropriate to call him that way.
Song Boxian smiled mysteriously. As an important backbone of the research team, he naturally knew that this was a secret that belonged to him. Even Nangong Xiyue and Han Shijia did not know about it: "Well, it is not convenient to announce this now, so I will just say one thing. As long as the final research is successful, our Ming Dynasty can become the first country in the world to desalinate seawater without using seawater desalination plants. This patent... hahaha..."
The reason why Song Boxian laughed so loudly was because he saw that his 'money future' was bright...
Liu Zixi said disdainfully: "Looking at that guy's appearance, do you really think you got rich overnight?"
Zhang Yujuan said warmly: "Zixi, please don't be sour. As long as Bai Xian's patent is successful, all the coastal prefectures in Xizhou will be able to use cheap tap water, and there will be an endless supply of sea water. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
After Song Bo Xianyi finished his sexual intercourse, he looked at Nangong Xiyue and Han Shijia and said: "Although I thought of this project, you two have helped me a lot in the past month. In addition to the due benefits in the future, in the end you will The names of the two of them will also be signed by me, so just please..."
"Here, let's drink to the money..."
After dinner, all five of them drank some wine. There were still three hours before the dormitory closed. Liu Zixi sent Nangong Xiyue and Han Shijia back to school first. Song Boxian followed Liu Zixi's arrangement and sent class teacher Zhang Yujuan to the school staff dormitory.
Songjiang University is very wealthy and allocates a dormitory community to every employee. Song Boxian and Liu Zixi only went to the staff community to the east of the school once last month to deliver materials, but they never entered Zhang Yujuan's unit building.
Zhang Yujuan didn't drink too much, she was slightly tipsy, but her steps were a little unsteady. Song Boxian supported her shoulders. It wasn't until Zhang Yujuan unlocked the door with her fingerprint that Song Boxian had a general understanding of the internal environment.
The whole house should be about 130 square meters, which is smaller than their home of more than 200 square meters, but strictly speaking, it is already a big deal for a single young woman to live in such a big house.
Putting Zhang Yujuan on the sofa, Song Boxian stood up and inadvertently saw the happy couple in Zhang Yujuan's skirt. The pink lace made his heart beat wildly. Fortunately, Zhang Yujuan drank wine. If she caught him peeking again, his eyes would Zi must be poached.
Song Boxian, who had done something bad, swallowed his saliva and left quickly. He took the opportunity to change the subject and said, "Teacher, let me make you a cup of tea. Is there any tea in your refrigerator?"
"Um...it seems there is..."
Zhang Yujuan lay on the sofa and waved.
Song Boxian opened the refrigerator, boiled water on the hot water machine, and walked over with the sobering tea: "Teacher, I put the tea here for you. You can drink it after it warms up to avoid discomfort."
Zhang Yujuan bent her legs, and the pink lace once again made Song Boxian look at her. Song Boxian trembled all over, then swallowed, and was about to get up and leave. Zhang Yujuan suddenly grabbed Song Boxian's hand and said softly: "Don't Walk..."
"Class...class teacher..."
"Don't go...I'm afraid..."
"Afraid?"
Song Boxian tilted his head and took a look. Good guy, Zhang Yujuan actually fell asleep while lying down, but her hand was tightly clasped on him. In order not to disturb her, Song Boxian didn't pull hard.
After calming down, Song Boxian looked at Zhang Yujuan's appearance carefully, and then discovered that Zhang Yujuan looked no worse than Liu Zixi, and because of her age, she had the beauty of a mature woman all over her body. For some reason, Song Boxian suddenly felt It's like having an electric shock...
"No way..."
Song Boxian quickly shook his head. Although Zhang Yujuan was only 26 years old, she was 9 years older than him. If he was with her, his parents would definitely not be able to pass the test.
"The more he thinks about it, the more confused he becomes..."
