I didn't expect it, it was just so close, and you would never be able to find out without breaking the window paper.
Seeing the sparks in the dark night, Dai Zi felt that a bright light appeared in the fog in his heart.
"Yes, I thought of it." Dai Zi was ecstatic. "At first, the ancients only knew how to live with the help of heavenly fire. Later, they mastered friction to make fire. The matchlock gun originally used the ignition method of match rope. Why can't there be other ways to ignite the fire?" You can borrow fire from the sky, you can make fire by friction, you can make fire with a match rope, you can make fire by impact."
As expected of a top student who had returned from studying abroad, Wang Busheng was very satisfied after hearing Dai Zi's words. Ru Zi Ke Teachable also said, "There is more than one way to the capital, and all roads lead to the capital."
"Thank you for your advice. I have benefited a lot." This thank you to Dai Zi comes from the bottom of his heart. It is easy to think but difficult to think of. Wang Busui was able to come up with the method of impact ignition to ignite the gunpowder. It also shows that Wang Busui is not useless except for making money. If you don’t know anything about firearms, it’s impossible to think of it.
Although they didn't know what Wang Bushit said, everyone saw Dai Zi's expression and knew that the idea proposed by Wang Bushit was very important to Dai Zi and opened the door to a new world.
Impact ignition is the most widely used ignition method for weapons in later generations. It is not surprising that Wang Busui could think of it. However, for the ancients, they could know the four writing methods of Hui, but they knew nothing about firearm ignition or even firearms. Who knows, people who have spent their lives working to get promoted and make a fortune would not notice these miraculous tricks.
Although firearms have existed and developed in our country for a long time, in the world of ordinary people, everything is unfamiliar. How can we not be surprised that Wang Busui understands this?
"Sir, you have been exposed to firearms before." Liu Mei asked with admiring eyes.
Wang Bushit thought about it again and again, then nodded, "If firecrackers are considered firearms, I can also be considered as having played with them."
"How can firecrackers be compared with firearms? Firecrackers are for entertaining everyone, while firearms are for conquering the world."
"What a profound insight, but as a businessman, what you need to conquer the world is good products, not force."
Conquering the world has never occurred to Wang Busheng.
Seeing Dai Zi tinkering with those parts again, Wang Bushu reminded him, "There are also those matchlock components, which must be of a standard size, and it is extremely inconvenient to wear a gunpowder bag every time you shoot. Do you think there is a way to do it?" The gunpowder is packed in balls of the same size, and you only need to put the ball in every time you shoot."
Maybe he didn't know much about it at the moment, but Dai Zi also carefully took note of Wang Busheng's words, for fear that some omissions in Wang Busheng's words would have an impact on the improvement of the matchlock gun.
Although Wang Bushit had no idea of conquering the world, if the flintlock gun was invented under his own inspiration, the Ming Empire could have a voice on the world stage instead of living in the dream of its own great power.
"Sir, I will live up to your trust and do my best to develop the most advanced matchlock gun in the world."
"No, it's a flintlock".
"Yes, this is the idea put forward by your Excellency. The right to name it naturally belongs to you. If you say it is a flintlock gun, it is a flintlock gun."
Well, it's obviously a flintlock gun. If I had known it, I could have changed it to a domineering name.
"When doing research, you must look like you are doing research. Formalism is very important. In this way, Dai Zi appointed you as Jinyiwei's firearms consultant to take charge of the research and manufacturing of firearms. Huang Luzhuang Feng Ru and you will be the firearms consultant assistant and be responsible for Dai Zi's Let's start. The three of you are temporarily peripheral personnel of the Hundred Household Institute in Dongshi, and your salary is equivalent to that of a Jinyi Guards School Lieutenant."
Although Wang Bushu has no way to provide Jin Yiwei with the staff for the time being, he still has the power to use a few temporary workers. Of course, because of Jin Yiwei's poor financial situation, he can only bear the wages of the temporary workers he hires. But a wealthy and good-looking male protagonist like Wang Busheng doesn't care about the few dollars. Poor people are not worthy of being male protagonists.
Hearing Wang Bu's words, the three of them felt like they were in the clouds. It was so unreal. In just one sentence, they jumped from ordinary people to officials. Although it was temporary, there was still hope of becoming a full-time official. Maybe everyone couldn't understand the two. This gap will give future generations of hard-working wage earners who work twelve hours a day, no rest days, no holidays, and no five social insurances and one housing fund, suddenly a job that can work up to eight hours a day, with weekends off, holidays, and a belt. Annual leave, various benefits and bonuses, five social insurances and one housing fund, and a job where the salary is basically not enough, it all depends on whether you are happy or not.
The three people who returned from studying abroad felt that they were people who had experienced foreign ink and had seen a lot of the world. They would definitely be reused when they returned to China. How could they have thought that after returning to China for a while, they would be useless. This was something they never expected. The bottom-line educated people don't want to be freeloaders. They don't want to be useless. They also want to turn what they have learned into practice and use it in real applications. They don't live up to Wang Busui's kindness.
Just like children who want to be praised for their little red flowers, Dai Zi and the others just want to be recognized by others.
"Thank you, sir. I will never let down your expectations. If I can't successfully research the flintlock gun, I will be willing to rip off my own head and let the adults trample on me." Dai Zi was moved to tears.
You must know that the importance of firearms in the Ming Empire was far less than a good article or a good painting. It is useless to try to show off one's skills in the court of the Ming Dynasty. Today, he was reused and recognized by Wang Busheng. This was something Dai Zi could never have imagined in his wildest dreams. Horses with thousands of miles of horses are always there, but Bole might have been reincarnated into the animal realm.
"I am also willing to issue a military order, and I will spare no effort to assist Dai Zi. No, Consultant Dai will study the flintlock gun. If it fails, when the adults step on him, I am also willing to contribute my head." Feng Ru also expressed his position by patting his chest.
"Yes, count my head," Huang Luzhuang said immediately.
Their attitude of being grateful and willing to go through fire and water for them made Wang Bushit very satisfied, but Wang Bushit was not willing to accept the way they expressed their gratitude. After all, stepping on your head like a bubble requires not only foot strength, but also courage. And ruthless. No one with the slightest bit of kindness would be able to complete such a challenging task. What's the difference between this and having a class reunion at Shuangwaiwai Bathhouse?
He pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet. Since everyone was so confident, verbal support seemed to be a little less meaningful, so Wang Busheng continued to express his position, "Research is an arduous task, and it requires talents in this field. Fortunately, You are the talents. I have plenty of space here. As long as I need my bedroom, I can contribute it. There are also materials. Some things are available in retail workshops, but some things still need to be purchased. In this way, Liu Mei "Wang Bu Die" Greet Liu Mei.
"Master, what are your orders?" Her classmate was recognized and valued by the master, and Liu Mei was also honored. She died for her confidant, and even found a group of people to accompany her confidant to death.
"Liu Mei, research costs money. In this way, as long as it is spent on research, you can directly draw from my dividends from the snack workshop. You can give me as much as you want without any arrears."
Wang Busheng is not a picky person. After all, it costs a lot of money to start something from scratch. Without the support of silver, it is difficult to interview for flintlock guns. First of all, the coal and ore required for ironmaking are a considerable human expense.
After feeling the young master's openness, Liu Mei was not surprised at all by Wang Busheng's decision. She nodded and agreed, "Young master, don't worry, I will give priority to whatever is needed to study the flintlock gun. I will remember every necessary account clearly and give it to you when the time comes." Master, take a look."
Everyone is greedy for money, and every official is even more so. They always want to take other people's achievements and find the right time and the right reason to take them as their own. The three of them have also seen the world, whether at home or abroad. They have never seen anyone in foreign countries who is so willing to spend so much money on a trivial matter. Wang Busheng is the only one. And he still has so much trust in people like him who don’t have certificates.
Since then, I have no intention of loving Good Night, and let him go down to the west tower under the bright moon. What touches people is not only love, but also gratitude.
Men don't shed tears easily, who wants to shed tears for a man?
Waving his hand, he interrupted the three people's way of expressing gratitude that was not in line with the national conditions and people of the Ming Empire. Wang Busheng straightened his face and said, "But I'll start with my ugly words. You can do whatever you want to do with your research. I'll spend the money with you too. Take it." It is allowed by the imperial court and the people of the country to use my money to eat and drink. I will not spare you the money to eat and drink, but if you use my money to buy a car or a house, you will develop into impure men and women with many people. If you don’t have a relationship, let’s talk more about it. The Dongshi Baihu Office has just purchased a batch of torture instruments, which are right next door to you. I don’t want you to be the first to experience it.”
Later generations have seen too many scientific researchers who squander research funds. Wang Bushu also wants to keep his six roots pure and imagine everyone to be beautiful. However, dreams are still dreams after all. Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit. The world is too chaotic, what? Everyone has it, so we have to be on guard against it.
"Don't worry, sir. I'm not that kind of person. To be honest with you, we have studied abroad after all. If you want to find a job with a slightly better salary, you can still find a job. I heard that the interpreters hired by the Whiskey Tavern can earn hundreds of dollars a month." two". Feng Ru hurriedly explained.
"Yes, sir, we are not working for you for the money, we just hope that what we have learned can be used successfully and not be buried in the dust," Dai Zi followed closely.
"Sir, Dai Zi was very proficient in firearms when he was in the beautiful country, and he was also responsible for some research projects on the beautiful country's firearms. However, the beautiful country has serious racism, a self-willed nation, and is extremely xenophobic. It is difficult for Dai Zi to use his skills. Returning to the country Previously, Dai Zi raised the issue of why firearms need to be fired and loaded with gunpowder at a time, instead of being loaded with gunpowder and fired several times in a row, but they laughed at him as a fool."
Holy shit, isn’t this a machine gun? The first machine gun recognized in the history of world weapons was invented by the British-American Maxim in 1883, which was more than two hundred years ahead.
There is a sentence in "Manuscripts of the History of the Qing Dynasty": "Zi joined the army in civilian clothes and presented his art of continuous fire and blunderbuss." Ji Xiaolan also wrote in "Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage": "It is shaped like a pipa, and all the gunpowder and lead shot are stored in the ridge of the gun, which is opened and closed by the wheel. There are two machines, one with a handle like a male female, one with a lever. The machine then moves the gunpowder and lead pellets from the barrel, and the second machine moves simultaneously, the stone stimulates the fire, and the blunderbuss is fired. There are twenty-eight shots in total. When the gunpowder and lead pellets are used up, it needs to be stored again." "Manuscript of the History of the Qing Dynasty" The recorded Zi is Dai Zi. He developed a continuous-fire automatic rapid-fire weapon called the "Lianhuo Gun", but unfortunately no ruler paid attention to it.
Could it be that this Dai Zi is the other Dai Zi? The time tunnel was short-circuited due to arrears in the electricity bill. Dai Zi traveled to the Ming Dynasty. I wonder if Dai Zi will kowtow and bow to the Jianzhou Jurchen, the ancestor of Emperor Kangxi again, "I see you, slave." Overcoming the master".
"Dai Zi, what do you think of the Jianzhou Jurchen's hairstyle?" Wang Bushi asked tentatively.
Although I don't know why the adults asked this question, Dai Zi also said, "I don't agree with this kind of hairstyle. What the hell is it that you shave it all around and leave a tail?"
"Okay, I'm sure, I'm the only one who traveled through time. Dai Zi and the Manchu Dai Zi are just another weapons expert with the same name and the same ability."
Now that Dai Zi has the idea of Lianhuo Gun, how can the rich man Wang Bushit not support it, "Dai Zi, your idea of Lianhuo Gun is a good one, and it is necessary to work on it."
"No, sir, this is simply impossible. It's a fantasy."
"No, Dai Zi, I think it's feasible. In this way, you can research the flintlock gun first. When the flintlock gun is successfully researched, you can focus on the continuous fire gun." If you eat in one go and become a fat man, Wang Bu is not a person who is eager for success.
"Sir, in fact, not only is Dai Zi talented, the little one is also capable. The little one is very knowledgeable about machinery. He once invented a transportation tool that is more than three feet long, can seat one person, does not need to be pushed or pulled, and can move on its own. When walking, use your hands to turn the axis and turn around, and then you will go back to the beginning, staying and pulling the sun for eighty miles." Huang Luzhuang also recommended himself.
"bike"?
"Thank you, sir, for the name,"
"Uh, okay, you can make a few of them if you have time."
This bike has something in common with modern bicycles, such as "two wheels", "one person sitting", "self-propelled", and "hand-held". The first bicycle invented in the West did not have a "crank", which was similar to the pedals we ride on.
Wang Busheng didn't know what the difference was between Huangluzhuang's bicycles and the ones he had seen, so he made a few to see first.
"Thank you, sir. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"My lord, my lord, I am also a young one who came back from studying traditional Chinese in the beautiful school. Why can birds fly to the sky but humans can't?"
"Who says it's not possible? You can go to heaven after spending money, and the gods in heaven will also welcome you." Wang Busui complained in his heart that he had never seen Feng Ru in the market.
"I think you can go to heaven even if you are sitting in a shell."
"Well, this seems to be a plane." The research on aircraft is not something that a small snack workshop can bear. Wang Bushu hurriedly interrupted Feng Ru's self-recommendation, "Ahem, the matter of heaven is too dangerous, let's discuss it later."
They are all the same people, why would adults love him less? Feng Ru was very hurt. Even if the case is raised with eyebrows raised, it is difficult to settle the matter.
