Of course, the property rights of this airship belong to Zaichun. After all, Emperor Tongzhi spent real money to buy it. However, the operation of this airship is a technical job, and it can only be managed by Chinese technicians at the moment.
This engineer is of Chinese nationality and has no braids on his head!
Out of an inexplicable trust in Chinese technology, the crowd moved out of the alley to make way for the engineer, who was covered in oil and soot.
"TCM has the advantage of slowing down the body, but Western medicine is also a unique skill in rescuing the body! I don't understand other diseases, but for heart disease and stroke, I have special medicine..."
"Because I have a bad heart, and I once had signs of a stroke. Later, this was an experimental drug obtained through a relationship with Dr. Huang's medical university..."
"I told you in advance that this is an experimental drug and there is no guarantee that it will be 100% effective... It is very effective for me, but it is hard to say for others!"
"General Rongquan... If you are willing to take a gamble, just blink..."
Such a magical airship was parked in front of everyone. Who could say a word of disbelief? Rongquan quickly blinked hard.
"Okay, if you're willing to bet, let's try it...Open your mouth, who has a clean board to press the general's tongue on the upper teeth..."
The engineer took out a small silver bottle from his pocket. It was very small and delicate, only as thick as a thumb. He unscrewed the screw-top lid, and a spicy smell wafted out. People suddenly felt a little familiar.
"This is a special medicine. It can be taken sublingually... It is useless when taken normally. It is only useful when you are sick. By the way, it tastes very spicy. You may not be used to it..."
"Three drops of light yellow liquid were dropped under the tongue. Rongquan closed his mouth and let the medicine slowly penetrate into the mouth!"
Rong Quan felt as if he had swallowed a piece of extremely spicy chili oil under his tongue, and his face suddenly became bitter. The engineer quickly said, "Bear it, it is indeed uncomfortable, but you have to endure it... Carry the general down to rest." Well, give this bottle of medicine to the general as well, and take it once a day..."
"The rest can be treated by traditional Chinese medicine, but I don't know how to treat it!"
Doro asked from the side, "Excuse me...what kind of medicine is this?"
"Oh... you all know the name, it's nitroglycerin!"
"Ah? Isn't this the raw material used in Nobel explosives? Are you feeding the general?"
Why Nobel's explosives business is so big is not actually that he invented any new explosive raw materials, but that he improved the safety of nitroglycerin, making an extremely dangerous explosive more It's safe!
People in this era are completely unaware of another use of nitroglycerin, which is medicine! Nitroglycerin is an effective first-aid drug for treating heart disease and cardiovascular blockage!
But how to use nitroglycerin for medical use and how to prepare the concentration are the tasks of medical students. Nowadays, nitroglycerin for medical use has not been officially launched. If you really want to get this kind of special medicine, you can only do what this engineer did. Go to the medical university to ask for help and fill out the exemption application for voluntary drug testing.
In this way, you can get the experimental drugs supplied internally. The real drugs that are produced have not yet been released!
Everyone was feeling uneasy, wondering if this murderous explosive could save people's lives? Some die-hard soldiers of General Rongquan were a little angry and wanted to cause trouble.
Doro and Guan Lu glared at them fiercely before suppressing the soldiers.
"Unload the cargo! The airship has the artillery shells and medicines that the army urgently needs, and even sent you a batch of small iron heaters. Long live the Lord and the Marshal are willing to spend their money for you!"
"When the airship crossed the Tianshan Mountains, you narrowly escaped death. Do you know how we made it through? Everyone remembered it. We have to thank these Chinese engineers. Without them, we would not have been able to cross the Tianshan Mountains!"
"It's time to get to work...come and register with some account workers, get moving, get moving..."
The Qing troops chasing outside the city began to return to the city one after another before dark. This time the Rakshasa ghosts were really frightened. They did not even have a decent counterattack during this pursuit.
When the pursuing Qing troops returned to the city, their eyes widened at the scenery in the streets and alleys. They found that inside and outside the houses where soldiers and civilians were stationed, they were setting fires and making small stoves that were smoking.
The Chinese industrial product with the least technological content is actually the most useful necessity in this era, which is a small coal stove made of thin cast iron!
Inside the thin cast iron shell, people have to put a refractory layer on it by hand and mud, and then burn coal to make the refractory layer extremely hard.
I also brought a lot of tinplate airships. I used scissors to cut the chimneys myself. The whole afternoon was filled with jingling sounds everywhere in the city.
When it gets dark, some skillful soldiers have already built a coal stove in their house. The red charcoal fire is licking the clay pot, and large pieces of mutton are stewed in it. The aroma is overflowing!
The whole city is enveloped in a festive atmosphere. Today is the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month. The commander-in-chief has sent the most urgently needed heating coal stoves to the brothers. This winter, at last, fewer brothers will freeze to death.
In the general's mansion, Rong Quan took nitroglycerin and fell into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
He was surprised to find that the temperature in the room was much higher than before, and there was no sour charcoal gas at all. It turned out that there was a cast iron coal stove in the middle of the room, with a long chimney protruding from the hole in the window lattice. The smoke doesn't stay in the house at all.
"Two generals...you...what are you..." At this moment, Duoluo and Guan Lu were warming themselves around the coal stove, and the aroma of several potatoes was already filling the air.
"Hey...General Rongquan, you can speak again...this medicine is so powerful!" Duoluo and Guan Lu moved stools to the window and leaned on the pillow with General Rongquan.
Rong Quan shook his head, "Really... really... I feel my head is much lighter... it's a bit difficult to speak... but I can speak..."
"The Führer...how many magical...things does he have?"
"You two...I heard that you have been in contact with the Führer...can you tell me about him?"
At the mention of Xiao Letian, Doluo and Guan Lu subconsciously straightened their buttocks, as if Xiao Letian's eyes were shining on their backbones at that moment.
This was an action that came from the heart and almost became a conditioned reflex. Their subconscious fear and awe of Xiao Letian had reached the extreme.
"The head of state...no one can describe the head of state. After the general has finished fighting this battle, when he returns to the capital to receive the reward, if you have the chance, you should go and see it in person!"
"Anyway...anyway, it can make people fly in the sky...such a person is not a mortal!"
Rong Quan pondered for a moment, "You... how did you fly here? I really don't understand... how can people fly?"
