Qiongzhou City, artillery workshop.
Qin Yun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly as he looked at the artillery produced at full capacity and the explosive shells made of stone.
With this good stuff, it is enough for the enemy to drink a pot.
"Yang Yong!"
"The humble position is here."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Go ahead and increase the wages of each worker by 30%. In addition, we will give each worker extra chicken drumsticks tonight."
Yang Yong raised his hand: "Your Majesty is wise!"
A group of artillery factory workers also cheered.
After leaving the artillery factory, Qin Yun came to the dock again.
The previous trials of these Shenlong ships exposed many problems. These include counterweights, viewing frames, sails, etc.
After all, the original large ship was an ordinary troop transport ship, but now it has side windows, iron sheets and rams added, so the counterweight has naturally changed.
Fortunately, after the last surprise attack on Turtle Island, Lu Ban and Zhutie Ling quickly discovered the problem and are now stepping up rectification.
"Your Majesty, Master Caster said he has something good to show His Majesty."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Oh, what good thing?"
Yang Yong said with a smile: "Rong Bei's position is at stake!"
Qin Yun: "When did you learn to speak glibly?"
Yang Yong chuckled: "This is not what I said, this is Master Zhu's."
"Okay, let's go take a look!"
Qin Yun followed Yang Yong. Along the way, workers were walking in a hurry. There were workers carrying bamboo racks, workers pushing wheelbarrows to transport materials, and trackers sweating profusely and shouting slogans.
"Hey, one, two, three, four, brothers, work harder. I heard that the brothers in the artillery factory are adding chicken legs. Let's stay behind and try to get to the sea as soon as possible."
Under the big boat, Qin Yun pointed at the person who spoke and asked, "What's his name?"
Yang Yong bowed: "Back to your lord, this is Zheng Jing. He is one of the captains of this dragon ship. He was recruited from the fishermen of Qiongzhou in a humble position. Not only is he familiar with the sea conditions nearby, he also hates pirates. , it is said that his parents were kidnapped by pirates when he was eight years old."
Qin Yun had a smile in his eyes: "surnamed Zheng? Interesting."
Yang Yong naturally didn't know what Qin Yun was referring to.
After all, in his previous life, Qin Yun also had a man named Zheng in his memory, who had made seven voyages to the West and subdued the barbarians.
"This person should be trained intensively!"
Yang Yong nodded.
When he walked to the big ship, Zheng Jing glanced at Qin Yun. However, because Qin Yun liked to wear ordinary clothes when traveling, the other party did not recognize him and continued to greet everyone to use ropes and bamboo poles to drop things on board.
But at this moment, an accident suddenly occurred. The hemp rope that was originally as thick as an arm suddenly broke due to wear and tear, and the thousand-pound iron plate above was about to fall down.
Zheng Jing hurriedly shouted: "Danger, get out of the way!"
He threw himself at the worker who was standing in a daze under the iron plate. The worker stumbled out, but the iron plate pressed on Zheng Jing.
The eyes of all the workers were about to burst: "Master Zheng!"
But when they swarmed up, they found a handsome young man directly above them, holding a hemp rope and tying a linen cloth with one hand.
Yang Yong hurriedly stepped forward: "Bring Zheng Jing out quickly!"
Everyone hurriedly carried Zheng Jing out. Fortunately, there were only a few scratches.
"boom!"
Qin Yun let go of the hemp rope and the iron plate hit the beach.
Zheng Jing was reminded by the workers and hurried forward.
"Little man Zheng Jing, thank you for saving my life!"
Qin Yun waved his hand: "No need."
Yang Yong suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, you still won't kneel down in front of me!"
Qin Yun glared at Yang Yong, but Zheng Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and he quickly fell to the ground.
"My lord, I finally see you!"
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Yun looked at the broken hemp rope and asked, "Zheng Jing, have you encountered any difficulties at work?"
"Go back to your lord, there will be no difficulties. If there are any difficulties, we will overcome them."
Qin Yun nodded, and he invited Yang Yong to scold him: "How many times have I told you that you must pay attention to safety when working. From today on, we will set up safety officers to check safety at any time."
"Your Majesty, this... no need!"
Yang Yong paused.
Qin Yun: "Follow the order and get some paper and pen."
"promise!"
Not long after, Yang Yong brought a pen and paper, and soon a simple lifting frame with fixed pulleys was drawn.
"This ship is ten feet high. It is laborious and time-consuming to transport things by hanging ropes alone. It is built according to the drawing above."
"My lord, what is this?"
Qin Yundao: "You can understand it as a human crane. You won't understand it even if I explain it to you. You can just give it to Master Zhu when the time comes."
"Let's go see Master Zhu!"
Zheng Jing bowed, Qin Yun nodded slightly and turned to leave.
At this time, a group of workers gathered around and said, "Master Zheng is so lucky to be saved by the prince himself!"
Zheng Jing was annoyed and rolled his eyes at the person who spoke: "How about I give you this blessing?"
The man paused and then waved his hands repeatedly: "I still have a wife and children."
Zheng Jing said in a deep voice: "Listen to the prince, everyone should pay attention to safety when working."
"promise!"
A worker asked: "Mr. Zheng, do you think we can really eradicate pirates with all our hard work?"
Zheng Jing muttered: "It must be possible! If the pirates are not eliminated, how can we live a stable life?"
"Every plank you carry and every nail you knock is a heavy blow to the pirates!"
"Master Zheng is so literate in his words. Let's get to work, brothers."
"Hey, let's fight pirates~~"
…
Hearing the words of the people in the distance, Qin Yun's lips twitched. It seemed that he was doing a pretty good job in political work.
Qin Yun built an army, and naturally it couldn't be a team. It was just for the sake of making achievements and earning military pay. He had already ordered Wang Muzhi to start ideological work.
Let everyone understand why we are fighting.
"Yang Yong, the boatmen's wages will also increase by 30%, plus chicken legs."
"yes!"
But Yang Yong still asked with some confusion: "Your Majesty, we have already paid wages higher than the market price, why are we still so kind to them? If it were the fiefdom of other princes, they would be directly captured for corvee service, let alone Even if you give me money, you still have to bring your own dry food.”
Qin Yun chuckled: "I'm not a black-hearted capitalist. I've already made them 007, so I can't give them more benefits!"
"Zero zero seven?"
Yang Yong scratched his head. He was no longer surprised by Qin Yun's strange words.
Not long after, the two came to a testing site.
"Your Majesty, we're here. I'll call Master Zhu to come out!"
Qin Yun looked up at the sky and saw several mechanical eagles flying in the sky. The only difference from before was that these eagles were tied to ropes and looked more like kites.
Qin Yun smiled: "Interesting!"
At this time, Zhutie Ling came out. When he saw Qin Yun, he hurriedly handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, let me show you the flying eagle, a mechanism improved by the old man."
Qin Yun nodded: "It's a good thing, but you can't carry people! It would be great if we could get an airship or a hot air balloon."
Zhutie Ling paused: "Hot air balloon?"
Qin Yun walked to the scattered canvas aside and tore off a small piece. Then he took a bamboo tube, broke apart a bullet, poured gunpowder into the bamboo tube, put some dead grass in it, and then shot both sides of the bamboo tube. Two empty.
Thread the rope through the hole and tie the other end to the canvas.
"Huozhezi!"
Yang Yong hurriedly took it out and handed it over. Qin Yun lit the gunpowder in the bamboo tube and the withered grass burned.
This simple heating device is formed, and the bamboo tube slowly floats into the air.
Zhutie Ling's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, is this the thermal expansion and contraction in that "Physics" book?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Oh, I didn't expect you to also read the book written by this king."
Zhutie Ling: "Of course, I admire the great physicist named Newton in the book. If he had been born in our time, he would also be the minister of the Ministry of Industry. After reading this book, many people who would not have been able to After understanding the principles of the Mohist organ technique, I have a deeper understanding."
“That’s why we made this kite version of the flying eagle!”
Qin Yun said: "Keep up the good work, but this flying eagle won't have much effect!"
Zhutie Ling smiled: "Your Highness, wait and see!"
As he spoke, Zhutie Ling leisurely took out his flare gun and fired a shot into the air.
The mechanical flying eagle, which was originally tied by a rope, suddenly broke away from the rope and began to hover in the air.
Qin Yun's eyes lit up, and he admitted that he had made a mistake. The Mo family's mechanism skills were really good.
Zhu Tieling smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the mechanical flying eagle can only take off from high places originally, but there is no such condition on the sea. This version of the mechanical flying eagle is lighter and more compact. It can stand on the mast of a big ship and take off in the wind. I also equipped each person who controls the flying eagle with grenades."
"My lord, please look!"
Qin Yun looked up and saw several mechanical eagles in the sky, circling and flying towards an open space. Then the man above took out a grenade from the wings, pulled the rope, and threw it away at the right time.
"Bang!"
There was a sand pit on the ground instantly.
Qin Yun exclaimed: "It's amazing, the Air Force has even dropped bombs."
Zhutie Ling said very proudly: "Lao Chan's mechanical flying eagle used to be able to detect the enemy's situation, but now it can attack."
Qin Yun: "Okay, this thing can continue to be researched and developed."
Zhutie Ling shook his head: "No, I am going to change the direction of research and develop the hot air balloons and floating airships that the prince mentioned."
Qin Yun smiled and said: "If you can complete it within three years, I will grant you a title."
Zhutie Ling shook his head: "I don't want a title. I beg the prince to give me a few more books similar to "Physics"!"
Qin Yun was speechless. It was good that he could memorize this. Are you planning to develop cruise missiles or drones?
Qin Yun shook his head, just think about those things.
However, we can indeed continue to study the drone bomb delivery. After all, in Qin Yunlai's era, drone bomb delivery had become a new tactic on the battlefield, and the effect was outstanding.
If you can't do it yourself, why don't you set up an artificial bombing headquarters?
After inspecting the dock, Qin Yun returned to Prince Liang's Mansion.
But the little medical fairy sat on the threshold with her head propped up and looking at the sky, seeming a little unhappy.
Qin Yun stepped forward and covered her eyes from behind.
"Guess who I am?"
The little medical fairy punched him with a pink fist: "Guess you are a big-headed ghost!"
"What's wrong? Who provoked you?" Qin Yun held him in his arms.
The little medical fairy hummed and turned away: "You!"
Qin Yun was stunned: "Me? Why?"
"Why did you say? Where have you been sleeping these past few days?"
Qin Yun paused and then laughed.
"Let's go drink!"
"That's more or less the same, Wenhe or Wuhe?"
Qin Yun was speechless when he thought of the Little Medical Fairy's hobbies. Her Wen drink was to do something after drinking, while Wu drink was to do something while drinking.
"what ever!"
The little fairy doctor's eyes were sly: "Then let's fight!"
