Guo Kang had arrived very early, but when he arrived, he found that Lama Wang and his follower Wu Han were already waiting for him at the door. Not only that, he also brought Tuo Huan over and said he wanted to conduct an evaluation.
Several people said hello, and Lama Wang shook his whisk, asked Wu Han to take notes today, and took the lead in walking in.
"Master Wang, why are you so positive today?" Guo Kang joked.
"A group of new monks are coming here to visit." Lama Wang said: "In addition to checking the progress with you today, I also have to go meet them and see if I can get them to join in."
"Also, I've invited Tuo Huantai Ji here to see if any of your things can be used elsewhere."
"The things I have here are purely for work. They would be good to use in worship ceremonies." Guo Kang vaccinated him in advance: "I guess there is nothing that can be used as a weapon, so don't expect too much."
"It's not bad that you can make a living." Tuo Huan pointed out: "It doesn't mean that we have to wait until we draw the sword before we can count it as a war. War is a very long-term process."
"Even if you make a tool that makes the soldiers happy and relieves stress, it will be helpful to the war." He said, and then remembered what happened before: "By the way, the one you mentioned before can maintain its quality. Is there any hope of producing military rations?"
"What is that?" Lama Wang asked curiously.
"He told me that there is a way to preserve military rations for a longer period of time." Tuohuan told him: "There are many small bugs in the world around us, and they are floating everywhere. We usually can't see them, and we can't. You can’t feel them, but when a person is weak, some of them will take advantage of it and make them sick; if food is left outside, it will be corroded and corrupted by these bugs.”
"You see, some food will go bad if left for a long time. In fact, the bugs eat part of it and then excrete it. These excrements are often poisonous and have an unpleasant smell. Sometimes, things will grow hair, which is also What the bugs spit out is probably the same as spiders.”
"Wait, what is this?" Lama Wang was quite surprised: "Are you sure there is such a bug?"
"Zhenren Chongxu, Lie Yukou, once said in a book that there is a kind of insect called Jiao Borer." Tuohuan rarely encounters a time when he is more knowledgeable than others, so he quickly educates him: "Liezi said, this insect is extremely powerful." They are so small that a group of insects can land on a mosquito's eyelashes together, with space between them. They can fly here and there and fly away without the mosquitoes being able to feel them."
"There are many types of these little bugs, with different behaviors and products. The scorch borer is just one of them. However, this knowledge is very unknown. I only found out after listening to Guo Kangan's answer. Have you never heard of it? , and it’s normal.”
"Don't you think it's strange?" Wang Da Lama questioned: "This bug flies everywhere and poops everywhere, but we can only find it when it poops on the food we eat? It stands to reason that it is everywhere. It's all in my nose. Isn't that disgusting, and I can't help it pooping in my mouth."
"People poop while eating. If there is nothing to eat in their mouths, where will they poop for you? Think about it, if there is food residue in your mouth and you haven't rinsed it out, will it change the taste later?" He asked in disbelief.
"Furthermore, these bugs are just like the big bugs we usually see. Most of them can't pull out any smelly things - look at the bees, they can also pull out honey. If you want to eat what others pull out, you have to Spend money on it.”
"That makes sense." After hearing this, Lama Wang hesitated a little.
"Have you never read Liezi's book?" Tuohuan pointed to his whisk: "Didn't you say that it is also Taoist? It's called, it's called..."
""Chongxu Zhenjing"." Guo Kang explained to him.
"Yes, that's it." Tuohuan nodded quickly.
"I have read the book, but I really didn't think about it before." Wang Dalai Lama pondered: "The main thing is this part, I didn't talk too much about it, so I don't know the real meaning. And this statement is too weird..."
"That's weird, Liezi said it himself." Tuo Huan scolded: "Are you as smart as your ancestors?"
"Uh..." Seeing Tuohuan holding a real Taoist man down on him, Lama Wang became embarrassed and poked his chin with a whisk, but in the end he said nothing.
"So, what is the use of your research?" Wu Han asked curiously from the side.
"I have read the war history before." Tuo Huan said: "When Belisarius was attacking the Vandals, the bread prepared as military rations was not baked before the army went out, so it went bad. The soldiers ate the spoiled food. Bread, vomiting and diarrhea, and in the end more than 500 people died of poisoning.”
"In the entire Vandal War, no more than five hundred Roman soldiers died on the battlefield." He added: "Look, that's why I say that the battlefield is just a part of the war. If we understand the habits of insects and master How helpful can pest control skills be to the military."
"So that's it." Lama Wang also figured it out and said to Guo Kang: "Okay, if you need to try anything else, just tell me. Wherever the church can help, it will definitely help."
"Hey, don't worry about the bugs or not. As long as we can make good military rations, even if bugs bite my mouth, I'll admit it!" Wang Da Lama looked determined. It seemed that he was willing to risk everything for war supplies.
He made up his mind, called Guo Kang and continued on his way.
At the gate, several Greek priests had arrived and were waiting for them. Then Lama Wang walked up and bowed and greeted them one by one.
"Dean John, you are already familiar with me, so no introduction is needed." He smiled at a bearded man, then pointed at the thin middle-aged man next to him, and said to Guo Kang: "This is Dmitri Monk. He brought his brothers from the monastic order to visit here today."
"You are Mr. Guo Kang, hello!" Dmitri couldn't wait to shake hands with him: "I heard that you are a knowledgeable philosopher and have been educated by Seris scholars. We admire you very much. work, so I came here specifically to see your results.”
"I heard that you are engaged in research on lightning and light, and I saw the display equipment you gave us, and I was deeply shocked by it." He was obviously enthusiastic, but there was still some hesitation in his words: "But, you also know , many people believe that thunder and lightning are the power of God. Is there really no problem if we do this?"
"Don't worry, this was all experimented by the sage Aristotle." Guo Kang nodded and told him according to what he had already arranged: "These studies of mine are also based on his results back then. Last time The 'captured lightning' given to you was also made very simply based on his theory."
"Okay, it's normal to find this kind of thing surprising. However, don't dwell on the issue of inappropriate combinations." Wang Dalai Lama, who is eager to learn and practice, said helpfully: "The ancient philosophers have studied it all a long time ago. Now, can you be as smart as Aristotle?"
"ah……"
