The night is vast and silent.
In the rustling evening breeze, a bright light suddenly lit up. Its brilliance is like a sharp sword in the darkness, carving out an epoch-making edge.
Epoch-making?
Isn't that a bit exaggerated?
not at all.
Because, Qi Yu saw a very shocking scene from the passing of the evening breeze just now.
That lamp was not blown out by the wind!
Of course!
It is covered with a glass cover, how can it be blown out?
In fact, it was not the case. This seemingly ordinary phenomenon brought great inspiration to Qi Yu.
He believes that this kind of lamp can be used at the military level and is very appropriate.
Well……
The two seem to be a bit unrelated!
No, let’s listen carefully.
After designing the hot air balloon, Qi Yu has been imagining around it.
Thinking about how to evolve it into a practical strategy.
It is almost certain that its emergence will enrich the way the army fights, evolving from the original ground confrontation to a two-dimensional joint attack on land and air.
As long as God doesn't hold back, hot air balloons can appear on the battlefield.
But here comes the problem.
The hot air balloon is just a simple carrier and does not have any attack capabilities. In other words, only when it is equipped with weapons can it shine as brightly as it should.
So, what kind of attack weapon is suitable for it?
The simplest and crudest way is to directly carry the stone up and then throw it down from high altitude, using its strong falling force to kill the enemy.
This method may seem awesome, but it’s actually the worst option.
The carrying capacity of a hot air balloon is very limited. Apart from the weight of the people and fuel, there is not much space available for carrying it.
Wouldn't it be a waste of resources to waste it on heavy stones?
Moreover, the probability of damage from hitting someone with a stone is not very high. Throwing it a hundred times may not be worth an ordinary shotgun. Therefore, this method only increases laughter and is not practical at all.
In addition to throwing stones, the only option left is shooting from high altitude.
That is, the musketeers shoot from high in the air towards the ground.
Although this method seems to work, its harmfulness seriously falls short of expectations.
Qi Yu's expectation is to get as close to a 'destructive blow' as possible, and only that level of destructive power can change the situation of the battle.
Oh, if only dynamite could be developed.
Any air strike that rolls over can knock him off his feet.
But this is just a fantasy.
Although the difference between gunpowder and dynamite is only one word, there is a huge difference in the difficulty of making them.
Until the level of 'nitroglycerin' is completely broken, don't even think about explosives.
Without explosives, we can only find other ways.
It wasn't until one day that kerosene was purified that Qi Dalang found his true direction.
Why not use this stuff to make incendiary bombs for hot air balloon air raids?
The destructive power of this weapon is extremely powerful, no less powerful than explosives.
The idea is good, but in reality it is difficult to implement.
Although incendiary bombs are weapons of mass destruction, they need to be ignited by an open flame to explode. Otherwise, it will become the most common falling object from high altitude, with almost no destructive power at all.
However, an open flame falling from a high altitude will be extinguished by the airflow along the way, and when it reaches the ground, it will lose its igniting effect.
It's like if you drop a burning oil lamp from a height, the final result is that it is blown out by the air current.
Therefore, how to keep the lead wire alive during high-speed flight has become an urgent problem to be solved.
The scene where the kerosene lamp was not extinguished when blown by the wind just now gave Qi Yu the inspiration to start a new project.
Isn't this what I desperately need?
As long as this lamp is slightly improved, it can be used with the fuse of the incendiary bomb.
Who says lamps can only be used for lighting?
If you use it properly, it can transform into a military weapon!
It is precisely for this reason that Qi Yu praised it as a sharp edge with epoch-making significance.
The harvest from this trip was huge, and I finally left with satisfaction.
"I'll go first, you stay here to take care of the rest."
"Oh, by the way, don't tell them about my arrival, so as not to put pressure on little friend Chu Zhongtian. Also, go and say hello to Dean Long Shitong of the Polytechnic Institute, and say, this child must Focus on training without making mistakes.”
"Yes, my lord!"
After the arrangements were made, Qi Yu hurried back to the provincial capital of Qiongzhou in high spirits.
However, he did not return to his home, but transferred to Sun Yuegong's house.
This old boy has done something wrong, shouldn't he find a way to solve it?
You can't, you can enjoy the glory and wealth here, but let the Chu mother and son suffer outside, right?
To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be tied, so this matter must be resolved by Sun Bao.
"The bright moon shines in the sky, and I knock on the door under the moon."
"Who is the knocker?"
"Haha, you are not alone in your reputation!"
"Ah...are you Mr. Qi?"
As soon as he heard that the young protector of the country was coming, Sun Bao immediately changed from a proud posture to a humble one, and even trotted out to open the door.
During today's meeting, Qi Yu skipped the pleasantries and walked into the living room with a dark face.
No need to let me go, we can sit by ourselves.
Sun Yue Gong was shocked when he saw this, and thought to himself: Looking at Master Qi's appearance, he seems a little unhappy!
In order to avoid getting into trouble by stroking the tiger's beard, he was very careful about his words and actions, drinking more tea and talking less.
Seeing that he remained silent, Qi Yu could only take the initiative to ask: "Qi has something unclear and would like to ask Professor Sun for advice."
"Lie to Kangxi"
"How can I dare to claim to be a professor in front of you? Your Excellency, you can call me by my first name. There is nothing wrong with it." Sun Yue Gong did not dare to ask for help. He quickly bowed and corrected him, and then said: "I don't know what your questions are, but I said It’s okay.”
Qi Yu smiled and asked, "What should one do as a teacher?"
Sun said respectfully and replied: "My lord, if you are a teacher, you should set an example and set an example. Confucius said, if the person is upright, he will act without being told; if the person is not upright, he will not follow the order. The great way of a teacher covers all aspects of the world. , everything is inseparable from it.”
Tsk tsk, the answer is quite gorgeous.
I just don’t know, do you feel guilty for saying this?
Qi Yu nodded seemingly satisfied and asked, "What if a teacher does something unconscionable?"
"Uh, this..."
"Um?"
Sun Yuegong finally realized something was wrong and began to hesitate.
He had a feeling that there was a hidden pitfall in this question. No matter whether he judged it positively or answered negatively, he would not gain any benefit.
