Liu Mingzhi motioned for Liu Song to open the heavy door of the warehouse, and waited until the dust in the warehouse was not so serious before walking in with his back hand: "You four come with me." ”

The four of them didn't hesitate to follow directly, maybe the four of them had understood that now they were fish and meat on the board to be slaughtered, trying to make themselves appear useful, and receiving some unexpected rewards.

After the four of them walked into the warehouse, they looked at the rows of neat and tidy large boxes in the warehouse, there were dozens of them, and as for what the boxes contained, even if they didn't know, the four of them understood that they must be valuable items inside, and gold, silver and jewelry were indispensable.

There may even be many things that they have never heard of or seen.

Liu Mingzhi walked straight to the wooden frame where the trolls were placed, lifted the cloth on it, and the copper bullet inside had already retreated, took out a copper bullet case and threw it on the ground: "Liu Song, bring a knife." ”

Liu Song took out a small scimitar from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Mingzhi: "Young Master, what are you going to do?" Why don't Komatsu do it for you? ”

Liu Dashao didn't say anything, took the knife and cautiously pried open the back cover on the bullet casing, he didn't dare to let Liu Song do it for him, in case Liu Song didn't know anything and chopped it with a knife to cause a spark, everyone in the warehouse didn't want to get out alive, there were a lot of taboo-like jars and jars stacked together, which were enough to raze the warehouse to the ground.

Pouring the black powder in the copper shell into the palm of his hand, Liu Dashao poured a little into the hands of the four hoes: "You four take a closer look, do you recognize what this thing is, have you seen this kind of thing anywhere else?" ”

The four of them carefully grinded the black powder in the palm of their hands with their fingers, and their faces were confused: "My lord, what is this black powder?" Flour? Why is it black? ”

When the four of them spoke, Liu Mingzhi stared intently at the eyes of the four people, his expression and tone could deceive people, but the eyes rarely deceived people, and it was not excluded that those who had strong minds existed, but the four people were obviously not that kind of people. Seeing that the four of them did not dodge together in their eyes, they were completely dazed, and Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, the four major inventions were spread by the Chinese, and in this world, it was also the Han people who developed the four major inventions, since the road of maritime trade was not opened, I think the four major inventions should not be circulated.

"It's nothing, it's just a powder for wounds, you can sprinkle it."

The four of them did not suspect anything else, and slapped the powder in their hands to the ground, feeling that there was a peculiar smell in their palms and rubbing against the pillar on the side.

It's good to dislike it, and the longer you dislike it, the better.

Liu Mingzhi grabbed a handful of trolls and held them in his hands: "You haven't seen this kind of thing before, have you?" ”

"No, isn't this just an ordinary iron pipe?"

"That's right, it's just an ordinary iron pipe, it's okay, you come with me, I'll show you something in the study, see if you recognize it."

The four of them followed Liu Dashao out of the warehouse and into the study with blank faces, Liu Mingzhi sat on a chair and took out a piece of rice paper from a book and put it on the table: "Can you see how this weapon is used?" ”

The four of them looked at the pattern on the rice paper one after another, and it was the appearance of an artillery, which was the red-clothed case of the Qing Dynasty in the later generations, which should be regarded as a relatively developed large-scale firearm in the black powder period.

This is all drawn by Liu Mingzhi according to the appearance in his impression, and he doesn't know the specific parameters, if he really wants to make this kind of big killer, he has to go through step by step tests, and at the moment Liu Mingzhi didn't come up with the idea of this kind of guy, as soon as the cannon sounded, the gold ten thousand taels was not just talking.

The Ming Dynasty firearms were so developed, it can be said that it was proud of the top of the world why it was still entered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the natural disasters of the Xiaoice River period were on the one hand, on the other hand, the man-made disasters of the Donglin Party led to no silver equipped with a large number of firearms, otherwise there would not be the tragedy of the Chongzhen Emperor hanging the coal mountain.

The court can't support the consumption of firearms, let alone the Liu family, there is no problem for the Liu family to make dozens of doors, the key is that this kind of firearms has not yet reached the time when it should appear, and their own forces are not enough to maintain this kind of thing.

"My lord, are you planning to build a handy weapon for Jiuniu?"

"Yes, Jiuniu's body is too large, and the weapons used by ordinary people are not suitable for him, so Lord Ben is preparing a weapon for him, what do you think?"

"The appearance is okay, but it doesn't feel very good, and there is no place to hold it, maybe Jiuniu will not be too used to it."

"Then forget it, this lord will find another way."

Liu Mingzhi took out another piece of rice paper and put it on the table: "Look, which of your sea ships is bigger and smaller, stronger and weaker than the sea ships on this drawing?" ”

Hoe He glanced at the pattern on the rice paper and shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible, how can there be such a big sea ship in the world, if it is all wood, what kind of keel can support such a large cabin." ”

Hetu also nodded in agreement: "Hoe He is right, it is impossible for such a big ship to sail into the sea, it is five or six times larger than our sea boat, this is simply a moving island, how can it be spliced so well if it is all wood." ”

"Yes, the huge waves on the sea are monstrous, and they can't be prevented, not to mention the huge waves of such a large sea ship, even if it is a small wind and small waves, it may be dispersed, and the final outcome is tantamount to the destruction of the ship."

"Oh? Is it? ”

Liu Mingzhi looked at the four hoes playfully and smiled disdainfully, the pattern in their mouths that would definitely destroy the ship and kill people was the treasure ship Tianyuan sent by the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di to send the cruiser chief officer Zheng He Zheng Gong to take the envoy, the largest sea ship in the world at the beginning.

Not to mention that in ancient times, this period of backward technological ability was a behemoth, even in later generations, the volume of the treasure ship was larger than that of ordinary destroyers, it is such a small island in the sea, and it has been intact for decades after decades of storms and waves in the Western Ocean, which shows that China's ability to create is rare.

Liu Mingzhi also sighed, he can draw the appearance of the treasure ship, there are many patterns of treasure ships in the history books of later generations, and he also knows the size parameters of the treasure ship, but the technology required to build a treasure ship is not something that can be copied if you know something, there are too many things in it that you don't know.

"I don't know if the craftsmen of this era can perfectly copy the treasure ship of Tianyuan, if it is successful, the Great Dragon fleet will go to the Western Ocean to trade with all countries, which can be said to be a precedent for ancient times, and a miracle of immortality." Liu Mingzhi muttered to himself with a teacup: "It seems that we have to find a way to go to the archives room of the Ministry of Industry to have a look, they will definitely have the drawings of the Great Dragon Ship." ”

"Huh?" Hoe He was surprised: "Why are there so many weapons made for Jiuniu on this ship, and there are a lot of stone piers underneath to support them?" ”

Liu Mingzhi looked stunned, and immediately put away the rice paper and rolled it up: "This lord is just drawing some small things, today is your last good opportunity to ask questions, as long as you draw the appearance of your sea ship and the specific manufacturing process, you can move another box of things to divide." ”

"Yes, my lord, we'll draw it right away."

"Liu Song, take them to the front hall, where are the prepared items."
