Chapter 54: Returning to the Heart
Guo Zhiyuan on the side saw that Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen were chatting speculatively, and he was secretly happy, with Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen, the two great wizards as help, he also had the capital to compete for glory in this era, and then he had to fully tap the talents of these two geniuses, let them show their strengths, and help themselves lay a world in this era!
However, he also knew that if he couldn't continue to give full play to his crossing advantages, let Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen completely return to their hearts, and regard themselves as masters worthy of their assistance, they might also abandon him.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly interjected: "Mr. Zhao, I have some ideas about this issue, you see that the current musket needs to be lit with flint and then fired, not only is the speed slow, if it rains, it will not be able to be used if it is damp, if you can seal the standard amount of * and make it into a bullet, and use the principle of flint friction to fire it, is it more convenient?" And we can make a magazine or a runner, through the mechanical principle that we can make every bullet fired, the next bullet in the magazine can be automatically topped, or through the rotation of the wheel, the next bullet will automatically rotate to the firing position, so that we can do continuous firing? ……”
When he said this, not only Zhao Shizhen, but Xu Guangqi's eyes also lit up, this Guo Gongzi is really a god, sometimes there are amazing words, many problems that have plagued them for a long time, his casual words made them feel stunned, it seems that they chose to assist him is really right!
Zhao Shizhen stood up even more excitedly, almost hitting the roof of the carriage without realizing it, and grabbed Guo Zhiyuan's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Guo Gongzi, how did you think of it?!" What a brilliant idea! The old man believes that as long as the old man is given time, the old man will definitely be able to make the kind of musket that you said does not need to light the arquebus, but can fire continuously! ……”
Xu Guangqi's eyes were also shining, Guo Zhiyuan was young, but he often spoke amazingly, and he could always come up with some earth-shattering genius ideas, the longer he got along with him, the more he felt that this young man was not simple, and it also made him feel more and more that his decision to give up the examination to assist Guo Zhiyuan was correct.
Thinking of this, Xu Guangqi glanced at Zhao Shizhen, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to call Guo Gongzi now, right?" Saying that, his face was solemn, and Guo Zhiyuan stood up solemnly and bowed and said: "Lord, the son has to meet the Lord first, it is really a lifelong luck, I am willing to follow the Lord and assist the Lord to achieve great causes, if you violate this oath, heaven and earth will not allow it!" ……”
Zhao Shizhen was stunned for a moment, he had studied firearms all his life, but he was not without ambition, otherwise he would not have taken refuge in the prince before, and acted as a pawn for him to make this "demon book case", but his thinking was far less enlightened than Xu Guangqi, although he was forced to take refuge in Guo Zhiyuan in reluctance, but he had not yet risen to the height of wanting him to be the assistant of the lord.
At this time, Xu Guangqi set an example, and he also knew that he should make a decision, otherwise this relationship would not last long after all, he was completely disappointed in Zhu Changluo, comparing Guo Zhiyuan with Zhu Changluo, and also felt that Guo Zhiyuan was more worthy of his assistance than Zhu Changluo, so he only hesitated slightly, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The lord has saved Chang Ji (note: Zhao Shizhen's word Chang Ji) several times, if the lord does not give up, Chang Ji is also willing to follow the lord and assist the lord to achieve great causes, if this oath is violated, heaven and earth will not allow it!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan knew that Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen were completely homecoming, so he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Don't be like this two gentlemen, both gentlemen are geniuses in the world, Zhiyuan can get the help of the two gentlemen, it is a blessing for three lives, and Zhiyuan should treat him as a teacher for the rest of his life, if he violates this oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" It's just that I don't dare to be called a ......."
Xu Guangqi nodded and said: "Now the great cause of the lord has not been completed, when Taoguang is obscure, thick and thin, and slowly and slowly, it is indeed not suitable to publicize, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, we still call the lord a son in front of people, but I believe that with the lord's male talent, it is definitely not a thing in the pool, and today I will set the name, we should do our best to assist, and the great cause will be successful!" ……”
After setting the name, the relationship between the three of them was one step closer, Zhao Shizhen pulled Guo Zhiyuan to ask him about the production problem of this continuous musket, Guo Zhiyuan didn't know anything about the principle of firearms, and he was completely relying on the advantage of crossing, just now, and then he was forced by Zhao Shizhen to ask about it, and he was about to be exposed, and waved his hand again and again: "The kid is purely cranky, how dare he get an axe in front ......of Mr."
Xu Guangqi glanced at Guo Zhiyuan meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, what Gongzi said just now makes a lot of sense, and I am also quite inspired, although I don't know how to manufacture firearms, but this mechanical principle is still a little bit clear, the magazine and the runner mentioned by the young man, if you give me some time, maybe I can help Mr. Zhao make these two things!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, if he could make a repeating musket, it would be a big killer! With the leading era of the big killer, not to say that in this era sideways, at least have the power of self-preservation, of course, Guo Zhiyuan also knows that it is not so easy to create a repeating gun, the constraints of various objective factors such as materials are doomed to be unable to create too many scientific and technological products that are ahead of this era, and the industrial level of this era is too backward, even if a repeating musket is created, it is difficult to mass produce and equip the army, which is why the Ming Dynasty army obviously has leading firearms technology, In the end, he was defeated by the Manchu iron horsemen, who mainly used cold weapons.
In addition, Guo Zhiyuan is a liberal arts student, and he doesn't know anything about professional knowledge such as the principle of firearms, but it is the level of ordinary modern people, he can only draw the general appearance of the * and barge guns he has seen with his own impression to Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen, but the two of them are like treasures, * The paper in Guo Zhiyuan's hand is next to the head and study!
Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen were like-minded, holding Guo Zhiyuan's sketch and discussing it enthusiastically, when they encountered disagreements, they would fight for red faces, Guo Zhiyuan looked secretly funny, at first he could still use the advantage of crossing to interject a few words, but later he couldn't interject at all, and could only watch the two argue non-stop.
But in this way, it is not lonely along the way, originally Guo Zhiyuan and their itinerary was to pass through Nanjing City, where to rest and recuperate, but considering that the prince wanted to kill Zhao Shizhen, the previous team of killers would send people to chase and kill after the defeat, so they temporarily changed the route, and even Nanjing City did not enter, almost non-stop hurrying, did not enter the city, only looking for some small inns on the side of the road to sharpen, everyone went all the way to the south, and finally at dusk more than ten days later, saw a city in the distance, and the city gate said "Fuzhou" Two big characters of vermilion!
