The guards on duty in the courtyard of Li Shouhan's signing room frowned and looked at the three fine houses outside the signing room with a wry smile.

These three houses were originally the reception rooms and dining rooms used by Li Shouhan to entertain guests. Not to mention how exquisite and gorgeous the decoration utensils are, the interior is a surprise design. The three houses are separated by a good carved hardwood partition door. If there are many guests, open the partition door and it will be a spacious hall.

In the hall, more than a dozen tables were spliced together by the guards to form a long table. Dozens of people on both sides of the table are usually teachers and polite guys, and at this time the quarrel is red-faced, and the originally neat floor in the room is full of confetti, and the ink and ink are thrown into black spots on the snow-white walls.

If someone else saw such a scene, I am afraid that they would have been furious. However, Li Shouhan himself, who was sitting in the corner with a carved glass teacup and sipping the frozen top oolong sent from Taiwan, laughed like a flower in his heart.

"Today, Lao Tzu can be regarded as having experienced what it means to be a hero in the world!"

When Galileo and the others were guided here by Uchiyama Yongming, Li Shouhan had already taken He Yingguan, who was in charge of developing the rear-loading gun, whose official name was He Wusheng, and more than a dozen artisan leaders made by Ha Jing to quarrel in the Jingshe for a while.

Seeing that Galileo was the leader and led a group of top-level mathematicians and physicists of this era, Li Shouhan couldn't help but smile. "The old gentleman is here? Hurry up, hurry up! He Lao Wu, introduce the situation of this firearm you designed to a few gentlemen, and let them give you a careful calculation, how to make the most ideal firearm in the centrifugal eye! ”

He Wusheng pretended to be modest and ordered his subordinates to remove the white cloth covering the drawing board, revealing the design drawings on it. At the same time, he lifted the red silk on the table covered with a long tray. The prototype gun was shown in front of these dozen bulls.

It is somewhat different from the popular gongbi drawing patterns in the mainland, and in the Southern Guangdong Army, the three-sided graphic drawing of Kaiping vertical section has long been implemented according to the scale design drawing, and it has been extended to industrial manufacturing and the construction of houses, bridges, wharves, docks, etc. Although this kind of drawing cannot be used in the eyes of adults, it is very convenient for craftsmen. It's also much more accurate, compared to the kind of artifact pictures that are far more artistic than scientific and practical, but they are much stronger. (Imagine what an industrial design drawing would look like for an art student.) ）

The gun designed by He Wusheng is quite in line with Li Shouhan's requirements, and the prototype gun has also been demonstrated by the soldiers, which is quite in line with the tactical needs of the deep ditch and high fortress and long trench bunker proposed by everyone at the battle summary meeting.

One of the biggest advantages of this firearm is that it can be reloaded in a lying position!

An upright chamber made of iron steel. The front of the chamber is a notch, which can be embedded in the rear of the chamber, and after the propellant explodes, the notch expands, and the sealing gas leaks out of the breech, which is actually a metal cartridge case fixed to the gun. The soldiers used the paper shell fixed ammunition that was commonly used in the Nanyue Army, and it was easy to reload in a lying position. Moreover, because it is a breech loading, the step between ramming a solid projectile and the propellant with a through strip is eliminated. It's also a lot faster, and it's almost the same as if you load three shots in a standing position. The lying position can be loaded with four to five rounds. However, the barrel may not be able to withstand such frequent firing, and the hot barrel does not allow such continuous and dense firing.

Several officers of the Guards Brigade who had rushed to hear the sound were also interested in snatching the prototype gun from the soldiers' hands, taking it in their hands and examining it carefully, and with the help of the craftsmen, they began to familiarize themselves with the new gun with great interest.

The completely different way of loading the firebolt from the previous one was an eye-opener for them.

"One, unwrench the hammer under the chamber!"

"Second, turn the crank on the right side of the gun and spin the chamber upright!"

"Three, check the bottom of the chamber fire door!"

"Fourth, pour the propellant inside the paper case into the chamber. Complete Loading Projectile! ”

"Five, stuff the warhead!"

"Sixth, turn the crank, return the chamber, embed the barrel, and complete the lock!"

At the behest of the craftsmen and soldiers, several officers of the Guards Brigade simply joined the soldiers in charge of the experiments. Loading in a lying position simulates the full set of actions of loading and firing projectiles under arrows fired in the trench fortifications facing thieves and other enemies.

Sharp-eyed students may have seen that this new gun designed based on the principle of the Franc machine is basically the same as the Kammerlader M1842 model that appeared in history, but the difference is that compared with the Kammerlader gun, the firing originally completed by the fire cap is still completed by flint. Moreover, also from the rifling of the Carman Ryder gun to a smoothbore.

Historically, the Carman Ryder gun is a relatively sad rifle, when it was installed, the Dresser pin gun has appeared, and the production is very low, a total of dozens of improved models, but the output is only more than 40,000 pieces, as for the range of equipment of the army is only the Norwegian Army Navy and the Swedish Navy equipment.

However, being born at the wrong time does not mean that the Kaman Ryder gun is not performing well. On the contrary, its unique design and loading method is slower than that of the Dresser needle gun, although it is slow, but basically solves the problem of breech air leakage, making the accuracy and range of the Carman Ryder gun much better than the Dresser needle gun. In 1861, Belgium held a high-precision military rifle shooting competition, and the Carmel Ryder M1860 proved to be one of the most accurate rifles of its time. The Carman Ryder used spherical rounds in the early days, and later tapered rounds, and after 1855 all models switched to Mini rounds.

Right now, the new gun He Wusheng took out was the monkey version of the Kaman Ryder gun that he had concocted according to the ideas in his mind and Li Shouhan's prompts to him.

The firing is changed to flint, and the rifling becomes smoothbore. The only thing that hasn't changed is that it's still Minnie bullets.

There is no technical difficulty in the Mini bullet, it is just a projectile anyway. It's just one step.

However, the availability of prototype guns does not necessarily mean that they will be able to equip the troops immediately. There are still many things that need to be improved. Before Galileo and the others arrived, Li Shouhan had already had a lot of discussions with the people present about the size and finalization of the new firecracker.

Although there is no concept of ergonomics in this era, there is also a weapon that is not comfortable for the most people to use, and the standard of hand, in order to give full play to the performance of this firecracker, Li Shouhan specially summoned seven or eight doctors to come and let them comment on the size of this firecrackle from Langzhong's point of view. Find the best size for the warriors to get the most out of the firecracker.

As for why Galileo and others were summoned overnight to make the old man uneasy all the way, it was also to give full play to the ingenuity and academic attainments of these mathematicians and physicists, and add some additional means of science and technology to this gun.

"How to calculate the most suitable wall thickness of the gunpowder tube, so that the gunpowder can send the projectile farther, hit more accurately, and prevent the gas leakage after the gunpowder is fired, these problems. It is the exam question that the company has given the ranking. You may wish to take a closer look here. ”

So, Pasque, Torricelli, Ferma, Maran? Mason, Gassandy, Dezarg, and others immediately fell into the state of a free state of academic discussion, and in the eyes of outsiders, they were basically a bunch of crazy people.

From the length of the gun tube to the range, these scientists quickly had a direction.

Next, the amount of gunpowder is calculated according to the maximum range to be reached. Based on the amount of gunpowder, calculate the moment when sharp combustion begins. The maximum pressure borne by the gun tube, and then according to this data, from the metallurgical point of view, calculate which alloy should be used, in order to maximize the thinning of the pipe wall, reduce the thickness of the gun tube, and then make the whole fire gun lighter.

The pen in his hand kept counting on the snow-white paper. Leaving behind scribbled calculation formulas and results, but constantly arguing fiercely with others, sometimes pointing at each other's noses and scolding each other, attacking each other's poor academic attainments, and so on.

The noise of various languages mixed with the constant waves of the room and the puffs of green smoke that constantly drifted out from the doors and windows. (That's the result of a few addicted smokers spitting out smoke from their mouths.) Let the unknown person mistakenly think that there is a fire here, and the people inside are scrambling to escape.

This kind of almost epoch-making scientific research project cannot be completed in a one-day and half-day meeting, and it is already a great achievement to be able to find ideas in a one-day discussion. After a while, Li Shouhan saw that everyone's noisy energy was no longer so sufficient, and his voice gradually lowered, and he knew immediately that everyone's physical strength and energy had reached a low ebb. Seeing that it was already the time when the sun was setting, Li Shouhan gently slapped his hands a few times: "Everyone, I will come here first today, my father will set up a light meal in the house, please work hard after the meal." If you can't finish the work, you might as well take it back and study it as a topic. ”

Li Shouhan said this, and Uchiyama Yongming and the others, who were waiting on the side, came out to dissuade these scientific maniacs who had been deeply involved in how to overcome the problems in front of them, put down the scientific exploration in their hands for the time being, and left the table to have dinner in the flower hall outside.

"Tell the soldier not to touch the paper I put on the table! Don't mess up my records and calculations! ”

"That's it! And my design sketches! ”

A few of the guys were dragged from their seats half-invited, half-swaying, still shouting at them not to touch the calculations they had left on the table.

"Yongming, bring your precious son with you! Didn't he keep saying that elementary school math textbooks were too simple and boring? These gentlemen are the highest academic attainments in mathematics in my Nanyue Army and even in the whole world, and they are all top figures in the academic world, Taishan Beidou! Not now, but when? ”

Li Shouhan smiled and teased Uchiyama Yongming, and motioned to his own soldiers to Uchiyama Yongming's residence to bring his second son Xiao Shinsuke to have dinner with him.

What an honor and praise it is to have dinner with your lord? What's more, there are almost the highest-ranking academic leaders in the Nanyue Army. His son, who had just entered elementary school, was able to enter the eyes of the lord like this, which suddenly made Uchiyama Yongming almost faint with happiness.

I once sold a pass before, so that everyone guessed the identity of Uchiyama Yongming, I don't know how many people guessed correctly? That's right, although he is not famous, but his second son, Xiao Xinsuke, who later changed his surname to others. But it is a famous figure in the history of mathematics, Guan Xiaohe. The founder of the sum arithmetic system improved the Tian Yuan algorithm in Zhu Shijie's "Enlightenment of Arithmetic", created the unique pen arithmetic algebra of the sum arithmetic, established the concept of determinant and its preliminary theory, and perfected the approximate solution of the numerical equations introduced in China. He discovered the conditions for the existence of positive and negative roots of equations, studied the Pythagorean theorem, the elliptic area formula, the Archimedean spiral, and pi, and pioneered the study of "circular theory" (an infinite series expression of the relationship between diameters, arcs, and sagittal values), the theory of magic squares, and the theory of continuous fractions. At the same time, he has also written several works on the astronomical calendar, including the four volumes of "The Establishment of the Chronological History", "The Establishment of the Chronological Experience", "The Invention of the Chronological Calendar", "The Four Algorithms", and "The Xingyao Algorithm".

(There has been controversy in historians about the date of Seki's birth, but there are two theories about the date of his birth, the first being that he was born in Koishikawa, Edo, in 1642.) Another theory is that his father was born in 1637 in Fujioka, Ueno. But in order to lay out the plot, this factor will be ignored for the time being, let Guan Xiaohe go to primary school in Hue! ）

In fact, Li Shouhan summoned these big bulls today, in addition to giving them a new scientific research task, there is also a task to build a national important weapon to be handed over to them.

Not long ago, he approved the proposal of Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Sen's uncle and nephew on the rapid transfer of primary school teachers in Java and other places to popularize compulsory education in large quantities, and on the topic of how to further strengthen education and the training of various vocational personnel on the basic plate of Nanzhong. He put it on the agenda. He and Li Peilin have discussed this matter several times.

In addition to continuing to universalize compulsory education for six years of primary school in the new district. Lee also plans to start promoting secondary education in Ha Tinh, Hue, Spyrang, Kowloon River, Chao Phraya River and other places.

The promotion of primary education in the new district can quickly assimilate school-age children in a few years, so that they can achieve cultural identity, and after having a primary school education, they can become qualified labor everywhere, even if they are working in the family farm. It will also have a much stronger grasp of the promotion of new agricultural tools and agricultural varieties than the general illiterate.

In the war report sent by Java, Zheng Sen wrote proudly that although the pacification of the Java rebellion did not open up the territory, the population under his direct control was invisibly increased by millions. With these millions of people. The labor shortage will be eased temporarily.

"In the sixth year of elementary school, even if Lao Tzu raised these children with rice stew, it was better than mobilizing a large army to conquer them! Military spending is much more than education! Moreover, this is to train laborers for Lao Tzu! One in and one out, unless Lao Tzu's head is kicked by a donkey, he will choose to use a knife. ”

However, secondary education is not as universal as primary education.

According to Li Shouhan's initial idea, it is necessary to combine vocational education with academic education. In addition to the subjects already available in primary school, the curriculum should also introduce physics, algebra, geometry, and so on, otherwise, he would not have ordered people to get all kinds of mathematical and physical works from Europe at any cost.

However, ask yourself, most of the junior high school math that Li Shouhan learned back then has been returned to the teacher. How to compile teaching materials and how to train teachers depends on the people in front of them.

Since he became his master, whether it is a mere place in Ha Tinh, or a general's mansion in Hue, or Ning Yuanbo certified by the Ming Dynasty, Li Shouhan has consistently implemented a principle, that is, talent training must be at the forefront of technology and equipment! It is definitely not a prophetic Zhuge Liang, but a farmer who sows seeds.

If you sow ideas and knowledge in other people's minds, these seeds will naturally take root and sprout, and then there will be no shortage of new technologies, new machines, and new production processes. The view that as long as there is advanced and technological equipment, it can dominate the world, but it has been verified in history, and this road is not working!

Whether it was the Soviet Union, which was built on the ruins of the October Revolution, or Germany, which relied on its 100,000 army to build a force that swept across Europe and fought against almost the world's industrial powers, they all cultivated talents in the first place under extremely difficult circumstances, and let talents wait for equipment, rather than let equipment wait for people.

Think of the German Army officers who sat in cardboard boxes to simulate the impact of tank detachments, the Bolsheviks who built steel factories in the swamps along the Dnieper, the Western-style bureaucrats who thought that with the money to buy foreigners' machine warships and sophisticated guns, they could achieve the prosperity of the same light, and those Middle Eastern tyrants who sat on the oil fields and suddenly became rich by relying on the generosity of nature, and even more so the artillery officials who forced the domestic steel mills to collapse in the flames of the War of Resistance in order to get kickbacks. Li Shouhan gritted his teeth in his mouth, "Lao Tzu's conditions are much stronger than them!" In any case, you can't be a cannon party and a Westernist! ”

Sure enough, the problem of being a good teacher is not only my Chinese people, but also this group of red-haired Yi people from Taixi countries. When His Royal Highness the Duke of Li Shouhan announced that he would create a secondary education system between the primary and university stages, and asked them to be responsible for compiling teaching materials and training secondary school teachers, even the young Pascal's cheeks were crimson with excitement and he kept rubbing his hands.

"Your Royal Highness, when will it start?!"

Standing outside the gate of the palace, watching the drunken Galileo and others' carriages and horses leave, Li Shouhan, whose face was flushed with the smell of alcohol, picked up his little son next to him a little carried away, "Come!" Huachen. How about this important piece of national equipment that Daddy built for you and your brothers and sisters? ”

Li Huachen, who was a little drunk by the smell of alcohol on Daddy's body, just smiled a lot, but his mother Ao Lei Yilan couldn't stand it anymore.

"A milk doll, what kind of important weapon does the country know?! You let them get the new guns done first! ”

Alas! It seems that another person who thinks that the important weapon of the country is an epoch-making weapon!

Li Shouhan sighed in his heart. (To be continued......)
