Cang Yuanshan stomped his foot, stopped Ning Yuanhou, who was about to speak, and hurriedly looked at Zhou Heng and said:

"Let's not foreshadow, just say who do you say these people are?"

Zhou Heng pointed to Beishan and said:

"I opened a medical school in Beishan, and many young people from poor families in the neighborhood came to study here, after all, it was free, and they could also learn to read and write, and the earliest ones probably studied for half a year.

Among these people, there are some medical skills that have not made much progress, but they are very interested in arithmetic, I originally wanted to open a project related to flying balls in the research institute, but now I think about it, it is better to pull these people over first, after all, they have strong arithmetic ability, and they have a certain understanding of position, height, and speed, so it is easier to get started. ”

Ning Yuanhou and Cang Yuanshan paused, and then nodded towards Zhou Heng, they listened to Zhou Heng's introduction just now, and now they know the role of this controller, this is the person who controls the life and death of the flying ball, it is indeed extremely important to be calm and mindful, even if there are military defects, it doesn't matter.

"I think it's okay, but although these don't need to shoot arrows to kill the enemy, they also need to be physically better, and it's not easy for this person to hang in a basket for a day."

Zhou Heng nodded, he had naturally thought of this a long time ago.

"This is natural, then bother Lao Ning Yuanhou and the old general to search for archers, it is best to have amazing arm strength, we can use heavy arrows, this is the more the merrier, if a flying ball is equipped with three shooters, the lethality will naturally be much higher."

Ning Yuanhou recognized Zhou Heng's words very much, and glanced at the flying ball again.

"If this thing can bring more people, wouldn't it be a divine soldier from heaven?"

Zhou Heng glanced at Ning Yuanhou, this idea is not impossible, but the current technology is not mature.

"The current technology is still in the exploration stage, we are pursuing flexibility and speed, if there are more people, flexibility and speed will be affected.

In addition, there are still some necessities for carrying four people, this flying ball is already so big, and our current fuel, two cans can last at most for a day and a night.

Carrying more people, the rattan basket will be larger, the flying ball will be increased accordingly, and the fuel tank will also be increased, so that the target is easy to be found when it is large, so it is still required to be fine.

As for the tactics, they should also be formulated according to this premise, flexibility and ingenuity are expensive in speed, but one team of flying balls can be dispatched at a time, so that the effect is much better than one. ”

Ning Yuanhou seemed to be opening a new continent, standing in place and constantly flashing his eyes, Cangyuanshan didn't bother him, I don't know how long he paused, Ning Yuanhou reached out and touched the rattan basket.

"Zhou boy, you are really a strange material, although you don't know how to lead troops to fight, but this one who plays Yin is born without learning, and you have it in your bones!"

Zhou Heng's face darkened instantly, behind his hands, and sighed.

"How can you say that? I can't help it, our Liang war horses are not as good as the Tatars, the physical strength is not as good as the Warats, the water war is not as good as the Japanese country, the land is fertile and the climate is warm, and I am always remembered, since we can't fight hard, we naturally have to find a suitable way, not only to control the enemy, but also to reduce casualties, this is the most effective, isn't it? ”

Ning Yuanhou patted Zhou Heng's arm, how could he not know this.

However, these words, that is, they can say unscrupulously, if those imperial histories know that the dispute of tongues is light, impeachment and punishment are not impossible.

"You're right, but it's better for us to do this, it's not too short to come out today, I don't think we need to send us here, it's better for him to be here with you, at least that's the person next to the emperor, and others can't say anything."

Cang Yuanshan also nodded, "Yes, we will go back to Beijing now, I will go to gather people, and we will go to Old Man Lu's house later to discuss these matters." ”

......

The next day, in the imperial study.

The old emperor rubbed his forehead, took the tea cup in Fang Jizhong's hand, lost his usual elegance, and drank several sips in a row, Fang Jizhong came over and rubbed the temples of the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send the imperial doctor to come and take a look at you?"

The old emperor waved his hand, "No, send these old generals away, I won't have a headache, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this kid Zhou Heng poured into them, this morning the dynasty has all gone to the court, but these imperial histories are rarely choked, and the increase in military spending can be regarded as done." ”

Fang Jizhong laughed, "This is not instructed by His Majesty, otherwise the Zhou Yuan Judgment will naturally not dare to reveal half a word." ”

The old emperor nodded, a smile on his face.

"Well, don't say that he did a really good job in this matter, by the way, Fang Hua will also be rewarded, he will follow Zhou Heng and them in the future, I can also know some details, tell Fang Hua, listen and watch more, this matter is very important."

Fang Jizhong nodded hurriedly, he knew what the old emperor meant.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, if there is any disturbance, or something beyond control, Fang Hua will send back the news as soon as possible, and the people of the factory guard will let out a team to follow.

In addition, I heard that the group of people selected by Wei Guogong for Yang Weijun has been trained, and they will go to Fujian in three days. ”

The old emperor opened his eyes and glanced to his side.

"Well, Wei Guogong's grandson should also exercise, and he will naturally do his best to leave this matter to him, right, how about the flying ball experiment?"

Fang Jizhong stopped what he was doing and hurriedly said:

"Fang Hua sent back a letter saying that the flying ball flew directly from Beishan to the open space in the northeast corner of the capital in just two moments, and the speed was amazing."

The old emperor's calm face instantly showed a look of surprise.

"In other words, this flying ball can really fly into the sky?"

Fang Jizhong nodded, "Not only is it flying into the sky, but the speed is amazing, I heard that even so, the Zhou Yuan judged that they were not very satisfied, it seemed that there was any design flaw somewhere, and they still had to be improved."

Oh, I remember, when I landed, the descent speed was too fast, and the exhaust hole was not easy to open, so it was not very convenient to control, and I was fiddling with these last night. ”

The old emperor stood up and paced back and forth a few steps.

At first, he just thought that this week Hengduo was boasting, and besides, this flying ball went to the sky, which was simply too shocking.

But this kind of thing, if you don't try, I don't know if it will work, he just hopes that Zhou Heng and they can try more, but he didn't expect that it was only more than half a month, and this test flight was successful.

Even so, they did not rush into the sky, but identified the problem and prepared for further improvement.

"It seems that I really underestimate them, this Zhou Heng really surprises me, if he is not a doctor, he should really let him go to the military department, Lu Pingbei is right, this son has great promise!"

Fang Jizhong hurriedly followed and picked up the folds that the old emperor had picked up and brought down, still with a signature smile on his face.

"The old slave has a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

The old emperor glanced at him, this Fang Jizhong grew up with him, and the ministers in the court and these concubines in the harem were not close to Fang Jizhong.

"Just say what you think, I won't cure your crimes!"

Fang Jizhong bowed down and said:

"To put it mildly, Zhou Yuanju is an unfettered character, let's just say that this is too a hospital, he has been to the hospital a total of several times since he served as a hospital judge, one is because Liu Yuanju is managing him, and the other is because he is unwilling to involve energy and want to save his mind.

To put it bluntly, he likes to do what he likes, such an unfettered character, if he is allowed to go to the military department, not to mention what the people in the court and the central government will think, he himself will not be willing. ”

The old emperor thought about it seriously when he heard this, not to mention that Zhou Heng was really like this this week, except for going to the imperial pharmacy to get a bunch of good medicines, it seemed that he had never been to the imperial hospital, even if he treated the queen mother and the concubine, he was all acting on orders.

As for doing business, as well as diagnosing and treating patients, he seems to have an addiction, and he really likes to do it, so whether it is Beishan, or Fujian's rubber trees, or even flying balls, these are all out of interest.

Even the cultivation of corn and golden potatoes, no matter how great the merit is, it was easily lost to Liu Renli and Zhang Fuling.

At that time, he didn't understand it after thinking about it for a long time, but when Fang Jizhong said at this time, he understood that all this was just because Zhou Heng was afraid of trouble.

Such a person, if he is really restrained to the military department, or how he is appointed, it will be a constraint for him, but it will affect his enthusiasm for everything.

The old emperor sighed and looked at Fang Jizhong.

"It seems that I am not as profound as you think, Zhou Heng is indeed an unfettered person, but since he is inseparable from the two princes, then let's take a detour."

Fang Jizhong sneered and laughed, but felt that he was saluting and hurriedly bowed.

"Your Majesty atoned for your sins, the old slave couldn't hold back, but if Zhou Heng knew His Majesty's thoughts at the moment, would he ......?"

......
