Hou Jian is worthy of being the first tailor in the world, and samples of new men's and women's clothing have been made, and he added his own elements to make the clothes in his previous life more in line with the aesthetics and trends of the Great Song Dynasty.

Song Jiang sighed: Talent! If you don't accept it, you can't do it! Grandpa Deng said that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and no matter how advanced science and technology are, they are also created and used by people. This also strengthened Songjiang's idea of gathering talents, introducing talents from Liangshanbo, cultivating talents, making good use of talents, and promoting the rapid development of science and technology and economy.

Since Wei Zuilan's textile department was merged into the garment factory, Song Jiang had some ideas about this kind of weaving in the form of a small workshop, and the efficiency was too low. If you open a large textile workshop outside, in addition to the cost and the wages of the workers, if you want to make money, you have to raise the price of the product to a higher price.

It's time for a technological revolution. Although it is difficult to build a steam engine, it will save a lot of time and manpower by using the hydraulic resources of Liangshanbo and using water power as the driving force for textile and mechanical processing.

Song Jiang struggled to find out what he had learned in his previous life. Multi-spindle hand-spinning machine, he remembers Jenny spinning machine and hydraulic spinning wheel, this kind of mechanical efficiency is high, the quality of the spinning yarn is also better, and the quantity is more, which undoubtedly reduces the cost and the market competitiveness is bound to be strong. Machine tools should also use water power to improve efficiency, and crossbows and arrows should be made with less effort.

Unconsciously, Song Jiang had already walked to the Academy of Sciences. The newly built Academy of Sciences in Liangshanbo is much larger than Qingfeng Mountain, and the conditions are even more superior.

Although Ling Zhen was stuck in the research of muskets, he was not dead-headed, and he changed hands to make great improvements in artillery and grenades. Now Ling Zhen has transformed the grenade into a powerful and light weight, and the design is more reasonable, which is not much different from the grenade in his previous life. All kinds of light and heavy artillery are on his drawings, especially the sub-mother cannon he designed is refreshing.

Song Jiang couldn't help but think of the platoon artillery in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam back then, so he expressed his thoughts. Ling Zhen thought about it and said, "This kind of cannon is easy to develop, but it must consume a lot. I remodeled a kind of cannonball according to the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", which originally contained arsenic*frost, croton and gunpowder, and I added chili powder, pepper powder, and mustard powder. If it explodes on the enemy's position, the men and horses will surely cough, sneeze, cry, and even die, and the position will be in chaos. ”

When Song Jiang heard this, he said secretly: "Obediently, chemical weapons have appeared, this is a weapon of mass destruction, and it was resolutely opposed and forbidden in the previous life. He thought about it, "You make it into two categories, one is the same as you said, and it is used when we fight the foreigners. The other type only contained chili powder, pepper, mustard powder, and gunpowder, which was used in the event of a conflict between us and the Great Song army. After all, we are all descendants of China, and this weapon of mass destruction should not be used on our own people. ”

Ling Zhen praised Song Jiang's benevolence and righteousness, and Song Jiang also praised Ling Zhen a few words and said: "Now that you have a navy, you can design some artillery suitable for installation on the ship." At the same time, a number of mines were developed, that is, mines that exploded in the water and destroyed enemy ships. ”

After hearing this, Ling Zhen was in a meditative state again, treating Song Jiang as air, and Song Jiang turned to the place where Tang Long worked when he saw this.

Tang Long has always fought with Ling Zhen for weapons, but Ling Zhen has developed hot weapons, and he has fought for cold weapons.

He constantly improved his bow and crossbow. Today's repeaters and long-range hard crossbows are mechanical equipment forged from good steel, and he equipped these bows and crossbows with arrow magazines, and only need to change the arrow box after shooting the arrows, instead of changing the arrows one by one as before.

Tang Long proudly introduced his new invention to Song Jiang - the heavy crossbow, which is a highly penetrating bow and crossbow, with a thick shaft and a three-edged fusiform arrow. Due to its long range and high lethality, it can almost penetrate obstacles and then shoot into the human body behind, so the power required is very large, and the arrow must be pedaled to be loaded.

Song Jiang saw that everyone was very enthusiastic about the improvement of weapons, but the armor made by Tang Long was all thin armor, so he asked the reason.

Tang Long said: "Our weapons are far away from destroying the enemy, and the thick armor has become a burden for us to advance!" ”

Song Jiang Zhengse said: "Not really, if the armor has an extra layer of thickness when the short knives meet, there will be more insurance for life, and you can't take it lightly in the armor!" ”

After hearing this, Tang Long hurriedly wrote it down.

As soon as Song Jiang arrived at Xuanming's research room, he saw Pang Guang selling his invention there, unaware of Song Jiang's arrival. Song Jiang also walked over like a bustle, only to see that he was holding a small wooden stick, which seemed to be dipped in some substance, and with a stroke on a special rough surface, the wooden stick burned.

Song Jiang was shocked and said, "Isn't this a match?" ”

As soon as everyone saw Song Jiang coming, they put down their work and greeted him. Pang Guang said: "This is my improved candle, Commander Song calls it a match, this name is excellent!" ”

Song Jiang originally wanted to tell him the firing principle of the safety match in his previous life, and thought that according to the current science and technology, the possibility of making potassium chlorate was very small, so he gave up, but he still explained the structure of the match carton.

Although Ming Xuan was hindered in firing glass, and he has not yet fired high-quality glass, his people are not idle, and small inventions such as matches are still emerging. Ming Xuan is still dressed as a monk, but his body is much stronger than before. After hearing Song Jiang say that using water power to improve work efficiency, he said: "There are successful examples of the use of water power in the past, water drainage, and water mills, and we can promote it in Liangshanbo, but fortunately, Liangshanbo has natural water resources." For example, we can build water-driven smelting blowers, water-driven woodworking machine tools, metalworking machine tools, etc., which will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. As for the multi-spindle spinning machine mentioned by the commander, we still need to study it, and I asked Zhu Yiqun to go to the textile department to study it. ”

After listening to this, Song Jiang encouraged them to do more research, as long as it was an invention or creation, no matter how big or small, it would be within the scope of the reward.

Song Jiang wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered a question, so he asked Ming Xuandao: "Master, have you ever heard of a flying tool that uses heated air to fly high in the air?" ”

Ming Xuan thought for a while and said: "Kong Ming Lantern is such a flying tool, according to the book "Huainan Wanbi Shu", with the help of a burning ignition, the eggshell can fly into the sky. The method is to use an egg, remove the yolk and egg white, and then ignite the ignition mugwort put into its hole, and the eggshell can fly away on its own. ”

After speaking, Ming Xuan asked puzzledly: "But these are all folk frolicking things, why does the commander ask such a question?" ”

Song Jiang said with a smile: "The master has misunderstood, how can I be greedy for hedonistic games!" Since objects can fly very high, can we make a very large flying machine, and call it a hot air balloon for the time being. Isn't it a good carrier to carry people in a hot air balloon to detect the enemy's situation or strike the enemy in the air!"

Everyone was shocked, Song Jiang's idea was really fanciful, but it was not impossible to think about it.

Ming Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "If you carry people, you have to do it very big, and if you accidentally catch fire, won't it be over?" ”

Song Jiang secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, I had played with hot air balloons in my previous life. He told him some of the structures and principles he had learned, such as sealing a hot air balloon, which is composed of three parts: a balloon, a hanging basket and a heating device, and that the fuel could be used to distilled alcohol from the distillery, and so on, and drew a sketch for him to understand and digest. Anyway, I can only say anything, and leave the rest to them to study, and many scientific achievements are unintentionally discovered in research.
