Lin Qingliang smiled slightly: "But it is no coincidence that the book is not written, the paper he transported to Xingwangfu, due to the heavy rain, coupled with the lack of protection, more than a dozen truckloads of paper products were all soaked, so that all the hopes he relied on to make a comeback came to naught, so he was almost forced into a desperate situation." He now has no capital in his hands and cannot afford to raise production. The most important thing is that he has lost hope for the future, and now he is living in poverty. ”

"When I was in the capital, I saw that he was kind-natured and promised to fund him to resume production, but I didn't have time to contact him because I was in a hurry when I came back. I think he is probably looking forward to it now, and if he is invited to Yunnan, I think he has no reason to refuse. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, this is really timely rain, how can such a talent be idle?

Li Yi hurriedly instructed Lin Qingliang to write to Zhou Quan as soon as possible, promising him a huge profit, and asking him to rush to Yunnan as soon as possible, so as to get the paper mill up and running in time.

And the most important job at the moment is to make a clairplane. Li Yi has already calculated, and in the past few days, he has been sitting in the Liulifang in Jiuxiang, setting the size for the clairvoyant mirror, and the specifications of all lenses are of uniform standards, guiding the craftsmen here to polish the first batch of qualified lenses as soon as possible.

And the brass lens barrel and focus adjustment mechanism were tailor-made by the Arts Workshop, and we strive to assemble the first epoch-making clairvoyant in the shortest possible time.

Of course, with Li Yi's limited knowledge of telescopes, he can only make a monocular at present, and Li Yi believes that this is enough to put it into practice. Binoculars are not only complex in structure, but also not much more effective than monoculars.

The most important thing is that this thing can't be made too much, so as not to be obtained by the enemy, and then you will fall into a situation of passive beating. Therefore, if the manufacturing quantity is limited, the production cost will increase exponentially, and it doesn't matter if you spend a lot of money, Yunnan is not short of money at all, but Li Yi feels that there is no need for that at all.

But no matter how thoughtful the idea is, there are unexpected accidents. The clairvoyant lens made by Li Yi is a double-convex lens with a double-concave lens, although a set of prisms are added behind the objective lens, but the imaging effect is not ideal. When the concave lens and the convex lens are each piece, the effect is much better.

But in this way, the magnification is only about three times, which does not achieve the required practical value. Therefore, Li Yi stayed in Liulifang for more than ten consecutive days, while focusing on improving the quality of the lens, he also made many attempts to process the prism, and after dozens of assembly tests, the clairvoyant with a magnification of at least seven or eight times finally came out.

Li Yi held this delicate brass monocular clairvoyant, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. With this guy, the scouts will be able to greatly reduce their own risk in the future, achieve the purpose of observing the enemy's movements from a distance, and be able to transmit valuable information back in time.

However, after officers at all levels have a clairvoyant scope, they know themselves and their opponents, they know the enemy's arrangements and formations well, and they can anticipate the enemy's aircraft first, and their ability to control the situation on the battlefield will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced.

By the time Li Yi returned to Ningzhou with twenty beautifully made copper clairlooms, he had been in Jiuxiang for a whole month. Although he has worked hard for a month and has not even slept a night, the joy of success makes Li Yi not feel a trace of fatigue, but a feeling of excitement, just like the exciting moment when he successfully conquered the mountains and reached the top.

On the second day after returning to Ningzhou, Li Yi immediately convened a meeting in the conference hall attended by Lin Yi, Dongfang Jing, Jian Zheng, He Shoujie, Guo Zhun, Zhang Bo, Yin Quan, Cheng Xun, Wei Jing, Qiu Feng, Yue Wei, Ling Feng, Li Hui, Zhao Fan, Gao Chang, and other major military officers.

At the beginning of the meeting, the generals of the various customs defenses first reported to Li Yi on the deployment and training of the city defenses and passes, and then Jian Zheng introduced the military arrangements and deployments after the relocation of the Ningzhou battalion.

At the end of the meeting, Li Yi made a concluding speech, commenting on the military arrangements and training achievements of various customs and defenses, pointing out the deficiencies in military command and mutual defense, and putting forward the principled requirements for the reform of military affairs in the future.

In the end, Li Yi changed his words, smiled and instructed Nanfang, who was standing behind him: "You go and take out the treasure we just made, so that all the generals can open their eyes." ”

Nanfang hurriedly agreed, turned around and went out.

Everyone didn't know what medicine Li Yi was selling in the gourd, they all looked at him confusedly, and saw that Li Yi was just smiling and sipping the tea without saying a word, and they didn't dare to ask, so they had to sit and wait.

After a while, the southern leader put a delicate huge wooden suitcase on top of several cases, Li Yi solemnly opened the suitcase, took one of the clairvoyant mirrors in his hand, and said to the people who still didn't know why: "Generals, I have an important gift for you today, I hope you can use this to broaden your horizons, better guard the border of my Han Dynasty, and achieve outstanding achievements." General Jane, come and take a look, is this artifact still in your eyes? ”

When Jian Zheng heard this, he stepped forward suspiciously, took the clairvoyant mirror from Li Yi's hand, looked left and right and didn't see anything famous, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Dashuai, what is this artifact?" How come I don't see anything famous? ”

Li Yi smiled slightly and said, "General Jian, you really leave me speechless!" Hehe! You try to hold the tiny end of it in front of your eyes and look out the door to see what it does. ”

Jian Zheng suddenly woke up at this time, he didn't know what this thing was, and hurriedly concocted the clairvoyant mirror in front of him, turned to the ear room outside the conference hall, and suddenly shouted, and couldn't help shouting: "My good man, this clairvoyant mirror has finally been made by Dashuai, haha!" Is it Lu Huai who is standing next to the ear room! I could see all his eyelashes, it was amazing. ”

Then he took away the clairvoyant mirror and turned to Li Yi and said in surprise: "Dashuai, I thought that your clairvoyant mirror is two tubes!" Why is this just a tube? ”

Seeing Jian Zheng's puzzled expression, Li Yi had no choice but to say indifferently: "The conditions in our Yunnan are not available now, there are many necessary materials that cannot be obtained, and the production of binocular clairvoyant mirrors is complicated, and it will not be able to be made for a while." However, as a joke, two monoculars are put together, isn't it a binocular clairvoyant? Hehe! ”
