Chapter 987

"What's that distance?" Zhao Xu smashed his mouth and asked a question that he was more concerned about. But seeing that Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and drew a number.

"Eighty zhang?"

"Yes, eighty zhang away, and I only later found out that one of the values I calculated was wrong, and after adjustment, the second test firing was centered on the marked impact point."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, eighty zhang away, that is outside the attack range of most long-range weapons in this world, at such a distance, the distance can still be targeted......

Zhao Xu suddenly unfolded a picture in his mind, a Liao general stood on the top of the city and pointed, and the Song soldiers here took a pen and paper to write and draw there for a long time, and then reported a data.

Then the soldiers of the Song army adjusted the angle and height according to this series of data, and then, a stone projectile weighing one hundred and fifty-six catties flew over a distance of eighty zhang and directly smashed the Liao army commander directly into the city wall, smashing into a pile of flesh and blood.

Damn, this is too awesome, right? Zhao Xu, who had come back to his senses for a long time, couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but unfortunately, he had no basis in arithmetic geometry, and he couldn't understand the formulas and figures that made him dizzy.

"These things must be hard to learn, right?" Zhao Xu looked at these things, tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, and asked Zhao Ji.

"In fact, these things, the most important thing is that it is the most difficult to get started at the beginning, once you can enter the door, you will find that in fact, although there are countless changes inside, it is always the same."

"However, now, the younger brother can only dabble in this superficial knowledge, and there is still a lot of knowledge, with the knowledge reserve of the younger brother now, it is simply daunting......"

"Intimidating? Didn't you say it all before? Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Because what my brother has learned from Mr. so far is only the most superficial thing in algebraic geometry, just understanding these formulas and principles is enough for my brother to spend more than half a year, and now it is just now that it can be roughly applied in practice......"

"Then according to your meaning, Wang Wushan's attainments in this area are much deeper than yours, right?" Zhao Xu touched his chin, well, he didn't know which expression to use to describe his mood at the moment.

"This is natural, every time the younger brother encounters a problem, he writes to Mr., and the gentleman only needs a few words to solve the confusion of the younger brother, and can also make the younger brother feel deeply benefited, such a skill, I am afraid that among the teachers in the world, it is also outstanding."

"And this knowledge can be applied to a large number of our ordnance superintendents, but unfortunately the knowledge of the younger brother is too shallow to be put into practice. Alas, I really hope that I can have the opportunity to go to my husband's side for a period of time, and I believe it will definitely make me go to the next level. ”

Seeing Zhao Ji's face full of regret and expectation, Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, couldn't help but spread his hands helplessly. "Eleven Lang, this brother really can't help you, if you leave, who can take over the burden of the ordnance supervisor, and besides, a lot of your master's hard work is here, you are gone......"

"That's right, Your Majesty, when will Mr. return to Beijing?" Zhao Ji nodded helplessly, and then asked with concern.

"This, it's hard to say, but at least this year and next year, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back, after all, now that I have newly occupied the land of the six states, I still need his pillars to run it for me." Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, shook his head helplessly and said.

Not to mention Zhao Ji, he himself also hopes that Wang Yang can return to Beijing as soon as possible, but unfortunately, the development plan of the three states of Yan, You, and Hong has just begun.

At that time, the development and construction of the three states of silver, stone, and dragon also needed his guidance, so in a short period of time, he had no way to come back.

"In that case, we should still give priority to state affairs, although the correspondence is a little troublesome, but these letters can be left as information and read at any time." Zhao Ji could only comfort himself like this.

"By the way, didn't you say that you have made a lot of achievements during this time? Brother Wei happened to have time to come here today, how about you take Brother Wei to go shopping? ”

"Now most of the workshops have moved to the small city outside the city that you ordered to build, and there are only some more important and secretive workshops left, so I will take you to see them."

The Son of Heaven wanted to come over to check the achievements he had made during this time, but Zhao Ji naturally couldn't ask for it, so he immediately put aside his worries and put on a thick coat, and then led the Son of Heaven to the Ordnance Supervision Workshop.

Before, after Wang Yang's reminder and warning, the Son of Heaven also realized that the Great Song Dynasty can now be ahead of other countries in terms of weapons and equipment, so it is equivalent to gaining a leading position in military affairs.

Therefore, in a valley dozens of miles south of Bianliang City, he ordered people to build an inconspicuous small city, and moved many workshops that needed to be kept secret there.

The most core, with a higher degree of secrecy, were all left in the former Ordnance Prison, but due to the emergence of various new cold weapons in the Great Song Dynasty, although there are many fewer people here than in the past, the workshop is becoming more and more detailed.

Zhao Xu followed Zhao Ji's footsteps and first went to check the core component production department of Yuanyou stone throwing machine. There are only a dozen skilled craftsmen here, but the parts they need to work on are piled up in a room next to it.

Seeing Zhao Xu looking at these parts that had been made and smeared with grease to prevent rust, he looked at them with great interest. Zhao Ji next to him introduced in a whisper.

“…… And they don't belong to each other, each is responsible for their own, and each part is processed by two craftsmen in shifts, so even if there is really a meticulous work to buy our craftsmen, then it is impossible for him to completely restore the core components of the Yuanyou stone throwing machine to ......"

"Sure enough, it's a good law, but what about the situation at the Gunpowder Bureau?"

Zhao Xu asked, Zhao Ji answered, and Zhao Xu, who was full of interest, wandered through the workshops of the Ordnance Supervisor for almost an hour, and then returned to the office with Zhao Ji.

Sitting by the iron stove, feeling the warm steam, and sipping the steaming fragrant tea, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction. "After listening to what you said so much, it really made me gain a lot of knowledge, I didn't expect that now this ordnance supervisor has become so orderly under your planning, which is a great achievement."

"Thank you for the praise of the official, in fact, it is more of the merit of Mr., if there is no guidance from Mr., with the ability of the younger brother, where can such a thing be done." Zhao Ji smiled a little embarrassedly.

"You, don't be too presumptuous, Shiyi Lang is smart by nature, I know it, but in the past, your intelligence was spent on those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although that is also good, but now you are like my own brother." Zhao Xu stretched out his big thick hand, patted Zhao Ji's shoulder and said.
