Chapter Seventy-Nine: Silent for the Time Being
Because he was deaf, his howl was extremely loud, which made Zhu Zhanji laugh uncontrollably.
But when he hugged Zhu Zhanji's leg with a handful of snot and tears, Zhu Zhanji was disgusted again.
He kicked him away with a gentle kick. "What a howl, aren't you all right!"
Only then did he touch his body, as if there were no parts missing, and he cried and laughed again. "The slave just thought that she would never be able to wait for His Highness any longer."
"Alright, alright, let's see if the others are okay, and if it's okay, let's go and see how it goes."
He wasn't afraid just now, but now he's a little scared. "Why don't you order the other one and look at it again......"
There's a big killer in there, and he's scared right now.
Not only was he scared, but most of the researchers were scared for a moment. Only a few gunpowder experts rushed forward to observe the big crater that had been blown up.
A jar of almost five catties of explosives blasted a large pit with a diameter of about three meters in the dirt floor, and all the mounds above the surface were hit by the shock wave and swept away.
Several gunpowder specialists were busy starting to measure, calculating the power of the gunpowder based on the large pits at the site.
Seeing this big pit, no one doubts the new gunpowder, no, it should now be called explosives is far more powerful than granular black powder.
The power of black powder needs to be increased more with crushed stone and steel balls. Because black powder is not a real explosive in terms of detonation speed, detonation capacity, and detonation pressure, except for the explosion heat.
In ancient times, when fighting for the city, a city gate could not be blown open with dozens of catties of black powder, although those black powders were not pure, but they could already know how powerful they were.
Nitrocellulose explosives, although not as powerful as TNT explosives, and even less powerful than more powerful picric acid explosives, have evolved from gunpowder to explosives.
Not only were the researchers of the Institute of Chemistry alarmed, but several nearby research institutes, including Yu Linwei on duty, were actually frightened.
In the past gunpowder tests, when there was such a great power, the house was almost about to collapse.
However, seeing Zhu Zhanji standing there well, everyone was relieved, and returned to their duty posts, stopping more and more onlookers outside.
After two quarters of an hour, the researchers calculated the power of the gunpowder based on the damage to the crater and the wooden pillars embedded in the ground to test the power.
The power of this new type of gunpowder is more than five times that of granular black powder, and this calculation is not much different from what Blue Yan knows.
Looking at the researchers who kept calculating, Lan Yan said softly: "Black powder: the detonation velocity is about 500 m/s, the volume of the detonation gas is 280 liters/kg, and the detonation heat is 3015 kJ/kg. The detonation velocity of TNT explosives is 6920 m/s, the volume of detonation gas is 620 l/kg, and the detonation heat is 5066 kJ/kg. The detonation velocity of picric acid is 8000 m/s, and the detonation heat is 6322 kJ/kg.
Detonation speed is the most important factor to measure the power of instantaneous explosion, simple comparison, TNT explosion power is 14 times that of black powder, nitroglycerin explosive is 16 times that of black powder, one ton of explosives is equivalent to six or seven tons of high-purity black powder, and there must be a detonator for instant ignition explosion, and detonate all black powder at the same time! ”
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Don't release these data for the time being, and then take them out to shock them later." Your nitrocellulose explosives should belong to the nitroglycerin explosives series, why is it so much less powerful? ”
Lan Yan said dissatisfiedly: "Then there must be materials with higher purity......"
Zhu Zhanji also knew that he was too much, and the horse hadn't been fed yet, just like it was running away.
He pinched Lan Yan's little face and said with a smile: "I was wrong, and I will compensate you tonight." ”
When the civil and military officials saw Zhu Zhanji's movements, they were all taken aback, and they all hurriedly turned their backs, or lowered their heads, pretending not to see his movements.
After recording the experimental data, Li Liang had regained his composure at this time, saluted Lan Yan, and asked, "Liangdi, is the other tank of explosives so powerful?" ”
Lan Yan nodded and said, "It's really calculated, the power should be a little greater, so you have to be careful." ”
"Xie Liangdi cares."
Li Liang was frightened just now, and he was still scared at this moment, but he felt extremely glorious. Anyway, he won't give up this opportunity to light the fire himself, it's a big deal, when he runs out later, he will lie on the ground directly, so as not to be directly knocked down.
Other officials knelt down in front of Zhu Zhanji one after another, begging him to sit farther away so as not to be affected.
Of course, Zhu Zhanji will not refuse, the distance is close, and the eardrum that shakes hurts. What's more, the ugly posture of him and Lan Yan covering their ears and opening their mouths put the guards in danger.
Several chamberlains hurriedly moved their chairs to the corridor at least a hundred meters away, and Zhu Zhanji simply didn't sit down, just stood by a pillar, waiting for Li to light the fire.
The other researchers also had experience this time, and they didn't dare to underestimate the power of the new explosives, although they were not as far away as Zhu Zhanji, but they all squatted down one by one, not daring to directly face the impact of the explosives.
Li Liang lit the explosives in another part of the field, then turned and ran.
may have wanted to show his merit in front of Zhu Zhanji, but after he ran out of the test site, he did not stop and squat, but continued to walk quickly towards Zhu Zhanji.
Then, with an even more alarming bang, a large amount of dust exploded, and a huge shockwave made him snap to the ground and be knocked to the ground.
Several little eunuchs hurriedly ran to him in fright and helped him up.
He was really hurt this time, and his nose bleeded because he hit the ground.
Seeing Zhu Zhanji, who couldn't help laughing, and Lan Yan, who couldn't stop laughing, he felt that he was too unlucky, so he covered his face and turned around and ran. "Take our family to wash your face......"
When Ichikiko saw the scale of the explosion, she was shocked and speechless. He looked at the blue smoke hiding behind Zhu Zhanji, smiling like a girl, but he seemed to see a devil.
He knelt down with a thud, kowtowed with his hands on the ground, and said, "Your Highness, the poor Dao is served." ”
Lan Yan glanced at Zhu Zhanji proudly, restrained his smile, and was supported by Hu Liang, like a weak girl.
Zhu Zhanji snorted and said, "Get up, you still have to plan this matter." Before the return of the emperor's ancestor, I want you to sort out the Taoist scriptures, fill in the teachings, and cultivate a group of missionary talents for Lonely, is it possible? ”
"If you can't do it, come to see Your Highness."
"That's good, don't make a noise about this matter, and when you finish the preparations here, you will surprise people at that time."
As soon as Qingzi got up, Zhu Zhanji walked to the test site again.
From gunpowder to explosives, this step can be said to be what Zhu Zhanji has been longing for for a long time.
He had done many arms businesses in his previous life, and he had built two military factories by himself, even if he was now using the technology of the Ming Dynasty, there was no technical problem in building a factory that produced Hanyang.
But the bullet problem can't be solved, and it's useless if you can produce AK47.
Making bullets may seem simple, but it's actually more complicated than making guns. Zhu Zhanji has experience in building a bullet factory and knows the bullet production process. But he is not a technician, whether it is precision, or gunpowder, he can't solve it.
Now that she has nitrocellulose gunpowder filled with gunpowder, Lan Yan says she can make mercury thunderate, and Zhu Zhanji certainly wants to make a real rotary pull-back machine rifle.
Guns like Hanyang-made, Mauser 1898, including the 38 big cover, are actually not complicated in construction.
If the process of bullets is not up to scratch, it can be slowly studied and solved, and those are not chemical products, and there are always technicians who can gradually solve the process problems.
This time, the crater was bigger than before. Blue Smoke said that this is an imitation picric acid explosive prepared from chemical raw materials, and the power of this explosive is greater than that of the well-known TNT explosive.
The people at the scene were already stunned, but they knew that the explosives were made from blue smoke. Although they don't know what materials are used, they are definitely prepared from warehouse materials.
If it weren't for her identity, the gunpowder experts on the scene would have been eager to directly force Lan Yan to tell the formula.
Being stared at by everyone, Lan Yan did not forget to show a trace of shyness, but in fact, he was extremely proud in his heart.
Protected by Zhu Zhanji, she found the meaning of existence in the Ming Dynasty six hundred years ago.
Liao Xuan, who was the seventh product of the Ministry of Industry, knelt down facing Zhu Zhanji, and said loudly: "Congratulations to Your Highness, you have obtained this powerful weapon, and in the future, the cities of the world will be invincible, and the Ming musket will be invincible." ”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head with a smile and said, "This chemical research institute, Lone has never had time to take care of it, but he has always taken it to heart. Some time ago, when Rigu and Lan Liangdi were resting, they had to be taught by God to obtain the method of making new explosives.
And in addition to explosives, there are also new technologies such as medicines and dyes, which both Lone and Lan Liangdi know at the same time. In the future, the Institute of Chemistry and the Institute of Medicine will be led by Lan Liangdi for the Lonely, and you must not slack off. ”
As soon as Zhu Zhanji said this, everyone was frightened. Let them listen to a woman, they are naturally unwilling. But if this Lan Liangdi has been taught by God, then it is another matter.
None of them dared to doubt Zhu Zhanji's words, because the power of this gunpowder was unimaginable to them before.
What's more, this Lan Liangdi will at least be a concubine in the future, and it is not a shame to be able to work under the leadership of the concubine.
As for the people in the imperial court, they will make irresponsible remarks, but the research institute in Xiamaqiao was established by Zhu Zhanji himself, not the system of the imperial court.
As soon as a clever young researcher rolled his eyes, he immediately bowed down and shouted, "Meet Liangdi." ”
Everyone else also came to their senses, including the Taoist priests, who saluted in unison. "Meet Liangdi."
After the visit, Liao Xuan boldly asked, "Your Highness, what is the ...... of this new type of explosives?" Recipe ......"
Zhu Zhanji looked back at Lan Yan, and she said with a cold face: "When I enter the research institute and understand the research progress of all parties, I will naturally classify you according to the director."
Not only will there be explosive recipes, dye recipes, but all kinds of things that you have never seen before.
However, these are all secrets of the heavens, and you are not allowed to spread them, otherwise, people and gods will abandon them. ”
Everyone shouted: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”
Zhu Zhanji was very satisfied with Lan Yan's performance, they didn't communicate well before, but Lan Yan would follow Zhu Zhanji's words and make up for the lie.
got Zhu Zhanji's encouraging eyes, and Lan Yan, who was a little flustered, also settled down. With Zhu Zhanji's protection, let's treat them as NPCs in the future.
Anyway, it was a basket that was stabbed, and if there was a mistake, there was also Zhu Zhanji in his pocket.
Let Liao Xuan arrange a clean courtyard for Lan Yan, and Zhu Zhanji is also considering equipping Lan Yan with more palace maids and chamberlains, even including guards.
When he returned to the palace, Yiqingzi's attitude towards Lan Yan changed drastically, thinking that he had questioned it in front of her before, and now he only felt terrified.
With Zhu Zhanji's favor for her, and with the fact that she can get the Heavenly Divine Skill, it would be a little too reckless to start by herself!
However, Lan Yan didn't take his initial words to heart, and now, she was thinking about how to keep the other concubines from being jealous and maintain harmony.
Back in the palace, Zhu Zhanji discussed with Yiqingzi about the establishment of a preparatory committee.
According to Yiqingzi's meaning, this matter cannot be vigorously publicized now, but preparations should be made first.
This is also in line with Zhu Zhanji's idea, that it will take at least one or two years to compile science into a book and systematically plan various subjects.
In addition, it is necessary to recruit some open-minded disciples from Taoism, and first cultivate some core disciples, who are responsible for liaison with all parties.
Of course, it is more important to train some scientific and technological talents, who will be the core force of Shinrikyo in the future.
After sending away a clear child, Zhu Zhanji didn't see anyone, and was alone in the study recalling the experience from yesterday to today, including the change of ideas.
He needs to use this memory to completely clear his thoughts.
The previous conversation with Yiqingzi made Zhu Zhanji really understand what he was going to do now.
The establishment of a new branch on the basis of Taoism requires liaison with Taoism throughout the country.
But Zhu Zhanji doesn't have to worry about this, Xuan Zhen, who used to be his master and guard, can't go to the battlefield because of his pure nature.
After teaching Zhu Zhanyong and their martial arts for a few years, he was appointed by Zhu Di as the right Zhengyi of the Daolu Division.
This position is equivalent to the deputy secretary general of the Taoist Association in later generations, and the position of Zuo Zhengyi is equivalent to the position of secretary general has always been held by the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain.
Taoism has a long history in China, and there are many factions, and in the whole country, dozens of factions can be divided at will.
But in general, it is mainly composed of the two major factions of the southern faction and the northern faction Quanzhen.
The southern faction has always been led by Longhu Mountain, when they invaded the Mengyuan Dynasty, they fought for the tiger, and after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, for the sake of peace, they still endured the Zhang family.
But although he made the Zhang family a famous Taoist leader, he never reused it, but began to support the Northern Sect Quanzhen.
Wudang Mountain was rebuilt in such an environment, and the cost was equivalent to three million taels of silver, you know, the history of the construction of Beiping City, but also spent more than three million taels.
Xuan Zhen is now in this position, and when the Zhang family is not being reused, he is actually the leader of Taoism.
The Taoist leader at this time was not the powerless secretary general of later generations, but had the right to live and kill Taoism in the world.
Zhu Zhanji's teacher Yao Guangxiao, who died during his voyage to sea, was the monk Lu Si Zuo Shande, who was in charge of Buddhism in the world.
It is also possible to know the importance of this location.
Regarding the establishment of Shinrikyo mission sites and county branches, Zhu Zhanji was ready to hand over the responsibility to Xuan Zhen.
As soon as the imperial court gave an order, Zhu Zhanji believed that most Taoist temples would immediately change their ways and join the Shinrikyo.
However, Zhu Zhanji handed over the general outline of the Taoist Scripture to Yiqingzi to be responsible, which can be regarded as a balance of power.
This kind of general outline is to gather people from all over the country, and then select and refine all the knowledge about ideas and theories in the "Book of Changes", "Tao Te Ching" and other Taoist scriptures, so that they are more in line with the royal rule and social development.
In addition to them, Zhu Zhanji will also select all kinds of science talents from Xiamaqiao to join the sect.
He didn't want to make this sect Shinto, but he wanted to make this sect a new type of school. Classical Chinese, Mathematics, History, Physics, and Chemistry.
Attaching to Taoism is just to find the spiritual roots of faith for all people, not to make people superstitious.
Man cannot be without faith, for the ignorant are fearless, and the fearless are mad.
In later generations, one reason why the world feared China was because the government was strong, and the other reason was that the people were mostly non-believers.
You don't have fear in your heart, and who knows where your bottom line is?
For example, an Arab woman is generally not allowed to marry a foreigner, and even if she does, she must marry a scripture bearer.
That is, you can marry a Christian, because they are also religious, but you can't marry someone who has no faith, unless you are also religious.
Because religious beliefs can be observed, and Westerners generally have beliefs, they carry forward this as a universal value.
In Zhu Zhanji's view, this is a manifestation of extreme ignorance, but because people have the right to speak and the standards, they use this way to curb you.
In Zhu Zhanji's view, this belief is not necessarily a religious belief, the benevolence, righteousness and honesty of Confucianism, the great love of the Mohists are all beliefs, and freedom and democracy are also beliefs.
A truly good faith, first and foremost, must conform to the interests of the masses of the people.
to see if this belief is conducive to the progress of society; whether it is conducive to improving the scientific and cultural level of society; whether it is conducive to improving people's sense of well-being; Is it conducive to the stability of the country.
That's what really matters.
In today's era, if you want to curb Confucianism, you must have ideas that can replace Confucianism.
It's not just about continuing to control the population, it's about opening up the wisdom of telling the people which direction they should go.
It's just to defeat Confucianism and bring it down, and there is no discipline to replace it, so what will happen to the imperial examination in the future? What is the channel for the people to rise?
This is the center of the development of the whole society and the source of stable order, without which the whole society would be in chaos.
In the stable social environment of later generations, people changed their fate through knowledge, but in fact, they only changed the soup but not the medicine.
There is no Confucian scholarship, also because Lao Ma's scholarship has been developed to a certain extent.
But even so, after a few decades, the state still had to pick up many things from Confucianism, because Lao Ma's theory was not perfect.
Taoism has a mass base, and Taoist theories are actually on par with Confucianism in politics, culture, economy, mathematics and other aspects.
Especially in the early Ming Dynasty, the integration of the three religions made Confucianism and Taoism both you have me, and I have you. Zhu Zhanji did this and started from this aspect, which would not cause too many social contradictions.
It will not work at all to join and say that the Mo family and miscellaneous families will be moved out now, because the people don't know what the Mo family is and what the miscellaneous family is.
Therefore, it is still the right way to take Confucianism and Taoism as the backbone, and fill in the knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry into the Confucian scriptures.
No matter how good you are at studying Confucianism, you are at most a historian and a master of Chinese studies.
But for thousands of years, it has been such people who have become the leaders of the country, the administrators. They were nurtured by officialdom, and the last one became black-hearted politicians.
It is not that there are no professional and technical officials in the Ming Dynasty, but professional and technical officials can only be officials, only petty officials, and they cannot grasp power at all.
If you want to change all this, just starting from the adjustment of officials is just a change of soup and not a change of medicine.
Everything can only be changed from the knowledge structure.
In the future, the household department will not settle accounts, officials who can't count don't need it, officials who don't understand the royal mind don't need it, and officials who don't know how to march and fight in the military department don't need it, so perseverance, at most 20 years, can let the Ming Dynasty embark on the right path.
Joining to cancel the imperial examination now and overthrow Confucianism will only cause chaos in the world.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhu Zhanji picked up a pencil and prepared to write them down.
Tao Chang's voice came from outside. "Crown Princess, please let the slave maid inform His Highness ......"
This sentence is actually a notice, Zhu Zhanji asked people not to disturb him, but the crown princess is his mother, and Tao Chang does not dare to stop him.
Zhang took Sun Xian and a few chamberlains and palace maids to the door of the study. "Wait outside, and do not disturb."
"Yes......"
A group of people dispersed, Tao Chang looked at Zhu Zhanji, saw him secretly waved his hand, and then left.
Zhu Zhanji smiled and turned out of the desk. "The mother concubine came over at this time, but she has something to say to the child?"
When his eyes turned to Sun Xian's body, Sun Xian didn't dare to look at him and lowered his head.
Zhang asked softly, "What is Lan Liangdi's intention to take over your research institute in Xiamaqiao?" She is a woman, how can she show her head, won't she lose my royal prestige? ”
Zhu Zhanji did not hide this matter, and it is not surprising that Zhang and Sun Xian can know about it.
Although Zhu Zhanji respects the Zhang family, he doesn't want to argue with her over conceptual differences, because it can't be explained at all.
When he came back, he had already communicated with Lan Yan, and he dealt with everyone with the words of Doumu Niangniang's reincarnation.
Although this matter cannot be publicized all over the world under Yiqingzi's analysis, it is just right to use it against the Zhang family.
With such a rhetoric, and let the blue smoke reveal a little extraordinary, they women will not be a problem.
Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth and said: "Yesterday, Lan Liangdi was reincarnated by Doumu Niangniang, and Doumu Niangniang favored her and taught her unique skills, and these unique skills are unprecedented in my Ming Dynasty, which can make my Ming Dynasty reborn." ”
Zhang and Sun Xian were both shocked, looked at Zhu Zhanji and exclaimed in surprise: "What! ”
