Chapter 545: Cooperate with Wang Hong
Li Feibai also smiled, and when Wang Feng was almost smiling, he said, "Is Lord Wang finished laughing?" ”
Wang Feng said: "Isn't what I said right, it's not like this!" Then tell me, how do you light the medicine twist? ”
Li Feibai said: "This is Lord Wang's mistake!" With 12 points of sincerity, I want to cooperate with Lord Wang to create a new type of artillery, which is a hundred times more powerful than the Franco. This sincerity to the Ming Dynasty can be learned from the sky. Lord Wang ridiculed me in every way, whether he didn't want to have a pure heart for Daming, or he didn't look down on me at all. ”
This remark is a bit serious, whether it is that he has no pure heart for Daming, or that he underestimated Li Feibai, it is not something he can afford.
has no pure heart for Da Ming, which implies that he is not loyal enough. said that he underestimated Li Feibai, implying that he didn't pay enough attention to the people Guo Xun appreciated.
Guo Xun attaches great importance to people, but he doesn't pay attention to them, is this saying that Guo Xun has no discernment, and mistakenly treats stubborn stones as pearls?
Wang Feng immediately got solemn and arched his hand: "Don't blame Gongzi Li, the lower official is just joking with you." ”
Li Feibai said: "Now can I say that I want to cooperate with you to invent a new type of artillery?" ”
Wang Hong said: "I would like to hear about it." After a pause, he added, "What is an invention!" ”
Li Feibai pondered: "The invention is, there was no one before, and now we have created it." ”
Wang Feng said: "In this way, the cannon that Li Gongzi wants to build is not an improved version of the Franco, but a brand-new cannon." ”
Li Feibai said: "That's right! ”
Wang Feng looked at Li Feibai seriously, not like he was joking, and the whole person became solemn. He built the Fran machine, realized the importance of craftsmen, and respected craftsmen very much, which is why he brought He Ru and other three peers.
If Li Feibai can create a brand-new cannon, he can be even more powerful than He Ru, and he said in a respectful tone: "Li Gongzi, please speak." ”
Li Feibai said: "I want to cooperate with you to make a cannon ......" Speaking of this, he shook his head and said, "Now, the iron cannon barrel I have refined is absolutely fine, and cooperating with you is just to make a more efficient gunpowder." If the amount of this gunpowder is the same as that of the gunpowder currently used, the explosion will be a hundred times more powerful when ignited. ”
When he said this, he suddenly saw a change in the expression of someone on Wang Hong's side, and his heart couldn't help but move.
The main reason why he wanted to cooperate with Wang Feng to make a cannon was because he wanted to invent yellow explosives.
Li Feibai wants to build a railway, this idea has long been there! To this end, he pulled a group of people to study the steam engine in Jiyuan. Another group of people were pulled to continuously upgrade the blast furnace and train better and better quality steel.
Nowadays, the steam engine has been invented, and although the efficiency of hot gas utilization is too low, after continuous testing and improvement, it will be possible to build a steam engine with higher power over time.
There are already steam engines to pull trains, there are also railroad tracks laid, and even a small railway track has been laid in Jiyuan to pull the cement, bricks, and stone carvings produced in Xiapan Village to the county seat.
One, there is no support from above. After all, if the railway passes through the provincial government, it will encounter all kinds of officials, and if a joint cannot be opened, the railway will not be able to be built.
It's not time to get support from above, because I don't know who to get the support of. Emperor? The emperor has not yet succeeded in seizing power, even if he supports it, it is useless.
Yang Tinghe? Yang Tinghe gave him the feeling that it was like a sunset about to set, such a big thing was supported by him, and the emperor succeeded in seizing power afterwards, I am afraid that he would not like it, but he was afraid that the railway being built would be stillborn.
Therefore, he still has to wait, and when the emperor really grasps the power, it is not too late to propose it at that time.
Second, a Taihang Mountain divides the Ming Dynasty into two from east to west, and if the railway wants to figure it out, it has to dig a tunnel. Nowadays, the efficiency of digging tunnels is too low, and the basic method is to burn the rocks with fire, then pour water to cool them, and wait for the rocks to burst, and then smash them and dig a little forward.
With this method, I don't know if I can dig ten miles in ten or twenty years, and I don't know how to dig hundreds of miles through Taihang Mountain, and if I want the railway to open to traffic, I don't know if I have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
It would have been much easier if there had been yellow explosives, and the tunnels that could have been dug in ten or twenty years would have been cleared in a month or two months as soon as the yellow explosives were blown up.
In addition, yellow explosives are widely used, and can be used for mining and everything. If you can invent it, just do this business, I'm afraid you can make the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.
Isn't that the Nobel Prize of later generations? The money from selling explosives can make a Nobel Prize that the whole world is eager to find, which shows that the benefits are huge.
He was eager to invent the yellow dynamite, but he didn't have the talent to do so, because it involved chemistry, and he didn't know anything about it. Therefore, the construction of railways stopped, and the construction of guns and cannons did not even dare to think about it.
Just because he stopped doesn't mean he doesn't think about it. As soon as he has time, he thinks, thinks all the time.
In the past few days, he suddenly had an inspiration, he doesn't understand chemistry doesn't mean that the Ming people don't understand chemistry! So when he mentioned the word chemistry to others, everyone who heard it was at a loss, it must be because there is no word chemistry at all.
It's like, Taoist alchemy is the same as chemistry, if you ask whether the Taoist understands chemistry or not, the Taoist will definitely shake his head. Because people call it alchemy, not chemistry.
He believes that maybe there are people who understand chemistry, and the key is to find these people who understand chemistry. Especially where to find someone who understands the photochemistry of explosives.
Hearing that Wang Feng came to see Guo Xun and that Wang Feng was making a Franco machine, he had a whim, and felt that someone who knew the chemistry related to explosives must be someone who often came into contact with gunpowder.
Wang Feng is a third-grade official, taking the lead in building Franco machines in large quantities, and there must be many people under him who are good at using gunpowder, and maybe there are people who understand the photochemistry of explosives.
Even if there is no one now, as long as you describe the power of using yellow explosives to Wang Hong, and use Wang Hong's network resources, you should be able to find such a talent.
Even if he couldn't find it, he personally took the lead and cooperated with Wang Feng to lead people to research and invent yellow explosives.
If it doesn't work in ten years, then twenty years. Twenty years is not enough, then thirty years.
Today, he wants to cooperate with Wang Feng to build artillery, and he vigorously talks about the power of building artillery, that is, he wants to move Wang Hong, cooperate with Wang Hong, and spend more than ten or twenty years to create explosives. He didn't have the intention of finding a talent who could make yellow explosives, but when he described the power of yellow explosives, Wang Hong's subordinates' expressions changed!
It's not one person's expression that changes, but two people's expressions that change suddenly.
What does this mean? Even if the two of them had not invented yellow explosives, they had at least ever seen anyone with a similar power to yellow explosives. This made him feel excited, and he talked more hard about the power of the cannon.
Wang Feng didn't believe that there was gunpowder in the world that was a hundred times more powerful than the current gunpowder, but he also admired Li Feibai's daring to think, and his face did not show any mockery, and said:
"Since the gunpowder, the formula has been continuously improved, over the past thousand years, the power of gunpowder has been maximized, to create a gunpowder that is hundreds of times more powerful than the current gunpowder, I am afraid that I can't!"
Li Feibai smiled: "So, I want to cooperate with Lord Wang." If you can build a Francophone, I can build a firebolt, and if we work together, we will definitely be able to invent gunpowder that is a hundred times more powerful than gunpowder now. ”
