Chapter 16: Anticipate the Enemy in Advance

Huang Sheng knew that the scientist was a real person, and seeing that he seemed to like the clairvoyant mirror very much, he didn't have anything extra to give to himself, so he had such an explanation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huang Sheng said to him: "My lord, can you give me all those crystal scraps, I want to try it myself, and see if I can get a clairvoyant mirror if I can get lucky." ”

Sun Yuanhua thought that this young man was a new thing in the mood of a teenager, and said: "Xiaoyou is smart, and it is very possible to find a match in those lenses that the official has selected." ”

He asked Huang Sheng to fetch the crystal himself, as long as the rest could be taken, anyway, he made the clairvoyant mirror with a research purpose.

Now that the experiment has been successful, if you want to make any more crystals when you return to Beijing in the future, as long as you send someone to inform Huai'an Mansion, they will quickly send them to the Ministry of Industry Manufacturing Bureau where their mentor Xu Guangqi is in charge.

Huang Sheng got two sacks of transparent crystals from Sun Yuanhua, including those scrapped crystal ballasts.

Huang Sheng was so happy that he couldn't produce glass now, but he could melt crystals in the high-temperature inverted flame furnace that he had transformed! You can get the crystal glass yourself, and you can also use the mold to make the shape you need.

Huang Sheng found the three craftsmen who specialized in polishing crystals for Sun Yuanhua, recorded their work processes, and bought all their tools for money.

Crystal polishing is not difficult, the most difficult is the cutting, an irregular solid, into a thin sheet is too laborious, I don't know how many times to fail before it happens to succeed once.

Huang Sheng omitted this most difficult work by re-pouring it after melting. The clairvoyant mirror is the high-tech of this era, this technology can not be leaked, if Jiannu obtains such a thing, the Ming army will be even more sad.

Huang Sheng decided to make a few monocular telescopes with a focal length of 8x and a few Galilean fixed telescopes with a focal length of 40x. I am more confident in fighting guerrilla warfare with Jiannu here, and I can anticipate the enemy in advance, and I can strike first.

Jiannu's troops can be spotted from a distance, and they can calmly arrange whether to attack or retreat. The key is that the clairvoyant mirror must not be captured by Jiannu, which is like adding insult to injury to the already vulnerable Ming army.

Huang Sheng'an stayed in Ningyuan City with peace of mind, and took time to hide at home every day with Huang Dongshan, Gou'er, and Lu Chengzu to use a small file to correct the flintlock rifling gun parts. These parts are processed from the steel smelted by Huang Sheng himself, and the quality of the products is undoubted, but the output is too low.

Huang Mingli, Huang Mingdao and Li Dagang are all working hard to practice their military skills, and the special preparation is the cooperation of the three of them. Huang Mingli and the three of them have already tasted the sweetness in the last actual battle, and they have summed up a lot of experience and strengthened a few simple and effective actions for everyone to practice together.

The requirement is to be fast, accurate, and ruthless, no matter how many enemies there are, your own side will always fight three to one. These family members are all fighters with actual combat experience, and their personal skills are not weak. After special coordinated combat training, they may not be able to defeat the Jiannu waistcoat alone, but they can win in three against three.

Moreover, the six steel guns made by Huang Sheng are not simple, they are not spear heads at all, but three-edged military thorns specially made of steel with high hardness. Huang Mingli has experimented that with such a gun, he can only spend half the strength of the Jiannu Tiger Gun, and he can achieve the effect of breaking the three layers of armor of Jiannu.

Because Huang Sheng may be fighting guerrilla warfare in the dense forest, it is inconvenient for the gun to be too long, but it is too short and dangerous to fight against the Jiannu cavalry. It doesn't matter that Huang Sheng has high-quality steel, and he has made these six retractable spears that are unique in the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone gave it a very attractive name, 'Armor-Piercing Sharpshooter.'"

When fighting in the woods, the 'Armor Piercing Spear' maintains a one-man height length, which is the most powerful and flexible to assassinate. When encountering the impact of the Jiannu cavalry, it can be turned into a spear in a few seconds, which can ensure that the enemy is stabbed without being hit by the warhorse.

The efficiency of the Ming Dynasty is too low, the summer is almost over, and the last reward has not yet come down. In the past two months, Huang Sheng has made helmets with visors for himself and ten family members, which are relatively ugly, like blinds, but very protective.

Black Tiger is the most skilled at riding and shooting, and he can't penetrate the face armor designed by Huang Sheng to achieve damage when he shoots arrows with Jiannu's foot bow in thirty steps. Ten flintlock rifled guns have been completed, and they only have time to make ten, Huang Sheng has carefully calibrated each one, and these ten guns are definitely close to the same standard.

In Liaodong, he is like being naked in a pack of wolves, and these ten flintlock rifling guns that have been slowly sharpened with great effort are the only guarantee for the body of the great Ming scholar without any force.

Huang Sheng only dared to make four clairvoyant telescopes and two fixed Galilean telescopes. It's still sneakily hidden, and no one can know. It's just that the armor still can't meet the needs of eleven people to equip three layers, in fact, Huang Sheng is not willing to wear three layers of armor, he will be crushed to death by their weight.

The three-layer armor has a hundred catties, how can a scholar carry it. Moreover, Huang Sheng positioned himself as a sniper, of course, he would not take the lead in battle, and he should pre-set several safe and secure sniper positions in every battle, and secretly shoot and kill the enemy.

The steel that I smelted by myself is the treasure of this era, and it should be the only one in the Ming Dynasty. Huang Sheng took all the steel raw materials that he didn't have time to process home and hid them.

Of course, the thoughtful Huang Sheng left a material appraisal on each one, knocked a steel seal, and wrapped it in oiled paper. In particular, there are several steels that can be used to process milling cutters and springs, all of which made Huang Dongshan dig a pit in the kitchen and bury it.

On this day, Huang Sheng was just about to go out to practice marksmanship when he heard someone crying bitterly at the door. Huang Sheng wondered a little in his heart, who is it? Came to my door early in the morning and cried.

At this time, Huang Dongshan led a person into the courtyard, and comforted the man as he walked: "Gu Shanhai, don't cry, I will see my family for a while, and say it well, my family is kind-hearted, and he will definitely not care about your family's affairs." ”

The young man named Gu Shanhai, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was the eldest son of Gu San, the small leader of the craftsmen in Master Sun Yuanhua's place, and he also had a younger brother who was fifteen years old and a younger sister who was thirteen years old.

Gu Shanhai came to the living room and immediately knelt down when he saw Huang Sheng, and couldn't help but start crying, unable to speak. Huang Dongshan had no choice but to tell him what he had just learned at the door.

Huang Sheng had not been there since he had completed what he needed in Sun Yuanhua's workshop, he was too busy and his time was too precious, he had to practice shooting by himself, and he also had to use modern scientific concepts to guide his family to train and read.

I had to hide at home and take Huang Dongshan with them, making binoculars by hand, flintlock pistols, and experimenting with some small inventions, and they were very busy.

Now the hands of Huang Sheng, the great scholar, are not white and pure, they are all fighting with Lu Chengzu's hands. Huang Mingli and they rushed to do it every time they saw Huang Sheng making something with his own hands, they all thought that they couldn't let the scholars lose their decency, but unfortunately they were too clumsy and could only do some rough work with brute force.

Huang Sheng did not dare to process the more precise parts for them, the scrap rate was too high, it was too time-consuming, laborious and material-intensive, and the material was too precious to be wasted.

Just ten days ago, something happened in the workshop. When several craftsmen led the migrant workers to lift the heavy Hongyi cannon onto the Ningyuan city wall, one of the migrant workers stepped on the air and fell, causing the migrant workers who were marching forward with neat steps and shouting trumpets to lose their balance.

The result was too tragic, more than 5,000 catties of Hongyi cannons rolled down along the horse road of the inner city wall, five migrant workers and a Ming soldier died on the spot, more than 20 people were injured, and three of them died of injuries.

Gu Shanhai's father, Gu San, was also unfortunately grazed by the artillery, and this bulky guy flattened half of his foot with a light flutter. He fainted from the pain on the spot, and he should not have been seriously injured. The workshop sent him home for two taels of silver, and then he came back to work.

Gu San thought that after the doctor's treatment, after removing the crushed part, he should be able to walk with a limp on the sole of most of his feet, but somehow, his wounds just couldn't heal, and he was bloody all day long. The family didn't know how much thought had been put into it, and it didn't help.

Their family was originally a destitute artisan household, and in order to treat Gu San's injuries, the family's pitiful savings had already been spent, and now it has become even worse and has become destitute.

The family now relies entirely on those poor buddies to scrape together a little silver to maintain a mouthful of food, Gu San's injuries are getting worse and worse, and a strong man is getting thinner and thinner, and he is about to die.

In a desperate situation, those workers remembered the approachable Lord Huang who came here to make the firecracker, so Gu Shanhai came here to ask Lord Huang for some money with the heart of giving it a try, and see if he could save his father's life.

Huang Sheng was shocked when he heard the situation clearly, that Gu San was a rare senior technical talent, although he couldn't write, but he had mastered the most practical steel identification method in this era, and he was also the top casting master of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Sheng hurriedly called Huang Mingli and Huang Dongshan to follow Gu Shanhai and hurried to Gu's house, it was June now, and the weather was very hot. The place where these craftsmen live is full of garbage, sewage is flowing everywhere, flies and mosquitoes are flying and smelling bad, Huang Sheng can't help frowning.

The craftsmen here should be the treasures of the Ming Dynasty, and with their inventions and creations, this era will progress, but now their living environment is so unbearable, it is no wonder that they have no enthusiasm for their work.

The Ming bureaucrats treated these craftsmen like this, and in the end, who was guilty of substandard firearms?

Huang Sheng came to a courtyard full of black from the burning, and the houses here were shacks made of reed mats and hay on the ruins. There are four artisans living here, all of whom know Huang Sheng.

As soon as Huang Sheng entered the courtyard, those craftsmen and family members saw it and fell to their knees. Huang Sheng just didn't adapt to this kind of scene, so he hurriedly asked everyone to get up and came to the snail house where Gu San's family of five was leaking everywhere.

Gu San's mind was still sober, and he was so excited that he couldn't cry when he saw that his son had really invited Lord Huang.

He wanted to struggle to kowtow to Huang Sheng, but was held down by Huang Mingli. Gu San was tortured by the injury for nearly twenty days, and every day he was in unbearable pain, unable to sleep, and a strong man was already too thin to look good.

Now that he has lost all his thoughts and just wants to die early, he saw Huang Sheng start to check his wounds, and said to Huang Sheng: "My lord, you can come and see the villain, the villain is already grateful, and now Langzhong can't heal the villain, adult, you are a scholar, don't dirty your hands." ”

Huang Sheng ignored him, forcibly endured the disgusting smell, and carefully examined Gu San's injuries. Gu San said again: "My lord, you are a good person, and the villain has a cheap life, so if you die, you will die!" I just want to ask the adult to accept a pair of children from the villain, they are all used to doing work, and they will definitely serve the adults well. ”

At this time, his mother-in-law, Gu Wang, had already cried bitterly, a child who was as thin as a skeleton and could not cover her body at all, she couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, knelt in front of Gu San's bed and cried: "Daddy, mother, don't sell Ling'er, Ling'er will never shout that she is hungry anymore." ”
