Located on the right side of Xuanburi Street in Yongfang, Dashi Yongfang, there are two newly renovated large compounds, which are the newly established Royal Academy of Engineering and the Ordnance Department of the Ming Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because the Ordnance Department and the Royal Academy of Engineering are responsible for manufacturing and research and development, they are closely related to each other, and now they are mainly based on research and development.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao asked the two institutions to be next to each other, so that the technical officials on both sides could discuss, that is, hang two signs in the same place.

This also makes it easier for scholars, officials and engineers of the Royal Academy of Engineering Sciences to conduct experiments and conduct research.

This mansion was originally the mansion of Wang Jimo, the right attendant of the original Ministry of Rites, because there was a huge pond in his courtyard, and his garden was actually a small coal mine.

Moreover, it is far away from the downtown area and in the city, which will not affect the lives of residents, produce noise or other hazards (such as explosions), and is convenient for protection and blockade.

So after it was confiscated, it was improved by Zhu Youxiao to the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Ordnance Department.

The current Royal Academy of Engineering can say that it is engaged in everything, and the projects are very complicated, ranging from small soaps, glass, springs, mirrors, etc., to large cannons, four-wheeled carriages, firearms, etc.

As long as His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao thought of any project, he would hysterically make up a lot of materials and hand them over to the Royal Academy of Engineering to do.

There are now more than 100 so-called Daming Future Technology products in the display of the Royal Academy of Engineering, such as a watch and a box of toothpaste, a toothbrush, a zipper, a photo of a model, a PSS gun without bullets, and even a model of a passenger plane.

Every official or scholar who visits the Royal Academy of Engineering will come here first to see it, just as it is as strange as we look at science fiction models.

However, Sun Yuanhua, who is also the head of the Royal Academy of Engineering, was already surprised at this time, and even became immune to some scantily clad model photos sent by His Majesty, instead of reacting as soon as he saw them, and he couldn't wait to go home and immediately find his concubine.

As the head of the courtyard, Sun Yuanhua naturally has his own laboratory, and his laboratory is an independent courtyard with all kinds of artillery and gunpowder.

At this time, he was wearing a white coat designed by His Majesty himself, and he was weighing between a pile of medicinal powders with a small scale like Lao Langzhong, and he was still reading the words of a few taels of sulfur and a few taels of saltpeter.

But just as he was reassuring with the new gunpowder formula, there was a sudden loud bang from the laboratory of Song Yingxing in the next courtyard (in fact, it was just an independent small courtyard), and then it sounded many times.

Sun Yuanhua was so frightened that the scales in his hand fell to the ground, and he hurriedly ran out and shouted: "What happened, did you hurt people's lives?" ”

Bi Maokang, the person in charge of the Ordnance Department, also hurriedly ran over: "Is there an accident again, tell you to be careful, you don't believe it, sulfur and saltpeter should be separated, and they must be shaded and fireproof!" ”

I can't help but worry about these two bigwigs, because the Ordnance Department and the Royal Academy of Engineering have been developing thermal weapons since their establishment, from gunpowder to steel smelting and firearms manufacturing, the danger factor is already high, and just a few days ago, a craftsman affiliated to Song Yingxing accidentally caused an explosion when he used saltpeter and green alum (sulfuric acid) to develop concentrated nitric acid, and the gunpowder on the side was also detonated, the craftsman was killed on the spot, and Song Yingxing was also blown unconscious.

When Zhu Youxiao found out, he directly reprimanded Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua, and personally drafted the management rules of the laboratory, and also gave the craftsman a generous pension.

But this incident also let Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua know that it is not easy to do economics to engage in these miscellaneous studies, and sometimes they may lose their lives, so the sudden explosion now can't help but make the two not nervous.

Other technical officials and craftsmen also rushed over, and they prepared Song Yingxing to open the laboratory so that they could know what was going on.

According to the regulations, the independent laboratory of each academician is a well-guarded place, and no one is allowed to enter without permission, except for the person in charge of the laboratory, i.e., the academician and his craftsmen or students.

Therefore, these people could only wait outside, but Sun Yuanhua, who was really worried about the safety of the people inside, still had to step forward and say to the Jinyi guard guarding in front of the laboratory:

"This little brother, I don't know what's going on inside, can I let this official and Bi Shilang go in first."

"Your Majesty strictly ordered, this is a military aircraft center, and without the waist card of the laboratory or the introduction of the people inside, idle people are not allowed to enter!"

Although the Jinyi guards guarding here also heard a loud noise just now, they were well-trained and did not open their minds to Sun Yuanhua and the others.

However, at this moment, the door of Song Yingxing's laboratory suddenly opened, and a black face appeared in front of everyone, and the brim of his hat was even more burnt, with a strong smell of burnt protein.

Even, several big holes were burned in front of this person's official uniform, but the man was very happy, and as soon as he came out, he laughed at Sun Yuanhua and Bi Maokang and said: "The two officials, Song is not talented, but it can be regarded as the completion of His Majesty's task of improving the flowering bomb!" ”

As he spoke, Song Yingxing pulled Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua and others in, and when the two saw the mess all over the ground, there was a large stove that was two people tall in the center, and there were some crooked glass equipment on the side.

These glass equipment (in fact, test tubes, measuring cylinders, etc.) were expensive in this era, and they were all purchased by Zhu Youxiao through the system to do experiments for them.

But now Song Yingxing has placed these things at random, and they are all filled with some black viscous liquid, I have to say, it is really a bit tyrannical.

"Look, everybody!"

Song Yingxing pointed to the dozens of pigs that had been bombarded to death, which should have been filled with various pieces of iron or had been shocked to death:

"The contemptible people used Tang Xiaoyou (Tang Ruowang) and Sun Yuanzheng's newly made big cannon to shoot only two flowering shells, and these dozens of pigs were all killed, and then the contemptible people ordered people to shoot twice in a row, and the big cannon didn't explode! It seems that the more advanced seal letter that His Majesty said has been made by the contemptible people! ”

Sun Yuanhua and Bi Mao Kanglian said congratulations, because it meant that he Song Yingxing would receive another five hundred taels of bonuses, and his subordinate officials and craftsmen would also receive rewards ranging from two hundred taels to one hundred taels.

However, Song Yingxing, who didn't even cherish the glass equipment given by His Majesty, didn't take any bonuses in his eyes, and after months of hard work, he finally achieved something, and he couldn't wait to take the two of them to see his latest development bomb.

Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua walked to take a look, but there were wooden pipes with openings at one or two ends, and the woodpipes were filled with the newly prepared slow-burning gunpowder prepared by Sun Yuanhua's experimental group, and there were symbols on it that only Song Yingxing and his team members knew, and there was also a red-hot iron box next to it.

The two of them didn't understand what the principle of this thing he had concocted, and when they wanted to ask carefully, Song Yingxing also prevaricated on the grounds that the matter was confidential and could only be known by His Majesty alone.

But Song Yingxing still sighed and said: "It's a pity that we can only use the big cannon, and when we fired the sixth time, we still blew up." ”

Looking at the dead pigs all over the ground, Bi Maokang hurriedly comforted: "It's already amazing, I can give your majesty good news." “

Sun Yuanhua picked up a piece of iron from the barrel of the cannon after the explosion and said: "It's still a difficult problem to leave to Sun, but Brother Song, do you have to slaughter the dead pigs all over the ground immediately, please have a good meal." “

"Let's find someone to carry it down to clean and stew, there are dozens of heads, we estimate that we can't finish eating, and we plan to send some to the barracks, it just so happens that Gonggong Liu of the Imperial Horse Prison has been looking for butchers all over the city to buy meat these days."

Song Yingxing was talking, and a small yellow door came running over and said: "Song Yingxing, Your Majesty has something to ask, ask how your steel smelting is going, I don't want to rely on the blacksmiths all the time, besides, has the blossoms popped up, if not, put the other experiments first." ”

"Please tell Your Majesty that the flowering bomb has an effect, but what Your Majesty said about the small blast furnace, Wechen has not yet made an effect, what reducing agent and dynamic equilibrium, Wechen still don't understand, and I want to ask Your Majesty to take the time to tell Wechen."
