"Quick! Fast! Notify the Arsenal Medical Center as soon as possible! ”

In the face of the sudden explosion, Zhu Jian was unusually calm, and he was busy calling the chief to summon the medical office of the arsenal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, it is said that Zhu Jian's reform of the Imperial Tai Hospital into the first hospital of the empire, the establishment of a medical school, and the establishment of medical centers in key departments in Beijing, and the establishment of medical units in the new army of the Beijing camp, such as Longhu, Huwei, artillery, and engineers, but although the medical soldiers in the army are dispatched by the first hospital of the empire, they belong to the Ministry of War.

After making a series of arrangements, Zhu Jian led everyone in the direction of the source of the explosion.

At this moment, because of the sudden explosion, a large number of people had already gathered at the explosion point, including not only workers, but also students in the front hall.

Seeing this, Zhu Jian frowned slightly, the situation was unknown, so many people gathered in one place would inevitably affect the rescue work, and even cause unnecessary losses.

"Come on, quickly disperse the irrelevant people!"

In response to the emperor's order, the accompanying Jinyi guards and the soldiers of the arsenal defense battalion dispersed the onlookers, and then formed a protective circle around the explosion point.

When Zhu Jian walked in, he found that what he was looking for at this moment had already become a ruin.

"Where is this?"

Zhu Jian frowned slightly, but asked.

"This is the Arsenal Chemical Laboratory."

"What? Fast! Hurry up and save people from the rubble! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jian was shocked, because the previous director said that Bi Maokang, the director of the arsenal, was in the laboratory!

And just when Zhu Jian was a little anxious in his heart, he saw that there was some loosening in the ruins, and then two big men covered with flying dust appeared in front of everyone.

"Help! Help! ”

In the face of this 'big guy', Yang Sichang, the first assistant of the cabinet who came with Zhu Jian, was busy.

In response to this shout from the first assistant of the cabinet, the guards immediately guarded Zhu Jian in the circle in an orderly manner, with the fire gun facing outward, and the blade shining with cold light was ready to deal with any threat from the ruins at any time!

Seeing this, Zhu Jian frowned slightly.

"No firing, wait and see!"

"Whoa, whoa~~~"

And at this moment, I saw that between the two steel giants collapsing, there were two gray-faced people.

"Old Tang, this time it's really a narrow escape!"

"That's, that's, Lao Bi, I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful!"

The two are none other than Bi Maokang and John Tang.

To say that the 'big guy' that the two of them were wearing was the protective clothing set up by John Tang using cotton cloth and cast iron, but this thing weighed forty or fifty pounds, although it was not very convenient to wear on the body, but if there was no such thing here, I am afraid that the two of them had already gone to heaven and met Jesus!

But the two of you say a word, I say a word, for Tang Ruowang, he found that there was a pain in his body, it turned out that the previous explosion was a shock to the leg bones a little dislocated, I didn't notice it before, but when I took off the protective clothing, I felt a lot of pain.

"Quick! The medical team is up! ”

At this moment, the medical team of the Ordnance Institute had already stepped forward to check on the two, because Tang Ruowang's legs and feet were a little broken, but they were immediately lifted up and transported to the medical center for treatment, as for Bi Maokang, he only suffered a little abrasion, so after using high alcohol to kill the virus, it was not very bad.

At this moment, Bi Maokang found out that the emperor had been waiting for a long time, but he took off his protective clothing and immediately stepped forward to salute, but was stopped by Zhu Jian.

"Meng Hou, are you okay?"

Facing the concern from the emperor, Bi Maokang shook his head and said.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, thank Your Majesty for your blessings, but the minister is fine, hey, it's just a pity that this new chemical research laboratory!"

For Bi Maokang's sigh, Zhu Jian said with a smile.

"Meng Hou and Mr. Tang are unharmed, but it is a blessing, what a laboratory! Meng Hou, I will give you 10,000 taels of silver to rebuild the laboratory! ”

In the face of the emperor's generosity, Bi Maokang was busy.

"Your Majesty, more, more! Five thousand taels is enough! ”

For Bi Maokang's words, it caused a burst of laughter.

"By the way, Meng Hou, why did it suddenly explode here?"

Faced with the emperor's question, Bi Maokang here had a gleam in his eyes, and he was a little excited.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty gave you the recipe before, but the minister and Mr. Tang got it!"

For this result, Zhu Jian was also a little excited.

"Meng Hou, are you saying that the thunder mercury has been made?!"

Mercury in thunder has always been an important component of detonator charges and fire cap firing charges. When Zhu Jian explained the idea of thunder mercury and part of the conjecture of the formula to Bi Maokang, he never expected that in just one month, Bi Maokang actually developed this thunder mercury.

Once the thunder mercury is developed, it means that the ignition device of the lightning mercury firing charge is used, and the fire cap is put on the anvil with a fire door, and the new firearm - the blaster gun can ignite the gunpowder in the chamber by striking the fire cap, which will become a new standard weapon of the empire!

"Meng Hou, I have 200,000 taels of silver with you, further research and development is urgent, and I have customized a complete set of workshop tools for you from the Royal Machinery Bureau, but your arsenal needs further expansion!"

But said that the invention of thunder mercury gave Zhu Jian hope, maybe in the near future, what 'made in Hanyang', 'Wang Ba box' and a series of rear-loading firing guns will be equipped with the entire army of the Ming Dynasty, after all, with thunder mercury, the problem of primer fire can naturally be solved, as for the cartridge shell technology, with the development of workshop technology, everything will become possible, and what is needed is only a matter of time.

It was not too early to return to the palace from the arsenal, but for Zhu Jian, the day's hard work was not over, because at this moment, people from Dengzhou had been waiting for a long time.

"Weichen was ordered to enter Beijing, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Alright, get up! Lee-sama! ”

At this moment, Zhu Jianzheng was staring at the person in front of him, this person's name was Li Heyi, the word Qianyuan, and he was a little-known person in the official history.

Saying that he is a small person, but it can only be said to be a tragedy of this era, Li Heyi is a native of Dengzhou, and his ancestors are the leaders of Dengzhou Shipyard, when Zheng He went to the West seven times, the ancestor of the Li family was once involved in the manufacture of the 'treasure ship', but since the sea ban, this manufacturing technology is naturally gradually declining.

Even if the later Longqing switch, this Ming ship, it is not as brilliant as it was in the past.

But Zhu Jian knows that this Li Heyi is a capable person, not only has ancestral craftsmanship, but also has his own unique opinions, when Oda Nobunaga was wearing a layer of iron armor on a battleship in the Japanese peach soil era, and occasionally heard about it, this Li Heyi was very appreciative of this matter.

With the increasing prosperity of artillery in naval warfare, the protective function of warships has become increasingly important, so Li Heyi also put forward the idea of building ironclad warships.

It's just that such an idea will naturally not be understood by the people of the time, after all, to let a big man of steel float on the sea, in the eyes of the people of the time, it is simply a wild talk.

But for Zhu Jian, nothing is impossible, after hearing about this by chance, Zhu Jian appointed Li Heyi as the director of Dengzhou Shipyard, and instructed him to draw all the design drawings before coming to Beijing to discuss the next move.

And now this Li Heyi is coming with design drawings.

"Qianyuan, the ironclad battleship is huge, but I don't know what to use as power?"

Power is extremely important for warships, and manpower has always been the only source of power.

Of course, for Li Heyi, it is also inseparable, but Zhu Jian has a better choice in his heart.

Steam engine!

The successful development of the [Qiming] steam engine means that the new ironclad battleship will usher in a new era of sailing!
