There is no doubt that black powder was first invented by the Chinese, and the earliest tubular firearm is generally believed to be a "musket" made of giant bamboo when guarding De'an in the third year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1132), which is the earliest known example of the use of tubular firearms in the world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In 1259 A.D., Shouchun Mansion (now Shou County, Anhui) made a "sudden fire gun" that fired "Zi Yao", this gun was made of a large bamboo tube, filled with gunpowder, and also installed "Zi Yao", ignited gunpowder during the battle, and used the force generated after the gunpowder burned to shoot out "Zi Yao".

In the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, this kind of tubular firearm was changed from bamboo to metal, and it was called "gun".

Well, you might want to ask.

When did the Westerners know about gunpowder and modify it to the next level?

It is believed that the Mongol conquest brought gunpowder to Arabia and then to the West. The appearance of artillery in the West is believed to have occurred between 1250 and 1275 AD in the Moorish kingdoms of North Africa and Spain, which is also a circumstantial evidence of the introduction of gunpowder to the West by the Arabs.

That is, among Genghis Khan's troops, there were a small number of firearm troops, and when they attacked Western countries, they were brought along the way for foreigners to learn.

After Zhu Yuanzhang unified China, firearms developed greatly in the early Ming Dynasty, ranking in the leading position in the world. But after orthodoxy, one by the dry inheritance of the peace, did not develop. the urgent need for firearms; One is that the ruling class is "afraid of leaking the rumors" and is blockaded.

In the sixth year of orthodoxy, the border generals Huang Zhen and Yang Hongli were placed in the Xuanfu monolith. The emperor made firearms externally, fearing that the transmission of habits would leak and stop it. ("History of the Ming Dynasty", Volume 92, "Bingzhi IV"), so the development of firearms is basically in a state of stagnation.

However, because I have been afraid of Mongolia, I am afraid of the more and more perverted foreigners in Asia.

Under pressure, there are not so many restrictions on oneself. Instead, the back waves of the Yangtze River began to push the front waves, and they worked hard secretly!

As a result, firearms have developed rapidly on the side of foreigners. By the Jiajing period, the Chinese had to learn from the West.

After the 17th century, the quality of Western artillery was greatly improved, and the types of firearms developed in the direction of standardization, and began to distinguish artillery into siege artillery, field artillery, and coastal defense artillery according to combat use.

All these guns had lugs, sights, and fired ammunition according to mathematical calculations. Europeans began to absorb and create all kinds of new guns. At that time, the world's most advanced artillery appeared in the West.

That is, it was not until the middle and late sixteenth century that the Ming Dynasty in the Jiajing-Wanli period had light field artillery, which was equivalent to the Burgundian level of the fifteenth century, and was about a hundred years behind the level of European development. (That's it, when the Ming Dynasty was backward, it was forbidden to study for decades, because the Wanli Emperor ignored the rising sun and allowed the civil officials to become bigger.) ）

This incident is a confirmation of what later generations said, the sea of learning is boundless, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you fall behind, you will cheat your father.

At the end of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty, which interrupted the study of firearms, again transported more than 20 artillery pieces from the British shipwreck along the coast of Guangdong to Beijing. At that time, this cannon was named "Hongyi Cannon"!

Later, under the leadership of Xu Guangqi and others, the Ming court purchased the first batch of Hongyi cannons from the Portuguese authorities in Macao during the Apocalypse, and hired Portuguese soldiers to train gunners to fight, and at the same time began to imitate casting.

However, the siege artillery and field artillery developed in the West at that time were not known to the Ming Dynasty and could not be imitated. Therefore, in many battles in Liaodong at the end of the Ming Dynasty: although the Ming army had Hongyi artillery, it could not effectively suppress the brave rush of the Qing army.

Until, now the arrival of Zhu Zilong.

Time passed, and this time Zhu Zilong was dealing with military affairs in Shandong and making several plans for the country.

For a while, unconsciously, more than three months, almost four months have not returned to the modern 21st century.

Considering that I have to prepare more high-yield modern seeds for future natural disasters, and see if I can buy something special from modern times. In recent days, he has begun to think about choosing a date to go back to modern times again!

Why think about the right day to return to the modern 21st century?

The reason is very simple, because Zhu Zilong is fascinated by how much he can be Superman over there in the modern era. This feeling of being a superhero will be intoxicated by as long as it is a man.

However, superheroes are not so easy to play.

In order to be safe, among other things, Zhu Zilong thought that he had to learn some more sophisticated makeup techniques.

For example, recently he saw that there was a book of bone shrinking makeup kung fu in the palace cheats, and he felt that it was very suitable for him, so he was practicing this hard.

Bone shrinking is not really shrinking the bones, but using internal qi and internal power to narrow the gap between the bones, and the bones of the whole body are stacked tightly in order, and the human body is naturally smaller, so it is more accurate to call it the shrinking method.

It is a kind of Shaolin martial arts, practiced to a high depth, can locally change the appearance and body type, free at will.

That's it, of course, not enough.

Therefore, Zhu Zilong decided that after returning to the modern 21st century, he would secretly ask people to buy some high-end human skin masks through special channels. Learn the Ming Dynasty and modern disguise techniques and create your own one to the next level!

In some novels or movies, there are often descriptions of transfiguration, often turning into the appearance of another person, which is not completely real, it is possible for a person to become the appearance of another person, but it is impossible in a short period of time, and it requires the full cooperation of the person being disguised.

And in the Hereafter.

Science can create many miracles, and today, the ancient theory of disguise is no longer a rare thing, it has become a specialized technology, also known as "plastic makeup".

What Zhu Zilong wants to do is to have a super fusion and join forces.

That night, Zhu Zilong finally succeeded in learning.

Bone shrinkage is time-limited, and over time, it can cause damage to internal organs. However, with Zhu Zilong's physique and ability, he felt that he was shrinking his bones, as if he was only changing his partial appearance.

It should be possible to control this time for ten days and half a month!

Next, Zhu Zilong thought of the makeup ability of changing skin tone.

In the modern 21st century, skin bleaching is nothing of a mystery. Moreover, the principle is also simple, Zhu Zilong knows it.

Most of the so-called "bleach" are highly toxic, the most toxic ingredient is mercury (mercury), and the principle of bleaching is to sink the melanin in the epidermis to the dermis, not to make the melanin disappear.

So, whitening is only a superficial phenomenon. The short-term effect is significant!

Soon, Zhu Zilong found a substitute and made a low-toxicity bleaching drug.

He experimented and found it to work really well.

In just a few seconds, the skin on the back of the hand with the whitening solution turned white, which contrasted strongly with the surrounding skin tone. For the small amount of toxicity inside, Zhu Zilong is not afraid, his detoxification function is very strong, and his physique is against the sky.

And if you want to make yourself dark-skinned, Jing Ran can also use this drug.

The principle is also simple, if you continue to bleach and increase the dosage of this drug, it will sink the natural melanin in human skin. When the accumulation of melanin reaches a certain level, it will turn black, making the skin darker than before.

As long as Zhu Zilong speeds up his metabolism, he can reach a few minutes later, his skin changes from very white to the other extreme, very dark.

At this point, the bone shrinking skill that changes the appearance can be turned into white skin or black skin, and the makeup potion that hides that you are a yellow-skinned person. Even if you don't use the human skin mask of the 21st century, Zhu Zilong can now become another person in an instant.

If there is a 21st century human skin and cosmetics to help, I am afraid that it is really anyone, and it is unlikely that he will recognize his true face.

Well, in this way, his superhero dream will be more and more secure!
