With the gradual understanding of the current prices, Li Hui, who had a comparison, soon found how cheap the system was. Taking the short-flowered bullets that Tianjin Machinery Bureau can produce as an example, even if it is priced in gold, the cost of the system is only a fraction of the manufacturing cost of Tianjin Machinery Bureau, and if it is priced in silver, it is not even one-twentieth, and with the gradual completion of the science and technology tree, this price should still have a lot of room to fall. Therefore, as long as this business can be completed now, even if it is sold at the current cost price of Western military enterprises, Li Hui will be able to make five or six times the huge profit

Li Hui definitely can't do this alone, he can't move a slightly larger shell, and if he hires someone to help, it is easy to arouse suspicion, and when the system product is realized, there can be no outsiders present, which is a bit troublesome. Fortunately, Li Hui can recruit some biochemical soldiers from the system to help, but considering the traffic conditions at the end of the nineteenth century, this matter is still in a hurry for the time being, if Li Hui has just mentioned this matter, people will immediately prepare enough goods to come, really think that everyone else is an idiot!

Therefore, this matter can only be put aside for the time being, but in the few months of "waiting", Li Hui does not plan to be idle, "I still need an adult who is proficient in business and proficient in English to translate naval terminology with me, I wonder which adult is willing to help me?" ”

can serve as the main warship in the Beiyang Naval Division, the English level is not bad, and this credit is definitely not small, and if it is done well, it will go down in history, so naturally everyone is enthusiastic, and even Ding Ruchang, the sailor who has taught himself English over the years and has a considerable level, is also eager to try. But at this time, a candidate recommended by Liu Buyun made everyone present take the initiative to choose to give up

However, Admiral Ding Ruchang, who was unwilling to give up this opportunity, still questioned, "Yan Jidao's knowledge is naturally speechless, but now that he is the general office of the (Beiyang) Sailor Academy, how can he spare so much effort?" ”

Liu Buyun, who knew Yan Fu very well with his old friend, shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't we people have a position?" Yan Fu, the general manager of the Sailor Academy, is usually much more idle than us, and I believe that he will definitely be very interested in this work, as long as he sends out an invitation, even if he has to resign from his official position, he will definitely come! ”

Due to the influence of Westernization, modern celebrities are more likely to be directly recorded in historical books by name, and the frequency of mentioning table characters is far less than that of the ancients. So much so that although Li Hui was very familiar with this period of history, it actually took a while to think of who they were talking about "Yan Jidao", and he was overjoyed, "It turned out that it was Yan Fu who translated "The Theory of Heavenly Evolution" 'later', and with his help, this work will definitely be completed faster and better!" ”

Sure enough, as Liu Buyun said, Yan Fu rushed over immediately after hearing the news, but this historical celebrity is really not very good now, obviously he is not yet forty years old, but he looks much older than the older Liu Buyun, and there is a faint twilight, which is very different from Liu Buyun's flying spirit.

"It's not just the reason for exhaustion, it should also have something to do with the poisoning of opium, on the one hand, it is impossible to find a way out of the country, on the other hand, it is impossible to reuse it because of its own talents, and it is not used to the dark Manchu officialdom, and with the weakness of the literati, it can only rely on drugs to anesthetize itself", Li Hui is very clear about the real reason for Yan Fuxian's old age, and he also has the heart to persuade this great talent to quit his bad habits, but thinking that the two have no friendship now, he finally decided to start with the main thing, and talk about quitting smoking after the two are acquainted. Anyway, it's been poisoned for so long, and it's not bad for so many days

"This is the name of the bomb you translated, Dongyang? No, this is not a translation! Yan Fu was a top student at the Royal Naval Academy in Greenwich, London, England, and then worked in naval education for a long time.

Li Hui spread his hands and replied a little helplessly, "Because the current classification of Western navies is not reasonable, I can only reclassify it, what do Mr. Dao think of the naming principles I have formulated?" ”

"A shell completely devoid of charge is called a solid shell; Shells that are filled with explosives and have a certain armor-piercing ability and can be detonated after penetrating armor are called armor-piercing shells, including old-fashioned armor-piercing shells that are not equipped with a fuse and detonate by the self-detonation effect of the charge, and new armor-piercing shells equipped with a new type of projectile bottom delay fuse; The type of ammunition with a large charge, which relies on the instantaneous fuse to detonate, and mainly relies on the explosive power of the charge to cause damage to the unprotected parts of the enemy ship is called a blasting bomb (the name of the high-explosive bomb, which Li Hui himself is more accustomed to, did not appear at that time, so he continued to use the existing "blasting bomb" at that time, and the meaning was the same anyway. There are two types of instantaneous fuzes: warhead fuzes and bottom instantaneous fuzes; The type of ammunition that mainly relies on shrapnel to kill enemy personnel is called shrapnel and is mainly used for small and medium-caliber artillery. In addition, considering that the material of the projectile body also has a great impact on the elastic performance of the gun, the one that uses the cast iron projectile body is called the cast iron projectile, and the one that uses the steel projectile body is called the steel projectile, as a prefix", Yan Fu patiently read the first draft drafted by Li Hui, and immediately exclaimed, "Dongyang is really talented, I might as well too!" Not confined to the division of Westerners, they have their own opinions; The name matches the facts, the definition is precise, it is written in the vernacular, it is easy to understand, even if you are illiterate, it is not difficult to understand, just like the poems of Bai Lotian. Alas, I now finally understand why the sailors preferred to learn English passwords rather than use the Chinese passwords I translated."

Li Hui smiled when he heard this, and confessed unabashedly, "Actually, I don't know Chinese, I can only write in vernacular." ”

"With Dongyang's cleverness, this language shouldn't be difficult to learn?" , Yan Fu was naturally extremely surprised.

Li Hui smiled indifferently, "It takes too much time to learn literary language, and you can't be proficient in a few years, and it's not a knowledge that you have to learn, you just need to understand it, and you don't need to be able to write." ”

"How can you not learn classical Chinese? If you can't write Chinese, you can't even write official documents. Yan Fu, who already had some good feelings for Li Hui, immediately persuaded with concern, but as soon as the words came out, his heart was like a lightning bolt across the night sky, and he instantly understood
