Although it is impossible for Lu Hong to solve these problems of black-headed torpedoes now, his explanation of some principles of black-headed torpedoes and Howell torpedoes can be described as extremely incisive, and the analysis of the reasons for this is also meticulous.

As the commander of the left-wing torpedo boat of the Beiyang Naval Division, Cai Tinggan naturally had a deep understanding of the tricks in the army, and the naval division greeted the target shooting training of the court officers several times, and in order to ensure success, the target ships were all ready, and what those officers saw was the earth-shattering explosion of the target ship, in fact, it was all pre-arranged explosives.

In real combat, even those rapid-fire Haggais machine guns can beat the wooden-hulled torpedo boat to jump, and if it hits the flowering shell, the torpedo boat with a small tonnage may sink all at once, in this regard, he is consistent with Lu Hong's point of view, under this pattern, the torpedo boat should mainly fight at night, and the night is the best cover for the torpedo boat to seal the throat of the sword, but ...... It's easy to say, but it's definitely difficult in wartime.

After some discussion, Tang Wenjin was obviously also very interested, and pulled Lu Hong to go to the side of the restaurant to talk...... And just as they were leaving, Huang Tifang and Zhang Peilun happened to come out of the mansion and saw Lu Hong talking hotly with a group of Beiyang Navy Division officers wearing Wuyun suits from a distance, which made Zhang Peilun somewhat surprised......

However, Huang Tifang explained for himself, "Youqiao, when Lu Hong was on a study tour, I heard that he had also studied at the Taixi Military Academy, and he had learned a lot of things, and he had a very happy conversation with the officers of these sailors on the ship!" ”

These words made Zhang Peilun seem to be a little more curious about this young man, but his top priority now is obviously not to pay attention to Lu Hong, the current Qing Dynasty, in his opinion, can maintain the important task of the prosperous world, only Li Zhongtang and these important ministers, since there are signs of crisis, he must carefully consider how to report to Zhongtang.

Lu Hong did not return to Xu Shouchang's mansion until late at night, but met Wu Shengxi who was reading at night outside the guest room, this diligent man had no interest in entertainment, but he seemed to have the same interest in the new policy as his uncle Wu Daxuan, and he has been studying Zheng Guanying's "The Danger of the Prosperous Age" in the past few days, and this book talks more about various political systems and institutional changes in the West, and Lu Hong is a living dictionary on this point.

Wu Shengxi can be described as a standard Chinese reader, pulling Lu Hong to discuss the various arguments in the book, and even began to discuss the possible surnames of China's implementation of the Western system, and the result was naturally Lu Hong poured cold water on it...... How could the Ming Cook Parliament be held under the Chinese imperial system, and that country has had China's feudal and deep-rooted traditional ideas that have lasted for thousands of years.

Wu Shengxi was unimpressed by Lu Hong's cold water, and listened carefully to the history of the French Revolution introduced by Lu Hong, and the continuous restoration and republican made him leave thoughtfully.

At noon two days later, Lu Hong probed out of a carriage, traveled through more than 100 years, and finally saw a place he was familiar with, the Zhenhai Chongwen iron turtle with the surname of Chongwen Gate was still lying there as always, and the bustling flow of people in and out of Beijing actually had a bit of the prosperity of New China in later generations, of course, he didn't know that this Chongwen Gate was the busiest city gate for people and freight in Yanjing.

However, under this scene of prosperous trade, a discordant picture is revealed in front of Chongwen Gate, which is divided into nine inner and outer seven imperial city four, and the seven outer city gates are guarded by the patrol battalion under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and this has become the way for the children of the Eight Banners of Gyeonggi to make money.

Lu Hong looked at it, all the trucks that came and went were all taken care of without exception, and groups of sloppy soldiers of the Eight Banners with sloppy uniforms put their braids on their heads at will, holding waist knives and spears in their hands, and went to the various trucks lined up at the city gate one by one to look for trouble, but it was obvious that this had already been the practice of Yanjing City, except for a few foreign trucks, those shopkeepers and men who accompanied the cars all stuffed the filial piety money and silver into the hands of the officials with a smile on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Wu Shengxi, who was reading hard with a book on the side, was quite touched, and muttered in his mouth, "Under the prosperous world, the small night is a disaster!" ”

This was immediately refuted by Qin Tianmin next to him, "Wu Gongzi, I'm afraid you don't know, I've heard that this Chongwenmen wine car, Xizhimen water truck, Chaoyangmen grain car, and Xuanwumen prisoner car, these are all ways for the Eight Banners Army to make a living in the Jingshi Division, that is, the water truck that sent Xishan Qingquan for the Empress Dowager of the Imperial City, so you have to pay for the road as usual!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Hong also rolled his eyes, and the old demon queen of the West Palace, who was pointed out by Wanfu in later generations, even allowed the people below to collect the money for the purchase of their waterwheels, which shows that the entire parasitic system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is already the foundation of this decadent empire, and no one can shake it...... This finally decides that the only choice is to change the world, and this time I entered Beijing, but the future is uncertain, after all, whether it can succeed, even if I have made full preparations, but after all, this decision is not in my own hands!

Just as he was pondering, the group of Eight Banners walked in front of the carriage with a smile on their faces, obviously gaining a lot, and the leader of the Eight Banners officer had yellow teeth and high raised cheekbones, although he looked energetic at this moment, but he was obviously a big smoker, and the other flag soldiers were all hooligans, except for the sloppy military uniform, there was no trace of the army......

Huang Tifang was transferred to the right inspector of the Imperial History of the Imperial Procuratorate this time, which is a powerful position among the officials in the court, and holds part of the mouthpiece of the court, which is also the Qingliu boss Weng Tongyi and Li Hongzao to strengthen the Qingliu faction's voice in the court, but just entered Yanjing, obviously Huang Tifang was also busy with the delivery of the officials, and Lu Hong and several of them were arranged into the Huang family's old mansion in Chaoyangmen.

After settling down, Wu Shengxi came to greet Lu Hong, "Brother Lu, I have already booked a carriage to go to Liulichang, will you go with me?" ”

Liulichang ...... Lu Hong also rolled his eyes when he heard it, listening to the noun, it should be Yanjing's glass factory, but it seems that the glass of this era is also used as bottles and jars, does this guy want to buy these things...... However, he immediately noticed that Qin Tianmin next to him seemed to be full of interest, and immediately realized that he might have made a mistake!

On the same day, Wu Shengxi and Qin Tianmin pulled Lu Hong and ran to the nearby Yanjing Liulichang bookstore street, but Lu Hong really appreciated the influence of the imperial examination in Yanjing.

And Wu Shengxi's guy didn't hesitate to get into the Shanxi hall, and then started to talk about the scriptures with a group of Shanxi scholars inside, but Qin Tianmin's guy only had the fame of a young man, after all, he went to Beijing to take the exam, and he had to get the fame of the existing people, in contrast, he was not embarrassed to go to the Shandong people's hall, so he accompanied Lu Hong around.

In this bookstore, he easily found a lot of foreign basic education books translated by the Shanghai Translation Agency, such as "Algebraic Calculus", "Relearning", "Talking about the Sky", "Number Theory" and other important academic books...... This shows that in the past 30 years of Westernization, the Chinese people have made progress in learning Western science.

When he wandered to the east of the Shanxi Guild Hall, a bookstore called "Xian Wenge", in addition to a dazzling array of books, several long boxes messily placed in a corner of the table attracted Lu Hong's attention, because in the open box, he saw several things that were suspected to be fountain pens...... And that box is obviously quite ancient Chinese, which is a bit out of place.

The guy on the side had already stared at the guests who came in, and when he saw Lu Hong looking at the boxes, he immediately came up to talk, "This master, this is a hard pen from a foreign company, it is very well-made, it is said that the celebrities of Europa use this thing to write...... However, we Chinese all came to play calligraphy, and the treasurer bought a few pieces, but they were not sold! ”

Lu Hong took the so-called Europa hard pen from the man's hand, and found that the overall appearance of this thing is almost a pen of later generations, the only problem is that the part of this pen used to store ink is a sponge-like thing, the guy introduced, after writing for a while, you have to add ink with a special dropper!

Fully considering the pain of drawing with a brush, he did not hesitate to buy a few of these French-made Wardiman fountain pens, and then, the guy obviously found a business opportunity, and sold him a bunch of pencils, these things in hand, so that Lu Hong finally felt a little back to the modern atmosphere.

In the evening, just as Lu Hong was holding a pencil to carefully draw several types of elementary mechanical drawings that had been trial-produced in Mengyin, the voices of Qin Tianmin and Huang Tifang were heard outside, and after a while, Huang Tifang walked in with a serious face.
