The dinner is set up in the auditorium of the School of Physics, the chef is the imperial chef who comes directly from the imperial dining room, the wine is the imperial wine stored in the Ouchi cellar, and there are even songs and dances, and the dancing girls are directly from the palace.

The hundreds of students and teachers in the School of Physics and the School of Chemistry never dreamed that they would receive such a grand reception, and they were all stunned for a while, and they didn't know why Li Guanqi did this.

Sitting in the front position, an old man who looked a little bit like a fairy wind and bones was Gao Tiangong, the chief teacher of the School of Physics specially invited by Li Guanqi. The old man has been studying various organs all his life, and has made great achievements, and what is even more rare is that he has also summed up a lot of theoretical knowledge and compiled it into a book.

Gao Tiangong was squinting slightly at this time, secretly guessing Li Guanqi's intentions. He is not the kind of person who only knows how to study and does not know the sophistication of people, he naturally understands the truth of "courtesy to others, there must be something to ask", Li Guanqi, as the emperor, actually treats his own people like this, there must be something to ask everyone for help.

In fact, Gao Tiangong has already completely tied his heart to Li Guanqi's body, not because Li Guanqi is the emperor, nor because Li Guanqi gives him high treatment, but because this Jinling University has really recognized the arithmetic, physics and other things that he usually likes.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, when everyone was a little drunk, Li Guanqi signaled all the service staff to retreat, and then stood up and said loudly: "Are you willing to serve the country?" ”

"Serving the court and serving the emperor is my life's wish!"

"What the headmaster commands, let it be! Students don't dare to disobey! ”

All the teachers and students scrambled to show their loyalty.

Li Guanqi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay!" You are all the pillars of the country, and I have one thing that you need to do now, and if you can accomplish this, I will not skimp on rewarding you. Whether it is a wife or a son, or a grace and an ancestor, it is not difficult. ”

Gao Tiangong smiled and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty wants us to do?" He said this to everyone's heart.

"It's very simple, to assist the blacksmiths and armorers of the Ordnance Research Institute to increase the production and quality of steel and reduce the cost of producing steel; Research more powerful gunpowder and realize large-scale production of gunpowder. Research on improved firearms. "What Li Guanqi said is actually not simple.

"This is not obligatory, but anyone who participates in the research will be guilty of a capital offense if they leak secrets, especially the gunpowder formula. Everyone has to think it through. Li Guanqi said sternly.

Many of the students in the room didn't know what firearms were, and some didn't even know about gunpowder, and many of them didn't understand what the inevitable connection between these and serving the country was, so everyone was eager to serve the court and the emperor as soon as possible. But it's still confusing.

Zhao Zheng looked at the blank eyes below, knowing that none of these people understood what Li Guanqi meant, so he got up and added: "Once the powerful firearms are successfully studied, the Eastern and Western Turks and Tibetans will be destroyed in the near future, and you will all be heroes of the country." In fact, he didn't believe it himself.

The Great Qian's achievements against the Eastern and Western Turks and the Tibetan military powers have always been an unspeakable pain, so these hot-blooded young people all fantasized that the army of the Great Qian's Dynasty could completely defeat the Turkic cavalry on the battlefield.

Therefore, the effect of Zhao Zheng's words is more than the reward. Much more useful. Because these students who came to Jinling University to study physics and chemistry are basically the children of rich or powerful families. They all come to learn these miscellaneous studies in the eyes of others out of interest, and they don't mean that they don't care about the reward, but they don't care very much.

Immediately, many students said yes. But there are also some students who said apologetically: "Soldiers and murder weapons, we are scholars, shouldn't we study the art of killing!" ”

For these people. Li Guanqi was not angry, he knew that these people might want to become real scientists, and he didn't want real scientists to become tools under his own ruler, so he just nodded lightly and said, "I said at the beginning that this matter is voluntary. Never force it. ”

Gao Tiangong was full of interest in gunpowder, firearms, ironmaking, and steelmaking, so he was determined to participate, so he said with a smile: "I am also a courtier of Your Majesty now, so I naturally want to share your worries for Your Majesty, and I will definitely participate in this matter." ”

Those students and teachers expressed their positions one by one, either participating or not participating. Li Guanqi took a look, there were more than 100 students willing to join, and he was considered to have achieved his goal, so he said with a smile: "In the future, these participating students and teachers will still attend classes in the academy, but if there is no class time, they will go to the Armor Research Institute, where there are confidential information, there will be military guards, others are not allowed to enter, and there will be carriages to pick everyone up every day." All those who enter the Armor Research Institute can receive the corresponding salary. Students who want to enter in the future will have to go through a rigorous examination. ”

Looking at these newly joined forces, Li Guanqi's heart was already full of joy, the current armor research institute, not only the best blacksmiths and weapons craftsmen in Daqian, but also top talents such as Zhao Zheng and Gao Tiangong, as well as these academic elites, plus his own tips from the future in the direction of the general development -- although he knows nothing about steelmaking and firearms, but it is still possible to help them avoid detours -- if in this state, these people will not be able to make achievements, Li Guanqi should really scold his mother.

Zhao Zheng's state of mind at this time is actually different from others, he is a person who has participated in the construction of the Armor Research Institute from beginning to end, and he knows very well how much money the Armor Research Institute is a place that burns money, and all this money is paid by Li Guanqi, the emperor, without using the treasury at all. Therefore, while lamenting that Li Guanqi is a rare master, he also secretly made up his mind in his heart to develop something that satisfies Li Guanqi as soon as possible.

What made Li Guanqi a little frustrated was that in the beginning of a period of time, these students knew much less than those craftsmen, but he didn't have any good tricks, and he still had to go through the process that he needed to go through, and he knew the consequences of pulling seedlings to help him.

During this time, Li Guanqi was also constantly digging for any knowledge in his brain that would help with gunpowder and steelmaking. However, as a liberal arts student, he really didn't know much about this aspect, so he could only reluctantly tell Zhao Zheng, Gao Tiangong and others about the general concepts of blast furnace ironmaking, open-hearth steelmaking, blowers, waterwheels, lathes, black powder and yellow gunpowder, hoping that they could turn these things in their memories into reality.
