Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Zhu Xi and his entourage first visited industry and then agriculture in the Special Economic Zone, and after the visit, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the Special Economic Zone has only been established for more than a year, and they never imagined that the exhibition would be so fast.

This era is the era of Zhu Xi's influence on the world, but when he arrived in the Special Economic Zone, Zhu Xi has not had the opportunity to exert his due influence for the time being.

Lao Qiu came to Mao Geng's office in a hurry, and it happened that Teacher Qian Airu and He Chi'an were also there.

Seeing Lao Qiu's excited face, Qian Airu asked:

"How? What was the reaction of Zhu Xi's gang? ”

Lao Qiu smiled:

"Hehe, the old master Zhu Xi studied the carriage for a long time, I talked to him for a long time, and finally I couldn't bear it, and even the matter of the pneumatic tire broke with the old master. I think the vehicle industry of the Great Song Dynasty is promising, food, clothing, housing and transportation, the travel problem is a big problem, the two-wheeled carriage ride performance of this era is too bad, the four-wheeled carriage industry should have a great future, think about the automobile industry in later generations, this is a large industry of tens of millions of levels! ”

"Shipbuilding is still preferred, and you can get on the railway in a few years, and the four-wheeled carriage is a transition after all, and the railway is the king."

He Chi'an insisted on his point of view, and it has been discussed many times that the priority of the shipbuilding industry is undisputed, and there are opinions on the four-wheeled carriage and the railway. In the three-year plan, the railway came last, and that was because it was considered that there was no such condition for the time being.

Mao Geng didn't want to engage in pointless arguments, so he said:

"Zhu Xi looked at the sweet potato, what did he feel?"

Lao Qiu Mei said with a smile:

"The old master is very happy, listen to me say that sweet potatoes will be able to produce one or two thousand catties per mu in the future, that is sincerely happy! The old master also specially ate half of the sweet potato, which was even called delicious. Then he told me about the unsuccessful attempt to measure the land, hehe, the old master is really serious! I also told him that there is more land in Hokkaido, so the old master lamented that there are many people and little land in Fujian, and there are many obstacles to measuring the land. To tell the truth, Zhu Xi, the old master, really has his political ideals, sets up a social warehouse, measures the land, and is a good cadre - an out-and-out good cadre of the Great Song Dynasty! We must strive for such good cadres, and now it seems that the effect is not bad, and then it will be up to Maote. ”

Lao Qiu refers to using firearms to give Zhu Xi a dismount, and it is estimated that Zhu Xi will have to look up - well, at least he loves the traversal.

He Chi'an smiled:

"People like Zhu Xi are typical of immaturity in politics in the 21st century. This old gentleman didn't even give the emperor any face, and there was nothing good to say about Emperor Xiaozong, and later became Ning Zong's teacher in history, and training Ning Zong was like training the third grandson, so Han Yanxuan wanted to hit Zhu Xi, and Ning Zong acquiesced. I don't think it's too optimistic, Zhu Xi and his disciples said it well, their position is very firm, and if it is not good, it is that the position is very stubborn, and if you want to reform Zhu Xi well, I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

Qian Airu said:

"Lao He is right, Zhu Xi is said to be very stubborn, and he is so old, I am afraid that the country is easy to change his nature, and the habit of being a teacher is afraid that he can't be changed.

Mao Geng smiled and said to Lao Qiu:

"We are Lao Qiu, a public relations master, to ensure that Mr. Zhu Xi is comfortable, and Zhu Xi and I are not studying a major, I am a layman in Confucianism, and I can't talk to Zhu Xi together. It's the national prince Zhao Lu, who is also majoring in Confucianism, and it is estimated that Zhao Luan's brother may not be able to live in peace. ”

Mao Geng said in his heart, let's not talk about Confucianism with Zhu Xi, let's only talk about science and engineering with you, it is estimated that Zhu Xi will not have the opportunity to instill in him those sciences.

The next day, it was no longer Lao Qiu as a companion, but Mao Geng and 6 Jiuyuan. In view of the fact that Lao Qiu is not good at the military industry, he is not allowed to keep secrets with him in principle, so he is excluded from visiting firearms.

Today's weather is a bit gloomy, as if it is going to rain at any time, 6 Jiuyuan looked at the sky, and said in his heart that as long as it was not pouring rain, it would not affect the test firing, but the demonstration score effect was estimated to be greatly reduced.

When they arrived at the artillery test firing range, Zhu Xi and his party were led to the observation trench, and 6 Jiuyuan handed Zhu Xi a pair of binoculars, which he now teaches Zhu Xi to use. However, Zhu Xi had already used an astronomical telescope before this, so there was no need to say more about 6 Jiuyuan, and it would be the first time.

There are two artillery pieces on the test firing site, one is a 4omm gun, the other is a 6omm gun, in fact, a larger caliber gun has already been trial-produced, but there is no need to bring weapons of mass destruction such as large-caliber artillery to Zhu Xi to offer treasure, the power of 6omm artillery is enough for Zhu Xi to find the confidence of the Northern Expedition, and today's test firing is two guns below 6omm caliber.

First, a 4omm caliber artillery was test-fired, and with a "boom", the muzzle of the gun flashed, and a spherical iron bullet shot out, and a large hole was punched in a wall at a distance of 500 meters.

6 Jiuyuan explained on the side:

"Brother Yuan Hui, please look, this is a half-foot-thick brick wall, and it can't stop this 4o cannon from hitting hard."

Zhu Xi raised the binoculars again to inspect it, nodded and said:

"It's powerful, I don't know how to compare it to the eight-bull crossbow?"

6 Jiuyuan smiled, and saw that Zhu Xi's disciples took turns to observe the effect of the shelling with two pairs of binoculars, and said:

"Brother Yuan Hui, the power of this 4O cannon is already above the power of the Eight Bull Crossbow, Brother Yuan Hui will look at the power of the 6O cannon again, and it is not too late to make an evaluation."

Zhu Xi and his gang immediately focused their attention on the big cannon, and after a while, a more violent explosion came, only to see the muzzle of the cannon flash, a cannonball flew straight away, only to hear a bang, a wall in the distance collapsed.

"Brother Yuan Hui, see it, this wall is also half a foot thick, three miles away from the cannon mouth, a cannon goes down, a wall will collapse immediately, Brother Yuan Hui might as well think about it, if this iron bullet hits a person, what the situation should be."

Zhu Xi watched the demonstration and was already overwhelmed by the power of the cannon, so he was naturally greatly encouraged, and said proudly:

"With such a sharp weapon, even if the golden soldier Tiefutu appears, it can also destroy the withering and decaying."

Speaking of this, I felt quite incredible, and thought:

"I didn't expect it to be so powerful! This cannon shoots iron bullets with gunpowder, and it is truly amazing. Zhu Xi couldn't help but wonder what the principle was, why it was more powerful than the eight-ox crossbow, thinking that the eight-ox crossbow needed twenty people to open the bow, and this artillery only needed one person to pull the rope, and the heavy iron bullet was sprayed far away, what was the reason.

Of course, Mao Geng's design is more exquisite, and the arquebus ignition is too old-fashioned, so it directly uses glass powder and gunpowder to pull the fire and ignite, so that it is at least a grade advanced.

"Brother Yuan Hui, look at it again, this cannon can be hit remotely with iron balls, and it is equipped with a kind of scattered bullet underneath, which is designed to hit enemies within dozens of steps, and the power is incomparable."

I saw that the operators did not wait for the smoke to dissipate, and they were busy.

In a few moments, a large plank was erected thirty paces away, and the cannon was ready.

There was another loud roar, this time with a puff of sand and mist shot out by the firelight, and after a series of loud sounds, the big plank fell backwards with a bang.

The six men then carried the wooden board over and asked Zhu Xi and his party to test the effect of the shelling, only to see that the wooden board was about two inches thick, and it had been beaten with holes, some of which were the thickness of the little finger's finger, and some of which were not pierced.

Zhu Xi gasped, shook his head and sighed:

"Even if you are wearing iron armor, you can't deserve such a sweep of iron sand!"

"The iron armor naturally can't be stopped, this scattered bullet is powerful, a big piece, if the enemy soldiers swarm and rush, this cannon goes down, I am afraid that a row of more than a dozen people will be full of holes."

Zhu Xi's disciples touched the wooden plank, imagining the scene of a row of golden soldiers rushing to be swept by the iron sand, and they were greatly excited for a while.

Due to the large-caliber artillery, Mao Geng doesn't really care about this kind of small cannon anymore, but the effect of today's demonstration is really good, look at Zhu Xi's situation, after reading it, his eyes are full of light, and it is estimated that he is counting how to go on the Northern Expedition at this time.

After watching the cannon demonstration, I immediately went to the musket test range.

The musket test was not as impressive as the cannon, but it was just as impressive.

It's a bit of a wonder how a single bullet killed a pig.

Unless an arrow hits the vital point, it generally can't kill people, and some people are still alive and well with ** arrows, but an arrow is much heavier than a bullet, and a small bullet can kill someone, which makes Zhu Xi feel quite puzzled.

I don't understand it, but it's a fact.

After a few months of refinement, the pouting musket designed by Mao Geng is now in mass production, and of course Chen Yujie has a contribution. This pouting musket is divided into rifled type and smoothbore type, the rifled type is called the nine-zero type, the smoothbore type is called the ** type, the smoothbore type is a sample gun in 1189, so it is called the ** type, the rifled type only came out in 119o, so it is named the nine-zero type. **Type Smoothbore Type is a shotgun that shoots shotguns, and Type 90 is a rifle that shoots bullets.

However, the current production capacity is still very limited, although the use of steam-powered drilling machines, the monthly output of guns is only 60. In fact, there are still many problems with the ** type and the nine-zero type, such as the mute fire is often born, almost 2o% of the mute fire rate, so Mao Geng has been improving, when the two guns are more mature, they can be mass-produced.

It is said that this year is the year of the defeat of the Battle of the Thirteen Wings of Temujin, and it will be several years before Temujin re-emerges, so it seems that there is no need to be in such a hurry.

Mao Geng thinks, "Mao's products must be high-quality products", we can't smash our own brands, we must let the new army of the Great Song Dynasty use high-quality firearms from the beginning. Let's work slowly.
