Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng stood in the courtyard and talked about the drawings, not minding the bitter and tangled faces of Min Ziruo and Lu Suyao.

The administrative area of the technical college is nothing more than a three-hall house, and news from the outside quickly spreads inside. After a while, another middle-aged man joined the discussion, looking at his age of only thirty, but he could speak well and think quickly.

With the help of a charcoal pen, the trio modified the sail-gunpowder airboat into an air giant powered by heat buoyancy, wind steering, and a cannon – a real cannon – on it. Looking at that jiashi, it's like three naughty children playing with an interesting thing.

"It's really not good, you don't want this artillery." The middle-aged man finally compromised: "Look, if it's a plum blossom-style airbag, the four around it give an oblique force, I'm afraid it will be counteracted." ”

"It is the diagonal pull that cancels out, and the upward lift does not cancel it out." Song Yingxing reacted extremely quickly, not at all like an old man who was close to his sixtieth birthday.

The young man drew a sketch on the map, but shook his head and said: "The key to this thing is still the lift, if this plum blossom airbag is changed to an upper and lower distribution, is it more powerful?" As long as the power is neutralized, the heat is wasted after all. ”

"The stove is simply placed directly in the airbag." Wang Zheng said: "The airbag is sealed again to prevent the hot air from escaping, so it is the best." ”

"The basket could be lighter." Song Yingxing said: "What else is lighter than oil vines, and can bear weight?" ”

"Sheepskin!" The middle-aged man said: "There are sheepskin rafts in the Yellow River instead of ferries, and a sheepskin is tightly tied to its four legs, and it can float on the water after blowing in the air. Even if it is placed on flat ground, even if it is one or two adults, it will not be broken. ”

"Good, if this is lighter and tougher than vine wood." Wang Zheng and Song Yingxing praised.

"Build one."

Zhu Cihong finally found the opportunity to insert and made a final decision.

In the blink of an eye. The whole courtyard seemed to be still, and there was not a single noise.

Min Ziruo and Lu Suyao looked at the monster on the drawing together, and didn't believe it in their hearts: This thing can really fly?

"But before we make this, let's make something simple." Zhu Cihong stepped forward to take a charcoal pen, chatted a few strokes and drew a hot air balloon in his cognition, and said, "Anchor it." Floating in the air is used as an enemy building. Don't add anything, just take one person to fly. ”

"This, I don't see anything difficult, I'm afraid it's easier than being a marquee." Song Yingxing took it and looked at it, and said, "I will go to the workshop outside the city in the afternoon to order the stove and hanging basket, but I am afraid that this airbag will have to be purchased from the private sector." ”

"Silver is not a problem." Zhu Cihong said magnificently: "Give as much as you want, as long as this one flies, Mr. Song can build that one...... Floating Fort. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Song Yingxing bowed to the end: "I came to His Highness Tang Tu before." Weichen could not be redeemed for his death, but he suffered from insufficient funds, so he had to make this decision. He had proposed this idea to Wang Zheng before, but because Wang Zheng refused to give money for the project, he could only put it on the shelf. Hearing that the crown prince was coming to the academy in person, Song Yingxing decided to take a risk.

With the prince's foresight, even if he does not support it, he should not be blamed.

Zhu Cihong looked at Wang Zheng and said, "Mr. Wang." If the silver taels are not enough, you can tell me. I think if this thing can be made, it will be a militaristic weapon! ”

"Your Highness." Wang Zheng owed, "Now Shandong is full of hungry people, and the ministers have also heard that His Highness is buying grain everywhere, even if there is a mountain of gold, he can't afford to consume it like this." The minister thought, even if this thing can be made, it will cost a lot of money. If it can't be done, the silver will be wasted. It is better to let it go first, and wait for the situation to be more stable, and then set up the project. ”

- The chances of this thing succeeding are probably lower than the chances of me crossing back again.

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang." Even if it doesn't work, the money is not in vain: at least you don't have to take the wrong road next time, and it will also have a warning effect on other projects. If you can figure out why you can't succeed, then it's worth the money. Besides, even if this floating fort can't be built, the experience accumulated in order to make this fort and improve other jishu will be beneficial to the country. ”

"In this way," Zhu Cihong looked around, "in the future, Mr. Wang, Mr. Song, and this ......"

"Your Highness's forgiveness!" The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed down: "Weichen Hanlin Academy review Fang Yizhi, meet Your Highness." ”

"Hmm! Fang Yizhi ......" Zhu Cihong looked at Wang Zheng, and he really didn't say a thousand words. He originally thought that he had caught the only two remaining great scientists in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was already the eyes of God, and the time was running, and the sky was endless...... I didn't expect Fang Yizhi to send it to the door by himself!

This scholar, who wrote more than 4 million words in his lifetime, studied literature, science, Yixue, translation, history, philosophy, religion, geography, medicine, physics, astronomy, meteorology, military affairs, calligraphy, and ...... Almost all of the disciplines that are currently emerging have been promoted.

The entire Ming Dynasty can be compared with Fang Yizhi is another all-round talent, Fu Shan Fu Qingzhu. Zhu Cihong originally wanted to go to him when he was in Shanxi, but he had already gone to Li Jiantai's curtain first. As Li Jiantai retreated to Baoding, Fu Shan also lost news.

"Fang Jian is the son of the late Huguang governor Fang Kongzhi, and he has a close past with Tang Ruowang." Wang Zheng said: "Looking at it from the perspective of the minister, the party review really has the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, so he is served as a professor." ”

Zhu Cihong almost blurted out: weishenme didn't tell me earlier!

However, he is still a little clear, knowing that the officials and the appointment of people are all internal, more like the contracting system of later generations, and everything to do is recruited by himself, and only after the success of the matter will Xiangshang report that some friends with outstanding contributions will be mentioned. Therefore, if Zhu Cihong does not come to inspect, he may not know that bright stars such as Song Yingxing and Fang Yizhi are under his command until the results of the research are obtained.

Well, and John Tang.

"Where's John Soup?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"John Tang went to the artillery factory the day before yesterday, and it seems that there has been progress there." Wang Zheng said: "Now there are only three professors in the college, so each of them has several disciplines and runs around. ”

"Send some good donkeys to the Academy." Zhu Cihong said to Min Ziruo, and then turned to Wang Zheng: "Sir, in the future, as long as one of you and one of the three professors suggests a project, you can set up a project, but the priority of the project needs to be discussed and decided." If there is not enough silver, even if I know it. ”

Wang Zheng saw that Zhu Cihong was so insistent, and he couldn't say anything more.

Zhu Cihong looked up at the sun and said, "Let's have a light meal with a few gentlemen, by the way, Mr. Song, your official robe is ......."

Song Yingxing hurriedly said: "Weichen is currently the governor of Bozhou, Fengyang Prefecture, Nanzhili. ”

"Bozhou ......" Zhu Cihong's mind turned, it was in the northwest of Nanzhi, thousands of miles away from here, "How did you get to Laizhou?" ”

"Weichen was recruited in the camp by Feng Du, and this time he was also ordered to come to meet the emperor, but he has not been summoned." Song Yingxing said without any regrets, obviously he was happy at the technical college.

"Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying? Why did he send you to see the Emperor? Zhu Cihong said curiously, looking at Lu Suyao, even more curious that he didn't know about it.

"This ......" Song Yingxing hesitated slightly, and said: "The minister is just an entourage, I don't know it, His Royal Highness can summon Zhan Shi Jiang Yueguang to deal with it." ”

Zhu Cihong let out a meaningful "oh". He doesn't know much about the historical celebrities in the late Ming Dynasty, especially in the Southern Ming Dynasty, all kinds of people have appeared on the stage, the emperor changes quickly, and the ministers change quickly, if you are not a professional, who can remember clearly? However, this Jiang Yueguang was remembered in his previous life.

Jiang Yueguang participated in the Yingli Fu Domain, and Hongguang Dynasty entered the cabinet as a university scholar. The people of the time called him, Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu as the "Three Sages of Nanzhong". Later, he was squeezed out by Ma Shiying, returned from begging, and wrote the first-hand historical material "Seven Things Crossing the River", Zuihou and Jin Shenghuan raised troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, and the army was defeated and died in the water.

This scribe, who was supposed to write and talk in the Hanlin Courtyard in Nanjing, actually got involved with Ma Shiying, and rushed to Laizhou thousands of miles to ask for an audience, and it seems that the party struggle in Jiangnan has started again.

"Your Highness......" Lu Suyao stepped forward and asked softly.

"Eat first, and then go to the martial arts hall." Zhu Cihong paused, and then said: "Send a message to Wu Fu and ask him to entertain Jiang Yueguang." ”

Lu Suyao retreated in response, and she didn't dare to breathe. (To be continued......)
