Lu Ziluo did not have a good time at the Imperial University.

People laughed at his face – actually, I don't know why. It's not your fault that you're ugly! But then again, it's not your fault that you're ugly, but it's not right to be scary, and it's even more annoying to say that you're "absolutely right" with an ugly face......

Now Lu Ziluo is the No. 3 person in the inner court, second only to Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, and Li Feiyu, the superintendent of the forbidden army, so he says everything in the emperor and controls everyone's future, even if someone disagrees with him, he doesn't dare to show it, so he complains secretly.

However, not in the Imperial University.

-

-

The Imperial University is in the "Fifth Building" of the Imperial Palace Compound, and the Imperial University is in the "Fifth District" of the Imperial Palace District, and the distance between them is no more than ten minutes.

The main building of the palace is heavily guarded, but the auxiliary building is quite lax. Only one level of permission is required to enter the auxiliary building—and the Dashi clan all have this permission.

Therefore, the Imperial University and the Imperial University can actually be regarded as a university. In other words, the Imperial University is the "high-level part" of the Imperial University.

All the teachers of the Imperial University are the teachers of the Imperial University; All Imperial University students can audit Imperial University courses; The best students and teachers of Imperial University will be transferred to Imperial University.

Although they are so close, they are not friendly.

Do you think, can they be good?!

The imperial university is the inner court and the public expense, and the students are all eunuchs, and they will all be the imperial officials of the inner court of Chang'an in the future; The emperor is a foreign dynasty and at his own expense, and he will be a local tyrant and military leader in various places in the future.

They are fighting in the school now, and they will fight in the court in the future!

-

In addition to theoretical courses, there are also practical courses.

The location of the internship class is the Imperial Army and the Forbidden Army.

However, our headmaster had a falling out with the Emperor, so the Imperial Army did not welcome us.

Our principal had a stalemate with Li Feiyu again, so the forbidden army did not welcome us.

Then you can only go to the Royal Armory.

Oh, and forgot to mention that Lu Ziluo is also the head of the royal weapons department.

Someone said: "The rank of the head of the Royal Ordnance Department is too low. ”

"I don't care about this kind of superficial honor. The Armaments Department is very important. ”

Let's take a closer look at the Royal Armaments.

-

-

It goes by many names: Royal Armory, Royal Armory, Royal Arsenal, Forbidden Army Secret Factory, Royal Printing House, Royal Fuel Factory...... And so on and so forth.

All in all, it is an annex building of the palace compound. The 1,000-meter-high main building is surrounded by a circle of 12 auxiliary buildings, and the building at 7 o'clock is the Royal Ordnance Department, known as "Building No. 7".

The Royal Armaments Department is responsible for the production of weapons for the entire Forbidden Army! Responsible for the production of banknotes throughout the empire! Responsible for the production of fuel for the entire empire!

Some people say, I took the exam, how can such an important department be so "unimportant"?

I thought about it and had the following points:

First, in the Ming Dynasty, the superior people were officials, the middle people were businessmen, and the inferior people worked. This building is full of work, and it must be looked down upon.

Second, the inner court deliberately covered up. Such an important department naturally has to pretend that it is not important!

Third...... There was no belief that the building could produce weapons, banknotes, fuel, ......

……

Lu Ziluo said: "You are the future imperial officials, and many of them will become officers of the forbidden army. As long as the workers can make the work, and you are different, all of you must understand the principle! ”

He waved at us: "Go!" ”

-

-

We walked into the building.

Needless to say, exactly the same building.

On the first floor are various classrooms, where the officers of the forbidden army are studying.

That's an artillery class.

We looked at the military lessons of the officers of the Praetorian Army.

Scared to death!

I saw the teacher lecturing: calculus, determinants, dimensions, vector matrices, trigonometric functions, multivariate equations......

The Imperial Army fired artillery based on experience, but the Forbidden Army did not. What the forbidden army needed to fight artillery was not experience, but knowledge.

The Forbidden Army has a "calculation table" with firing range, launch elevation angle, flight time, landing angle, landing speed, correction parameters...... With these data, an artilleryman who is not stupid only needs a ruler and a protractor to hit a small tree ten kilometers away with one shot!

-

-

The second floor is the fuel plant.

All the gasoline, diesel, kerosene, lubricants, etc., of the Ming Empire were produced here - except for the low-quality oil on the black market, which was cooking oil and passed off as fuel.

The raw material of the fuel plant is soybeans, and about one ton of soybeans can produce more than 100 kilograms of gasoline.

-

-

The second floor is the explosives factory.

Look at it, it's "explosives" and not "gunpowder"! The explosives here are not the gunpowder of the country! Folk gunpowder was made of nitrate, sulfur and charcoal.

The "dynamite" of the Imperial Army was also gunpowder - that is, the Imperial Army did not have explosives! The bomb of the Imperial Army was a tin can filled with gunpowder and iron nails, which was at most more powerful than the firecrackers of the rebels, and far worse than the bombs of the Forbidden Army.

The explosives are cumbersome, and the raw materials are cotton, logs, sulfur, saltpeter, diatomaceous earth, various acids and alkalis, and other minerals.

We looked at it for a while, and Lu Ziluo said, "It's too dangerous here, dead people are frequent, so let's go." ”

-

-

Going up to the third floor, is the Bullet Factory.

Several large machines are making bullets and bullet casings one by one, and the workers next to them are loading the second layer of explosives into the bullet casings, and then loading the bullets, which are bullets. There are also inspectors who occasionally take out a bullet and shoot it and "snap" it on the target.

Next door is the Shell Factory, which is similar to the Bullet Factory, except that the machines are larger.

Next door is the grenade factory. Putting nails and explosives into iron pipes and balls, plus triggering devices, are hand grenades and mines.

-

-

On the fourth floor, there is the Gun Factory.

They first made various parts in batches, and then assembled them one by one, which were pistols, rifles, and submachine guns.

Next door is the Gun Pipe Factory. Inside there was a huge machine that was used to cut the barrel of the gun. The barrels were cast in a foundry in another building and then transported by elevator to the Royal Arsenal via the basement level. I saw that the machine kept drilling holes in a cannon barrel with various drill bits, and the fire was everywhere.

-

-

Go up to the sixth floor, and it's actually an armored car factory! The workers inside are assembling armored vehicles!

Next door is a tank factory!

I've heard that no one in the world can make tanks, and now tanks are all dug out of the ground, and there is one less broken one.

But the situation in front of us is unmistakable proof - tanks can be built!

This is actually a tank assembly shop, and the parts are produced in a different place.

I saw a large hook hanging all kinds of parts on the chassis, including engines, turrets, gun barrels, various systems, and armor.

Everyone was stunned.

-

The seventh floor is the printing house.

All documents and banknotes of the Ming Dynasty are printed here.

Several precision machines kept tumbling, and a bunch of "priceless treasures" were born.

We looked at it, and there were "scholar certificates", "royal family certificates", "degrees", "migration certificates" and "exoneration certificates...... And, of course, banknotes of any denomination.

-

-

We're ready to continue on to the eighth floor.

Lu Ziluo said: "Further up is the engine factory, and there are ...... Don't ask, it's not what you should ask, it's not our territory. ”

Someone asked, "Not our territory?" Whose is that? ”

Lu Ziluo: "Don't ask. ”

I want to ask, "Is it the territory of the Senate?" But to utter the words "senatorial" is a capital offense! So I shut up.

Lu Ziluo said: "Let's go around more!" Be sure to apply what you've learned! Got it! ”

So everyone dispersed and looked everywhere.

-

-

Most of them all went to the sixth floor, after all, tanks are fun!

Looking at the tanks being assembled, everyone was stunned!

A worker climbs into a freshly assembled, freshly filled tank.

He's moving!

People are envious.

I said, "Can I open it and try it?" ”

Zhao Pumin on the side said: "Ha, can you drive a tank?" ”

I said, "How do you know if you don't try?" What is the difference between a tank and a car if it is not an engine plus a body? I will drive a car, and I will definitely drive a tank. ”

Since I came to the palace, I drove around Chang'an in a car when I was fine, and it didn't cost money anyway.

Zhao Yuyang on the side said: "If you don't brag, you'll die!" ”

Lu Ziluo, who was on the side, nodded and said thoughtfully: "Well said, tanks are the same as cars." If you can drive a car, you can drive a tank. ”

Seeing that the principal had said this, I said, "I'll try it!" ”

Taking advantage of the tank's stop, I climbed up.

-

-

The worker said, "Who are you?" ”

Me: "Director of the Department of Reserves." ”

Him: "Warehouse manager?!" What are you doing here? ”

I was furious: "I order you as a five-rank official, get out!" ”

He said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Me: "Nonsense, of course it's a tank." ”

Him: "Have you trained?" Driving a tank is the most difficult, and only a professional Praetor-Forbidden driver can drive it. ”

Me: "You talk a lot of nonsense!" Our principal is a lieutenant general of the forbidden army, and no one says it, what are you doing crookedly?! I don't care about you! ”

He came down, and I sat down excitedly.

-

-

The tank is really similar to the car, except that the cab is smaller, there are more blind spots, and the steering wheel is larger, but the various devices are the same as the car.

Looking down, the clutch, throttle, and brake are all about the same.

After looking for a long time, there was no key, no keyhole, and I didn't even know where the light was.

A circle of people lying on the turret and watching around me laughed.

Suddenly, I saw a green button on the right, and I pressed it at once.

The tank shuddered and finally started.

The crowd fell in fright.

It's almost the same as the car, clutching, shifting, refueling, and the tank was actually driven by me! It's just that all kinds of operations are too hard, whether it's shifting gears or stepping on the accelerator or something, you have to use the strength of milk. The steering wheel is too big, and it takes many turns to make the same as one lap of a car.

So I drove the tank around the sixth floor, and I didn't dare to drive fast, so I drove slowly in first and second gear.

Many people are not afraid anymore and climb into the tank for a ride together.

What a great day!

Ha ha!
