My plan was to separate the scholars and the royal family, but I didn't expect it to make the head of the inner court and the senators suspicious.

It is more difficult for the emperor to replace the head of the inner court than to ascend to the sky, and it is easier for the senator to replace the head of the inner court than to take off his pants.

In those days, I patiently waited for the follow-up developments.

This is a matter for the upper echelons of the inner court, and no matter what I think and do, I can't have any impact on this matter, so it's better to wait with peace of mind.

On November 4, the third year of Honghua in the Ming Dynasty, someone sent a message that Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, called me.

Walking into the inner court headquarters on the twentieth floor of the palace, in the palatial hall, Liu Xingchao and Li Feiyu were waiting for me.

Liu Xingchao: "the emperor and prince, go to the damn scholars, go to the mother's senate." I'll just do it secretly, what's the matter! But ......"

He touched his chin: "Who should I send?" ”

I looked in the mirror with my resolute eyes—and I looked in the mirror, and my "resolute looks" almost convinced me—and said, "I can go." ”

Liu Xingchao looked at me and smiled, and asked me, "Why do you want to go?" ”

Me: "Because, you've already decided to let me go." ”

Liu Xingchao looked at me and said, "Of the seventy-two graduates of the Imperial University, you are the only one who failed. ”

Li Feiyu: "That's why you want to make meritorious contributions." ”

Me: "I would say that I was the only one who passed. The emperor is all waste, let people choose people, they must choose people like them! ”

Liu Xingchao smiled and said, "The task is arduous, but I can give you any help you need." Li Feiyu will be in charge of this. ”

I have to say that Li Feiyu is also a very powerful character.

His martial arts are extremely high, he is ruthless, and he will come to trouble. This time he proved that he was not only of high status, but also extremely intelligent.

He led me to the Patriarch's Library, where I experienced one of the greatest shocks ever.

The Senate Library is located on the 198th and 199th floors of the Royal Palace.

I don't have access rights, but Li Feiyu does.

After 12 o'clock in the evening, Li Feiyu and I quietly lurked on the 189th floor.

When he felt that the old men of the Senate were asleep, he took me with him.

So I went to the legendary Senate Library.

Looking at Chang'an on more than a dozen floors is a scene, dozens of floors is another, more than a hundred floors is another, and on the 199th floor it is another.

The crescent moon in the sky is still far away, looking indifferently at everything in the world; The moonlight reflected the hazy thin clouds, incomparably pure; Scattered starlight dotted the cyan sky; The sky ends in a black boundless round earth; On the earth is the dotted city of Chang'an, like the starry sky in the sky, and the streets of Chang'an are like immortal meteors.

But I don't have time to enjoy such a view. I have to hurry up and figure everything out, and when I go to the field, the slightest mistake in the details is the whole mistake.

What I need is the principle, not just the process.

The raw materials for the Royal Arsenal were supplied from all over the country, and I had to understand the principle completely so that I could find the raw materials myself, and without the raw materials I had to make them myself.

During that time, I spent the evenings in the Senate Library and during the day in the Royal Library.

I was exhausted, but excited.

I finally understood how those incredible miracles were born, some confirmed my instincts, some surprised me.

Li Feiyu was as shocked as I was ten years ago, when Liu Xingchao brought him here.

Now that he has bothered to teach me, I am moved by his serious expression.

This is how the spirit of the inner court is passed down from generation to generation.

Usually, after Li Feiyu took me in, he would sleep on the floor and leave me to browse all kinds of books. I heard him snoring and secretly went to read other books.

Sometimes I look fascinated and see that he is not snoring!

My heart went to my throat, but after a while he started to make a sound again.

I turned my head to see that he was still sleeping soundly, so I continued to watch.

The Senate Library is very different from the Royal Library.

The Royal Library has an extremely rich collection of books, but the good and the bad are uneven; There aren't many senatorial libraries, and everything is a real guy who is practical.

The Royal Library has a lot of thinking and reasoning, and the Senate Library is all about conclusions.

For example, the Senate Library has a number of books called the Book of the Senate, including one book called the Book of Domination, which teaches people how to rule the world.

There are many volumes in this book, and the content in it is more esoteric than calculus and game science, and it introduces various systems of thought, all expressed in axioms, theorems, reasoning, formulas, functions, and graphs.

Frankly, I don't understand it at all, it's what I think it's so powerful.

Maybe Zhao Yuyang may understand, but I can't tell him.

Anyway, I learned a lot of things in this month, some of which I wanted to pass on to the Hebei rebels, and some of which I wanted to learn myself.

First of all, there is the production of gasoline and diesel.

A long time ago, people found or created a small invisible life called "bean-loving bacteria" that can produce something called "legutamase". "Enzymes" are extremely sensitive, they can only exist at a specific temperature, and very little temperature difference can make it "inactive". By filling a specific amount of "enzymes" into a specific concentration of brine and sugar water, and then putting the solution into a specified amount of soybeans, "gasoline", "diesel", "kerosene", "lubricating oil" and "paraffin oil" can be produced in a specific process. They can also make a variety of "alcohols", which are important raw materials for the next step.

Secondly, there is the production of explosives.

The books in the Patriarch's Library are all about principles, thick books, and the Royal Arsenal is only about operational processes. The manufacture of explosives raw materials is extremely complex, but the raw materials are simple - air, sulfur, water, wood. Unexpectedly, extremely simple common items can be turned into earth-destroying weapons after a specific step.

If Hebei can make kitchen knives, then it can make bullet shells. Loading a shell with explosives is a bullet and a shell. These things were enough to ensure that the Hebei Army would have a huge military advantage over the Royal Army.

However, in view of the fact that there are too many people in the Royal Army, Liu Xingchao deliberately has a backup weapon - poison gas.

It is more complicated to make than explosives, and the raw materials also require fluorite and sand. This "poison gas" is actually an oily substance, and replacing the steel core in the warhead with it is a poison gas bomb. When a gas bomb explodes, it produces yellow smoke, which is widespread, lasts for a long time, and does not spread easily. A single cannonball can produce thousands of square meters of smoke, and anyone who inhales the smoke will die within a minute, even if he only stays in the smoke for a second.

The only thing that protects against poison gas is a gas mask. Gas masks are made of wood, which is ground into chips and fired in a furnace in a specific process, called "activated charcoal", which adsorbs poisonous gases.

To get in touch with me, they also taught me the "principle" of the telegraph - the principle and not the operation.

All the telegraph machines of the Ming Dynasty were produced by the Royal Arsenal, and the system was exactly the same, but when equipping the troops, they were set up differently according to the different objects of delivery.

Each transmitter had a unique key, and in general there were two main types: the palace telegraph could receive and send telegrams from all local troops; The telegraph machines of the local troops could only communicate with the Imperial Palace, and they could not communicate with each other.

The batteries of the telegraph were also specially made and could only be charged at the Royal Arsenal.

At its core, the telegraph was a "black box", designed to keep the inside story from anyone else, and any attempt to pry it open would destroy it completely.

But this design is completely ineffective against the inner court, because it is the inner court design.

Li Feiyu gave me a special tool, which I could use to open the black box in a special place and in a special way. Once the black box is opened, the machine can be modified to pretend to be any transmitter! However, he told me to use it sparingly, because the Royal Army has its own password, which changes every month to prevent impersonation.

Only a royal army of more than 100,000 people can have a transmitter, and the key characteristics of each transmitter are unique, so I have to memorize more than hundreds of feature codes.

Those nights of dreaming were all sorts of numbers.

By December of the third year of Honghua, I was completely ready.

In just one month, I surpassed the vast majority of people in this world.

In the past, the world I saw was the world I saw before; Now, I see a world of something else.
