With the live sensationalism of "My Motherland", the enthusiasm of this group of people was successfully stimulated, and they sat in the carriage and discussed excitedly.

The car was sparkling, and the next stop was at the foot of Bagong Mountain. As soon as a group of people got out of the car, they saw five side-by-side factories at the foot of the mountain, where some villagers and craftsmen were retouching the facades.

"This is the site for the production of new inventions such as clocks, toys, horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, etc., which are being trained to be put into production in a few days; The construction of the factory is mainly based on stones, and it will also be part of the outer defense position of the Shouzhou Science Branch in the future. Lin Feng still became a tour guide.

Because the factory site is currently empty, Lin Feng led this group of bigwigs straight through the factory area, and after two clear cards and one dark card along the way, they arrived at the valley where the Academy of Sciences is located.

On top of the grand stone gate of the Academy of Sciences, a huge stone is convex with the seven characters "Science, Questioning, and Imagination", and a huge wooden clock is placed on the wall facing the wall.

Lin Feng pointed to the big bell and said: "This is the latest invention of the Academy of Sciences' grandfather clock, on which there are three hands from short to long, representing the hour hand, minute hand, and second hand respectively, which can divide the day into 24 hours, 1,444 minutes and 66,400 seconds. Of course, the current table clock is still in the debugging stage, and the accuracy needs to be improved. ”

The crowd stared at the new object they had never heard of, staring at the non-stop pointer, slowly feeling that the monotonous but determined voice seemed to have merged with their own heartbeat to the same rhythm.

After a long time, Chang Mengxi, the privy deputy envoy, sighed softly: "With such a grandfather clock, our Datang is equivalent to completely controlling the time, and I think things like the armillary sphere can retire!" ”

The rare humor of this usually unrestrained and smiling old man suddenly made a group of people laugh.

Li Jingda stepped forward, gently stroked the large and small rotating gears of the table clock with his hand, turned to Lin Feng and said, "Zhishan, this is a good thing, you must get a few sets for our Jiangyin army!" With this, I will always be able to take the initiative on the battlefield! ”

Lin Feng would never be modest at this time, he stepped forward and pointed at these gears, and said in a loud voice: "Time is endless and eternal, life and death, this is the truest ruler in the world. Although the grandfather clock is only a small invention, it is extremely significant. To put it bluntly, with the tools to control time, we Datang are equivalent to having the tools to control the development process of the world! The future of Datang will be vivid, and the prosperity of Datang will be just around the corner! ”

Li Jing, who left the bank of the Huai River in Xiyang and didn't speak anymore, had a smile on his face that became more and more obvious, and he kept gently bowing his head. Chang Mengxi was the first to applaud, cheering for Lin Feng's wonderful words and cheering for the future of Datang, and the others couldn't help but applaud.

Subsequently, Lin Feng briefly stated the overall pattern of the Shouzhou Science Branch, and described their current research directions and priorities, and continued to describe the bright future that is about to be changed by advanced technology, so that the interest of these people will continue.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Lin Feng left the Academy of Sciences with these bigwigs, returned to Shouzhou City, and Li Jing randomly chose a restaurant on the side of the road, ate some special snacks, and then asked Lin Feng to continue to arrange the afternoon itinerary.

Lin Feng naturally had a plan for the itinerary, first leading these people to the "Wonder Shop" to experience the sales boom brought about by the tiny new invention, and then bringing this group of people to the real core location of the Academy of Sciences.

The deep courtyard, the high level of security, and the tall steel stoves that lined up side by side in the courtyard suddenly raised the interest of the group again.

Lin Feng tirelessly performed the drama of cutting scrap iron with steel knives and kitchen knives for scrap iron, and after once again verifying the truth of the Academy of Sciences that "weapons must be produced as good products", he left others to visit the periphery, and took Li Jing and Li Jingda into the most mysterious small courtyard.

Lin Feng first picked up a Sky-Shaking Thunder that looked even smaller and more exquisite, and explained to the two bigwigs: "This is the latest version of the Sky-Shaking Thunder, which is smaller in size but has a greater explosive power. ”

Then, Lin Feng picked up a sky-shaking thunder equipped with a small spring device, and mysteriously introduced: "This is a device we are researching, which can be buried in the place where the enemy passes, as long as it is stepped on, the spring will bounce up, thus detonating the sky-shaking thunder and playing the role of blocking the enemy!" Now all that remains is the problem of ignition to be solved. ”

Li Jingda's expression changed greatly, he carefully took it from Lin Feng's hand, and said in disbelief: "Then if this kind of sky-shaking thunder is successfully developed and placed in batches, wouldn't it be able to block a large number of enemy cavalry?" ”

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "This is exactly one of the main uses of this kind of mine!" Once the mines are mass-produced, the iron cavalry of the Zhou State and the Liao State will no longer be a difficult obstacle for us to pacify the world! ”

Li Jing's eyes widened. The south has always had a very important geographical and psychological advantage against the north, that is, the mountains are undulating and there are many rivers, so there is no need to worry too much about the rapid impact of the large cluster of iron horses in the north. As long as the development is successful, and these mines that explode as soon as they are stepped on are buried on the border line, the enemy may no longer dare to raid and enter the country easily!

Lin Feng looked at the undisguised shock of the two bigwigs, quietly buried a trace of pride in his heart, picked up a half-finished rifle, took it to his eyes, aimed at it, and then handed it to Li Jingda.

Li Jingda didn't know what it meant, so he tried it and handed it back.

Lin Feng picked up a gun plug iron bar from the ground, first stuffed some gunpowder into the barrel of the gun, compacted it, and then pressed the wooden bullet of a bullet model into the chamber of the gun, then picked up a fire fold and made a ignition action, and then made an aiming posture, before explaining to the two confused bosses: "This is a semi-finished musket made according to the principle of firecrackers, and now we also need to overcome the problem of how to ignite!" ”

This time, it was Li Jingda's turn to widen his eyes, snatched the gun and looked it up and down, and asked with a burst of words in his mouth: "How is the firing speed of this musket compared to the arrows?" What about the range? How lethal is it? How much time does it take to fire two bullets? ”

Lin Feng couldn't help but admire that this Li Jingda really deserved to be the military genius of the old Li family, and explained with a smile: "The vision of the King of E is indeed admired by His Majesty, and everything he asks is the key point!" According to our speculation and experiments, the speed of the bullet propelled by gunpowder will be more than double the speed of a 400-stone strong bow and arrow; The lethality is about one-tenth of that of the earth-shaking thunder, and it is enough to bring down a big horse when it hits key parts; The firing range does not decrease within 150 steps, and there will be a little churning if it exceeds 150 steps, and the range can be greatly increased in the future; If the soldier is skillful, he can guarantee that three rounds will be fired in about two minutes, and as long as several rows of soldiers fire in order, the shooting can be guaranteed to never stop! ”

Li Jingda was pleasantly surprised, groped and looked at the various parts of the gun again, and suddenly turned around and grabbed Li Jing's hands: "Big brother, our Datang now has a sky-shaking thunder, if there is an elite team using muskets, who in the world can be the enemy?!" ”

Li Jing groaned, turned to Lin Feng and asked, "Is this kind of ignition problem difficult to solve?" ”

Lin Feng immediately replied, "It's not difficult!" In fact, the ignition of mines can be solved by burying the fuse, and the ignition of the musket can also be solved by the fire fold and fuse, but because these objects are easy to be soaked in rain and water, Weichen's main consideration is to solve the ignition problem once and for all! ”

Li Jing stroked his palms and sighed, exhaled two long breaths, read a few words silently in his mouth, turned to Lin Feng and Li Jingda, and said solemnly: "To be honest, Lin Aiqing's nightmare of predicting the future has always deeply troubled me, so that I can't sleep for many days and nights. Until today, seeing everything that happened in Shouzhou, and seeing the scientific and technological weapon invented by Lin Aiqing, I can finally put a stone in my stomach! Now it seems that we have enough capital to confront last week, at least we can be invincible! ”

Li Jingda said with a grin: "Look at these war weapons that Zhishan has drummed up, what is it to defeat the Zhou State?" I'm even looking forward to the best coming back from the north after this war! ”

Lin Feng immediately continued: "What's the point of grabbing a few pieces of land?" At least we have to leave tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom to help us build Shouzhou and Datang, build a road, build a canal, open a factory or something, just take care of food, no need to pay wages, it can be described as cheap and affordable! ”

Li Jing was obviously annoyed by the confidence and arrogance of the two people, looked up at them, shook his head with a wry smile, and was silent.

Lin Feng suddenly restrained his smile, bowed and said, "Holy Lord, Wei Chen requests that he can meet with Holy Lord and King E alone tonight, and tell a true road to hegemony without a fight!" ”

Li Jing and Li Jingda were stunned and looked at Lin Feng in great surprise.
