"Bang! Boom! ……”

Shells were being fired. The whole shiyan process was quite boring at the time. The artillery constantly adjusts its angle to determine the best angle of fire. But a group of officers watched with interest. There are too few entertainment activities in this barracks, so it is better to watch them all come and see the excitement.

When Wu Shigong saw that it was troublesome to adjust and record the angle of artillery, he came up with the idea of making a protractor similar to the modern one. The production of this protractor is not complicated at all, and according to Wu Shigong's ideas, the craftsmen in the Henan army quickly made it.

However, with the protractor, it does bring great convenience to the adjustment of the angle of the artillery. So for Wu Shigong's wonderful idea, the officers of the Runing battalion were all crazy sycophants. Wu Shigong was enjoying the sycophants, and at the same time thought beautifully: "I didn't expect to be a genius in the Ming Dynasty It's quite simple?" ”

There is also a relatively big problem, which is the level of artillery positions. With so much manpower, it was no problem for the Henan Army to level an artillery position.

But there is a problem here, there is no guarantee that this leveled Haode artillery position is parallel to the water level. You know, it's mountainous. If the gun is mounted on an inclined gun position, the gun's fire will deviate due to the tilt of the firing angle. However, it is impossible to observe with the naked eye whether the artillery positions are parallel to the horizon.

Eventually, a craftsman solved the puzzle. He used a large flat plank to lay on the artillery position, and then dripped water in the middle of the plank. If the water droplets do not roll, then it proves that the artillery position is basically parallel to the horizon. In fact, this is the prototype of the modern spirit level.

Seeing that this problem was solved, Wu Shigong was overjoyed, and conveniently rewarded the craftsman with fifty taels of silver. This makes everyone highly motivated, so some small problems in the future are solved one by one after working together. Of course, Wu Shigong is also after. Meritorious service personnel were rewarded in a variety of sizes.

Finally, after two days of shiyan, shiyan's result was finally reached. Because the mountain was too steep, the three-pounder guns in the Runing camp could not be transported up the mountain, and the one-pounder guns were too powerful, so the four two-pounder guns were used for the warp firing of the rebel ships.

After determining the angle of fire of the gun, the craftsmen began to build a fixed gun carriage according to this angle of fire. And the other auxiliaries began to open the road and level the artillery positions on the hill. It is necessary to make all preparations before the artillery is fired.

And in this shiyan, Chi Ming's boy camp is only seventeen years old, named Hu Meng. Witnessed and participated in documenting the entire shiyan process. After that, he developed a strong research interest in the firing curve of artillery.

After that, Hu Meng took the initiative to sign up for the artillery team, and gradually became a ballistics expert of the artillery team, and later became the general manager of Qian.

However, this Hu Meng has little interest in fighting. After that, he voluntarily withdrew from the combat unit and came to the military academy that was later opened by the Runing Battalion. Become a teacher who teaches artillery ballistics.

Hu Meng's life in the military academy is like a fish in water. His own research and the eight most talented students he brought out laid the foundation for almost half of the modern physics and chemistry of this time and space. and eventually invented higher mathematics. And Hu Meng is also honored as the "father of science" in this time and space.

But the current Wu Shigong doesn't know that there is a real genius like Hu Meng by his side. When artillery shiyan ended. Wu Shigong was playful, and he shouted: "Put the cannon up and see how high you can hit the shell." ”

Since the adults are interested, the small ones must of course cheer on. Soon, the cannon was filled with the maximum amount of gunpowder and erected upright. Of course. This erection is also slightly forward, with a slight angle. Otherwise, the shell would have landed on his head. It wasn't fun, it was suicide.

The launch was carried out by Liang Hui himself. When the cannon was discharged, everyone's mouths were wide open. Tilt your neck and watch the shells fly higher and higher. Until the shell turned into a small, barely visible black dot. After waiting for a long time, the shell fell, and it hit a place forty or fifty paces in front of the cannon, and raised a large piece of dirt.

People who came back to the scene began to exclaim, "Wow! Fly so high! ”

Only Liang Hui, a master of sycophants, reacted the fastest, he knelt in front of Wu Shigong on one leg, and said very sincerely: "My lord! This cannon is mighty, please give it a name. ”

Wu Shigong blurted out: "Shenzhou One!" ”

Those people who were robbed of the opportunity by Liang Hui immediately followed up to slap Wu Shigong's sycophants without outdone: "My lord! What a name! "What a high level of knowledge for adults! ”……

Zhou Xun also came to Wu Shigong's front and complimented him with a smile: "My lord, our Runing battalion will build bigger artillery in the future, maybe we can hit the moon." ”

Wu Shigong didn't even think about it, and then said: "That cannon is called Chang'e No. 1!" ”

Of course, Wu Shigong didn't know what taboos were there, so the homophonic name, Shenzhou Cannon, was called in the Runing camp, and it was also recorded in the documents of the Runing camp.

It was only after returning to Runing that Deng Qifan found this very sensitive name in the documents. In order to avoid secrecy, Deng Qifan easily changed the name to Shenzhou Cannon. He didn't think of this change at all, he just changed it back to his original name.

And in this time and space, there is also an interesting anecdote. When this history spread to the West, more than a hundred years later, there was a man named Jules? The French science fiction writer at Verne was inspired to write a science fiction novel "From the Earth to the Moon", which uses artillery to launch people into the moon.

And this shell of Shenzhou-1 also brought an accident. The movement of the cannonballs landing on the ground also caused the fright of a horse pulling an empty cart that was quietly gnawing on grass.

This frightened horse-drawn empty cart galloped across the empty artillery test range, attracting a burst of excitement from the people who were also grazing on the side. It took advantage of the fact that the guards were not paying attention, and a gallop and the startled horse were chasing after me. It caused everyone to laugh.

When I arrived at Zuihou, of course, the soldiers went out to subdue the two horses and brought them back. However, after the person came back from madness, he naughtily jumped around Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong ignored the crazy people, and he suddenly had a new idea. You must know that although people are crazy and naughty, they can run quite fast. But the startled horse just now was still dragging a big cart, and its speed was not much slower than that of a human madman.

Wu Shigong remembered a movie he had watched in his previous life - "Gladiator". It's in the Colosseum. The scene of the chariot battle, Wu Shigong remembered that the power of the chariot was not small. Will you make a few cars in the Runing camp in the future?

Of course, Wu Shigong would not know that that that kind of chariot was very popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but with the large-scale use of cavalry, this kind of chariot has long been eliminated.

Because of the high cost of this kind of vehicle, it is difficult to train the master, but the terrain requirements for use are very high. Therefore, it was cracked for the first time by Sun Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period at that time, and then this chariot gradually became history. So that there was no shadow of this kind of chariot in the Ming Dynasty, and there were not many people who even knew that there was such a chariot in history.

But at this time. No one would object to Wu Shigong's idea. Under Wu Shigong's description, Chi Ming quickly recorded the idea of developing this kind of tank and the sketches of this kind of tank that Wu Shigong recalled.

And just when he was waiting for the official launch, a blacksmith named Bian Chengwang, who was "transferred" by Wu Shigong in Laizhou City, found Wu Shigong.

In the summary of the battle after the Battle of Huangxian. Wu Shigong put forward the idea of using a large piece of armor iron to protect the beggar's armor from the vital points. And we already know that. During this period of the Ming Dynasty. There are very few blacksmiths who have the ability to make such large pieces of armor iron, and the manufacturing cycle is also very long, and it is simply not to the extent of mass production.

And this Bian Chengwang is one of them. He passed down some of his ancestral skills that could greatly shorten the manufacturing time of iron sheets. In terms of modern technology, the one that their family has inherited is the process of "quenching". It can quickly increase the strength of the iron sheet to meet the strength requirements of the armor iron plate.

To know. In the past, the increase in the strength of iron sheets was done by refining thousands of times, which took a lot of labor and time. But Bian Chengwang's method can greatly shorten this time.

Of course, as an ancestral method, Bian Chengwang was not willing to dedicate it to Wu Shigong. But because he was jealous of Wu Shigong's rewards. Therefore, he had the courage to ask Wu Shigong for credit.

When Wu Shigong heard this, he was of course very excited, because this method was too important for the strengthening of the ordnance production of the Runing Battalion. But Wu Shigong understood that Bian Chengwang was unwilling to give up this method, he was only willing to take his son and apprentice to produce this kind of iron piece for Wu Shigong.

In addition, there is another problem, Wu Shigong is no longer willing to be rewarded like this. For such an important method, it is not good to reward too little. But the reward is too much, and Wu Shigong himself has to be painful, because the landlord's family has no surplus food! Therefore, Wu Shigong has to think of a good way to solve this problem.

What's the solution? Thinking about it, Wu Shigong thought of the modern "Patent Law". Wu Shigong proposed to Bian Chengwang: Let Bian Chengwang dedicate this jishu, but Wu Shigong's Runing camp will pay the patent fee for each product that uses this jishu.

Wu Shigong is familiar with the provisions of the "Patent Law" anyway, and now he only needs to copy them. Anyway, in modern times, Wu Shigong has also done a lot of piracy, so studying this kind of legal provisions is also one of Wu Shigong's compulsory courses.

However, seeing that Bian Chengwang was still a little hesitant, Wu Shigong once again put forward a condition, naming the kind of jishu that Bian Chengwang offered as "Bian's method", so that the Bian family could be famous for a hundred years.

But to Wu Shigong's surprise, Bian Chengwang was not worried about this, he was only worried about whether the government would find a reason to seize his Bian's family property if he obtained a lot of wealth from the patent law.

This concern is quite valid. In order to appease Bian Chengwang, Wu Shigong had to accept the Sancheng cadre shares offered by Bian Chengwang to appease Bian Chengwang's heart. It seems that there is still a long way to go in the construction of the legal system!

And Wu Shigong has changed from a lawbreaker in his previous life to a current legislator. This situation also makes people sigh: "Life experiences are really unpredictable!" ”

In fact, the Patent Law is also a law that is often underestimated by the world. However, its importance can be seen from the fact that after the founding of the United States, the Constitution was enacted, and the first law enacted was the Patent Act.

The essence of the Patent Law is that any country actually needs a large number of talents from all walks of life, and the country's finances cannot afford to support such a large number of talents. So what to do?

Through the "Patent Law", let the private sector contribute money, let these talents get rich, so as to keep these talents in the country to serve the country. This is also the important reason why Britain, which first formulated the "Patent Law", also carried out the Industrial Revolution first, and Zuihou expanded into an empire on which the sun never sets. If you don't believe me, you only have to look at the luxurious line-up of academicians in the British Academy at that time.

During the four or five months of besieging Dengzhou City, Wu Shigong's Runing Battalion appeared as a genius like Hu Meng, laying the foundation for scientific theory; The Patent Law appeared, laying the foundation for wealth.

After that, a large number of scientific researchers and inventors appeared in the Runing camp. Eventually, the Industrial Revolution of the East took place in this time and space. Therefore, in the afterlife of this time and space, what happened during this time is called the cradle of science! (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you Richudongfan for sharing your thoughts on the Patent Law. This is also the content of the original setting of this book, and we really see the same thing as heroes!

But now that I've written, I've found that many of my friends have put forward in their book reviews, and that's what I'm going to write. I really feel that you guys are awesome!

However, it was also a very heavy blow to my own intelligence. I couldn't help crying: He Shengliang!

If you have mercy on me! Please give some tickets! xiexie！
