Chapter 44 Study of firearms and make plans
Chen Mo's heartbeat and high-spirited shuang'er also felt it, but she didn't hear a trace of entanglement in Chen Mo's words, she looked at Chen Mo with seven points of gratitude and three points of tenderness, and her little face was in Chen Mo's arms for a while and then said in a greasy voice:
"Shuang'er is willing to be a woman who is willing to be a husband at all times, and she will never leave her husband in this life, even if someone wants to cut off my head, I will not leave my husband."
Fourteen-year-old girl, in the real world, is only a coquettish age, but Shuang'er has been walking on the rivers and lakes, was given to Chen Mo She has accepted her fate, and in the past few days with Chen Mo, she found that although Chen Mo was intimate with her, she did not cross the last boundary, and now when she returned home, she had the idea of dedication.
She didn't understand what Chen Mo's words meant, but she sensed that Chen Mo also wanted her, but there was some special reason for him to think about her, Shuang'er originally only had seven points of admiration for Chen Mo and three points of closeness, but after contact, it became a curiosity, a concern and a liking, and now when she heard that Chen Mo didn't want her for the sake of not being sad, her heart was full of Chen Mo.
This kind of transformation is the girl's investment in her feelings, the first love of the girl met a man who could endure the impulse for her, she was moved at the moment is full of affection, she is willing to be Chen Mo's woman, it was a responsibility before, but now it is her true thoughts.
Chen Mo hugged Shuang'er back to the bed, groped to find Shuang'er's belly pocket and dirty pants to put on for her, the two looked at each other silently, Shuang'er didn't say to leave, Chen Mo didn't let her leave, the two just fell on the head of a bed until they fell asleep.
At dawn, Shuang'er woke up early, kissed Chen Mo's slightly open mouth in his sleep, and got up to prepare breakfast for Chen Mo with a red face.
Shuang'er opened his eyes when he left the house, listening to Shuang'er humming Wu Nong's little song for breakfast, Chen Mo sat up and sighed:
"Such a cute and capable girl, it would be nice if she could have a wife, it's a pity."
Chen Mo got up and practiced for a while, and after breakfast, he told Shuang'er not to run around, he changed into a set of cardigan and walked to another secluded alley, and came to a chic courtyard, Chen Mo smiled and knocked on the door, but after a while, a concierge in his fifties opened the door and asked:
"Who is this son looking for?"
"What about Cheng Yu?" Chen Mo asked.
"Mr. Cheng is in the house, Childe wait a minute." The porter said after turning sideways and letting Chen Mo enter the hospital.
Chen Mo stood in the courtyard and took a look, this small courtyard was originally the residence of a minor official in the capital, the courtyard is not big but the pavilions are complete, behind the hall is a corridor, there are seven or eight houses in the backyard, but on the other side is the house where the servants live, it looks decent but shows the unique vision of the original owner.
Cheng Yu came out of the house and said happily when he saw Chen Mo:
"Chen Gongzi, you are finally here, Lao Tian, Chen Gongzi is the master here."
Lao Tian is the gatehouse, and this is a secluded courtyard that Chen Mo asked Cheng Yu to buy for him, it turned out that that place was just a rented house, and now it was found by the people of Mu Wangfu, he didn't want someone to trouble him all day long.
As for why Cheng Yu would do things for Chen Mo, it was even simpler, Chen Mo's initial plan was to temporarily get himself out of the court, but there was one thing he didn't want to let go, that is, the firearms research in the firearms workshop.
Cheng Yu took Chen Mo's name and appointment back to the capital, directly took over the management of the firearms workshop, and set up a special firearms research room in a valley farther away from the western suburbs, Chen Mo himself did not know too much about the principles of artillery and muskets, but he had learned some physical and chemical knowledge, he recorded some chemical numbers jù and physical numbers jù that he could still remember, and handed them over to Cheng Yu to be responsible for studying a few things that were extremely advanced in this era.
Smokeless gunpowder, reloaded artillery, and breech guns, and even Chen Mo was ready to use the river water in the valley to build a waterwheel machine tool, but this qiē had just begun, he had already taken out 100,000 taels of silver to let Cheng Yu be in charge of this matter, and he was going to conduct secret research near the capital, that was because even if he had no position, no one dared to provoke him in the capital, even if Kangxi wanted to investigate the matter, Chen Mo was also ready to deal with it.
To make stronger muskets and artillery, it is definitely not for Kangxi, he asked the controller, the scientific and technological weapons in reality cannot be brought to any mission world, and the firearms developed in the same mission world cannot be brought into other worlds, Chen Mo does not want finished products but technology, he only needs to be in this firearms industry closest to the modern world, and when he reaches other worlds, if he needs it, he can rely on these mature and easy-to-manufacture technologies to pile up his own strength.
Let Cheng Yu buy him this small courtyard by the way, Chen Mo not only wants to be clean, this is his first home in the Luding world, the gatekeeper Lao Tian is lonely and widowed, so it is difficult for others to inquire about things here.
"It turned out to be the master, the master is fine." Lao Tian shouted with a smile when he heard that it was the owner of this place.
Chen Mo shook his hand and smiled:
"Lao Tian doesn't have to be polite, I'll move in with Shuang'er tomorrow, you can clean up the two adjacent rooms for me, Brother Cheng, let's go to the living room to talk."
Lao Tian nodded and closed the courtyard door, Chen Mo and Cheng Yu entered the living room, and Chen Mo said directly without idleness:
"How's the firearms shop going?"
"The firearms workshop in the western suburbs is studying flintlock pistols and large artillery, it is still that Liu Ke is in charge, I found a group of craftsmen from other provinces to build a workshop in the valley and it will take a while to complete, you said that it is not a big place to study where it is, you let Zhu Neng choose a musket team and a cavalry team to guard nearby, and no one can enter without your order." Cheng Yu nodded and said.
"Well, in a few days, I will think of getting John Tang out of prison, and there is Nan Huairen, that gringo, my old Maozi can figure it out, and it is estimated that those things can be made in a year at most." Chen Mo smiled and said.
"Isn't it those things that Engong prepared for the Heaven and Earth Society?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.
Chen Mo shook his head and said:
"Brother Cheng, heaven and earth will be attached to the Zheng family on the island, if the Zheng family is not selfish, I don't care, but Zheng Jing and his two sons are not things, even my master has to be careful;
I won't let these powerful weapons fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives, maybe I'll pull a team alone when the time comes, but that's also a top secret, only you know about this matter for the time being, and you must not spread it. ”
"I understand that Cheng Yu's life was saved by Engong's master and apprentice, and he must do things well for Engong." Cheng Yu nodded and said.
"Yiqiē is still based on safety, if there is a crisis, blow up the secret workshop, destroy all the materials and leave, you can't leave a little news for the Tartars." Chen Mo said in a deep voice.
