Chapter 104: The Age of Hot Weapons
Seeing the magic generator that had been perfected by himself, Wen Jiming was satisfied.
The talent and magic power I got today finally have a guarantee that I can put into reality the fantasy I have had since I crossed over.
He couldn't help but laugh when he glanced at Aristock, who was standing beside him, still looking at the magic generator in a daze, and patted Aristock on the shoulder, waking him up from his stupor.
Alistock stared at Wen Jiming's eyes and asked seriously.
"What did you just do, how did you solve all our problems at once?"
Wen Jiming patiently explained to Aristock.
"I got a magical talent the other day that can perfect the defects of matter and improve its function. As long as you look at the generator and the wires a little more closely, you can get this method of improvement, which I call reverse research. ”
Aristock perked up and said with great joy.
"It's a good way to do it, so you can get perfect research data and conclusions."
Wen Jiming continued to suggest.
"Don't put these wires on the ground, find some stakes or stone pillars, drive them into the ground and fix them, and then put the wires on them, like this."
After that, Wen Jiming picked up a pen, and then on a piece of paper, drew a sketch of the telephone pole for Aristock, and then drew a diagram of the power grid composed of electric wires.
Wen Jiming pointed to the picture and said to Aristock.
"That way, it's much safer, people don't get hurt because of leakage, and the grid doesn't go out because someone kicks off the wires."
After speaking, Wen Jiming explained to Aristock the principle of a complete set of power supply networks, including power supply systems, transmission systems, transformers and a series of knowledge.
Aristock listened for a while and finally understood, he nodded and said,
"I know the reason, it doesn't sound very complicated, besides, it's not you, as soon as you use the perfect skills, everything will be done."
Wen Jiming smiled happily after hearing this.
"I also think it's a great talent."
Aristock thought for a moment and asked.
"It seems that these problems will be solved soon, what is our next research topic, the teacher and I both feel that after studying this project, our promotion bottleneck has been loosened a lot, maybe a few more topics, the teacher can be promoted!"
Wen Jiming is amazing.
"It really works?"
Aristok nodded and said.
"That's right, the effect is obvious, and the teacher is very happy now."
What to do in the other world next, Wen Jiming thought about it seriously.
Now that the power is there, the next step is undoubtedly to work more on the mechanical side. Oil doesn't seem to be needed much at the moment, and Wen Jiming, a chemical company, doesn't understand it at all. It seems that it's better to come up with the same, and make one by one.
So, Wen Jiming organized his own language and said to Aristock.
"I don't think we're using magic enough at the moment, have you ever thought about using it in your life? For example, if there is machinery that can replace human weaving, wouldn't it be much more cloth to be produced? ”
"Also, now that we have completed the construction of houses and the production of weapons, we can use our magic power to make machines that can speed up efficiency and replace human labor. Magic cars can fly, and the kind of magic delivery that can carry more people is better. ”
"We high-level mages can open magic mirrors to talk to each other, wouldn't it be more convenient to create a magic communication device that ordinary people can use? These can be studied with your brain. ”
After Wen Jiming's enlightenment, Aristock's eyes instantly broadened, there are too many things that can be done in this way, and Aristock obviously feels that the prospect of being a full-time magician of magic items has suddenly become extremely ambitious.
Taking a deep breath, Aristock said solemnly to Wen Jiming.
"Wen, I feel that the world will be turned upside down because of you, and it is very likely that we will leave our names in history in the future."
Wen Jiming pointed to the wires on the ground and said to Aristok.
"This thing will be used a lot in the future, as well as light bulbs, first find a way to get a machine that can do this, and then build a factory to produce wires."
Aristok nodded in agreement.
"Yes, in the future, every household will be illuminated by lights, and there will be street lights on the streets, which will indeed require a lot."
At this time, Wen Jiming finally made up his mind, and he said to Aristock.
"You come with me to the academy, and I'll give you something to see."
At this time, it was completely dark, and the two took Wen Jiming's carriage and came to the Great Xia Vocational College together.
Wen Jiming took Alistock with him, and after walking into the gate of the academy, he didn't stop until he walked to the hunter training ground.
After the white light flashed in Wen Jiming's hand, a flintlock pistol appeared in his hand, along with an ammunition pack and a probe.
Wen Jiming, who had played this, was very proficient in completing a set of bullet procedures, and then raised his gun to aim at the opposite Wrigley.
With the roar of this first otherworldly musket, it represents the hot weapon that began to appear in this world!
To be honest, Wen Jiming didn't want firearms to appear too early in the other world, he knew that once this thing appeared, it would completely change the way of war in the other world, although this was a magical world.
But today, he finally convinced himself in his heart and made up his mind to carry out the changes in the other world to the end, leaving no more room.
Aristock looked at the large hole caused by lead bullets on the target a hundred meters away, and asked after a long time.
"It's so powerful, it's so loud! What the hell is this thing? ”
Wen Jiming handed him the flintlock pistol in his hand, and then said.
"You can try it too, this one is called a musket, and there are bigger ones called artillery, and that one is more powerful, and these alone are enough for us to study for a long time."
Under the guidance of Wen Jiming, Alistock fired more than a dozen shots in a row.
He took a closer look at the construction of the musket. Like Wen Jiming asked.
"There are too many things that can be improved here, at least the speed of shooting can be accelerated a lot, this principle is to use the combustion of this black powder to shoot this lead bullet out with the energy generated, right?"
Wen Jiming nodded and replied.
"Yes, and these things are easy to find, we have them on the continent of Saturn, sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal."
With that, Wen Jiming took out a few booklets from his storage ring and handed them to Aristock.
"You can read some of the things I wrote about this, and we'll go talk to the archmage tomorrow during the day."
Aristok nodded.
"Okay, I'll study it tonight, and we'll talk to the teacher tomorrow."
When Wen Jiming returned home, everyone had basically eaten dinner, Wen Jiming had to come to the dining hall alone, ready to eat casually, but found that the old man Wen Li and his nephew Wen Chengze were also eating in the dining hall.
Wen Jiming walked over, sat down next to them, and asked.
"You're just done, and you're only eating now?"
Wen Chengze replied first.
"Yes, uncle, why haven't you eaten yet?"
After Wen Jiming finished ordering food with the maid, he replied to Wen Chengze.
I went to your uncle's place and talked to him for a while, but the time was delayed. ”
The elder Wenli then asked.
"Lord, when you worship your ancestors today, did the ancestral gods say anything?"
"The ancestral god said, let me prepare the requisitioned gifts tomorrow, go to Jiang Yan's sect in a few days to agree on the marriage date, and then wait there until I get married."
The old man is the head.
"Okay, I'll go and prepare the gift tomorrow."
After eating, Wen Jiming dragged his tired body and walked back to his room.
Little Lola was already asleep, and after Wen Jiming glanced at her, he walked towards his big bed.
Zero followed him, reporting as he went.
"Karina and little Lola, they are much better now, and it is estimated that they will be completely fine tomorrow. It is said that after the lady finished eating, she also went to bed early. ”
Wen Jiming nodded and commanded her weakly.
"Let the little angels all come out to sleep, I found that they sleep in the magic book, and if you don't tell them, you can sleep for days, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."
Seeing that Wen Jiming was so tired, Zero answered, and then walked out of the door.
It didn't take long for Zero to walk in with Wen Jiming's little maid Ma Yuan, who combed his hair, and Ya, who was specially responsible for pinching Wen Jiming's feet, with hot water.
Ya reached out and took off Wen Jiming's shoes, and then soaked his feet in hot water so that Wen Jiming could relieve his fatigue.
After Zero took out Wen Jiming's magic book and knocked it a few times, the little angel and the little devil with sleepy eyes appeared in front of her in a trance.
Yuan went straight to bed, leaned Wen Jiming against his chest, and then began to massage his neck and shoulders.
After Zero arranged for the little angels to go to bed, he walked to the bed and asked softly.
"How's it going, how can you be so tired?"
Ya replied while pressing the soles of Wen Jiming's feet.
"The soles of my feet are already stiff, which means that I am almost numb after standing for a day."
Yuan agrees with Ya's statement.
"The neck and shoulders are also stiff, so it's best to call them all to help."
When Zero heard this, he turned around and walked out, talking as he went.
"I'll ask them for help, you take it easy."
After a while, all the witches arrived, and after everyone took off Wen Jiming's clothes, they then massaged him together, and tossed for half an hour before the stiff muscles of Wen Jiming's whole body relaxed.
And Wen Jiming himself has already fallen asleep.
The next morning, after Wen Jiming finished breakfast, he and Aristock came to the magic laboratory in Xincheng
When they arrived at the archmage's room, they found the old mage Giannis chatting with the archmage.
Seeing Wen Jiming come in, before he could speak, the archmage asked him directly.
"Wen, you've finally made the cut?"
"Yes, I made the cut the other day,"
The Archmage was very happy when he heard Wen Jiming's confirmation.
"Great, now I can finally rest assured."
After the archmage finished speaking, Aristock took the opportunity and hurriedly told him about the events of last night.
Without waiting for the archmage to speak, Giannis asked.
"Wen, I don't know much about doing business, but like electricity, there is no actual commodity to sell, how to do business?"
Wen Jiming began to share his thoughts with everyone.
"We're going to do this, and in two days the county will set up an electric power company, and then we'll open a power equipment factory to produce light bulbs and wires. Then the county government came forward to buy these products and improve the public lighting system of Xincheng and Chengdu. ”
"At the same time, those of us who take the lead in buying and installing lighting systems will set an example for others. The county government will design a reasonable price for electricity and then charge the electricity fee once a month according to the amount of electricity used, so as to generate a profit. ”
Seeing that everyone had no opinion on this kind of charge, Wen Jiming continued to express his ideas.
"When the profit is made, the county will give 5 percent to the Magic Research Institute as a monthly research fund, which we will call the patent fee. In the future, other inventions of the research institute will also be paid in this way. ”
"Of course, the 5 percent is set at a certain amount, and if it exceeds this amount, the proportion will be reduced."
Wen Jiming doesn't want to engage in patents too early because the conditions are not yet ripe, after all, these things are related to him, and if he really wants to calculate them, there is really no way to calculate them clearly.
Hearing Wen Jiming's proposal, the eyes of several mages lit up, and the archmage asked.
"This fee can be used to reward researchers, right?"
Wen Jiming recognized.
"That's right, there is no reason to let people just work and not take money, this money can be given a certain percentage of the money as a reward."
The archmage was a little pleased.
"If you do this, you can really do it and see how it works."
Wen Jiming began to make suggestions.
"I think it's okay to divide the researchers into groups and assign a project to each group, so that everyone can compete and work on multiple projects at the same time."
The Archmage couldn't agree more than with the proposal.
"Well, that's a good idea, otherwise hundreds of people working on one project would be too much. By the way, what is the musket that Aristock was talking about? ”
Wen Jiming did not answer the archmage directly, but asked Aristock first.
"How was your research last night?"
Aristock took out a few drawings, handed them to the archmage, and then introduced them to everyone.
"That's how I figured it out yesterday when I went back and studied his musket. I listed some improvements on the drawings, and I calculated that I could at least double the firing speed. ”
"There are still a few questions that I don't understand, so Wen, I hope you can make more different types of muskets, so that I can make a comparison."
Wen Jiming was a little entangled, thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind, first take out all the rear-loading needle guns, and the rest depends on the progress of their own research, if they can develop machine guns, it is also their own ability.
As a result, Wen Jiming's hand flashed with continuous white light, and more than a dozen various smoothbore guns from the nineteenth century on the earth, as well as rifles, appeared in front of everyone, and by the way, Wen Jiming made a few pocket watches and a table clock.
Several magicians asked at the same time.
"What are those?"
Wen Jiming replied indifferently.
"The clocks used to count the time are small ones that can be worn on the body, and the big ones are the ones that can be kept at home."
Aristock said with a smile.
"I have a premonition that I might get rich!"
Wen Jiming despised him and pointed at the muskets and said to him.
"If you can study these hot weapons well, you will make more money than those clocks!"
I don't know why, that sentence sounded in Wen Jiming's mind again at this time.
"I come, I see, I conquer!"
