Charcoal powder is not as good as graphite powder, the binder is not optimal, it is not sintered into an elongated cylindrical shape, it is not wrapped in wood, and although there are many things that need to be improved, it can still be used to copy notes temporarily, and it can be counted as a member of the "pencil" family.

The invention of the pencil did not arouse praise and widespread use, on the one hand, the literacy rate was low, and a group of farmers could not be expected to buy pencils and go home to paint on the walls to show the hidden talent of the artist; On the other hand, the literati like to pretend to be forced, and they all want to be followed by two slaves around the clock, one holding an incense burner with sandalwood, and the other holding a guqin.

However, the invention of this gadget has caused considerable changes in Lyle's life for the rest of his life - from an angle that he had not anticipated beforehand.

"Lyle, practicing calligraphy again?" Sun Shangxiang, who usually has nothing to do, came to pay tribute to the genius children again.

has met many times, and Sun Shangxiang has no shelves, so Lyle is naturally accustomed to it, and replied casually: "My mother is not here these days, how boring am I to practice calligraphy." ”

Huang Yueying nominally stays at home and teaches her husband and children, but she has been trying to improve the black powder, and once it has achieved results, she will immediately disappear all day long, and this is also the day when Lyle turned into a serf and sang.

"Yes, yes, the future Lord One Piece doesn't need to write well~" Sun Shangxiang walked into the house and didn't look at what Lyle wrote on the paper without looking, "Hey, what are you drawing?" ”

"Different kinds of cannonballs," Lyle said as he returned his attention to the paper and continued to write notes on his drawings, "but just take a look at it, and don't spread my stuff everywhere, it can't be done yet." ”

Sun Shangxiang laughed dryly, she would come to visit every few days, and several times she found some novel gadgets and showed them off everywhere. Some convenient gadgets are just that, to earn a good reputation for Lyle, but some things have been criticized as 'deviant', if it weren't for the fact that Lyle was young and ignorant, he would have been on the line to play text hell.

Although the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty have temporarily replaced many pedantic ideas with pragmatism, do not overestimate the ability of people in this era to accept new things, even if you look at it as a 'punctuation mark' that is beneficial and harmless, it will also be regarded as 'disrespectful to the sages'.

After laughing dryly, looking at the painting-like pattern, Sun Shangxiang was curious: "Why can't you make it?" ”

"The production process, production tools, and craftsmen are not technically up, at most one or two can be made through meticulous crafting, but this is meaningless." Lyle put down the brush and pointed to one of the very artistic patterns, "For example, this 'explosive bomb', the inside is hollow, filled with gunpowder, and after hitting the target, it will explode, and the container fragments will kill and injure enemies within range, which looks good, right?" ”

Sun Shangxiang shook her head decisively, she had followed Sun Quan to the secret training base of the artillery, and those who had seen the explosives package explode with their own eyes knew how terrible those black powders were, "It should be said that it is terrible." ”

"The county lord is right." Lyle nodded vigorously and said with a strange smile, "Especially if the craftsman doesn't make it well enough, this thing may explode as soon as it flies out of the barrel, directly killing the person who fired the cannon, it's terrifying, right?" ”

Sun Shangxiang made up the picture in his head, but couldn't laugh: "Uh, then let's use a solid bullet......"

"Solid bombs break through defenses, explosive bombs kill at a long distance, scattered bombs kill at close range, chain bombs cut off the main mast of enemy ships at sea to restrict movement, incendiary bombs burn buildings to create chaos, and poison gas bombs kill people invisibly, and they are used for different purposes." Lyle shook his head and said, speechless at Sun Shangxiang's lack of progress, "Now you can only fire solid bullets and scattered bullets, but it may not be necessary in the future, but there will be no mistake in developing iron and development in this direction." ”

Fortunately, the naval battle has solid ammunition enough, and the Han civil war is my-Lyle added in his heart.

Sun Shangxiang said: "...... I always feel that you are thinking too far, obviously just a child. ”

And it is very cruel, and there is no mercy at all-Sun Shangxiang added in his heart.

"Is there one? I think that after the invention of the cannon, it was all a natural result. "It's not that Lyle is proud, but the most difficult thing to think about is the point of 'using the explosion to launch a projectile', and the follow-up improvements are easy to think, but it is difficult to implement," then again, what is the matter with the county lord coming over today? Going hunting? ”

"I think about hunting every day, and I can't even ride a foal!" Sun Shangxiang slapped Lyle on the back of the head angrily, and he was this kind of person who was vegetable and fun-loving, "I'm here to inform you that the person you want to see the most is coming to Jiangdong." ”

》》》》》》

When Gan Ning was young, he did not do his job, gathered a group of light teenagers to kill people and kill people, loot property, and was called "Jinfan Thief".

He is rude and fierce, irritable and murderous, and likes a luxurious and wealthy life, but he is cheerful and bold, brave and resourceful, despises money, respects scholars, treats subordinates well, and is deeply supported by his subordinates.

Later, his prodigal son turned back, studied the theory of the hundred schools of thought, entered the official career, and successively took refuge in Liu Biao and Huang Zu, but in the end he was not reused because of the cause and effect planted in the past. Even if he shot Sun Quan for Huang Zu in the early years, he still can't be reused, and he wants to abandon it, but there is no perfect way, so he can only be sad and depressed alone, and there is nothing he can do.

But just recently, Jiangdong Sun Quan sent a fine to invite him to switch to Jiangdong, and the conditions put forward were ...... It sounds a little weird, but it's definitely for Ganning! Gan Ning, who was already worried about the way out, could only take a gamble and gather his troops to secretly flee Jingzhou.

"You're Lyle?" Not long after arriving in Wu County, he saw his future boss, and his face turned green all of a sudden.

It's a ten-year-old ghost!

Lyle looked up and down at the person who brought him the idea of going to sea, and frowned slightly: "You are Gan Xingba?" It doesn't look like it. ”

Gan Ningle said: "Hey...... What do you think Gan Xingba should look like? ”

"Wilder looking? Also wearing brightly colored silk clothes? Lyle said the image of the 'water thief' in his brain in the past, "But it doesn't matter, someone should have talked to you about it, we will lead the pirate fleet to explore the sea in the future, right?" ”

“…… That's what I said. Gan Ning regretted switching to Jiangdong at the moment.

But.

"I'm going to explore the outside world of Dahan, and I'm going to try my best to learn the knowledge needed for navigation and understand the changes in the sea until the situation in Jiangdong stabilizes and I can build enough ships to sail far." Lyle's stubbornness was mixed with a bit of fanaticism, "As for how to fight at sea, how to command troops to go ashore to capture slaves, and even turn a weak country into a pigsty serving Jiangdong, that is your duty, General Xingba, and I will not interfere." ”

“！” Gan Ning was stunned, and the contempt in his heart disappeared.

He only met Lyle today, but he still knew one thing - this imp was no ordinary imp.

"I guess you're not used to life in the army and the career of an official, so why don't you become the One Piece of Megatron with me!!"
