But fortunately, Zhou Yu has always been informal on weekdays, and never asks his family for any dining etiquette. But from this point of view, it seems to make sense why the dignified King Yu can become friends with a commoner.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the north is more hearty than lunch, and most of the good dishes are saved for dinner. But in fact, the real thing is not the meal, but the activity after the meal.

Wenguo doesn't have any Spring Festival gala, and the activities of each family are just New Year's celebrations and the like. But Zhou Yu is different, in his previous life, he knew since he was a child that fireworks would be set off on Chinese New Year's Eve, and if he couldn't hear that sound that night, he wouldn't even be able to sleep. So he made a batch of fireworks and hid them at home more than ten days ago, all in preparation for tonight.

"I said, didn't this fireworks have to wait until the Lantern Festival? How come you are ready for the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve? Chen Jin picked up the bamboo tube and looked at it.

"My family's custom is to set off Chinese New Year's Eve, not only fireworks, but also firecrackers!" Zhou Yu brought back the guards who chased the wind and handed it over to the palace. After all, it's a cannon battle at home, and if it's too close, I'm afraid it will frighten Chasing the wind.

"I think your fireworks here are a little different from those in other places? Where did you buy it? Chen Jin felt that the appearance of the thing in front of him was a little blind.

"Bought it? You can't buy it anywhere else! I made it myself, and the fireworks worked so much better than the bargains outside! Sending away the chasing wind, Zhou Yu clapped his hands and said.

"Do it yourself? Would you still do this? After Chen Jin said this, he suddenly regretted it. Zhou Yu didn't know about these strange things for the first day, but it was a bit redundant to ask now.

"What's it like to be a firework? I can make a bomb if I want! Zhou Yu didn't lie, before making this batch of fireworks, he did make a few improvised bombs, in order to eliminate the tiger hole on the mountain outside the West City Gate in one fell swoop. Several explosives were thrown into it, and four large insects were killed on the spot. The tiger fighting team specially set up by the Yongping County Ya picked up a bargain, went in and carried a few tiger carcasses and handed over the errand.

The captain of the Tiger Fighting Team also wondered, why did this big worm all die in the hole? And the death was miserable, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and there were traces of the tiger's fur being scorched by the fire, which was really strange. But if you want to report it, you have to find a reason, right? So the captain said to Fan Qingyun that the people in their team pooled money to invite a master, and the master used the method of five thunders to suppress the big worm, and the big worm was killed by the thunder, so the corpse appeared in these strange ways.

Fortunately, people in this era are still in a state of superstition about this kind of superstition, and Fan Qingyun didn't doubt the captain's statement too much, so he asked the master to allocate some reward money to them and sent them away.

"What is a bomb?" Chen Jin is very interested in this new word, although he doesn't understand it, but he looks very powerful when he hears it!

"Well...... The bomb is an area-of-effect weapon that you may not have seen before. Zhou Yu said simply?

"Weapons of range destruction? What does this mean? Chen Jin likes to listen to Zhou Yu say these things that he doesn't understand.

"Let's take a simple example, if this is a bomb...... Zhou Yu picked up a firecracker and demonstrated: "Put him in this place, then draw a big circle around it, and the people and things in this circle will be affected by it." Theoretically, all else being equal, the closer the distance, the higher the damage that may be done, and if a person stands next to a bomb, he may be blown into seven or eight pieces! ”

"Is it so powerful?" Chen Jin asked in surprise.

"Of course!"

"So can this bomb only blow up one person or a group of people?"

"A group of people, of course! As I said, as long as you are in this circle, you will be affected, and there is only a difference in the degree of damage. Those who are close may be torn to pieces, and those who are far away may also be mutilated. But in fact, the lethality does not mainly depend on the bomb itself, but the shrapnel that bursts out from its explosion, which is the real killing weapon! Zhou Yu patiently popularized science, probably on such a festive day, his patience value is rarely so high.

"And what is shrapnel?" The more Chen Jin listened, the more fascinated he became.

"Take this firecracker, if it's a bomb, then there's not just gunpowder in it, there's a lot of iron sand or small steel balls or something. When the explosion occurs, the iron sand and steel balls in it will be sprayed out at an extremely fast speed, as if hundreds of hidden weapons are fired around in an instant, who can stop this? And the power of the explosion is much more powerful than that of hidden weapons! Of course, if you don't fill it with something, you can also wrap it in a layer of iron sheet on the outside of the explosive, and the effect of detonation is similar. These pieces of iron sand or iron sheets are shrapnel, and they kill people without blinking! Zhou Yu said with a smug smile.

"Oh my God, if there really is such a divine object, then wouldn't my Wenguo be invincible?" Chen Jin suddenly had a beautiful yearning.

"Hmm...... You can't say that you are invincible, you can't lose ninety percent of the battles anyway! Zhou Yu estimated it and said, after all, using a hot weapon to fight a cold weapon is simply a dimensionality reduction blow, although it can't win, it's unlikely to lose.

"Great, I'll give my father a letter to repair a ......letter immediately" Chen Jin was about to get up excitedly, but was pressed down by Zhou Yu.

"What are you doing with books?" Zhou Yu asked vigilantly.

"Tell him about the old man's bomb, of course! With this bomb, what are I still afraid of in Wenguo, what kind of Qianguo Wei State, and it is not a dream to dominate the world! Chen Jin was already indescribably excited, but Zhou Yu still held him back, just not letting him pass on the news.

Chen Jin looked at Zhou Yu with puzzled eyes and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's not time to make this thing public." Zhou Yu said seriously.

"Why?"

"One, this thing is very cumbersome to make, it takes a long time to make one, and I don't have so many people here; Second, there is a high danger in making this kind of thing, maybe you will blow yourself up that day; Third, the current process is not mature, I still have to improve and improve, if it is done according to the current state, maybe the gunpowder will be dumb in a tide, and this storage is also a problem; Fourth, this weapon is very new, and at present, China's armed forces are not familiar with the methods of using this weapon and the tactics that match it, and the hasty equipment cannot play a good role; Fifth, if the enemy country knows that we have such a terrible thing, it will definitely unite against my Dawen. At that time, not many bombs have been produced, and the quality cannot keep up, and people from the north and south and even Tibet will come in, what should we do? To sum up, this thing is not available yet! Zhou Yu said with a serious face, Chen Jin could see from his full reason and firm eyes that he was by no means joking, but had thought about it very carefully.

Chen Jin really wanted to do something for Wenguo, but he was not an unreasonable prince, as soon as Zhou Yu said this, he slowly calmed down, and then asked, "Then why do we need to use it when we can?" ”

"At least we won't be able to make it available until I've improved it, but even then, we'll have to determine when it's appropriate to be on the battlefield." Zhou Yu said something that Chen Jin didn't understand.

What does this mean? As long as the improvement is completed, it can be used on the battlefield! Chen Jin played his tendon characteristics again.

Zhou Yu looked at him like a mentally retarded person and said, "If you are asked to lead the troops to fight, you have to lose to your grandmother's house!" ”

"Why?"

"After the war is launched, the key to determining whether the war is won or lost is whether the strategic goal is achieved, as long as the strategic goal is achieved, it is considered a victory, followed by the degree of loss of personnel and materials. For example, if our strategic goal is to defeat the Qianguo army, then there are two ways for us to win: The first is to directly defeat the opponent on the frontal battlefield and eliminate the living forces of the Qianguo army, so that we can naturally accomplish our strategic goal. The second is to send assassins to assassinate the generals of the Qianguo army, and without the person in command, their combat missions and strategies cannot be issued, and the Qianguo army will not attack and defeat itself, so that the strategic goal can be achieved, and we can also achieve victory. Then now I'll test you, once the two sides really fight, which way do we choose? Zhou Yu began to ask questions to the students like a teacher in class.

"Hmm...... This ......" Chen Jin thought for a while and said: "It should be better to defeat Qianguo head-on, let's kill his Qianjun directly, and he will no longer be able to go against my Wenguo!" ”

"Then have you ever thought that if you use this plan, how many soldiers of our Wen Congress will die on the battlefield? If we win in this way, even if we win, the price we pay will not be too small, if Wei State comes from the north at this time, what should I do? ”

"This ......" Chen Jin was in trouble and scratched his head.

"If at this time, the Tibetan army comes out of the plateau again and intrudes on my Dawen border, what should we do?" Zhou Yu continued to ask.

“…… Then choose the second option and send assassins to kill the other party's commander! Chen Jin couldn't answer Zhou Yu's question, so he began to change his thinking.

"To put it lightly, the dignified commander of the three armies must be stationed in the camp of the Chinese army, how tightly defended is it, how can he let you kill him casually? Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the assassination is really successful, the Qianguo army is forced to retreat, but its vital force is still retained, and they will still be a huge threat to our country when they make a comeback in the future! So now do you still think you're on the right track? Zhou Yu snorted coldly, obviously he had expected that Chen Jin would re-elect the second option.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then this battle really can't be fought?!" Chen Jin said angrily.

"To know whether the war can be fought or not, you must first understand why it is fought. War is the product of irreconcilable economic contradictions, that is to say, the launching of a war must be a huge conflict of interests between the two countries, and the reason why we did not fight with the Qianguo and Wei countries is because the current situation is not enough to reach that point. If you casually block the fate of a country, that's something that only a faint king can do. The reason why His Majesty does not fight with Qianguo to the end is because his old man knows this, and the ministers of the DPRK and China also understand this, but you are the only brainless person who always thinks about fighting, just fight, and nothing else understands! Zhou Yu counted Chen Jin a lot, and Chen Jin had no power to refute what he said, because he had to admit that what Zhou Yu said was very correct.

These things are very clever and dry truths, and even his father is rarely able to summarize such concise and profound language.

"Seriously, I don't think it's too much to be a man in the military department according to your talents!" Chen Jin sighed.

"Phew! Just want me to condescend? Dream on! Can Hyobe Langchu make a bomb? Can Hyobe Langzhong know when to fight and when not to fight? How can this son's talent be compared to a small man? Zhou Yu began to pretend to be b again.

"Okay, after two years, when Liu Xiang begs for the bones, I will recommend you to my father to be the left prime minister of Wenguo!" Chen Jin glanced at Zhou Yu and deliberately soured him.

"Just you? Do you think you're a god, Chrysostom? If the prime minister of Wenguo lets a young man in his twenties do it, I'm afraid it will make the world laugh and lose his big teeth! Besides, I don't have much interest in that kind of thing, I can guard two good wives and have two acres of fertile land, so I can live a good life, but being an official or something is still too complicated, I can't do it......" Zhou Yu waved his hand again and again, refusing Chen Jin's unwarranted ridicule.

"Didn't you say that you have to be at least a prime minister?"

"I'm kidding!"

“…… So when exactly will this bomb be used on the battlefield? ”

"Wait until you have to use it or when Wenguo is ready."

"What does that mean?"

"You'll understand later......"

It happened that Feng Yue and He Shuiling were busy with their business and came to the courtyard, and Zhou Yu immediately lit a firework.

The sound of "bang bang bang" sounded, and colorful patterned fireworks bloomed in the sky.

Everyone in the house walked out of the house to enjoy the splendor of the night sky.

"It's so pretty!" Chen Jin couldn't help but sigh.

"It's so pretty!" Feng Yue and He Shuiling snuggled up to Zhou Yu's shoulders left and right.

Chen Jin suddenly felt that this fireworks didn't seem to be so good-looking......
