Chapter 379

Originally, I thought that the steam engine could avoid rubber, but I didn't expect that it could not be avoided, and in the next ten days, Qin Xi tested a lot of materials, but the sealing was not good, obviously only rubber could be competent.

As for rubber, Qin Xi is not sure, even if the Qin army conquers Baiyue, there will be rubber trees in the south, after all, according to historical records, rubber trees were brought out of Brazil by colonists.

Qin Xi didn't think about skipping the steam era directly and studying electricity, but it was obviously impossible, because rubber was still an extremely important resource.

Qin Xi couldn't help but wonder if there were natural reasons for the inability to develop to the steam age in Chinese history, in addition to ideological reasons, after all, the rubber tree was a plant that had not been recorded in Chinese history.

In desperation, Qin Xi could only temporarily shelve the steam engine plan and instead develop something new.

If Qin Xi wants to know whether there are rubber trees or not, he has to go to the south, and the premise is to win this war quickly.

Qin Xi thought of a lot of ways to help the Qin army win the war quickly, but after deduction, he didn't feel very good. Even Qin Xi relied on his own understanding at home and researched the Zhuge Repeater with the help of the Mo family.

The Zhuge Repeater is a very good weapon, but the speed of the arrows consumed by the Zhuge Repeater is too fast, which is tantamount to increasing the logistical pressure of the Qin army, and now the biggest pressure on the Qin army to attack Baiyue is the logistical pressure.

Thinking about it, maybe only gunpowder could make the Qin army win quickly.

In the past few days, Qin Xi has been constantly entangled at home, and the whole person is unkempt and languishing, and he looks particularly haggard.

Bai Lu pulled Bai Muxue and said, "Sister Muxue, go and see what's wrong with him?" Are you sick, you have been so depressed for the past few days, as if you have lost your soul. ”

"He's sick with a heart, I'll talk to him." Bai Muxue sighed, on the first day of Qin Xi's life, Bai Muxue saw the situation, but he thought that with Qin Xi's character, it would be easy for him to heal himself, but he didn't expect it to become more and more depressed day by day.

Qin Xi was in the study, lying on the desk, listlessly rolling a brush, which was rolled bald by him, but it was a pity that he had a good brush.

Suddenly, Bai Muxue opened the door and walked in, but Qin Xi didn't even bother to raise his head, he just asked lightly, "Have you eaten?" ”

"I've just finished lunch." Bai Muxue came to Qin Xi's side, moved the pen in Qin Xi's hand aside, and then sat on the table.

"What's the matter?" Qin Xi asked.

Bai Muxue grabbed Qin Xi's hand and asked, "Do you have anything on your mind?" We're all worried about you. ”

"Is it obvious?" Qin Xi looked at Bai Muxue and asked.

Bai Muxue rolled her eyes and said, "It's almost written on your face, everyone can see that something is wrong with you." ”

Qin Xi sighed, leaned back in his chair, and said: "Alas, there are too many worries, I need the Battle of Baiyue to end as soon as possible, but at present, it is impossible for the Battle of Baiyue to end as soon as possible, if it is fast, there will be no fewer casualties, which is also what I don't want to see." ”

"Why do you want to end the Battle of Baiyue as soon as possible?" Bai Muxue asked.

Qin Xi rubbed his forehead and said, "The kind of thing I need may only be found in Baiyue, or even south of Baiyue, so I have to go to the south." ”

"Does it have anything to do with the thing you've been working on these days?" Bai Muxue asked.

"That's right." Qin Xi looked at Bai Muxue and said, "I have an urge now, that is, to take out the gunpowder and use it on the battlefield. ”

"Then use it." Bai Muxue said.

Qin Xi frowned and said, "But you have also seen the power of gunpowder, once it is used on the battlefield, how many people will be killed and wounded." ”

Bai Muxue grabbed Qin Xi's face and said, "Actually, whether you use gunpowder or not, the casualties on the battlefield will not change much, and even because of the appearance of gunpowder, the casualties of the Great Qin soldiers will be reduced." ”

Qin Xi was stunned for a moment, it seems right to say this, could it be that he has been walking into a dead end before?

Bai Muxue continued: "At that time, I really shouldn't have said anything more in front of you, but as a healer, I have to take these things into account. And you are not a healer, you are a prince, the first thing you have to consider is the soldiers of Daqin, just like me now, the first thing to consider is your safety, no matter who hurts you, I will let go of the heart of a healer. ”

Qin Xi stood up, directly picked up Bai Muxue's face, then kissed it fiercely, and said, "Mu Xue, you are really my virtuous helper!" ”

"It stinks, how long has it been since you rinsed your mouth." Bai Muxue rolled her eyes and said disgustedly.

"Hahaha! I'm going to wash up. Qin Xi smiled and rushed out of the study.

Bai Muxue shook her head, then sat down on the chair, brought paper and pen and wrote on the table.

By the time Qin Xi came back from washing, Bai Muxue had already written down the gunpowder recipe she had written down. Qin Xi looked at the formula on the paper and asked in surprise, "Do you still remember?" ”

Bai Muxue nodded and said, "My memory is already very good, I remember the formulas in those medical books at a glance, and this simple formula is easy to remember." ”

"Actually, I feel that Your Majesty should have gotten this formula a long time ago, but Your Majesty didn't tell you." Bai Muxue said.

Qin Xi nodded and sighed: "Of course I know this, when we experimented, the people who fought and the guards around us were all Daddy's secret guards, what we did, how did we do it, how could we hide it from him." ”

"Dad, he never made gunpowder by himself, and he asked me to come up with the gunpowder formula every time, just respecting me." Qin Xi smiled bitterly: "But I am a son, he is Lao Tzu, he doesn't have to do this." ”

"This also shows that Your Majesty really loves you." Bai Muxue said.

"yes!" Qin Xi sighed deeply and said, "Since you have decided to take out the gunpowder, then you have to study the use of this gunpowder carefully!" Whether it can quickly end the Baiyue First War depends on this gunpowder. ”

"Do you need me to accompany you to the trial?" Bai Muxue asked.

"No, you don't." Qin Xi scratched Bai Muxue's nose and said with a smile: "I'll reward you well when I come back tonight." ”

"Phew! Rogue! Bai Muxue blushed and spat Qin Xi.

Qin Xi walked out of the study with a smile, walked downstairs with a smile, and left the house with a smile.

Yin Ya and Bailu, who were watering the flowers in the garden, glanced at each other, and they were very puzzled, weren't they still depressed before? Why did you suddenly become so happy?

"Sister Mu Xue is amazing, she cured her son's heart disease so quickly." Yin Ya said.

Bailu nodded and said, "Sister Mu Xue is indeed powerful, but what kind of heart disease did he have, and he was cured so quickly, why don't we ask Sister Mu Xue?" ”

Yin Ya also wanted to know. The gossip of the two women came up at once, and after glancing at each other, they ran back.
