101 Communication
There is no doubt that the Napoleonic gun, which was the pinnacle of front-loading smoothbore guns, was far more powerful than the tubular gunpowder weapons that were still in their infancy in this era, so after Liang En demonstrated the firing of the artillery, Li Guerrilla immediately said that he would report to his superiors.
The next day, Liang En saw a general soldier of Ping An who had arrived with a few officers and several disciples of the Mo family wearing linen clothes and straw ropes tied around their waists.
In the face of these guests, Liang En once again rehearsed the artillery for everyone to see is believing, and then discussed the technical aspects with the Mo disciples while the group of officers were studying the artillery.
After only a few hours of discussion, Liang En realized that the children of the Mo family should be the most understandable group of people in the world who can understand machinery and industrialization, or at least some of the small group of people who can best understand the concept.
Liang En quickly changed his original plan, and quickly expanded the simple communication about the production and use of artillery to the exchange of steel smelting and mechanical engineering.
But what he didn't expect was that the Mo family's research on machinery and other aspects was much higher than he imagined, so that Liang En had to make up classes temporarily during the discussion in the next few days so as not to show timidity.
Luckily, the universal experience of the Luck Essence was extremely effective in terms of knowledge learning, so after consuming twenty-seven points of the Luck Essence, he had already eaten through the documents he brought, and even became an expert in this area.
He also realized that although this world looked very similar to the ancient times of his original world, the existence of extraordinary power made this world not as backward as he imagined in some aspects.
At least in terms of metal smelting and mechanical fabrication, the level of Mohist research is no less than that of the twenties and thirties of the nineteenth century in another world, but some key problems make their technology impossible to generalize.
For example, they had the means to produce steel on a large scale, but the smelting of the steel was more expensive than the hand-made by the craftsmen outside because of the need to use refining furnaces and samadhi fire.
For example, they also have a series of things similar to modern machine tools that can be used for machining, but the driving force of these things comes from spiritual power, so not only does the operator have to be a cultivator, but it also requires a lot of cultivation resources to be used.
From a certain point of view, this kind of seemingly advanced technology is the product of a powerful miracle like the Dimension Stone technology of the rat man in a certain game, and there is no universality at all.
After all, this is a world of extraordinary powers, and supernatural powers are as everyday as eating and breathing for those who are likely to be at the forefront of human research.
Therefore, after encountering all kinds of problems, they will naturally subconsciously look for extraordinary power to solve the problem, and then let the solution to the problem isolate ordinary people while solving the problem.
This is the core reason why cultivators were able to build mechanical computers comparable to early computers, and to create giant ships and even islands in the sky that flew in the sky, but ordinary people could only dig from the ground with their backs to the loess.
However, the knowledge that Liang En brought now from the untranscendent world just made up for the shortcomings in the foundation of the entire technical system, and pointed out a new direction for these Mohist disciples who were dedicated to studying in cultivation.
"Iron, steel, steam engines, artillery, bastions—"
After three days of communication, Liang En had free time to take stock of the knowledge he had exchanged in this exchange. After thinking about the results, he found that he seemed to have played a little too big this time.
Because if the knowledge he exchanged this time is combined with the knowledge about microorganisms that he exchanged with the Medical God Temple before, it is equivalent to bringing knowledge about the core part of the first industrial revolution by himself.
If these things are combined with the knowledge that the practitioners themselves possess today, they have enough knowledge to lead a real industrial revolution.
At the same time, after the end of the exchange, he obtained a full 3137 points of Qi Luck Essence, and the fact that he could receive three or five points of Qi Luck Essence almost every day after that, also proved from the side how much impact the information he handed over this time was.
"—let everything take its course." The more he thought about it, the more chaotic Liang En simply left this matter behind. "It's better to move forward than backwards, and these things are naturally plotted by meat eaters, so I just have to go with the flow."
After all, this is not a place that needs to be balanced, but a real world, so Liang En also wants to see where he can take this world after opening up by himself?
After five days of exchange, Liang returned his energy to the militia, especially the training of the artillerymen.
Probably because they were recognized by professional officers before, the militiamen were full of enthusiasm during the training during this time, and their attitude became much more serious than before. It's a pity that even so, their learning progress is still terrible slow.
Unlike muskets, artillery is much more difficult to operate, especially for tasks such as ballistic calculations, which require sufficient mathematical skills, which is really difficult for this group of militia who have just completed literacy.
Fortunately, Liang En and they are unlikely to have many artillery pieces in a short period of time, so Liang En, who spent two points of luck essence in a short period of time to learn how to fire artillery, can temporarily act as an artillery officer to complete the work related to artillery command.
But even so, Liang En still needs to spend a lot of time on literacy work, hoping to cultivate some talents, but fortunately, he has enough money and prestige to be able to make the selected people study hard with him.
"Sure enough, if you can't learn math, you can't learn it." A week after the start of the new artillery training, Liang En came to this somewhat dismal conclusion.
"Fortunately, there are about 20 people who are willing to learn and can learn mathematics now, and if you are based on this group of people, at least a few years of artillery officers will be enough—"
After correcting the math papers that everyone had done, Liang En, who now fully understood the mood of his teachers back then, walked out of the room to calm down, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard a sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
"Enemy attack?" After roughly hearing the number of comers, Liang En first looked nervously in the direction of his camp gate, but soon relaxed slightly.
After all, the war is over, and even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, it is unlikely that they will be able to gather hundreds of heavy cavalry, let alone the barracks next to it. But out of vigilance, Liang En still waved his hand and popped out the sword qi to ring the alarm bell.
In an instant, the originally quiet camp immediately boiled, and the militiamen closed the gate of the camp and arranged the antlers as soon as possible, while some of the vigilant sentries also quickly rushed to the battle positions and lit the fire rope.
After only a minute, the entire small fortress was fully in a state of battle. At the same time, more soldiers who had previously been out of duty began to complete the loading of ammunition and light the arquebuses in their respective positions.
After this period of training, these ordinary people already have the appearance of some soldiers, especially under targeted training, they have been able to complete the defense work more proficiently.
Of course, at this level at the moment, it is limited to defending in fortifications, and if they are pulled out to fight in the field, the true nature of the rabble will soon be revealed.
When the entire fortress turned into a wartime state, Liang En also stood on the wall and looked out. As a result, I saw hundreds of heavily armed cavalry running over the official road.
As they approached the camp, the cavalry slowed down and eventually stopped at the gate of the camp, where a herald in a teal-robed herald stepped out of the crowd and showed his token.
After confirming the identity of the other party, Liang En ordered the guard to be lifted and the camp gate opened, and then went to the barracks hall with several officials in the team and sat down as guests, and then one of the officials took out the holy decree.
"Mr. Liang, this is a decree from the royal family and the government hall, please receive the decree."
