244 New technologies
Ten minutes later, Liang En sat in the conference room of the research institute and looked through the thick dozen test records, and several Momen researchers and Ao Lei were waiting quietly on the side.
"You said that you have developed a special gunpowder that does not need to be ignited with an open flame, but can be ignited only by impact, and as a result, it caused an explosion when the experiment was not done properly."
"Yes." Mo Ming nodded. "It's just that there was a little bit of a problem with the choice of container, I didn't expect that thing to be so explosive, but fortunately, I have a defensive magic weapon on me-"
As a scholar who has been engaged in various studies for a long time, Momen has accumulated a lot of advanced research experience, so this kind of dangerous research is often held in some special places.
For example, the house that was blown up before was built with some cheap and lightweight materials to avoid secondary damage after the explosion.
As for the explosion that caused this explosion, it was mercury thunderate, or mercury thunder, a very widely used initiating agent, which was invented by some alchemy practitioners about 70 years ago.
But this time is different from the past, this time the greatest contribution made by the scholars of Momen is to start with the most basic raw material refining, adopt the method that can be used by ordinary people, and go through the entire synthesis process of thundermercury.
In the past few decades, for Momen and many Chinese cultivators, one of their most important tasks has been to gradually popularize those things that were originally only available to cultivators.
Of course, this process is very difficult, and from the airship, you can see the huge gap between the miracles that can be created by the cultivators of this world and the technical level of ordinary people.
Therefore, although the previous cultivators have achieved a lot of achievements, their progress has not been fast. After all, bridging this gap requires a lot of front-end technology.
Fortunately, the massive knowledge brought by Liang En after his arrival greatly solved the problem in this regard, whether it was industry, agriculture, military, medicine, etc., he brought a lot of basic knowledge.
This basic knowledge in the modern world is basically the basic knowledge of the first industrial revolution, and compared with the current state of world development, this knowledge is obviously much behind.
But for the ancient world, the knowledge that Liang En brought was a complete set of knowledge of the industrial revolution, which could not only meet the needs of the present, but also develop its own industrial system from this set of knowledge.
Although this may not have been seen before, with the construction and operation of the first factories, the imperial court has seen the importance of the whole system and the unprecedented power contained in it.
The only problem is that an industrialized society needs a large industrialized population to support it, and this is not an easy task for an agrarian society.
Therefore, when the first factories were built, the imperial court suspended the construction of factories and concentrated on more important issues such as personnel training.
At this time, there were already many handicraft workshops in Huaxia, so it was not as difficult as imagined to complete the transformation of practitioners, and at the same time, with the start of the operation of new model factories, more and more original factory owners were willing to transform and upgrade their workshops.
"So what do you know about the technology of mine mercury production now?" After shaking his head and shaking off the miscellaneous things in his mind, Liang En stared at Mo Ming and asked a little nervously.
"It's already ready for mass production." Mo Ming nodded seriously. "It's just that we haven't figured out how to use it yet, but it's been suggested that it could be used as a grenade or a mine ignition device."
"I have a great idea." Liang took a pen and paper from the table, and then drew a sketch of the later Mississippi M1841 fire cap firing rifle, artillery firing mechanism, and fire cap on the table.
After drawing these things, Liang thought for another two seconds, and then drew the structure of the early Colt pistol and Remington pistol, which used fire caps and black powder—the modern-modified ones, of course.
"Genius design, Bachelor, you came up with a genius design." After reading the mechanical structure drawn by Liang En, the scholars of the Momen all showed surprised expressions.
This is not because of how complex the whole design is, on the contrary, the mechanical design here can be said to be very simple, even simpler than the current flintlock pistol in terms of difficulty of manufacturing.
For example, compared to the current flintlock pistol bolt, the firing pistol bolt requires fewer parts, and the spring requires less elastic force, which is naturally easier to make.
"Can you get all the guns modified before the fall harvest?" After seeing that several Momen researchers had discussed about it, Liang En asked an important question.
He had already built a weapons factory with weapons maintenance in mind, so it was natural that he would be able to reequip his troops before the large-scale clashes in the fall.
As for training, it is not a problem, because the shooting methods of the two firearms are very close, the firing pistol is even simpler, and the combat effectiveness of the change of equipment will not be affected by the training.
"There shouldn't be any problem, your previous design is actually very easy to modify." Mo Ming said after writing on the paper and doing the math. "We are confident that we will complete the militia's firearms and artillery improvements on time."
"If you can help us, we can also produce at least 50 revolvers and more than 300 mines or grenades at the same time."
"I'll definitely help with that." Liang En agreed, after all, autumn prevention was the last difficulty for him to open up on this island, so he would naturally attach great importance to it.
"I thought you were going to retreat." After finishing the discussion and walking out of the room, Ao Lei stood beside Liang En and whispered. "After all, your cultivation has risen too much this time, and you need some time to stabilize."
"You're right, but I'm a sword cultivator." Liang En's face did not change, and said, "Retreat is indeed a universal way to adapt to one's own cultivation, but the way to adapt to one's cultivation is not only retreat. ”
"For me, for example, in addition to retreat, sometimes doing things can actually help me master the sudden increase in cultivation."
As an open-hook contestant, Liang En naturally prepared a set of very reasonable arguments to explain the obvious differences between himself and normal cultivators to avoid arousing suspicion from others.
But he didn't just prevaricate when he said this, as he inspected and walked around in the past few days, Liang En found that his mastery of power had indeed deepened.
After further research, he found that this was related to the fact that he himself had the authority of Beihai Island, and when he opened up this land of his own, the expansion of the civilization power in the land would also give him power.
The power of this feedback will not be reflected in cultivation, but in aspects such as comprehension, inspiration, and so on, which are inexplicable, and the acceleration of mastery of previously increased cultivation will naturally be included.
After discovering this, Liang En decided to devote himself to the preparation of the autumn harvest in the recent period, to verify whether he could improve his cultivation by dealing with the mundane things at hand.
