"This Zhao Nuye!"

Gongzi Gao thought that his brother Fusu was interested in the dancing girl, raised his eyebrows, and explained the origin of the dancing girl to Fusu with great energy.

Bad things can't be done, serious things are not allowed to be done, and the brothers of Fusu can only cultivate their sentiments.

Objectively speaking, Childe's high cultivation and personal artistic attainments are quite high.

In history, Hu Hai killed a group of brothers, and Gongzi Gao chose to die happily, so he saved his family.

"Zhao Nu?"

Fusu's brows jumped, and memories that had been sealed in the dust for more than ten years to the point that they were almost completely blurred began to emerge slowly.

"She's Zhao?" The corners of Fusu's mouth murmured slightly.

"It's Zhao Ren, ah...... No, it's all Qin people now! Hearing his brother's whispering, Childe replied with a high smile.

Fusu didn't speak, just stared at the dancing figure in the banquet and fell into deep thought.

Hu'er thought of Zhao Si, Daqin's recent up-and-comer with his bare hands, and his eyes flickered a little.

During the banquet, Gongzi Gao and Gongzi Jianglu were both appreciating and commenting on Zhao Nu's graceful dancing, only Fusu fell into silence without saying a word, and Gongzi Gao was unconscious, and was talking to his brother about the style characteristics of dances all over the world.

"Brother? Brother? Gongzi Gao looked at Fusu with a puzzled look on his face.

"Huh?" Fusu smiled, ignoring the awkward atmosphere.

"Why did my brother lose his mind?" Childe Gao said in confusion.

"Nothing...... I just thought of an old man. Fusu was silent.

Zhao Nu ...... Zhao Ren......

Fusu frowned, carefully calculating the time, and fell into deep thought.

And the other side......

Zhao Si came to the Craftsman Bureau in the Aviation Trade Military Government to test the progress and effectiveness of the work of the Craftsman Bureau.

Zhao Si strode forward, and Amber followed behind him, his head looking left and right from time to time to look at his surroundings.

All the departments in charge of Zhao Si attach the most importance to the Craftsman Bureau, and the number of inspections is the largest, and the big cat Amber has also been here a few times, so the people from the Aviation Trade Military Mansion and even the Craftsman Bureau are also familiar with this big worm that always follows Zhao Si's ass.

"Shangqing is here?"

Before Zhao Si walked to the craftsman's game, Liu Bi had already rubbed his hands and came out.

In fact, to the point where Zhao Si is reached, no matter what he says or does, there are people staring at him, but if he doesn't do special treatment, even if he visits suddenly, the foreign subordinate officials who are a few miles away from the Aviation Trade Military Mansion will know about Zhao Si's arrival in advance.

No way, big leader......

"Shangqing is here?" Liu Pi smiled and came to Zhao Si to salute.

"Amber seems to have grown up again? Can you grow longer if you are already a full year old? Liu Pi looked at the amber behind him with a little surprise.

Yes, like a hill.

Today, Amber is one-third larger than a normal adult tiger, and has already broken the world record for the weight of a tiger in the previous life.

Because he hasn't really fought, he's always been in a state of feeding, and his current combat effectiveness is unknown, but when he was messing around before, he once slapped a willow tree that was as thick as an adult's thigh.

When Zhao Si took amber in and out of the beast garden, the animals in the beast garden didn't dare to breathe when they saw the amber atmosphere, and herbivores such as war horses and cattle would be directly frightened to lie on the ground and tremble, and the birds were frightened away, and they didn't dare to turn back for a few days, as for carnivorous animals? Before they could smell amber, they had flocked to it for miles.

If you can tame a tiger like Amber on a large scale......

Well, it's impossible at all, Amber has always been unruly, only obeying Zhao Si's orders, and even Yu Ji didn't shake it, so the First Emperor was able to brush up Amber, and Amber always looked disgusted.

"It's getting longer, and I'm getting more and more able to eat." Zhao Si patted Amber's head.

Thanks to Zhao Si's great business, otherwise ordinary middle-class families would not be able to afford it, and the cost of raising an amber is even more than raising hundreds of elite soldiers.

Amber was patted on the head, glanced at Zhao Si, and lay down next to Zhao Si, stretched out her tongue and began to comb her hair, ignoring Zhao Si's dislike.

"How many people are there in the craftsman bureau now?" Zhao Si ignored Amber and asked.

"Now the total section ...... There are a total of 123 scientific researchers, a total of 685 craftsmen of all kinds, and there are files in it. Liu Pi asked.

"Let's see." Zhao Si nodded and followed Liu Pi to the place where the Craftsman Bureau stored the archives.

The personnel file is exactly the same as what Liu Pi said, which records the personal information of the people working in the craftsman bureau.

Among them, there are more disciples of the Mo family, a total of seventy-nine people, in addition, there are disciples of other schools.

The Mohists are professionally involved in scientific research, but other schools may not be without the existence of partial disciplines, and Liu Pi did not regard the Craftsman Bureau as a hall of the Mohists.

Zhao Si put down the personnel file and looked at the dazzling array of books and files.

"What are these?"

"This is to record the process and results of each experiment according to the instructions of the Shangqing." Liu Pi opened his mouth to explain.

"In addition, there are samples corresponding to the experimental records in the treasury."

Zhao Si opened the file.

The entry is the large character number, which is divided by the heavenly stem and the earthly branch.

The specific format is "Jiayi, Gunpowder ,......", followed by the subdivision of experimental types.

Zhao Si didn't rush to look down, he came directly to the treasury and found the experimental results corresponding to the sealing according to Liu Pi's guidance.

A wooden jar contained a pile of black rubbed powder.

The dossier records the power and specific proportions of the experimental gunpowder explosion, as well as the specific explosion performance of different amounts.

In addition, there are many experimental items corresponding to the dossier sealed in the treasury, among which swords, gunpowder, and farm tools are the most.

Several months have passed, and the Craftsman Bureau has invested in specific research and development for the two tasks handed over by Zhao Si, steel smelting and gunpowder firearms research and development.

Zhao Si nodded and returned to continue flipping through the file. It was not long before the latest progress and specific experimental process were found.

"The temperature required to melt iron is too high, and many methods have been tried at the moment, but it is still not possible to melt it, but at present, it has been able to effectively remove the impurities in the iron ore, but the smelting swords are still embarrassing and useful, compared to bronze, it is really far away." Liu Bi shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, you only need to be able to smelt iron tools that can be used for agriculture at the beginning." Zhao Si smiled and shook his head.

"It is not difficult to use agriculture, after removing impurities, it has been able to do no longer break easily, in addition to the forging problem, the rest is nothing more than mining, in addition to the process may also need to be streamlined, with today's forging method, the cost is still a little high." Liu Bi nodded.

There are too few high-quality iron ores in the Central Plains.

"In fact, now there are many areas where iron tools have been used for agriculture, but the level is uneven, the techniques are different, iron mining has not been popularized on a large scale, the craftsman bureau is a trick, and various methods have been tried, so the corresponding standards have been formulated." Liu Pi had a smile on his face.

Agricultural, in fact, the requirements are not very high.

It's nothing more than a kitchen knife, a hoe, a plow, and an iron pot.

"Well, the mining standard should be measured as soon as possible." Zhao Si nodded.

Formulate standards, unify production, promote civilian use, and then from the widespread application of civilian to gradually replace bronze weapons, from civilian to military is a great distance, but when iron tools are popularized in society, replacing bronze will become an inevitable.

"As for the artillery firearms, I don't have a clue yet...... Some samples were made, but the power of gunpowder could not be improved, and there was no way to experiment, so the firearms were temporarily stalled, and there was a small bronze cannon in the treasury......

As for gunpowder, the power has risen a bit at present, but it is still slightly insufficient, and the sound is relatively loud, but a jar of gunpowder can't even blow up a pig. Liu Pi had embarrassment on his face.

"Hmm...... Don't rush it. It is also useful to be loud, and it may also be effective against enemy cavalry on the battlefield. Zhao Si smiled and shook his head.

With the bronze smelting process of the Qin Dynasty, it must meet the standard of cannon casting, and the difficulty lies in gunpowder.

Even if you know the result and go directly to the process, it is not a day or two that can be pushed.

Science is a wonderful thing, and in the process of trial and error and cluelessness, maybe a casual match the next day is the most correct choice.

The overall development of science and technology is a matter of accumulation.

But the emergence of many technological products is due to some small accidents.

Maybe tomorrow with a small attempt, the high-power gunpowder will be made.

"In addition to the proportion, it is to pay attention to purity." Zhao Si spread his hands.

"It's already done its best to purify, and it should still be a matter of proportion." Liu Bi nodded.

"Go back and remember to cast another bronze cannon, by the way, how far can this bronze cannon fire?" Zhao Si asked.

"More than two feet ......"

Zhao Si blinked.

Well...... Isn't that any different from the second kicker that I put on the New Year?

But it doesn't matter, you can use this to draw a big pie for the First Emperor.

"Bring me the bronze cannon in the treasury."

Anyway, the power of gunpowder can't go up, and it's useless for the time being, so it's better to take the bronze cannon and paint a big cake for the First Emperor.

Zhao Si has already received letters from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Because of Zhao Si, the troublemaker of the traverser, Canghaijun, who made waves on the shore of the East China Sea and left his name in the history books, hit the street in advance.

Although Zhang Liang was not caught, he detected in advance the fact that Canghai Jun intended to contact filthy people at home and abroad to rebel.

The filthy people have been forced overseas by the Qin State and in the deep mountains and old forests, but through interrogation and interrogation, Zhao Si already knows that although the current filthy people group is still in a scattered state, the overall strength of the filthy people group has risen to a high degree.

This is thanks to the strong support of Canghai Jun and local nobles for the filthy people.

smuggling and selling, as well as all kinds of high-yield grain brought back by Zhao Si.

The combination of various factors has led to the accelerated growth of the filthy people, and the scale of the filthy people has increased a lot compared to history.

Although Canghaijun, who was able to call on the filthy people, was dead, Zhang Liang was still alive, and in order to prevent future troubles, Zhao Si simply put the filthy people in the strategic target.

Anyway, after having potatoes, Daqin will sooner or later develop the bitter cold zone in the northeast, coupled with the establishment of the Aviation Trade Military Government, Daqin has already been arranged in the coastal waters, and the future will not be able to avoid the group of filthy people.

Usually, the filthy people are scattered and widely distributed, and it is difficult to concentrate troops to focus on attacking, if Zhang Liang can guide the filthy people to take the initiative to attack this time, it will save a lot of effort for Daqin.

At least there is no need to fight away, the deep mountains and old forests are facing miasma, poisonous insects, water and soil, and they are looking for people fiercely.

To tell the truth, with the vast northeast region and the coastal sea, if the filthy people do not gather, even if Daqin is fully developed, I am afraid it will take one or two decades to completely wipe out the filthy people.

After taking a small bronze cannon from the craftsman's office, plus a jar of sealed gunpowder and projectiles, Zhao Si led Amber to the palace in a car.

After entering the palace, there was no body search, but Zhao Si took the initiative to report the specific situation to the palace people, and Amber followed Zhao Si to the palace.

Amber is also a big red tiger, although he is more perfunctory to the first emperor, but how can there be a macho man who doesn't love big cats?

Amber can enter the palace that is specially approved by the first emperor, but it is inevitable that every time Amber enters the palace, there are armor soldiers around.

Objectively speaking, although Zhao Si didn't bring any weapons, it was really simple to assassinate the king and kill him.

Zhao Si doesn't even need to make a move, Amber can do it directly......

"So Jing Ke's failure is that he is not strong enough!"

"How can an assassin win if he doesn't open Mushuang?"

Zhao Si's mind was chaotic, and he went straight to the hall where the First Emperor dealt with his daily official business.

"Minister Zhao Si, see Your Majesty!"

Zhao Si bowed and saluted, and the First Emperor just waved his hand calmly to signal Zhao Si to get up, and when Yu Guang saw Amber, there was a little more fireworks in his eyes, and he greeted Amber over with a smile.

Amber still pretended not to understand, and it wasn't until Zhao Si kicked him that he was forced to betray his hue.

Isn't this a kind of NTR......

It wasn't until the First Emperor was comfortable with the cat that he looked at Zhao Si with a smile while touching Amber's head: "Anyway, what's the matter with entering the palace this time?" ”

"The craftsman bureau has cast a cannon, which is specially dedicated to His Majesty, and in addition, there are some small things."

Zhao Si took the bronze cannon from the tray of the palace people on the side.

A hint of discoloration flashed in the eyes of the First Emperor, and he approached, looking at the bronze cannon in front of him with a little curiosity in his eyes.

"This is what you call artillery? It's a far cry from what I was dedicated to before. ”

On the birthday of the First Emperor, Zhao Si sent a lot of figures, including planes, tanks, and cannons, which were placed as ornaments on the case of the First Emperor.

"That's the minister's fantasy, like a rootless duckweed, difficult to realize, but this is a real thing cast by the craftsman's bureau." Zhao Si had a smile on his face.

"When the cannon goes off, it erodes for miles?" The First Emperor looked at the little cannon in front of him with scrutiny in his eyes, his eyes full of anticipation.

Obviously, the First Emperor still remembered what Zhao Si had bragged about before.

"Hmm...... That's also the expected effect, and now it's just the first attempt, so naturally it can't be eroded for miles. Zhao Si was a little embarrassed.

He himself didn't expect the First Emperor to remember himself so clearly.

"How's it powering?" The heat in the First Emperor's eyes faded slightly.

"Uh...... It's quite loud. ”

Zhao Si fell into an awkward silence.

(No one knows who will come first tomorrow or the unexpected...... Qin Yi is really good-looking...... ）
