"How did you detonate the bullets before that?"

Mr. Wenzhu opened his mouth and changed from a strategist to a science and engineering talent.

"That's it, let the firing pin rub against the flint on the surrounding inner wall to create a flame and send it in."

A warlock showed Mr. Fumiku what the bullet looked like, "But this is too wasteful of flint, but if the friction area is not large enough, it will not ignite." ”

"Your Highness has been asking us to find a smashing cannon that can explode at the touch of it."

Another warlock said, "I can do two kicks, after all, I played with a few children during the Chinese New Year." ”

They had just been excited to discover the recipe for the smashing cannon, but it wasn't long before they were disappointed by the rarity of the ingredients.

"And what if you mix some ordinary gunpowder into it?"

Mr. Fumitake asked, "If you just touch it, it will cause an explosion." So just put a little bit of material at the bottom of the bullet to ensure that it can explode, right? ”

"yes, but we haven't broken down much of this thing, and we don't know what made this nitrate explode."

The warlocks discussed and looked at the stones, and the smell of gunpowder filled the room.

"That's a problem, indeed."

Mr. Wenzhu nodded, very interested in this so-called "science".

"Wenzhu, aren't you okay?"

Ye Xiong smiled as he led people in.

"See Your Highness."

Everyone knelt down and saluted, and then continued their busy research.

"The new bullet is estimated to be a while later, and the material has just been found."

Mr. Wenzhu shook his head as he spoke.

On the one hand, he was interested, and on the other hand, Ye Xiong wanted to play with new "toys", so he came here to see the progress.

"Your Highness, is there something going on?"

Mr. Wen Zhu followed Ye Xiong to the ground and asked, surrounded by Gongsun Ling'er and Gongsun Ce.

"Mr. Wenzhu, I have admired the name for a long time."

Gongsun Ce said with a slight smile and greeted him.

"Gongsun is the only one."

Mr. Wenzhu also smiled and gave his hand, and the two blew each other's business.

Ye Xiong then asked Gongsun Ce to tell Mr. Wenzhu about the printing problem.

"This ...... It's a bit of a problem indeed. ”

Mr. Wenzhu frowned, if you want to publicize it like this, not to mention the paper, the engraving is also a big problem.

You can't do anything like that in advance and then issue a decree......

"By the way, I once heard His Royal Highness say that there seems to be something with movable type."

Mr. Wenzhu thought about it, and his vocabulary was rather vague.

"Movable type?"

"How can words live?"

Ye Xiong said and smiled, "It can't be that my son came up with something that can't be realized at all, right?" ”

I've heard a lot of outrageous things before, such as what kind of carriage can fly in the sky.

So when I hear the so-called movable type in front of me, I laugh.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has put a lot of mess in order to raise money."

Mr. Wen Zhu said with a slight smile, "But we have to do it too." ”

"Movable type, words are alive...... Does it refer to activity? ”

Gongsun Ce had indeed heard Ye Yu say some related things.

At that time, when he came back from the Jia Dynasty, he not only introduced himself to some interesting ideas of foreign people, but also told himself some interesting techniques.

The so-called movable type seems to be among them.

It's just that he had been busy with the affairs of the Commerce Bureau before, and he forgot.

Compared to Mr. Wenzhu's vagueness, he seems to remember more things.

The event was written......

"That's right for the word of the event!"

Mr. Wenzhu thought for a moment and said, "It's like a puzzle, if you can cut out each individual word, put it on when you want to use it, and spell out an article on the engraving, you don't have to work hard to carve it!" ”

The two thought about it and instantly understood.

"But what kind of material is used? If it is wood, it is easy to be worn, and if it is copper and iron, the cost is a bit high......"

Gongsun Ce continued to think about Mr. Wenzhu's words.

"Stone, stone carving, it shouldn't be very difficult, there are many craftsmen who can do it."

"Yes, and then just engrave at least a few engravings of all the characters...... It's also convenient to store and pick up according to the category......"

Once they came and went, they had an idea.

"The engraving will continue to be used for the time being, and I will let some craftsmen take care of the movable type."

"Actually, you don't need it, as long as you deduct all the words on the engraving plate that you have now?"

Ye Xiong suddenly thought, "Save materials and time, we just need to make a few boards that can be used to hold them, wouldn't it be good?" ”

With that said, the problem is solved!

"Brother Gongsun, have time to play with my old man."

When Gongsun Ce left with Gongsun Ling'er, Ye Xiong waved and said with a smile.

At the same time, Ye Yu finally waited for Cheng Wenyuan's return.

It was basically six days of waiting.

It took them more time to make a retreat than it took them to travel overnight.

"See Your Highness, the grass people are back!"

Cheng Wenyuan saw Ye Yu in the room, and his face was quite excited.

"Cheng Wenyuan, you came out later than us, what happened over there?"

Ye Yu nodded and asked.

"As far as the grass people know, the black tiger seems to have discovered something at that time, and it seems that it is about to run away."

"Before you run, let me come out first, saying that the city will be closed later."

Cheng Wenyuan reported truthfully.

"It seems that he really has the intention to turn it around, or use this to run away directly."

Ye Yu nodded, "It seems that he chose the latter." ”

"Since Steward Cheng has arrived, let's go?"

Liu Yuanshan said.

"It's time to go."

Ye Yu nodded, and with a wave of his hand, they were ready to set off immediately.

So more wagons were added to the front and back of their convoy.

In front is Ye Yu and them, and in the back is Liu Yuanshan.

As they passed through the checkpoint, the guards stopped them.

Who can watch such a large fleet swagger through the market?

There must be something to look into.

"What do you guys do?"

The guards guarding the territory of King Shun asked.

"We are merchants."

Ye Yu lifted the curtain and slowly spoke, "I want to transport a batch of goods." ”

"Merchant? Look at you guys, it's such a big convoy. ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy."

The guard spoke, his brow furrowed.

"It's none of your business."

Ye Yu's attitude instantly hardened, and at the same time took out the intelligence officer token he took from Black Tiger, "Let your chief see what this thing is, and then come back and talk to me." ”

With that, he threw the token out.

"Hey, I'm saying you're sick!"

"All come down and be checked!"

Annoyed, the guards pointed the arrows of their spears at the inside of the carriage.

"If you don't want to die, take a good look at what it is."

Ye Yu snorted coldly, pretending to be a high-ranking official of the Jia Dynasty.

"You'd better take a look."

Another guard on the side pulled the angry guard.

With that, the two guards picked up the token and returned to their chief.
