Chapter 4 The Legend of the Cat Ghost (40) - Transformation
βββ
In fact, compared with the first three drawbacks, Chris focused on the last one. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info She racked her brains to wonder, how can those modern universal fire extinguishing tools be made practically in this era?
"I already have some ideas, so I'm going to take a few days off work and work on a new fire extinguishing device," she said. β
"You?" said Jianyan, looking incredulous.
"Don't make up your mind so early, I will definitely come back in a few days, and then you will see my results and make a decision. At that time, if you still think I'm lazy, I'll admit punishment!"
"You said it yourself!
"I won't dodge!"
Jian Yan thought about it, and finally nodded. After that, they went out of the snack shop, and the proprietress took them to the door.
Jianxi rode on the black horse trail and left, and Chris and Xiong Daiying also went north.
Naturally, they returned to the northern suburbs of the courtyard, which was under construction. This is why she later asked Shen Kuo and Li Gonglin to come to the house and ask about the fierce fire oil tank, even she didn't expect it, and there was an unexpected harvest during the process.
At this time, several people in the pavilion surrounded the copper cabinet brought by Shen Kuo.
After listening to Shen Kuo's lecture, Li Zhiyi and Hu Shuxiu knew that this was a weapon.
Chris said in his heart: If I hadn't read "The General Essentials of the Martial Arts", I would never have imagined that this was a "fierce fire oil tank"!
She remembered that on the first night she returned to the northern suburbs, she had been trained by Lang Kesu's "New Course", and she knew that the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" was a book, an encyclopedia of ancient weapons about the Song Dynasty and the dynasties before the Song Dynasty. That night fire, when I first saw oil, Xiong Daiying also mentioned it, which shows that this military book is a must-read for contemporary martial arts practitioners.
Another point is that it is said that this book was compiled by order of Emperor Renzong, and one of the two ministers in charge of compiling it was Zeng Gongliang. It was the one with the highest official position among the several adults Chris had seen in Yuxian Tower a few months ago. However, the reason why Chris was deeply impressed by Zeng Gongliang was because such a big official was a miser who even had to rub a meal, and she couldn't help laughing when she thought of this.
When Zhang Ruoshui found "The General Essentials of the Martial Arts", he found that it was really an encyclopedia. There are two parts, each with twenty volumes, and they are as high as a hill. Chris looked through it, and there were weapons, the art of war, and ancient and modern combat examples. After reading a little, Chris thought to himself: people can't look good, and the sea can't fight, I didn't expect that the "master of the door" would be so good at weapons and write such a book.
Li Zhiyi asked worriedly: "Lord Shen is from the government, which makes sense, but Brother Ouyang, you are so decent...... You...... Why did you become interested in weapons?"
Chris didn't answer, but asked, "Uncle Duan, do you know that there was a fire in Xicheng a while ago?"
"Who doesn't know about this in the capital?" Li Zhiyi said, "That night, the west of the city was blazing, and the sound was like thunder. My wife and I woke up in fright, and when we got up to look, we saw that the sky in the west was reflected red. β
Hu Shuxiu also nodded and said, "The common people say that this is a sign of the wrath of the Red Emperor who holds the fire. In the past few days, they spontaneously went to the altar of Huo De Zhenjun to make sacrifices. β
"That's not the case!" Chris shook his head and said, "I won't hide it from you...... In fact, the fire was ignited by the fierce fire oil, and someone set it on fire. Therefore, the fire can be more violent and difficult to extinguish when it rains heavily. β
"Someone set it on fire?"
Li Zhiyi looked at Ouyang Feng with wide frightened eyes, and then looked at Li Gonglin and his wife. The expressions on everyone's faces froze.
Who dares to set fire to the suburbs of the capital, and moreover, it uses this kind of "fierce fire oil" that ordinary people can't reach at all?
Li Gonglin suddenly interjected and asked, "Could it be that the arsonist also used such a killing weapon to create a fire in the western suburbs?"
Chris was slightly startled, glanced at Xiong Daiying, and said in his heart: It's not impossible to have such a possibility. Go back and let the sword shop check it!
After everyone calmed down a bit, Chris spoke: "Kaifeng Mansion did not announce this matter to the public, probably tracking down the arsonist. I heard this from a friend who knows me well, so I ask you to keep it secret!"
Everyone nodded and said in unison, "I'll keep my mouth shut." β
"Hearing such rumors, I became interested in the fierce fire oil, and I had a lot of puzzles, so I asked Lord Shen for advice. Chris continued, "When I asked Lord Shen, I learned that he named this fierce fire oil 'oil'. And this flamethrower can be made from oil. It just so happened that Lord Shen also tried to transform it, and I thought it was interesting, so I studied it with him. β
Shen Kuo pointed to a copper pipe placed horizontally on the copper cabinet, and said: "I modified the 'Pump Tube' according to the design plan given by Ouyang Gongzi, and the range has been increased from the previous 18 feet to 10 zhang. β
"That's good!" said Chris.
Listening to the two of you and I discussing one by one, the other three people couldn't interject at all. Although they read a wide range of books on weekdays, they know nothing about military affairs.
It's just that Li Zhiyi, Hu Shuxiu and Li Gonglin learned that this matter was related to the previous fire, and when they looked at this fierce fire oil tank, they felt a little chilled.
Chris saw that their faces were not good, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, in fact, this thing is no longer a fierce fire oil tank, on the contrary, it is now a sprinkler fire extinguisher." β
"Squirting?"
"Extinguishing the fire?"
Chris said: "With just a little transformation, the killing weapon can also become a life-saving magic weapon!"
"Actually, it's useless to talk too much about it, show them a little and they'll understand. Shen Kuo leaned over and took out a long string of leather pipes from the wooden box and asked, "This is a water pipe made of horse skin according to Gongzi's instructions." I just don't know where to get water?"
Chris said: "It was raining yesterday, and it stopped today. There is enough rain from the 'Shiting'!"
Xiong Daiying placed the leather pipe in the cistern on the edge of the pavilion, where all the rainwater collected, and then used a water wheel to send the water down the leather pipe.
There is a hole next to the copper cabinet, the reel is the mouth, open the mouth on the small cover, and then connect the skin tube, you can inject water.
When Chris read about the "Fierce Fire Oil Tank" in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", he found that it was very similar to the modern flamethrower. The transverse pump is connected to the oil tank and can be filled with oil. A part called the "fire tower" is installed on the front of the cylinder, and the gunpowder contained in the fire tower is ignited to cause high temperatures inside the fire tower. Pull the pump, the oil is ignited through the fuel injection channel, and then spit out the flames from the fire tower spout, which can kill and injure the enemy.
The illustrations on the book are exquisite, and the parts are depicted in great detail. The more she looked at it, the more she felt admiration, and exclaimed exquisitely. However, Chris is more concerned about the "pump" part than the Spitfire.
Chris said: It should be its mechanical movement that produces compressed air, which turns the entire oil tank into a hydraulic cylinder.
Suddenly, she had an idea and immediately ran to find Mo Dai and Dugu Liangxi.
She showed the two masters the white sketch of the "Fierce Fire Oil Tank", and they were no strangers to such a structure. For example, Dugu Liangyi's wooden armor people use hydraulic parts at the joints, and there are also many pneumatic parts on the Mo family's mechanism Feiluan, in short, the mechanisms made by the two of them have similar applications everywhere.
Chris was overjoyed and shot herself in the head, why didn't she think about it sooner!, and then she asked for a new mechanismβa machine car that could produce high ram.
For the two Trap Masters, the right thing to do for them right now is to design a large mechanism with a complex structure and the power of the Secret Stone. And when they heard Chris explain the purpose of the machine, they became even more curious. It is said that the whole wood is cut into very trivial pieces, mixed with special rubber powder, and then the broken wood is compressed into slender strips with this kind of machine. Finally, it is the big house in Ouyang Feng's mouth that will be built with these thin wooden strips. Both of them drew a question mark in their hearts, instead of building a house with whole wood, they would chop up the wood and put it back together, wouldn't it be in vain?
Chris explained, "The biggest advantage of this is fire and heat insulation!" she said that this was the solution she had come up with after hearing about the fires in the western suburbs a while ago. If the new houses in Bianliang City are built with this kind of wooden strips in the future, it can reduce the occurrence of fires and recover the losses of the people.
At this time, Dugu Lianghui had already learned from Zhang Ruoshui about the Empress Dowager's other identity, "Lan Yuanxiao," and he was surprised that he didn't know how to describe it! The Empress Dowager's golden body actually pretended to be a palace man and went out of the palace in private? He was familiar with the news of officialdom, the people, and even the martial arts, all of which were reported by secret agents, and there was also "Listening to the Rain Pavilion" Information trading, the Queen Mother can know the affairs of the world without leaving home, and the Five Buddha Hall has a large number of people, widely spread all over the world, any affairs only need to be ordered to have subordinates to handle it wholeheartedly, and there is no need to bow down to everything, so he is very puzzled by the Queen Mother's approach. However, when the recent incident of "Lord Xiaolan" supervising the firefighting was linked to the "Queen Mother", Dugu Lianghui suddenly discovered that the Queen Mother was really personally inspecting and secretly visiting, observing the people's feelings, and racking her brains for the fire prevention affairs of Bianliang City! He suddenly felt that he could not understand the Queen Mother more and more! If he was the master of the Iron Buddha Hall, he would not dare to imagine that the Queen Mother would do such a thing.
Is this too weird?
Brother Ruoshui has always been obedient to the Queen Mother, but the Lord Lan in the palace is afraid that he will not let the Queen Mother do these things like this, right?
It's not just weird, it's not just weird!
This question bothered him for a long time, but then he suddenly figured it out again. He secretly said to himself, since this is for the benefit of the people, why bother to investigate?
As for Mo Dai, she already admired Ouyang Feng very much, but now that she heard that it was a major event to save the people, she was naturally duty-bound. The design drawings of the machine were quickly finalized, and the real thing was made overnight.
After the bluestone slabs inlaid with copper pipes were paved, the wooden strips were also pressed and formed, and they were piled up on the edge of the construction site one by one. On the construction day, Mo Dai and Dugu Lianghui both went to the site to watch. They just watched, didn't meddle, didn't speak. I saw that the children of the Mo family, under the command of Chris, built up the wooden strips like building blocks. The final product is far from the "pavilion" they imagined. But Mo Dai and Dugu Lianghui are by no means ordinary characters, and they can naturally distinguish the subtleties to some extent.
However, they value Chris's leadership in the whole thing more than the peculiar "Time Pavilion". This is also an important reason why in modern times, Chris was able to create the miracle of Lancer and succeed in one fell swoop.
Controlling the overall situation is one of her best abilities.
Don't look at it, it only took three days to build the pavilion, but this matter was conceived, brewed, planned, prepared, and executed...... Every step of the way needs to be considered holistically and arranged as a whole in order to be successful. And she did it perfectly.
Before, Chris came up with some whimsical ideas from time to time, or could draw one or two wonderful drawings, which were just small carving skills in Dugu Liangxi's eyes, and could not win enough convincing. really witnessed Chris's completion of the project of building the time pavilion, but Dugu Lianghui had his own entry point. He likened the whole process to a unified army fighting a war. From the selection of generals, the establishment of troops, weapons and equipment, and logistical support, to the marching formation, the survey of the terrain, to the pre-military command, tactics and strategies, and finally the lightning operation, the siege of the city and the annihilation of the enemy to win.
It seems to be done in one go and easily, but in fact, every step is because of her arrangement, which is precise, meticulous and meticulous. And her on-the-spot command is calm and calm, and she seems to be at ease.
Even Dugu Liangyi himself felt incredible. What I saw in Gao Taotao today is known by a small amount. He narrowed his eyes and began to think about it seriously, perhaps...... The "Northern Expedition to Liao" in her mouth is not child's play, perhaps...... It is really not a dream to expand the territory and invigorate the barbarians.
Mo Dai on the side of the venue is in a different state of mind. She is a giant, and she has thousands of Mo family children under her. For so many years, she has worked hard in the position of a giant, but she still feels that she is not fully competent, and her own idea will determine the fate of hundreds of people. The real challenge is to convince the descendants of the Mo family to firmly believe in the Momen concept and stick to the mission of a thousand years ago.
It was under his own strict requirements that the atmosphere of the entire Mo family became gloomy and lifeless. The young people of the Mo family seem to have grown up in a blink of an eye, precocious but restrained.
Building a wooden pavilion was supposed to be a simple construction task.
But now the young people have changed, and their eyes are shining with irrepressible curiosity.
Ouyang Feng's pavilion was very strange, and it immediately attracted the young people of the Mo family, and fully aroused their interest.
