Chapter 135: An artilleryman who doesn't want to play with gunpowder is not a good blacksmith
There is a famous saying: "All fear comes from lack of firepower."
If you can clean the place with firepower, people who want to attack you will have to think in advance whether they have the ability to do so.
Of course, it will take a long time for this era to reach that point, but the same possibility exists.
One of them is in the book in Lin Buwen's hand.
"These are some of my old design records. They are of no use. I use them as table legs."
Mo Shan said this casually after seeing the book, not taking it seriously at all.
Lin Buwen opened it.
Rather than being designs, most of this is just some fancy ideas.
There are all kinds of creatures, including those that fly in the sky, swim in the water, burrow into the ground, and climb trees.
Some of them seemed like wild dreams and impossible to achieve to Lin Buwen.
Where is the so-called value?
"I thought too much before and made you laugh at me."
After seeing Lin Buwen's hesitant expression, Mo Shan spoke honestly.
"What's the big deal? Many things are originally created from rich imagination."
Mo Gong agreed out loud because he also had such a book.
He muttered this and then flipped through the pages carefully.
"Qiong Huaer, would you please sit down for a while?"
Lin Yao's eyes met Mo Gong's. She picked up the little guy and put him on the table, then stretched her arms and pretended to be tired.
[Ahh, sister-in-law, you’ve worked hard! ]
【mwah!】
Ji Qionghua gave her a sweet kiss.
She sat on the table with her legs spread out, playing with her fingers, and didn't continue to give instructions.
"Cough cough!"
Mo Gong walked to Ji Qionghua, and then accidentally bumped into the table, and the book in his hand fell into Ji Qionghua's arms.
【How stupid! 】
Ji Qionghua, whose head was almost hit, puffed up her cheeks and hit Mo Gong's hand with the book.
"Ouch, it hurts, Princess, please spare me."
Mo Gong shouted exaggeratedly, but his expression was stiff. It was a bit difficult to get a socially anxious person to cooperate in acting.
【Huh……】
The little princess moved her butt in disgust, and then threw the book on the table.
The page opened to reveal a recipe.
"Saltpeter, sulfur..."
Reading the words on it, Lin Buwen frowned.
This is the recipe for gunpowder.
Dachen's gunpowder is very powerful, but very unstable and prone to reaction, so it is generally used in situations where areas need to be cleared, such as blasting mountains and roads.
Dachen also tried to use it for military purposes, but most of the soldiers who participated in the experiment were seriously injured and the experiment was eventually stopped.
So far, Dachen has not yet conquered the perfect ratio of gunpowder.
This formula contains some more ingredients than traditional gunpowder.
However, the protagonist of this page is not gunpowder, but some kind of iron tool used to store gunpowder.
Just looking at the mark above, it is a failed product.
[An artilleryman who doesn't want to play with gunpowder is not a good blacksmith. ]
Ji Qionghua at the table was observing these people's reactions.
The era in which she lived was nearly two hundred years after the Qin Dynasty.
Although the great unification of Qin was not achieved here, development in some aspects was faster.
For example, the musket that is taking shape in front of us.
Firearms have made great military achievements in the 5,000-year history of China.
If Dachen can take control, then it will be enough to establish itself as the sole overlord of the Eastern Continent, and unification will no longer be a dream.
But Ji Qionghua was not prepared to push the process so fast.
If a country does not have sufficient foundation to support and withstand the demands and consequences brought about by leaps and bounds of technology, the country will be destroyed by this rapid development.
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.
All she wanted was to let them get familiar with the use of gunpowder first.
If this thing is used properly, it can be used not only to clear mountains and blow up roads, but it is also a powerful weapon on the battlefield.
The premise is that it is under control.
Something that could explode at any time might harm itself before killing anyone.
[Although this formula is not perfect, it is pretty close. If we can work with the Ministry of War to complete the final ratio, the Dachen army will be invincible. ]
Ji Qionghua's voice stirred Mo Gong and Lin Yao's hearts.
She took advantage of her young age and pulled the book out of Mo Gong's hand, fiddling with the paper with her fingers.
【Fly in the sky, swim in the sea, everything is possible. 】
In her time, the brilliant civilization and the rapidly advancing technology made all the fantasies above come true.
These words are truly shocking.
Seeing Lin Yao's serious expression, Lin Buwen also became serious.
He put the things away carefully.
"If you don't mind, I'll escort you two to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Capable people should never be let go.
Looking at Lin Buwen's excited expression, Mo Shan was confused.
However, Mo Gong's expression was flickering.
If Her Royal Highness the Princess's vision could always be so detached, then perhaps his "fantasies" would have a chance to come true.
After Mo Shan packed up simply, the two brothers left together.
They knew that from today on, their future would go in an unknown direction.
But the scenery along the way must be ups and downs, with rolling waves and brilliant flowers.
Ji Qionghua, who had found two capable people for her brother the Crown Prince, went to visit the Lin family with great satisfaction.
Although Taifu Lin is the emperor's teacher, he does not take sides in the current court.
It was not until Lin Yao and the prince got married that Tutor Lin and the prince had more interactions, and they just happened to be on the right track, so there was nothing wrong with them.
Because of Ji Qionghua's visit, the Lin family was waiting at the door.
When Ji Qionghua was carried out of the car, a bunch of voices came out to greet the princess.
"Yeah, get up, get up."
The little princess spoke to the Lin family, her big eyes blinking, and then she buried her little head in Lin Yao's arms, feeling extremely shy.
"Father, mother, don't be restrained. Qiong Hua'er doesn't understand anything yet."
Lin Yao walked up to Master Lin and Madam Lin with a smile.
Master Lin is over fifty years old, with gray hair. He is a serious and meticulous person.
Even when talking to a child, he always has a stern face, and it is obvious that he is difficult to get along with.
Ji Qionghua blinked and tentatively grabbed the other person's beard, earning a sharp look from the other person.
"whee."
She withdrew her hand with a smirk.
【Old-fashioned, serious.】
The mumbling was caught by Master Lin.
Thanks to the secret letter hastily sent from Duke Anguo this morning, Master Lin was not too surprised by the voice.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ji Qionghua.
In the eyes of Duke Anguo and the two old guys, the little princess is beneficial to the country and the people.
But what he was considering was whether a princess who was "born with knowledge", "blessed by heaven" and loved by thousands since childhood would pose a threat to the country.
He was loyal to the emperor, not the royal family.
Although his mind was in turmoil, Master Lin remained expressionless.
[The old man must be teasing me. ]
Ji Qionghua, who was very sensitive to emotions, stuck out her tongue at Master Lin.
She had experienced a lot of strange looks.
Hatred, admiration, jealousy, suspicion, murderous intent...
Those gazes could no longer hurt her.
What's more, the old man in front of her had no hostility towards her.
