Since ancient times, talented people have been born in the Red Chamber

Chapter 978 Zhao Ji, who desires to study knowledge wholeheartedly (second update)
Chapter 987

"What's the distance?" Zhao Xu smacked his lips and asked a question that he was more concerned about.But Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and made a number.

"Eighty feet?"

"Yes, eighty feet away. And I later discovered that one of the values ​​I calculated was wrong. After adjusting it, the second test shot hit the marked impact point."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but take a deep breath. Eighty feet away, that's beyond the attack range of most long-range weapons in the world. At such a distance, the distance can still be aimed...

Zhao Xu immediately developed a picture in his mind, a Liao general standing on the top of the city and pointing, and the Song Army generals here took a pen and paper to write and draw for a long time, and reported a piece of data .

Then the generals of the Song Army adjusted the angle and height according to this series of data, and then, a stone bomb weighing 150 jin flew over a distance of eighty feet, and directly smashed the general of the Liao Army into the city wall , smashed into a pile of flesh and blood.

Damn it, this is too awesome, right?It took Zhao Xu a long time to come back to his senses, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Unfortunately, without any foundation in arithmetic and geometry, he couldn't understand those formulas and graphs that made him dizzy.

"These things must be difficult to learn, right?" Zhao Xu looked at these things, tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, and asked Zhao Ji.

"Actually, these things are the most difficult at the beginning. Once you can enter the door, you will find that although there are countless changes inside, they are always inseparable from it."

"However, my current brother can only dabble in this superficial knowledge, and there is still a lot of knowledge. With the knowledge reserve of my current brother, it is simply daunting..."

"Afraid? Didn't you say before that it will never change?" Emperor Zhao Xu couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Because what I have learned from my husband so far is only the most superficial stuff in algebraic geometry. Just understanding these formulas and principles has taken me more than half a year. Now I have just finished it. It can be roughly applied in practice..."

"Then according to what you mean, Wang Wushan's attainments in this area are much deeper than yours, right?" Zhao Xu rubbed his chin, well, he didn't know what expression to use to describe his current state of mind. mood.

"It's natural. Every time my younger brother encounters a problem, I write to the master. The master only needs a few words to solve the confusion of the younger brother, and it can also benefit the younger brother. Such an ability, I'm afraid Among the teachers in the world, he is also outstanding."

"Furthermore, this knowledge can be applied in large quantities to our military supervisory department. It is a pity that my knowledge is too shallow to apply it. Alas, I really hope that I can have the opportunity to study and study with my husband for a period of time. I'm taking it to the next level."

Seeing Zhao Ji's face full of regret and expectation, Emperor Zhao Xu couldn't help but helplessly spread his hands. "Eleventh Lang, this brother really can't help you. If you leave, who can take over the heavy burden of the military inspector? Moreover, a lot of your master's hard work is here. You are gone... "

"That's true. By the way, Your Majesty, when will you be able to return to Beijing?" Zhao Ji asked with concern after nodding his head helplessly.

"It's hard to say, but at least this year and next, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. After all, I have newly occupied the land of six states, and I still need talented ministers like him to manage it for me." Emperor Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly. He shook his head.

Not to mention Zhao Ji, he also hopes that Wang Yang can return to the capital as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the development plan of the three prefectures of Yan, You, and Hong has just begun.

At that time, the development and construction of the Silver, Stone, and Dragon states will also need his guidance, so there is no way for him to come back in a short time.

"In that case, state affairs should be the most important thing. Although the exchange of letters is a bit troublesome, at least these letters can be kept as materials for reading at any time." Zhao Ji could only comfort himself in this way.

"By the way, didn't you say that you have made a lot of achievements during this period of time? Brother Wei just happened to be here today, how about you take him for a stroll?"

"Now most of the workshops have been moved to the small town you ordered to build outside the city. There are only some more important and confidential workshops left here. Then I will take you there have a look."

The emperor wanted to come over to inspect his achievements during this period of time, Zhao Ji naturally wished for it, immediately put aside his worries, put on thick clothes, and then led the emperor to the military supervisory workshop .

Before, after Wang Yang's reminders and warnings, the emperor also realized that the Song Dynasty can now lead other countries in terms of weapons and equipment, which is equivalent to gaining a leading position in the military.

Therefore, in a valley dozens of miles south of Bianliang City, people were ordered to build an inconspicuous small city, and many workshops that needed to be kept secret were moved there.

And the most core ones, with a higher degree of secrecy, are all left in the original military weapons supervision office. However, due to the emergence of various new cold weapons in the Song Dynasty, although there are many fewer people here than in the past, the workers The squares are becoming more and more detailed.

Following Zhao Ji's footsteps, Zhao Xu first went to check the core component production department of Yuanyou's trebuchet.There are only a dozen skilled craftsmen here, but the parts they need to process are piled up in an entire room.

Seeing Zhao Xu looking at these finished parts with great interest and greased to prevent rust.Zhao Ji next to him introduced in a low voice.

"...and they are not affiliated with each other, each is responsible for its own, and each part is processed by two craftsmen in shifts. In this way, even if there is a fine workman who bribes our craftsman, it is impossible for him to fully restore the Yuanyou throwing The core components of the stone machine come..."

"Sure enough, it's a good law. What about the situation at the Gunpowder Bureau?"

Zhao Xu asked, Zhao Ji answered. Zhao Xu, who was very interested, wandered around the workshops of the Ordnance Supervision for almost an hour, and then returned to the office with Zhao Ji with unfinished emotions.

Sitting next to the iron stove, feeling the warm heat and sipping the steaming fragrant tea, Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction. "Listening to what you said so much, Shishiro, it really gave me a lot of insights. I didn't expect that this weapon supervisor has become so organized under your plan. This is a great achievement."

"Thank you for the praise from the officials. In fact, it is more due to the master. Without the guidance of the master, how could such a thing be done with the ability of the younger brother." Zhao Ji smiled a little embarrassedly.

"You, don't belittle yourself too much. I know that you are smart by nature, Shishiro. But in the past, all your intelligence was spent on playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although that is also good, but now, You are like my biological brother." Zhao Xu stretched out his generous hand and patted Zhao Ji on the shoulder.
