What's wrong with the binding eunuch system?

The road from here to the border has been scouted out by the scouts sent by Yunying.

At this time, even in the era of backward news and underdeveloped transportation, Mu Yuanyong's reputation began to spread gradually under Mu Yuanyong's repeated momentum. The reforms made by Mu Yuanyong were slowly mentioned and remembered.

Having said so much, I want to tell everyone that the soldiers at the border now have actually heard the news of Mu Yuanyong, including the small town where he appeared, and some people want to send spies to find out the truth, but these people have been Yunying was discovered and brought to Mu Yuanyong.

It was also from the mouths of these spies that Mu Yuanyong knew that there was a soldier named Ying Han at the border.

The ranks of officers and soldiers at the border here are distributed. The biggest official is the Marshal of Bingma, but at present he can only be canonized during the war. Among the generals currently stationed at the border, the largest is General Jiang Bo. The officer is in charge of public security in the capital. Mu Yuanyong thought that he would have to deal with this Jiang Bo later, so he collected a lot of information about him.

But unexpectedly, before he reached the border, the first person he encountered was not Jiang Bo, but this lieutenant general named Ying Han. He became a lieutenant general after his military exploits. He is not very old, but he is said to be a very wise and intelligent person. The spies sent this time are all under his command.

Mu Yuanyong didn't understand what he meant, and he wasn't angry. He just felt that this person seemed to be interesting, so he said to the spies: "Go back and tell me that I will arrive at the border in about half a month. If he wants to , can be prepared in advance.”

What he was thinking at this moment was that this person named Ying Han was well-informed and had a sensitive sense of smell. It was not simply curiosity that he sent someone to inquire about his whereabouts in advance. His purpose behind it was nothing more than profit.

If he really wanted to take something from him, Mu Yuanyong would not refuse, but let him have a look at this person's ability.

After all, Jiang Bo was still the person installed by the late emperor, and no one knew what he thought of him as the new crown prince.

Mu Yuanyong's trip this time must be in his hands. All people and all voices must be under his control. He doesn't force them to have different ideas, but he can't make them think differently. They were right with him.

Because in the future, once the hot weapon is successfully developed, Dayong's territory will definitely not be like it is now, and these generals at the border will not stay here, and they will spend their lives in one pass.

Humans hate war.

But the war is for peace, for a better future.

Mu Yuanyong is ambitious, so naturally he won't let some people stand in his way.

-

Ying Han's side is actually not a big deal, it's nothing more than a new reshuffle caused by the change of power, which is related to some people's new positions.

Before Mu Yuanyong was reborn, he was a little impatient to deal with these things. Now he is obsessed with production, economy and construction.

He felt that these things were much more interesting than dealing with these battles that he was tired of watching.

So even during the rush, he still processed the documents sent by others from Xiaocheng in the carriage. Even though Kong Ji told him not to be too obsessed with work, he didn't relax for a moment.

Kong Ji was worried that this person was really addicted, and he really couldn't understand it. Although he was not the kind of playful person, for him, work, just like Wu Xiushou said, was endless. Yes, why eat a big fat man in one go, the cycle is not very good.

But just like Kong Ji couldn't understand this person's obsession with work, he couldn't help it that there would be people in this world who like such profound and obscure things as chemistry and physics.

So even on such a busy day, they faced Wen Hao's small class every night and did not attend the class. The two of them huddled in the carriage and listened to the formulas and experimental process described by Wen Hao.

Mu Yuanyong's eyes seemed to be shining, and the more he listened, the more excited he became, while Kong Ji...he fell asleep in seconds, and the next day Mu Yuanyong said: "Why are you not interested in these at all, this is so interesting , What a waste not to listen, I found that Wen Hao's lectures are getting better and better."

Kong Ji, he really couldn't understand, he looked suspicious of life: "Is it really interesting?" Could it be that he is abnormal.

As a result, in the class that night, Kong Ji persisted for 5 minutes longer than before, and then couldn't hold it anymore, and fell asleep in seconds.

He feels that there is nothing more difficult in this world than this.

And Mu Yuanyong...

The two of them probably live in different worlds.

In this regard, Wen Hao and Mu Yuanyong have a common language. Kong Ji asked Wen Hao, is this really something that people can understand?

Wen Hao also looked very surprised: "Don't you understand? It's such a simple thing, and don't you think it's very interesting? Come, let me tell you..."

After being stuffed into some messy formulas by Wen Hao, Kong Ji only understood one truth.

Don't communicate with people who live in a different world than you can understand.

This will not help you in any way except to make you more confused and suspicious of life.

After he understands this truth, he finally realizes it. He thinks that he is really not good at this aspect, but it doesn't mean that he has no redeeming qualities.

He also found something that interested him.

As for how it was discovered, I don’t know where to start, but when Mu Yuanyong was obsessed with infrastructure and couldn’t extricate himself, Kong Ji could only pass the time with the movie prepared for him by 311. He suddenly became obsessed with war , So I asked Wen Hao for some books about war, and prepared to study them carefully.

Seeing that it was rare for him to be interested in something, Mu Yuanyong said, "Since you are interested in this, why don't you help me with this?"

What he mentioned was thermal weapons. It was strange to say that Kong Ji was always fascinated by formulas, chemistry, etc., but when he really came across the structure of this thermal weapon, he was fascinated. He suddenly felt that these few small parts could construct such a powerful weapon, which really surprised him.

This reminded him of himself, the same insignificance, no one would appreciate it when it was not assembled, but once it showed its power, no one could stop it.

He said to Mu Yuanyong: "How can there be such a perfect creation in this world? It's like a godsend. I found that once I knew that these things were related to your chemistry or physics, I was not as repulsive as before."

Mu Yuanyong was amused by him, and he said: "That's because you haven't discovered the mystery of that simple formula. You just think it's an incomprehensible symbol, but you ignore those few symbols. The power under this symbol, from a chemical point of view, a small structural change can explode a powerful force."

He said, since you are so interested, then we don't care about anything in the future and just focus on doing this thing well.

Kong Ji thought about it for a while, and he has also acquired a lot of knowledge recently. He said that what needs to be made now is iron, but we have just provided him with manpower. Where can we get iron?You got the black/fire/powder, but if it’s just soil, the power is really not good, it’s not as good as a firecracker.

Mu Yuanyong said that people always come up with solutions, do you remember Kang Lu?He found flint, iron, we can smelt weapons, and I brought craftsmen...

Hearing what he said, Kong Ji immediately thought of a weapon. This starts with the origin of the gun. Like the Tang Dynasty, there was a fire blunderbuss, but this kind of gun can only be regarded as an ignition gun, and its power is not enough in all aspects. , In the historical background provided by film and television materials, the more famous one is the matchlock gun that the Europeans used the black/fire/powder of the Tang Dynasty toss. The smoldering matchstick dipped in potassium moves close to the fire hole, and it can be fired with hand-pointed ene powder. The caliber of this gun is within 23 mm, the gun weighs 8-10 kg, the projectile weighs about 50 grams, and the range reaches 250. However, because matchlocks are easy to extinguish in rainy days and exposed at night, this kind of gun was gradually replaced by flint gun after the 16th century.” (The above content is taken from Baidu Encyclopedia)

But to be honest, this kind of gun mainly relies on fire to burn the enemy, not to penetrate the enemy with ammunition, so the lethality is relatively small.

What Mu Yuanyong wants to get is a flint gun. This gun is a muzzle-loading smoothbore flintlock weapon. Compared with the previous ones, it has smaller recoil and a faster rate of fire. It is suitable for tools The exquisite production requirements are higher, Kong Ji is not worried about whether it can be made, he is only worried about whether it will consume more time in the early stage.

However, Mu Yuanyong was the first to choose to make a flintlock gun to lay the foundation for future machine guns, because the principle of future generations of machine guns evolved from flintlock guns. It's a great weapon, it's not as bulky as a cannon, nor as light as a pistol/gun.

Kong Ji thought about it, this is indeed a good choice, but they lack too many things now, not only raw materials, but also manpower for processing and production. The advent of these products is definitely not driven by one or two people. Like the shadow of the clock gear standing behind this flintlock gun, the inventor said that he borrowed the principle of the gear at the beginning.

Moreover, the development of European clocks and watches was so excellent at that time, their craftsmanship was no problem at all, but now they don't have such people in their hands, because they don't have any, so they can only do it by themselves.

Kong Ji immediately brought out a lot of materials, some of which were sorted out for him by Mu Yuanyong. He first disassembled them according to the weapon parts, and then came up with them one by one. The first thing was to prepare the molds. Mu Yuanyong specially brought a group of craftsmen , They are all good at making weapons, but they are a little confused about such delicate things.

At present, the steelmaking technology in their hands is the most primitive hammering method, relying on crucibles to fry steel and then hammering, which is extremely difficult for the delicate parts he wants to make, and the steel produced is not pure, it is not what he wants He needed to make a steel gear, and before that, he had to understand the steel, and when the steel was finished, the weapons behind could be replaced.

This is not a short-term effort. Kong Ji made a draft in his heart. The biggest difficulty at present is to overcome the problem of steel purity. In the process of steelmaking to remove unnecessary impurities, the temperature must be guaranteed first. If the temperature is raised ...on how to use chemistry to get rid of impurities...

Kong Ji went through all the information that night, and finally found a more suitable method. This is the open-hearth steelmaking method invented in the [-]th century. The pig iron produced in the regenerator is used to add limestone and other auxiliary materials... Because of this, he Finally, he no longer has a headache about chemistry, he is even more obsessed than Mu Yuanyong.

He drew a picture and asked the craftsmen to make the mold. After the mold was ready, he made the tools he wanted according to the mold. Because of this matter, he took a group of craftsmen to stay in the iron ore veins he found on the way to capture the bandits in Yunying. After cleaning up some forces on the iron ore vein, Mu Yuanyong had people stationed here for his future needs, and it really came in handy now.

Kong Ji said, I can't go to the border with you now, you have already released the news before, and it's not good to delay any longer. I will go to the border to meet you after this matter is completed.

Kong Ji carried a system on him, and once the two separated, Mu Yuanyong's course would be interrupted. He felt a little reluctant in his heart, but Wen Hao gave him a solution. Here we have to say that their current research progress has been obtained. The first surprising development is that Wen Hao can use the connection between two spaces to transmit things other than signals. Although he still cannot transmit life and has great limitations on the object itself, this is already The most effective progress so far.

After this achievement came out, Wen Hao contacted Kong Ji immediately. They did a teleportation experiment. At first, they used ordinary stones or paper and other worthless things. In the end, only one kind of success will appear in the future. metal, and this metal component must be extremely pure before it can be transmitted.

This kind of metal, Wen Hao said, is called EM, a metal they discovered in outer space, and they don't know the reason for it.

Wen Hao said that even for them, there are still too many unknowns in this world, so this further proves the importance of science.

Soon, Wen Hao gave Mu Yuanyong a communicator made of this metal through the world over there.In this way, Mu Yuanyong doesn't have to rely on Kong Ji's system as much as before.

Following the delivery of this communicator, Wen Hao later sent some weapons for the two of them to use for self-defense.

He said: "Your era is still too dangerous, and you are such an important existence. Once the results of our research are not fully realized, your lives must not be lost at all."
