Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 141 Invincible Sun

Guo Kang's meaning is very clear. Even in Western Europe, compared with theology, everyone should be more tolerant of practical application knowledge.

Therefore, although little Jeanna told him to rest assured that the so-called science and theology do not have such an obvious boundary.But Guo Kang still wanted to make an agreement with them first, the multiple meanings of this study, so that the monks would not go crazy temporarily and couldn't manage it.

After telling the precautions, Dmitri went to summon his monks, and Guo Kang called Tuo Huan and Wu Han over, ready to explain the matter.As a result, they were still there, discussing the issue of rations.

Tuo Huan took a jar from somewhere, and was gesturing to Wu Han: "We just need to use methods such as heating and adding salt to kill these bugs, and then ensure that new bugs can't live on the food, and that's it. "

"Don't tell me, we really tried it before. Put the food in a bottle, then roast it on a high fire, and seal it immediately after roasting. That thing is really better than the one left outside, and the preservation condition is much better."

"So, as long as we make a jar that can be sealed, so that the outside bugs can't get in; and then use fire or other methods to kill the inside bugs. In that way, we can preserve good things."

"Can it succeed?" Wu Han asked.

"You have to try whether you succeed or not. If this thing can be made, it will be very cost-effective." Tuo Huan said: "And Guo Kang'an also said that this thing should not be difficult for a material supplier, it is a matter of craftsmanship."

"I tried several kinds of jars, glass and iron, but none of them are ideal so far. I guess I'm too stupid to figure it out somewhere. But I figured it out. I hired a dozen of jars from the city Greek craftsmen from all walks of life let them try pots of various materials and heating methods day and night, and whoever succeeds will be rewarded. I don’t believe it can’t be tested.”

"How much will it cost?" Wu Han calculated.

"Don't worry, it won't cost much, at most it's a waste of cans. Compared with the logistical loss of the army, this is nothing." Tuo Huan shook his head.

"By the way, shouldn't anyone be rewarded for whoever succeeds? Why do you say to give them all?" Wu Han asked.

"If only the successful one is given, the Greeks will definitely give priority to doing bad things to prevent the other side from progressing beyond themselves. Everyone has rewards, so they can cooperate and learn from each other." Tu Huan said: "I don't understand that kind of natural philosophy, but I Know the Greeks."

"Tai Ji is wise!" Wu Han hurriedly praised: "I heard from Master Wang that your sponsorship of the church was suspended before, and I thought you would not participate in it in the future."

"This is definitely impossible. At least I know about the army." Tuo Huan said: "In ancient times, the Roman army used torsion ballistas called 'wild donkeys'. This thing is actually very useful. , and some people like to use this thing to drop bombs, and it has been revived. The Arabs on the other side of the Mediterranean have also been using it.”

"But in the barbarian army, this kind of weapon is very rare. It's not that they don't want to. The reason is also very simple. The Frankish army did manufacture one, but when it was fired, the rope did not throw the stone forward, but threw it Go to the sky, hit your own people."

"After that, they basically relied on buying finished products from the Greeks, or imitating some small, crude and inferior products. It was not because the weapons were eliminated because of tactical changes, but because they really couldn't make weapons, so they could only change tactics. "

"You see, this is the most direct difference. It at least gives you some more choices on the battlefield."

"So don't worry, I still understand this matter." He said: "The money at that time was the income we obtained from the restoration of the sugar workshop after Cyprus was recovered. It was supposed to be income from the sweat room, so I Take out a sum and help Guo Kang'an do research. As a result, my mother didn't know what to think, and suddenly she didn't use it for me."

"She said that the property over there is going to be given to Hulu Buhua as a dowry. The income from sugar production in these years will also be saved for her, and will not be given to me."

"You see, this is very unreasonable. So I refused to accept it, and I still went there to get the money. This time, you see, I wanted to come." Tuo Huan said very dissatisfied: "Don't delay anyone. I'm answering the business. Hulu can't do without flowers."

"What's the business?" Guo Kang walked over and asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's what happened before." Tuo Huan said, "Don't worry, I've already taken care of part of the money matter."

"If there are still shortages, I plan to mobilize several military mansions and attack again after a while. My father and the others are in the north of the Magyars this time, and they have penetrated a large area. When they take turns, I will see if they can move towards the Make a surprise attack in the direction of Bohemia, and capture a few nobles for ransom. Those people are all fat and big ears, and they should make some contributions to science." He skillfully stated the plan, and it seemed that he had already made a plan. get ready.

"Okay, okay." Seeing what he said, Guo Kang could only nod: "If you have nothing else to do, go to the chapel. It should be ready over there."

Tuo Huan said that he understood, but Wu Han still seemed to have problems.

"Taiji, you just said that honey is produced by bees, is that true?"

"Uh...probably." Tuo Huan couldn't remember clearly, so he had to deal with it.

"The word 'probably', how convincing it is."

"..."

In fact, Guo Kang didn't know what was going on in this specific process, so he could only go up to smooth things over, saying that he would look up the book later.

At this moment, the door of the chapel opened.

A group of monks followed Dmitri, and Guo Kang beckoned them to follow him.

Unlike ordinary churches, the center of the Holy Light Chapel is a circle, and the guests directly enter the second floor from the entrances on both sides.

Appearing directly in front of you is a tall wooden statue of Brother Tian, ​​painted on it.Brother Tian has a serious face, with the sun's rays carved behind his head.His two hands stretched forward, and what he was holding was not a lightning sculpture, but two metal balls.

Below the holy image of Brother Tian, ​​there is a large iron turntable, surrounded by a circle of long pillars, and a black iron block is fixed on the top.The monks looked carefully, and found that there were many threads wrapped around the iron turntable, and the threads were also painted, and it looked black from a distance.

Under the iron turntable, there is a set of transmission gears.The Greeks were no strangers to these things.And at the bottom, on the ground, is a huge wooden push turntable that occupies the entire core area of ​​the chapel.Dozens of men in rags are already in position, holding handles, ready to start.Judging from the exposed brand marks, they should be Slavic slaves that are quite common in the local area.

"Which side of Brother Tian is this?" Dmitri already understood that Guo Kang and others must have to explain again.

"This is the light side." Guo Kang said, "We also call him 'Invincible Sun'."
